Chapter 217 – Deceiving Too Much

If outside of the four great sects, a “fifth sect” must be chosen, then the renowned Heavenly Lance Thunderfire Fort in the northern part of Sebei was undoubtedly one of the most qualified sects. The two great skills of the Sky Gun Thunder Fire Fort are the “Sky Gun” and the “Thunder Fire”. This time, the Heavenly Lance Thunder Fire Fort also lived up to its reputation, a total of two disciples entered the thirty-two position battle, and the two disciples of the Xuan Li, are as high as the spirit Xuan realm level 8, the overall strength is much better than the previous qualifying battle, in all the participating clans, only slightly inferior to the four major clans.

The first opponent of the thirty-two battle is the four great sects, wood Xiongyi instinctive heart a tight, but see is only sixteen years old, XuanLi also only spirit XuanLi realm level six Ling Jie, immediately and greatly relaxed breath, cozy smile: “Hey, this Ling Jie is obviously just for the next qualifying battle to do training preparation, this one, I’m sure to win. ”

“It’s better to be careful, the strength of a Heavenly Sword Villa disciple should never be judged by the strength of Xuan Force alone.” Mu Xiongyan, who had also killed his way into the top thirty-two, said in a low voice.

“Haha! Big brother don’t worry, if I can’t even defeat a Spirit Xuan Realm Level 6 little waif, I might as well stab myself to death with a shot …… I’m going!”

Mu Xiongyi bellowed, leaping onto the Sword Discussion Stage, his thick right arm flung out, and a nine foot long bronze lance swung out, pointing straight at Ling Jie: “Northern Sebei Heavenly Pistol Thunder Flame Fortress Mu Xiongyi, please teach me!”

“Good to hear.” Ling Jie was completely devoid of the nervous demeanor of facing a strong enemy and answered playfully before slowly taking out his weapon, the Air Breaking Sword. This sword was a high-grade Earthly Xuan Weapon that he had just taken in at last month’s Imperial Sword Stage, and although it could not be compared to the incomparably rare Heavenly Xuan Sword, amongst the Earthly Xuan Swords, it was definitely a superior product with an incomparably astonishing power.

“Elder Ling, you may begin.” Ling Jie said.

“Good!” Ling Wulin nodded, “Heavenly Sword Villa disciple Ling Jie – versus – Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fort Wood Xiongyi, the match begins!”

Mu Xiongyi was the first to strike, without seeing any storing up of energy movements, he directly shot a gun. With the whistling sound of the air, the tip of the gun was like a poisonous snake spitting out its mail, pushing straight for Ling Jie’s throat. Ling Jie’s eyes narrowed, broken air sword stabbed out, head-on to meet the long gun, only to hear a burst of crackling Xuan Li collision sound, the sword shadow and the gun in just a few breaths of time even collided dozens of times, ear-shattering sound like thunder and lightning.

The sword is like a fierce tiger, the gun is like a poisonous dragon, the fight between the dragon and the tiger intensifies, in the blink of an eye there have been hundreds of collisions in the past, in a stalemate it seems that no one can do anything to anyone.

“This Ling Jie is really marvelous, surprisingly able to hold a stalemate for so long with an opponent that is two levels higher than him without losing the wind.” Cang Yue couldn’t help but marvel in admiration.

Yun Che’s gaze moved away from the sword discussion stage and said with certainty, “Senior sister, you’ve said it backwards, I should say that Mu Xiongyi is marvelous, to actually be able to walk under Ling Jie for so many swords, but the key to this is that Ling Jie is letting off some steam, or else he would have been defeated a long time ago.”

“Huh??” Cang Yue blinked her beautiful eyes, her face full of surprise.

Yun Che had fought with Ling Jie, and although it was only a brief three swords, it was enough for him to roughly figure out where Ling Jie’s true strength was. He slowly said, ”The Heavenly Sword Villa’s sword is strong in ‘sword intent’ rather than ‘sword power’ that is purely driven by Xuan Force, and right now, with just his sword power, Ling Jie is on par with Mu Xiongyi, whose Xuan Force is two levels higher than his! …… If Ling Jie’s sword intent is fully utilized, Mu Xiongyi will quickly fall.”

Yun Che’s words were quickly realized, after hundreds of collisions between the sword and the gun, Ling Jie seemed to have lost his patience, and with a slight change in his eyes, the shadow of the sword he wielded suddenly became erratic, and in the end, the sword’s shadow was almost completely gone, and could only vaguely be captured as a wisp of a tiny and erratic residual shadow.

Such changes, outsiders will only look surprised, but Ling Jie opposite the wood Xiongyi seems to feel his opponent suddenly changed, his every gun are swung out with all his might, the sound of the gun whistling, but and Ling Jie’s sword collision together, but there is no previous ear-splitting sound of the impact, instead, only a slight “ding” sound, and then he poured in the body of the gun! The power he poured into the gun body was like a mud cow into the sea, disappeared without defense, the empty feeling made him extremely uncomfortable. The most amazing, is his eyes, actually has not captured the existence of Ling Jie sword shadow, even the sound of the sword whistle has completely disappeared, as if Ling Jie hands of the sword has strangely disappeared.

Wood Xiongyi although shocked not chaotic, directly no longer care about Ling Jie’s sword shadow, reserved XuanLi all release, the gun once again become fierce, nine-foot long gun such as an angry dragon, meandering soaring, momentum like a rainbow.

But out of his expectation, under his several times stronger gun momentum, Ling Jie was not forced back, only to see his wrist slightly picking, the air-breaking sword was like a spiritual snake that would bend, through the raging storm of power, through the layers of gun shadows, stabbing straight at Mu Xiongyi.

Giggling …… giggling ……

Mu Xiongyi’s Xuan Li defense was easily torn apart, and as the sharp pain came, in front of his chest, there were already two more wounds that were deep enough to be seen in the bone …… And Mu Xiongyi didn’t even notice at all when Ling Jie’s sword had approached his chest.

Wood Xiongyi heart was shocked, roared, the long spear a sweeping, will Ling Jie far forced away, he himself also high backward leap, force through the right arm, violently thrown forward, the long spear immediately turned into a swift as a lightning meteor, with let a person frightening spatial ripples, flew towards Ling Jie.

“It’s …… the Heavenly Lance Thunderfire Fort’s stance …… Heavenly Prime’s Lance!”

Across a distance of tens of feet, people could clearly feel the amazing power of this shot. If one was struck by this shot, even if they were at the peak of the Spirit Xuan Realm, they would probably lose half of their life.

Ling Jie quickly retreated, but instead of dodging away with all his might, he pointed his sword at the flying lance amidst countless people’s cries of shock ……

Ding!

There was no violent collision sound, and when the air-breaking sword collided with the lance, there was only a buzz so small that it was nearly inaudible.

“What a ‘sticky’ technique!” Ling Yuefeng nodded his head in admiration, a rare look of satisfaction on his face.

“Not only is Little Jie’s talent far superior to mine, his vigor is also quite extraordinary, I would never have dared to do this when I was Little Jie’s age.” Ling Yun also smiled.

The monstrous sword intent surged up like a flood, firmly adsorbing the lance that carried the violent Xuan Force, and then, the air-breaking sword drove the lance to draw a huge arc in front of Ling Jie’s body, and the direction of the tip of this “Heaven’s Prime Lance” immediately flipped, shooting towards the already dazed Mu Xiongyi.

Bang ！！！！

Sword discussion platform debris flying, the long gun ruthlessly nailed in wood Xiongyi’s feet, the entire body of the gun completely did not enter the platform under the surface, bring up a foot several feet long cracks.

Wood Xiongyi retreated two steps, sat on the ground, cold sweat on his forehead. If the direction of the shot just now had been slightly more forward, his body, at this time, already had one more transparent hole.

“I …… I admit defeat.” Wood Xiongyi’s wariness was all gone, his chest heaved and he said with trepidation.

“Hehehe, admit defeat.” Ling Jie retracted his sword and said proudly.

“Heavenly Sword Villa’s Ling Jie wins and enters tomorrow’s sixteen position battle!”

Many people were surprised by this result, while many more took it for granted. Yun Che rested his chin in his hand and said to himself in a low voice, “The same four great clans, and the same Xuan Force level, the difference in strength is actually so great …… worthy of the Heavenly Sword Villa.”

What he was talking about was naturally Xiao Nan of the Xiao Sect and Ling Jie of the Heavenly Sword Villa. Both of them were at the sixth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, but the gap in strength wasn’t generally large.

The thirty-two battles continued, and in one morning, the matches for one group were all completed. In the afternoon, the second group’s matches began, and comparatively speaking, the second group’s matches were much more intense and exciting than the first group’s, as the overall strength of the second group was far superior to the first group.

By the evening, the thirty-two positional battles were all over. The sixteen people entering tomorrow’s elimination round were all decided. Among the four great sects, aside from Xiao Nan, who had been defeated by Yun Che, the other eleven people had all entered the top sixteen, accounting for two-thirds of the top sixteen.

The tournament schedule for tomorrow’s sixteen battles was also displayed on the Xuan Stone in the center of the Sword Discussion Stage after the end of the tournament.

Yun Che’s opponent for tomorrow was the same as Ling Jie’s opponent for today, the Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fortress – Mu Xiongyan from the northern part of Sebei.

“As you saw in today’s match, Mu Xiongyan’s specialty is completely different from Mu Xiongyi’s, Mu Xiongyi cultivates the ‘Heavenly Lance’ while Mu Xiongyan cultivates the ‘Thunder Flame’, the Thunder Flame is much more difficult to cultivate than the Heavenly Lance, but its power is far superior to the Heavenly Lance. The qualifying battle could use any weapon, including firearms! Wood Xiongyan, who is burdened with Thunder Flame, has dozens of different firearms hidden in his body, which are endless, making it impossible for people to defend against them …… Be sure to be careful tomorrow!”

In today’s match, Yun Che had once again won big, undoubtedly causing Qin Wuyou to be overjoyed. However, seeing that tomorrow’s opponent was actually Mu Xiongyan, he couldn’t help but worry …… Compared to Mu Xiongyan, he instead hoped that his opponent would be someone from the four great sects. Because this wood Xiongyan’s attacking means, is really too terrible, a little carelessness, will fall into a cripple. In case it really came to that, this star that brought a burning light to the Cangfeng Xuanfu would also dim.

“Don’t worry Mistress Qin, I won’t be injured that easily. Moreover,” his eyes flashed and he smiled, “Tomorrow, I will still win for you!”

“Hehe, good!!!” Qin Wuyou laughed. Without Yun Che having gone through a single match, he realized once again that he had still underestimated Yun Che. The current him no longer thought that Yun Che was doomed to stop when he got here, but instead, he was filled with hope and anticipation, wanting to watch just how far he could go …… if he could still enter the top eight …… or even, tear apart the four great sects’ centuries old ” monopoly”, with the light that shocked the world to enter the quarterfinals!

After the match, when the four members of the Cang Feng Xuanfu returned to the courtyard, there were already three people waiting for them in the courtyard, to be precise, they were waiting for Yun Che alone.

Among the three people, one was middle-aged with an imposing aura, while the other two youths had both seen each other in today’s arena, one was Mu Xiongyi who had been defeated by Ling Jie, and the other was Mu Xiongyan who had defeated his opponent and entered tomorrow’s sixteen position battle, and who would also be Yun Che’s opponent tomorrow.

Seeing Yun Che, that middle-aged man directly walked over with large strides and said to Yun Che, “I am the current Fort Master of Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fort, Mu Tianbei, and I take the liberty of intruding because I have a big matter to discuss with Yun Xiannian.”

Wood Tianbei was rough looking, and his demeanor carried a deep arrogance, after all, in the area of Northern Sebei, Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fort was the unquestionable overlord, and as the Fort Master, he could be said to be overshadowing the heavens there, and doing everything from one hand to the other. Within the entire Cangfeng Empire, the prevalence of Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fort’s statement was also basically second only to the four great sects.

He came up and asked Yun Che straight out, not even glancing at Qin Wouxian beside him, or even Princess Cang Yue, and could be described as arrogantly lawless. Qin Wuhuang frowned, but did not speak. Yun Che stepped forward and said, “So it’s the famous Mu Fort Master, I wonder what is it that Mu Fort Master wants to discuss with the late generation?”

“It’s very simple,” Mu Tianbei looked straight at Yun Che, “After watching Yun Xian Nephew’s performance in the Ranking Battle these days, my heart was filled with admiration. With such talent and strength, Yun Xian Nephew, even the disciples of the four great sects don’t have many to compare to, staying in the district’s Cangfeng Xuanfu is simply burying a bright pearl, so how about joining my Heavenly Pistol Thunderfire Fortress?”

The moment these words came out, Qin Wuhuang couldn’t help but burst into a rage even if he was well-cultivated. Digging a foot in the wall is also even if, but this wood Tian Bei, even in front of him, in front of Princess Cang Yue’s face digging a foot in the wall, but also do not hide the contempt for Cang Feng Xuan Fu, simply completely do not put the Cang Feng Xuan Fu and the royal family in the eyes, simply bully too much.
