Chapter 157 Xiao Zhenshan Makes a Move
Immediately afterwards, a muffled explosion came from Xiao Li's chest, blasting open a bloody hole.
Fresh blood mixed with charred fragments of internal organs gushed out.
Xiao Li's eyes widened as he slammed heavily onto the arena, falling completely silent.
The martial arts arena, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly fell into dead silence.
Xiao Yan's smile froze completely.
He stared intently at Xiao Xun'er, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "To actually kill Xiao Li...that's interesting..."
I'd like to see how long you, you bastard, can keep jumping around like this!
Sitting on the high platform, Xiao Zhenshan was also extremely surprised, never expecting that Xiao Xun'er would have such strength.
How exactly has she cultivated herself all these years? She's kept it so well hidden...
Although Xiao Zhenshan was surprised, he didn't say anything more.
After all, that's how the rules of the ring are; if you're not as skilled as others, you can't blame anyone else.
At this moment, the training ground erupted in chaos, with shouts and commotion rising everywhere.
"Hiss... Xiao Xun'er killed Xiao Li with a single blow?"
Countless shocked and puzzled gazes were focused on Xiao Xun'er.
The two heads of the Liejiaba family exchanged a meaningful glance.
The power of that attack just now definitely reached the level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
This woman is definitely not the useless person the rumors suggest.
The presiding elder then realized what was happening and waved his hand in acknowledgment.
Several deacons immediately leaped onto the arena and quickly cleaned up the scene.
"Next match! Jia Er, Xiao Yan, versus Ba Xian!" The presiding elder's voice rang out again.
Ba Xian is also at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
He was already shaken by witnessing Xiao Li's tragic death, and upon entering the arena, he immediately prepared to surrender:
"I admit it..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan's sinister smile was already right in front of him.
"Useless trash! Get out of here!" Xiao Yan attacked in anger, his crimson aura surging wildly, even more domineering and violent than before.
A fiery python, much thicker than before, roared out.
"How dare you!" The presiding elder was a Core Formation stage cultivator from the Ba family.
Almost the instant Bashen opened his mouth to surrender.
The presiding elder then unleashed a beam of earth-yellow spiritual light, blocking Ba Xian's path.
The raging Heavenly Fire Python crashed violently into the spiritual light barrier, unleashing a deafening roar.
The barrier shook violently, firmly blocking the fatal blow.
However, the enormous impact transmitted through the barrier still sent Ba Xian flying backward, crashing outside the ring.
"Xiao Yan! How dare you attack when your opponent is about to surrender?!"
The presiding elder, his beard and hair bristling, glared angrily, his immense spiritual pressure instantly locking onto Xiao Yan.
However, since Ba Xian hadn't finished speaking when he surrendered, Xiao Yan's action wasn't considered against the rules.
The presiding elder snorted coldly and said, "You win this round, but if you dare to do it again, you will be severely punished!"
Xiao Yan's face flashed with displeasure when he saw that his attack had been blocked and he had failed to seriously injure Ba Xian as he had hoped.
"Match 2, winner: Xiao Yan!"
The presiding elder announced the results, speaking in a deep voice:
"Match 1, Liejunhe, vs. Ba Jiu!"
After the two went on stage, Lie Junhe's figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost, and the next second he appeared behind his opponent Ba Jiu.
Before Ba Jiu could even react, he felt a chill on his neck as a cold blade was already poking at his vital point.
The chilling killing intent made him freeze instantly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"I give up..." Ba Jiu managed to utter two words before dejectedly lowering his hand.
Lie Junhe remained silent, sheathed his cold blade, and his figure blurred again as he returned to his original position.
"Match 1, the winner, Liejunhe!"
……
The first round of ranking battles ended quickly. "Proving Immortality Through Hextech Runes" is currently causing a reading frenzy on Cola Novels—haven't you read it yet? The top five are:
Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Lie Junhe, Ba Ji.
And another late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Lie family, Lie Huaishuang.
After a short rest, the presiding elder drew lots again.
As the jade slip flew out, Xiao Yan looked at the slip in his hand, then at the slip in Xiao Xun'er's hand, and a cruel yet excited smile slowly spread across his lips.
The two people had the exact same signature number.
"Next match, Xiao Yan versus Xiao Xun'er!" The presiding elder's voice echoed clearly in the arena.
Before going on stage, Xiao Xun'er received a telepathic message from Xiao Zhentian:
"Qian'er, if you are no match for them, don't be stubborn."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er snorted coldly in her heart and stepped onto the arena.
A tense and deadly atmosphere permeated the arena.
Xiao Yan's body surged with crimson energy as he stared at Xiao Xun'er opposite him, secretly transmitting his voice:
"You bastard, you'll pay for my mother's sins with your life right here in this arena!"
Xiao Xun'er's face was icy cold, her eyes sharp, and she spoke directly:
"Revenge? Then let's see who has the best skills!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yan suddenly pushed his hands out.
In an instant, two crimson fire pythons, even thicker and more ferocious than those that fought against Ba Xian, roared out.
They blocked Xiao Xun'er's entire escape route, one on the left and one on the right.
In a corner of the arena, Chen Xu was quietly watching the battle.
He was slightly startled when he saw the aura that Xiao Yan unleashed.
Xiao Yan's strength is indeed quite good, much stronger than Zhao Wujiu and Yu Xuanfeng, and he has barely reached the level of a great sect's prodigy.
Although Xiao Xun'er has been hiding her strength, if she were to fight head-on, she would probably have to pay a considerable price to win...
At this moment, Xiao Xun'er's pupils contracted slightly, and she dared not take the hit head-on.
She moved with incredible skill, nimbly slipping through the gap between the two fiery pythons.
Xiao Xun'er quickly drew a long sword to parry.
She groaned, jolted back several steps, her blood churning.
Xiao Yan pressed his advantage relentlessly, turning the fire python around and unleashing a barrage of fiery fist shadows, his attacks pouring down like a storm.
In an instant, the arena was ablaze with crimson light, and Xiao Xun'er's figure appeared precarious amidst the raging flames.
However, thanks to her exquisite movements, she narrowly escaped danger several times, drawing gasps from the audience.
On the stands, the head of the Lie family stroked his beard and pondered: "Xiao Yan's attacks are fierce and his spiritual power is abundant. He has the upper hand in terms of winning."
Although Xiao Xun'er's movement technique is exquisite, her cultivation level is ultimately a step below, and she probably won't be able to hold out for long.
The head of the Ba family nodded slightly: "This girl...what a pity..."
Xiao Zhenshan, standing to the side, looked expressionless, but a hint of shock flashed deep in his eyes.
I never expected that Xiao Xun'er could hold out against Yan'er for so long.
Watching his son and daughter fight, his heart still leaned towards Xiao Yan...
At this moment, it was clear that Xiao Xun'er was about to fall off the edge of the arena.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she forcefully twisted her body, charging back.
The crimson light of the longsword in her hand surged, transforming into a fiery dragon that pierced straight at Xiao Yan's vitals.
"What?!" Xiao Yan's expression changed drastically, utterly horrified.
The sword was too fast; he didn't even have time to react.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to be struck by the fiery dragon, Xiao Zhenshan made a move.
With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Zhenshan unleashed a massive surge of Core Formation spiritual power that crashed down upon the fiery dragon unleashed by Xiao Xun'er.
The flaming dragon dissipated in response, and the powerful impact backfired, causing Xiao Xun'er to be struck as if by a heavy blow. She groaned and flew backward, crashing onto the edge of the arena.
