Chapter 1456: Wu Fight
Jiang Xiaonu’s appearance was an unexpected surprise for Jiang Yi; from being dejected and dispirited, he imdiately lit up.
For Jiang Yi, the most important person in his life was Jiang Xiaonu. Even Yi Piaopiao, Yi Chan, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, and the others were ranked behind her. The two of them had been together since young, eking out a living together. Jiang Yi saw Jiang Xiaonu as his closest kin. The two were so used to being together that when they were separated, it felt as if a part of their soul had been separated as well. This whole ti, Jiang Yi had not dared to think of Jiang Xiaonu; he was afraid to go and think about her.
At the banquet yesterday—as the Little Eagle King was the only one who went, Jiang Yi had assud that Jiang Xiaonu had not tagged along this ti. At this mont, he wanted to hit himself on the head. Based on Jiang Xiaonu’s personality, would she go and attend such a banquet? Jiang Yi’s breathing beca more rushed as he stood up suddenly, not being able to control himself. He sent his divine senses out, just about to send a voice transmission to Jiang Xiaonu.
“Jiang Yi! What are you planning on doing?”
Mo Lingqiu’s icy-cold voice transmission rang out as if pouring a bucket of ice water over Jiang Yi’s head. Mo Lingqiu’s extrely stern voice continued: “That young mistress is no longer your maidservant. Her na now is Mu Xiaoyu; she is the Green Eagle King’s precious little daughter! If you dare to make a nuisance, I will imdiately knock you unconscious and throw you inside my interspatial ring. Furthermore... even if I do nothing, if you dare to get near to Mu Xiaoyu, the Little Eagle King would imdiately kill you on the spot. I wouldn’t be able to help you then! Do you understand?
“There is one other matter!”
Mo Lingqiu paused a while as he continued his voice transmission: “According to the news I received, Mu Xiaoyu made a huge fuss when she went back and angered the Green Eagle King. He imdiately sealed her mory. Hence, she cannot rember you now at all. Even if you start sending voice transmissions to her, that would be of no use!”
Plop!
Jiang Yi sat right down on the stone chair instantly. Her mories had been sealed? His montarily lit eyes grew dim again. He looked at Jiang Xiaonu forlornly: this maidservant that he loved the most actually couldn’t rember him now?
Jiang Yi’s peculiar movents had alard Mo Huaisang and the others. Di Ling’er also looked over with concern. Jiang Yi ignored all of them and continued to stare at Jiang Xiaonu. He waited for her to fly over with the Little Eagle King into a pavilion before closing his eyes painfully. This ti, he really decided not to care about anything else anymore; he went into the deepest level of seclusion.
As the Little Eagle King and his entourage disappeared within the pavilion, the Battle Arena resud its calm. After almost one hour—when Qi Qingchen ca, yet another commotion was raised. However, Qi Qingchen was extrely lowkey and flew straight into her pavilion without stopping at all.
After another hour, the tournant finally started.
From the top row of pavilions in the north, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe flew out. He stood on top of the battle arena as his gaze swept across the entire place. His hands pressed downwards as the crowds beca silent. This person’s clear voice rang out, “Everyone, a few months ago, I have received word that the Heaven Domain had engaged in yet another huge battle. Under the command of the Yan Supre Thearch, the human race has won a great victory! We almost completely exterminated one of the thirty-six Netherworld Kings, Ming Yu’s army! The Yan Supre Thearch had also personally slaughtered Ming Yu!”
“Ah? Fantastic!”
“All hail the Yan Supre Thearch!”
“All hail the four Supre Thearchs! All hail the Battle God Pavilion!”
“All hail Lord Yi Tu!”
“...”
From the three spectator’s stands, hundreds of thousands of people roared in excitent. Many young people present were cheering and celebrating; they were extrely elated. Inside the pavilions, Mo Huaisang and company also beca very excited. Di Ling’er’s fists were both clenched tightly as her face was slightly flushed as well.
In the war between the Netherworld Realm and the human race, there was no distinction between the different human factions; they were all essentially human beings. If the Heaven Domain fell, the human race would be finished; and everyone would be enslaved by the Netherworld Realm, forever falling into oblivion.
The awe-inspiring, middle-aged man in the golden robe was called Yi Tu. He was the man that Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen had encountered after they had left the Saint Prison. According to seniority, Jiang Yi even had to call this person his uncle. He was the eldest son of the Phantom King and was also the spokesman for him.
Yi Tu’s hand waved once more as the commotion subsided. His face beca extrely pained as he said in a low voice, “Unfortunately, our losses were heavy this ti. A million God Thearch formidable martial artists perished while six hundred Titled God Thearchs also died. Nine King-Ranked formidable martial artists lost their lives as well!”
Yi Tu’s words silenced the crowd. Everyone’s faces beca extrely sorrowful. These formidable martial artists had died for the human race, so that all of them could continue to live in peace... so that they could co here and participate in this tournant.
Yi Tu paused as he continued, “The fallen are all heroes of the human race. Also, we will be like them sooner or later, heading to the front lines to join in the battle against the Netherworld Realm. This ti, Qi Qingchen has broken through to the King-Ranked Realm. The Wintry Sovereign has already declared that when Qi Qingchen stabilized her breakthrough, he would lead many formidable martial artists from the Wintry Domain to go to the Heaven Domain, to fight the Netherworld Realm to the death.
“As long as the Netherworld Race is not exterminated, he would never return! Let us applaud the Wintry Sovereign; let us express our thanks to all those who had gone before us!”
“All hail the Wintry Sovereign, all hail Young Mistress Qingchen!”
A thunderous roar surged forward as everyone joined in the cheers. However, this news was not unexpected.
It had always been the case where once any domain had a young King-Ranked formidable martial artist, the older Sovereign would bring the elders of that domain up to the Heaven Domain to join in the war. As the older Sovereign had a successor, he no longer had any second thoughts. The previous Phantom King exemplified such. When Jiang Yi’s grandfather had broken through to the King-Ranked Realm, the forr had imdiately gone to the Heaven Domain. He finally perished in battle there.
“Today, we stand here!”
Yi Tu’s tone changed as his voice started to rise. He shouted, “We have co to duel! Not to display our mystical abilities and secret arts or to showcase our gifts and talents, but to encourage and compete against one another through this tournant; so that we all can beco stronger together. We have co to this tournant to tell the whole world what type of responsibility we will be shouldering in the future.
“Everyone present here is among the brightest and most talented in the entire Earth Domain; you all are the hope and guardians of the human race in the future. Only if you all beco stronger can all of you protect the human race and expel—even annihilate—the Netherworld Race... for heaven’s will to prevail and for the human race to prosper forever!”
“For heaven’s will to prevail, for the human race to prosper forever!”
“For heaven’s will to prevail, for the human race to prosper forever!”
Hundreds of thousands of cries rose up together and filled the entire place. Everyone’s morale was raised high; many of the youngest ones even wanted to head up to the Heaven Domain imdiately, to join in the slaughter of the Netherworld Realm, to beco heroes of all mankind and to create a lasting legacy for themselves.
“Alright, let the tournant begin!”
Yi Tu’s gaze looked to the north as he shouted, “Let’s start with the Wu Fight! Qi Qingchen, please!”
Swish!
From a pavilion not far from Jiang Yi and company, Qi Qingchen floated out like a light breeze. Within the blink of an eye, she stood opposite Yi Tu. Qi Qingchen looked very composed and at ease, as if like a nun. She emitted a very comfortable aura that made many n instantly burn hot with passion.
Since the Wintry Sovereign was about to head to the Heaven Domain, that ant that Qi Qingchen was going to beco the new Wintry Sovereign. Whoever could make her his wife would beco the ruler of the Wintry Domain, controlling both a beautiful woman and a huge domain.
Yi Tu took a look at Qi Qingchen and did not spare another word. He raised his hands, silenced the crowd, and explained, “The Wu Fight is supposed to be a place where everyone gets a chance to duel each other. However, since Qi Qingchen has unexpectedly broken through to the King-Ranked Realm, there shouldn’t be much suspense over the results of today’s Wu Fight. Hence, we, the eighteen judges have discussed and decided to accelerate matters.
“Whoever thinks that they can beat Qi Qingchen can step forward to a duel! If there is no one, Qi Qingchen will naturally beco this round’s winner. The prize for the martial arts tournant would also go to her.”
The entire place grew silent!
No one from any of the pavilions moved. It wasn’t that everyone was scared of trying; there really wasn’t a way to beat her. Although Titled Battle Gods and King-Ranked martial artists were only one grade apart, the disparity in battle strength was huge. It was just like a huge dragon fighting a lamb; no one bothered to try.
“Hahaha!”
After waiting a while, a crazed laugh rang out from one of the pavilions as a green figure shot out. It was the Little Eagle King.
He looked raving to go as he said to Qi Qingchen, “Young Mistress Qingchen, I have heard that in order to win over a woman, one has to win her in battle first. Although you are King-Ranked now, I still want to try and beat you into submission.”
