Chapter 125 (1/2)
The man landed on the ground and immediately crushed several bricks of granite which were hard as iron. Every step he took, the tile under his feet cracked.
Everybody felt suffocated. This man’s martial arts achievement was far beyond that of the former three people, which might be at late Realm 3. A normal Core Forming Realm cultivator could not compete with him at all.
What was even more horrible was that the man was so young. He looked like he was about 25 years old. His brows looked like blades, and his eyes looked like cold water. His two cold eyes looked like two blades placed at the shoulders. Many people could not help but shuddering at the moment.
On his back was a broadsword which was 1.5 meters long and 0.4 meters wide. It was wrapped up by some strips of cloth, and only the blood-red hilt was exposed.
“Who dares to fight me?” He walked step by step to the stage and scanned the crowd as if he was searching for prey. Right now, nobody dares to answer the challenge because they had witnessed the three people’s strength before.
Although some elders were slightly angry, they felt inappropriate to fight a young man. If they lose, they would be humiliated.
He Chentian scanned the crowd recklessly, and his eyes finally rested on Xiaoyue. “Are you Xiaoyue?”
Xiaoyue said lightly, “Yes. What does Brother He want?”
He Chentian took out the large broadsword and pointed at her, saying, “Can you fight me?!” Although the broadsword was wrapped by cloth strips, it gave off a peculiar smell. His look and tone were also extremely arrogant as if he ignored all cultivators present.
Xiaoyue felt the strength of this person and smiled lightly. “I can since Brother He asked me, but…”
Before she could finish, He Chentian slashed at her. The broadsword burst out a 3-meter-long red radiance even wrapped by cloth. “Poom!” Dust flew about, the ground Xiaoyue stood was cut open.
“If you can then just fight! Where comes all those bullshit!” He Chentian then slashed at her again. The crowd dodged hurriedly. Xiaoyue swiftly moved meters away and said with a smile, “Brother He, there’s no need to hush. I mean, if you want to fight, I have a better candidate to recommend to you.”
She then pointed to Xiao Chen. “If you win a woman, there’s no honor. But this man, Brother Xiao, is the winner of the Immortals League Competition two months ago.”
Xiao Chen was shocked and cursed inwardly. He Chentian’s achievement in martial arts was high, and he could not defeat this guy. Xiaoyue said this not because she was not happy with the issue before but wanted to see Xiao Chen’s techniques and to kill Xiao Chen through this guy’s hand.
Xiao Chen immediately smiled and said, “My cultivation is so low. How can I match a descendant of the Ancient Immortal Clan? Brother He, you’d better fight her. She easily defeated three of your members just now.”
Xiaoyue smiled and said, “You are wrong. Just now, you told the essence of what I have learned for my life. You really hide your strength very well.”
He Chentian repeatedly looked at the two people, considering which one to fight. Finally, his eyes fell on Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen cursed inwardly that this guy was so dumb. Couldn’t he tell that the woman is using him to kill someone? Xiao Chen said hurriedly, “Brother He, have you considered it thoroughly? I am no one, but Master Xiaoyue ranks the 10th on the Heaven List!”
He Chentian’s eyes fell on Xiaoyue again. She smiled, “Brother Xiao is too humble. Back then, you defeated the 12th on the Heaven List with only three zither sound. How can you be no one?”
Seeing the two recommending each other, some people could tell that Xiaoyue was forcing Xiao Chen to fight because she had no reason to be afraid of a martial artist. People were also looking forward to seeing the true strength of this mysterious youth who recently made his name.
