Chapter 251 – Wenren Yue! (2/2)

Yu Heng had never imagined that Yang Ye would actually be able to kill Qin Youran. If he knew that Yang Ye possessed such strength and potential, then he wouldn’t have allowed Yang Ye to leave the Sword Sect even if the Sword Sect had to offend the Flower Palace and Origin School. Unfortunately, it was too late now. Fortunately, the Sword Sect still had Murong Yao and Lin Xiuran!

Su Qings.h.i.+ who stood behind Yu Heng didn’t say anything. Since she’d met Yang Ye, the changes he’d displayed had truly shocked her. If the Sword Sect fostered Yang Ye with all its might, then he would even be able to fight for supremacy with Yuan Tong! Unfortunately, Yang Ye hadn’t even displayed his natural talent when the Sword Sect had already abandoned him….

Of course, she didn’t really care about all of that now, and she was even more concerned about Yang Ye’s fate after the Ascension Rankings came to an end…. Once the Ascension Rankings come to an end, how would Yang Ye who has lost the protection of the Talisman Master’s a.s.sociation and Sword Sect be able to survive a before the Ghost Sect, Origin School, and Flower Palace?

Every time she thought about this, a wisp of worry would appear on Su Qings.h.i.+’s exquisite and gorgeous face….

At this moment, Lin Xiuran’s expression was rather unsightly. Because he hadn’t imagined that Qin Youran had actually perished at Yang Ye’s hands. He’d personally experienced Qin Youran’s strength, and it was exactly the reason why his expression was slightly unsightly right now. Because he seemed to have slightly underestimated Yang Ye since the beginning!

Lin Xiuran really was a genius that Daoist Zui had chosen, but others didn’t know that he wasn’t the only one. To put it in simpler terms, he could be eliminated at any moment! His opponent during the Ascension Rankings wasn’t Yuan Tong or the two women from the two palaces. It was Yang Ye! If his ranking was below Yang Ye, then he would be abandoned by Daoist Zui, and once he lost the support and ability to rely on such an extraordinary expert, his future accomplishments would be limited even if he’d comprehended Sword Intent!

Moreover, could anyone resist the temptation of being a figure that possessed real power in the Sword Sect in the future?

So, only one of them could remain alive!

The countless people in the surroundings had various thoughts after witnessing Yang Ye kill Qin Youran. However, all of this was meaningless to Yang Ye. Yang Ye knew the situation that he was in, and it was extremely easy for those powers to kill Yang Ye since he’d lost the protection of the Talisman Master’s a.s.sociation!

Flee? What a joke! If he fled now, he would die even sooner. Moreover, if he fled, then what about his mother? So, fleeing was impossible!

Since he couldn’t flee, then he could only stay here and fight. Even though he was very unwilling and very displeased, Yang Ye knew that he had to work hard to prove his value.

Because only by proving his own value would his mother have a chance at surviving!

In next to no time, another day had pa.s.sed, and 8 of the remaining 16 partic.i.p.ants had been eliminated.

At this moment, only 8 profounders remained on the arena, and they were the top 8. To the surprise of everyone, besides Yuan Tong, Wenren Yue, Leng Xinran, Yang Ye, and Lin Xiuran, the Brightmoon Sect’s Hao Ming who everyone had overlooked until now had actually advanced into the top 8 as well!

The Brightmoon Sect hadn’t declined like the Sword Sect, but it had always kept a very low profile. Not only did the sect keep a low profile, even its disciples were the same. So, most people had unconsciously forgotten Hao Ming.

Right, Murong Yao had stopped at the top 16. One could only say that her luck was slightly bad because she encountered Leng Xinran from the Snow Palace. Murong Yao’s strength was extremely formidable, but she’d lost to Leng Xinran in the end. However, Murong Yao was already very satisfied with being able to be ranked in the top 15, and the Sword Sect was extremely satisfied as well!

Besides the members of the six great powers, there were two more profounders who’d advanced into the top 8. One was a disciple of the Liu Clan called Liu Feng, and the other was an independent cultivator called Bai He. Both of them were extremely strong. Of course, if the Ghost Sect’s Li Xianjun and the Imperial Academy’s Qin Youran hadn’t perished, then they would absolutely have no chance of entering the top 8!

In the opinion of the spectators in the surroundings, the two of them would be unable to advance further after entering the top 8. After all, the other six profounders in the top 8 possessed strengths that could be described as terrifying.

Once it came to the top 8, the battles would naturally become more and more intense because not a single one of them was a weakling. Of course, the most popular amongst them was still Yuan Tong. Because during the battles of the top 16, Yuan Tong had still finished his opponent with a single attack. In other words, since the ranking battles had begun, Yuan Tong had merely executed a single attack during every single battle….

Presently, so long as Yuan Tong ascended the arena, then countless people below the arena would shout loudly. “One hit! One hit!”

Exactly how strong was Yuan Tong’s attack? The spectators would probably only be able to obtain a rough understanding of it if he fought Wenren Yue from the Flower Palace or Leng Xinran from the Snow Palace….

“The Flower Palace’s Wenren Yue against the Sword Sect’s Yang Ye!” On the arena, Li Si announced in a flat voice.
