Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws - Chapter 291
Chapter 291: Nangong Huang defeats Lei Mingtian, Murong Xuan battles Li Yin
Lady Snowflake was dumbfounded.
Nevertheless, the majestic sword qi was already fast approaching in her direction, and that terrifying power made her shudder.
She then strummed the guqin with all her fingers and a piece of appalling guqin music erupted.
Ripples ripped through the air as the blades within the guqin music attempted to deflect Murong Xuan’s sword qi. However, this was all futile.
In the end, Lady Snowflake was blasted off her feet by the sword qi which tore the clothes on her body into tatters, revealing big patches of her snowy-white skin.
Many male cultivators at the scene could not help but catcall enthusiastically.
Lady Snowflake was extremely embarrassed and humiliated, she fetched out a cloak from her Yin and Yang Ring to cover up the parts of her body which were left open for the public eye.
“I concede defeat in this trial.”
Lady Snowflake swiftly recovered her composure and said.
The Black Heaven Sect had won another round.
The third round, second match, second battle.
It was Nangong Huang versus Lei Mingtian.
The two of them stood on the arena with incredibly valiant Daoist Rhymes emanating from both of their bodies, interweaving in the air around them.
“Nangong Huang, who knew that your powers would’ve increased to this stage in just one short year. And that Murong Xuan as well. You guys have really surprised me,” Lei Mingtian said with indifference.
“Are you here just to flatter us?”
“You…”
Lei Mingtian’s face turned glum. “It’s the taller trees in the woods that get their tips blown off. You Black Heaven Sect think you guys are so great. Do you guys really think that no one can beat you?”
“Whoever beats us, I’m sure it won’t be you.”
Nangong Huang took out the Deep Pool Rainbow Sacred Sword and the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme on his body rapidly escalated. Very soon, it was enough to hold Lei Mingtian down!
Lei Mingtian’s expression changed before he responded with the first strike.
The moment he threw out a punch, a surge of violent Lightning-based energy unleashed.
“Tide Surging Sword Art!”
The collision of the two forces sent a shockwave across the entire arena. Dust, sand, and rubble swept the place in a gust.
From the audience’s perspective, two figures were continually attacking each other within that sandstorm. Every time they clashed, a formidable shock wave would erupt and the sheer power would rumble the whole space.
Boom!
Just then, one of the figures within the dust and sand was blasted out into the air.
All the audience saw was Lei Mingtian crashing onto a wall, and he had a sword mark that stretched across from his shoulder to his waist. It was almost as if he was going to be cut into half.
“How has Nangong Huang’s strength improved so quickly?”
“What the hell have they experienced in this one year?”
Lei Mingtian did not believe it.
Inside the rubble of dust.
Nangong Huang slowly walked out.
With the Deep Pool Rainbow in his hand and sword qi dancing around him, he said nonchalantly, “Thunder Falcon Tribe’s Young Emperor? You’re even weaker than one of my Sect Leader’s clones.”
He meant every single word he said.
To the others, Lei Mingtian may be a formidable Young Emperor, but in comparison to Chu Kuangren, he was not even as good as one of Chu Kuangren’s sword qi clones.
This might sound ridiculous, but it was the truth.
It was exactly because of this fact that Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the rest of the crew did not dare rest on their laurels one second even if they had improved by leaps and bounds.
It was because their Sect Leader was Chu Kuangren — someone who could inspire them to work harder and strive for greater heights, and someone who was an idol that they wanted to become one day!
As compared to Chu Kuangren, what did this little improvement that they had gained mean?
“D*mn you!!”
Upon hearing Chu Kuangren’s name, Lei Mingtian got even more enraged. He leaped into the air abruptly, revealing his true form, where the silvery-white lightning which encompassed his body gradually turned crimson red, more ferocious, and more violent!
“Blood Lightning Downpour!!”
With a loud cry, Lei Mingtian flapped his pair of wings and unleashed a bolt of scary red lightning that looked like a giant python from the sky, making its way to Nangong Huang.
The power of this attack was so terrifying that every sky-pride’s gaze froze when they saw the Lightning-based Daoist Rhyme that flowed within it.
A similar shock appeared on Nangong Huang’s face as well.
“Yinyang Cycling, Sundown!”
A black and white stream swirled in Nangong Huang’s eyes. It was his Top-notch Physique, Yinyang God-eye!
The Divine Yinyang Light surged out from Nangong Huang’s eyes as he yelled, and within the Yinyang Cycling was an endless stream of Daoist Rhyme.
The moment the Blood Lightning and Divine Yinyang Light clashed together, they erupted into such dazzling brilliance that even the fabrics of space around them seemed like they were about to be twisted.
The horrifying impact spread outwards in mid-air, even Nangong Huang and Lei Mingtian were both affected by this subsequent force, engulfed by its sheer power.
Nangong Huang seemed to be fine as he only had light injuries. However, Lei Mingtian was not so lucky. Since Nangong Huang had already heavily wounded him before, sustaining the huge impact this time did not make it better as he fell onto the ground from mid-air.
“D*mn, d*mn you…”
As Lei Mingtian was struggling to get back on his feet to continue the battle, he was once again sent flying by one of Nangong Huang’s sword qi, ending the battle there and then.
Nangong Huang won!!
“If Black Heaven Sect keeps winning, the point gap would be dragged so wide that even winning every battle in the subsequent rounds would not be enough to turn it around.”
“Since the competition was already at this stage, do you think points still matter? All they want is to save their reputation now. If Black Heaven Sect were to go on like this, I reckon we, these remaining orthodoxies, would become everybody’s laughing stock.”
“Absolutely correct. Who cares if we don’t win. We must let those buggers from Black Heaven Sect have a taste of defeat!!”
Every sky-pride and Sect Leader of the other orthodoxies stared at the Black Heaven Sect camp, their eyes filled with hatred and jealousy.
Things especially held true for those in Group Delta. They knew for a fact that at this stage, it was near impossible for them to break through the group stages and qualify for the next round.
The Black Heaven Sect was just way too formidable!
However, they had to try and beat them once, right?!
If they allowed the Black Heaven Sect to defeat them like this, would it not make them and a few other orthodoxies look too weak?
The second round, third battle.
Xiao Tianye from the Heaven Chord Sect was up against Li Yin from the Daoist School of Dedication.
Among these two people, one was a Young Emperor from the current era, while the other a sky-pride who was one of the Ten Unparalleled Warriors of the ancient era. Both of them fought a close battle.
“Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior!!”
Li Yin cast a unique technique, where his whole body turned pitch-black and almost unbreakable. He took on Xiao Tianye’s attack of guqin sound waves raw and shattered it with just one fist!
“What kind of technique is this? It’s so powerful.”
Some of the sky-prides were surprised.
“I’ve heard that this Black Emperor Indestructible Exterior is a secret physical technique. It can turn the user’s body into divine metal, which is incredibly tough, and it could endure attacks from even Honorable Supremes.”
The Heaven Chord Sect Leader said calmly.
Then, he let out a helpless sigh. Two of Heaven Chord Sect’s sky-prides had advanced to the second round, but a shame was that none of them could make it to the third round.
The Black Heaven Sect had two of theirs through to the second round as well, but the results were completely different as both made it to the third round.
“We have now entered the third round. Since there are three contestants, you need to take a draw to decide who gets to walkover. The remaining two shall be matched and the winner will progress to another battle with the person who walkovered. Then, the final winner will be decided.”
The Thirteenth Prefect explained.
He took out a box, and the three contestants went up to make a draw.
“It’ll be awesome if Li Yin gets a walkover, so that the two Black Heaven Sect contestants will need to face their own and eliminate one of them. Only then would Li Yin have a chance of progressing to the final round.”
One of the sky-prides hypothesized, and the rest of them agreed.
It was not that they had a special adoration for Li Yin. In fact, it was simply because they could not stand watching Black Heaven Sect gain such prowess and humiliation for the rest of them.
“Hey, I got to walkover.”
At this moment, Nangong Huang was staring at the bead in his hand.
It was blank.
Meanwhile, the beads in the hands of Murong Xuan and Li Yin had one word carved on them, ‘battle’.
“D*mn, Black Heaven Sect is really lucky.”
“Two of them went through, and now one of them gets to walkover. Poor Li Yin, now he’ll need to go up against two of them.”
Even Li Yin himself could not help but feel the edge of his mouth twitch.
Anyhow, he could not blame anyone for the luck that he had.
