Chapter 1457: Wu Fight Number One

“Wow!”

Everyone started to talk at once. Previously, Little Eagle King had only said in front of a group of young masters and young mistresses that he wanted to woo Qi Qingchen. Now, he had actually declared to the entire Earth Domain that he was going after Qi Qingchen’s heart.

Qi Qingchen, however, was as expressionless as that day. She did not waste her breath as her aura started to gather about her. She said coldly, “If you wish to be publicly humiliated, bring it on!”

Buzz!

Little Eagle King’s body glowed green. His battle armor was evidently specially made as the armor on his back automatically split open, and two wings appeared. The horn on his forehead also started to glow as his hands became eagle claws, his eyes shining with a green light. A terrifying aura started to emanate from his body, making everyone feel as if he was a ten-million-year-old Chaos Beast.

“Qingchen, watch out!”

Little Eagle King smiled ghastly as his body flashed, and a screeching, air-splitting sound rang out. Little Eagle King became a beam of green light and flew straight for Qi Qingchen. His speed was so fast that most people on the three spectators’ stands could not even see him clearly. They could only see a green light flashing, and Little Eagle King had already reached Qi Qingchen’s side. His green claw started to slash towards Qi Qingchen’s arm.

“Uh…”

Many people’s hearts’ stopped. At this moment, they all felt a sense of invincibility from this green claw. It seemed as if supreme-grade divine artifacts or even primitive spiritual treasures and dao heaven spiritual treasures would all be destroyed by this attack.

“Awesome!”

To one side—although Yi Tu was no stranger to the Ink Feather Race, he still sighed with admiration. Yi Tu had probably long become a peak-stage Titled God Thearch; he was only lacking that last step to becoming a King-Ranked martial artist. However, he believed that if it was him against Little Eagle King, he would definitely not be able to block this claw attack.

Of course…

The Phantom Race naturally had its strengths. If he used his Art of Concealment, then Little Eagle King would not be able to find him at all. When that happened and Yi Tu launched a sneak attack, who would survive was still debatable. However, Yi Tu was actually a lot older than Little Eagle King. It had to be said that Little Eagle King was indeed very gifted.

Qi Qingchen still had not moved. Her face also did not show any terror at all. She only lightly stretched out one finger and poked gently at the green claw coming towards her. Countless people gasped. Qi Qingchen had actually used one finger to block such a sharp claw? Wouldn’t her beautiful finger be cut into shreds?

Bang!

The duo’s attack speeds were so fast that many people had barely registered them when a sound of metal striking metal rang out ominously. That finger had indeed poked at the center of the green claw. However, Qi Qingchen’s finger did not suffer a sliver of damage while her body had not moved the slightest. On the other hand, Little Eagle King had been sent flying and even tumbled a few times in midair. Little Eagle King finally knelt heavily onto the battle arena, slightly shaking the entire arena.

Ss, ss!

Numerous gasps could be heard from all the spectators’ stands once again. They looked at Little Eagle King—head bowed and genuflecting on the battle arena—and then at Qi Qingchen, standing leisurely in midair; they were shocked to their cores. King-Ranked formidable martial artists were this powerful? Little Eagle King had only launched one attack and had lost?

Bang!

Little Eagle King was evidently not going to give up. One of his hands slapped on the battle arena as his wings extended again, propelling him forward. He once again became a green light as he shot towards Qi Qingchen. He quickly grew close to Qi Qingchen once more. However, the same as before, Little Eagle King was sent flying by Qi Qingchen’s finger, falling backward heavily.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

Pong-pong-pong-pong!

Little Eagle King consecutively flew forward a couple more times. However, he was knocked back every single time. No matter how fast he became, no matter what angle he used, no matter where he attacked; he was—ultimately, without exception—sent flying by Qi Qingchen’s single flick.

Bang!

Little Eagle King once again crashed into the battle arena. This time, he also genuflected on the ground as he lifted his head and looked at Qi Qingchen, expressionlessly. He did not continue his attacks. Instead, a ghastly smile appeared as he said, “Alright! A King-Ranked martial artist is indeed powerful. I have already gotten a wisp of a quintessence; in one year, I will be able to breakthrough as well! Qi Qingchen, wait for me to breakthrough; and then, I will see how you can block my attack. This battle, I admit defeat!”

Swish!

Little Eagle King turned and left. He did not return to the spectator stand but flew directly back to the city. Although he had lost to Qi Qingchen, not a single bit of arrogance on him had disappeared. His back view was still like a sharp treasure sword that everyone was in awe with.

Qi Qingchen did not respond to Little Eagle King; she did not even bother looking at him. She turned and glanced at Yi Tu in the distance. The latter nodded and shouted, “Anyone else wants to challenge?”

No one dared to anymore. Even Little Eagle King had admitted defeat, who would want to embarrass himself by accepting the challenge?

After waiting for a while, Yi Tu announced, “In that case, the number one of the Wu Fight is Qi Qingchen. The battle for number two and three will start now. The rules are the same: everyone will have one chance to battle; the one who remains until the end will be ranked accordingly. Who will start first?”

“I will!”

A shout rang out. Following that, a young man wearing golden battle armor appeared in midair. He was holding a black dagger as he looked around menacingly, saying, “I, Yi Wu, would like to spar with everyone!”

Traditionally, someone from the Yi Clan would start off the proceedings; no one was surprised. This Yi Wu was reportedly even more of a genius than Yi Buhui. However, as he wasn’t from the main branch of the Yi Clan, he was not that well-known. This place was, after all, the Saint Spirit Domain while the Yi Clan was the host. From all three spectators’ stands, many people started to shout out Yi Wu’s name as they waited to see who would step forward to battle him.

Swish!

A man in battle armor flew from a pavilion on the northern side, wielding a black battle saber. He coldly cupped his hands and said, “Ten Thousand Saints Domain, Zhu Qiang, please!”

Buzz!

A white light flashed on Yi Wu as he vanished in midair. Zhu Qiang also instantly closed his eyes as his battle saber shone brightly. Within a second, he furiously chopped towards the left and sparks flew as from that direction, a black dagger appeared. Following that, the dagger suddenly became a few thousand daggers as the midair was filled with Yi Wus. All of them were attacking Zhu Qiang from all directions.

“Ha!”

Zhu Qiang did not panic at all as he spun in midair. His long saber danced along as sounds of metal striking metal rang out repeatedly. Swiftly, Yi Wu’s many selves and daggers all disappeared as he quickly retreated, cupped his hands, and said, “Brother Zhu, thanks for going easy.”

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhu Qiang. Lo and behold, they saw that there was a slash on Zhu Qiang’s battle armor on his back. If Yi Wu had not shown mercy, Zhu Qiang would probably have died. Zhu Qiang also nodded as he flew backward and entered his pavilion once again.

Swish!

Yet, another young man flew out. Although the opponent was from the second most powerful clan in the entire Earth Domain, the many talented people here today were not going to give in so easily. They were extremely excited and raring to spar. That had also made this Wu Fight much more of a happening.

While these battles were going on outside, Jiang Yi’s face was still dark and serious. He did not care about the duels happening at all; he was not at all curious about them. He knew that he didn’t stand a chance at all if he participated.

He wanted to wait for the scholarly tournament to take place and see if he had a chance at participating, to get a ranking and some prizes.

He only had one thought in his mind now: to continuously become stronger. He was going to spare no effort at becoming more powerful. Then, he could kill his way up the Saint Spirit Mountain to rescue Yi Piaopiao and then barge into the Ink Feather Realm and bring Jiang Xiaonu away. He wanted to be the sole dictator of his fate. Whoever stopped him would perish!
