57: Chapter 54: Wind and Thunder 57: Chapter 54: Wind and Thunder As Chu Xisheng faced off against Heng Wei from a distance, three women were watching him from outside the arena.
One of them was Xie Zhenqing, who was currently standing on the roof of a high building, looking down.
The Debating Martial Arts Tower was not far from the South Street Temple Market; she had been alarmed when the incident occurred.
She hadn’t expected that after killing that Heluo Fish on the river, Chu Xisheng would stir up such a big commotion at the Ancient Market.
However, after watching two complete battles, Xie Zhenqing felt that the sickly yet beautiful young man on the stage seemed to be shrouded in a halo.
Such elegance, he could almost be painted into a picture——
She then saw the Seventh Rank Rune Eagle Sword in Heng Wei’s hand, and immediately felt both surprised and angry: “This Long Heng, he’s shameless!”
”The Eldest Young Master Long has always been unscrupulous; he doesn’t care what others think.”
Dong Lishan had also come over, stroking his long beard: “But this Chu Xisheng has surprised me.
It seems the rumors about him are not unfounded.
The article we previously wrote was indeed conservative.”
Xie Zhenqing nodded slightly.
After seeing Chu Xisheng’s blade, she began to believe that the Heluo Fish had indeed died at his hands.
Though the Heluo Fish had the cultivation of an Eighth Rank demon, if it was unprepared and too close to Chu Xisheng, it was very likely to be ambushed and killed by him.
Now, however, she was more worried about Chu Xisheng’s life.
From Heng Wei’s stance on stage, Xie Zhenqing could tell he was a master of the Nine Palace Sword.
The Rune Eagle Sword in his hand was extraordinary; even an entry-level martial cultivator wielding it would have the combat power of a Ninth Grade.
At this moment, Dong Lishan let out a ‘hmm’, his body trembled slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: “This battle has become interesting.”
”What’s interesting?” Xie Zhenqing turned her head to look at Dong Lishan curiously: “Old Dong, what have you seen?”
Old Dong beside her, though not high in cultivation, only an Eighth Rank, was a veteran compiler in the Debating Martial Arts Tower and had been working as a proofreader for twenty-five years, having seen countless martial cultivators and possessing great knowledge.
He also had the talent of Eagle Eye, with extraordinary insight.
“It’s Sword Intent, a kind named ‘Vengeful’.
I was lucky to see the Dominating Martial King use it once in her youth.”
Dong Lishan clicked his tongue: “I didn’t expect that after sixteen years, someone else has mastered this Sword Intent.”
Xie Zhenqing frowned slightly, thinking, so what about Sword Intent?
The Sword Intent understood by a Ninth Grade martial cultivator, no matter how strong, was limited and couldn’t offset the advantages of the Rune Eagle Sword.
Dong Lishan didn’t explain further, watching the boy on the stage intently.
This boy’s survival depended on the degree to which he had comprehended his Sword Intent.
The ‘Vengeful Blade Intent’ that he had seen Qin Muge use grew stronger with the number of enemies around.
And there were no less than three hundred martial cultivators on site shouting to kill Chu Xisheng?
Dong Lishan thought highly of this Sword Intent; it was a pity that Qin Muge hadn’t continued on this path to re-enact the glory of the past ‘Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’.
But Qin Muge was ultimately Qin Muge, one unique individual in the world.
This boy named Chu Xisheng could not compare with the Dominating Martial King, who had reigned supreme in the Northern Territory for twelve years.
On the other side of the stage, hidden among the crowd, Lu Luanti had already cast two Light Body and Strong Body spells on herself, while preemptively holding a Fifth Grade Jade Talisman in her left sleeve.
She was ready to jump up and save Chu Xisheng before the three-beat drum sounded, carrying him away.
This might expose her identity, but she couldn’t just watch this guy die.
After all, she had made a guarantee to help Chu Xisheng against the Long Family.
Just then, Lu Luanti felt her sleeve being tugged.
She turned her head to find Chu Xisheng’s sister, Chu Yunyun.
Lu Luanti showed confusion and suspicion.
Did this girl recognize her?
She was currently masked and had even changed the color of her clothes using talismanic magic.
Lu Luanti pretended to look confused at Chu Yunyun, while roughening her voice: “Girl, why are you pulling my sleeve?”
Chu Yunyun smiled and pointed to Lu Luanti’s head: “Senior Sister Lu, you forgot to change your accessories.”
After spending more than ten days together, she had grown quite fond of this girl’s personality.
Indeed, as Chu Xisheng had said, she was both pure and honorable, sometimes a bit clumsy.
Lu Luanti touched her head and realized that her beloved rose gold-plated hairpin was still on top of her head.
Feeling embarrassed, Lu Luanti removed the hairpin and put it in her sleeve, then her expression turned serious: “Alright, Yunyun, you go first, head towards North Street.
To be honest, I am dual-cultivation in magic and martial arts, of Seventh Rank.
With me here, I can guarantee your brother’s safety.
We will meet at North Street later.
She could no longer hide her strength and identity from Chu Yunyun.
Initially fond of Lu Luanti, Chu Yunyun’s lips twitched upon hearing the word ‘good’.
She forced a stiff smile: “Senior Sister Lu, you’re righteous, but could you wait a moment?
Look at my brother——”
Lu Luanti followed her pointing finger and saw Chu Xisheng stretching a hand toward her, palm down in a pressing gesture.
This was likely a signal for her to stay calm.
However she frowned deeply, wanting to keep Lu Luanti from intervening at this crucial moment.
Chu Yunyun knowing just a slight gesture from Chu Xisheng wasn’t enough to persuade Lu Luanti.
“Senior Sister Lu, my brother’s engraved secret technique totem isn’t ‘Empty Wind’, but ‘Wind and Thunder’!”
Lu Luanti let out a soft exclamation and looked at Chu Xisheng on the stage.
Even if Chu Xisheng had the Wind and Thunder Totem, could he win?
Still, it was worth watching a bit longer——
Chu Xisheng, on stage, saw Lu Luanti release her hand from her sword; his mind settled slightly, and he looked at Heng Wei.
He had absolute confidence in winning and didn’t want Lu Luanti intervening, causing endless variables, endless troubles.
“What are you looking at?”
Heng Wei scanned where Chu Xisheng had been staring, then his eyes showed surprise: “Is that your sister?
Quite beautiful, what a pity——”
His master, Long Heng, was notoriously ruthless, ensuring that all threats were eradicated.
Second Young Master Long Sheng was narrow-minded and vengeful; at a young age, he already had several women.
Chu Yunyun, would likely fall into Long Sheng’s hands.
Chu Xisheng pressed the handle of his knife, his face calm: “I didn’t expect to meet a fellow sect member on the Life and Death Arena.
But since we’ve met, I won’t hold back.”
Heng Wei laughed hard: “In the Life and Death Arena, there are no fellow sect members.
Besides, we’re not formal disciples of the Xiangshen Sect, just mere disciples of the Martial Arts Academy.
Why follow any no-conflict rules?”
Just as the second drum sounded, everyone outside the arena remained silent, waiting quietly.
“The same words, I want to say,” Heng Wei’s eyes turned cold: “Today I will have your head!”
Chu Xisheng didn’t reply, he nodded slightly, focusing entirely on Heng Wei.
Ten breaths later, the red-clad strong man in front of the northern drum made the drumming gesture.
Heng Wei, ahead of the drumbeat, drew his sword with a sharp ‘clang’.
Despite holding the Rune Eagle Sword, he feared he couldn’t deflect Chu Xisheng’s Draw Sword Style ‘Empty Wind’.
Thus, Heng Wei drew his sword first, even before the drum sounded!
He always remembered that his purpose was to kill, not to spar.
As Heng Wei’s sword was halfway out, the drum sounded loudly.
Chu Xisheng’s knife, at that moment, unsheathed angrily.
His hand moved with such speed, creating an arc of indistinguishable blade light in the air.
In the next moment, a ‘clank’ sounded between them.
Heng Wei blocked Chu Xisheng’s knife three inches from his throat, golden sparks flying from the clash.
Heng Wei smirked mockingly.
Chu Xisheng hadn’t managed, using the secret technique totem, to decapitate Heng Wei, so now it was Heng Wei’s turn.
At that very moment, Heng Wei felt a heavy blow to his head as if struck by a mighty hammer, causing him to reel with stars in his eyes, his consciousness blurry, momentarily losing awareness.
heng wei first thought of this词,极端的恐惧心念 在他心中滋 生.
可 chu XX 像 所说的不仅仅是豪玄元武 修道之how 可能 也 有如此 重 的刀意?
wui极力地with仃的 individual 被 class至一
By the time of Chu Xisheng’s second attack from behind, Heng Wei lay defenseless against the seventeen-style ‘Wind and Thunder’!
Chu Xisheng, in full vitality, without reserves.
The Next Moment, Heng Wei’s head flew high, spewing blood into the air.
