Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Below the Holy Son

The thirteenth round of the competition continued.

After Joshua Long voluntarily conceded and after a few somewhat dull matches,

finally, another much-anticipated duel began.

”Qin Bi Xue versus Bai Qianjiao!”

Qin Bi Xue had only been defeated by Ji Mingkong and had not tasted defeat against any other opponents.

He had even beaten the second-ranked Young Master Mo Wushang from the previous competition.

As for Bai Qianjiao, she remained unbeaten so far, and her low profile did not mean she was weak. After defeating one formidable opponent after another, her reputation had also peaked.

Many people even hoped that Bai Qianjiao could defeat Ji Mingkong and challenge his position as the first.

So, this battle had become especially crucial.

If Bai Qianjiao won against Qin Bi Xue, there would still be hope.

If she lost, then Ling Xiao would be the only one left with a possibility of challenging Ji Mingkong.

”Massacre from All Sides!”

”Blood Battle Eight Directions!”

”Ambush from All Sides!”

”Blood Thunder Frenzied Dance!”

The match had just begun, and Qin Bi Xue launched an extremely fierce attack on Bai Qianjiao.

This was his consistent way of fighting, no matter who the opponent was.

Terrible blood light danced wildly through the sky.

Blood-red thunders kept falling on the Martial Arts Platform, and just after it had been repaired at the end of the twelfth round, it cracked open once more.

If it had been anyone other than Ji Mingkong, facing Qin Bi Xue’s crazy and powerful attack, they might have already been utterly defeated.

However, Bai Qianjiao was quite special.

The Jade Water Domain she cultivated was very peculiar, and coupled with her ability to clearly discern her opponent’s weaknesses, she always managed to avoid Qin Bi Xue’s killing moves at the most critical moments, significantly reducing the power of Qin Bi Xue’s attacks.

Additionally, the perpetual calm expression on her face irritated Qin Bi Xue quite a bit.

But annoyance aside, defeating Bai Qianjiao was definitely not an easy task.

Looking up from below the Martial Arts Platform,

the sky full of blood light and shadow had almost entirely occupied the platform, with just a small patch of verdant water domain at the center, which steadfastly shielded Bai Qianjiao in her undefeated stance.

It was clear to everyone that Bai Qianjiao was at a disadvantage.

However, if Qin Bi Xue couldn’t take down Bai Qianjiao in a short period, and if the match dragged on, the situation would inevitably reverse, and Qin Bi Xue would be the loser.

Qin Bi Xue was obviously aware of this, and without holding back, he directly transformed into his Blood Blade form.

He attacked with his strongest moves, aiming to break open Bai Qianjiao’s Jade Water Domain.

Boom!

Under the continuous powerful attacks of Qin Bi Xue, Bai Qianjiao only had a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

”Good! Very good, aside from the Holy Son, you’re the strongest opponent I’ve encountered. But today, I must defeat you!”

Hum!

At that moment, Qin Bi Xue’s aura surged once more.

”What! He still had hidden strength?”

Mo Wushang, who had been defeated by Qin Bi Xue previously, had a very ugly look on his face.

He had thought he had pushed Qin Bi Xue to unveil all his strength, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case, which was a serious blow to his pride.

”Hahaha, Mo Wushang, don’t be distressed. It’s just that I happened to have a breakthrough after fighting with you, First Line Heaven Realm! This feeling is really wonderful! Bai Qianjiao, you are strong, but unfortunately for you, this isn’t your lucky day, concede to me!”

A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Bai Qianjiao’s mouth.

It seemed she wasn’t emotionless, she just hadn’t faced a real challenge yet.

Crash!

Bai Qianjiao was slashed by Qin Bi Xue and knocked off the Martial Arts Platform.

Defeated!

”Qin Bi Xue grows stronger with each battle. Even Bai Qianjiao is no match for him. Could he possibly become the second most powerful below the Holy Son?”

”Who knows? Let’s keep watching. Ling Xiao might have something hidden up his sleeve.”

”That’s the only way to think about it.”

...

”Hong Li versus Liu Taiyin!”

In this battle, many people supported Hong Li, because they all felt that her strength had been overestimated.

After consecutive losses to Bai Qianjiao and the Fire Demon Venerable, Hong Li’s strength was seriously in doubt.

However, Hong Li’s performance took them by surprise.

Facing Liu Taiyin, Hong Li no longer displayed the previous anxiety and recklessness but instead possessed a semblance of Bai Qianjiao.

Though this semblance was still immature, she ultimately defeated Liu Taiyin after twenty moves.

”How do I get the feeling that Hong Li has suddenly grown?”

”Indeed, but it’s a pity it’s too late, isn’t it? She lost too much earlier; it will be hard for her to take first place.”

”That’s not necessarily true. The points in this battle of elites are different from regular points. They are augmented based on the amount of fortune accrued. As long as she defeats a few more powerful opponents and her fortune increases, she’ll get a larger multiplied score, which will be to her advantage.”

As Hong Li stepped down from the Martial Arts Platform, she approached the injured Bai Qianjiao: ”Senior sister, I finally understand what you said.”

”Understanding is good. You are Hong Li. After the Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate, you will make everyone take a second look! The fate of the Jade Water Divine Palace rests on you.”

Bai Qianjiao was very clear: once Hong Li had her realization, she would become terrifyingly powerful.

After the battle between Hong Li and Liu Taiyin, a few more bouts took place.

Mo Wushang easily triumphed over his opponent, avoiding a continuation of his losing streak.

No one would look down on him. After all, the two opponents he lost to were Ji Mingkong and Qin Bi Xue, currently the most sought-after figures.

In another match, Ling Xiao faced Lan Yu’er, who conceded voluntarily.

She didn’t have Joshua Long’s combative nature. Knowing full well the prowess of Ling Xiao, why should she waste her strength needlessly?

After all, she still hoped to make it to the top six, so conserving her energy and strength was essential.

...

After thirteen rounds, the fourteenth round quickly commenced.

This round had just begun when Ling Xiao faced a formidable foe, which incited cheers throughout the arena.

Because his opponent was Mo Wushang!

Mo Wushang had only lost to Qin Bi Xue and Ji Mingkong. Whether Ling Xiao could defeat Mo Wushang would determine if this dark horse could continue his miracle run.

No one would underestimate Ling Xiao.

And certainly, no one would underestimate Mo Wushang.

After all, Mo Wushang’s Devil’s Eye was fearsome, able not only to easily penetrate the weaknesses of his opponents but also endowed with many other special abilities.

What’s more, many had heard rumors that Ling Xiao might have killed Mo Wushang’s kinsman, Ya Qian Xue, during the preliminaries.

This made Mo Wushang harbor profound hatred towards Ling Xiao.

Faced with Ling Xiao, perhaps Mo Wushang could unleash even greater strength.

But Ling Xiao was no pushover—those who underestimated him had already fallen.

This included Hong Sanwei and Jian Wuji, two scions of yesteryear.

On the Martial Arts Platform.

Ling Xiao and Mo Wushang stood a hundred meters apart, their expressions utterly different.

Ling Xiao was still the picture of calm and composure.

While Mo Wushang seemed to be grinding his teeth with rage.

Honestly, of all his opponents, Ling Xiao feared Mo Wushang the least.

In terms of Soul Power’s might, Mo Wushang wasn’t even worthy to carry his shoes.

It was precisely for this reason that he remained so composed.

If he had been facing Ji Mingkong, perhaps he might have shown a more serious expression, but right now, there was no need.
