Chapter 222: Red Conference (5)

There was a brief moment, perhaps, when the spectators and some disciples felt Xin Muchen was an upright individual, defending the honor of the Frozen Peak Palace disciple, and also defeating Xu Tian, who wielded the imperious [Thunder Dragon Spear Method].

Even the resolution of that clash, against a tired Xu Tian, did not leave things uncertain as to Xin Muchens strength. One strike, one victory. Though this is the strength of the [Life-Severing Sword], it is no less because Xin Muchens strength is that of a third-ranker and not a sixth-ranker. In rankings such as these, there is usually a great gap between those ranked seventh and sixth, and fourth and third. In other words, Xin Muchen was an entire class ahead of Xu Tian.

The enraged disciple of the Galaxy Sword sect, the moment he lands on the platform, charges at Xin Muchen, freeing his sword from his sheath and raising it high.

Once more, Xin Muchen, as if toying with his opponent, lazily lifts the large, heavy saber over his head and holds it steady for a brief moment, as the dark metal pulses with energy, charging with light and imminent power release.

When the two meet, fifth-rank versus sixth-rank, another cloud of dust and debris kicks up, but much less than before, though the sound and light are no less spectacular than earlier.

Even through the haze of dust, one could see the Galaxy Sword disciples sword locked to Xin Muchens saber, neither giving nor gaining ground as sparks flew off the two weapons.

Didnt you say you were going to kill me? Is this all? Xin Muchen asks.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Every moment that Xin Muchen remains standing is like another needle that pierces the eyeballs of every elder in the Galaxy Sword section, whose expressions are worn weary by the barely contained frustration and anger and humiliation that they are subjected to.

It is obvious that they want to protest, and possibly even intervene, but the glares of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion and Seven Killing Swords elders suggest that they are anticipating this and more than ready to make sure that their interference remains non-existent.

Ha, ha, rivalries are not such a bad thing, one of the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion elders says casually, but loud enough for all the other elders to hear.

Perhaps the Broken Sword Manor should be here instead of the Galaxy Sword? a disciple from the Seven Killing Swords sect loudly announces, to the chagrin of the disciples he refers to.

The armrest on Elder Huangs chair detaches from the rest of the body and turns to sawdust in his fist.

Meanwhile, Xin Muchen shows more of his strength, by easily breaking the deadlock and throwing the Galaxy Sword disciple off-balance, and then, without mercy, swings the flat of his saber into the body of the disciple, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut.

The manner in which the disciple tumbles half a dozen times across the podium puts into question whether he is still dead or alive, but most certainly not uninjured.

You did that on purpose! the fourth-ranked disciple roars and jumps onto the podium before the fight is even called over, and without hesitation charges at Xin Muchen.

They are clearly trying to eliminate us from the Conference, Lan Xiaohui says. If you go out, even if you can beat Xin Muchen, you will only earn five points. Do you want to spend all your strength on fighting him?

Tian Li blinks, furious at first, but then slowly coming to the realization that my owner is not wrong.

The provocation and the bending of rules it is most certainly an attempt to humiliate and eliminate the sect from the Conference.

On the other hand, what will we do about this breaking of the rules? Surely, it cannot go unpunished, Elder Mo, one of the elders of the Seven Killing Swords remarks, smiling darkly.

This Elder Mo stumbles over his words, clearly having hoped that it wouldnt come to this.

The one who is ranked second should come out, and challenge me, and then forfeit immediately, Xin Muchen announces.

I think this is reasonable, the Seven Killing Swords elder nods in agreement.

Reasonable?! Tian Li is ranked second! Xin Muchen is no match for him! Elder Huang exclaims.

Elder Qin, and the other elders who remain behind likely for the protection of Lan Xiaohui wear dark, frustrated expressions, but make no move to interfere.

Just when it seems like the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion elders might agree to this, a disciple of the Frozen Peak Palace steps onto the podium and quietly announces. Arent you forgetting something? The Frozen Peak Palace wishes to challenge Xin Muchen, she says, and then adds confidently as if the matter is already decided. Please go easy on me.

Lan Xiaohui, at this point, looks toward the sword maiden in the Frozen Peak Palace section and finds the girl staring back at her and smiling. Then she nods to my owner and looks back to the stage.

Then it is decided! Elder Mo announces swiftly, to not let this opportunity slip away. The Frozen Peak Palace fifth-ranked disciple will challenge Xin Muchen.

This disciple of the Frozen Peak Palace even helps Ren Weisheng to his feet and escorts him back toward the Galaxy Sword section.

Thank you, Yuan Qiuyue, Ren Weisheng whispers to the female disciple.

Dont think too much of it, the disciple replies. We also have our own debts to settle, and cannot wait all day.
