On the third day of the tournament, cold winds howled and heavy rain poured down.
However, even the raging thunder could not stop the battle.
The old eunuch was very serious in his work. The news of Xie Tian reaching the Lesser Innate Realm spread throughout the capital.
Therefore, countless spectators had come because of Xie Tian, and all the important figures above the elder level of the aristocratic families had come because of Xie Tian. When Elder Gong stood up in the heavy rain and was about to announce the start of the competition, he saw a golden jade carriage approaching the arena in the thunderstorm. Then, he shut his mouth.
The emperor had arrived.
"Today's weather is not good. Don't worry about me. Do as you please." Zhao Ye looked at the skinny youth on the arena. He was like a stabilizing force in the raging sea. He was slightly happy. After stepping onto the judge's platform, he glanced at the dumbfounded crowd kneeling on the ground and smiled. "Why didn't the Grand Marshal and the Great General come for such a grand event?"
An elder of the Xu Clan hurried forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the Chu Nation is ready to make trouble. The Grand Marshal and the Great General are discussing military affairs at the Ministry of War. Your Majesty, please forgive us!"
Zhao Ye chuckled and sat on the dragon carriage that the old eunuch had just prepared. "What's wrong with helping me and contributing to the nation? You may all rise. Gong Chengan, I heard that there is a young genius in the Song Nation. I am only here to join in the fun. There is no need to report anything. Do as you see fit. "
Hearing this, Gong Chengan kowtowed and thanked the emperor. He expressionlessly faced the arena and looked at the motionless Xie Tian with a complicated gaze. He coldly shouted, "The third day of the tournament, begin!"
Brother Ma, who was panting, finally arrived at the entrance of the casino. He didn't even have time to wipe the rain off his face. He shouted, "402 gold on Xie Tian!"
After saying this, his heart tightened. He hurriedly looked at the dazed Boss Jia and smiled, "Boss, are you betting on Xie Tian?"
"Yes!" Boss Jia shouted without hesitation. Then, he smiled. "I've been gambling for decades. This is the best bet I've ever had!"
Chen Qin stared blankly at Xie Tian who was on the arena. In his eyes, Xie Tian didn't seem to have changed at all. He was still that lonely youth on Dark Mist Mountain, the brave youth who had left Yangshuo City, and the sad youth who had left the arena.
Was there really no change? He shook his head naturally.
Zhou Zhaoyang, the blade-wielding martial artist of Ghastly Mist Mountain, Sword and Saber Dual Master …
In the short span of two months, Xie Tian's opponents were each stronger than the last. Today, he even wanted to challenge Liu Yang, who represented the uncrossable red line …
Liu Yang was only 18 years old and had reached Inner Qi Stage 2. Together with Xu Zhantang and Zhou Zhaoyang, he was known as the Three Heroes of Bianliang. His cultivation was much higher than Xie Tian's! Higher than the heavens!
Chen Qin slowly raised his neck to look at the sky. He only stopped when the back of his neck was sore.
In his eyes, a young eagle fighting against the wind and rain appeared. This young eagle was Xie Tian who had stepped on countless people to ascend to the heavens. The dark clouds above the young eagle's head were the uncrossable red line of the Brute Force State.
Either he passed through the clouds and faced the bright sun, or he was struck by lightning and turned into ashes. He seemed to see the young eagle's ending. His face darkened.
"I'm not that close to you. Stay away from me!" Zhou Boran frowned and shouted at Liu Xiaoju, the head of the Liu family.
Liu Xiaoju narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Zhou Boran, you don't have to go that far. No matter what, you and I are in-laws. How could you …"
"Pfft!" Zhou Boran laughed disdainfully. "Colluding with all the aristocratic families to force Elder Gong to abdicate and change the order of the tournament. How could I have such a shameless in-law! Don't worry. Even if my son is a bachelor for the rest of his life, he won't marry your daughter. Otherwise, my son will be green in the future! "
"You!" Liu Xiaoju's face darkened. He turned to look at Zhao Ye, then pointed at Zhou Boran and scolded, "What benefits did Xie Tian give you? Yesterday, you defended him all the time. Don't forget, your son was almost killed by Xie Tian!"
"I'm just asking for justice. I'm asking for a clear conscience!"
Liu Yang slowly walked onto the arena, not a single drop of rain on him.
Xie Tian raised his head and looked at Liu Yang with a piercing gaze.
Compared to yesterday, Liu Yang had changed a lot. There was no longer that arrogant sneer on his face. Although there was still contempt in his eyes, it disappeared when his gaze fell on Xie Tian.
He couldn't look down on anyone who had reached the Minor Connate Realm.
But so what?
Even a Minor Connate Realm cultivator couldn't cross that line!
Liu Yang didn't feel any jealousy or resentment, only excitement and fanaticism. He couldn't reach the Minor Connate Realm, but he could kill a peerless genius of the Minor Connate Realm in front of everyone in Bianliang City!
This was the greatest honor of his life! And also the greatest opportunity!
After killing Xie Tian, his Martial Heart would advance by leaps and bounds. He could easily surpass Xu Zhantang, and he could even surpass Li Jian of the Chu Kingdom and become the true number one genius of the Wan Province!
The blood flowing in Liu Yang's body was already boiling, burning his desire to fight!
"Remember what I said," Liu Yang smiled brightly and pointed at Xie Tian. He said word by word, "I won't humiliate you, but I'll cut off your head with my own hands and keep it as a memento for all eternity!"
"Bow to each other!" The referee shouted!
Liu Yang casually cupped his fists, and Xie Tian bowed slightly …
The referee didn't need to say anything else. The battle began the moment they bowed!
In the curtain of rain that blanketed the sky and covered the earth, there were two balls of rainwater that were moving toward each other.
One was like a pair of fists cupping each other, and the other was like a tiger leaping over a mountain stream.
The two fists went straight for the tiger's heart, and the ferocious tiger roared at the world!
It was just a bow, but Liu Yang's cupped fists moved seventy percent of the inner Qi in his body. He controlled the rainwater around him to transform into a giant cupped fist and threw it at Xie Tian!
Xie Tian bowed slightly. The skin under his shirt trembled, and all the rainwater flew into the air. The rainwater transformed into the shape of a howling mountain tiger, leaping out of his spine and attacking Liu Yang!
Seventy percent inner Qi in a single hug!
Two moves in a single bow!
The battle had only just begun, but most of the people on the referee stand stood up in shock!
The fists and the tiger met. Amidst the roaring thunder, there was a strange sound. It sounded like a hammer, or the sound of a knife …
It hammered the hearts of the crowd. Shock! Depressing!
It struck the eyes of the crowd like lanterns. Staring! Dumbfounded!
After the collision, the rainwater that formed the cupped fist and the fierce tiger finally ended this strange adventure. It gathered in the rain again, flowed on the ground, and returned to its fate.
Liu Yang's lips curled into a smile, and he took three steps forward.
A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of Xie Tian's mouth, and he took three steps back.
One used seventy percent of his strength, and the other used his full strength. The first clash should have been evenly matched, but Xie Tian was completely defeated.
Everyone saw the trace of blood at the corner of Xie Tian's mouth. Even under the washing of the rain, the blood was still extremely glaring. It was as if this blood was the red line in front of Xie Tian that could not be crossed …
Zhao Ye glanced at the old eunuch. The old eunuch understood and whispered into his ear, "The difference is too great … Within ten moves, he will definitely lose."
Elder Gong's chest slowly contracted, and he exhaled a complicated turbid breath.
He could not forget the scene of the dozen or so family heads coming together yesterday afternoon. The little straw hut he was in had almost been overturned by the aura of these people.
When Liu Xiaoju took out the letter with Xu Batian's signature, he took out the tournament registration book and the battle list, and then left the little straw hut silently.
In fact, he really wanted to tell these people that even if they didn't use any tricks, Xie Tian would not be able to defeat a Stage Two Inner Qi practitioner. You can rest assured …
It was useless … As he stood at the door and looked at the old faces in the little straw hut, he knew this. Because what he saw on their faces was not seriousness, but jealousy.
Jealous of what?
Minor Innate.
How old were they to be jealous of a twelve-year-old child?
Elder Gong laughed. He laughed at these people's shamelessness. Elder Gong was angry, angry at these people's despicability!
Watching Xie Tian take three steps back in the arena with blood at the corner of his mouth, the thought in Elder Gong's mind became more and more real. Suddenly, a face appeared in his mind. This face had not called him grandpa for a long time.
In the arena, a hand reached towards the sky, and then raised three fingers.
"Three moves." Two sonorous words came out of Liu Yang's mouth. Through the curtain of rain, it smashed into everyone's ears.
Xie Tian did not respond. He looked up at the sky and took off his black clothes.
He had money, but did not know how to use it. If he had known that cotton was more absorbent than silk, he would not have worn this set of clothes to compete with Liu Yang, who was wearing silk.
The heavy clothes had become a burden to him, so he had to take them off.
When the countless scars on his upper body were exposed to the crowd, the dark cloud in the sky instantly struck down several bolts of lightning, striking everyone's hearts.
Just as everyone was shocked by the scars, Xie Tian answered Liu Yang seriously.
"Three moves, you can't kill me …" As if afraid that Liu Yang would not believe him, he added, "I'm serious."
What answered Xie Tian was a furious green palm that split the curtain of rain in half!
"First move!"
Gravel Netherspirit Palm!
The furious palm could not block the wind and rain in the city, nor could it disperse the curtain of rain on the arena, but it could turn the curtain of rain between the two into a cone-shaped rain arrow that shot out first!
The first thing that Xie Tian had to face was probably this rain of arrows.
But the countless raindrops that formed this rain arrow seemed to be the embodiment of Liu Yang's killing intent. The rain arrow that shot towards Xie Tian was filled with a suffocating killing intent!
"What a good one move, three moves!" Liu Xiaoju could not help but clap his hands in praise. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Boran's cold mocking voice, "It was clearly three moves of the Gravel Netherspirit Palm, and you still have the nerve to say one move, truly shameless!"
Liu Xiaoju's face turned pale from anger, but he was powerless to refute. Zhou Boran was right, Liu Yang's move was three moves of the Netherspirit Palm. It looked like one move, three moves, but in reality, there were three other moves.
"Hmph, so what if it's three moves?" Liu Xiaoju rolled his eyes and sneered, "The Gravel Netherspirit Palm is a top rank inner qi realm cultivation method of my Liu family that is not passed on to outsiders. Zhou Boran, collect that kid's corpse!"
Killing intent, rain arrow, giant palm, one after another …
Unable to face it, Xie Tian could only retreat.
He retreated in a sorry state, just like the first time he fought against Zhou Zhaoyang. Every step he took landed heavily on the ground, each step heavier than the last. Two inches of puddles of water splashed up like lotus flowers, each one taller than the last … ….
The fourth lotus of the Primordial Chaos Pillar!
The killing intent was formless, and each lotus flower had its own will. The suffocating killing intent was instantly split into dozens of pieces by the blossoming lotus flowers. Although the killing intent still reached Xie Tian, it was no longer a killing intent that could injure people, but a light breeze that blew against his face.
In the light breeze, Xie Tian's long hair danced wildly in the wind. He retreated two steps and watched the thick rain arrow land on the first lotus flower …
Followed by the second, the third, the fourth …
When the rain arrow that was aimed straight at Xie Tian's abdomen streaked across the water ladder made of dozens of water lotuses, it brushed past Xie Tian's head and flew into the air.
Facing this incomparably strange scene, no one felt that it was strange. They knew very well why the rain arrow missed.
Because the dozens of lotus flowers that gradually rose up formed a ladder to the sky. The rain arrow that was of the same origin as the lotus flowers followed along the ladder and shouted for freedom, breaking free from the giant palm's control and merging into the curtain of rain.
Even if they knew the reason, this scene still left everyone dumbfounded.
Liu Xiaoju's sneer froze on his face, Zhou Boran forgot to close his mouth, Elder Gong's eyes shone, and Zhao Ye couldn't help but stand up and walk to the edge of the referee stand. This scene was much more interesting than the dance in the palace.
