Chapter 577: 574: Showcasing Magic Powers_1
Not only was this sword fast, but its power was also surprisingly strong. In a flash, Huo Ming, a genius from Zhenwu Main City at the Fifth Layer of the Origin Martial Realm, had already been knocked unconscious. Although Huo Ming was not the top genius of Zhenwu Main City, he was not much inferior to the geniuses of other forces.
Even so, defeated by one sword.
This gap in strength was so wide that it was impossible to discern the true ability of the Green Lotus Saintess.
Now, the Saintess retracts her sword, abruptly turns around, simply and neatly, leaving behind a lonely, cold and indifferent figure.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and without a doubt, the most uncomfortable expression belonged to Hao Yun, the head of Zhenwu Main City.
Hao Yun waved his hand: “Bring Huo Ming up, this disgraceful, poorly-trained person who dares to challenge!”
“Yes!”
All of this was seen by everyone, including Fu Longyue.
Fu Longyue’s expression was not very good either. Originally, he wanted the top genius of the Black Dragon Sect to defeat his opponent with a swift and decisive posture to deter others. But who would have thought that the Saintess would seize the opportunity? The key point was that the young woman’s formidable strength made him feel somewhat unable to see through her.
At least he could see that she didn’t go all out just now.
“The Green Lotus Saintess didn’t even reveal her cultivation level when she made her move just now.”
“Did any of you see her cultivation level?”
“Neither did I!”
Everyone was discussing, while Yang Chen was watching everything closely.
“Such a powerful sword,” Yang Chen thought in surprise. Although he was quite experienced, he found it difficult to see through this sword. He only knew that the Green Lotus Saintess was very powerful.
Now, the sword of the Green Lotus Saintess caused quite a stir. The entire scene was silent for a while, and no one dared to come out and challenge someone else.
Seeing that no one was coming out to challenge, Fu Longyue, the Sect Leader of the Black Dragon Sect, could hardly restrain himself. He glanced at the Black Scorpion Envoy beside him.
“Black Scorpion Envoy, I remember you have a disciple whose strength is not top-notch but not too bad either. Let him come out and play for a while, and establish prestige for our Black Dragon Sect!” Fu Longyue said calmly.
That Black Scorpion Envoy was none other than the one who had almost killed Yang Chen a few days ago. Now, hearing Fu Longyue’s words, he was overjoyed, knowing that it was time for his disciple to show off. He hurriedly said, “Xiao Wei, did you hear? The Sect Leader himself is speaking; hurry up and make a contribution to our sect!”
“Yes, Sect Leader.” Xiao Wei was also filled with excitement and joy.
The warm-up matches usually featured the second-tier talents of the various sects and forces. For a major power like the Black Dragon Sect, it was absolutely impossible to easily send out their top talents to challenge others.
They preferred to use their second-tier talents to challenge the top talents of other forces. For example, Huo Ming from Zhenwu Main City challenged the Green Lotus Saintess. Although he didn’t find out anything in the end, he did gain some clues.
Fu Longyue had the same idea, but the difference was that their second-tier talents from Beishan Main City were much stronger than those of Zhenwu Main City.
Xiao Wei was indeed a second-tier talent, close to being a first-tier one.
At this moment, as Xiao Wei stepped onto the high platform, he cupped his hands and said, “I, the chief disciple of the Black Dragon Sect’s Black Scorpion Envoy, dare to challenge junior brother Ming Long from Heiyun Main City!”
“The climax is here.”
“This is getting interesting.”
“Is Beishan Main City finally going to establish its prestige? They aimed straight at Heiyun Main City, which is one of the three great forces besides the Black Dragon Sect.”
“Hehe, we just need to sit back and enjoy the show!”
Yang Chen, on the other hand, had different thoughts.
Others were looking for excitement, but he was pondering a few words in his mind.
“A high disciple of the Black Scorpion Envoy?” Yang Chen’s expression turned cold.
He wasn’t one to hold grudges, but if someone tried to kill him, he would never let it go. Last time, the Black Scorpion Envoy had almost taken his life, and he would be lying if he said he didn’t want revenge. However, with the Black Scorpion Envoy’s cultivation in the Earth Martial Realm, revenge was not easy.
But now, the man had a disciple.
That being the case, that made things easier.
He wasn’t in a hurry and decided to observe the strength of this Xiao Wei in secret first.
…
At the same time, Ming Long from Heiyun Main City also stepped forward after hearing the challenge.
“Ming Long, the third-ranked genius of Heiyun Main City, although he is ranked third, is still a top-notch genius. He is one of the representatives of Heiyun Main City, while this Xiao Wei is nothing more than a second-rate talent of the Black Dragon Sect, not even representing the Black Dragon Sect. His appetite is so wild!”
“The Black Dragon Sect’s appetite has always been like this, don’t you know?”
“The Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses can’t be measured by ordinary standards.”
Xiao Wei now looked at Ming Long and politely said, “Brother Ming Long!”
“Brother Xiao Wei!”
The two exchanged pleasantries hypocritically, and in the next moment, their true colors were revealed.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, their conversation stopped abruptly, Xiao Wei made the first move, and Ming Long followed with a counterattack.
“Xiao Wei is using the Black Dragon Sect’s Reincarnation Vajra Sutra!”
“Ming Long is using Heiyun Main City’s Black Cloud Technique!”
“I wonder who will come out on top.”
Yang Chen watched everything carefully and made some judgments in his heart.
First of all, both Xiao Wei and Ming Long had reached the Sixth Level of the Origin Martial Realm.
Moreover, he had to admit that the Reincarnation Vajra Sutra was indeed incredibly powerful. It was an evolved version of the Jin Gang Sutra used by Zhang Youcai who he had faced some days ago. This evolution was not trivial. Not only did it increase its power, but its defense also became rock-solid as well.
What Ming Long of Heiyun Main City was using – the Black Cloud Technique – was a soft and Yin-based move. Although it had considerable power and could hold its ground against Xiao Wei, the crux of the matter was that the Black Cloud Technique couldn’t break through the Reincarnation Vajra Sutra used by Xiao Wei.
Being unable to breach the defense, no matter how hard Ming Long tried, it was useless. This was the shameless aspect of the Reincarnation Vajra Sutra.
“Xiao Wei has picked a good opponent. It seems Ming Long is more likely to lose. This may not matter at first, but as the fight goes on, Ming Long will become more and more strained,” muttered Yang Chen to himself.
It turned out just as he had thought.
At first, Ming Long and Xiao Wei were evenly matched.
However, as the fight dragged on, Ming Long’s situation became increasingly unfavorable.
