C497 Unparalleled in the World

"The top 20 competition of First Edge General Assembly has officially begun. The first match, Chu Lih versus Leng Yu!"

Following the announcement of the grey-robed elder, Chu Lih, who was holding a broadsword, and a gloomy looking young man stepped onto the arena in front of the crowd.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be the one to step onto the arena in the first match. My luck is really good. "

Chu Lih waved the broadsword in his hand and said to himself with a smile.

The young man in blue opposite him was not so relaxed. He said with a trembling voice, "Young. . . Young prince. "

The young man in blue sighed in his heart. He had gone through so much trouble to make it into the top twenty. Before he could enjoy this hard-won honor, he had already encountered Chu Lih, who was known as the number one person in his generation. This was simply fate playing a joke on him!

Although he was able to stand on this stage today, it had already shown his strength to a certain extent. But what kind of person was Chu Lih? He was the number one person in the younger generation of the Imperial Family. He was also known as the genius swordsman of the Luoan's Seven Swords. He was not even eighteen years old. He had already reached the Peak Late Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage, and it was hard to find a worthy opponent amongst the younger generation. At the same time, he was extraordinarily brave, and he was able to carry a cauldron with his strength. That broadsword alone weighed at least three to four hundred jin, but in his hands, it was as light as a feather. He waved it casually. Ever since he got on the stage, No one had been able to withstand thirty rounds of attacks from him. It could be said that he was the opponent that every young man from the First Edge General Assembly was most unwilling to face. The fear they had for him was even greater than the Life Seizing Ghost Sword, Yeh Duhsing.

"There is no young prince or commoner on the arena. There are only opponents. Brother, you just need to use your full strength. When the time comes, whether you win or lose will be determined by others!"

Chu Lih held the broadsword with one hand and said lightly. From between his brows emitted a sense of righteousness, giving people a kind and friendly temperament, making it easy for people to have a favorable impression of him.

The blue clothed youth, who was originally uneasy, was slightly startled after hearing his words. He immediately dispelled all scruples and cupped his fists at him solemnly. "I have learned!"

Chu Lih did not mind and smiled. His expression suddenly became serious. "Then let us officially begin!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly moved. Like a golden arrow piercing through the sky, he instantly appeared in front of the blue-clothed youth. He swung the broadsword in his hand fiercely, with the momentum of splitting open mountains and collapsing rocks. His bright yellow noble robe was especially dazzling at this moment, and since the blue-clothed youth was able to stand here. . . Seeing this, he suddenly raised his Genuine Qi and leapt high into the air. The longsword lightly tapped on Chu Lih's broadsword, and instantly, he borrowed the rebounding force to float behind Chu Lih like a dragonfly touching the water. He stabbed out with extreme speed.

In the face of Chu Lih's fierce attack, the series of movements that the blue-clothed man made seemed simple, but his grasp of the timing was shockingly precise. Even Guxing, Yeh Duhsing, and the others could not help but have their eyes lit up. They were looking forward to what kind of response Chu Lih would take next.

"Ding!"

At this critical moment, Chu Lih quickly placed the broadsword behind his back. However, he didn't even look at it, because with the width of the broadsword, Instantly, the well-planned sword of the youth in blue stabbed into his broadsword. The blue-clothed youth's strength was naturally insufficient to pierce through the broadsword. The longsword in his hand was bent to an inconceivable degree. At the same time, Chu Lih suddenly charged backwards in this position. Immediately, the youth in blue was sent flying to the edge of the arena.

The young man in blue's expression changed again and again, but he was not willing to be controlled by Chu Lih just like that. Immediately, he forcefully lifted the Genuine Qi and lightly tapped on the pillar. Once again, he floated away like a swallow. At the same time, he gathered all the Genuine Qi in his body and pointed it at the tip of the sword. Countless dazzling lights burst out from the tip of the sword, and a man and a sword flew swiftly towards Chu Lih.

It had to be said that the young man in blue's Light-body Technique could be said to be unparalleled under the heavens. His cultivation base was only at the Mid Period of Spirit Cultivating Stage, but he was still able to survive under Chu Lih's constant attacks. All he relied on was his brilliant movement technique, and at the same time, his mind was nimble. He was good at scheming. Every time he attacked, He grasped the timing perfectly. He could be considered a rare talent. The eyes of the few elders from the four great clans lit up. Clearly, they had the intention to recruit him.

The corner of Chu Lih's mouth was slightly lifted when he faced the young man in blue's breathtaking sword attack. Before he could do anything, his figure suddenly disappeared from the scene.

"So fast!"

This was the true thought of everyone, including Guxing.

The young man in blue only saw the figure in front of him disappear like a ghost. His accumulated strength hit empty air. Right at this moment, the sound of air being torn suddenly came from behind him. The young man in blue had a bad feeling. He subconsciously turned his head, only to see a broadsword gradually enlarging in his field of vision.

"It's over. . . "

Knowing that there was no way to retreat, the blue-clothed youth bitterly closed his eyes. However, the bloody scene that he imagined did not happen. The blue-clothed youth slowly opened his eyes. He discovered that a broadsword was quietly parked in front of him, just a little finger away. He was afraid that he would die on the spot today. When he thought of this. . . A deep fear welled up in his heart.

"I lost. . . " A complicated expression appeared on the blue clothed youth's face. Immediately, he bowed deeply towards Chu Lih and said, "Many thanks to the young prince for not killing me!"

Chu Lih nodded slightly and said with a smile. "In this battle, the movement technique that brother displayed can be said to be unparalleled under the heavens. Now that you've lost to me, it's only because your cultivation is inferior. There's no need to belittle yourself. With brother's talent, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future. "

"Young prince, you are flattering me. Leng Yu really does not deserve it!" Leng Yu was originally a youth from the countryside. He did not have a powerful background, nor did he have an illustrious stance. He was able to hold on until this round entirely because he usually only focused on his hard work and did not dare to slack off at all. It could be said that he knew nothing about the ways of the world. He truly had a pure personality. How could he withstand Chu Lih's praise? He immediately pushed him away with a red face.

"Haha!" Chu Lih's favorable impression of him increased greatly upon seeing this. The intention to recruit him could no longer be concealed. He vowed solemnly, "There is a saying that we will become friends if we do not fight. Today's battle. . . Brother Leng and I are very compatible. If Brother Leng doesn't mind, then. . . How about joining my Imperial Family? Although it can't guarantee wealth and honor, A good man. I will serve my country and kill the barbarians. As long as my royal family is still around, we will never let our heroes be useless! "

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Lih's words could be said to be righteous and awe-inspiring. Ordinary hot-blooded young people would not be able to resist it, not to mention that he had just spared his life. No matter how one looked at it, the possibility of this young man named Leng Yu rejecting him was very small.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Leng Yu did not hesitate and resolutely nodded his head in agreement. "Alright!"

"Haha, then I'll have to ask Brother Leng for guidance in the future!" Chu Lih was in a good mood when he saw him agree. He cupped his fists and said.

"Thank you for your respect, young prince. In the future, Leng Yu will definitely do his best for the Imperial Family. He will not hesitate to go through fire and water!" Leng Yu said.

"Sigh, it's not for the Imperial Family. It should be for the millions of citizens of Great Chu. They are the true masters of this land. " Chu Lih said with a heavy tone.

Leng Yu was slightly startled when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have learned my lesson!"

Chu Lih smiled and did not speak.
