Chapter 167
Ying Qianghua, whose strength had soared.
Dong!
A bell rang from afar. The Ninth Commandery Princess, who was sitting at the top of the platform, stood up. Her clear voice was heard as well.
"Since the Huben Sect has forfeited, only the City Lord's Manor and the Yin Sifting Sect remain. Let the second round begin!
Let me make this clear first. The condition for winning the second round is to defeat all of the opponents. Defeating just one person won't count. "
Whoosh!
A strong figure came to the center of the arena instantly, revealing a cold face and silver hair. It was Lingju, who had been standing behind the Ninth Commandery Princess.
"The second round of the bet will be decided by this old man. If both parties have no objections, let's begin!" Lingju waved his right hand gently as he spoke in an indifferent manner.
"I'll go first!
She had heard from her father that Brother Zhuo really needed this slot.
In order to thank you for saving my sister just now, I will fight for this spot for you, and you may not need to do anything! "
On the high platform, Gu Xin slowly stood up and glanced at Zhuowen, who was not far away, with a proud look on her face.
"Since Xin 'er has volunteered, you should go first!
Gu Yue Tian nodded and spoke in a serious tone. "Although you are quite strong and have a low grade spirit treasure, you can't be careless. After all, the two contestants sent by the Yin Sifting Sect are not to be trifled with."
Gu Xin nodded. She tapped the ground with the tip of her foot and flew towards the arena like a vigorous bird.
At the same time, a figure flew out from the Yin Sifting Sect's side. This figure had his fingers pinched together like an orchid, and his cheeks were flushed red. It was the effeminate Ying Qianghua.
"Father!
Do you feel that Big Bro will win this time? "Beside Gu Yuetian, the rather pale looking Gu Yue worriedly asked.
Even though she was very confident in Gu Xin's strength, the Yin Sifting Sect's representative wasn't any weaker than Gu Xin, either.
"Actually, even I am not certain whether Xin 'er can win. Let's just wait and see!" Gu Yue Tian muttered as he cast his gaze towards the arena.
When Gu Xin left, Zhuo Wen's eyes fell on Ying Xueluo, who was not far away. When he saw the faint smile on Ying Xueluo's face, an ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart …
"Yo!
You sent our Young Master Gu Xin for the first match. I'm really flattered. "Ying Qianghua twisted his body and laughed while covering his mouth.
"I alone am enough!
Gu Xin smiled faintly as she said, "We don't have to go through so much trouble to deal with your Yin Sifting Sect."
"Gongzi Gu Xin, are you very confident?
However, I wonder if you'll still be able to show such an arrogant expression after I beat you to the ground? "
Ying Qianghua chuckled. Then, with a light bounce of his feet, he disappeared from the spot like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already behind Gu Xin.
A pair of sharp claws suddenly shot out from his fingertips. Immediately, these sharp claws mercilessly clawed at the back of Gu Xin's head. Gu Xin's head would definitely be cracked if he was caught by these claws.
Gu Xin snorted coldly and stomped her foot on the ground. Her entire body seemed to twist and turn to the side, barely dodging Ying Qianghua's sharp claws.
"Let's end this quickly!
I still have to spend some time to defeat your sister. "
After dodging Ying Qianghua's attack, Gu Xin instantly took out a golden halo from the Qiankun bag at her waist. Then, with a sudden shift of her feet, she circled behind Ying Qianghua. Her right hand turned into a claw and fiercely grasped Ying Qianghua's calf.
Ying Qianghua was shocked and tried to stretch out his leg to break free. However, Gu Xin's claw was like an iron hoop, firmly grasping his calf in her hand.
"Ying Qianghua, this is the end!"
The corners of Gu Xin's mouth curled into a sneer. Then, the golden halo in her other hand suddenly emitted a golden light. With a swoosh, she smashed it towards Ying Qianghua's chest.
Boom!
A blazing golden light slowly rose. Immediately, a figure suddenly flew out. After drawing a scar that was more than ten meters long on the arena, it coincidentally stopped at the edge of the arena.
This figure was Ying Qianghua of the Yin Sifting Sect. At this time, Ying Qianghua's body was constantly twitching, and the aura on his body had become very weak. Blood had gathered like a stream under his body.
Seeing that Gu Xin had defeated Ying Qianghua of the Yin Sifting Sect in an instant, there was a burst of cheers from the high platform where the City Lord Mansion's forces were located. Even Gu Yue and Gu Yue Tian showed a hint of joy on their faces.
Only Zhuowen frowned slightly. He looked at Ying Xueluo again. Zhuowen saw that Ying Xueluo's expression was still calm. In fact, it was so calm that it was a little scary. He didn't seem to be worried about Ying Qianghua being defeated in an instant.
On the arena, Gu Xin glanced at Ying Qianghua, who was curled up in the corner of the arena. Then, she curled her lips and looked in the direction of the Yin Sifting Sect. She said indifferently, "It seems that the Yin Sifting Sect is a bunch of paper tigers. Since Ying Qianghua has been defeated by me, Ying Hualan, hurry up and come down!"
However, Gu Xin soon discovered that something was wrong. Ying Hualan, who was on the high platform, didn't move at all. Instead, she crossed her arms and stared at Gu Xin below with a mocking gaze.
"Young master Gu Xin, it's a little too early to say that it's over!"
A gloomy voice suddenly came from behind. Gu Xin turned around and saw Ying Qianghua's sinister smile. Her pupils couldn't help but shrink.
In an instant, Ying Qianghua's sharp claws viciously clawed at Gu Xin's head once again.
"What a tenacious fellow. Then, I'll send you off the stage early!"
The surprise on Gu Xin's face disappeared in a flash. Then, he raised the diamond bracelet on his right hand and blocked Ying Qianghua's claws.
Boom!
A sound like muffled thunder suddenly resounded throughout the arena. Then, Gu Xin's eyes suddenly popped out. He felt the web between his thumb and forefinger go numb. Then, a huge force instantly pushed him back.
"This fellow's strength is much stronger than before?"
Gu Xin groaned and was forced back a dozen steps by this huge force. Then, he raised his head and looked at Ying Qianghua, who was standing quietly not far away, in horror.
At this moment, apart from some bloodstains on Ying Qianghua's clothes, his face was extremely rosy. There was no sign of the dispirited look he had when he fell to the ground. Moreover, Gu Xin was surprised that the aura emitted from Ying Qianghua's body seemed to be stronger than before.
"It seems that Young Master Gu Xin can't end this quickly!
I'm not going to play with you anymore. Next, I'll finish you off! "
Ying Qianghua raised one of his fingers and smiled. Then, his face instantly became much colder. At the same time, an extremely powerful aura burst out from his body.
Creak!
On the high platform, Gu Yue Tian's hand suddenly clenched. He looked at Ying Qianghua in disbelief and said with trembling lips, "This aura is actually at the half-step King Zhao Realm. It turns out that this person has been hiding his strength. His true strength has actually reached this level."
"Then what should we do?
Big Brother is only at the ninth stage of the Corporeal Yang Realm, which is one stage lower than the half-step King Zhao Realm. It seems that it will be a bit difficult for him to deal with Ying Qianghua! "Gu Yue's face turned pale. She also didn't expect such an unforeseen event.
After Ying Qianghua revealed his half-step King Zhao Realm aura, the crowd outside the arena boiled over. Many factions looked at Ying Qianghua in disbelief. They didn't expect the Yin Sifting Sect to be able to nurture such a young expert at the half-step King Zhao Realm.
"The Yin Sifting Sect really hid their strength well!
There's actually a half-step King Zhao Realm cultivator in the younger generation. Doesn't that mean that the Yin Sifting Sect's foundation is even stronger than the City Lord's Mansion? "
"It seems that Gu Xin is doomed this time. I'm afraid the City Lord's Mansion is going to lose this time!"
"If the City Lord's Mansion loses this time, it will have an indelible impact on the City Lord's Mansion's reputation and status!"
"… …"
As soon as Ying Qianghua revealed his half-step Zhao King Realm strength, the entire high platform went into an uproar. Many people didn't expect the Yin Sifting Sect to send out a half-step Zhao King Realm disciple.
Somewhere on the high platform, Hu Xiao looked at Ying Qianghua and sighed. "I really didn't expect the Yin Sifting Sect's foundation to be so deep. It seems that the Yin Sifting Sect obtained a lot of benefits from the last competition!
It's a good thing that our Huben Sect forfeited in time. Otherwise, we might not even be able to keep our spot. "
"The City Lord's Mansion's chances of winning this time are a little slim. Even Gu Xin might not be a match for a half-step Bright King Realm cultivator!" Hu Wuying, who was beside Hu Xiao, shook his head and sighed.
At this point, his gaze shifted to a young man on another high platform. When he saw the calm expression on the young man's face, he revealed a hint of surprise.
"Things have already reached such a stage. What is the reason for this fellow to still be so calm?" Hu Wuying fell into deep thought as he looked at Zhuo Wen, who was standing not far away, who was as calm as an ancient well.
"I'll finish you in one move!
Young Master hit me so hard just now, so I'll naturally return the favor. "
A cold glint flashed across Ying Qianghua's eyes. Soon after, an endless amount of Yuan Power suddenly rose from within his body. Soon after, these powerful Yuan Power, which was just like a stormy sea, suddenly gathered behind him and formed a huge sharp claw that was dozens of feet long. The surface of the sharp claw emitted a dense bloody glow, which made it look rather terrifying.
"Blood Claw!"
A feminine voice slowly sounded. Immediately, Ying Qianghua's right hand suddenly pressed downwards. The huge blood claw behind him was just like a black cloud as it violently pressed down on Gu Xin.
Gu Xin clenched his teeth. He knew that he had no other choice. He didn't expect Ying Qianghua to suddenly erupt with the strength of a half-step King Zhao Realm cultivator. However, he didn't have the time to think too much.
He swung the Vajra Bracelet with his right hand and channeled the elemental energy in his body into the Vajra Bracelet.
This diamond bracelet was a low-grade spirit treasure that Gu Yue Tian gave him. Its power was considered quite good among low-grade spirit treasures.
