Translator: 549690339
Yi City Martial Arts Practice.
As Yi City’s largest Martial Arts Practice Grounds, it was naturally the place that would take on the responsibility of this clan battle.
Ever since the Yi City Martial Arts Practice Field was established, it was a profitable arena that used martial artists ‘duels as a selling point.
There were close to 100,000 seats around the martial arts arena, which was also a chance for the people of Jiang Prefecture who were here to watch the clan battle.
In the martial arts practice field, the five great clans had arrived early. At this moment, they were resting in the resting area with their eyes closed. They were only waiting for the arrival of Deshun Commandery Prince and Prefecture Overseer to start the clan battle.
About an hour later, the Deshun Commandery Prince and the Prefecture Overseer arrived.
“Greetings to the Deshun Commandery Prince and Prefecture Overseer!”
Everyone in the Martial Arts Practice Field bowed to the Duke of Deshun.
The Duke of Deshun smiled and nodded. His voice, which was mixed with spiritual energy, reached everyone’s ears.
“It’s fortunate that everyone regards this king and the Prefecture Overseer as witnesses of this clan battle.”
“Since you want me to be the witness of this clan battle, then I have to put the ugly words first. If any clan is unhappy after the clan battle and secretly uses other methods, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”
“Alright, I won’t waste any more time. May the Prefecture Overseer explain the rules of the clan war to everyone.”
When the Prefecture Overseer heard this, he stepped forward.” Everyone, the aristocratic families participating in this clan battle are the Chen Family of Nanyang, the Chu Family of Jiangyou, the Xu Family of Aiming, the Sun Family of Zuo Ling, and the Sun Family of You Ling.”
“The goal of the clan war is the share of the dark iron mine.”
“The five great clans have discussed this matter and decided to split the Darksteel mine into a hundred shares. Each clan will have twenty shares at the start.”
“The clan war follows the challenge method. Each clan has a chance to challenge.”
“Each challenge requires three arena battles. After each arena battle, the loser has to pay five shares to the winner.”
“According to the drawing of lots, the Zuo Ling Sun family will challenge first. The remaining challenge order will be the An Ning Xu family, the You Ling Sun family, the Jiang You Chu family, and the Nan Yang Chen family.”
“Aristocratic families can give up on the challenge. There is no punishment for giving up the challenge.”
“In the arena battle, external help is not allowed. If a general is to fight, someone must prove his identity as a general, and only one general can fight.
Other than beastmasters, subdued beasts were not allowed to be used. Puppets were not allowed to be used for spirit weapons.”
“A beastmaster can’t use more than two subdued beasts.”
“In addition, in the arena battle, you are not allowed to use medicinal pills, poison weapons, or kill people. Does anyone have any objections?”
“We don’t have any.” The five clans replied in unison.
Seeing this, the Prefecture Overseer nodded.” Since there are no objections, I hereby announce that the clan battle has officially begun!”
“For the first battle, the Sun family of Zuo Ling will go first. Which family do you want to challenge?”
The Sun Family Head of Zuo Ling’s Sun Family swept his gaze across the crowd and finally stopped at Chen Yang.” Chen Family Head, I’m sorry.””
Yang Chen smiled.” It’s okay. Just follow the rules.””
Master Sun nodded and looked at the Prefecture Overseer.” Lord Prefecture Overseer, the Sun Family of Zuo Ling challenges the Chen Family of Nanyang.” “Alright, please send out your clansmen to fight.”
As soon as the Prefecture Overseer finished speaking, the two sides began to discuss who would fight.
At the Sun family’s side.
Patriarch Sun looked at Sun Chuanwu.” Old ancestor, who will be sent for the first battle?”
Sun Chuanwu stroked his beard and thought for a moment. Then, he looked at a disciple of the Sun family dressed in blue.
“The Chen family is too strange. They might be hiding something. Let Sun Tianming fight in the first battle.”
“This way, even though Sun Tianming is the weakest among the three of you, he is still at the fifth level of Pulse Unsealing.”
“If the Chen family doesn’t plan to send out their hidden experts, then Sun Tianming has a high chance of winning.”
“Secondly, even if the other side sends out hidden experts, our weakest one will be able to deal with the other side’s strongest one.”
Master Sun nodded and looked at Sun Tianming.” Thirteenth Brother, 1’11 leave the first battle to you.””
Seeing this, Sun Tianming stepped forward and said,””Don’t worry, Patriarch. I’ll definitely make the first move!”
At the same time, on the Chen family’s side, Chen Yang was discussing with Chen Xuan who would fight.
“Patriarch, my suggestion is to let Chen Ying fight. No matter who the other side sends, we should win the first round. Then, when we fight later, the other side’s mentality will change.”Chen Xuan suggested.
Yang Chen pondered for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case.
Immediately, Chen Yang looked at Chen Ying.” Chen Ying, you’re going up in the first round?”
When Chen Ying saw this, he nodded his head. Immediately, he glanced at the Sun family of Zuo Ling and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,” Family Head, don’t worry. I will definitely win this battle.””
As Chen Ying and Sun Tianming entered the arena, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its peak.
“Who do you think will win?”
“Who knows? We have to win.”
“Who cares who wins? 1 only know that we will definitely feast our eyes.”
On the arena, Sun Tianming looked at the person dressed as a family guard in front of him. He felt his terrifying aura and was delighted.
As expected, the ancestor’s guess was correct. This person should be a hidden expert of the Chen family. Perhaps he was secretly supported by the Deshun Commandery Prince.
With the power under Deshun Commandery Prince’s command, their Sun family would not be able to resist any one of them.
Now that he, a low-grade horse, had defeated the opponent’s special grade horse, wasn’t victory a certainty?
Thinking of this, Sun Tianming looked at Chen Ying proudly.
Chen Ying was stunned. He seemed to be emitting his own aura, but why was this person still so happy? Did he think that he was pretending?
Good heavens, you are the first person who dares to look down on assassins. 1 will definitely serve you well.
As the Prefecture Overseer announced the start of the battle, Chen Ying’s figure suddenly disappeared. Before Sun Tianming could react, he suddenly appeared behind Sun Tianming.
Then, Chen Ying threw a punch.
Puff!
Sun Tianming felt a sweetness in his mouth, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body flew out like a bird with broken wings, and he fell heavily on the ground.
Chen Ying followed him and came in front of Sun Tianming. He said condescendingly,””Are you still looking down on me now?”
Sun Tianming was stunned. When did 1 look down on you?
Forget it. If he lost, whatever he said would be wrong. He could say whatever he wanted.
” The Chen Clan wins this battle!”
Looking at Sun Tianming’s expression, the Prefecture Overseer knew that he couldn’t fight anymore. He immediately announced the final result.
“Oh my god, did I sense it wrong? That’s a martial artist at the peak of Meridian Unsealing.”
“The Chen Clan has hidden themselves so deeply that they actually have an expert at the peak of Pulse Unsealing.”
“After all, Chen Yang is the disciple of the Deshun Commandery Prince. The Chen Clan is fighting, and the Deshun Commandery Prince has to support the Chen Clan as much as possible under the rules.”
“That’s true. However, the Chen family won’t be having a good time next. Even if they win this round, there are still two more. Could the Chen family win one of these two matches?”
Sun Chuanwu patted Sun Tianming’s shoulder.” Not bad. You were able to force out the Chen family’s hidden strength. You didn’t lose out this time.””
“Next, it’s up to your two brothers to help you seize the Chen family’s share!”
