Chapter 931: Showdown of the Strong
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian and Qing`er soared into the air. One after another, Hua Taixu, Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen appeared, staring at the people flying towards them. Jun Mengchen then spoke, "What’s the problem? Those old members of the Xiao Branch are just too weak, and yet the Twin Stars Alliance is planning to move the strength of their entire sect against us five?
"Qin Wentian, you guys are too impudent." Xiao Lengyue’s face was filled with frost. Previously, she’d wanted to seize the God’s Hand from Qin Wentian, and hadn’t hesitated to use her beauty to achieve her aims. Now seeing Qing`er beside him, she immediately understood that her actions back then were nothing but a joke to this man. Qin Wentian had never once wanted her in ‘that’ way. He and the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had been lovers from the start.
"So you can harm my junior apprentice brother and sister, but I’m not allowed to do the same to those in the Xiao Branch?" Qin Wentian stared at Xiao Lengyue, his countenance as cold as hers. He then continued, "In addition, there were only five of us against the dozens of geniuses from your Xiao Branch. It was a fair fight in all respects, and since their skills couldn’t measure up to ours, what else is there to say? Actually, Xiao Lengyue, I’m the one who may have overestimated you. You actually sent people to hunt down my junior brother and sister. So the supreme beauty, ranked #6 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, amounts to nothing more than this."
"Shut your mouth." A terrifying cold intent gushed forth from Xiao Lengyue. "Back then you guys pitifully joined my Xiao Sect, and we protected you from danger. But who would have thought that you’d have such a small heart, instantly forsaking my sect after you obtained the God’s Hand. I, Xiao Lengyue, must have been blind."
"You truly have no shame." Zi Qingxuan couldn’t bear to listen any longer. This Xiao Lengyue wasn’t willing to accept the harsh lesson that Qing`er taught her back then, and even sought to console herself.
"There’s no need to argue over who’s right or wrong. There’s no meaning to it." Qin Wentian stepped out and continued, "Xiao Lengyue, the grudge between us hasn’t escalated to the point where only one of us can live. If you have the backbone to prove it, how about we fight one-on-one to settle this once and for all?"
"Do you think we even need to fight one-on-one against you?" Killing intent flooded the area, emanating from Xuan Yang. Because of Xuan Xing’s death, the hatred between him and Qin Wentian had already become a death grudge. He would never spare Qin Wentian, and at any given opportunity, he would kill Qin Wentian for sure.
"You want all the members of your Twin Stars Alliance to attack us?" Qin Wentian glanced at Xuan Yang as he laughed coldly, "How ridiculous. Do you think I will play with you under such terms? With Qing`er’s spatial treasure, who can possibly stop us if I choose to leave right now? We stayed here precisely because we were waiting for your arrival. Xuan Yang, you and Xiao Lengyue are both ranked at the top in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. If you are a man, fight two-on-two with Qing`er and me."
The hearts of the spectators all trembled when they heard Qin Wentian’s words. When they thought about Qing`er’s mastery over the power of space, they couldn’t help but nod in agreement. Qin Wentian and his companions hadn’t risked anything by waiting here.
If the entire Twin Stars Alliance, with its hundreds of geniuses and those powerfully ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, were to move against them together, how could Qin Wentian and his four other companions even hold their own?
It was pointless. Qin Wentian had waited here because he wanted to settle things with Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue. He wanted a fair battle with two against two.
The eyes of all the spectators turned to Xuan Yang. If he refused and continued to use his overwhelming numbers, Qin Wentian would leave immediately, and this would all be meaningless. And afterward, Xuan Yang would be labeled a coward. After all, he was ranked #4, and Xiao Lengyue was ranked #6. Qing`er was only ranked #5, lower than him. And as for Qin Wentian, he was only ranked #100.
And even if it was two against two, he and Xiao Lengyue should have the absolute advantage. There was no reason for him to dodge this battle.
Qin Wentian had proposed a fight which Xuan Yang had no grounds to reject. Since Xuan Yang wanted to avenge Xuan Xing, he should do it with his own strength. It would be a fair match for them both if they didn’t use immortal-ranked weapons. If they were to use their immortal weapons, then it would end just like it did before; Qin Wentian would risk his life with that technique and both would end up grievously injured. And again, Qing`er would bring Qin Wentian to safety again.
Xuan Yang considered this and turned to Xiao Lengyue. Previously, Xiao Lengyue had fought against Qing`er, and in the end, she’d been defeated. This time around, if they had to fight, he had to be the one fighting against Qing`er. And despite Qin Wentian’s cultivation base advancing up to the eighth-level, it was obvious that both Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue’s probability of winning was still higher. Qin Wentian’s only advantage was that he had comprehended the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi, the God’s Hand.
Xiao Lengyue nodded reassuringly to Xuan Yang. After that, both turned to look at Qin Wentian and Qing`er, as they stepped out together, walking towards their opponents.
When Qin Wentian saw that, he and Qing`er also moved forward.
Four heaven’s chosen fighting against each other. They all soared into the air, emanating an aura unexcelled in this world. All four were supreme geniuses at the peak.
"I will deal with Qing`er. Kill Qin Wentian for me, and show no mercy," Xuan Yang transmitted his voice to Xiao Lengyue. He was ranked #4, a rank higher than Qing`er, while Xiao Lengyue had lost to Qing`er before. He decided to go with his initial plan—to fight Qing`er while Xiao Lengyue dealt with Qin Wentian.
"Understood," Xiao Lengyue replied. From the position the four were standing in, all the spectators soon understood Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue’s intentions.
Using someone stronger against the weak. The higher-ranked Xuan Yang against Qing`er, and Xiao Lengyue should be able to win against Qin Wentian. In that case, they held a marked advantage in this battle, and the ending was clear for all to see.
The four of them released their respective constellations and aura. All the spectators could feel a sense of invincibility as they looked at Xuan Yang; his constellation was a gigantic ancient mirror that hung suspended in the air. His Heavenly Mystic Mirror Art could reflect all attacks, it was practically impossible to defeat him.
The spectators all focused on this battle, including Nanfeng Yunxi. The three top rankers below her were now battling each other. It was rare to see a battle with this many top-tier experts taking place in the City of Ancient Emperors.
"Princess Qing`er’s constellation is extremely powerful as well. It’s a space diagram that contains a vast amount of spatial energy. She can use the powerful spatial energy to cloak herself within, shielded and invincible."
"It’s the God’s Hand!" The spectators once again saw Qin Wentian activating the God’s Hand. His palm shimmered with resplendent runic light, transforming it into an incomparably imposing hand of a god.
The wings of a wind roc appeared behind him and his gigantic frame circulated with layers of fiendgod light. His terrifying bloodline power seethed and surged through his veins.
-BOOM!- Xiao Lengyue acted. She blasted out with a palm, instantly manifesting a surge of absolute freeze energy. Instantly, a large portion of space was frozen solid, and the cold also threatened to freeze Qin Wentian and Qing`er.
Qing`er threw out a golden void fist that tore everything apart, shredding through the surge of absolute freeze energy. Qin Wentian materialized a fearsome long spear within his hand, using the runic components of the God’s Hand. And when Qin Wentian stabbed out with it, a formless, fearsome energy—akin to a tempest—began to ravage everything.
Xuan Yang also acted. He took out a long spear and lunged towards Qing`er with lightning-speed. The astral light from his constellation cascaded onto him, its ever-increasing pressure boring down on Qing`er.
Xiao Lengyue stepped out the instant Qin Wentian attacked. Her Frozen Extermination Finger Technique stabbed out towards Qin Wentian. And instantly, Qin Wentian felt a chilling freeze gushing towards him, capable of freezing him from the inside out.
Qing`er unleashed her own finger attacks at Xuan Yang’s spear, as beams of golden swords materialized, shooting at Xuan Yang. Qin Wentian’s long spear continued its path—this spear had been created using the God’s Hand, containing such incredible power that it managed to extinguish the freezing energy. Xiao Lengyue could sense an unparalleled supreme force surging towards her.
"God’s Hand." Nanfeng Yunxi’s beautiful eyes were fully focused on Qin Wentian’s attack. The eruption of power was simply shocking, and in addition to Qin Wentian’s proficiency in spear arts, the power of his attacks had already reached the same level as someone at the peak of the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon. Should his cultivation base truly break through to the ninth level, he would be even more tyrannical than he was at present in activating the God’s Hand.
Tendrils of frost shot out, and the coldness around Xiao Lengyue further intensified, directly encasing the spear in ice. In fact, she even intended to freeze the runic components which made up the God’s Hand. A terrifying coldness beyond compare gushed into Qin Wentian’s body, and in just an instant, half his body was frozen solid.
"Xiao Lengyue has comprehended the law energy of freezing. This law of immortality is still in its embryonic form, and she’s only comprehended traces of it, but it’s sufficient enough for her to easily slaughter people at the Celestial Phenomenon level who have not yet comprehended any types of law energy," Nanfeng Yunxi quietly mused when she saw this scene. Even though Qin Wentian’s normal attacks had grown so strong to the point where he could fight equally against Xiao Lengyue’s normal attacks, there was still no way for him to resist the corrosion effect of Xiao Lengyue’s freezing power of law energy.
Xiao Lengyue’s eyes flashed with coldness, her gaze was so sharp it seemed she could pierce through Qin Wentian. But in that moment, the spectators saw Qin Wentian’s entire body begin to resonate, and suddenly a supreme unparalleled energy gushed forth from him. The ice which had encased half his body, instantly shattered apart. His God’s Hand continued to blast forth, containing boundless killing might, capable of destroying Xiao Lengyue with a single strike.
"How can this be? He comprehended it??"
The beautiful eyes of Xiao Lengyue flashed with bewilderment. She was completely shocked; she understood how difficult it was to comprehend this type of energy.
However, it was evident that a powerful force was radiating from Qin Wentian. If it was not that type of energy, what could it be?
Qin Wentian’s cultivation was only at the eighth level of Celestial Phenomenon. He shouldn’t have come into contact with this kind of energy before. It shouldn’t belong to Qin Wentian.
"Let’s try this one more time." Coldness flickered in Xiao Lengyue’s eyes. And when she saw Qin Wentian’s long spear stabbing out again, she immediately created a statue of ice, a striking trace of law energy circulating around it.
"Chi!" The resplendent spear lunged forward and directly penetrated the ice statue, causing cracks to appear. Xiao Lengyue’s expression drastically changed. She had confirmed her earlier suspicions, Qin Wentian had also comprehended a trace of immortal law energy!
