Chapter 735

Cao Yan

The battle between Zhuowen and Wen Ao Xue had attracted the attention of many people.

Wen Ao Xue was the number one genius of the eight counties and was ranked 66th on the Green Emperor Leaderboard. He was one of the most popular contenders for the top 65.

Zhuowen was a nobody. However, after the Battle of the Nine Counties, he had single-handedly eliminated many geniuses from the Lihuo County. His reputation had gradually risen in the Imperial Capital and he had become a hot topic.

The two geniuses that many people thought highly of were going to meet in the first round. This naturally attracted the attention of many people.

"I wonder who will be the final winner of the battle between Zhuowen and Wen Ao Xue!"

"It should be Wen Ao Xue. It is said that Wen Ao Xue has already broken through to the ultimate seven-wheel Emperor Stage. As for Zhuowen, he is not famous. He should not be as strong as Wen Ao Xue!"

"No, it is said that Zhuowen is also an initial seven-wheel Emperor Stage practitioner. His strength is not inferior to Wen Ao Xue's!

It is hard to predict the outcome of the battle between the two. This battle will definitely be a fierce battle. "

The discussion was like a tsunami, causing a huge uproar in the surrounding square. Most people's gazes were focused on the eighth arena. They were looking forward to the battle between Zhuowen and Wen Ao Xue.

Swoosh!

Wen Ao Xue's long hair fluttered in the wind. Countless ice crystals revolved around his body like a cold current. It looked extremely terrifying.

In an instant, Wen Ao Xue launched an attack. She stretched out her slender hand and countless ice crystals were under her control. They turned into a giant ice python that was dozens of feet long. Its waist was as thick as a water bucket.

"Ice Python!"

With a delicate snort, Wen Ao Xue waved her jade-like hand. The Frost Python raised its head to the sky and let out a shrill hiss. It carried with it an endless amount of cold air as it shot straight towards Zhuo Wen at an extremely fast speed.

Zhuowen shook his head. He stretched out his right hand and the bone spear in his hand started to spin. Soon after, he threw it out.

Swoosh!

The bone spear was like an arrow that had been released from a bow. It pierced through the air and rushed towards the ice python. Its speed was much faster than the ice python's.

Furthermore, boundless blue spear images appeared around the bone spear as a mysterious power surged out. It was the Spear Intent that Zhuo Wen had grasped.

Bang!

The bone spear instantly struck the Frost Python's forehead. Following that, everyone was shocked to discover that the scales on the surface of the Frost Python were like paper to the bone spear.

Whoosh!

In the instant of the collision, the bone spear pierced through the Frost Python's forehead and continued to fly towards Wen Ao Xue.

Wen Aoxue's pretty face greatly changed. She did not expect that the Frost Python would be unable to withstand a single blow from Zhuowen's bone spear. Her heart was filled with shock.

"This Zhuowen is a lot stronger than when he was in the Peach Blossom Origin Pattern!

How did he improve so quickly? "

Wen Aoxue turned pale with fright. Zhuowen's improvement made her somewhat fearful. She had originally thought that she would be able to suppress Zhuowen once she had advanced to the ultimate seven-wheel emperor realm. However, it now seemed that this was simply a pipe dream.

Gritting her teeth, Wen Ao Xue's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of determination. She slowly extended her right hand, and on her pure white wrist, there was a crystal clear jade bracelet. This jade bracelet was snow white in color, and it faintly revealed a frightening chill.

"Inquiring Mirror Icicle!"

Wen Ao Xue's cherry lips opened and closed as a crisp voice rang out from her lips. Following which, a terrifying blue chill burst forth from the jade bracelet on her right hand.

The terrifying blue chill actually condensed into huge icicles that seemed to support the heavens in front of Wen Ao Xue. The icicles pierced the sky, and the chill permeated the air.

A total of ten huge icicles stood in front of Wen Ao Xue, looking extremely majestic and magnificent.

Ding!

A clear and melodious sound suddenly resounded from the ten icicles. The bone spears that were like a hot knife through butter actually came to a halt the instant they collided with the icicles.

"What sturdy icicles!"

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly. The might of the Inquiring Mirror Icicles that Wen Ao Xue had suddenly used had somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Thinking up to here, Zhuowen's foot stomped on the ground, and he instantly arrived in front of the icicles. His right hand grasped the bone spear, and golden light burst forth as he used the Nirvana of the Great Sun. A powerful force acted on the bone spear, greatly increasing its might.

Kacha!

The icicles instantly shattered, and Zhuowen followed like a shadow, arriving in front of Wen Ao Xue. He fiercely swung his bone spear, and it turned into many spear shadows, blasting towards Wen Ao Xue's chest.

"Inquiring Mirror Icicle!"

Wen Ao Xue's expression changed greatly. She swiped her jade-like hand in front of her chest, and countless icicles gathered, forming a sparkling and translucent oval ice mirror.

"It's useless!"

Zhuowen's cold voice rang out, and the bone spear that was wrapped in spear shadows instantly smashed onto the ice mirror. The seemingly sturdy ice mirror shattered into countless pieces like glass.

Puchi!

Wen Ao Xue's delicate body was sent flying, and thick blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth as she landed outside the arena.

The Silver Dragon General looked at Zhuowen in astonishment. He actually could not see through this youth in front of him.

When Zhuo Wen attacked just now, he had not used any moves from the beginning to the end. With just a single spear, all of Wen Ao Xue's defenses had been broken. Anyone with a discerning eye could easily see the difference between the two.

"The first round, Zhuowen wins!"

The Silver Dragon General expressionlessly announced. His gaze fell on the remaining eight people, and he continued, "Next, Liu Long and Hanson!"

Zhuowen slowly walked down from the arena, and two youths walked out from the eight people below. They looked at each other, and both of them leaped onto the arena. Under the command of the Silver Dragon General, the battle began.

At this moment, the surrounding crowd was a little surprised. Originally, they had thought that the battle between Zhuo Wen and Wen Ao Xue would be a fierce battle.

But in the end, Wen Ao Xue was actually eliminated by Zhuowen with a single spear strike. This result was a huge contrast to what they had imagined.

Feng Yong, who was among the eight people, narrowed his eyes as he stared at Zhuowen's back. His expression began to turn serious. This Zhuowen did not seem as weak as he had imagined!

"Hmph!

No matter what, this Zhuowen is not likely to be a match for me. When we meet, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death! "

With a cold snort, Feng Yong no longer paid any attention to Zhuowen. He was very confident in his own strength. With his cultivation at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Stage and the Feng Family's unique secret technique, he believed that even if Zhuowen had grasped Spear Intent, it was unlikely that he would be a match for him.

The battle in the arena proceeded in an orderly manner. Soon, the first round of battles ended. Half of the ten people had been eliminated, and only five people were left.

These five people were Zhuowen, Feng Yong, Cao Yan, Liu Long, and Chen Xin. Among them, Liu Long and Chen Xin were geniuses from the imperial family and Icebound County respectively.

These two people were not very strong. They were only Ultimate Emperors, and were considered to be at the bottom of the five people.

The first round of battles in the other arenas also ended one after another. Lv Yitao, Luo Xing, and Qing Lian, whom Zhuowen was concerned about, had all smoothly advanced to the second round. As for the other geniuses from Muqin County, they had all been eliminated in the first round.

What was noteworthy was that the number three Grand Lily, number four Murong Zhan, number six Guo Sheng, and number ten Huangfu Wuji had all chosen to end the first round of battles by fighting one against nine.

They had fought against nine geniuses by themselves, and all four of them had won. In other words, after the first round had ended, the four of them had already stood out from the rest and smoothly obtained a spot in the top ten of the Azure Emperor List.

The Azure Emperor, who was standing on the high platform in the plaza, nodded in appreciation at the method the four of them had adopted.

However, compared to Huangfu Wudao's method of directly killing the Border General, there was still a gap between the four of them. After all, the Border General was a powerhouse at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. Only Huangfu Wudao could kill such a powerhouse; no one else could accomplish such a magnificent feat.

Currently, a total of five people had advanced to the top ten. They were Huangfu Wudao, Huangfu Wuji, Grand Lily, Murong Zhan, and Guo Sheng. At this time, the five of them had already been summoned back to the high platform by the Azure Emperor. They were silently watching the remaining five arenas below.

The second round soon began. There were five people left, so they had to draw lots. One of them would be given a bye, and the remaining four would fight in pairs.

After drawing lots, the bye was given to the eighth seeded contestant, Feng Yong.

Holding the bye bamboo stick, Feng Yong slowly walked to the side of the arena. As he passed by Zhuowen, he sneered in a low voice, "Little bastard, I'll let you be happy for a while. Once the group finals begin, your luck will come to an end."

"Whose luck is better than dog shit?

You can even draw a bye. Your good luck will be ended by me in the group finals, "Zhuo Wen retorted sarcastically.

Feng Yong narrowed his eyes and coldly snorted, "Then we'll see!

When the time comes, I'll make you kneel in front of me. "

After speaking, Feng Yong directly passed by Zhuowen and went to a corner. He quietly stared at Zhuowen's figure on the eighth arena, his eyes full of gloomy coldness.

"You two come up and fight!"

Feng Yong was given a bye. The Silver Dragon General pointed at Liu Long and Chen Xin in the arena and lightly said, "You two come up and fight first!"

Liu Long and Chen Xin's eyes flashed when they heard this. They nodded and jumped onto the arena, staring at each other.

Below the arena, Cao Yan, who had been silent, suddenly raised his foot and walked towards Zhuowen. He stood one meter away from Zhuowen and lightly said, "In our next fight, you forfeit!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Zhuowen narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Yan as if he was looking at an idiot. He indifferently replied, "You want me to forfeit?

Who do you think you are? "

Zhuowen's words immediately caused Cao Yan's face to darken. He coldly said, "Your name is Zhuowen. I know that. Moreover, your cultivation should be at the early stage of the ultimate seven-wheel emperor realm. Moreover, you've grasped spear intent.

"According to true battle strength, your strength should be comparable to the intermediate stage of the ultimate seven-wheel emperor realm. However, my strength has already reached the advanced stage of the ultimate seven-wheel emperor realm. I have the strength to fight Feng Yong, but you have no chance!"

Hearing this, Zhuowen sneered in his heart. He had already guessed Cao Yan's thoughts.

In Cao Yan's opinion, Zhuo Wen's strength was too weak and had no chance against Feng Yong. Moreover, Cao Yan's strength was very close to Feng Yong's. Feng Yong probably didn't want to exhaust too much essence force on Zhuo Wen.

After all, Cao Yan's cultivation was lower than Feng Yong's. If he used too much origin energy on Zhuowen, the loss would outweigh the gain. At that time, he wouldn't have much of a chance against Feng Yong. Therefore, Cao Yan wanted Zhuowen to forfeit.

"Have you thought it through?

I am the number one genius of the Cao Clan. There is no benefit in offending the Cao Clan, "Cao Yan said loftily.

In his opinion, Zhuowen was from Muqin County and came from a humble background. On the other hand, the Cao Clan was one of the five great clans and had great influence. He didn't believe that Zhuowen would risk offending the Cao Clan by rejecting him.
