“It seems like both of you don’t have any regards for the Three Clans and Two Sects!” A frosty voice rang in the air, causing the people in the surroundings to feel as though they had been dropped into an ice cave.
Swoosh!
A gust of wind stirred in the air before a figure seemingly appeared out of thin air before Sima Ping Dong, the Grand Elder of the Sima Clan.
“Bihai Ming Feng!” Before Sima Ping Dong had time to react and mobilize his Celestial Origin Energy, Bihai Ming Feng raised a brush in his hand and attacked at lightning speed.
The brush spun before it transformed into a dragon-like energy and shot toward Sima Ping Dong.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The void rippled in its wake. It easily breached Sima Ping Dong’s Celestial Origin that shrouded him protectively. Then, the dragon-like energy whipped its tail at him before he exploded into a mist of blood, leaving only a Spatial Ring and armor behind.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The remaining force from the attack dissipated into a gust of wind, causing the robes of the onlookers, including Duan Ling Tian, to flutter in the air.
Those who were standing near Sima Ping Dong earlier widened their eyes in horror and instinctively retreated.
‘He’s dead?’ Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes. He did not expect Sima Ping Dong would die just like that.
The crowd inhaled sharply when they saw how swift Bihai Ming Feng’s attack was.
“The Grand Elder of the Sima Clan is dead?”
“The Grand Elder of the Sima Clan is one of the clan’s strongest powerhouses. And yet, the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Sect killed him with just a strike. Although Sima Ping Dong was caught off guard, he should still be able to retaliate, right?”
“I’m not surprised. It’s known that the Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect is even stronger than the First Sect Leader of the Coupling Sect. Moreover, he’s also one of the ten Inspectors of the Profound Nether Mansion!”
“How unfortunate for the Grand Elder of the Sima Clan. If the Coupling Celestial Sect had sent another person as a representative, he would probably only be rebuked for his actions. However, since the Third Sect Leader represents the Profound Nether Mansion as an inspector as well, he, naturally, has to be stricter since Sima Ping Dong blatantly disregarded the rules of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm.”
While most people were in shock over Sima Ping Dong’s death at Bihai Ming Feng’s hand, the people from the grade-eight forces that Li Yuan and Yun Zhan were from gulped. They felt incredibly lucky they did not recklessly speak up earlier. Otherwise, they would definitely be killed by Bihai Ming Feng as well. Even Sima Ping Dong who was much stronger than them had died, how could they hope to survive?
“Grand elder…” The other elder from the Sima Clan could only smile bitterly after he witnessed Sima Ping Dong’s death.
After the commotion from Bihai Ming Feng killing Sima Ping Dong died down, the onlookers quickly shifted their eyes to the person from the Dongfang Clan who had made a declaration earlier about looking for Dongfang Jin Lun’s murderer earlier. After all, similar to Sima Ping Dong, he had also blatantly disregarded one of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm’s rules.
As expected, Bihai Ming Feng’s body flickered out of sight and appeared in front of the elder from the Dongfang Clan.
The elder from the Dongfang Clan who had witnessed Sima Ping Dong’s death paled immediately when he saw Bihai Ming Feng in front of him. For someone who had easily killed Sima Ping Dong, it would be like killing an ant if Bihai Ming Fei wanted to kill him. He quickly fell to his knees and kowtowed as he said, “Third sect leader, please have mercy. Please forgive me!”
Bihai Ming Feng was indifferent to the pleading of the elder from the Dongfang Clan. He raised the brush in his hand again.
Whoosh!
This time, a sword cry rang in the air as a bright light shot out of the tip of the brush like a shooting star.
In the next moment, a bloody hole could be seen on the glabella of the elder from the Dongfang Clan. His hand was still raised in a defensive posture as he fell to the ground.
Earlier, Bihai Ming Feng had collected Sima Ping Dong’s Spatial Ring and armor, but he did not collect the possessions of the elder from the Dongfang Clan as though he did not find them worthy of him. After all, with Bihai Ming Feng’s status, even Sima Ping Dong could not match his wealth and resources, let alone an ordinary elder from the Dongfang Clan.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Bihai Mingfeng calmly returned to his original position after killing the elder from the Dongfan Clan.
Zhang Guang Zheng, the Vice Sect Leader of the Simplicity Celestial Sect, smiled wryly as he said, “Sect Leader Bihai, I’m afraid the majority of the participants who survive the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm will flock to the Coupling Celestial Sect now after witnessing your strength…”
Heng Chan, the Hall Master of the Arhat Hall in the Cloud Platform Celestial Sect, said with a hint of displeasure, “That’s right. Sect Leader Bihai, that’s unfair.”
Zhangsun Xiong Qi and Gongyang Yu, the representative leaders from the Zhangsun Clan and the Gongyang Clan, only smiled wryly. What could they do? The Third Sect Leader of the Coupling Celestial Sect was undoubtedly powerful. It was only natural if the participants wanted to join the Coupling Celestial Sect.
“All of you were clearly displeased when Sima Ping Dong made his declaration earlier, but none of you dared to take action,” Bihai Ming Feng looked at Zhang Guang Zheng and Heng Chan from the corners of his eyes as he said nonchalantly, “Since it was clear none of you would do anything about it, I, naturally, had to take action.”
Zhang Guang Zheng and Heng Chan could not refute Bihai Ming Feng’s words. They were, indeed, displeased, but they did not dare to act in fear of embarrassing themselves. After all, their strength was only on par with Sima Ping Dong’s strength. If Sima Ping Dong decided to flee, it was unlikely that they would be able to stop him. To avoid embarrassment, they thought it was best not to interfere.
After Bihai Ming Feng had taken matters into his hands, those who wanted to seek revenge no longer dared to misbehave.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, “There are more people coming out!”
At this moment, a figure had appeared at the gateway. Soon enough, more and more figures began to appear.
“Jia Long.” It did not take long before Duan Ling Tian found Huang Jia Long among the sea of people. He knew Huang Jia Long was alive since Huang Jia Long’s name was still on the scoreboard. Although Huang Jia Long’s points were only a few points ahead of Huang Jia Chao, Huang Jia Long had accumulated those points without any help.
‘Out of the nine participants from the Supporting Fall Nation, only four survived. Apart from me, Jia Long, and Jia Chao, Meng Qiu Yu is the only one who survived,’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself after he scanned the names on the scoreboard.
Meng Qiu Yu was one of the two women among the participants from the Supporting Fall Nation. An old lady who was a Celestial King had accompanied her here.
“Brother Duan!” Huang Jia Long called out as he made a beeline toward Duan Ling Tian and the people from the Supporting Fall Nation.
After Huang Jia Long greeted Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, he turned to Duan Ling Tian and curiously asked, “Brother Duan, how many points did you accumulate?” He waved his Accumulative Points Jade as he continued to say, “I accumulated 22 points!”
Duan Ling Tian glanced at the scoreboard and said with a faint smile on his face, “Why don’t you have a look at the scoreboard…”
Huang Jia Chao kindly reminded his brother and said meaningfully, “You should start at the top of the scoreboard.”
Huang Jia Long immediately shifted his gaze to the top of the scoreboard. He exclaimed, “First place, Ling Jue Yun with 298 points?! Sh*t! That genius sectless cultivator from the East Ming Nation is insane! How did he make it to the top?”
“Forget about him. Why don’t you look at the next name?” Huang Jia Chao prompted.
Huang Jia Long was shocked speechless when he saw the second name on the scoreboard.
Duan Ling Tian, 286 points.
These words’ impact was like a bomb to Huang Jia Long.
“B-brother Duan… Y-you’re ranked second?” Huang Jia Long looked at Duan Ling Tian incredulously. “H-how on earth did you do it?”
“It just happened…” Duan Ling Tian said with a shrug.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Meng Qiu Yu brought with her a gust of wind that carried her fragrance as she moved toward her grandmother.
Finally, the four surviving participants from the Supporting Fall Nation had gathered.
