Chapter 448: Chapter 396: Consecutive Battles with the Demon King, an Unstoppable Momentum!
Translator: 549690339
“Mr. Lei, you mustn’t!” Blue King quickly interjected.
He wanted to immediately dissuade Pei Xuanjing from the idea.
In a great contest between two races, victory or defeat matters not, only life or death. This rule is unalterable.
Even though Pei Xuanjing’s continuous attempts to fight were extremely rare, they weren’t against any rules.
However, the risks associated were too high. Both the human race and the Demon Race found it difficult after one brutal fight, let alone having to muster the energy to fight again.
Moreover, even if the victor had strength to continue fighting, they would not choose to do so.
After all, remaining on the arena would undoubtedly be seen as a huge provocation to the other side, leading to stronger opponents being sent out.
Pei Xuanjing having killed the Grey Bear King with the power of thunder was already fulfilling the human race’s expectation of him. With his youthfulness and the strength he exhibited now, there’s no doubt he would become a top-tier champion of the human race in the future.
Had it not been for the pressing demands from the Wolf King on the day, Blue King didn’t even want Pei Xuanjing to participate in the contest. Taking into account that Pei Xuanjing had consumed the Jiaolong Blood Pill to set his foundation, a potential powerhouse like him should not be squandered.
Now, he wanted to stop Pei Xuanjing, not wanting him to harm himself in his impulsiveness.
“No worries, Blue King, don’t fret. I will only act when I am sure!” Pei Xuanjing shook his head.
Originally, he was only planning to have one match, but the abundant rewards tempted him.
The rich essence of energy he absorbed solely from killing the Grey Bear King could fuel him to condense numerous apertures. If he could kill more Demon Kings in the following matches and absorb their essence energy, then undoubtedly, his strength would increase by a notch.
Ordinary kings and lords would worry that consecutive grand battles might drain their strength, but this was not a concern for Pei Xuanjing.
Despite his Path of Qi Refinement being greatly suppressed in this world, the speed at which he absorbed the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi remained unaffected. Coupled with his accumulation of primordial Qi, he had no worry for consumption.
With respect to the Demon Race possibly sending stronger opponents after him, Pei Xuanjing was not worried either.
Without a doubt, his individual strength has already reached the peak of this world. Along with his Yin Spirit power as his trump card, he feared no Demon King, at least not losing to them.
“Mr. Lei, you…” Blue King was caught between emotions, yet helpless.
Currently, Pei Xuanjing was in the arena. Unless he willingly stepped down, there was no way Blue King could prevent him from continuing.
“Could it be that one of our human race’s rising powerhouses is destined to fall here?” Blue King lamented inwardly.
In his opinion, given the talent Pei Xuanjing displayed, together with the foundation built from consuming the Jiaolong Blood Pill, it was likely that he could reach the legendary Imperial Realm in his future.
If that day were to come, the human race would break their current stalemate, surpass the Demon Race, and become the rulers of this world.
However, now, this possibility seemed to be slipping away from them.
“Human, since you’re seeking death, we’ll help you attain it!” The Wolf King did not conceal the murderous intent in his eyes, he spoke ominously.
Originally, he thought that after the Grey Bear King’s failure this time, if the opponent kept hiding in the Human Domain, it would be difficult to have another chance to kill him.
Now that the latter was seeking death, he definitely could not miss this chance.
He coldly commanded, “Leopard King, you act personally. Kill him!”
“Yes!” Leopard King nodded.
Changing his form, the Leopard King landed on the arena. Despite the fact that Pei Xuanjing had killed the Grey Bear King, he felt that Pei Xuanjing had only relied on some underhanded tactic.
Now, he did not bother to engage Pei Xuanjing in conversation. The moment he landed on the arena, he immediately launched his attack, with his power surging fiercely.
Upon seeing this, Pei Xuanjing naturally did not hold back. His sword slashed forward, shining brilliantly and creating waves of sword Qi in all directions.
In an instant, the terrifying force both parties unleashed crashed against each other. It felt as if two mountains were clashing, creating a powerful boom and releasing dreadful shockwaves that viciously swept all directions.
If it weren’t for the arena being a treasure, it might not have been able to withstand the clash between the two powerhouses.
It’s important to note that the power Leopard King was now displaying far exceeded that of the Grey Bear King. Not only was his physical form more agile and robust, the energy he radiated was also no less formidable.
However, Pei Xuanjing’s demonstrated strength was even more terrifying. As he slashed his sword, the wind was howling and thunder roaring, a boundless gale sweeping the area, accompanied by persistent thundering sounds.
The power displayed by both parties shocked the numerous human and Demon tribal leaders. While the strength of Leopard King, a seasoned Demon King, was comprehensible, Pei Xuanjing’s power was surprising. Having just broken through to the rank of a lord, his extraordinary strength was leaving many in awe.
Could this be the effect of the Jiaolong Blood Pill?
For a moment, many regretted not being the ones who had swallowed the Jiaolong Blood Pill.
The path of cultivation is arduous. Most human lords have to devote a great deal of time and energy to improving their abilities even slightly after breaking through, and success is never guaranteed.
Any top-tier human powerhouse, like Blue King, took hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation to acquire their current strength.
Yet Pei Xuanjing, by simply relying on the Jiaolong Blood Pill, was able to rise abruptly in power. This glaring contrast evoked feelings of life’s unfairness and envy in others.
As they watched the two of them engage in battle, just as everyone was thinking that this would be a hard-fought battle, the course of events abruptly changed.
Pei Xuanjing’s sword trembled in his hand, and saw the Shenxiao Origin Qi in his body surge out uncontrollably. The fluctuating Qi was colored in blue, red, yellow, white, black, and purple, which enveloped his sword.
At this moment, the divine weapon sword in his hand emitted a humming sound. Under the erosion of this Qi, it gave off a terrifying aura, its blade keen enough to cut through space with just the emitting sword Qi.
Although the Path of Qi Refinement is suppressed in this world, releasing Qi in this manner was effortless for him.
He slowly raised his sword. His move was unhurried, and his technique simple, but his aura kept growing. The Shenxiao Origin Qi permeated the surroundings, the colors of blue, red, yellow, white, black, and purple permeated the arena, bathing it in their glow.
Impressions floated in their minds, as if they could see nine star patterns on the sword, flickering brightly.
The First Stroke: Nine Luminaries.
Although the Heaven and Earth of this world were different, they could not connect to the celestial bodies and summon their projections. But with Pei Xuanjing’s ability, he could fully display the star patterns and utilize the mysterious force from beyond.
