Chapter 548: Hidden Treasure Pavilion

Twelve of the Elders’ a.s.sembly’s elite elders gathered on a high platform. They did not wish to miss this duel, either.

Now, Xiao Chen and Murong Chong seemed to be stronger than many of them. They were even stronger than some of the elders.

An elder with small eyes sighed softly and said, “I am really getting old. Perhaps only in this budding era of geniuses would genius cultivators grow this fast. Unfortunately, we are old already. We are destined to only be spectators.”

“Ha ha! We can only be spectators. A new era of geniuses might not be a bad thing. Life will be interesting at least.”

“Indeed. Now, two genius cultivators have emerged from our Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Considering the bigger picture, there should be many more genius cultivators. When they all grow up, the era of geniuses would truly be upon us. I wonder, what kind of glorious scene will we see?”

The First Elder, Jiang Chi, smiled faintly and said, “What is the point of saying all this? Anyway, these two great geniuses agreed to fight for our Heavenly Saber Pavilion. By then, our Luck will increase. Our Heavenly Saber Pavilion will only rise in this struggle.”

“Xiu! Xiu!”

Two vague figures flew over from the east and west of the drill grounds. They were very fast, arriving at the drill grounds in the blink of an eye.

“They are here! Murong Chong and Xiao Chen are here!”

When the two people that everyone in the spectator stands were waiting for arrived, the crowd immediately grew more excited.

When Murong Chong looked at the surroundings, he recalled the scene from two years ago. The scene then was exactly the same as today.

The spectator stands then had been completely filled and everyone excited. Originally, he had come in full glory, intending to take over Qingyun Peak in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, he had failed.

Two years later, when Murong Chong saw this scene again, he could not help but feel regret.

Murong Chong’s heart was filled with hope for victory. He stared at Xiao Chen with a sharp gaze and said in a clear voice, “Xiao Chen, we will decide victory with one move!”

“As you wis.h.!.+”

The two placed their right hands on their saber’s hilt at the same time. Boundless aura, state, and saber intent started gathering quickly.

Murong Chong unleashed his state of wind and state of cloud. A strong wind blew behind him, kicking up a boundless cloud of dust. White clouds churned above him without end.

Winds blew and clouds churned. The sky changed colors.

Xiao Chen unleashed his state of ma.s.sacre and state of thunder. Dark clouds covered the sky and thunder rumbled, resounding throughout the place. The crowd’s ears were stunned, causing them to hear buzzing sounds.

A scarlet light spread wildly behind Xiao Chen. That was the state of ma.s.sacre fanning out.

Although the two’s powerful states caused heaven and earth to change drastically, they had not drawn their sabers yet. These auras they unleashed before the great battle caused everyone hold their breath; they did not even dare to breathe.

“Qiang! Qiang!”

Two resonant trembling sounds suddenly rang out. Murong Chong and Xiao Chen drew their weapons at the same time. The saber intents that they had been brewing up were suddenly unleashed.

Their sabers trembled as the saber intent spread quickly and endlessly. The sabers of the thousands of cultivators immediately trembled, as if they would come unsheathed at any moment.

“Xiu!”

The two of them moved as fast as lightning. The Lunar Shadow Saber and the scarlet saber in Murong Chong’s hand flew out of the two’s grips at the same time, the blades spinning as they headed for each other.

“Hu chi! Hu chi!”

The two sabers flared. As they moved, they both released a resplendent light, and cracks appeared in the ground.

The thousands of cultivators all cried out. When the two saber intents clashed, the sabers of the crowd could not longer be restrained; they all flew into the sky.

Thousands of sabers clashed in midair, controlled by Xiao Chen’s and Murong Chong’s weapons. The sabers clattered and clanged when they clashed; it was a spectacular sight to behold.

However, no one was looking above. They only stared at the two spinning sabers without blinking.

The sabers flew very fast. If the crowd raised their heads to look elsewhere, the victory might be decided in that instant.

“Dang!”

While thousands watched, the two sabers with vast auras finally clashed. The fissures on the ground also collided.

“Ka ca!”

The entire drill grounds instantly cracked in half, astonis.h.i.+ng the crowd in the spectator stands. Even the elders on the platform could no longer sit still.

“They are too strong. The genius cultivators are more than we imagined.”

However, a huge smile filled Jiang Chi’s face. He did not mind that the two were stronger than him. He shouted, “Good! No matter who wins, with their strength, our Heavenly Saber Pavilion is destined to gain glory in the upcoming Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion!”

“Pu ci!” The proud Murong Chong paled and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

A crack appeared on the scarlet saber that belonged to Murong Chong when it clashed with the Lunar Shadow Saber.
