Chapter 254 – Hao Ming! (1/2)
At the moment that Wenren Yue admitted defeat, Cai Feng’s expression instantly turned horrifyingly gloomy. She’d been constantly waiting for Wenren Yue to utilize her true trump card. In Cai Feng’s opinion, even if Yang Ye had suddenly become quite mysterious, Yang Ye would definitely die once Wenren Yue utilized her true trump card! However, she’d never imagined that Wenren Yue would directly admit defeat. This also caused her to become overwhelmed with rage to the point of suffering qi deviation!
Why did Wenren Yue admit defeat? Besides Wenren Yue herself, there was probably no one else who knew the answer….
Wenren Yue had just left the arena when Cai Feng appeared by her side, and Cai Feng asked in a furious voice. “Why did you do that?”
Wenren Yue glanced at Cai Feng before she said, “I’m willing to accept the punishment of the palace!”
Cai Feng was infuriated when she heard this, and she said with rage, “The punishment of the palace? Little Xue, truthfully speaking, I’m not angry that you let Yang Ye live because he would definitely be unable to escape death once the Ascension Rankings came to an end. I’m angry because you gave up on the compet.i.tion! With your strength, you’re entirely capable of seizing the top three! Could it be that you’re not aware that the benefits the palace receives increases along with your ranking?”
Wenren Yue remained silent and didn’t say a single world. This caused Cai Feng to be even more furious, but she was helpless towards this. Even though Wenren Yue was merely an inner court disciple at the First Heaven Realm, Wenren Yue’s status in the Flower Palace was even higher than Cai Feng who was an elder of the sect. Because she was the inner court disciple who possessed the greatest natural talent and potential!
Even though everyone was still puzzled, the compet.i.tion still continued. With a colossus like the Grand Qin Empire presiding over the compet.i.tion, a new arena had appeared once more on the square in less than two hours of time.
In next to no time, everyone stopped thinking about why Wenren Yue had admitted defeat because Yuan Tong had ascended the arena. Yuan Tong’s opponent was an independent cultivator called Bai He.
Bai He had a slightly rugged appearance, and his figure was robust. If he hadn’t pa.s.sed Li Si’s test, then the spectators might even think that he was over 30 years of age now! When he heard his opponent was Yuan Tong, Bai He didn’t reveal any sorrow on his face, and he withdrew a large saber that had a demon’s head carved on it. He supported the saber on his shoulder, and then he walked up the arena.
Under the gazes of antic.i.p.ation that shot over from the surroundings, Yuan Tong appeared on the arena as well. At the moment Yuan Tong’s figure appeared there, the crowd in the surroundings instantly started seething with excitement!
“Yuan Tong! One hit! Yuan Tong! One hit!”
“One hit!”
Since Yuan Tong had started ascending the arena until now, not a single one of his opponents could withstand a single strike of his. Now, the spectators wanted to witness such a legend once more!
Yuan Tong grinned as he gazed at the spectator, and then he looked at Bai He who supported the large saber on his shoulder. Yuan Tong placed his hands behind his back, and a smile remained on his face, causing him to fully reveal the elegant demeanor of an expert.
No one said that Yuan Tong was trying to act cool because Yuan Tong possessed the strength for that. Even though it displeased many people, they couldn’t do anything about it….
When Li Si announced the beginning of the battle, the gazes of everyone moved onto Bai He. Now, all of them wanted to see if Bai He would be able to withstand a single attack from Yuan Tong!
At this moment, Bai He felt quite pressured. Of course, anyone who became Yuan Tong’s opponent would feel pressured. However, he had to fight even if he felty pressured. Even if he admitted defeat, he had to admit defeat after exchanging at least two blows with Yuan Tong. Otherwise, it would truly be a humiliation for him!
Bai He took a deep breath and slowly raised the saber from his shoulder. He held it with both hands before the profound energy within his body surged madly into it, and then a violent gale suddenly appeared around Bai He’s body, causing the hard ground where Bai He stood started to crack inch by inch.
Numerous spectators in the surroundings were shocked when they witnessed this scene, and they said to themselves, Bai He didn’t rely solely on luck to enter the top 8, and he does possess some strength. However, it’s truly a bit too weak in front of Yuan Tong!Yuan Tong who stood opposite Bai He still had an indifferent expression and didn’t show any intention to attack. He allowed Bai He to acc.u.mulate strength!
At a certain moment in time, a wisp of a ferocious expression flashed in Bai He’s eyes, and then he held the large saber with both hands as he swiftly chopped it downward towards Yuan Tong. In an instant, a white colored strand of light that was over 10m long shot out explosively from the tip of the saber. Because the energy contained within this saber light was too terrifying, a rift that was around 0.5m wide and a few meters deep had extended from Bai He’s feet to Yuan Tong.
Yuan Tong finally moved when the terrifying saber light had arrived less than 1.5m away from him. He took a step forward before he clenched his right hand tightly into a fist, and then he smashed his fist at the saber light. In an instant, a fist that was formed from energy shot out explosively.
Under the gazes of antic.i.p.ation that came from the surroundings, the fist and the saber light collided with each other in midair!
Bang!
An enormous bang rumbled and resounded on the arena, and then the fist formed from energy seemed like a sharp sword that pierced into rotten wood as it instantly blasted the saber light into dispersal. After that, it didn’t slow down at all as it arrived in front of Bai He before smas.h.i.+ng onto Bai He’s chest.
