C30 Lengchuan

Lian Chengyu watched Hong Ling walk down the battle stage with a pleasantly surprised expression. He did not expect that Hong Ling, a cultivator who was only at the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, would actually be able to charge into the top ten.

had heard of Zhang Yao before, although he was from a side branch of the Zhang family, his strength was extremely tyrannical, and was only one level lower than Zhang Huang, the number one seed of the Zhang family. Now, Hong Ling could actually defeat him directly, which meant that this person had the strength to threaten someone at the Great Circle of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

With regards to his side being able to have three people entering the top ten, Lian Chengyu was already very happy. He turned around and looked at the three families, other than the Zhou family having three people, the rest of the ten thousand families and Zhang family only had two people each.

Amongst the ten cultivators, Zhihuo was the only one with a late stage Essence Refinement into Qi on the scene, while Hong Ling and the remaining four cultivators were all at the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

This was an unbelievable scene. Even the late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators of the three great families were unable to enter the top ten, yet these mid stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators actually occupied half of the quota.

Two of the late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators they had sent out were directly defeated by Zhihuo, while the other one was actually defeated by Hong Ling, a cultivator who was at the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, which caused them to lose face.

Luckily, one of the cultivators at the late stage of Essence Refinement into Qi had already been wasted by Wan Hong, otherwise, they would not be able to take down their pride.

"The third round of the drawing of lots will begin now!"

Hong Ling stood up, and at the same time, Zhihuo and Lian Chengyue stepped down from the stage. On the other side, the three great families had also arrived together. Both sides had fierce looks in their eyes.

Amongst them, the one that landed the most on Hong Ling was a small cultivator in the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

"Kid, you better pray that you don't run into me. Otherwise, I won't mind crippling you in public!"

The few people behind him all looked at him with ridicule in their eyes. Everyone knew that this brat had truly angered the three great families, and now, the three great families were truly falling out with him, and were going to fight him directly.

"Idiot!" Hong Ling casually said, and no longer paid any attention to them.

He randomly picked a lot. It was lot number four. The youth held the bamboo stick in his hand and released the soul power from the Divine Court. Suddenly, his expression turned strange.

The three of them sat down once again and Hong Ling placed the bamboo lot in his hand in front of Lian Chengyu. She took out a bamboo lot and placed it in front of Lian Chengyu as well, another number four.

"How can this be!"

Lian Chengyue's face did not look good. She had seen Hong Ling's battle with Zhang Yao earlier, she knew that she was stronger than Zhang Yao, but against Hong Ling, she was not sure if she could win.

"Miss Lian Cheng, it looks like the two of us are going to have a fierce battle!"

Hong Ling laughed bitterly, he knew that Lian Chengyue was very strong, stronger than Zhang Yao. However, at this last moment, none of them wanted to take the initiative to retreat, they were all similarly proud people, no one would take the initiative to retreat on the road of martial arts.

"Sir Hong Ling, I know you are very strong, but I will definitely not give in!"

Lian Chengyue's tone was a little cold. After she said these words, she no longer paid attention to the people present and directly closed her eyes to rest, ignoring the currently awkward faces of Hong Ling and Lian Chengyu.

Lian Chengyu coughed dryly, as he looked at Hong Ling with a helpless expression while spreading his arms wide. In fact, compared to Lian Chengyue, he looked more favorably at Hong Ling, why would he be so proud of his own younger cousin? He naturally did not want to offend anyone.

Hong Ling's own talent and strength is obvious to all, and Lian Chengyue himself is not bad either, forget it, Lian Chengyu let out a long sigh, let the two of them compete for it, I will not bother with it anymore.

None of the cultivators from the three families that were at the peak of Essence Refinement into Qi met each other, nor did they meet Zhihuo. It was as if someone had made the arrangements beforehand to keep the four experts at the end.

Zhihuo's bamboo stick was number three, and her opponent was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi. She had already admitted defeat beforehand, and now, it was finally Hong Ling's turn to fight with Lian Chengyue.

Lian Chengyue and Hong Ling were both cultivators who used the sword. By the time Lian Chengyue stepped onto the battle stage, Hong Ling had already stood firmly, but there was nothing in his hands.

"Do you look down on me that much? Not even taking a sword? "

The young girl's tone was extremely cold as she stared fixedly at the youth before her that was even younger than her. Her chest was filled with rage.

Hong Ling smiled and rubbed his nose. He never thought that Lian Chengyue would actually throw a tantrum. Indeed, the young miss of a noble family was really temperamental, and wasn't someone that he could afford to offend.

"Miss Lian Cheng, I think you must have misunderstood me. It's not that I don't want to take the sword, but the sword I want to use is really too much!"

As the youth finished speaking, his pupils contracted and an invisible soul power fluctuation instantly spread out from his body. Weng, the countless longswords on the weapons racks all around the battle stage started to tremble.

Without turning back, Hong Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed behind him.

"Sword, come!"

Keng, dozens of sharp steel swords cut through the air and rose to the sky, slowly floating in front of Hong Ling.

Under the power of the battle stage, Lian Chengyu instantly stood up, his eyes were filled with shock. He was a genius who had comprehended sword intent, and through this move of Hong Ling's, what he could see far surpassed what others could see.

"Sword intent, it is directly produced from within every sword, and then used one's own will to drive these steel swords. Hong Ling, how did he do it, he's too abnormal!"

Not just Lian Chengyu, even the patriarchs of the three great families, as well as the four deacons guarding the battle stage were all staring at Hong Ling with shining eyes. As matters stood, even fools knew that this young man had already comprehended the legendary sword intent, and had even learned a sword kinesis technique.

"Investigate. Investigate carefully. We must find out the identity of this young man!"

Those who were able to use the Sword Manipulation were no small matter. Even they, without knowing Hong Ling's background, would not dare to offend someone like him.

Everyone stared at Hong Ling, their eyes blazing with passion, if they could bring this brat back to their clan with them, they would have to learn a new way of controlling the sword, but, although they thought about it well, the reality was cruel.

"Humph!" Canfeng let out a cold snort. The icy cold Authentic Qi s that followed the circulation of the《 Heavenly Bite Method》 spread out, and the pressure of the Celestial Rank cultivation technique instantly spread out to the entire area below the stage.

"A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refinement into Spirit. That is that white-clothed youth's servant!" Everyone was shocked, "He's just a middle stage Qi Refinement into Spirit cultivator, how can he have such a strong pressure, it's as if he's a primordial beast!"

The three patriarchs stared at Canfeng at the moment, their faces were filled with shock. This was because the Authentic Qi in their bodies, when it came into contact with Canfeng's aura, had actually paused for a moment.

"This guy is not to be trifled with!" The three great families looked at each other and could see the fear in each other's eyes.

Hong Ling, however, did not think about everything that had just happened. At this moment, he was carefully comprehending every sword in front of him, the soul energy in the Divine Hall was being consumed unceasingly.

Lian Chengyue suppressed the fear in her heart, and with a shout, she released a fiery red Sword Qi. She trained in a fire attribute middle stage cultivation technique, although it was not as powerful as the âFire Beacon City ', it could be considered a top tier cultivation technique within the Tianhuang City.

With a thought from Hong Ling, all the Authentic Qi in his body gushed out of his acupoints and entered the densely packed longswords in front of him.

All the swords released a sharp sword Qi. They intertwined with each other, instantly forming a storm of sword Qi.

When Lian Chengyue's blazing sword beam collided with the storm, it instantly shattered. She was unwilling to give up, so she gritted her teeth as the longsword in her hand instantly danced in the air.

"Hong Ling, I admit that your Imperial Sword Technique is very strong, but, I will never admit defeat. Breaking Dawn! Break for me! "

Lian Chengyu immediately stood up, looking at Lian Chengyue's figure in the arena, his eyes filled with anger.

"Nonsense, Yue'er, is she crazy? The light of dawn, this kind of martial skill, is not something that a mere late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivator like her can use. Furthermore, is she going to fight Hong Ling to the death!?"

Even though it is not comparable to an Earth Ranked Martial Technique, it is still far more than a piece of a top grade Profound Ranked Martial Technique. If not for the fact that this little girl and that young man used City Lord's Mansion together, I would have thought that they are mortal enemies! "

The Patriarchs of the three great families couldn't help but speak up as they watched the scene with interest.

, who was present, was also feeling very uncomfortable. He did not expect that after Lian Chengyue's one strike had no effect, he would actually use such a big move.

From his perception, all of the Authentic Qi in Lian Chengyue's body surged into the space around her, like a ball of blazing flames. Her sword energy was also combusted, as it rushed into the flames.

However, this was not the important point. The important point was that within this ball of flames, Hong Ling could feel traces of sword intent.

Hong Ling finally understood why Lian Chengyu was able to successfully comprehend the sword intent. This technique contained a sword intent to begin with, and was even more profound than the Fire Burst Spell he had obtained before.

However, now was not the time to think about such things. The flames Lian Chengyue brandished out congealed into a ball of cloud that blocked Hong Ling's line of sight, and even his soul power was affected.

The youth was greatly shocked. His soul power had always been one of his trump cards, but now it had actually been distorted. This caused him to be moved.

"It looks like Lian Chengyue is really strong!"

Hong Ling said silently in the bottom of his heart. Inside his Divine Palace, a dark golden Primordial Spirit Clone formed in an instant.

The blazing fiery clouds collided with the violent storm of sword energy, and with a boom, it was as though thunder had struck the ground, as a powerful shockwave instantly spread out on the battle stage s in all directions.

Sizzle sizzle. Two sword Qis shot out explosively from the mixed flows of the Primal Chaos and went straight for Hong Ling's throat. The young man smiled, he formed a sword with his finger and with a light tap, broke the two sword Qis that were hiding a bit of sword intent.

When the red glow dispersed, Lian Chengyue stood quietly inside her battle stage, her entire body was surrounded by the buzzing sound of her sharp sword. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, laughed bitterly, and turned to leave the stage.

"You win!"

Looking at her figure, Hong Ling couldn't help but feel a little unwilling. But once he thought that this was a competition, he relaxed a little. The world of cultivators is originally so cruel, and even he is powerless to change anything, as long as he has a clear conscience.

"City Lord's Mansion, Hong Ling wins!"

expressionlessly walked down the battle stage and sat down again.
