Chapter 737

Bending the Law for Personal Gain

Zhuowen stood quietly in the center of the arena while Cao Yan was lifted off the ground like a little chick. His face was red and his eyes were filled with grievance.

Cao Yan, who was ranked tenth on the Azure Emperor Leaderboard and was at the advanced stage of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm, was a lofty and unreachable existence to many people.

Yet now, he was being held by Zhuo Wen in such a humiliating manner without being able to resist at all.

Silence. The surroundings of the entire arena had descended into a deathly silence that could not be hidden. Everyone's gazes were fixed on the arena where the figure standing proudly with Cao Yan in his hand was. The shock in their eyes was just like a tsunami as it spread outwards.

"The number one genius of the Cao Family, Cao Yan, is being lifted by Zhuowen just like that?"

One of the people in the square licked his dry lips. His eyes were already filled with shock. The expressions of the people around him were not much better than this person.

Feng Yong, who had been leaning against a stone pillar, suddenly stood up. His eyes narrowed as he stared at Zhuowen. He said in a low voice, "Zhuowen has also reached the peak of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm?"

At this moment, the aura surging out of Zhuowen's body was like a monstrous tsunami. It spread throughout the entire arena, and the huge bluestone arena beneath his feet began to buzz and tremble. It seemed like it would not be able to hold on any longer.

This aura was not any weaker than Feng Yong's. Zhuowen had also broken through to the peak of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm.

"How can he be so fast?

This kid was only at the initial stage of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm three months ago. It has only been three months, but he has already reached the peak of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm. "Feng Yong's lips quivered as he finally spat out these words.

If Zhuowen was still at the initial stage of the Seven-wheel Emperor Realm, he would have a 655% chance of winning against Zhuowen. However, Zhuowen had improved too quickly. His cultivation was already on par with his. Furthermore, he had the terrifying Spear Will.

Feng Yong knew that Zhuowen, who possessed Spear Intent and whose cultivation was not weak, had become extremely difficult to deal with for him. Now, Feng Yong even had a trace of hesitation. The outcome of his fight with Zhuowen had already become unknown.

On the high platform, Huangfu Wuji and Grand Lily's pupils shrank at the same time. Zhuowen had suddenly erupted with the strength of a peak Seven Wheel Emperor; this was beyond their expectations.

"Cao Yan has lost!"

Guo Sheng crossed his arms across his chest, glancing behind him at the ugly complexions of Huangfu Wuji and Grant Lily.

Murong Zhan's feminine face revealed a rare look of contemplation. He looked at Zhuowen with a strange gaze.

Huangfu Wudao still looked straight ahead, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if nothing could move him and make him open his eyes to pay attention.

Behind the high platform, there was still a long and narrow table with fine wine placed on it. Within the throne room, there were constantly young and beautiful maids carrying trays of delicious food.

In the center, the Azure Emperor sat silently. The other powerful beings also sat in other positions on the table. The lords of the eight large counties sat on the left side of the table, while the five family heads of the Imperial Capital County and the Azure Dragon Branch Palace Master sat on the right side. At a glance, there were nearly 75 people.

Almost all of the powerful beings on the table were Four Revered Sovereigns. They represented the most respected peak powerhouses in the entire Qing Xuan Empire.

Cao Yan's defeat was naturally seen by these powerful beings. Sitting on the right side of the table was a short old man. His sharp gaze gradually darkened, and his expression turned ugly.

This short old man was the current head of the Cao family, Cao Zhi. His strength was extremely terrifying, and he was also a Four Revered Sovereigns powerhouse.

"Cao Zhi!

It seems that your Cao Yan's cultivation is not up to par. He actually lost to a genius from another county. "

Sitting beside Cao Zhi was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes. At this moment, this middle-aged man spoke in a mocking tone.

"Feng Tian!

Don't be complacent too early. It won't be that easy for your Feng Yong to defeat this Zhuowen.

Moreover, I heard that your Feng family's genius is called Feng Xiang. He was killed by this Zhuowen, right? "

"As the head of the Feng family, your family's genius was killed, and the murderer is now at large. As the head of the Feng family, you're nothing much, huh?"

Cao Zhi was not to be outdone. He mocked and ridiculed, causing Feng Tian's expression to gradually turn gloomy.

"You don't have to worry about this. Our Feng family's people are not so easy to kill. I will definitely not let this kid leave the Imperial Capital alive. It's just that the time is not right yet," Feng Tian said indifferently.

In the arena, Zhuowen lifted Cao Yan with his right hand. His gaze was cold and emotionless. He said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and apologize to me, and I'll let you go."

Cao Yan's gaze was filled with shock and anger. He was shocked that Zhuowen was so powerful. He was angry that this kid actually lifted him off the ground in such an impudent manner, and even asked him to kneel down and apologize to him. How could he do such a humiliating thing?

"Zhuowen!

I'm the son of the first wife of the Cao family. What do you dare to do to me? "

Cao Yan still did not believe that Zhuowen would dare to kill him. After all, he had the colossal Cao family behind him. If Zhuowen killed him, then the final result would only be a fight to the death.

"Are you still trying to show off your family background?

In my opinion, other than being able to use your family background to suppress others, you're a complete and utter piece of trash. I don't care what your Cao family is like.

You only have two choices now. Either kneel down and apologize, or die. "

As he spoke, Zhuowen increased the strength of his right hand. Cao Yan could not help but roll his dead fish eyes and cough continuously. His originally arrogant gaze was now replaced by shock and fear.

This Zhuowen really planned to kill him, and was not just talking about it.

"Little bastard!

Let Cao Yan go, and you win this round. "

Cao Zhi, who was sitting on the table, naturally saw Cao Yan's strange state clearly. Especially when he saw that Zhuowen not only did not let Cao Yan go, but also increased the strength of his grip. This made Cao Zhi both shocked and furious.

This Zhuowen did not know how to appreciate kindness. Could it be that he still wanted to kill Cao Yan?

"Cao family head, aren't you meddling too much?

Elders like you can't casually interfere in this arena battle. "Holding Cao Yan, Zhuowen tilted his head and looked at Cao Zhi who was on the high platform, and said coldly.

"You …"

Cao Zhi's face changed slightly. Where did this Zhuowen get the courage to speak to him like this? Cao Zhi's lungs were about to explode from anger.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhuowen and Cao Zhi were talking, a sound of something breaking through the air suddenly swept out from the arena and flew directly towards Zhuowen.

"Hmm?"

Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of an ominous feeling rose in his heart. The sound of something breaking through the air was too fast, and Zhuowen only had time to use the Nirvana Vairocana. His body became golden and as hard as iron and stone.

Boom!

Just as he used the Nirvana Vairocana, the sound of something breaking through the air was already whistling in Zhuowen's ears. A strong wind had already enveloped Zhuowen's entire body.

Ding!

A sound of metal clashing suddenly resounded. The sound of something breaking through the air instantly blasted Zhuowen's chest. The terrifying power almost caused Zhuowen to retreat continuously, and he also let go of Cao Yan in his hand. He could not even take care of himself.

Boom!

Finally, he stomped on the edge of the arena, and cracks appeared on the ground at the edge of the arena. Zhuowen finally stopped his body.

At the same time, Zhuowen finally saw that the thing that had blasted his chest was actually a huge shining halberd. Waves of terrifying pressure flowed out from the halberd.

Wah!

A mouthful of blood suddenly spat out, and Zhuowen knelt on one knee on the ground. His gaze was gloomy as he stared at the figure before him, and he said in a low and cold voice, "Feng Yong, you're really despicable and shameless."

This shining halberd was precisely shot out by Feng Yong. Feng Yong took advantage of the gap between Zhuowen and Cao Zhi to take the initiative to launch a sneak attack. Zhuowen was utterly caught off guard, and Feng Yong actually drilled through empty air.

Below the arena, Feng Yong's eyes narrowed, and his expression was slightly surprised. The halberd he shot out was a top-grade earth-rank Spirit Treasure, yet it was actually unable to pierce through Zhuowen's body. It could be seen that Zhuowen's body was extraordinarily tough.

Swoosh!

Feng Yong suddenly flashed onto the arena and said indifferently, "There's no rule in the group stage that only those who fight in the arena must fight. It's completely reasonable for me to make a move. Could it be that you have some objections?"

As soon as Feng Yong's words came out, the rest of the people in the square began to discuss spiritedly. They all looked at Feng Yong with a trace of disdain, but no one spoke out.

Not to mention the strength of the Feng Clan behind Feng Yong, Feng Yong's words weren't without reason. There were indeed no rules in the group stage, and everything was decided by the general presiding over the arena.

This was similar to how Ge Lanyi, Guo Sheng, and the others chose to fight one against nine to obtain a spot in the top ten of the Azure Emperor Rankings. The rules were flexible and flexible.

However, Zhuowen and Cao Yan's battle hadn't ended, and Zhuowen was in a relaxed state when he was talking to Cao Zhi. It was indeed a little unreasonable for Feng Yong to suddenly make a move.

"He's breaking the rules, right?"

Zhuowen's eyes were gloomy. He had finally witnessed Feng Yong's shamelessness. He turned his head and stared at the Silver Dragon General, who was standing at the edge of the arena without saying a word.

"Feng Yong is right. There's no rule in the group stage that participants below the arena can't make a move. You were careless, so you can't blame others."

The Silver Dragon General's voice was indifferent. He was actually openly supporting Feng Yong's nonsense.

Zhuowen's face instantly turned gloomy. The Silver Dragon General's words actually supported Feng Yong's sneak attack just now. This made Zhuowen's heart turn cold.

The smile on Feng Yong's face deepened. Others might not know, but he knew that the Silver Dragon General was a member of the Feng Clan. Therefore, the Silver Dragon General had deliberately come to the eighth arena to preside over the competition so that Feng Yong wouldn't have to worry about entering the top ten of the Azure Emperor Rankings.

Crack!

On the table, Lü Hantian suddenly crushed the wine cup in his hand. His eyes were incomparably cold as he said indifferently, "Your Majesty, the Silver Dragon General is bending the law for personal gain. Feng Yong even openly launched a sneak attack. Are you not going to do anything about it?"

The Azure Emperor's expression was calm and indifferent from the beginning until the end. He looked at Lü Hantian, who didn't look too good, and said, "There are no rules or restrictions in the arena this time. Everything depends on the performance of the participants."

"The so-called bending the law for personal gain and the so-called sneak attack are all the same to me!

As long as you can stand until the end, you are the winner, no matter what method you use!

I only look at the results, not the process. It's useless for you to say all this to me! "

"If you're worried about Zhuowen, you can ask him to forfeit."

The Azure Emperor didn't say anything else. He slowly sipped his wine with a smile on his face.
