Chapter 214: You All Go Together!

Xiao Yang actually didn’t agree to team up with Li Xingyao.

This left Jiang Qitian quite annoyed.

You see, if Xiao Yang teamed up with Li Xingyao to clear the field, they could at least secure second place in the Gengzi Grand Tournament, thus replacing Guiyuan Martial Sect and becoming the second sect of the Northern Border.

The Qingyang Sword Sect would then receive countless cultivation resources.

But Xiao Yang flat out refused.

This surprised countless people.

Ye Feiyang and the others were also taken aback.

If Xiao Yang teamed up with Li Xingyao, there would be no chance for them to get first or second place in the tournament.

“Everyone heard that, the Qingyang Sword Sect and the Fuyiao Sword Sect want to clear the field!”

Ye Feiyang shouted at the crowd.

“Hey, which eye of yours saw our senior brother trying to clear the field?” Song Qiang yelled back at Ye Feiyang.

“Yeah, our Holy Son didn’t agree to partner up, okay?!” Lin Wangchuan shouted angrily.

“Ye Feiyang, come on, you’re the young master of the Beast Control Manor, can you not be so lowly?” Nie Ruhua shouted loudly.

“Now is the best chance to bring down the Fuyiao Sword Sect from their top position in the Northern Border! Let’s not miss this opportunity. If we join forces, we can definitely defeat Li Xingyao!” Ye Feiyang said excitedly.

At his words, the crowd couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Besides, Li Xingyao didn’t even regard them as a threat.

They were the strongest of the younger generation in their respective sects; when had they ever been looked down upon like this?

Talent comes with pride.

“Just a bunch of country bumpkins!” Li Xingyao looked at Ye Feiyang with indifference.

“Everyone, listen! She doesn’t even take us seriously!” Ye Feiyang continued to fan the flames.

“Brother Ye is right. Let’s team up to defeat Li Xingyao and then settle our own scores,” Chu Guixi stepped forward.

Upon hearing that Li Xingyao regarded them as mere bumpkins, the crowd was both surprised and furious.

Ye Feiyang and Chu Guixi did have a point.

Li Xingyao was underestimating them way too much.

“So what if I don’t take you seriously?” Li Xingyao replied, exuding confidence.

Since she debuted, she had been unstoppable. Internally at the Fuyiao Sword Sect, she had never lost to anyone in her generation.

She had only ever been defeated once, and that was by Xiao Yang of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

In her eyes, among all present, the only one qualified to be her opponent was Xiao Yang, the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

The rest were just annoying flies.

“The Fuyiao Sword Sect truly deserves to be the number one sect in the Northern Border!”

More and more martial artists gathered at Yuanwu Mountain.

Everyone was nervously watching the luminescent barrier at the mountain gate.

On the barrier, Li Xingyao single-handedly issued a challenge to everyone present with her sword.

What a show of power!

Countless people were in awe.

Xiao Yang stepped back.

If Li Xingyao wanted to put on a show, he was happy to watch from the sidelines.

“How despicable!”

“How arrogant!”

The Holy Sons from other sects were furious at Li Xingyao’s attitude.

“I, Wang Kunpeng of the Refining Sect, will challenge the high skills of the Fuyiao Sword Sect!”

“I, Dan Yangzi of the Dan Ding Sect, request guidance from the Holy Maiden of Fuyiao!”

“I, the Supreme Dao Child, request guidance from the Holy Maiden of Fuyiao!”

“I, Li Fan Yin from the Shifang Qimen, request guidance from the Holy Maiden of Fuyiao!”

The strongest of the younger generation from the four major sects stepped forward.

Along with Chu Guixi from Guiyuan Martial Sect and Ye Feiyang from the Beast Control Manor, the descendants of the six top sects of the Northern Border jointly challenged Li Xingyao.

Only Lu Fusheng from Divine Sword Manor, Ning Shu from Heavenly Medical Sect, and Xiao Yang from Qingyang Sword Sect remained inactive.

Of course, Xiao Yang didn’t take action, nor did Senior Sister Nie Ruhua from Heguan Sect or Hua Mengli from Carefree Palace.

“Qin Fei from Qingyang Sword Sect, I request guidance from the Holy Maiden of Fuyiao!”

Qin Fei stepped up.

He had a score to settle with Li Xingyao.

Back when Li Xingyao challenged him at the Sword Comparison Platform, she once used a technique to shatter Qin Fei’s flying sword.

To a sword cultivator, a flying sword was practically their second life.

Li Xingyao ruined Qin Fei’s sword, and he obviously hated her for it.

“Little junior弟, you…” Jiang Ting panicked.

After all, this was Li Xingyao, the former number one among the younger generation in the Northern Border!

Who gave Qin Fei the courage to challenge her?

“Senior sister…” Qin Fei looked at Jiang Ting.

Jiang Ting gritted her teeth and stepped forward as well.

“Jiang Ting from Qingyang Sword Sect, please enlighten me!”

At this moment, she was still trying to protect Qin Fei.

This was the Gengzi Grand Tournament after all.

This wasn’t the Qingyang Sword Sect where people would show mercy; no one would seek revenge here.

If one got killed here, there would be no one to avenge them.

That was the rule of the Gengzi Grand Tournament.

All grudges should be settled here, no seeking revenge afterward.

Xiao Yang looked coldly at the scene.

If Jiang Ting was looking for trouble, he wouldn’t stop her.

After all, even if she died, it would be for Qin Fei, and it had nothing to do with him, Xiao Yang.

“Senior brother, this…”

Song Qiang furrowed his brows upon witnessing this.

Little junior sister was far too easy to manipulate.

Qin Fei must have calculated that Jiang Ting would jump in.

Because he knew Jiang Ting’s temperament well.

She would never let him face Li Xingyao alone.

And it turned out Qin Fei was right.

No matter the situation, Jiang Ting would always protect Qin Fei first.

Why? Because Qin Fei was pitiful.

However, aside from Xiao Yang, no one knew that Qin Fei was just putting on an act.

As the young master of the Demon Sect, how could he possibly be pitiful?

The truly pitiful ones were all the people being played by Qin Fei.

Especially Jiang Ting; in her previous life, she was truly unfortunate.

For until the moment Qin Fei stabbed her, she still refused to believe he was the young master of the Demon Sect or that he would kill her.

But during her previous life, the most pitiful one was Xiao Yang.

However, now that he had a second chance at life, he wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.

In this new life, whether Jiang Ting was pitiful or not was none of his business.

At this moment, Li Xingyao stood alone with her sword, facing off against eight top experts.

“You guys can all come at me together!”

Li Xingyao beckoned with her fingers at Qin Fei and the others.

“Damn it!”

Wang Kunpeng had a fiery temper; he roared and immediately leaped up, drawing his battle knife.

With a mighty swing, he brought the knife down toward Li Xingyao, displaying immense might.

No one knew just how powerful the Ten Absolute Battle Armor from the Refining Sect was.

But now, they would finally get a glimpse of that power.

“Clang!”

Li Xingyao raised her sword to block the descending knife.

Sparks flew, and Wang Kunpeng was unexpectedly sent flying into the air.

While Li Xingyao stood firmly without moving an inch.

The difference was glaring.

“Everyone, go for it!”

Ye Feiyang roared, commanding several ferocious beasts to charge toward Li Xingyao.

At the same time, he pulled out a magical artifact to hurl at her.

A cold flash shot toward Li Xingyao like lightning.

It was a nail.

Qin Fei, Jiang Ting, Dan Yangzi, Li Fan Yin, the Supreme Dao Child, and Chu Guixi—six top experts all launched their attacks on Li Xingyao at once.

In an instant, beneath Yuanwu Tower, blades and swords danced around.

Li Xingyao, with just one sword, was able to hold her own against the eight top experts.

“What the…?”

The crowd was stunned by this scene.

Li Xingyao’s displayed combat strength was simply too overwhelming.

Even when facing half-saints, she could probably compete without losing.

In fact, Li Xingyao had just recently broken through to half-saint, and her cultivation level was still stabilizing.

But that didn’t stop her from taking on many adversaries.

This scene left countless people in shock.

The events of the Gengzi Grand Tournament would be broadcasted on the barrier at the mountain gate.

Currently, although the area outside Yuanwu Mountain was packed with people, everyone was nervously glued to the scene playing out on the barrier.

Li Xingyao was incredibly dominant.

She was undoubtedly the strongest among all the younger generation across the major sects.

Soon, Li Xingyao swung her sword down and severed Ye Feiyang’s left arm, then leaped into the air, kicking him several dozen zhang away.

Ye Feiyang crashed to the ground, repeatedly coughing blood.

As the sword light flashed, all of Ye Feiyang’s fierce beasts were cut down by Li Xingyao’s flying sword.

What did it matter if they were level six beasts or level seven white tiger beasts? They were no match for Li Xingyao and were all easily dispatched.

Chu Guixi also received special treatment from Li Xingyao.

Li Xingyao’s flying sword zipped over Chu Guixi’s head, slicing off tufts of hair, leaving him with a bald spot.

As for Qin Fei and Jiang Ting, they were swept away by Li Xingyao’s sword qi.

Jiang Ting had a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.

“What the…?”

The crowd was speechless in shock.

Li Xingyao was extraordinarily strong!

Wang Kunpeng charged back into the fray.

However, his battle knife was cleaved in two by Li Xingyao with a single strike. The fierce light of the flying sword cut into Wang Kunpeng’s Ten Absolute Battle Armor, leaving faint traces behind.

Wang Kunpeng once again flew backward.

At that moment, a clear and pleasant sound of a flute rang out.

Li Fan Yin unleashed her sound wave technique, unleashing invisible sonic killing power toward Li Xingyao.

Li Xingyao took a deep breath.

“Ha!”

She exhaled, and the sound resonated like thunder, shaking the very void.

Li Fan Yin’s jade flute shattered instantly, and she herself was sent flying by the force.

She landed on the ground and stumbled, nearly falling over.

Everyone was shocked that Li Xingyao could so easily break Li Fan Yin’s sound wave technique.

“Kill!”

At the same time, a furious roar echoed.

A massive cauldron came crashing down towards Li Xingyao.

Dan Yangzi made his move.

He summoned the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron, attempting to suppress Li Xingyao.

“Turning the Heavens Palm!”

Li Xingyao shot her hand upwards.

“Bang!”

Her palm struck the descending Heaven-Subduing Cauldron, instantly sending the heavy cauldron soaring into the air.

“What?!”

Dan Yangzi was utterly shocked.

Li Xingyao was strong enough to send the Heaven-Subduing Cauldron flying with just her bare hands.

That cauldron was indeed a treasure of the Dan Ding Sect; it was even known as a spiritual artifact in the entire Northern Border!

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene.
