Chapter 458: Flying Assassination Strike

Translator: SwammpedEditor: Hitesh_

As far as everybody was concerned, Leng Zhuo, who didn't dare challenge Ye Chen, ought to have an undeserved reputation, and was unworthy of his title 'Life Seizer”. He didn't deserve to be called one of the three great sword artists of the Southern Region. However, they were clearly wrong, as his strength turned out to be beyond their imagination.

Four opponents, all of which were reputed sword artists, suffered a crushing defeat in his hands.

The first was Lu Daoxuan: he only managed to receive one strike, because by the second strike, Leng Zhuo' sword was already at his neck.

The second sword artist was Feng Yanrou, who also managed to receive only one strike. It was not because her Snow Ice Sword Domain wasn't powerful enough, but because she couldn't even use it. The opponent's sword was like a ghost, slipping past her defense before she even realized it. It was frighteningly quick.

The third opponent was the second rank of Fire Pool Region, Serene Fire Sword Artist. Even though he was much stronger than the above two, in the end, he only sustained three strikes. The first strike was indecisive, the second parted his sword open, and the third broke his protective Zhen Yuan. By the fourth strike, there was already a sword on his shoulder. It happened so quickly that the spectators couldn't even begin to get excited.

The fourth opponent was none other than Misty Snow Region's number one, Ling Hanye, titled Misty Snow Sword Artist. Despite the title, his strength was more or less the same as Red Water Little Daoist, a bit stronger at most. Therefore, he was defeated as well; although, for better or worse, he survived seven strikes.

At this point, everybody realized that it wasn't that Leng Zhuo wasn't strong, but Ye Chen was too strong. He wouldn't be the latter's opponent even if he went up.

”What a frighteningly swift sword!” Mo Lingfeng muttered.

Ye Chen said, ”If Black Sword Artist pursued the destructive sword dao, Leng Zhuo's style is a one-shot-kill. The two styles are different… But to some extent, Leng Zhuo is much more frightening.”

”En!”

Mo Lingfeng nodded his head. He was not stupid; Leng Zhuo seemed like an assassin sword artist. Therefore, those below him in strength would be much more unwilling to confront him.

In the consecutive matches, Bing Ling, Mo Yan, Gu Youyun, as well as Qian Yun went up to challenge other young elites. Bing Ling's strength was only a bit inferior to Li Daoxuan, causing many people to involuntarily call South Rudra Region abnormal. Just Ye Chen and Li Daoxuan were not enough, and now, this Bing Ling had appeared. Perhaps, with such a lineup, even though South Rudra Region couldn't compare with the big three regions, or the other regions such as Misty Snow Region in terms of overall strength, it was much better than Slashing Mountain Region. However, it should be considered that in the last Tea Gathering, South Rudra Region was simply a joke. Amongst several hundred participants, there was only Sikong Sheng from their side. Nobody could have imagined that just in the span of two years, it would undergo such huge changes that powerful characters would emerge one after other.

Bing Ling shined in her glory, but Mo Yan, on the other hand, was overshadowed completely. Of course, he was still an amazing and rare genius in South Rudra Region; however, this was the entire Southern Sector. The strength he displayed didn't seem much different from other geniuses here.

As for Gu Youyun and Qian Yun, although they didn't have the ability to make their mark here, the improvements they had made in these past years could not be ignored. Going by their age, it would be certain that they would certainly be included in the core of South Rudra Region for the next Martial Tea Gathering.

”Sheesh, a beauty with outstanding disposition!”

”Not only has South Rudra Region shed its skin, even their beauties are exceptional. Don't tell me the good old heavens have begun to favor South Rudra Region and that's why all the good things are accumulating there?”

”She is called Murong Qingcheng! Just as beautiful as her name!”

As Murong Qingcheng went up on the stage, the majority of young elites were stunned, and even some of the women that flaunted their beauty felt sour inwardly.

Murong Qingcheng's opponent was not some ordinary genius, but the number three of Snow Iron Region. Yet, the result was simply appalling.

The latter simply had no power to retaliate, and had to ultimately admit defeat.

The second opponent was much stronger- rank four of Floating Light Region, which was the Edict Prince's home region and also known as one of the three most powerful regions of the Southern Sector. Being ranked fourth there was possibly at par with the second rank of regions like Misty Snow. However, he was still not Murong Qingcheng's opponent.

”How is this possible? What happened in South Rudra Region? There was a cold beauty like Bing Ling before, and now this Murong Qingcheng seems even stronger.”

”Honestly, based on the top five strongest individuals, South Rudra is number one after the big three regions. Too frightening!”

Since some time, South Rudra Region had become the core of people's discussions without stopping.

”Hehe, interesting! I can't help it.”

In the area of Thunder Region, sitting beside Beast Tamer Mo Xiang was Young Lord Yin Zhongchi. He stood up and went up the stage with a huge grin.

”What? Yin Zhongchi is going to fight Murong Qingcheng?”

Yin Zhongchi had a huge fame in Thunder Region. In the last Martial Gathering, he was second only to Mo Xiang, and ranked third in the Thunder Region. At that time, Mo Xiang hadn't battled him. Precisely speaking, it was quite possible that the two were almost at par. Even if Mo Xiang turned out to be stronger, it would only be a slight difference. Both of them had the strength to be placed in the top ten of the entire Southern Region.

”Yin Zongchi… one of the ten false dragons.” Edict Prince thought out loud.

The woman called You Xin shook her head, ”He'll lose.”

”Eh?”

The Edict Prince was rather surprised. If someone else had said these words, he would have pondered about it. However, since these words came from You Xin's mouth, he couldn't help but believe in them, even though he knew blind trust was not a good thing.

You Xin's strength was inferior to his, but he knew that she had a frightening eye and profound insight.

As Spirit Flicker School's young lord and grandson of the Spirit Flicker Leader, Yin Zhongchi was undoubtedly strong, and his fame was based on his ghost-like speed. Once his speed unfolded, apart from the Thunder Princess and the other two, anybody would feel a headache.

Shua!

Shua!

Shua!

A dark yellow light flickered as Yin Zhongchi disappeared from everybody's sight.

”Light Chop!”

Suddenly appearing behind Murong Qingcheng, Yin Zhongchi waved his arm, emitting a several feet long and thin arc of light that swiftly chopped at her.
