Chapter 224 – Xia Qing Yue vs Xiao Maniac Lei

“The one who took the initiative to give up wasn’t Ling Jie, it was actually Ling Feiyu…… “Yun Che was also surprised for a while. In the previous sparring match, Ling Feiyu had displayed an incomparably astonishing strength, the strongest people in this group were originally far fewer than the second group, and Ling Feiyu was recognized as the strongest amongst the group, whether it was the thirty-two battles or the sixteen position battles, he had easily defeated his opponents within five rounds. This battle against Ling Jie, in anyone’s opinion, it should be Ling Jie’s defeat, or Ling Jie’s initiative to give up, no one would have thought that the one who took the initiative to admit defeat was Ling Feiyu!

“So, Senior Brother Yun’s opponent tomorrow is Ling Jie?” This result, on the contrary, made Cang Yue subconsciously take a small sigh of relief, after all, how could the Spirit Xuan Realm Level 6 sound much less threatening than the Spirit Xuan Realm Level 9?

“Could it be because Ling Jie is the son of the Zhuang Master, and Ling Feiyu didn’t dare to defeat him on stage, so he took the initiative to admit defeat?” Xia Yuanba scratched his head and asked in confusion.

“No! If Heavenly Sword Villa was such a pompous place, it wouldn’t have become the number one force in the Cangfeng Empire.” Yun Che slightly sank his brows and began to re-examine Ling Jie who had walked off the sword discussion stage with a smile, “There is only one possibility, and that is that Ling Jie’s strength, is going to be superior to Ling Feiyu, and it is by far superior to …… It seems that tomorrow, there is going to be a bitter battle.”

His line of sight turned to where the Heavenly Sword Villa was seated, and he found that Ling Yuefeng and Ling Yun both had a calm demeanor, and didn’t show the slightest bit of surprise at the result.

The second match ended with a surprising speed and result, and the third match followed immediately after, with the opposing sides being the Heavenly Sword Villa’s Ling Yun, and the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s Shui Wushuang.

This was a duel between the core disciples of the Heavenly Sword Villa and the core disciples of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, and such a duel, in the past, had appeared in the final battle, but because of the average strength imbalance caused by this random grouping, it allowed this duel that should have been presented in the final battle to be staged in advance in the eight position battle.

And the speed at which this duel fell was even faster than the second one.

“Wushuang, let’s just give up on this match.” Shui Wushuang was just about to leap onto the Sword Discussion Stage when Chu Yue Li suddenly spoke out.

Shui Wushuang was silent for a moment, but did not resist, and softly said, “Yes.”

“Three years ago, your Senior Sister Mu’s strength was even far superior to the current you, yet she lost miserably to Ling Yun, now that three years have passed, Ling Yun’s strength has taken another great leap, and it is simply impossible for you to be his opponent. As long as he is a little more serious, within five swords, you will be defeated without a trace, since this is the case, it would be better to just give up.”

Letting the “core disciple” in other people’s eyes give up, Chu Yue Li said exceptionally calmly, without showing a trace of unwillingness or lamentation in her beautiful eyes, as if, this was just a decision that didn’t matter at all.

“Yes, senior uncle, disciple understands.” Shui Wushuang nodded slowly before sitting back in his seat.

Shui Wushuang then announced, “Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s Shui Wushuang forfeits the match, and Heavenly Sword Villa’s Ling Yun wins without a fight, and enters tomorrow’s four position battle!”

Although this result had people talking, it did not make them too surprised. After all, Ling Yun’s strength was simply too terrifying, even if Shui Wushuang was the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s core disciple this time around, there was simply no way he could have the strength to fight, and directly giving up was the most sensible choice. But then, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace is only left with the last, but also the lowest XuanLi among the three participating disciples, Xia Qingyue, her opponent, but the XuanLi is better than her Xiao Sect core disciple – Xiao Maniac Lei. If she loses, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace will not be able to compete in the four position battle, and will only be able to rank fourth.

Up to this point in the competition, the only one that had officially taken place was Yun Che’s battle against Burning Jade Cliff, but three of the four people for tomorrow’s Four Position Battle had already been decided, which were the brothers Ling Yun and Ling Jie of the Heavenly Sword Villa, as well as Cangfeng Xuanfu’s Yun Che.

It was no surprise that two people from the Heavenly Sword Villa had entered the top four, but amongst the top four there was one more disciple who was not from one of the four great sects, or from the Cangfeng Royal Family, which could only be in the middle and lower reaches of the qualifying battle, which had made the entire qualifying battle extraordinarily unusual. In the qualifying battle never flash, only the shame of the Cangfeng royal family, but rely on a simply unknown, and only seventeen-year-old disciple, time and again to create people fell into the results of the individual battle into the top four, the Cangfeng royal family in the ranking of the forces in this battle, but also is the bottom of the top three!

As long as one wasn’t blind, they could see clearly that after Yun Che defeated Burning Jade Wall, the always composed Qin Wuhuang was grinning so much that his incisors were even about to fall out.

“The fourth battle of the Eight Battles – Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s Xia Qingyue, versus Xiao Sect’s Xiao Berserk Thunder! Please ask both participants to enter the Sword Argument Stage within thirty breaths, or else they will be considered to have given up their qualifications!!!”

With Ling Wulin’s loud announcement, the flurry of chatter on the sword argument platform stopped and became quiet.

Xia Qingyue and Xiao Berserklei were the last disciples of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace and Xiao Sect respectively, and whichever one lost, their sect would not be in the top four.

“Although Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s Xia Qingyue’s talent is amazing, at only seventeen years old, she is already at the eighth level of the Spiritual Xuan Realm, and the Ling Yun of that year is only one level away, but the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace is, after all, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, and it is not possible to cultivate a true ‘Ling Yun’, and she is too young, with too little qualifications and experience, and her Xuan Power has reached the eighth level of the Spiritual Xuan Realm so quickly, and it is bound to be very unstable. Grade 8, is bound to be very unstable, as long as you don’t make too many careless surprises, you will win this one very easily, but, also, definitely don’t take the enemy lightly. In the previous qualifying battles, I don’t know how many so-called genius disciples planted themselves on the word ‘reckless’, understand?” Xiao Jiantian exhorted Xiao Maniac Lei.

“Third brother, cheer up, the Burning Sky Sect has already lost miserably, as long as you win this one, our overall ranking will be guaranteed to be in the top three, and there is more than a ninety-nine percent chance that we will be ranked in second place, this is a historic breakthrough for our Xiao Sect!” Xiao Crazy Rain patted Xiao Crazy Lei’s shoulder and said with a solemn expression on his face.

“Don’t worry, in this sparring match, I will only win and will never lose! Don’t forget that I haven’t been able to light up my Shocking Dust Sword. If I were to reveal the Shocking Dust Sword, not to mention that Xia Qingyue is only at the eighth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, even if she is at the peak of the tenth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, it is impossible for me to lose.” Xiao Maniac Lei said with confidence.

“Above weapons, we may not necessarily have the advantage.” Xiao Wu Ji sunk his eyebrows and said, “We have the Shocking Dust Sword, but don’t forget that the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace has the ‘Ice Phoenix Qiong Hua Aya’, Shui Wushuang has already helplessly admitted defeat, this match, the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace can’t afford to lose even more than we can, and this Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s Heavenly Xuan Weapon will inevitably be handed over to Xia Qing Yue as well. ”

“Hmph, this is completely redundant worry, ‘Ice Phoenix Qiong Hua Aya’ at least to the ground Xuan realm of Xuan power can be harnessed, even if it comes to Xia Qing Yue’s hands, but also at most to play out thirty percent of the power, and even if it really can play out ten percent of the ability to do so? The same is a heavenly xuan weapon in hand, no matter the seniority and xuan power, Mad Thunder is stronger than Xia Qingyue, can it still lose?” Xiao Thincloud said in a good-natured manner.

For his grandson Xiao Zhen to lose in the hands of Xiao Maniac Lei, Xiao Bo Yun was naturally furious, but with the reputation and honor of the entire Xiao Sect at stake at the moment, he certainly did not wish to see Xiao Maniac Lei lose.

“Everyone, please rest assured, if I lose this battle, I won’t have the face to return to the Xiao Sect.” Xiao Maniac Lei nodded his head once, then leapt up, spanning more than thirty feet in the air, landing on the ground and lightly tapping the ground with his feet, leaping high, once again leaping more than thirty feet, landing steadily in the center of the Sword Argument Stage. Before landing, a long sword had been sheathed in a whistling sound, both the sword’s aura and the person’s aura were incomparably astonishing, attracting bursts of admiration.

“I heard that Xiao Maniac Lei’s talent is no less than his big brother Xiao Berserk Wind and second brother Xiao Berserk Rain, this one, I’m afraid there’s no suspense.”

“So what if his talent is higher, he’s still a concubine, and he’ll at most be an elder in the future.”

“That’s not the same, Burning Broken Soul only has the youngest son, Xiao Crazy Cloud, but Xiao Crazy Cloud’s reputation as a playboy is well known throughout the world, his age is about the same as Xiao Crazy Thunder, and I heard that Burning Broken Soul has consumed an unknown amount of resources on him, but it seems that he hasn’t even arrived at the Spiritual Xuan Realm. If Xiao Zong were to be succeeded by Xiao Manyun in the future, it would probably be completely ruined. It was impossible for the Xiao Sect to do such a stupid thing. The one who will inherit the sect leader in the future must be one of Xiao Maniac Wind, Xiao Maniac Rain, and Xiao Maniac Lei, and I’m afraid that by then there will be another open and shut battle, and perhaps a fratricide will be staged as well ……”

With Xiao Maniac Lei on the stage, the focus of the discussion was not the next match, but rather Xiao Maniac Lei, because in most people’s opinion, the next match would not have too much suspense.

“Retain as much strength as you can, don’t expose too much in case you make tomorrow’s opponent defensive.” Chu Yue Li’s instructions to Xia Qing Yue were only one sentence.

“Yes, master.”

Xia Qingyue bowed, her delicate body turned, and with the delicate movement of her silhouette, she lightly landed in front of Xiao Berserk Lei, her movements and body floating and colorful. A transparent ice sword appeared silently in her hand. The ice sword had almost become the iconic weapon of the disciples of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. The main weapon of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace was also a sword, but their swords were all as ice and released varying degrees of coldness, Chu Yuechan’s sword was like this, and Xia Qingyue’s was likewise like this. It was just that this ice sword of Xia Qingyue’s was not as good as the one that Chu Yuechan had used in her deadly battle against the Twin Jiao Dragons in the Death Wasteland in terms of grade.

“Good!” Ling Wulin nodded his head, then raised his right hand, “The final match of the battle of eight, Xia Qingyue of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, versus Xiao Berserk Thunder of the Xiao Sect, the battle begins!!!”

“My name is Xiao Maniac Lei, so I will come to learn the Ice Cloud Skill of Fairy Xia!” Xiao Maniac Lei smiled, his long sword pointed forward, a layer of rapidly rotating turquoise-green cyclone swirled up and down his body, behind him, an exceptionally overbearing eagle image loomed, and the entire person’s aura was also strong at this moment to a degree that made people marvel.

Ice Cloud Immortal Palace beautiful women gathered, Xia Qingyue although white veil covers the face, but look at her figure and eyes, as well as a little exposed outside the snow muscle, it is enough to judge that this is bound to be an absolutely beautiful young girl with the face of the city. In front of a beautiful woman, a normal man with a bit of strength will be born to show off, if he can win the other party’s favor or even worship, then naturally he can substantially satisfy his vanity.

Xia Qingyue’s action, on the other hand, is much sharper than his, a flat sword stabbed at him, and at the tip of the ice sword, an ice lotus bloomed magnificently.
