“They’re here!”
A cry suddenly came from the crowd.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall woman with a long sword at her waist come to the field.
Her appearance was gorgeous, and her eyebrows were slanted. She was wearing a black martial arts suit, making her look very heroic. “Is this Lu Yingxuan? She’s really beautiful!” “Hmph! So what if she’s beautiful? She’ll still die if she loses!’
“How do you know she’ll definitely lose?!”
“One is a Five Qi Grandmaster who has been famous for a long time and is half a step into the Martial Saint Realm. The other is a newbie who only has an undeserved reputation as a genius but no actual battle results. The outcome is obvious.”
“Just based on the fact that she dares to challenge Yang Xie, she definitely has a chance of winning! I bet that she can win!”
“Ignorant!”
“What did you say?!”
The bystanders’ gazes gathered on Lu Yingxuan. Some nosy people even started arguing, as if they would fight first if they disagreed.
Although many major events had happened in the prefecture capital recently and the rankings on the Qilin Ranking had changed, these were all too far away from ordinary martial artists like them.
The last public Grandmaster-level battle went back a few years. The Rain Overturning Sword, Lang Fanyun, fought the deputy leader of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, the Black Ranking Grandmaster, Qian Luohai.
At that time, one of them was a Force Tempering Martial Master and the other was a One Qi Grandmaster.
Although their battle was also very interesting, compared to a Five Qi Grandmaster like Yang Xie, the difference was still too great.
In the previous battle, the Furious Flood Dragon Gang had cleared the area outside. Martial artists without background could not enter the river to watch the battle.
This battle was by the Long Forest River outside Linjiang Town. Only the Yang family’s martial artists and the prefecture capital army maintained basic order, but they did not chase them away.
Therefore, all the martial artists in the nearby area who had received the news had basically rushed to the scene.
To be able to personally witness this peak battle that could be said to be a top expert in Yuan Chang County, not to mention a Force Tempering Martial Master, even a Grandmaster-level expert would be inspired.
By watching the battle, he might be able to gain a new understanding of martial arts. He might be able to break through the bottleneck directly.
There were more than 10,000 spectators. They surrounded the Long Forest River tightly.
This battle could truly be said to be the center of attention.
Lu Yingxuan walked steadily towards the arena. Although the voices of discussion were quite far away, martial artists at her level could still hear them clearly.
“Yang Xie, you old thief. I’ve waited too long for this day!’
At this moment, Lu Yingxuan’s attention was all on Yang Xie. There was no room for another person in her eyes.
After Han Zhao helped her resolve the problem of the Dragon Roar Body, she no longer had to worry about the hidden danger of the imbalance of the Yin and Yang Qi. She had already completely stabilized her cultivation of the Four Qi Realm and had even cultivated a supreme technique of the Heaven Fiend Demon Technique.
To Lu Yingxuan, now was the best time to take revenge.
Yang Xie listened to the approaching footsteps and slowly opened his eyes. When Lu Yingxuan stood in front of him, he said calmly,
“You’re here.”
“I’m here.” Lu Yingxuan looked straight at Yang Xie. Although her heart was filled with hatred, she had already calmed down. Anger would only blind her eyes and affect her ability to unleash her full strength.
Excluding the people watching the battle, just by looking at their expressions and tone, those who didn’t know better would think that the two of them had a good relationship and chose sunny weather to spar.
After the two of them finished speaking, they did not say anything else.
Yang Xie’s expression gradually turned solemn. If Lu Yingxuan faced him with any other emotion, he felt that his chances of winning were very high.
However, he did not expect Lu Yingxuan’s eyes to be filled with anger, hatred, and fighting spirit.
I hope Murong Qi keeps his promise, Yang Xie thought to himself. In order to break through the Fiend Condensation bottleneck, he was prepared to join
Nine Nether Mansion. In the end, Nine Nether Mansion’s Guardian Xing Chen, Zheng Xingui, and Lu Huanxiu disappeared together. He could not wait any longer, so he secretly contacted Murong Qi.
Since they were all subordinates, they might as well join the Murong aristocratic family.
As long as he could defeat Lu Yingxuan in this battle, or even fight to a draw, he should be able to obtain Murong Qi’s recognition.
Perhaps Yang Xie himself had not reacted. He had not even begun the battle, but he was already overcautious and had lost the indomitable fighting spirit of a martial artist.
After all, the words ‘Fiend Condensation Martial Saint’ were too tempting. He was afraid to death.
“Why isn’t it starting?
“Aren’t they already here? What are they waiting for?”
“Clang!” Just as the onlookers could not wait any longer, a clear sword hum sounded. The longsword on Lu Yingxuan’s waist was suddenly unsheathed.
“They’ve made their move!”
The onlookers only felt a buzzing in their ears, and the weak martial artists were even in a daze.
“Yang Xie, you old thief! Die!” Lu Yingxuan’s aura rose to the limit. Her silver sword body turned pitch-black under the infusion of Heavenly Demon true qi.
“Pfft!”
The sword stabbed out, its aura like a rainbow. The dark sword light seemed to materialize, bringing with it a sharp sound of air. In an instant, it arrived in front of Yang Xie.
“What a fast sword momentum!” The dark black sword light whistled over. Lu Yingxuan was driven by the sword momentum, and her entire body flashed. Her speed was like a ghost. The blood qi in Yang Xie’s body surged, and his adrenaline surged. His pupils suddenly dilated.
‘Guan King Slash!” Yang Xie gripped the Guan King Saber in his hand tightly. The muscles in his arms suddenly swelled up. He raised his leg and kicked the bottom of the Guan King Saber’s hilt. He lowered his body and barely dodged Lu Yingxuan’s straight sword.
The Guan King Saber that weighed more than 200 catties spun behind him and blocked Lu Yingxuan’s strike..
