C108

Yi Zhou shook his head. This was the first time he had seen someone trying to take his life, and there were no interactions between them before.

But Life seemed to be helping him.

After these few rounds of battle, the people that had lost their lives were all members of the Duan Clan.

Then, as Yi Zhou and Yi Yi were speaking, the figure that was reborn appeared not far away from Duan Yan and Duan Qing.

At this moment, his sword also pierced through space as the tip of the sword was pointed at Duan Yan's throat.

In that instant, everyone held their breaths as they focused their attention.

"Chi, chi …"

Instead of piercing into Duan Yan's throat, it stabbed onto his chest. As he spun around, a silver light flashed, and a dazzling bloody scar appeared on Duan Qing's chest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, it was clear that Duel Life had no intention of stopping. With Spiritual Energy flowing on his palms, he fiercely slapped the chests of the two of them. Accompanied by two mournful wails, Duan Qing and Duan Yan were blasted off the battle stage.

As of this moment, no one knew what to say.

Space seemed to freeze for an instant.

Duan Qing and Duan Yan both fell on the ground in a sorry state, the blood in their chests flowing out uncontrollably. Their eyes were dull and they were obviously dazed. It was a long time before they recovered.

The Martial Competition had rules that forbade killing. However, the two of them both knew in their hearts that if it wasn't for this rule, they would already be dead.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the life reaping sword sink into their throats?

Lifestyle, passed. At this moment, a voice drifted out from the grandstand.

On the platform, Duel stood tall and upright. After hearing the voice, he stepped out and slowly walked towards the bottom of the platform.

At this time, Duan Tianyu, who was in the crowd, slowly stood up.

His expression was cold and his entire body was bathed in a sharp cold aura. Just by standing there, he gave off an indescribable might.

Duan Tianyu looked at Yi Zhou, then turned and said indifferently.

Are you related to him?

The moment the words left his mouth, he stopped in his tracks.

In his heart, he naturally knew who Duan Tianyu was referring to.

Yi Zhou.

Duan Tianyu squinted to see if he could survive. If there was no relation, would he help Yi Zhou to target the Duan Clan?

Duan Tianyu was a little suspicious.

At this time, Duel suddenly took a step forward, and the battle intent around him suddenly expanded to the limit. His cold black eyes flashed with a surging coldness that seeped into his bones.

He stared at Duan Tianyu and said unhurriedly. Besides, even if it's related, what can you do?

When the Spiritual Energy bloomed, it gave off an imposing aura that was not the least bit inferior to Duan Tianyu's. Everyone's eyes focused and blazed, unable to believe their eyes, even Qin Xin, who was ranked third on the Heavenly Fate Rankings, was stunned.

The might of the Spiritual Energy that was fighting for its life was actually on par with theirs? In addition, they even showed signs of surpassing them.

This Duel was also a nameless genius who was not weaker than Duan Tianyu.

Looking at this scene, Profound King at the spectator stand laughed slightly. This little guy was truly unexpected.

The top five rankers of the Heavenly Fate Rankings would surely be contenders for life.

As he stared at Duel, Duan Tianyu's expression remained calm, without much of a ripple. Even he was somewhat shocked by the amount of spirit energy contained within Duel.

But it was still not enough to convince him, Duan Tianyu.

Looking at Duel, Duan Tianyu suddenly laughed coldly. In the following Martial Meeting, I wish you good luck.

The voice seemed gentle, but it was sharp.

Yi Zhou's eyes flashed, and his sharp black pupils swept across Duan Tianyu. How could he not have noticed that a faintly discernible cold arc had flashed across the corner of Duan Tianyu's lips?

He was about to be targeted.

At that moment, Duanzhen lazily glanced at Duan Tianyu. He was too lazy to bother with him, as he left with his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

As the elder's voice rang out, another ten silhouettes appeared on the golden platform. This round, Yi Yi was one of them.

However, there was no name of Yi Zhou.

In this round of battles, there were also many demon-level characters that were radiating light. However, the most dazzling person amongst them was only two people.

The Zither Heart of the Zither Sect and Yi Yi.

At this stage of the duel, the two of them could already be considered as having advanced. However, the elder from the royal family clearly didn't have any intention of stopping.

What kind of sparks would be created from the collision between the two of them?

On the battle stage, the two peerless beauties stood facing each other. Their beautiful faces were covered with a layer of pure white colour and although one could not see their childish looks clearly, their temperament was extremely otherworldly, giving off a cold feeling, akin to a frosty beauty.

Who was this woman with the white veil? With such outstanding talent, why had he never heard of it before? Someone in the crowd said.

He also came from the outer city right? Wasn't it the same if he were to be reborn? His talent was outstanding, but who knew?

This woman looked extremely haughty. With a thin veil covering her face, it was likely that she would also be very beautiful. Someone said. It was a pity that the Eastern Kingdom already had a princess, and no one could steal her radiance away from them.

Naturally, they were referring to Yan Qingqing.

The Zither Faction's Zither Heart was also extremely outstanding and their looks were also extremely beautiful, but no one mentioned anything about it.

This was because even Zither Heart wasn't comparable to Yan Qingqing. Although Yan Qingqing wasn't ranked on the Heavenly Fate Ranking, if she wanted to, she would definitely be ranked in the top three. This point was undeniable.

I know you're strong, and I know I'm no match for you. Qin Xin smiled as she looked at Yi Yi. However, I still want to give it a try.

Yiyi's beautiful eyes stared at Qin Xin, her impeccable appearance was as calm as ever. After that, she sat down in the middle of the air, cross-legged, as a zither appeared.

She was also a zither elementalist? Someone from the crowd exclaimed.

Qin Xin smiled faintly. I didn't expect you to be a Zither Cultivator.

After she finished speaking, Qin Xin similarly sat down on her knees. The zither appeared, and her delicate hands began to stroke the zither strings.

For a time, the zither music filled the air, and an invisible sense of oppression filled the air. Everyone present widened their eyes, watching this scene with great interest. Who would be better than these two unrivalled beauties in their battle in the zither dao?

In the audience, Profound King's eyes focused slightly, looking forward to the battle between the zither elementalists.

On the other hand, Yi Zhou was calm, he looked at the stage and smiled faintly, he had made his move, it was never unexpected for him.

There were no ripples in Yi Yi's clear eyes. Her delicate hand fiddled with the zither string, and a sonorous sound immediately resounded through the air.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed. A terrifying Spiritual Energy storm surrounded Yi Yi's body, and then, the cry of a phoenix resounded.

In the blink of an eye, the gazes of the crowd froze.

Was this her zither will? After a long while, someone exclaimed in shock with a look of disbelief on his face.

Qin Xin's heart trembled slightly. This will of the zither had at least the power comparable to those in the Inscription Realm.

Yi Yi's exquisite face was so calm. She slowly closed her beautiful eyes. Her entire body was bathed in the divine light. When she played with the zither, she was incomparably divine and emitted a unique charm.

She was immersed in her own concept as she quietly stroked her zither, not being bound by anything. The chaos of the mortal world had been completely forgotten as she could only hear the two words "zither" in her clear and pure heart.

As the clanging sound of the zither spread out, Qin Xin's jade-like hands slowly stopped. She secretly shook her head, no longer playing the zither, and instead was immersed in the zither music that Yi Yi played.

Zither Heart had given up.

Everyone's eyes froze as they glanced at Qin Xin. Although they were a bit stunned, they didn't say anything. With Yi Yi's zither strength, there was indeed no comparison.

Everyone was very quiet as they attentively listened to the zither music, as if they were going to sink into it. Even though Yi Yi's zither music was very gentle, the power contained within it was not to be underestimated.

Even the Profound King s had all quietened down and closed their eyes to carefully feel the changes.

Not long after, the song ended and the zither music gradually stopped playing.

Yi Yi didn't hesitate at all. She put away the zither, turned around, and left the dueling platform.

She did not want to hurt her zither heart. All she wanted to do was play a tune. She did not want to compete with anyone, and she was not interested.

The crowd was silent for a long time as they stared at the back of the figure in a dull manner.

Just one song, and he was famous.

Although Zither Heart had been thoroughly defeated, it was undeniable that her talent was similarly high. Thus, the Imperial Family naturally gave her a chance to continue on.

There was another round of group battles, and Yi Zhou's name still did not appear.

Was it because of the welfare of those with a weaker realm?

That's a bit ironic.

Before long, the third round of the free-for-all came to an end. After many selections, there were only 24 people who had advanced, followed by a one-on-one battle.

The 24 of you have a preliminary ranking. Starting from the bottom, you will advance to the next rank, and if you lose, you will have no chance at all.

Then the old man shouted with a stick in his hand. Yi Zhou.

This...

It was very awkward.

Yi Zhou's face darkened, following that, his figure flashed, and he leapt onto the stage.

Amongst the twenty-four of them, the weakest was at the eighth level of the Spirit Heart Realm, and Yi Zhou's fifth level of the Spirit Heart Realm was really rather eye-catching.

Select the person you want to challenge. The old man looked at Yi Zhou and said, he had over twenty wooden sticks in his hands.

Yi Zhou gently shook his head, following that, he looked into the distance with his sharp eyes, and his gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing right into Hua Qing's body, as he shouted coldly.

Get down.

The gazes of the crowd flickered. Wasn't this fellow a little too arrogant?

He was only at the fifth level of the Heart of Tranquil Water, while Hua Qing was at the peak of the eighth level of the Heart of Tranquil Water.

No matter how you looked at it, they were not on the same level.

However, what the crowd did not know was that, since yesterday's banquet, Yi Zhou had already wanted to fight with Hua Qing, but he did not have the chance to do so.

Otherwise, would Hua Qing be able to stand here today?

Hua Qing frowned, a cold glint flashed past his eyes, and his lips curled up into a mocking smile. But Yi Zhou, was he worthy?

Accept the challenge.

After replying indifferently, Hua Qing's body moved forward. Just as he was about to leap onto the arena, he saw a figure standing in front of him. It was the young master of the Duan Clan, Duan Tianyu.

It seems like the accounts between us have yet to be settled, right? Duan Tianyu sneered, his tone cold. I'm afraid that you won't have the chance to appear on the arena after your battle with him. Then wouldn't that mean that my Duan Clan will have no way to take revenge?

Yi Zhou looked at Duan Tianyu, and his eyes flashed, what was this man thinking? What an idiot.

With regards to Huangfu Yanran's matter, the Duan Clan still hadn't given his an explanation. Regarding this, he, Yi Zhou, was sure to personally seek revenge, so how could he not give Duan Tianyu a chance?

As for this Hua Qing, had he ever placed him in his eyes before?

Then, Yi Zhou said indifferently. Since that was the case, then he would do it one by one.

If you lose to Hua Qing, so what? Duan Tianyu stared at Yi Zhou.

Yi Zhou's eyes flashed. He sure has a lot of nonsense to say.

You should worry about yourself first. At this moment, an ice-cold, yet slightly lazy voice came out. The person who spoke was surprisingly reaping life.

Duan Tianyu's expression turned cold as his indifferent black eyes stared at Duel.
