Chapter 154: Blue Luan versus the Fire Phoenix

Xiang Hu, Lin Mu, and Fang Han had been eliminated. There was only Chu Tian, Feng Caidie, and Feng Yuntian left.

It was once again Chu Tian's turn to fight.

"Stage number three, Yun Xiao versus Lu Ren!"

What?

Yun Xiao?

Chu Tian was speechless!

Yun Xiao's eyes turned white as he almost fainted on the spot. God dammit, even drinking water would block his teeth. He had to go up against his master this round.

Yun Xiao did not even think about it before raising his hand.

"I give up!"

The crowd immediately went into an uproar!

What was he doing?

Yun Xiao was one of the favoured seeds in this Great Games. He had just developed his reputation not that long ago with his Three Lightning Blades which even an 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator couldn't necessarily block.

The result was.

This fellow admitted his defeat before he even fought!

"Bastard!"

"You coward!"

"I spent money betting on you!"

Everyone began to shout out insults.

Yun Xiao disdainfully clicked his tongue and thought that these idiots didn't understand anything!

Yun Tianhe only shook his head when he saw this, but he did not blame him!

Yun Xiao followed Chu Tian off the stage, "Boss, I did not hesitated to help you hide your true strength, but I've suffered quite a bit of physical and mental trauma. You have to compensate me for my mental loss."

"Are you suffering any mental loss?" Chu Tian gave a pei sound, "You're afraid of people scolding you with your thick skin?"

How could you say this?

I still have my dignity!

Yun Xiao did not have a chance to say anything before a strong voice rang out, "First Stage, Feng Caidie versus Nangong Yun!"

Feng Caidie versus Nangong Yun?

Yun Xiao's eyes lit up, "Elder sister is about to compete! We have to see this match! Boss, let's go!"

Feng Caidie and Nangong Yun, they were equally shocking.

They were both at the peak of the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer and were both country destroying beauties that were around nineteen years old this year. This was a match that attracted countless people's attentions!

Feng Caidie had been treated as waste by the people of Central State City for a long time, but in just a short period of time, Feng Caidie's innate blocked meridian was suddenly cured. Her cultivation increased by leaps, jumping to the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer in one fell swoop.

Her father was the Divine Wind Marquis, Feng Yuntian!

The people of Central State City all knew that Feng Yuntian treated his daughter like a treasure. When he had learned of Feng Caidie's blocked meridian, he did not hesitate to use all kinds of strong pills on her and even using self harming techniques to help raise Feng Caidie's cultivation. In terms of cultivation techniques, he had done his all to teach her.

After Feng Caidie's body had been healed, she had immediately awoken the Blue Luan Source Spirit. The top class cultivation techniques she had practiced for years had increased her strength by leaps and bounds, letting her bloom splendidly and sweeping away all the other competitors in yesterday's competition.

She had not reached the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, but she had the ability to fight Luo Jinshi and the others!

Because of this, Feng Caidie was one of the competitors with potential.

People did not know much about Nangong Yun. They only knew that she was the top ranker of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard and the strongest new student in the history of Central State Academy. She had even stopped Yun Xiao's Three Lightning Blades without moving at all. This kind of strength had made everyone acknowledge her!

The most remarkable thing was.

Nangong Yun had the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit, which was a God Level Source Spirit. Just based on the strength of one's source spirit, Nangong Yun's was higher than anyone else in Central State Academy!

She came from one of the kingdom's Three Great Families, the Nangong Family and practiced the «Burning the Heaven Art» cultivation technique, which was one of the strongest techniques in the Southern Summer Country.

With all this, no one dared to underestimate Nangong Yun!

This was truly a fight that people could anticipate!

They jumped onto the stage.

Nangong Yun was completely covered in red. With short pants and a short shirt, she was dressed in a bold and hot manner. Her long jade legs was visible as well as a pair of thin and white arms that was like white jade. Her chest towered high up and while it could not compare with the young miss, it was still full and firm, leaving a single deep gap. Her beautiful flame red haired hung down like a horse's tail, with a few loose strands covering her cheeks. Overall, her body felt like it was on fire, beautiful and wild.

Feng Caidie on the other hand was dressed in a long robe, tightly wrapping around her body. Her clothes were embroidered with jade silk making her look like a beautiful princess. Her jet black hair hung down from her shoulders like a waterfall, almost reaching her waist, but it was perfectly tidy. Her beautiful face had a smile on it that was not cold or warm, making her seem very gentle. This was an aloof, but very friendly princess.

Too beautiful!

This was an attack on their eyes!

Two beautiful women who were also top experts!

Feng Caidie knew that Nangong Yun was strong, so she did not hesitate at all. Her hand moved down to her waist and a treasure sword sparkled as it was slowly pulled out.

The moment the sword was drawn.

A gust of wind blew through the peaceful arena!

"Named Sword 'Divine Wind'!"

"It's the Divine Wind Marquis' Divine Wind Sword!"

"This is a high quality soul item! It's already half a step from Soul Contracting!"

The four family heads and the Mayor were all shocked. This sword was used by the Divine Wind Marquis when he was younger and was famous throughout the Southern Summer Country, having been used to kill several spirit beast chiefs.

The Divine Wind Marquis had passed his sword onto his daughter!

Chu Tian stared at the Divine Wind Sword while feeling shocked in his heart. In terms of quality, the Netherworld Sword was higher than the Divine Wind Sword as a Soul Contracting Weapon, but the Netherworld Sword had been neglected for too long and now it was weakened. Even though he had bought the Elemental Source Stone, it still had not recovered to its peak and did not have its previous invincible strength.

This Divine Wind Sword's power was not inferior to the Netherworld Sword's!

When Feng Caidie was still in the Body Refinement Realm, she had still used the high level spirit weapon, the autumn water sword. It wasn't because the Divine Wind Marquis did not want to give her a better weapon, rather it was because with her strength, she would not have been able to use its might even if she had a better weapon.

Now he had even given her the top class soul weapon, the Divine Wind Sword. It was clear how high his expectations for Feng Caidie were.

The Divine Wind Marquis hoped that his daughter would inherit his legacy!

"Fuck! This girl is so shameless!" Yun Xiao couldn't help calling out, "What skill is there in using this treasured sword! If she has skills, then she would fight elder sister head on!"

"Idiot!" Chu Tian directly slapped down on Yun Xiao's head, "The skills to have equipment is a part of one's strength! If you say it like this, then wouldn't it be cheap for me to use the Netherworld Sword while fighting you?"

Feng Caidie gripped the sparkling treasured sword in one hand while cupping her hands at Nangong Yun, "Young miss Nangong, if you please!"

Nangong Yun pursed her lips and said with the aura of a ruffian, "It's better if you go first! I'm afraid of being too harsh and hurting the Divine Wind Marquis' daughter!"

Feng Caidie had a very good nature. Revealing a faint smile, she was not angry at all, "Then I'll be making my move. Please be careful young miss Nangong!"

A bird's cry rang out!

Shaking the nine heavens!

As the Blue Luan was released, wild wind began to blow!

The arena was covered in a strong pressure.

The Blue Luan was a wind attributed saint beast, so Feng Caidie was also wind attributed, which was clearly inherited from the Divine Wind Marquis. Because it was a bird class source spirit, Feng Caidie had the ability to fly in the air. Jumping up, she soared into the sky and merged with the Blue Luan figure.

The Divine Wind Sword was brandished a few times.

The blue sword glow was continuously released, completely condensed, just like a storm. The sword let out a bird's cry, making the scene absolutely magnificent.

"This is the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song»!"

"It's the Divine Wind Marquis' unique cultivation technique!"

The Chu Family were all sword cultivators and when they saw this kind of strange technique, they could not help holding their breaths and watching with full attention. Even Chu Xinghe knitted his brows, which clearly showed that this sword technique had a special element to it.

"Flashy, but lacking in substance!"

Nangong Yun was not rushed because she was filled with confidence. When she saw that Feng Caidie's technique had condensed to its peak, she finally began to make her more.

Fiery red spirit energy filled the sky.

Just like a roaring spout of flame!

A clear phoenix cry rang out and the fiery red spirit energy opened up. The entire arena was covered in a red light, even the clouds were dyed red!

"Such terrifying spirit energy!"

"Nangong Yun's spirit energy is at least three times stronger than a normal person!"

"Is this the terrifying amplifying effect of the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit?"

The Four Great Family members all had frowns on their faces.

Feng Yun Tian revealed an expression of interest.

Feng Caidie had the same cultivation base as Nangong Yun, but in terms of spirit energy quantity and quality, Feng Caidie lost out to Nangong Yun.

After all, the Blue Luan could not compare to the Fire Phoenix.

The Blue Luan's spirit energy amplification ability was weaker.

The blue light coming from the Blue Luan had mostly dissipated. An ancient divine beast's pressure came forth and even if it was a saint beast like the Blue Luan facing the Fire Phoenix, it was still quite lacking.

Feng Caidie's Blue Luan Source Spirit was not inferior to Chu Xinghe's Golden Flood Dragon Sword!

But the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit was still a level higher!

Although a source spirit could not completely represent one's power, it still determined how strong a person could be. Having this kind of strong source spirit, even if Nangong Yun were lacking in everything else, how could she still be weak!

A Blue Luan and a Fire Phoenix, separated by the length of the stage.

Feng Caidie had made the first move and made her preparations already. With the top quality soul weapon in her head, she still had the advantage.

"First take one of my fists!"

Nangong Yun's long red hair danced in the wind as her right fist was covered in fist wind as it shot out like a hammer. The wind fiercely slammed into Feng Caidie and scattered a bit of the spirit energy Feng Caidie had condensed.

The entire arena shook.

Feng Caidie's body also shook. She had really underestimated Nangong Yun's destructive might. If Nangong Yun could come close to her, Feng Caidie would not have a chance of winning!

"Wind God of the Nine Heavens, lend me your wind. Enter my sword, the mighty power of the heavens!"

The Divine Wind Sword was pointed out.

The blue spirit energy sent out several streaks of sword qi.

Dozen streaks of blue concentrated sword qi formed dozens of blue streaks in the air. They surrounded Feng Caidie's body while moving at a speed hard to see with the naked eye. They were all released with a bird's cry.

Was this the legendary «Wind and Cloud Sword Song»?

Even the sword cultivating Chu Family was shocked. They had never seen this kind of sword art. It could create this many streaks of sword qi which were all concentrated. When one needed to kill an enemy, it would only require a single breath.

It could guard the body and attack the enemy!

This really was an exquisite sword art!

Feng Caidie had underestimated Nangong Yun, but Nangong Yun had also been too confident!

She should not have allowed Feng Caidie to make the first move. This «Wind and Cloud Sword Song» was already very strong, but with the Divine Wind Sword generating the sword qi, it was increased by another level.

Could Nangong Yun resist this attack that blotted out the sky?

Everyone was now worried about Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun closed her eyes and did not stop herself, flying out like an arrow with no way of stopping, charging right into Feng Caidie's sword qi storm. A starlight glaze appeared around her that clashed with the sword qi. Cracks appeared on the starlight barrier, but it did not break.

"Yi?"

"Isn't that brother Lu's defensive technique!"

Feng Caidie found that Nangong Yun used the exact same defensive technique as Lu Ren. This Nangong Yun must be connected to Lu Ren's identity, or else how could she practice the same cultivation technique?

This defensive cultivation technique was too strong!

Lu Ren had killed Awakened Soul Layer Cultivators while having a peak 9th Body Refinement Layer cultivation all because of this strong defensive technique!

Feng Caidie was worried that the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song» would be too strong and she would accidentally injure Nangong Yun, but she was no longer concerned about this.

She would go all out!

The blue sword qi spread out around her, just like a wild storm.

Nangong Yun wildly released her spirit energy and like flames exploding out, it completely enveloped her body, "Heaven Burning Fist!"

The two wild energies collided.

Nangong Yun used her fist to destroy most of the sword qi coming at her!

The crowd was stunned!

These two girls were too strong!

Using her blood and flesh to block the sword qi coming from the Divine Wind Sword, this strength was truly bone chilling. Even if a 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator were to meet this fist, they would not be able to block it either.

Only!

There were too many streaks of sword qi!

All coming from different angles!

Nangong Yun had destroyed quite a bit, but the rest all fell onto Nangong Yun, reducing her flying speed. The cracks on the Starlight Immortal Body's barrier continued increasing and the starlight repair speed could not keep up.

Feng Caidie was very sly, she kept retreating while attacking.

A wind attributed cultivator would have great speed, so it was hard for Nangong Yun to catch her, let alone while she is being pelted by the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song». Her speed continued to decrease.

Everyone could see.

Nangong Yun had prepared her defense and attack, and they were both very powerful. Once she got close, Feng Caidie would not last long.

Feng Caidie's advantage lay in her speed. With the strong Divine Wind Sword and a strong attack sword skill, it made up for her lack of attack power.

Now as a result of Feng Caidie's speed being much higher than Nangong Yun's, adding in the endless pressure coming from the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song», and the limited space of the stage, no matter where Nangong Yun went, she would always be in Feng Caidie's attack range.

It was impossible for Nangong Yun to catch Feng Caidie with this pressure!

Feng Caidie was very smart, she was just using this method of keeping her enemy at bay!

Nangong Yun's violent strength could not be released and she was completely suppressed by this pressure.

"The Starlight Immortal Body is breaking!" Chu Tian knit his brows and said, "Nangong Yun is going to lose!"

"Ah! What should we do!"

Yun Xiao anxiously scratched his head because he had no doubt in Chu Tian's eyes. Now that Chu Tian felt that Nangong Yun would lose, this valiant elder sister would be headed for disaster.

Feng Qingyun gave a snort.

A cold glow flashed in his eyes.

The members of the Four Great Families were also whispering to each other. Feng Caidie's potential was too strong. Before long, the Central State Four Young Masters might turn into the Central State Five Young Masters.

The Mayor revealed a strange expression, but he smiled at Feng Yuntian and said, "Elder brother, Caidie's progress is truly satisfying." Only he knew what he was thinking.

Feng Yuntian's face was covered in a smile.

This is all because of that brat!

Everyone was thinking that it was only a matter of time before Nangong Yun lost.

Nangong Yun was very annoyed. God, she never thought that this stinking girl would be so hard to deal with. If she knew earlier, she would have rushed forward immediately and punched her right in the face.

But now, she was running as fast as a ghost. Could she even be caught?

It would have been better if they were in a natural environment, since Nangong Yun could retreat and allow the Starlight Immortal Body to repair itself, then chase after her. This would rely on how they managed their energy to decide the winner. But being in this limited stage, a wind attributed source spirit had a long range, so she had no way of escaping Feng Caidie's attack range. It could be said that she was constantly under the enemy's strong attacks.

The Immortal Body repair rate could not keep up with the destruction rate!

Would she really lose?

The boss was watching her from below!

She would be too ashamed to lose like this!

Nangong Yun was a very strong person and had said that she would beat the boss into the ground. If she lost so early, then not only would she be unwilling, she would also be too useless! But facing Feng Caidie, she really was at her wit's ends.

No!

There was no dead end!

There's still one move left!

Even though she still had not truly mastered it yet.

Chapter 155: Ranking tournament

Nangong Yun was completely restrained by the «Wind and Cloud Sword Song» and everyone thought that the winner would be Feng Caidie.

But Nangong Yun was not willing to lose!

It was not time for her to lose yet!

When she had left South Sky City to come to Central State City, Chu Tian had given her a scroll for the «Great Nirvana Scripture». At that time, Nangong Yun had thought that the «Great Nirvana Scripture» would be a powerful cultivation technique like the «Starlight Immortal Body».

When Nangong Yun calmed her heart and read the «Great Nirvana Scripture», she realized her error.

This «Great Nirvana Scripture» was a very profound cultivation technique that was much stronger than the «Starlight Immortal Body», but it was also ten times more profound than the «Starlight Immortal Body». She had never heard of the resources needed to practice it and the cultivation technique was impossible to train in!

When Chu Tian had given this «Great Nirvana Scripture» to her, he did not expect Nangong Yun to cultivate it at all.

Chu Tian had not brought many top grade cultivation techniques with him from the future and a strong cultivation technique like the «Starlight Immortal Body» was only a body refining cultivation technique for Chu Tian. It was only suited for early or mid stages of cultivation and something like the «Great Nirvana Scripture» was something that should be practiced beyond that.

Chu Tian had several cultivation techniques like this, but they were very difficult to cultivate and had high requirements. The resources needed to practice these techniques were hard to find and he could not practice them at this stage at all.

The reason why Chu Tian had given the «Great Nirvana Scripture» to Nangong Yun was that he hoped she would read through this profound cultivation technique and build a foundation for the future. It would also help with the Nangong Family's «Burning the Heaven Art» that she practiced.

Nangong Yun gave a loud roar as she punched out and destroyed several streaks of sword qi.

Feng Caidie pointed out with the Divine Wind Sword.

Seven-eight streaks of sword qi interweaved and surrounded Nangong Yun like a cage. When this cage contracted, she would be attacked by a strong pressure.

Peng!

The starlight glaze shattered!

The Starlight Immortal Body's barrier was shattered and turned into countless glowing sparkles!

It broke! It finally broke! This incredibly strong defensive technique had finally been broken by Feng Caidie!

Feng Caidie's attack frequency was too high, allowing her to attack continuously, which even the defense of the Starlight Immortal Body could not stop. From the beginning, the outcome had already been decided.

Feng Caidie had spent 60-70% of her spirit energy whereas Nangong Yun had only used around 30%. Feng Caidie had used a higher consumption in order to create an opportunity for her to win.

"Stop fighting!"

"You will get hurt!"

Feng Caidie knew that Nangong Yun had relations with Lu Ren and now that her defenses had been broken, Feng Caidie did not want to hurt Nangong Yun.

"Stop with that!"

"This old lady will not give up!"

How could Nangong Yun give up?

She condensed a large amount of spirit energy and prepared to go all out. When Feng Caidie saw this, she knew she had no other choice. If she allowed for any hesitation and allowed Nangong Yun to repair her Starlight Immortal Body barrier, she would not have enough spirit energy to fight a battle of attrition!

The Divine Wind Sword was raised.

The sword qi surrounding her body were like soldiers receiving orders as they started moving together and launching at Nangong Yun at the same time.

No matter how strong Nangong Yun's spirit energy was, it was impossible for her to destroy all the sword qi coming at her.

Victory would be decided in an instant!

This was the most critical moment!

Nangong Yun gave a low roar and the figure of the Fire Phoenix burned like fire that had gasoline added in. It was enveloped in flames and the flames were actually a golden red colour, giving off a holy aura!

"This….."

"What is happening?"

The Divine Wind Marquis, Mayor, and the heads of the Four Great Families all stood up in shook. Their eyes filled with shock because this was not the Nangong Family's Burning the Heavens Art!

Nangong Yun had already disappeared and there was only a golden Fire Phoenix left in the air. The blue sword qi landed on the Fire Phoenix's body, but it did not break it, rather it made it larger.

The wind was feeding the fire!

The Fire Phoenix released a long cry as it charged out at Feng Caidie!

Feng Caidie was stunned facing this kind of burning strength. She never would have thought that the trapped Nangong Yun would have this kind of strong counterattack!

Nangong Yun's burning figure charged out of the Fire Phoenix and a fist launched out at Feng Caidie.

Before the fist could connect.

The wild energy ripped apart her body protecting spirit energy. Feng Caidie gave a groan and spat out a large mouthful of blood while being sent out of the stage.

She lost!

Feng Caidie had lost in the end!

Nangong Yun slowly fell to the ground and stood in the center of the stage. Her face was completely white. That one attack had used too much strength that she almost could not stand up anymore.

Feng Caidie slowly stood up. There were burn marks on her clothes and it seemed very serious, but she knew that Nangong Yun had held back at the end, which was why she hadn't been injured.

She raised the Divine Wind Sword and returned it to its sheath. Then she cupped her hands at Nangong Yun, "Young miss Nangong is at a higher level, Caidie admits her loss!"

"Your luck is pretty good!" Nangong Yun had an ungrateful appearance, "This old lady did not have enough spirit energy, otherwise with a single fist, you would have been stuck in bed for at least half a year!"

This fellow really liked to pretend to be strong!

The mayor let out a sigh, "A pity, truly a pity. Caidie was too negligent, otherwise with her strength, she definitely would have become the champion."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, it's fine if she loses. Caidie couldn't beat the Nangong Family's little girl." The Divine Wind Marquis gave two loud laughs, "As for becoming the champion…..is that possible? Even if she didn't lose to the Nangong Family's little girl, she still would not be an opponent for your son. It's all the same, it's all the same!"

The mayor's eyes sparkled a few times and he smiled without saying anything.

This competition had been painstakingly prepared by him.

The champion would not be Luo Jinshi, Ye Hen, or Chu Wufeng. It wouldn't even be Nangong Yun, rather it would be someone no one could think of.

[TL Note: You're right, but not in the way you're planning XD]

"Boss, how is it? I'm pretty strong, right!" Nangong Yun jumped off the stage and appeared in front of Chu Tian with an excited look on her face, "I feel like it'll be really easy for me to defeat you now! Boss, don't blame me for not giving you face, I will show a bit of mercy."

Chu Tian looked at her with disdain, "You were just lucky enough to scratch some knowledge from the Great Nirvana Scripture and managed to fuse it with the Nangong Family's Burning the Heaven Art, yet you still think you can defeat me?"

Nangong Yun snorted and said, "We'll know when we fight in the finals!"

This really was a splendid fight.

However, after Feng Caidie and Nangong Yun's showdown ended, there were no other great fights before the champions of the six different stages were decided.

The six people respectively were: Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, Ye He, Nangong Yun, Lu Ren, and Feng Qingyun.

There were no doubts about the first four's strength. However, both Feng Qingyun and Chu Tian did not encounter any good fights. Chu Tian did not pull his sword once on his whole route to the finals. Feng Qingyun had also used minimal strength against his enemies, so the depth of his strength was unknown.

First place would belong to one of these six people.

"The qualifiers are over!"

"Now the tournament will begin!"

"Will the six strongest contenders please come onto the stage!"

Under the audience's gaze, the six stage champions walked into the arena as they prepared to begin the most important final round. Per the Great Games' rules, these six now had the qualification to enter into the Central State Trials.

These six were not necessarily the top six yet.

According to the Great Game's rules, after the tournament was the challenge tournament.

The qualifiers were over and six first rankers were picked for the six stages, now it was time for the rankings tournament.

The six of them would fight a large battle and would then be ranked according to their performances. After the ranking tournament, there would be the challenge round. If anyone was not satisfied with their rankings, they could challenge anyone of them and if they could win, they would be able to enter the top six.

It had always been one on one duels.

Now it would be the strongest decisive battle!

The ranking tournament would have all six of them fighting in a melee until they either fell off the stage or until they couldn't fight anymore. They would be ranked in the end based on the performance they displayed!

On the stage.

The six of them had already taken their positions.

Chu Wufeng was a thin young man wearing the Chu Family's uniform and carrying a treasured sword. He had an average appearance, but his eyes were incredibly sharp, just like a sharp treasured sword.

Luo Jinshi was tall and powerfully built with a thick beard that was just like a lion's mane. Standing in his position on the stage with a dignified aura filling the air, he was just like a lion standing on the prairie.

Ye Hen had an average height and a restrained aura, but he also had cold eyes that gave off a sinister feel. It was like he was a dangerous demon wolf hiding in the jungle.

When the three of them walked onto the stage.

The crowd was stunned!

These three were the highest geniuses of Central State Academy!

Around 80-90% of the audience thought that the grand champion would be one of these three!

Of the other three, Nangong Yun was considered quite outstanding, but she had undergone an intense fight with Feng Caidie and it was unknown whether she had recovered or not.

As for Feng Qingyun and Lu Ren?

The crowd just shook their heads.

Feng Qingyun was surnamed Feng so he should be the same as Feng Caidie, a member of the Feng Family. Only, Feng Qingyun was an unknown name, so no one thought that he would be a strong character.

As for that fellow named Lu Ren?

This name was destined to be given to a passerby. Although he had a little skill, his performance was quite average. Being able to reach the final stage was probably just because of his luck.

Even if Feng Qingyun wasn't famous, he was still at least from a famous family. Lu Ren was just a rogue cultivator, what skills could he have?

The one thing everyone was confused on was.

Why had Yun Xiao who had potential suddenly surrender to Lu Ren? Still, no matter what, no one had a favourable view of him!

The Great Games had not formally begun.

But the six of them studied each other.

Chu Wufeng coldly stared at Chu Tian, "You have potential, so you shouldn't offend the Chu Family. I'll give you one final chance, give up this competition and hire yourself to the Chu Family. Devote yourself to the Chu Family and I can ask the head to spare your life!"

"There are enough members of the Chu Family, so it doesn't matter if you have an extra lackey." Right at this moment, Luo Jinshi suddenly said, "You should hire yourself to the Luo Family and I'll even personally instruct you. How about that?"

Ye Hen gave a cold snort and an invisible spiritual fluctuation slowly filled the air, "Other than devoting yourself to the Ye Family, you have no other choices! Otherwise, I will not let you step off this stage alive!"

Perhaps the normal people did not know Chu Tian.

But those of the great families had already investigated him.

Although they did not know Chu Tian's real identity, but it was easy finding out that he had blocked one slash from Chu Xinghe without dying. There were even some people that knew he had relations with Qilin Hall.

This was a person that had value in winning over.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Nangong Yun couldn't help breaking out in laughter, "You really are popular! You even make me feel jealous!"

"There's no other way. An outstanding and handsome person like me cannot hide my greatness!"

Chu Tian merrily laughed as he spoke.

The three young masters were enraged.

This damn fellow, not even putting their words into his eyes!

Right at this moment.

"Dang!"

A loud and clear bell sound rang out into the sky. The final competition was beginning!

Chapter 156: Who is crazier?

The finals had begun.

Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, and Ye Hen, these three super geniuses were all focusing on Chu Tian. This unknown youth not only dared to provoke the Chu Family, but he had also not given the three of them face.

Such an arrogant rogue cultivator! How could they tolerate him?

"We'll take care of the mouse first!" Chu Wufeng commented first, "And then we'll fight each other?"

Luo Jinshi said, "That's fine with me!"

Ye Hen coldly said, "A trivial rogue cultivator dares to look down on the three great families? He needs to pay the price for his stupidity! There are people in this world that you cannot afford to offend."

"So based on your thought processes, you inviting me to become a servant of your families means that I should feel extremely flattered and break out in tears of gratitude?" Chu Tian revealed a helpless expression, "Your thought processes are really abnormal!"

"Killing you is as easy as pie for any one of us!"

"Letting you keep your life now and becoming a dog to our family is a huge heaven sent gift to you!"

Luo Jinshi angrily said, "Let's not waste anymore time! Since he doesn't care about face, exterminate him!"

As the three of them were about to make their moves.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

At this moment, wild laughter sounded out. On the stage, other than Chu Tian, the youngest person was slowly walking out.

Ye Hen coldly said, "You think this is funny?"

"I just don't understand you three pieces of waste! What qualifications do you have to be this crazy!" Under the surprised gazes of countless people, Feng Qingyun walked to the centre of the stage. In front of this crowd, he said something very shocking, "With this little bit of skills, you think you're invincible in Central State City? These sad frogs at the bottom of their well!"

At this moment!

It was like Feng Qingyun had turned into another person as his expression turned unruly and he released a wild arrogance. His blue robe was motionless, but if one looked carefully, there were countless small tornadoes surrounding Feng Qingyun's body.

Luo Jinshi angrily said, "What did you say!"

Feng Qingyun slowly floated upwards as an invisible strength surrounded his body, "I said! You are all waste that only knows how to bark like a dog!"

These three geniuses all had incomparably ugly looks on their faces!

The members of the three great families all had sinister looks on their faces.

Other than the Four Young Masters, who wouldn't care about them? Out of the Central State City's younger generation, they were super geniuses just below the Four Young Masters!

Now, even a fellow they had never even heard off was acting this arrogantly and calling them waste. How could they endure this kind of tone?

Nangong Yun also revealed a surprised look.

The aura Feng Qingyun released was getting even stronger, to the point that even she could not tell how strong it was. Although this fellow was arrogant, there was one thing that could not be denied, he was much stronger than they imagined!

Feng Caidie let out a sigh.

She had a kind of helpless expression on her face.

"It is very noisy listening to three pieces of trash shouting like this! I've had enough!" Feng Qingyun let out another proud laugh, "Stop wasting my time, this young master will give you a chance, so all three of you should come at once!"

Everyone was shocked!

He was using an arrogant way to insult these three super geniuses while challenging all three of them at once! These were the three that had the highest chance of winning the Great Games!

The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families all had sinister looks on their faces.

Feng Qingyun was the mayor's son, yet he dared to act so arrogantly on the stage. It was most likely he had the mayor's permission and this was probably set up by the mayor!

No wonder the principal made this exception!

This was preparation for their Feng Family!

Feng Caidie had lost to Nangong Yun and so the least Feng Qingyun could do was get a position in the quota! What the crowd had never expected was that the Feng Family was not satisfied with just earning a quota position. They had actually raised a secret genius that would be able to step up to the level of the three families' geniuses!

Mayor Feng Yunlong was very satisfied with this result. His son should act this way!

The people of Central State only knew the name of the Four Young Masters. As the strongest family, the Feng Family had not been able to take out someone that could match the Four Young Masters. Would the mayor have any face after this?

But now, Feng Qingyun was strong enough that he was about to crush the geniuses from the three great families!

With this event, the people would understand that the Feng Family was not inferior to the Four Young Masters and would even have a talent surpassing the Four Young Masters! It would be Feng Yunlong's son!

"What shameless boasting!"

The three geniuses could no longer endure this and Chu Wufeng was the first to make a move.

With a keng sound, his treasured sword soared out into the sky!

A vast and sharp sword aura slowly filled the air.

Chu Wufeng flew into the sky while gripping his sparkling treasured sword. His spirit energy condensed into a purple sword source spirit and strength flowed into his treasured sword like a river.

"Soul Sword Secret Art! Heaven Cutting Art!"

A terrifying earth shattering sword aura quickly condensed to its peak!

The spirit, sword, and man fused into a single being!

"Daring to boast so shamelessly! Face the angry might of the Chu Family's sword!"

When Chu Wufeng released the sword qi, it was as if the air had been torn apart. A deep sword mark appeared on the stage as if it had been sliced like paper. Then, all that powerful sword qi rushed out at Feng Qingyun.

Heaven Cutting Art!

The strongest move of the Soul Sword Secret Art!

When Chu Tian had met Chu Xinghe while entering the city, Chu Xinghe had used this same move against him. Even at the same level, Chu Tian could still not block it. This was the first time Chu Tian had failed to block an attack of the same level ever since he came to this world.

How strong this move really was could be easily seen!

Although Chu Wufeng's attainment in the Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art» could not compare with Chu Xinghe, he still had reached the Large Success Realm. This one slash was already incredibly powerful, there weren't even that many 3rd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivator could not block this attack.

While everyone was thinking about how Feng Qingyun would block this.

Puchi!

Feng Qingyun's body had been sliced in half by this sword qi!

Everyone's eyes popped wide open!

Feng Qingyun had acted so arrogantly, but he couldn't even block this slash?

While everyone was feeling confused, the two halves of Feng Qingyun's body suddenly turned blurry and scattered like the wind, disappearing without a trace. Countless strands of blue energy appeared from thin air and once again formed Feng Qingyun's figure once again.

"What just happened?"

"He actually wasn't split apart!"

Everyone watching was stunned, even the members of the Four Great Families were shocked.

Chu Xinghe's eyes slightly narrowed and he coldly said, "His sword spirit should be the wind and he should have obtained some kind of wind inheritance. The cultivation technique he practices should be different from what the Feng Family practices."

That's right.

Feng Qingyun's source spirit was the wind! Pure wind!

There were many kinds of source spirits and there was a kind of pure elemental source spirit without a physical form that was just pure energy. This kind of source spirit was rare and it had its advantages and disadvantages, but in most cases, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

It wasn't as if there was no precedence of an elemental source spirit.

The Purple Lightning Young Master Yun Yao had a thunder source spirit which was pure thunder. It did not have any physical form, so Yun Yao also had an elemental source spirit.

Feng Qingyun was the same as Yun Yao, but his spirit was wind attributed!

Not only did Feng Qingyun have a pure wind source spirit, he also seemed to have obtained an ancient inheritance. The cultivation technique he practiced allowed his body to turn into wind, disappeared without a trace, disregarding any kind of attacks. This was a truly high level cultivation technique.

Not only was he not inferior to the Four Young Masters, other than Chu Xinghe, there was now someone else that had received an ancient inheritance. He had the strength and potential to compare to the Four Young Masters and even at the same level, Chu Wufeng and the others found it very difficult to fight him one on one.

Luo Jinshi said to Ye Hen, "Use your spiritual attack to deal with him."

A ripple appeared in Ye Hen's pupils and then he knit his brows together, "I can't. He seems like he's frozen, but he's actually moving very quickly, I can't lock onto him at all!"

"What?"

"You barking dogs only have this little bit of skills?"

Feng Qingyun was floating in the air, looking completely aloof. His voice seemed to come out of nowhere, just like the wind.

"Young miss Nangong, from what I can see, you are much stronger than any one of these pieces of trash. You are the only person who is qualified to be my opponent!"

Feng Qingyun's body turned blurry and he disappeared like ink spreading out in water. When he said this, his eyes suddenly fell onto Chu Tian.

"As for you...You piece of trash! I disdain from making a move! Waste your cultivation and then scram!"

A strange cultivation technique!

A strong talent!

Feng Qingyun wasn't a normal kind of crazy, he had already taken control of the Great Games!

Feng Qingyun enjoyed this feeling very much. He had already demonstrated a strength that no one else had, so this piece of trash should clearly understand now!

He could either waste his cultivation and scram!

Or he could just die!"

Chu Tian lightly said, "What if I refuse?"

"Then I will personally send you off!"

Feng Qingyun's figure suddenly moved several times, just like a ghost suddenly appearing, he flickered forward as he charged right at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian's right hand slowly moved behind him and he gripped the hilt of the Netherworld Sword. The cold blade's edge slowly came out of the scabbard, "Why are there so many idiots that thinks they're invincible?"

An ancient aura appeared from Chu Tian's body.

When this sword that was like ten thousand year old ice was drawn, a black ancient sword source spirit appeared behind him. This source spirit had never been heard of in Central State before, the aura was even stronger than they imagined. It seemed to control an endless destructive might, just like a demon god.

A streak of purple sword light tore apart the air!

Chu Tian did not pay any attention to Feng Qingyun's flickering form and his sword slashed out in front of him. That powerful sword intent shot out a sword qi that left a mark in the ground.

A blue human figure appeared in the air!

"Impossible!" Feng Qingyun looked at the wound on his chest dripping with blood, "You can see where I am! Why?"

At this moment.

Feng Qingyun felt an invisible strength constantly scanning his body. His eyes suddenly narrowed, "It's Mind's Eye! You've opened the Mind's Eye!"

That's right!

The moment Chu Tian drew out the sword, he had already opened the Mind's Eye!

This fellow's cultivation technique wasn't as terrifying as everyone imagined.

Feng Qingyun's flesh body couldn't turn into energy, so it was nothing but hiding his bode while creating a lifelike illusion, thus misleading everyone.

This was similar to what Chu Ming from the beginning had.

However, not only did Feng Qingyun have a strong hiding ability, he also had a strange movement ability, but this was still seen through by Chu Tian.

Feng Qingyun could use it to move five-six times per second.

Chu Wufeng had not sliced him at all, he had only hit the figure made of wind!

This cultivation technique also had its good points and it shouldn't be any weaker compared to the ancient «Netherworld Flame Sword» cultivation technique. If his cultivation base was a little higher, or if he was a little faster, or even if his cultivation technique's realm was a little higher, then it would have been hard for Chu Tian to see through his technique even with the Mind's Eye.

However, Feng Qingyun was still too young and his cultivation base was only in the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer.

"What? Are you surprised?"

"You are laughing at others for being shortsighted, so why did you not think that you yourself are the same?"

These words was like a resounding slap on Feng Qingyun's face.

Feng Qingyun never would have imagined that this fellow that he looked down on would actually break through the movement technique he was so proud of!

The expression on mayor Feng Yunlong's face turned dark!

This matter had completely exceeded his expectations!

Where did this brat come from? He is clearly at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!

The edge of Chu Tian's blade was lit up with blue and white flames and he looked at Nangong Yun at the side, "It's fine if you just watch! I'll take care of all these pieces of trash myself!"

The entire area was filled with a deadly silence!

Feng Qingyun was already crazy enough to fight all three of them by himself!

This youth of unknown origins was even more arrogant. Not to mention Chu Wufeng and the others, he even wanted to take care of Feng Qingyun all at once!

This situation, this development, it was all completely shocking!

How was this a competition? This was simply testing their hearts!

The way the Great Game developed had already completely surpassed everyone's imaginations!

Chapter 157: A shocking fight

The three great family heads all stood up.

Damn!

Who is this bastard?

He actually dares to be this arrogant!

The Feng Family had been in Central State City for tens of years, but they had never trained a decent genius. This time there was finally one person that had appeared in this competition and although it made the three great families lose a bit of face, they would still owe the three great families a favour in the end!

What did this young man count for?

Just a trivial nameless rogue cultivator.

Not to mention the fact that it was impossible for him to have this kind of strength. Even if he did have this kind of strength, when facing the three great families, wasn't trampling on their reputation like this simply seeking death!

Of course the one that was the most enraged was the Central State City mayor Feng Yunlong!

The mayor had spent quite a bit of effort to give his son Feng Qingyun this opportunity. He had even taken advantage of his little brother's position as the Central State Academy's principal to forcefully change the rules for this great summit!

Feng Qingyun had left to cultivate at the age of ten and obtained this ancient wind attributed cultivation technique at the age of fifteen. This year, he was seventeen and he had already reached the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer. Reaching this kind of stage at his age, even the imperial city did not have many talents that could match this!

Feng Qingyun had the opportunity to break through to the 4th Awakened Soul Layer before he was twenty years old and becoming a strong Illustrious Soul Expert. At that time, other then Chu Xinghe being able to fight with him, there would be no one else in Central State City that could match Feng Qingyun!

The Great Games was the stage that the mayor had prepared for Feng Qingyun.

What was the current situation? This rogue cultivator had appeared halfway and not only was he around the same age as Feng Qingyun, he had stopped Feng Qingyun's momentum with a lower cultivation base.

He had a strong source spirit!

He had opened the Mind's Eye that countless cultivators dreamed of!

His sword art was not inferior to the Chu Family's and even had a stronger attack strength!

The shock caused by his one move had even surpassed what Feng Qingyun caused!

Feng Qingyun's chance had been completely stolen away? How could the mayor not be enraged?

Yun Tianhe's heart was also filled with shock, he truly was worth of being someone that had allowed his grandson Yun Xiao to be reborn in just three days! His sword source spirit was not only strong, it even contained an ancient aura. It was not inferior to Nangong Yun's God Level Source Spirit and contained a talent for increasing attack power.

Just with this source spirit, Chu Tian's battle strength could be increased by several times!

He could use this to instantly kill same level experts and it wouldn't be strange if he had the ability to fight higher level experts! Chu Tian had opened the Mind's Eye that cultivators dreamed off. He could see through an enemy's cultivation and power, giving him the chance to win easily!

This was truly a miraculous young man!

Feng Qingyun's face turned dark and a dense killing intent slowly filled the air. The air around him began to fluctuate.

"Don't think that you can suppress me just with your Mind's Eye! Now I'll show you my true strength!"

Feng Qingyun was like a drop of ink entering water as he, instantly disappearing, turning into blue coloured energy. Several blades formed from wind shot at Chu Tian.

Too fast!

Feng Qingyun's movement was very incredible!

He could change positions several times every second!

It was hard to track and hard to attack!

His sword source spirit released a destructive might and gently holding the Netherworld Sword, a purple and black coloured sword qi was sent forward. The wind blades coming from all different directions were sliced apart.

After Feng Qingyun finished condensing his power, he let out a long angry roar and just like the wild wind's roar, his source spirit once again sent out a flurry of wind attributed spirit energy. The air current mixed together and formed a high tornado.

A blue tornado..

Formed from pure wind attributed spirit energy.

Countless little wind blades grouped together to form a terrifying meat grinder. Wherever it went, it would be completely invincible!

The ancient cultivation technique Feng Qingyun practiced was not an assassination technique. Although it could hide the user and form illusory figures, those were only supplementary effects. This cultivation technique's true strength was its incredible speed and its invincible destructive might!

Feng Qingyun had already disappeared!

Feng Qingyun was hidden in the large tornado, using the thick wind attributed spirit energy to block the spiritual sense locking onto him. With Chu Tian's current strength, he had no way of penetrating into the tornado and locking onto Feng Qingyun's exact location.

If he couldn't find his location.

Could he even still fight the enemy?

"I want you to die!"

As soon as Feng Qingyun's voice rang out, the large tornado disappeared and transformed into ten thousand blue wind blades shooting at Chu Tian.

Chu Tian dodged to the side and the countless wind blades fell like a storm where he had just stood, creating a hole in the stage. Then the wind converged once again and formed another giant tornado in the center of the stage.

Too powerful!

Most of the audience could not understand what they saw.

The tornado turned into a blue stream, moving from one position to the other, shooting out instantly. The destructive might displayed by this process was incredibly terrifying.

Actually the tornado was formed from the spirit energy of Feng Qingyun's source spirit, and therefore, it had to surround Feng Qingyun's body. Following Feng Qingyun's strange movement technique, it was actually very quick. Sweeping away ten thousand soldiers, breaking apart armies, it seemed like it was completely invincible!

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Show me how you'll break through my move!"

The young man's simple grey robe was fluttering in the wild wind, but his face was as calm as water. His star like black eyes reflected the tornado and his lips curled into a faint smile. Calm and collected, like everything was under his control.

"Now die!"

Feng Qingyun launched another attack!

The young man gently swung his ice-like blade in a horizontal line and one could only see traces of blue and white Netherworld Ghost Flames being released. The flames instantly spread across Chu Tian's body, and he disappeared without a trace.

Feng Qingyun was gone.

Chu Tian had also disappeared!

Both of them had disappeared at the same time!

Feng Qingyun could not find a target, but he still gave a cold laugh, "You think I can't deal with you if you hide?"

The blue tornado began to spin faster and a terrifying attractive power was released as if it would swallow up everything. Countless wind blades was released with terrifying cutting strength, covering a large area. Wherever it was released, nothing stood in its way and nothing was left whole!

Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, and Ye Hen's faces all fell.

They had to withdraw or else they would be caught up in the attack!

"Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash!"

At this moment, a streak of burning sword glow slashed through the storm!

"It's no use, you can't get past my defences! It is impossible for you to slash me!"

Feng Qingyun was very confident. Merging with the tornado, he could appear with the tornado wherever he went!

When the flaming sword glow hit the blue tornado, it was like a match being thrown in. The wind blades meeting this flaming sword glow head on were absorbed by the blue and white flames, making the flame burn stronger!

"What?"

Feng Qingyun didn't even have the chance to be shocked.

Another flaming sword glow came from another side. Once again cutting through the tornado and sending another mass of Netherworld Ghost Flames in.

The third slash!

The fourth slash!

The fifth slash!

...

Chu Tian was just too quick!

Dozens of flaming sword glows were sent out, completely surrounding the blue tornado. They were slowly nibbling away at the tornado, actually controlling it.

The blue and white flames were constantly being sent into the tornado and being ignited with the wind essence spirit energy, burning even brighter and bigger. In just a few minutes, the entire tornado had been turned into half flame and half wind!

If that terrifying ghost flame continued to burn, the entire tornado would be turned into flames!

Fire suppressed wind!

Wind helped fire grow!

The faster Feng Qingyun's spirit energy moved, the faster the Netherworld Ghost Flame would grow!

This sent Feng Qingyun into chaos. Standing in the center of the tornado, he could not control his own strength. He was surrounded by this cold and terrifying blue ghost flame and the terrifying strength slowly came closer to him.

"No!"

"Damn! Damn!"

Feng Qingyun roared out with rage.

The mayor Feng Yunlong angrily stood up. He was in a rage as he looked at the tornado that was just like a burning powder keg. The Divine Wind Marquis sat up in his chair while rubbing his chin, he had an interested look on his face.

The various large families were all shocked by Chu Tian's strange sword skills!

This rogue cultivator used a sword technique that no one had heard of or seen before. Only seeing the sword glow appear from thin air, it was as if it were coming from the Netherworld, but each one held terrifying strength. This was a kind of continuous attack assassination cultivation technique that had never been heard of before!

When Chu Tian had been in the 1st Awakened Soul Layer, he had used the «Netherworld Flame Sword»'s "Flickering Flame Slash" to defeat Chu Tongwen at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer!

Now Chu Tian was already in the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!

The «Netherworld Flame Sword»'s cultivation realm had increased and had gotten much stronger. Using the Mind's Eye with it, each strike would accurately hit its target. Before Feng Qingyun could even react, the entire tornado was set on fire!

After a few dozen slashes.

It had gone past the point of return!

"Ah! Ah!"

Feng Qingyun's angry shouts turned into painful wails as he was caught in a trap that he made. He had released all his spirit energy, but he never thought that it would be completely absorbed by the Netherworld Flame. Now that he was completely surrounded by the Netherworld Flame, how could he still be safe?

When Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, and Ye Hen saw this, their faces all turned serious!

This rogue cultivator had such a strong sword art!

This was a completely unpredictable sword art. The three of them were currently wondering if they could even block it!

"Let's go together!"

Right now, they had no time to worry about having face anymore. If they didn't work together to fight him and instead fought alone, there was no way for them to go against this rogue cultivator!

They would rather lose their honor than lose this match!

Ye Hen's attack largely disregarded distance, so he was the fastest to launch an attack. As soon as Chu Tian released his attack, revealing himself, Ye Hen suddenly launched a sneak attack and a ripple of spiritual power came from his eyes.

Chu Tian felt a burst of dizziness in his brain.

The world began to sink into darkness.

His hands and feet were tied to a bloody frame and Ye Hen was standing not far away. He had a whip in his hand and there was a variety of torture tools floating around him.

"Hum, hum, hum, no matter how strange your sword technique is, in front of me, you only have the choice of dying!"

"You can only blame yourself for being too arrogant!"

Ye Hen walked over with a happy expression on his face.

"I am the only master of this spiritual illusory world. A single second outside is several hours in here, I have more than enough time to make you suffer! You can't ask to live, but you can ask for death! I will completely break your spirit!"

The spiritual world had a different rate of time flow compared to the real world.

Ye Hen could make a person suffer in this spiritual world for several hours, but when they returned outside, only a second would pass. There was no way for normal defensive cultivation techniques to stop this kind of terrifying spiritual attack. This was also the place that Ye Hen was the most proud of.

Out of the Ye Family's third generation.

The Heavenly Wolf Young Master Ye Tianlang had made a fool of himself in South Sky City!

This allowed Ye Hen to see an opportunity. His talent could not compare to his cousin Ye Tianlang's, but now that Ye Tianlang had ruined his reputation, this competition was his opportunity to raise his position!

This rogue cultivator was truly strong, even Feng Qingyun was defeated by him.

Now if he defeated this fellow in one fell swoop, Ye Tianlang's reputation would soar. He would become the top character out of the Ye Family's third generation!

Ye Hen revealed a fiendish grin as he said, "Accept your punishment!"

"This kind of low level spiritual illusion technique can only be used on a country bumpkin that has never seen the world before." The shackles that held his hand and feet broke apart and the bloody frame was reduced to ashes. "You thought you could deal with me?"

Chu Tian landed on the floor and stretched his body.

"You want to use an illusion technique on me? You're too lacking for this!"

Chapter 158: The Chu Family's bastard!

Ye Hen's spiritual attack had been resisted!

How was this happening?

Ever since he had awakened this spiritual attack, Ye Hen had never failed when using it. Because the Southern Summer Country only had a few rare talents, regardless of how strong they were or how profound their cultivation techniques were, they did not train their spiritual power, which meant they had no resistance.

The only exceptions were when the opponent's cultivation far surpassed Ye Hen or when they had a natural talent for spiritual power, which would allow them to forcefully break through his technique.

This kind of thing was almost impossible to appear!

This enemy's cultivation base was not higher than his, but rather it was weaker than his. This kind of resistance could not appear unless he had a natural spiritual power or he cultivated a spiritual defense cultivation technique.

But!

This still did not explain it!

His source spirit was clearly a sword!

The sword source spirit was considered the strong attack attributed source spirit and could not possibly have a rare attribute like spiritual power. From the sword source spirit he released before, even though the source spirit's aura was very strong, it did not fill the air with any spiritual power.

"Why!"

"How could you possibly block my ability!"

Ye Hen was proud of his spiritual attack, but seeing it being broken so easily, how could he accept this?

Chu Tian slowly raised his head.

Ye Hen instantly felt a cold chill run down his spine!

Chu Tian's eyes seemed to have undergone a strange change and they turned into a golden colour. His pupil had turned silver and each pupil had seven different smaller pupils inside, superimposing on one another. The colour of each small pupil was different and a first glance would make it seem like a seven coloured flower!

An ancient and mysterious aura slowly poured out of his eyes.

Ye Hen felt like he was enveloped by an earth shattering feeling and he felt the spiritual world he created falling out of his control. An irresistible strength filled his mind and he began to feel dizzy.

The pair of strange eyes seemed like they were enlarged by several times.

The seven different pupils seemed like they were slowly moving. While they were spinning, a strange strength seemed to spew out from within. Its strength felt like that of an irresistible demon god.

"Do you take spiritual techniques as your pride?"

With a hong sound.

The illusion disintegrated and the fragments quickly reformed. A tall ancient palace reappeared, it looked dark and filled with mystery.

Ye Hen could not move at all.

When he regained consciousness, his four limbs had been nailed to a pillar and he was surrounded by thousands of terrifying evil spirits. Each one releasing a killing intent with terrifying faces, they seemed very eager to move closer to him.

"No! No!"

"Scram! All of you scram!"

Chu Tian had disappeared and he had been replaced by a giant demon god!

It was hard to see the entire demon god's figure and he could only barely see the demon god's nine eyes. Each eye was a different colour and each eye contained an unbelievable demonic strength.

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

"Didn't you want me to suffer?"

"Don't you like to play with illusion techniques? I'll let you see a real spiritual illusion!"

That giant demon god gently waved his hand and the thousands of evil spirits wildly swarmed forth. They wildly gnawed on Ye Hen's flesh, again and again as he was endlessly reincarnated.

"Ah!"

Ye Hen gave a pitiful cry as he was ripped apart.

However, he was not freed and once again reformed.

Ripped apart once again!

Reformed once again!

And so it continued. Finally, there was over ten thousand Ye Hens and each one was ripped apart by a hundred ghosts.

In reality, Ye Hen let out a tragic howl. Blood poured out of his seven orifices as he fell to the ground, losing consciousness.

He had completely lost consciousness. Although Chu Tian had spared him, it would still take at least a year and a half before he regained consciousness and would take another three-five years just to recover. This talent that the Ye Family had been proud of had just lost his glow.

The Ye Family members were stunned, "What just happened?!"

Why had Ye Hen suffered from a counterattack when he was the one who activated the spiritual technique!

Because this spiritual power confrontation had happened in just a single second, Luo Jinshi did not realize Ye Hen's tragic appearance. While he was rushing out, he turned into a golden lion with one lion shaped fist and one tiger shaped fist, both shooting at Chu Tian with earth shaking strength.

"Lion Tiger Double Phase!"

The Luo Family's cultivation technique was very overbearing and had an incredible close combat might. Even the strong Chu Wufeng did not dare to face Luo Jinshi head on, but Chu Tian did not dodge and allowed Luo Jinshi to get close.

"A good chance!"

"Kill him!"

The Luo Family members loudly cheered.

Chu Tian's sword swept out and the Netherworld Sword absorbed some strength, allowing the starlight glaze to appear. The wild strength smashed against the starlight glaze and it was completely shattered apart. However, Chu Tian reflected all the strength back and that terrifying strength rebounded right at Luo Jinshi.

Ka!

A crisp breaking sound!

Luo Jinshi's arms broke in several places and he gave a pitiful cry as he was sent flying into the air.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, with just your skills, you still dare to say you can guide me cultivation?"

Luo Jinshi's face turned completely red.

He never would have thought that his full strength attack would be blocked and even rebounded back to him. Not that long ago, he had even arrogantly told Chu Tian to become the Luo Family's dog, saying that he would even guide his cultivation!

Could he still instruct him like this?

This was simply slapping his face!

"Scram!"

Chu Tian raised his foot and kicked Luo Jinshi off the stage. He had completely lost all his battle strength.

This filled the Luo Family with shock and rage.

They knew how terrifying Luo Jinshi's strength was, but it had been completely defended against and had even been reflected back to injure him!

Luo Jinshi's cultivation base was above his enemy's!

Moreover, Luo Jinshi was someone the Luo Family focused on training and he was much stronger compared to experts at the same level. How could he possible be defeated like this by a nameless little peasant?

"Soul Sword Secret Art! Heaven Cutting Art!"

When Ye Hen and Luo Jinshi had been defeated.

Chu Wufeng had already finished condensing his energy and he launched the «Soul Sword Secret Art»'s strongest move. The Chu Family's secret sword art was considered the strongest technique in Central State and the strongest attack of the «Soul Sword Secret Art» was the Heaven Cutting Art.

Your defense is indeed not bad.

But so what if it's strong?

After taking Luo Jinshi's attack, your defensive cultivation technique had already been destroyed and cannot be condensed this quickly. Even if you did condense it, how strong would it be?

My slash will pierce through just like a spike!

Chu Tian's Mind's Eye had seen through everything and he was very clear on whether he could block it. The Small Success Starlight Immortal Body could not block Chu Wufeng's one strike. Chu Tian was not a fool, of course he wouldn't face this head on!

"Raise!"

He brandished the Netherworld Sword high up.

The flame tornado spun in the sky and a great mass of blue and white flames was stripped from it. It was like beautiful fireworks exploding as it finally condensed into the blade of the sword.

The fire soaring into the sky had no heat at all!

Instead, it filled the air with a deep chill!

Putong!

With the flames being taken away, Feng Qingyun had finally been freed and he fell to the ground unconscious. Although he showed no signs of injury, after being burned by the Netherworld Ghost Flame, his meridians and energy source had been heavily injured. Even though he did not die, he had already been half wasted.

Chu Wefeng revealed a frown.

What kind of move was this?

Forget about it!

This person must be killed with a single slash!

Chu Wufeng carried heaven shaking momentum as he gathered all the energy in his body into a single streak of sword qi, sending it right at Chu Tian. This slash was even stronger than the one sent at Feng Qingyun. The stage was being slowly slashed apart, as if it could completely disintegrate.

Chu Tian's Netherworld Sword had absorbed a large amount of Netherworld Flame, so his current strength was not inferior to Chu Wufeng's.

He rushed out half a step.

Then he disappeared!

"Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash!"

A streak of giant flaming sword qi soared out into the sky and was ten times stronger than any other streak fired before! It was as if all the slashes sent out before had been gathered in a single slash!

It was hard to imagine just how terrifying this was!

Chu Wufeng revealed a look of panic. Other than his brother Chu Xinghe, he had never seen such a strong sword intent.

The two extremely strong sword glows clashed in the sky!

The flaming sword glow completely burned away the Heaven Cutting Art's sword qi and finally struck Chu Wufeng's body. Even Chu Wufeng's source spirit was cracked as he was sent flying dozens of meters off the stage while letting out a pitiful cry.

Chu Wufeng, Luo Jinshi, Ye Hen, and Feng Qingyun.

Four geniuses.

They had all been defeated!

Moreover, it was all a complete defeat!

Chu Tian had not just defeated them in turn, he had dealt heavy injuries to every one of them, even half crippling one of them. It would be hard for them to recover in a short period of time and it would be impossible for them to recover to their previous states!

Who else was left?!

Chu Tian stood on the messy stage.

Just like a newborn sun, his dazzling glow stung everyone's eyes!

Chu Shanhe stood up and angrily shouted, "Who exactly are you!"

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! You want to know? Then this master will tell you!"

Chu Tian's appearance changed and he returned to his original appearance. This newborn rising star stood there shining proudly. Standing on the stage, he loudly proclaimed.

"Your master Chu Tian is here!"

Chu Tian!

He was Chu Tian!

This unknown youth was Chu Tian!

The one abandoned by the Chu Family, tracked down by the Chu Family, and the one that the Chu Family had tried to kill!

This young man that no one cared about was actually that young man that was rising at an incredible speed in South Sky City – Chu Tian!

The Chu Family's bastard that didn't even have the right to enter their genealogy!

Bastard?

What a fucking joke!

The Chu Family's bastard had blocked Chu Xinghe's sword and even broken Chu Xinghe's one slash kill reputation!

The Chu Family's bastard had shocked everyone in the Central State Great Games. With just his strength, he had taken out the three geniuses from the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families!

This Chu Family's bastard had faced Feng Qingyun who had the rights to chase after Chu Xinghe and had defeated him without any trouble at all!

This was someone that could shine alongside Chu Xinghe!

He...Was the bastard of the Chu Family!

The devastating might of this fact was on its own level!

The members of the Chu Family all had pale faces as they weakly sat down on their seats.

What kind of shame was this!

"That's right! It's me!" Chu Tian stood on the stage and loudly shouted, "I, Chu Tian am here!"

The three great families felt like they had been slapped dozens of times and they all felt like their faces were swollen!

This young man who they desperately wanted to kill, not only was he safe and sound, he had even defeated the geniuses they were the most proud of! In such a beautiful and shocking way, he declared his debut on the Central State Stage!

He had blinded them with his light!

This was the result Chu Tian had wanted!

The most sensational way for Miracle Commerce to break into the Central State stage!

The result they wanted the least was given to them by Father!

Chapter 159: Critical moment!

Lu Ren had also used a disguise technique!

Feng Caidie was shocked.

This disguise technique was more than ten times more advanced than hers. Even after being together for so long, she did not notice a single flaw! Feng Caidie looked at Lu Ren with an astonished look, she had never thought that this young man would be this handsome. He had turned himself into this average appearance just to act as a pig to eat tigers! He's truly bad!

"Chu Tian!"

The Ye Wudao father and son combo's eyes turned red.

This was the mortal enemy they could not reconcile with!

This bastard actually dared to appear in Central State City!

In a humble corner. A mature black gauzed beauty's eyes turned wide with shock as her body trembled slightly. It was a little hard to control her excitement.

This person was Chen Bingyu.

Chen Bingyu knew that the person who invented the phonograph was invented by Miracle Commerce's Chu Tian and the discs were very likely to have been recorded by Chu Tian. This meant that there likely wasn't a senior and everything had been the masterpieces of this monstrous youth!

While Chu Tian had been in Qilin Hall, she had even seen him several times!

This expert had been by her side the whole time?

Chen Bingyu was a martial arts maniac, she did not have a normal view. There was no age barrier in terms of worship and it was a dream of hers to be taught by an expert!

"Fuck! This world is truly insane!" Yun Xiao was shocked and he revealed an appearance like he couldn't accept this, "The boss is actually Chu Tian! The most important thing is that he is even more handsome than me!"

Yun Yao was also speechless.

It was no wonder he was so talented and he could get someone as proud as Nangong Yun to follow his orders. If this were linked with the miraculous Chu Tian of South Sky City, it was explained very easily!

Yun Tianhe revealed an expression showing he had expected this.

Before Chu Tian had even founded Qilin Hall, Yun Tianhe had already investigated Lu Ren's identity. Although he wasn't 100% sure, he still had 80-90% that this youth named Lu Ren was South Sky City's Chu Tian!

"So he was actually Chu Tian!"

"No wonder he was this strong!"

"The Chu Family are truly blind, cutting off this kind of person from their genealogy!"

The people of Central State City broke out in discussion. Chu Tian had not taken the initiative to make moves in the main city before this, but his previous actions had spread his reputation all over Central State City. The people had only heard of him before, and no one had ever seen him. This was the first time this young man appeared in front of everyone.

The three great families had gone all out to discredit Chu Tian for a long time.

Between the rumours and newspapers of Central State City, they all had bad opinions of Chu Tian.

Now, Chu Tian had gone onto the stage in such a shocking manner, he instantly flushed out the dirty water the three great families had thrown onto him.

Chu Tian stood on the stage, not caring about the pale faces of the three great families as he loudly proclaimed, "I am Chu Tian, Miracle Commerce's Chairman! Today, I will formally announce that Miracle Commerce will be coming to the main city!"

That company that could create countless miracles was finally coming to the main city?

In the two weeks that Chu Tian had been in Central State City, Tianchen Commerce had already secretly built a magnetic sound tower. Various materials have already arrived and the diagram had been created, everything had been prepared.

Other than that, Chu Tian had also won over Yun Tianhe and the Yun Family's influence. He had even won over Chen Bingyu and set up a protective umbrella over Miracle Commerce.

Chu Tian had come this time without anyone noticing him!

This had been carried out under the three great families' noses and when the three great families finally noticed what was happening, the basic requirements for Miracle Commerce charging into Central State City had already been prepared.

Chu Tian had entered the Great Game and attracted everyone's attention not just to slap the faces of the three great families, but also to spread the news of Miracle Commerce in this event that everyone paid attention to. He wanted to draw in attention so that in the future, when Miracle Commerce released new products, it would be difficult for them to not be popular!

He had accomplished this!

This was a still weak influence, but it had appeared in the Central State City scene and had caused a giant storm!

"Presumptuous!" The mayor angrily stood up, "Central State is not a place you can act this unruly in!"

Chu Tian just stood there with a straight back, acting neither arrogant or humble, "For the mayor to be this angry, I wonder, what has this one done?"

What did you do?

You still have the courage to ask what you've done?

The mayor's plan to establish the Feng Family's name on stage had been completely turned into Chu Tian's one man show! Feng Qingyun had been heavily injured and it would be hard to predict his future, could the mayor not be angry? The mayor wanted to cut him into ten thousand pieces!"

"Sir mayor!" The Chu Family's head Chu Shanhe stood up and a powerful pressure was suddenly released. It felt as if the world was collapsing on them and the sun and moon had disappeared.

The fact that Chu Shanhe could become the Chu Family's head meant that he was not a simple person!

Being able to release such a strong pressure without even releasing his source spirit was enough to show that he was an expert that was above the 4th Awakened Soul Layer and was in the Illustrious Soul Realm. Not to mention the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, it was possible he could be in the 5th or 6th Layer and was close to entering the True Soul Realm!

"This child is a traitor to our Chu Family! He has betrayed his clan and stolen our secrets, he deserves to be chopped into ten thousand pieces!" Chu Shanhe's voice was very stern and his cold eyes stared at Chu Tian. Then he cupped his hand at the mayor, "The Chu Family will take care of this, I hope the mayor won't mind this!"

The mayor sat down in his seat and said with a sinister look on his face, "It's Brother Chu's family matter, so this mayor will not intrude!"

"What Chu Family's matter!" Chu Tian began to loudly laugh, "The Chu Family has abandoned me, so how can I betray them! As for the mayor, you are narrow minded and shortsighted, are you even suited to be sitting in the mayor's position? It is better if you scram as soon as possible!"

The mayor's face turned livid.

Everyone drew in a cold breath of air!

Everyone had heard of how wild South Sky City's Chu Tian was, but they didn't fully believe this. Seeing it today, they learned that it was the truth! The Feng Family had not been in Central State City for long, but even the Four Great Families had to give them face!

Chu Tian actually dared to point at Feng Yunlong and insult him!

What kind of person was Feng Yunlong? He was the Central State City mayor!

If the entire Central State was considered, Feng Yunlong was the number one person suited for this position!

Chu Tian was just a wet behind the ears kid and he dared to insult the city lord of several tens of thousands of cities. Just this one action was enough to cause a giant stir in Central State City!

"You evildoer! Stop your craziness!"

Chu Shanhe soared out through the air and an overwhelming aura quickly slammed into the ground. The entire arena was covered in this aura and it created a deep hole.

"Mountain and River Sword!"

Chu Shanhe raised his hands up and white spirit energy soared into the sky, suddenly condensing into a giant sword. There were two sides to the sword, one reflecting a mountain and the other reflecting a river. It was as if the pressure of the earth were completely pressing down on the world.

This was the source spirit of the Chu Family's head?

Mountain and River Sword!

A sword filled with mountains and rivers!

The strongest family in Central State lived up to its name!

Chu Shanhe's cultivation base was approaching the True Soul level, so summoning his source spirit to attack like this was not something Chu Tian in the Void Soul Realm could resist. If this sword were to reach Chu Tian's body, Chu Tian would die, not leaving a single trace!

This was not a little oppression in terms of cultivation bases!

This was a gap that could not be crossed!

"Stop!"

An old voice rang out and the sky suddenly turned pitch black. Countless thunder clouds filled the air out of nowhere, like it had been conjured from thin air.

In just three seconds.

The thick cloud layer completely covered the sky!

Hong, hong, hong!

Several streaks of lightning fell down from the clouds and landed on Chu Shanhe's sword source spirit. The might of the heavenly thunder completely destroyed the figure of the Mountain and River Sword.

A old man with a white beard and white hair was floating in the sky, standing in the center of the thunder clouds. Thunderbolts shined around his body, making him look like a legendary thunder god, being able to control thunder at will.

Thunder Cloud Source Spirit!

It was actually Yun Tianhe!

The eyes of the people of Central State City opened wide!

The Yun Family's source spirits were all thunder attributed and Yun Tianhe had the "Thunder Cloud Source Spirit" which would allow him to summon thunder clouds out of thin air and using the power of lightning to attack. The most terrifying thing was, Yun Tianhe did not draw on the power of anything else and formed the thunder clouds from the energy in his body. This meant that his cultivation was very close to the True Soul Realm.

"You old undying fool!" Chu Shanhe angrily shouted, "You dare to block me!"

Yun Tianhe was a generation older than Chu Shanhe and should have already retired to become an elder, giving his position as family head to someone else. Only, the Chu Family's situation did not allow Yun Tianhe to retire. That was why this one hundred year old man was still the family head and meant his cultivation was higher.

Yun Tianhe waved his hands and the sky filled with lightning. A terrifying pressure forced Chu Shanhe back several steps. He was usually very kind to him, but now he seemed like a dignified god, "If you want to make a move against him, you have to go through me!"

"An undying old fool using his cultivation to suppress others, I will help you!"

A cruel aura appeared from another direction, it was another family head soaring over. A blood red source spirit was released and it turned into a two headed wolf monster. It was the Ye Family's head, Ye Wudao!

Out of everyone here.

The one that wanted to kill Chu Tian the most was not Chu Shanhe, but rather Ye Wudao!

Chu Tian had the deepest grudge with the Ye Family. When the Ye Family's cavalry had been sent away, wasn't it because of Chu Tian?

"It's the Chu Family's matter, so Old Yun shouldn't care about it this much!"

The Luo Family's head Luo Liancheng was even making a move!

Everyone was stunned watching this. The Central State Great Games had turned into a showoff between the Four Great Families and it was Chu, Luo, and Ye Families against one!

Yun Tianhe revealed a serious frown.

These three were from a younger generation, but Yun Tianhe was too old and had already passed his peak. His spirit energy had declined and even if he was in the True Soul Realm, he was still in the 7th Awakened Soul Layer.

These three family heads were all in the peak of their prime and they even had strength at the 6th Awakened Soul Layer. They were already half a step into the 7th Awakened Soul Layer and had all been geniuses in their youths. If the three of them ganged up on Yun Tianhe, even Yun Tianhe would find it difficult to fight back.

However, Yun Tianhe had no intentions of drawing back, "Alright. To avoid others saying that I as the senior am oppressing others, you three can all come together!"

When the Four Great Families' fight was about to begin.

A cold filled the air and countless glittering snowflakes filled the entire area.

The three family heads' expression changed, "Chen Bingyu! You want to join in as well!"

Chen Bingyu's body was surrounded by a crystal like snow flake as she slowly floated over in the air. She stood behind the three family heads and prepared to attack them together with Yun Tianhe, "Bullying someone with numbers! I can't stand and watch this!"

The mayor and principal couldn't endure this any longer.

"Enough!"

"Are there even rules anymore!"

The two of them jumped off the high stage as if they wanted to get involved as well.

It's over!

It's all over!

When the people of the city saw this, they were filled with fear!

If this fight were allowed to happen, that meant all the top powers in Central State City would be involved. No matter the outcome, it would be a disaster for Central State City!

The family heads and the mayor had gone wild with rage.

They wanted to kill Chu Tian at all costs!

Chu Tian was really like a powder keg, he had caused this much trouble just by appearing. The Four Great Family's heads, the Academy, and the Feng Family, all these powers fighting at once could be considered unprecedented!

Chapter 160: Conclusion

Chu Shanhe, Ye Wudao, Luo Liancheng, Yun Tianhe, the mayor brothers, and Chen Bingyu, they were all top class influences in Central State City. If they were to fight, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not only would the Great Games arena be destroyed, even the audience would not be lucky enough to escape!

When this fierce confrontation was about to begin.

"Stop!"

A calm voice rang out.

"You guys are fighting like this right in front of this marquis, are you even putting me in your eyes anymore?!"

While the Divine Wind Marquis was speaking, his body seemed to lose all gravity and he slowly floated over from his chair. His aura did not seem very strong, but it was something that people could not resist.

The Divine Wind Marquis seemed like a harmless person, but he was someone who received his marquis title after participating in the Spirit Beast Wars. In the past, he had killed countless enemies, sweeping through the battlefield while being bathed in blood for several years. Countless fierce spirit beasts lost their courage once they heard his name, he was definitely a very ruthless person.

Once the Divine Wind Marquis appeared, the aura of the others all weakened.

Chu Shanhe had an ugly expression as he said, "Is the marquis also interfering with my Chu Family's matters?"

The Divine Wind Marquis gently said, "I'm not interested in your Chu Family's matter, but Chu Tian has cured my Caidie's blocked meridian, so I owe him a large favour."

Feng Caidie's blocked meridian had been cured by Chu Tian!

The faces of the family heads turned ugly, it was no wonder the Divine Wind Marquis had appeared in South Sky City to help Chu Tian. It seemed like as long as the Divine Wind Marquis was here, they could not make a move against him.

"The mayor should have the demeanour and spirit of a mayor." The Divine Wind Marquis reproved Feng Yunlong, "It's fine to lose, or do you think we should only allow Feng Qingyun to act arrogantly and cannot allow Chu Tian to shine? Those that are inferior must accept facts, our Feng Family does not have people who can't accept losing!"

The mayor clenched his fist.

He was dissatisfied!

"You are all people with status and you act so petty, even this marquis is embarrassed for you, don't you know? If the leaders are crooked, the descendants will not be virtuous, no wonder you trained your descendants to be so arrogant. To be willing to cripple and put someone to slavery so easily, wanting to kill someone over a single match! People like this who only care about the strength of their own family will not be able to help the kingdom prosper! Keeping a bottom line of not trying to kill Chu Tian as soon as you see him, that is a true genuine martial spirit!"

"We will remember the marquis' lesson!"

Chu Shanhe and the others had to admit defeat.

They could only endure for now.

The Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian looked at Chu Tian, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, "Young man, your progress has even surprised me, I really did not misjudge you. I hope you will keep this up and one day become a pillar of the Southern Summer Country!"

If it wasn't for the Divine Wind Marquis making a move, the trouble today would not have been taken care of.

Chu Tian cupped his hands with gratitude, "Many thanks!"

"The Great Games will now continue!"

The Divine Wind Marquis threw out his sleeve and returned to his seat.

Everyone had no choice but to give the Divine Wind Marquis face as they all returned to their seats with dark looks on their face.

Although all this trouble had occurred, the Great Games were not over yet. There was only Chu Tian and Nangong Yun left on stage.

"Boss, you're truly strong, I have no way of winning!" Nangong Yun revealed an excited look on her face, "But we have never fought before, so let's take advantage of the opportunity today. How about we properly compare notes?"

Chu Tian curled his lips into a taunting smile as he said, "I remember that a certain beautiful woman was going to knock me down on my face! I was so worried that I couldn't fall asleep, but what was the result? I revealed a little bit of my power and she already turned docile!"

"Fuck! I'm scared you're too weak! Watch this move!"

Nangong Yun jumped out with her slender legs and red spirit energy was released, sending the Fire Phoenix into the sky, releasing a clear phoenix cry throughout the arena. A divine beast's might suddenly poured out. Nangong Yun's fists were covered in fire and she punched out four-five times at Chu Tian.

A God Level Source Spirit had a strong amplification ability and Nangong Yun with the power of the Phoenix could increase her strength by several times. Although she still had not reached the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, her attacks could still break through a 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator's protective spirit energy.

"Good move!"

Flames ignited on Chu Tian's Netherworld Sword and he began to send out sword glows with each sword glow blocking a single attack from Nangong Yun. Every time Nangong Yun's fist wind slammed into the sword's edge, the majority of the power was burnt down and absorbed, but only a little portion went into Chu Tian's body.

The Fire Phoneix's power was too strong.

Even the Netherworld Ghost Flame had difficulty burning it.

Chu Tian did not even think and instantly released the Starlight Immortal Body. He released the Demon God's Sword and poured its might into the sword in his hand, increasing its power by several times.

"Netherworld Flickering Flames!"

A burning sword glow shot out at Nangong Yun with a terrifying speed.

Nangong Yun already knew that Chu Tian's sword art was very powerful, so she also immediately released the Starlight Immortal Body. At the same time, she condensed the power of the Fire Phoenix Source Spirit to its peak.

A layer of gold flames covered her from head to toe.

This flame went outside the Starlight Immortal Body, creating another protective layer!

"Break!"

Nangong Yun punched out at the sword glow and hearing a metal clashing sound, the strengthened Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash was redirected. However, the blue and white Netherworld Flames were scattered, landing around Nangong Yun.

Not only did the Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash have a strong might, the Netherworld Ghost Flame it carried was also incredibly fatal. Not only would it weaken any defensive cultivation technique, it would also deal quite severe damage to a person's body.

Nangong Yun realized just how strong the Netherworld Sword was.

This sword had not been restored to its peak, but it was already more dangerous than the Divine Wind Sword in Feng Caidie's hands!

Because of this, Nangong Yun had made her preparations already. Not only did she have the Starlight Immortal Body's barrier, she even coated herself in a layer of Fire Phoenix flames. The Fire Phoenix was very powerful and it was hard even for the Netherworld Flames to burn it away.

With this special defense set up, Nangong Yun could easily block the «Netherworld Flame Sword»!

"Ha, ha!"

"Your sword is no use against me!"

As Nangong Yun blocked the sword glows coming from all four directions, she let out a wild laugh. Chu Tian had not actually used his full strength since Nangong Yun was someone on his side, so injuring her was not a good thing. But seeing that Nangong Yun could easily block the Netherworld Flickering Flame Slash, Chu Tian felt more relaxed.

Not bad!

Not bad!

Nangong Yun really was a top level genius!

In terms of her talent or source spirit, she was even above Chu Xinghe, she was just lacking in opportunity and training. The strength Chu Tian was currently displaying was more than enough to deal with a 3rd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator, but he still could not defeat Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun had already surpassed normal 3rd Awakened Soul Layer experts.

Chu Tian was assured in his heart.

The Demon God's Sword lit up and the demon god's might filled the Netherworld Sword. The sword glow's intensity increased by several times as it shot out at Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun's arms were enveloped in flames as she crossed them in front of her to block!

Peng!

Flames scattered in all directions!

The starlight around Nangong Yun shattered and she was sent flying several meters back, almost falling off the stage.

Chu Tian had already brandished his sword and the flames in the air began to condense into the blade's body. The original three foot long blade suddenly turned into a three meter long giant flaming sword.

"Netherworld Raging Flame Slash!"

When the «Netherworld Flame Sword» was trained to the Small Success Realm, one could release the Flickering Flame Slash. Once it has broken through the Small Success Realm, the cultivation technique will be broken down and refined, allowing one to release the Raging Flame Slash!

Compared to the Flickering Flame Slash, the Raging Flame Slash was much faster, stronger, and more destructive.

The one disadvantage was that the Raging Flame Slash took longer to charge.

While Chu Tian was cultivating the «Netherworld Flame Sword», he had made several optimizations to the technique itself. Chu Tian had integrated the charging stage into the Flickering Flame Slashes, which meant he no longer revealed any opportunities for enemies to take advantage of.

"Let's decide the fight with a single clash!"

Nangong Yun gave a loud roar and the Fire Phoenix turned into countless golden flames. By the time it had reformed itself, it had turned into a giant golden bird.

This was Nangong Yun's newly comprehended move. She had gained inspiration from the «Great Nirvana Scripture» and fused it with the Nangong Family's «Burning the Heaven Art» to create this secret move. Although she still had not given it a name, there was no doubt how strong it was.

Chu Tian vanished once again.

This time he sent out another giant flaming sword glow which flew across the sky at the golden flaming bird. The moment the two collided, an explosion filled the arena as blue and white flames mixed with golden red flames, turning into a giant mushroom cloud.

So strong!

Everyone was completely shocked!

It was no wonder Feng Qingyun lost!

Even if Chu Tian had not participated in the fight, it was not guaranteed that Feng Qingyun would beat Nangong Yun. Nangong Yun's one attack had such a large range and terrifying might. Even with Feng Qingyun's illusion and movement techniques, with such a limited area like this stage, it would be impossible for him to dodge this attack.

Chu Tian's sword split through the flames.

A slash landed right on Nangong Yun!

The starlight surrounding Nangong Yun's body began to fracture and she was sent flying from the flames, right off the stage.

When Chu Tian walked out of the flames, the starlight surrounding him was destroyed by this strong power, "Your attack range is very wide, but the power isn't centered like my attack. If my defense was a little weaker or your attack was a little stronger, perhaps I would have lost."

"It's fine if I lost! I'm completely convinced!" Nangong Yun stood up and revealed a satisfied smile. Chu Tian had shown mercy at the last second, only destroying her defenses and not hurting her at all, "Losing to you isn't shameful! But you shouldn't be too proud, I will catch up to you sooner or later!"

The Great Games had ended!

First place, Chu Tian.

Second place, Nangong Yun.

Third place, Feng Qingyun.

Fourth place, Chu Wufeng.

Fifth place, Ye Hen.

Sixth place, Luo Jinshi.

There were no arguments about these rankings!

Only the ranking from the tournament wasn't the final ranking. According to the rules, after the selection round and the ranking tournament, there would always be a challenge tournament. The first two rounds were over, but the final challenge round hasn't begun yet.

This so called tournament round meant that after the results of the ranking tournament had been determined, if participants disagreed with the results, they could issue a challenge.

Yun Xiao decisively jumped out, "I want to challenge Chu Wufeng!"

The complexions of the Chu Family members turned ugly.

Chu Wufeng had been heavily injured by Chu Tian's sword and it would take at least a year before he could recover. If Yun Xiao challenged him now, would there even be a need to fight?

There was no need to say anything and Yun Xiao directly took Chu Wufeng's position.

Lin Mu challenged Luo Jinshi and Fang Han challenged Ye Hen. In the end, Feng Qingyun was also replaced by Feng Caidie. Feng Qingyun had been half crippled and would not be able to leave his bed for at least a year. He would require at least two-three years to recover, so even if he was a part of the top six, he still would not have a chance to participate in the Central State Trials! It was better to give his position to another member of the Feng Family!

The top six of the Great Games were: Chu Tian, Nangong Yun, Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, Fang Han, and Lin Mu.

The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families almost exploded with rage!

This kind of result had appeared in the end!

Chu Tian had beautifully played them for the fool!

Not only had he defeated the four of them, he had even intentionally heavily injured them without any chance of recovering in a short period of time. This had effectively eliminated them from being qualified to participate in the Central State Trials!

The Central State Trials were very important to geniuses. It was a springboard forward for these geniuses!

The four of them were very strong and if they could train in the Central State Trials, they would have ascended to the next level.

The results were?

They did not have this chance!

Because they had offended someone they could not afford to offend!

Finally the Yun Family's playboy and two crude mercenaries had taken away this chance. The Central State Great Games that was the centre of attention had come to an end!
