Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 198
Chapter 198 Encounter Sword Chengfeng Again
On the last day, Xuan Wang Feng made a new division. Those who entered the top sixty were divided into one area, and the rest of the area was cleared out. More disciples flooded in to watch the tournament.
‘”The most exciting and tense moment has arrived. I will explain the rules to everyone. It is still in the form of drawing lots. Sixty people will draw their opponents and enter the top thirty. When the last fifteen people are left, we will implement the points system and determine the first to fifteenth place. The highest points will of course be the champion!”
Daoist Primordius’ voice echoed in the loud Xuan Wang Feng for a long time and entered everyone’s ears.
“You may ask how to obtain points. Of course, those old disciples understand, but I have to explain it again, because many new disciples are not clear about it.”
After saying that, he paused and continued,
“The top fifteen will fight fourteen battles against different opponents. The winner will score three points, draw one point and lose zero points. The winner will be the champion. Do you understand?”
Daoist Primordius explained very clearly. The reason was very simple. Fifteen people fought against different opponents, and each of them had to fight fourteen battles. Of course, the one who won the most was the champion.
The reason why this arrangement was made was to be more fair. If the draw continued, it would cause injustice.
For example, if Xu Qingfeng from the Heavenly Star Academy encountered Ding Bu Hui from the Heavenly Star Academy, one of them would definitely be eliminated by drawing lots. The remaining disciples might not be as strong as the two of them, and with the point system, even if he lost one match, he would still have a chance of winning the championship.
Sixty people gathered together and began to draw lots. Ye Feng and Qi Ruomei stood together. Their relationship had basically been made public since their last trip to the Black-White Hall.
“Ye Feng, what’s your number?”
Qi Ruomei drew number 50 and asked Ye Feng.
“Number 10!”
Ye Feng took out the bamboo slip and wrote the word # 10 in astonishment.
“I wonder who the tenth opponent will be!”
Qi Ruomei was very concerned and hoped that Ye Feng would get good results.
The arena was once again integrated into fifteen arenas that could accommodate thirty people at a time.
Someone had already landed on the first arena, and people were constantly jumping off the high arena. Ye Feng drew the number ten. The first round came out, and it was in the number ten arena.
Whoosh!
Ye Feng’s body landed on arena number ten with a whoosh.
“Hahaha, we are truly destined. The heavens have eyes, and I finally met you!”
The moment Ye Feng landed on the arena, a sinister laugh came from across the arena.
Ye Feng was stunned. He did not expect that his opponent in this match was actually Jian Chengfeng. He seemed to have arranged it deliberately. How could it be so coincidental? The two of them drew the number ten lot at the same time.
“Kid, you almost crippled my cultivation when you injured me last time. Today, I’m going to settle this debt properly. You probably didn’t expect that not only would I be fine, my strength would also greatly increase, and I would even break through to the peak of the late Earth Martial Stage.”
Jian Chengfeng smiled sinisterly. This time, when his grandfather brought him into the Little Cosmos World, he was baptized by the Chaos Qi, causing his physical body to greatly increase. He even broke through the shackles and entered the peak of the Earth Martial Realm. His strength had more than doubled.
“Really? Coincidentally, I also have the same intention. Since you injured Kou Chenlong, we should settle this debt properly!”
Ye Feng said coldly with a calm expression and no emotion fluctuation.
“Arrogant, don’t think that you can be arrogant when you defeated me last time!”
Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Jian Chengfeng shouted angrily. In a few months, his strength had increased explosively, almost exploding in a geometric manner. His strength was even comparable to Ding Bu Hui’s.
“If I can ravage you once, there will be a second time. Cut the crap and make your move!”
Ye Feng was too lazy to talk to him. He had enmity and revenge. He complained bitterly. Yesterday, Kou Chenlong almost died at his hands, which made Ye Feng extremely angry. Today, when they met, the two of them immediately erupted with sparks of hatred.
“Since you want to die early, I will fulfill your wish!”
The sword in Jian Chengfeng’s hand was unsheathed and he let out a clanging sound. It was another top-grade spirit artifact. It was good to have a good grandfather, and there was no lack of resources.
“Alas, it’s a pity. Although Ye Feng’s strength is not bad, it seems that he has a tough battle to fight when he meets Jian Chengfeng.”
Some disciples began to feel sorry for Ye Feng. If they entered another round, they might even enter the top 15 and compete for the top 10 spots.
“That’s not necessarily the case. Jian Chengfeng is just a jar of medicine. He was piled up by his grandfather using spirit pills when he was young. Even though his strength is not bad, compared to a true expert, there is still a gap!”
Some people didn’t think so. The reason why Jian Chengfeng’s strength had increased so quickly was because of the miraculous pills. He had lived in all kinds of pills since he was young. Even a pig could rise to this level.
This battle was undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Although there were also a few Eldest Senior Brothers at the entrance of the hall, they were definitely not as intense as this battle. More than 90% of their gazes were focused on the tenth arena.
“Yang Hua, your courtyard is probably going to stop for more than 30 years this year. I wonder how you feel!”
Yu Zhongtian teased Yang Hua with a faint smile.
“That’s not necessarily the case. It’s still too early to rank second in terms of victory and defeat!”
Yang Hua knew that the other party was abusing him, so he didn’t care and replied indifferently.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t we make a bet? Do you dare to suppress my bet on Sword Chengfeng?”
Yu Zhongtian had a wicked smile on his face and was actually betting in front of everyone.
“Since you are so elegant, how can I disappoint you? I wonder what you can offer as a bet!”
Yang Hua did not refuse and actually agreed.
“I know that you obtained a healing pill a while ago. Why don’t we use it as a bet? I lost. I offer the 10,000-year-old intermittent pill. If you lose, the healing pill will be mine. Do you dare to bet on it?”
The corner of Yang Hua’s eyes narrowed. Few people knew that he had obtained the recovery pill. It was reserved for him to treat his hidden illness. If he lost, he wouldn’t know when his injuries would recover. If he didn’t gamble, he would lose face in front of everyone.
“What, you don’t dare to bet anymore?”
Seeing Yang Hua’s hesitation, Yu Zhongtian revealed a wicked smile. He wanted to take this opportunity to regain his face. Once he lost the Healing Pill, Yang Hua would not be able to recover from his injuries for ten to eight years.
“Alright, I promise!”
Yang Hua clenched his teeth and actually agreed. Since gambling was definitely risky, he believed that if Ye Feng could obtain the Wannian Intermittent Pill, then his injuries would be easier to recover. With the Wannian Intermittent Pill and the Rehabilitation Pill, there was almost a 90% chance of him recovering.
“Ready!”
When Yu Zhongtian heard Yang Hua’s agreement, he revealed a trace of cunning. He took out a pill from his storage ring, placed it in a porcelain bottle, and placed it on the stone table in front of him.
The same was true for Yang Hua. A dark green medicinal pill was hidden within the ring. A faint fragrance was emitted from it. Smelling the fragrance, it seemed that some hidden diseases on his body could be cured by himself. He casually put the medicinal pill into a porcelain bottle and placed it on the table.
“You should still be lacking a medicine. Otherwise, you would have already taken the Rehabilitation Pill!”
Yu Zhongtian said with a faint smile.
“That’s right, I still lack the Forgotten Dust Grass. With your Ten Thousand Year Intermittent Pill, I can avoid the Forgotten Dust Grass!”
Yang Hua did not lie. Although he had obtained the Rehabilitation Pill, it was because he lacked a single ingredient and could not be used together. Even if he consumed the Rehabilitation Pill, he would not be able to completely recover from his injuries.
If they were paired with the Ten Thousand Year Intermittent Pill, it would make up for this deficiency. That was why Yang Hua decided to be ruthless and decided to gamble. In addition to believing in Ye Feng, he knew that Ye Feng would definitely not stop like this.
No one interfered with their bet. They turned a deaf ear to it. They only glanced at it and didn’t care. On the third day, Court Head Sima Wushang actually didn’t come, so everyone was more casual.
On the arena, the battle intent became more and more intense. Both of their bodies emitted dense killing intent, wanting to tear each other apart.
“This is my top-grade spirit artifact, the Spirit Letter Sword. It’s your honor to be the first downstream soul of the sword.”
Jian Chengfeng touched the longsword. This was the first time he took it out and used it. It was also the longsword that his grandfather had gifted him for the competition.
“Really? I hope you can do it!”
Ye Feng scoffed. He didn’t care at all. Last time, the sword was shattered by him, but this time, it could also be destroyed.
“Die!”
Jian Chengfeng couldn’t wait any longer. He swung his sword towards Ye Feng, as if he was riding the wind and breaking the waves. His sword technique was fierce and emitted bursts of Yin Qi. Ye Feng had experienced his Frost True Qi last time, so he didn’t dare to be careless this time.
After two months, this Sword Wind was truly not simple. His strength had increased tenfold. Ordinary Earth Martial Realm cultivators were no match for him.
“The damned person should be you!”
Without any hesitation, Ye Feng grabbed the longsword with both hands. Ye Feng’s body was comparable to refined iron. Ordinary spirit artifacts were not as hard as his, so he did not hesitate and directly grabbed it.
“You’re courting death! You actually dare to grab my sword!”
The Hanling Sword was a top-grade spirit artifact, comparable to a semi-magical artifact. Its hardness was stronger than ordinary magical artifacts. Ye Feng actually dared to forcefully receive it, causing many disciples to be shocked. They thought that Ye Feng was crazy.
Ye Feng laughed coldly. He didn’t care at all. His body exploded and he flew into the air. The sharp claw wind pierced through the air and fiercely grabbed onto the longsword.
“Clang!”
A loud explosion rang out. No one saw the scene of his arm being cut off by the sword. Only a spark flickered, and Ye Feng shook the sword to the side.
“How is that possible? His hands are harder than spirit artifacts!”
Seeing that Ye Feng was completely unharmed, and even shook his sword to the side, many disciples directly stood up. They did not understand at all, could Ye Feng’s body be made of pure iron?
“You … you can actually contend against my Spirit Letter Sword!”
Jian Chengfeng raised his sword. He didn’t seem to believe it. His sword was as sharp as mud. Even the cold iron in the deep sea could be cut off by his sword. Why did he feel numb in his arm and was pushed back by Ye Feng’s backlash?
“The exciting part is yet to come!”
Ye Feng’s body rushed straight in without any intention of dodging. He did not avoid the sword of the Taboo Sword Chengfeng and allowed his sword to attack again. Ye Feng had to crush his opponent in an absolutely cruel way to vent the hatred in his heart.
Ten fingers unconsciously appeared and grabbed traces in the air. They were no weaker than sharp swords. With a single shot, they were like civet cats. Their bodies passed through the sword curtain and grabbed towards Jian Chengfeng’s arm.
