Chapter 219

Chapter 219: If Xiao Yang Can Win, I’ll Eat Sh*t Upside Down!

Li Xingyao was at her peak strength.

With just one sword, she sent the Supreme Dao Child, Wang Kunpeng, and the other eight top experts flying.

At this moment, under the watchful eyes of thousands, she pointed her sword at Xiao Yang.

After half a year, she could finally redeem herself.

Six months ago, she challenged Qingyang Mountain but was defeated by Xiao Yang.

In the time since, she had trained desperately and successfully cultivated the True Phoenix Undying Sword Technique to the fifth level, her cultivation breaking through to the Divine Martial Realm.

In the end, she even took a Breaking Realm Dan, successfully advancing to the Half Saint Martial Realm.

Breaking Realm Dan was unbelievable, but it couldn’t let a Divine Martial practitioner directly break into the Saint Martial Realm.

Because breaking into the Saint Martial Realm wasn’t something that could just be achieved with medicinal pills.

At this moment, Li Xingyao was brimming with confidence.

Her battles with the eight experts were just a warm-up before facing Xiao Yang.

Countless spectators, watching through the dazzling light illusion, were extremely tense.

At Yuanwu Mountain, in front of the four great mountain gates, countless martial artists who entered the Sacred Martial Forbidden Domain had gathered.

Countless disciples from various sects in the Northern Territory were looking up at the two figures on the light screen.

Though the crowd was massive, the atmosphere was eerily silent.

Because this battle would determine who would be the boss of the Northern Territory.

Because this battle would decide the fate of countless people.

This battle was too important.

At that moment, on the Yuanwu Tower’s Yuanwu Ranking board, there was only one name.

Who else could be on the list?

In everyone’s eyes, this battle seemed to have no suspense.

The top position on the Yuanwu Ranking belonged to Li Xingyao without a doubt.

No one was betting on Xiao Yang.

Even Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan didn’t have faith in Xiao Yang.

Even Jiang Qitian, Xiao Yang’s master, didn’t believe Xiao Yang was still Li Xingyao’s match.

As for Xiao Yang’s parents and sister, who never liked him, they thought he was being delusional.

Xiao Yang only had peak Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation. How could he possibly compete against Li Xingyao, a Half Saint?

Li Xingyao’s cultivation level far exceeded Xiao Yang’s!

Peak Heavenly Martial against Half Saint.

Even thinking with your toes, it was clear who would win.

Though it’s often said that geniuses can achieve what others cannot and it’s common to hear of geniuses defeating higher-level opponents.

Xiao Yang, possessing the True Sun Holy Body, was indeed a swordsmanship genius of Qingyang Sword Sect, no doubts about that.

But Li Xingyao also had a training physique that was no less than Xiao Yang’s; she too was a swordsmanship genius.

Even in a battle of the same rank, many believed Xiao Yang wouldn’t have any advantage.

Let alone that Li Xingyao’s cultivation level was so much higher than his.

“This unruly son…”

In front of Yuanwu Mountain’s gate, Xiao Zhenshan shook his head with a sigh.

“The universe isn’t set; we’ll only know who the dark horse is after the match!”

Beside Xiao Zhenshan, an old man stroked his beard and chuckled.

Xiao Zhenshan turned to take a look; it was Liu Qingyun, the leader of Qingyun Sect.

Liu Qingyun hadn’t entered the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

He had directly come down from Yuanwu Mountain.

“Still not set? You old man can’t seriously think Xiao Yang is a match for Li Xingyao, right?”

“What a joke!”

“Forget defeating Li Xingyao; if he can even tie with her, I’ll perform a handstand and eat sh*t in public.”

People around scoffed.

“You, yes you! You said if Xiao Yang ties with Li Xingyao, you’d do a public handstand and eat sh*t, right?”

Liu Qingyun pointed at one person loudly.

“That’s right! So what?” the man stepped forward.

“This is Gui Zixiong from Guiyuan Martial Sect!”

“Gui Zixiong, the true disciple of Guiyuan Martial Sect?” someone exclaimed.

Everyone was taken aback.

They hadn’t expected this person to be a disciple of Guiyuan Martial Sect.

Guiyuan Martial Sect had two major factions within it.

“Well, if Xiao Yang defeats Li Xingyao, what will you do then?” Liu Qingyun coldly stared at Gui Zixiong.

“Haha…”

Gui Zixiong burst out laughing.

“Old man, what joke are you making?”

Gui Zixiong regarded Liu Qingyun like he was foolish.

The surrounding people started to laugh disdainfully.

Xiao Zhenshan and the others’ expressions were a bit grim.

“I just want to ask you, if Xiao Yang defeats Li Xingyao, what will you do?” Liu Qingyun pressed.

“Haha… Fine! If Xiao Yang defeats Li Xingyao, I, Gui Zixiong, will not only perform a handstand and eat sh*t in public, but I’ll also run back to Guiyuan Martial Sect naked! How about that?” Gui Zixiong glared fiercely at Liu Qingyun.

“That sounds good!” Liu Qingyun nodded.

“What about you? If Xiao Yang loses to Li Xingyao, then what will you do?” Gui Zixiong arrogantly looked at Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth, flipping his right hand to reveal an ancient seal.

“If Xiao Yang loses, this Qingyun Sect’s sect seal will belong to you.” Liu Qingyun said gravely.

“The Qingyun Sect’s sect seal?” The crowd couldn’t help but be taken aback; they hadn’t expected this old man to be the leader of Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Sect had been one of the top ten sects in the Northern Territory hundreds of years ago.

However, since the Demon Sect suddenly attacked Qingyun Sect and slaughtered all its disciples, the sect had completely declined.

“Being the leader of Qingyun Sect doesn’t seem too bad,” Gui Zixiong smirked.

In his view, Xiao Yang was bound to lose; his gamble against Liu Qingyun was a surefire win!

And this was the Qingyun Sect’s seal—a mark of identity and a treasure.

“Then it’s settled! Everyone, be our witnesses!” Gui Zixiong announced loudly to those around.

Seeing the excitement, the crowd began to cheer.

Liu Qingyun smiled; having lived for hundreds of years, he had no other skills, but judging people—it was his strong suit. In the Northern Territory, he could confidently say he was the best.

No one noticed Xiao Yang standing calmly in front of Li Xingyao.

Everyone only saw the gap in cultivation levels between Xiao Yang and Li Xingyao.

But they were all mistaken.

Determining strength based on cultivation is a common logic in the martial arts world.

However, odd situations often indicate an anomaly.

In Liu Qingyun’s eyes, Xiao Yang was far too composed facing Li Xingyao.

If it were any other Heavenly Martial practitioner, they’d probably have crumbled at the mere sight of Li Xingyao.

But Xiao Yang not only remained steady but also faced Li Xingyao’s challenge head-on.

If he had no confidence, how could he dare to do this?

Knowing he was no match and still stepping up to Li Xingyao?

That was impossible.

In his eyes, Xiao Yang definitely had the strength to fight Li Xingyao.

Xiao Yang still had a chance to win.

Yet Gui Zixiong and the others all thought Liu Qingyun was out of his mind.

At this moment, in the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, under the Yuanwu Tower.

Li Xingyao was about to strike at Xiao Yang.

“Wait!” Xiao Yang suddenly called out.

“Huh?”

Li Xingyao paused, looking at Xiao Yang in confusion.

Xiao Yang suddenly pointed at the Yuanwu Tower.

Everyone looked up.

A shadow shot down rapidly from the sky straight toward Xiao Yang.

“What the…?”

The crowd gasped in shock.

Someone was hiding atop the Yuanwu Tower?

How could this be possible!

The shadow, like a ghost, lunged right above Xiao Yang.

“How dare you!”

Li Xingyao was furious.

Xiao Yang was hers! How dare this guy touch him? Looking for death!

At this moment, countless people were stunned by this scene.

No one expected this to happen.

Li Xingyao sprang into action.

“Senior Brother…”

Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan panicked.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang unleashed his move.

Two sword lights instantly sliced toward that shadow.

“Clang!”

The sound of metal clashing echoed.

The shadow was sent flying, landing dozens of feet away, spitting blood and nearly collapsing.

“How is that possible…”

The figure in black looked at Xiao Yang in shock.

He had been hiding atop the Yuanwu Tower; how did Xiao Yang discover him?

That was impossible!

“Surprised, huh? Wondering how I found you?”

Xiao Yang smiled at the figure in black.

The black-clad person instinctively nodded.

Everyone perked their ears to listen.

No one had noticed this figure in black.

Not even Li Xingyao had noticed.

Everyone in front of the light screen was curious too.

“I won’t tell you!”

Xiao Yang had actually known about this guy’s existence for a long time.

Because in his previous life, he nearly died at the hands of this dude.

This person was the top assassin from Smoke Rain Tower, Long Fei.

In his previous life, when he and Li Xingyao were fighting to a standstill, this guy suddenly appeared, wanting to take advantage.

But such a cheap shot wasn’t so easily taken.

In his previous life, Xiao Yang ultimately backstabbed Long Fei, defeated Li Xingyao, and won against all odds.

And in his past, Long Fei had been hiding atop Yuanwu Tower.

This time, did this guy really think he could hide and sneak a shot?

Not a chance!

“Kill!”

Li Xingyao didn’t hesitate, directly aiming for Long Fei.

However, Long Fei didn’t dare to confront Li Xingyao and turned to flee.

But he couldn’t escape.

Xiao Yang leaped and reached out toward Long Fei dozens of feet away.

Long Fei was immediately yanked back toward him uncontrollably.

“What is this…?”

Li Xingyao was bewildered. Xiao Yang’s move looked so much like her Fuyiao Sword Sect’s Starlight Snatch!

But Xiao Yang’s application seemed even more powerful.

“Swish!”

The sword light flashed past.

The top assassin from Smoke Rain Tower didn’t even get to scream before being sliced in two by Li Xingyao’s sword.

“…”

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

“How did you kill him?”

Xiao Yang looked at Li Xingyao, feeling frustrated.

“I told you, he’s mine!”

Li Xingyao said coldly.

“Sigh, I still wanted to ask him who wanted my life!” Xiao Yang sighed.

“This…”

Li Xingyao was momentarily stunned.

Assassins from Smoke Rain Tower wouldn’t kill without a reason.

They kill for money.

However, once they took on an assassination contract, they had to see it through.

The fact that this guy from Smoke Rain Tower attacked Xiao Yang meant someone had hired him to kill Xiao Yang.

“Whatever, can we start now?”

Li Xingyao once again pointed her sword at Xiao Yang.
