Chapter 751 - 《Wind Ripple Path》 (2/2)

“Dong Bo, I’ve heard that you are fighting with Lie Yang?” A girl who was covered in scarlet scales, with golden armor draped over her figure, smiled from another cavern dwelling further away.

“Your Highness.” Xue Ying chuckled. “I am currently heading to the arena.”

The girl in front of him was the second oldest of the three children the Great Emperor Jiao Yun had–’Jiao Yun Can’. She was also the strongest amongst the three and had left both her older and younger brother far behind. She had entered the Primogenitor Devil Mountain long ago. Even though the third prince Jiao Yun Liu had become a Ruler, compared to his sister, the gap between their power was quite noticeable.

“Since this is a battle to determine the strongest Paragon, I’ll come along with you.” Jiao Yun Can took a step before appearing by the side of Xue Ying.

“Alright, let’s go.” Xue Ying traveled alongside Jiao Yun Can.

“Lie Yang is quite powerful. Previously, he had rapidly become the strongest Paragon after appearing and entered the inner layer of Primogenitor Devil Mountain. Even I have never entered that place before. Are you confident of defeating him?” Jiao Yun Can was quite beautiful, and her eyebrows were like sharp swords. She would usually wear golden armor, and one could understand her character from this.

Xue Ying chuckled. “Whether I have the confidence or not, this battle is unavoidable. I want to personally test his strength.”

“It seems you are quite confident.” Jiao Yun Can giggled.

They traveled together.

There were also other Rulers proceeding along too. After all, the battle to determine the strongest Paragon… other than the ones ranked second and third, and other slightly more boring challenges where the loser re-challenged the winner, a battle where a newcomer fought the strongest Paragon was quite rare.

However, these newcomers actually had a higher chance of defeating the strongest Paragon. Because they suddenly popped out, it was hard to determine their power. Thus, they had higher hopes. As for those who had been defeated several times, expectations of them beating the strongest Paragon were meager.

“Dong Bo, this battle isn’t easy.”

“Dong Bo Xue Ying, that Lie Yang has been the strongest Paragon for too long. Defeat him.”

Once Xue Ying arrived at the arena, several Rulers who had reached earlier shouted out. The majority of them were Rulers situated in the outer layer and were naturally on the side of Xue Ying. During these years, Xue Ying had frequently gone to read books, and had also befriended with several other Rulers who were reading too. Everyone had quite a favorable opinion to this young Paragon with a good temper.

The arena was entirely dark green. It was located within the outer layer of Primogenitor Devil Mountain.

A moment after Xue Ying arrived here, the other participant also arrived.

“Paragon Lie Yang.” Xue Ying looked ahead.

Two figures walked out from the fog enshrouding the deeper region of the Primogenitor Devil Mountain. The puppet girl was walking in the rear, and the one in front was a male wearing a robe, with both his arms exposed. This male had light brown, seemingly glossy skin. He had silver hair that was tied in many thin plaits. Upon inspection, there seemed to be several dozen plaids.

He was barefooted.

But he had a terrifying aura which came emanated faintly from his body. He was currently walking over with huge steps with a saber kept in the scabbard on his back. Both his eyes were sharp, and they gave off an oppressive feeling.

“Dong Bo, he looked similar to you. Are both of you from the same cosmos?” Her Highness Jiao Yun Can shouted from the side.

“We aren’t.”

Paragon Lie Yang who walked from afar took the initiative to reply. His eyes were staring at Xue Ying sternly as his lip curled upwards. “I know all Paragons from my hometown cosmos. He is absolutely not one of them! Furthermore, all Paragons from my hometown have plaits, and he doesn’t!”

Saying that, he took a step before leaping up to the arena with a ‘sou’. He then stared at Xue Ying. “Come on, Paragon Dong Bo. Let me see how powerful you are.”

“Alright.”

Xue Ying also leaped onto the arena.

When the two of them stepped onto the arena, the many veined patterns on the surface of the dark green arena began lighting up. The light revolved around the patterns, and a dense black array appeared in the air, enveloping the arena within.
