There were only six people remaining on the pagoda. They were: Qin Wentian, Lou Bingyu, Lin Xian`er, the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect, Poison Scorpion, as well as the young man clad in luxurious robes whom Qin Wentian had noticed earlier.
Qin Wentian cast a deep glance at Poison Scorpion. Indeed as he had expected, the remaining people were all extremely dangerous characters. The Sky Poison Valley was one of the nine great sects. Since this brown-eyed young man was able to cause Lin Xian`er's expression to change, he naturally had his own terrifying aspects. Not only that, he had already displayed to everyone how dangerous he was. "That's right.
Although he had only acted once, and it wasn't even a frontal attack but a poison attack, this caused everyone to feel even more trepidation. The more dangerous a person was, the more fatal they would be. He was able to kill people without even noticing, and earlier, he had already killed four powerful Heaven Chosen. If they were to fight against each other, they would have to experience countless rounds of intense battles before they could eliminate those four.
"Indeed, I feel much more comfortable now." As the sound of Poison Scorpion's voice faded, the young man in luxurious robes continued to speak. His deep eyes seemed to contain a dangerous aura of destruction as he swept his gaze across the other five. Every single one of them wanted to get a clear idea of who their enemies were. To them, aside from themselves, everyone else was an enemy.
"I have a suggestion. Why don't we make an agreement? Starting from a certain person, we will take turns to fight, allowing him to fight to his heart's content. The others are not allowed to interfere, and we will see who will be blasted off the pagoda. How about it?" The gaze of the young man in luxurious robes lingered on Lou Bingyu for a moment.
"Can you guarantee that the others will follow the agreement? What if there are people scheming against us? "Lin Xian`er gently asked, as she glanced at Poison Scorpion who was beside her.
"That would require everyone to be more careful. For example, if I'm in a state of constant attack, if there are people scheming against me, I would be the only one fighting against them. But the moment I stop, you guys have to be on your guard. Don't be like earlier, getting bitten by a poisonous scorpion." The young man in luxurious robes casually laughed. "Naturally, if there are people who don't wish to initiate an attack, they can choose to skip it."
"I don't have any objections." A strange glint flashed in Poison Scorpion's brown eyes, causing the crowd to laugh coldly in their hearts. Of course he wouldn't have any objections. In terms of sneak attacks, Poison Scorpion of the Sky Poison Valley should be the most proficient. The others were all on guard against him.
"At least this way, the battle wouldn't be so chaotic. I have no objections." The Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect was extremely confident in his own strength, hence, he agreed.
"Since all of you have put it this way, Xian`er can only agree. However, if Xian`er is truly not a match for them, I hope that you can show mercy and at the very least give Xian`er a chance to escape. Even if I miss this chance and have no way to enter the pagoda again, Xian`er can only accept it." The smile on Lin Xian`er's face caused the hearts of those who saw it to stir. It was truly hard for them to kill such a beautiful woman.
Lin Xian`er's display of weakness caused the crowd to feel extremely puzzled. Earlier, those who were defeated had all died, there was no chance for them to escape. The reason why Lin Xian`er could say such words was because she was a female, causing people to not mind it that much. If it was the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect, it would be impossible for him to say such humiliating words. But naturally, there was another reason. It would cause people to look down on her.
Qin Wentian smiled, tacitly agreeing. Lou Bingyu didn't say anything, she was as cold as ever. She didn't deny nor reject.
"Since this is the case, let me be the first to attack." The young man in luxurious robes still had a faint smile on his face. However, the aura radiating from him caused people to feel an increasing sense of danger. He lifted his palms as a scorching heat instantly gushed forth, bringing with it the power of annihilation.
He stretched his hands out and pressed them into the pagoda. Instantly, his attack blasted towards the crowd. The crowd only felt the silhouette of the young man in luxurious robes appearing before their eyes, launching an attack directly at them.
Qin Wentian lifted his palms and blasted them towards the incoming attack. However, he only saw the lips of his opponent curling up in a cold smile. A violent surge of flames erupted forth as a pair of blood-colored flaming wings appeared on his back. A fearsome heat gushed forth, and as he pressed his palms downwards, Qin Wentian could see numerous blood-colored phoenixes flying towards him, exuding boundless might.
Qin Wentian's blood surged as a blood-colored light towered up into the skies. His body was clad in demonic armor as he blasted out with his arms, colliding head-on with the sharp claws of the blood-colored phoenix. He only felt his arms trembling violently from the impact.
Phoenix cries resounded through the nine heavens. His opponent spat out streams of black-colored flames. Each of the flames was like a flower of destruction, containing a fearsome killing might. Qin Wentian blasted out with both his palms at the same time, causing rumbling sounds of his palms to shatter the heavens and earth, clashing violently against the descending fireballs.
Just like what they had agreed, the young man in luxurious robes continued to unleash attacks while the other five were defending. However, the young man in luxurious robes was only one person, it was impossible for his attacks to target all five of them at the same time. He could only target one person at a time, and the one who was having the hardest time facing his attacks was none other than Lou Bingyu. This was because the young man in luxurious robes was clearly targeting her defense, and was constantly adjusting his attacks.
The young man in luxurious robes was proficient in fire-attributed energy, while Lou Bingyu was proficient in ice. Fire and frost collided, and their battle was the most intense.
The young man in luxurious robes was surnamed Li, he was a heaven chosen from the Li Clan in the southern domain of the Royal Sacred Region, Li Hantian. He was also the elder brother of the personal disciple of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness, Li Hanyou. He knew that Lou Bingyu was the senior apprentice sister of his younger sister, and was even more highly regarded by the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness compared to his younger sister, Li Hanyou. In addition, back then when they fought in Ye Country, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness snatched away Ye Qingyun's treasure and gave it to Lou Bingyu.
And now, Li Hantian actually wanted to determine who was superior and who was inferior to Lou Bingyu.
"Have you had enough?" A cold voice rang out from Lou Bingyu's mouth, containing a hint of killing intent, causing those who heard it to involuntarily shiver.
"The anger of a beauty is actually so moving." Li Hantian teased. The coldness radiating from Lou Bingyu grew stronger and stronger, faintly exuding an aura that could freeze mountains and rivers. The entire space started to freeze, and a terrifying coldness gushed forth from Lou Bingyu's body. She then spoke, "Since you want to fight, I shall grant you your wish."
As the sound of her voice faded, Lou Bingyu stepped out, as though she had also rushed into the pagoda. At this moment, the pressure on Qin Wentian and the others abruptly vanished. They only saw two silhouettes within the pagoda's glow. These two silhouettes were none other than Lou Bingyu and Li Hantian.
Lou Bingyu was evidently enraged. She unsheathed her sword, the coldness radiating from it was akin to a sword of ice.
As the sword manifested, the frost within a thousand miles transformed into snow. Sword qi danced in the air as the phoenix bathed in flames was covered in a layer of frost. Li Hantian's countenance drastically changed. At this moment, he actually felt an overwhelming might radiating from Lou Bingyu. He knew that he had still underestimated this woman. She was the most favored disciple of the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness.
Lou Bingyu's sword pierced out, dispelling the frost within a thousand miles. This sword strike of hers was more than twice as powerful as the one she used earlier. Li Hantian wanted to retreat, yet he only saw the gigantic frost sword extending out, slashing apart the blood phoenix. Just when Li Hantian wanted to retreat from the pagoda, the sword slashed apart his body. But before blood could flow out, his body had already been frozen solid.
Another Heaven's Chosen had fallen.
The Battle Sword Sect had the strongest individual combat prowess among the nine great sects. Although it was impossible for every disciple to be the strongest, the average strength of those outstanding disciples could indeed suppress the other sects. Although this Lou Bingyu wasn't as famous as the era-suppressing genius Ji Feixue, just based on the magnificence of that sword strike, she shouldn't be too far off.
Not only that, everyone also knew that within her body, the Plum Mountain Sword Sovereigness had obtained the Human Emperor's Treasure for her.
Lou Bingyu retracted her sword and stood at her original location from the start till the end. But earlier, the spectators had clearly seen the battle between her and Li Hantian within the pagoda. This was the marvelous aspect of the pagoda.
The remaining five took another step forward, getting closer to the top of the pagoda. However, the hearts of the spectators were extremely heavy because the remaining opponents were getting stronger and stronger.
"It's your turn, Poison Scorpion." The Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect spoke. Poison Scorpion's brown eyes swept over everyone as he launched his attack. A gust of fishy wind gushed over, causing Qin Wentian to instantly hold his breath. At the same time, a screen of swords appeared around him, dissipating the poisonous gas.
The fishy wind continued gushing out, causing the vision of the spectators to gradually turn blurry. Qin Wentian stared at the fishy wind in front of him as he furrowed his brows. After which, he saw a gigantic scorpion king clad in armor, swinging its tail straight at him.
"Is this Poison Scorpion a human or a demon?" The hearts of the spectators trembled. A blood-colored ancient halberd appeared in Qin Wentian's hands as he violently smashed it towards the scorpion's tail. At the instant of impact, the scorpion's tail was directly shattered into pieces. Droplets of fresh blood gushed out, shooting towards Qin Wentian with lightning speed.
Qin Wentian's left hand swiftly blasted out a palm strike, slapping away the droplets of blood. However, that poisonous scorpion continued getting closer and closer, stabbing towards him.
This caused Qin Wentian to hesitate. After which, a cold glint of light flickered in his eyes as the ancient halberd pierced forwards. Piercing sounds rang out as the venomous scorpion was torn apart. Drops of fresh blood gushed out, transforming into a rain of blood.
Qin Wentian waved his hand, and instantly, a blood-colored light filled with a destructive current soared up into the air, engulfing the rain of blood.
"How dangerous," Qin Wentian silently mused. The blood of this poisonous scorpion was something he mustn't touch.
At this moment, a cold and sinister beam of light shot over, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble violently as a sense of extreme danger rose in his heart.
"Hehe, this isn't right." A crisp sound rang out as that sense of danger vanished. After which, Qin Wentian saw two silhouettes clashing within the pagoda. So it turned out that earlier when the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect wanted to launch a sneak attack, he was intercepted by Lin Xian`er.
"Previously, I've always wanted to spar with Fairy Lin. Now, it's the perfect time." The Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect laughed as the two of them clashed. "Me too." Another voice rang out. Poison Scorpion actually rushed into the battlefield, shooting out a beam of blood-colored light towards Lin Xian`er, turning the situation into a chaotic battle between the three of them.
"The two of you are bullying a weak girl like Xian`er. Isn't this a little too ungentlemanly?" Lin Xian`er's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light. She was preparing to leave the battlefield, but she soon discovered that she couldn't do so. It was as though the moment she entered this battle, she would never be able to leave.
