Chapter 246 – Extraordinary Dark Horse! (2/2)
2nd level Spear Intent!
Everyone in the surroundings was shocked once more.
Lin Xiuran’s eyes narrowed, and then he said, “As expected of the number two genius of the southern territory. You’ve actually comprehended 2nd level Spear Intent. Since it’s like that, then let’s see if your Spear Intent or my Sword Intent is stronger!” As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiuran stabbed his black iron sword at Qin Youran from afar!
in an instant, countless strands of sword qi shot out explosively from the tip of the black iron sword. These strands of sword qi were like shooting stars that were descending from the heavens, and they emanated sharp whistles as they tore through the sky and shot explosively towards Qin Youran in a dense ma.s.s.
Yang Ye’s eyelids twitched when he witnessed this scene because the technique Ling Xiuran had executed was the Energy Split Sword Technique! Moreover, Lin Xiuran had cultivated it to the highest level. Actually, that was incorrect because it was unable to produce such terrifying might even if it was cultivated to the highest level.
Right when Yang Ye was puzzled, Murong Yao suddenly said, “It’s the true Energy Split Sword Technique. The Energy Split Sword Technique we’ve cultivated is an incomplete copy, and he has cultivated the true low-grade Earth Rank Energy Split Sword Technique. He’s a member of our Sword Sect!”
Yang Ye frowned when he heard this, and then he stopped talking and continued watching the battle.
Qin Youran didn’t dare be careless when he saw the dense expanse of sword qi approaching, and he took another step forward before he suddenly shook his spear. Countless spear images instantly appeared on the arena, and then….
Bang!
Innumerable world shocking and deafening explosions resounded on the arena! Subsequently, the ground on the area started to crack apart, and in less than two breaths of time, a bang resounded while Arena No.1 rumbled and collapsed amidst the astounded gazes of everyone in the surroundings. For a time, dust and dirt suffused the air.
After the dust and dirt dispersed, Lin Xiuran and Qin Youran who were in the ruins of the arena were revealed before the eyes of everyone. At this moment, both of them weren’t standing but lying on the ground instead. The might of Earth Rank techniques was extremely terrifying, and the might of two was even more terrifying. So, both of them were unable to escape the aftershock created by the collision of the two Earth Rank techniques.
“Who won?”
“Both of them have fainted, so it’s probably a tie, right? Otherwise, it would be unfair no matter which one of them is named the winner!”
“Tsk, tsk. I truly never imagined that this independent cultivator, Lin Xiuran, would actually be able to fight Qin Youran to a draw. What an extraordinary dark horse!”
As the crowd discussed animatedly, the judge was slightly troubled because both of them were lying on the ground right now. So, exactly who won?
Right when the judge was troubled, Lin Xiuran and Qin Youran had suddenly moved at the same time.
After a short while, both of them stood up slowly under the astounded gazes of everyone. After they stood up, their gazes locked onto each other at the first possible moment, and then the profound energy within their bodies instantly started surging.
Right when they were about to continue fighting, Li Si suddenly appeared here. He glanced at them before he said, “This battle is considered to be a draw!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Si’s figure flashed and vanished on the spot.
Both of them revealed unwilling expressions when they heard this, but they didn’t dare to go against Li Si’s decision. So, they immediately glanced coldly at each other before walking towards opposite directions.
After taking a few steps, Lin Xiuran suddenly stopped moving, and then he turned to look at Yang Ye who stood below Arena No.9. A wisp of a cold smile suffused the corners of Lin Xiuran’s mouth when he saw Yang Ye, and there was even a wisp of ghastly killing intent that flashed in the depths of his eyes. His gaze stayed on Yang Ye for a moment before he turned around and left, and it wasn’t long before he vanished from everyone’s fields of vision.
Yang Ye frowned in the crowd because he’d been constantly observing Lin Xiuran. So, he was looking at Lin Xiuran when Lin Xiuran looked at him. Even though Lin Xiuran had concealed it very well, Yang Ye had still captured the killing intent in the depths of Lin Xiuran’s eyes. This puzzled Yang Ye because he’d never met Lin Xiuran in the past!
However, Lin Xiuran was clearly targeting him, and this caused Yang Ye to be extremely puzzled.
Yang Ye shook his head and stopped thinking about this. Since Lin Xiuran wanted to kill him, then Lin Xiuran was an enemy. Since it was an enemy, then he would naturally not show mercy during the compet.i.tion. It was just that simple.
Although Lin Xiuran’s strength was extremely formidable, and it was especially so for that sword technique that had heavily injured Qin Youran at the start of the battle. But did Yang Ye have to fear Lin Xiuran? In all honesty, Yang Ye had never feared anyone in the same realm of cultivation, and it was the same even when it was Yuan Tong!
Because Arena No.1 had been destroyed, the Empire had no choice but to establish a new arena. This time, the crowd witnessed how terrifying the Empire was because the enormous arena that stretched almost 300m in all directions had actually appeared on the square in less than two hours of time!
Thus, a new round of battles began.
