Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates-Chapter 150 - 148 Battle Against Zhao Qian
Chapter 150: Chapter 148 Battle Against Zhao Qian
"Securing the first place in the grand competition not only allows entry to the Vice Sect Leader as a disciple but also to become the Young Master..." Xiao Ye’s heart stirred slightly.
Zhao Qian, the Vice Sect Leader’s illegitimate son, has such rewards offered by the Vice Sect Leader without a doubt for Zhao Qian’s sake.
"The Vice Sect Leader is so confident in Zhao Qian, he must have a powerful trump card." Xiao Ye became secretly vigilant.
In fact, aside from his shown cultivation, Zhao Qian had not yet used his other methods, such as the Martial Arts True Intent he comprehended, which Xiao Ye was still unaware of.
"I do not care about the position of Young Master, but I must defeat Zhao Qian!" Xiao Ye’s gaze was extremely determined, his vow from years ago must be fulfilled today, no one can stop him.
"The rules are clear now, you may go up." The Vice Sect Leader said indifferently.
"Hmph, the position of Young Master is mine!" Zhao Qian, fluttering in his white robe, was the first to fly up to the Heavenly Pride Arena.
"Sister, let’s go up as well." Xiao Ye spoke, then flew up together with Bing Ya, followed by the other two direct disciples.
The disciples watching the battle stared intently at the Heavenly Pride Arena, where the first place of this grand competition, or rather the Young Master of Chongyang Sect, will be decided.
The final round of the melee is indeed the most exciting part of this direct disciples’ competition.
"Begin!" The voice of the Vice Sect Leader, imbued with his suppression, echoed from afar.
Instantly, the atmosphere on the spacious arena became oppressive, and the two direct disciples’ expressions turned solemn.
The cultivation of these two was one at the early stage of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer and one at the mid stage of the Innate Realm Ninth Layer, incomparable to Zhao Qian and Xiao Ye.
"Brother Wu, shall we team up to take down Bing Ya first, then compete for the third place?"
"Good, I have the same intention." The opinions of the two direct disciples were instantly unanimous.
The first and second places were definitely for Xiao Ye and Zhao Qian; they did not dare to imagine otherwise, so they aimed for third place, with Bing Ya as their obstacle.
"Sister Bing Ya, forgive us!" The two direct disciples roared, unleashing immense power that surged heavenwards, then charged at Bing Ya.
"Junior brother, focus on dealing with Zhao Qian. I can handle these two." Bing Ya softly left these words, her Martial Arts True Intent, as cold as ice, swept over the entire Heavenly Pride Arena.
Xiao Ye nodded. Bing Ya should be sufficient to deal with those two direct disciples, so he was not worried.
Boom!
In an instant, Bing Ya and the two men clashed in battle, deafening explosions echoing through the air, the tumultuous battle fluctuations rushing out in all directions.
Hum!
At this moment, a protective light screen automatically rose around the Heavenly Pride Arena, blocking all the battle fluctuations from spreading.
"How exciting, to see such an intense battle right from the start!" The watching disciples were boiling with excitement, their faces full of animation.
"Eh? Why haven’t Xiao Ye and Zhao Qian clashed yet?" Someone expressed their confusion at this time.
At once, many gazes turned toward the two figures on the Heavenly Pride Arena - standing face-to-face, as stable as Taishan, their eyes locked, an incredibly terrifying aura permeating around them, shredding any residual waves of battle that approached.
At this moment, everything else vanished before their eyes, leaving only each other.
This is a decisive battle of fate!
"I have waited for this day, for a long time," Xiao Ye said, his eyes shooting out two fierce rays of light, "Zhao Qian, you once said that I would only be able to look up to you for a lifetime, but now, I have caught up with you!"
Zhao Qian’s face darkened with scorn, "All you have is some extra physical strength; your cultivation is leagues behind mine, and you still dare to claim you’ve caught up? That’s a fool’s dream!"
Xiao Ye laughed coldly in response, "The strength I, Xiao Ye, possess today has been earned through bitter cultivation step by step, while you have been given various cultivation resources. If I had the same conditions as you, my cultivation would surpass yours tenfold, a hundredfold. What right do you have to be so arrogant before me!"
Slap!
As these words were spoken, it was as if a resounding slap struck Zhao Qian’s face.
The disciples watching the battle at the Heavenly Pride Arena nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Zhao Qian grew up in Chongyang Sect, treated as a Heaven’s Chosen Son, which is why he has such cultivation.
In contrast, Xiao Ye, having only entered Chongyang Sect for a mere three years and risen strongly despite limited cultivation resources, now stands shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Qian at the peak level of direct disciples.
Such potential was incomparable to Zhao Qian.
Swoosh!
Zhao Qian’s face changed. A towering killing intent surged from within him, locking onto Xiao Ye, the terrifying power fluctuations sweeping across the entire Heavenly Pride Arena.
"Furious out of shame? It seems you, Zhao Qian, lack composure," Xiao Ye said with a taunting smile, his composure unfazed.
"Ah! You lowly peasant, I will kill you!" Zhao Qian, driven by anger into incoherence, lunged toward Xiao Ye, his formidable presence collapsing the void, causing the entire Heavenly Pride Arena to tremble.
Boom!
Xiao Ye’s hair danced wildly, his eyes blazed like the sun, his surging Blood Qi forming a pillar of light shooting straight into the Nine Heavens.
"Zhao Qian, you humiliated me that day; today, I will return it to you tenfold, a hundredfold!" Xiao Ye bellowed, his thundering voice filled with overwhelming War Intent.
He had waited for this moment for too long!
Xiao Ye stood like a God Demon, his eye gaze daunting, his Blood Qi enormous, stirring the Nine-layered Heaven, causing winds and clouds to shift.
Hum!
Xiao Ye activated his Fighting Fist Technique. Three Giant Cauldrons blasted out simultaneously, possessing the might to cleave the sky, filled with the momentum to sweep everything away.
Rumble!
Both being peerless young talents, their ferocious exchange was like two meteors colliding, unleashing terrifying power enough to destroy everything.
Had the Heavenly Pride Arena not been a Xuan Artifact, it would have been turned into dust by their clash.
The two direct disciples facing Bing Ya were not so lucky. The battle fluctuations between Xiao Ye and Zhao Qian were too terrifying, engulfing them like giant waves.
Bing Ya’s strength was superb, barely affected, and she quickly forced the two out of the Heavenly Pride Arena within a few moves.
"Sister, I hope you can win." Bing Ya turned to look at the two still battling, then leaped down from the arena.
Bing Ya voluntarily conceded, securing third place.
To this, no one was greatly surprised; even Bing Ya found it difficult to compete with those two.
Watching the fierce battle on the Heavenly Pride Arena, many were thrilled, cheering excitedly. Both Xiao Ye and Zhao Qian were only second to the Black Robed Elder in strength.
Of course, due to Zhao Qian’s brutality, everyone was supporting Xiao Ye, hoping he would take first place and become the Young Master of the sect.
Atop the arena.
Xiao Ye triggered his Fighting Fist Technique, each punch with enough force to pierce through the void, filled with immense power. Zhao Qian was not inferior; his Fifth Grade Combat Technique was equally powerful.
For a time, the two seemed evenly matched.
"You ant, still trying to compete with me? Today, I, Zhao Qian, will let you witness my Martial Arts Truth!" Zhao Qian shouted angrily, as a surge of golden Martial Arts Truth shot into the sky, filled with a sharp aura.
Clang!
The golden Martial Arts Truth was like an unsheathed divine weapon, chilling to the bone.
Fifty percent of Martial Arts True Intent!
Xiao Ye gazed at Zhao Qian, his eyes bearing a trace of solemnity.
"This is the Golden Martial True Intent. Among all the Martial Arts True Intents, its attack power ranks at the top. Prepare to die!" Zhao Qian roared, and suddenly the golden Martial Arts True Intent transformed into a barrage of golden spears, shooting towards Xiao Ye like raindrops.
This attack was much stronger than Leng Feng’s weapon control.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Ye snorted, and quickly, forty percent of the Flame True Intent sprang forth, forming fifteen Flame Lotus flowers for defense before him.
Hiss hiss hiss!
The golden spears were dense and continuously bombarded the Flame Lotus, most being extinguished, yet a few penetrated the defense and stabbed towards Xiao Ye’s body.
"Ha ha, you ant, you’re as good as dead today, no one can save you!" Zhao Qian laughed loudly.
"With such an attack, you think you can kill me?" Xiao Ye sneered coldly, reaching out his hand and swatting away the spears that broke through the defense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like snow meeting blazing sun, the golden spears instantly dispersed, leaving Xiao Ye’s body unscathed.
Indeed, Zhao Qian’s Martial Arts True Intent had a very strong attack power, but Xiao Ye had a dual defense from the Flame True Intent and his physical body, enough to withstand such an attack.
Zhao Qian’s smile froze. He had never imagined that Xiao Ye’s defense could be so monstrous.
"Zhao Qian, if your techniques are limited to this, then prepare to be defeated by me!" Xiao Ye, like a soaring Roc, leaped towards the sky and stomped down towards Zhao Qian’s head, his terrifying physical body power making the void collapse.
Stomping down on someone’s head was undoubtedly a form of humiliation, Xiao Ye was indeed aiming to humiliate Zhao Qian.
Zhao Qian stepped back to dodge Xiao Ye’s foot, standing at a distance, watching Xiao Ye coldly.
"Have you ever wondered, I, Zhao Qian, always carry a longsword, yet why do I never draw it?" Zhao Qian spoke icily, his gaze towards Xiao Ye like looking at a dead man.
"Sword?" Xiao Ye landed back in the arena, suddenly overcome with an ominous premonition.
"Because, ever since I, Zhao Qian, embarked on the martial path, anyone who has seen me draw my sword... has died!" Having said that, Zhao Qian unsheathed the longsword on his back.
Boom!
Instantly, the void trembled, and a dreadfully terrifying fluctuation enveloped the entire Chongyang Mountain range, causing countless mountains to quiver with a daunting aura that shot towards the heavens.
A Xuan Artifact!
Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted sharply, and he swiftly retreated several steps.
It was a green longsword, its brilliant radiance drowning the entire Heavenly Pride Arena.
Zhao Qian actually used a Xuan Artifact during the competition amongst direct disciples!
The spectating disciples began cursing in anger. With Zhao Qian wielding a Xuan Artifact, which direct disciple could contend? This completely disrupted the balance of the competition!
Even the four Black Robed Elders furrowed their brows.
"Silence!" At this moment, the Vice Sect Leader’s authoritative voice rang out, quelling all dissenting voices.
"In the competition of direct disciples, there is no rule against using Xuan Artifacts," the Vice Sect Leader stated indifferently.
Hearing this, the hearts of the spectating disciples sank. The Vice Sect Leader was openly favoring Zhao Qian, and now it seemed Xiao Ye was doomed to lose, or rather, doomed to die.
"Heh heh... I see." Xiao Ye sneered in his heart, feeling no goodwill towards the Vice Sect Leader at this point.
In the competition of direct disciples, to blatantly protect Zhao Qian like this, the Vice Sect Leader clearly wasn’t upstanding.
"Zhao Qian, do you think you’re the only one with a Xuan Artifact?" Xiao Ye slightly raised his head, a fierce glint flashing in his pupils.
