Chapter 595: State of Kingship (1/2)

Chapter 595: State of Kings.h.i.+p

Silent and viewless. There was no sound and nothing could be seen. Only the ethereal bright light was visible.

There was a ‘ka ca’ sound and a resonant dragon roar reverberated within the bright light. The boundless emotionless autumn wind blew strongly, sweeping away all the specks of light.

As the autumn wind blew, Bai Qi, who was in midair, moved together with the wind, holding his saber with one hand. When the crowd looked over, they saw that Yue Chenxi lay on the ground, looking very pale and weak.

The morning sun behind Yue Chenxi was already dim, so void of light that only a pale glow remained. It was like a lamp that had burned up all its oil and would be blown out by the wind at any moment.

A long crack on the stage split the Wind Cloud Platform in half. As lightning flashed, the Wind Cloud Platform slowly healed.

Bai Qi sheathed his saber. The autumn wind drifted above the stage, circling as it poured into the scabbard.

When Bai Qi alighted on the stage, there was a trace of blood in the corner of his lips. However, his physical state was much better than Yue Chenxi’s.

It was clear who was stronger with one glance.

Bai Qi’s golden dragon roared ferociously and took a bite out of Yue Chenxi’s twenty-three-meter-long golden dragon. After that, it grew to twenty-eight meters long, catching up with Sima Lingxuan’s.

Yue Chenxi, who was on the ground, tried to stand up despite her weakness. Bai Qi knew her condition, so he sent out a cool breeze with a wave of his hand and helped her up.

Yue Chenxi said softly, “Many thanks.”

Bai Qi gave Yue Chenxi a deep look. This girl had endured three moves from him. Respect flashed in his eyes as he performed a cupped-fist salute. “I have to thank you as well. You allowed me to discover some of the insufficiencies of my Four Season Saber Technique. I hope that we still have more chances to exchange moves with each other in the future.”

“I will be glad to!”

With the verbal exchange of these two, the tense atmosphere of the earth-shattering intense battle from earlier vanished like the wind.

This was how this generation of cultivators was: winning straightforwardly and in an upright manner; accepting loss wholeheartedly; meeting victory or defeat with equanimity; letting go of everything in their hearts.

The Supreme Sky Sect elders watching the match also smiled and nodded their heads. Yue Chenxi had lost only one match. Given her strength, she would definitely be able to make it into the top five. This was considered the Supreme Sky Sect’s best result in history.

The two walked off the Wind Cloud Platform. The various experts of their respective backers quickly received them. These experts used their deep cultivation and miraculous medicines to treat the two’s injuries. Both soon recovered their combat prowess.

In this round, Xiao Chen’s opponent was Dongfang Yubai, a disciple of the one of the Great Jin Nation’s ten great sects. The two had never interacted with each other before.

Facing the highly popular and unfathomable Xiao Chen, Dongfang Yubai still maintained a hopeful heart. He still had some hidden trump cards, so he did not choose to concede defeat.

Xiao Chen was not in a rush, either. Hence, he did not mind exchanging a few moves with this person. Only when this opponent exhausted all his trump cards and had no other Martial Techniques that incited Xiao Chen’s interest did Xiao Chen lose patience.

Then, he used his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent and attacked with the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique. He defeated Dongfang Yubai in three moves, using absolute power to make him give up hope.

After defeating Dongfang Yubai, Xiao Chen’s golden dragon grew larger, becoming twenty-six meters long. He was now only one meter short of reaching twenty-seven meters. However, there was still some distance to reaching Bai Qi’s golden dragon’s length.

This was the result of not having enough resources. After all, Xiao Chen had never partic.i.p.ated in the previous Five Nation Youth Compet.i.tion, never gotten the chance to gain more Luck.

However, Xiao Chen did not overthink this. As long as he reached the peak, his Luck would naturally be more than anyone else’s.

“Next match: Sima Lingxuan versus w.a.n.g Quan!”

After twenty moves, w.a.n.g Quan, who used his Cloning Technique to save himself, could not endure any longer. Sima Lingxuan did not even have to use his Quintessence.

Sima Lingxuan only used the state of kings.h.i.+p and the Emperor’s Swordplay combined with his sixty-percent-comprehended sword intent. w.a.n.g Quan was unable to retaliate. After losing to Xiao Chen, then Sima Lingxuan, w.a.n.g Quan could no longer compete for the top three ranks.

Just as the ninety-fourth round came to an end, another battle of giants appeared. It was Xuanyuan Zhantian versus Chu Chaoyun. In the elimination round, they had chosen to tacitly declare a draw to preserve their strength. That match had ended in a draw after one move.

Draws were not permitted in the ranking matches; there had to be a victor. Furthermore, neither of the two had suffered a loss yet. Now, at this crucial moment, they could not afford to lose. If they lost here, they would lose the chance to climb to the peak. They had to put in their full effort.

“Xuanyuan Zhantian has comprehended a higher-level state of kings.h.i.+p. Chu Chaoyun probably still has trump cards that he has not revealed yet.”

“These two are about as strong as each other. Their match will definitely be more intense than Sima Lingxuan and w.a.n.g Quan’s match.”

“They have almost equal odds of victory, but I favor Xuanyuan Zhantian more. After all, he was previously the only partic.i.p.ant to dare to oppose Sima Lingxuan so far.”

The amount of attention this match received was clearly more than what Sima Lingxuan and w.a.n.g Quan’s match received. Xiao Chen could clearly make this out from the discussions.

Xiao Chen was also very interested in this match. He always had a certain fear of Chu Chaoyun, feeling that he was unfathomable.

From the very start, Chu Chaoyun had not revealed many trump cards. Now that he is facing Xuanyuan Zhantian, Xiao Chen could use this chance to see how strong Chu Chaoyun’s true power was.

Xuanyuan Zhantian was extremely cautious as he faced Chu Chaoyun. He brandished his Heavenly War Halberd and a vast sea appeared behind him, spreading in all directions.
