“Oh, that is interesting. This person looks somewhat competent. Not only did he make a name for himself, he also wants to directly become an elder of ours. That’s quite ambitious!”
“Xiao Xiao, any unaffiliated who made it to the rank of martial king would be someone who had made a name for themselves. Otherwise, they’d never be able to obtain the kind of resources necessary. These types of individuals are usually quite vicious!”
“Well, of course. Otherwise they would have been dead long time ago!”
As they were chitchatting away, the two on the stage had already began the fight!
One was using a sword and one a single-edge sword!
The lights reflected from the two swords could be seen all of the place!
BOOM!
The blade of the swords met in an extreme collision. With a loud, thunderous BOOM, the two on the stage was shocked and pushed backward by the shockwave caused from it.
The two separated as soon as they made contact!
And that did not stop them!
All of the crowd’s attention was attracted to the flight between the two martial kings. Zongzheng Zhuxuan leaped up like a spring and his single-edge sword swiped through the air and a phantom image from the sword turned into bright light, aiming straight at his opponent!
The terror Gu Chengli was unmistakable!
With a shift of his body, he started backing up quickly. Every body thought he was trying to avoid the sword of light, but suddenly, he turned and tremendous qi exuding from him all of a sudden. Without any hesitation, he gritted his teeth and charged at his opponent again. With a shake of his sword, he created a light beam sword that struck straight out. The swift and fierce sword light sliced the air and made a sharp and grinding noise.
KANG! KANG! KANG!
Everybody watching had lost count of how many times their swords had come into contact. There were no reservation in their vicious way of attacking each other.
The crowd was stunned by the performance.
Spectacular!
The crowd couldn’t help but sighed that the skill level of these two martial artists were truly above what they have seen so far.
“AAARRGGHHH!”
With a blood-curdling screen, the crowd just saw a stream of blood shoot out from the middle of the air and a body, spinning, flew out several meters and flew off the stage like a leave in the fall.
Zongzheng Zhuxuan had won!
At this moment, the way everybody looked at him was full of respect, mixed with a lot of angst.
As they were both martial kings, it would not be an easy task for them to defeat their opponent.
Nobody expected that Zongzheng Zhuxuan, a martial king, would have swept his opponent of equal level off the stage as effortlessly as if he was doing nothing more than sweeping away a fallen leave.
Incredible! One must recognize that he was surely a very powerful man!
“Zongzheng Zhuxuan is the winner!” announced Old Man Ying nonchalantly. He was not stunned like everyone else. From his perspective, the performance was just alright. Surely, their speed was up there, but comparing to battles between martial emperors or martial monarchs, it was as interesting as watching children fighting.
Before the audiences could react, his eyes, which were looking down until now, lit up with a light that was strong enough to intimidate everyone. He scanned across everyone below the stage and said, “Anyone who’d like to challenge him? If not, then Zongzheng Zhuxuan would be the number one winner for the time being!”
“Number one winner? Isn’t that a bit premature?”
A voice came from midair all of a sudden and startled everyone present.
Quickly, a silhouette appeared out of the blue from afar.
Who was this? And why was he showing up right now?
Appearing alongside the person was a giant black goose. And everybody noticed the person riding on the giant black goose at the same time.
And who might this be?
The two in the dimension noticed this individual as well. Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and asked, “He must be part of the Top 4 Powers, right? How else would he have a mystical beast for a aride?”
“Indeed. He is probably a disciple of the Clan of Magical Swords; otherwise, he wouldn’t have a mystical beast himself!” replied Mo Xuanzun in a low voice.
