Chen Yao's sudden appearance caused the atmosphere in the field to reach a climax. The cheers of the sword faction service disciples had completely submerged everything.

In the eyes of these service disciples, even Sect Master Luo Tian was not as important as Chen Yao.

Under the cheers of the crowd, Chen Yao walked onto the stage.

Then, she cast her gaze at Chen Yao. Feeling her gaze, Chen Yao felt a little embarrassed. After all, last time, Lan Xin had forced him to marry her. Now, it was a little awkward for him to meet her.

However, he was, after all, in front of others. Thus, Chen Yao pretended to be very calm and smiled at Lan Xin in response to her gaze.

Yang Qi, who was standing beside Lan Xin, lightly patted her arm and whispered.

"You and Chen Yao are having an eye contact. Is there something going on between you two? Did you join hands to trap me with the Fire Dragon Gloves?"

Lan Xin glared viciously at Yang Qi before turning back to look at Chen Yao with an affectionate expression.

"..."

"Everyone, please come forward."

In front of them was a container that could only fit one hand, and in the container were twenty small wooden tablets, each in two pairs, with one to ten numbers written on it.

If you draw the same number, it becomes a group fight.

Everyone already knew the rules, so they all stepped forward to draw their wooden tablets.

Soon, all the wooden tablets had been drawn.

The wooden sign in Chen Yao's hand had a single word written on it.

The sealings on the wooden board were also the order in which the contestants would fight each other.

The wooden signboard in Chen Yao's hand had one written on it, thus, it naturally meant that Chen Yao would be the first to appear.

Holding the wooden token in his hand, Chen Yao revealed a playful smile. The method of drawing the lots seemed to be the most immediate and fair way, but with the skill of the Liu Family, they would definitely make a move. If nothing went wrong, his first opponent would be the overweeningly arrogant Tyrant Sword Liu Kuang.

The Liu Family wanted Liu Kuang to defeat them ruthlessly and get back the Liu Family's face. However, they had no choice but to be disappointed.

"Now, take the wooden board in your hand to register yourself and arrange for the competition."

Zhao Gongming's voice sounded once again.

Due to Chen Yao's first draw, he was the first to walk forward and walk to Zhao Gongming's side. He lightly nodded his head and said.

"Sorry for the trouble, Elder Zhao."

Zhao Gongming also nodded.

"Although he's the first one to fight, there shouldn't be too much pressure on him."

Chen Yao nodded and did not say anything.

"Who else drew the number one wooden tablet?"

Zhao Gongming asked the crowd.

A disciple at the fifth level of the King's realm quietly moved towards Liu Kuang's position. Then, he held onto Liu Kuang's hands and quickly let them go. It was only a short moment and it did not attract anyone's attention.

However, Chen Yao, who had been paying close attention to Liu Kuang, noticed it. Using his brain, he could imagine what happened when the two of them shook hands.

Sure enough, Liu Kuang quickly walked out of the crowd and walked in front of Zhao Gongming. He handed over the wooden token in his hand. A big word was written on it.

Then, he looked at Chen Yao with an evil grin.

"Chen Yao, I can't believe it. Enemies are bound by a narrow path, but the two of us will be fighting in the first round. Don't worry, I won't defeat you in a short while. I will only humiliate you slowly and let you know the tragic ending of provoking my Liu Family."

Everything was as Chen Yao expected.

Chen Yao did not respond to Liu Kuang's challenge first. Instead, he turned his gaze toward the viewing platform. Liu Hai was sitting there, looking at Chen Yao with a smile on his face. It was as if he was saying, Chen Yao, just you wait for death.

Chen Yao smiled coldly at Liu Hai before turning his head to look at Liu Kuang.

"Originally, I wanted to give Liu Hong face. Even if you find trouble with me time and time again and provoke me, I also planned to let you go. However, now that you've brought yourself here to die, don't blame me."

Chen Yao's tone was very cold, very cold, and extremely calm.

This kind of reaction caused Liu Kuang to be slightly dazed. According to his calculations, when Chen Yao found out that he was his opponent, he must have been feeling a little panicked.

But now, Chen Yao was actually so calm. He was a peak Martial King expert, one of the ten great swordsmen of the sword faction. This kind of behavior from Chen Yao clearly showed that he didn't care about him. This made the proud and arrogant Liu Kuang even more infuriated.

"Chen Yao, I will definitely make you wish you were dead."

Liu Kuang roared hysterically.

She shook her head helplessly and mumbled to herself.

"This Liu Kuang is at the peak of the Martial King realm and has a Superior Grade Earth Ranked sword. Unfortunately, his mental state is too poor. With just a few words from Chen Yao, he managed to infuriate him. What kind of person is this?"

As for Chen Yao and Liu Kuang's match, she was relieved. As far as she was concerned, the focus of this match wasn't whether or not Chen Yao would be able to defeat Liu Kuang. What was important was the number of moves Chen Yao would use to defeat Liu Kuang.

Everyone followed the sequence and left the arena, leaving only Chen Yao and Liu Kuang standing on the stage. The defensive array had also been activated, completely covering the entire arena. Otherwise, the aftermath of the battle would have injured the spectators outside.

"Chen Yao, you have finally fallen into my hands. Today, I can finally legitimately beat you up."

"You are not the first one to go against my Liu Family, but do you know where the people before you went?

I tell you, they're all dead. "

Liu Kuang believed that his victory was within his grasp, which was why he was extremely arrogant.

"I only need one move to kill you."

Chen Yao's tone could be said to be extremely cold and overbearing to the extreme.

"Hahaha."

Hearing Chen Yao's words, many of the Liu Family's support couldn't help but laugh out loud. They all thought Chen Yao had lost his mind. He actually dared to say something as boastful as killing a peak Martial King cultivator with a powerful sword skill.

Although everyone had a faint feeling that Chen Yao would possibly surpass his limits and defeat Liu Kuang, even if such a minuscule possibility had appeared, Chen Yao would still have suffered a miserable victory and had to pay an enormous price. Yet, Chen Yao actually dared to say that he had killed Liu Kuang in one move.

"I'm really looking forward to it."

While everyone was still hesitating, Liu Kuang was the first to strike out with his sword.

"You want to kill me with one strike? Then I'll kill you with one strike."

Liu Kuang leaped high into the air, gripping his greatsword tightly in both hands as he slashed down at Chen Yao.

"Huh?"

Chen Yao raised his head to look at this enormous sword. The corners of his mouth revealed a mocking smile. He did not draw his sword, but only silently watched as that massive sword descended towards him.
