Chapter 473: Chu Chaoyun Draws His Sword
“Look! Chu Chaoyun is going to draw his sword!”
Not many people paid attention to the arena Xiao Chen was on as the matches there were too boring. His opponents always surrendered before the fight even began.
However, the moment Xiao Chen drew an opponent that was of equal standing, his arena attracted everyone’s attention.
In the first round of selection, Chu Chaoyun obtained sixty consecutive victories before taking the initiative to surrender for the rest of the matches. During those sixty matches, he had never drawn his sword.
However, at that time, Chu Chaoyun was in the same wrestling ring as Zuo Mo. Zuo Mo overshadowed him, so no one paid too much attention to him.
However, in the second round of selection, Chu Chaoyun did not suffer any defeat in the fifteen matches of the first day. Furthermore, just like in the first round of selection, he did not draw his sword.
Even when facing Pei Shaoxuan, he still refrained from drawing his sword. The sword seemed to be a mere decoration.
The more times this happened, the more curious the crowd became. They wanted to see how he would fight Xiao Chen.
They were both from the Great Qin Nation. In addition, the crowd wanted to see how strong Chu Chaoyun was with his sword drawn.
Amidst the crowd, Hua Yunfei and the others were watching Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun. They watched them speechless and felt very bitter in their heart.
It was not too long ago that these two people were about as strong as them. Then, Xiao Chen alone managed to defeat all of them as a group.
Who knew that somebody like Chu Chaoyun would appear as well. Now that such an outstanding talent appeared from the Great Qin Nation as well, the frustration in their hearts was easy to imagine.
Up in the arena, the auras of the two intensely clashed with each other. A strong wind started to blow, spreading to the outside of the arena.
The wind kicked up the dust and creating a cloud, hiding the arena from the crowd. The spectators could not help but squint and try to see through it.
“Xiu!”
The surging wind suddenly came to a stop. The sound of two weapons rang out; Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen had made a move at the same time.
The crowd only saw a golden light filling the air behind Chu Chaoyun. The light was resplendent and dazzling; it was so piercing, that the crowd’s eyes hurt.
“State of light! The state Chu Chaoyun has comprehended is unexpectedly the state of light, the strongest of all states!”
The onlookers were all shocked.
“Xiu!”
An even brighter sword light appeared within the golden light. The sword light shot out, and a vast sword intent rushed towards Xiao Chen at lightning speed.
The instant the light appeared, the state of thunder and state of ma.s.sacre that Xiao Chen had been suppressing immediately burst out.
A purple light behind them spread out and electric sparks flickered amidst it. When infused with the state of ma.s.sacre, the scarlet and purple lights alternated.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The two started to compete with their states. The incredibly resplendent golden light clashed with the extremely strange purple and scarlet light.
Intense explosions rang out around them. The stone tiles covering the arena cracked and pieces of flooring floated in mid-air.
“Xiu!”
Two figures flashed on the chaotic arena. They moved so fast that the crowd could not follow their movements.
The scene seemed very chaotic: lights of many colors flickered, and countless pieces of shattered stone flooring flew everywhere. The crowd simply could not see how did this happen.
“Pu ci!” Two mouthfuls of blood shot into the air and splattered onto the ground, dying it red.
However, no one could figure out whose blood it was. Even Jiang Zimo and the others were not capable of doing so. The speed of the two attacking with all their might was simply too fast.
The many colored lights and the different states intermingled on the arena—there was no way to see clearly.
In two opposite corners of the arena, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun stood with their backs facing each other. Blood slowly dripped down from both the saber and the sword.
“Is it a draw?” the crowd below wondered.
The weapons were stained with blood. That meant that they had struck each other simultaneously. The two mouthfuls of blood seemed to have also come from both of them.
“It was too fast, I could not see it clearly. Unexpectedly, they managed to end up in a draw.”
“The scene was very chaotic. I could not see their attacks at all.”
The result seemed to be decided. Thus, the onlookers shook their heads and sighed. The fight had been too fast. Although it had been a breathtaking fight, they could not understand what had happened.
“Xiu!”
Just then, Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun turned around at the same time. Even though the fight seemed to have ended, the golden light and the alternating purple and red light quickly poured into their weapons.
The spectators were flabbergasted. They muttered, “Is the fight not over yet? Have they not made their move yet, despite such a big commotion?”
Chu Chaoyun’s sword left his hand and hovered in midair. Then, it started spinning.
He quickly and continuously made hand seals. As more hand seals were made, his fair hands started to glow with a golden light.
Xiao Chen stayed expressionless. He used his Lunar Shadow Saber to direct a strange energy. Dark clouds started churning in the sky and thunder rumbled.
When the golden light reached its brightest, Chu Chaoyun separated his hands. The flickering golden light on his left hand looked like a mirror.
He then moved the light around his sword, forming a circle.
“Chi! Chi!”
