Chapter 358: First Kill
"Wait a minute, City Lord, it doesn"t seem right to continue like this. Every time we do this, there will be one contestant who will be spared from battle. Doing this seems to be unfair to the other contestants." After Wu Xiu announced Ye Xiao"s victory, Bai Ming stood up and said.
"Oh, then what do you think we should do, Second Elder Bai?" Feng Wuji raised his eyes and asked. However, he secretly sneered in his heart. He was naturally aware of Bai Ming"s thoughts.
"How about this? Since eight people are eliminated and nine people have advanced to the second round, let two more people fight out of the remaining nine. This way, eight will remain and the rest of the compet.i.tion can continue normally without needing to let one advance to the next round without fighting. What do you think, City Lord?" Bai Ming said.
"Of course we can, this way we can save a lot of trouble." Feng Wuji nodded.
"Since my Bai Family"s people have not fought with Ye Xiao even for one time, why don"t we just let him and Bai Tian fight?" Bai Ming continued.
Bai Tian was the one who chose the no-fighting lot and advanced to the second round without any fight.
Feng Wuji didn"t immediately agree. Instead, he looked at Ye Xiao and asked, "Ye Xiao, what do you think?"
"No problem." Ye Xiao nodded indifferently. From the moment Bai Ming stood up, he knew that this old man definitely did not have any good intentions and would definitely target him.
"Bai Tian, don"t waste any more time." Bai Ming said indifferently in an arrogant tone.
Bai Tian was a martial artist at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm and his strength was extremely high among the Bai Family"s younger generation. Amongst all the younger generation of the Bai Family, only Hong Yu, an inner disciple of the Snow Cold Palace, could defeat him.
"Okay!" Bai Tian responded and then looked at Ye Xiao as he said indifferently, "Get off yourself. I"m too lazy to do anything."
Ye Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and did not say anything. At the same time, he did not put Bai Tian in his eyes at all. Ye Xiao had long since gotten used to the arrogance of the people of the Bai Family.
"Didn"t you hear what I said? I told you to scram. If I attacked you, perhaps you would not even have the qualifications to scram. I"ll directly take your life."
Bai Tian frowned and said when he saw no reaction from Ye Xiao.
"People of the Bai Family are truly as annoying as ever. With that tiny bit of strength, Do you really think you are invincible? Before I change my mind about killing you, why not admit defeat?" Ye Xiao shook his head which made everyone"s eyes freeze. Then he said something that really made people freeze.
Immediately, someone sneered and wondered if this person was crazy.
It has to know that the people with the strongest cultivation that Ye Xiao killed were all at the Early Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm while Bai Tian was at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm. The difference between the two is very huge.
"This little fellow is really arrogant." Su Xuan"s beautiful eyes froze as she gently wrinkled her eyebrows and said. She knew that Ye Xiao"s strength was extraordinary but it was still extremely difficult for him to defeat Bai Tian.
"Madness is because he has the capital to be mad." Feng Wuji smiled faintly. He had a lot of trust in Ye Xiao.
Su Xuan"s face carried a hint of astonishment. She understood the man in front of her very well. He had never given such a high evaluation to anyone before.
At this moment, Bai Tian"s face was extremely unsightly. He did not expect that an unknown person would actually dare to talk to him in such a manner. He was the second strongest person in Bai Family"s younger generation, someone who was highly regarded by the family.
"Kill him." Bai Ming roared. His voice was cold and indifferent, causing everyone"s expression to freeze. Of course, there were a few among them who knew of the grudge between Ye Xiao and the Bai Family, and all of them revealed excited expressions.
It was clear that this would definitely be an intense battle and the Bai Family would not let Ye Xiao off. Even the City Lord could not blame them for killing him in the arena.
"Alright." When Bai Tian heard the anger in the Bai Family"s patriarch"s voice, his figure flashed at an incredible speed. He didn"t even plan to give Ye Xiao the chance to admit defeat.
"Mad Fist." Bai Tian gave a loud roar as his fist whistled through the air. It was incomparably terrifying as if even the air itself was being torn apart by his fist"s strength.
However, Ye Xiao did not move the entire time. When the Mad Fist was about to arrive, a bright light covered everything and the spear light descended from the sky.
"Pfft!"
With a flash of light, everything quieted down. After that, Ye Xiao jumped down from the platform with an indifferent expression and returned to Feng Wuji"s side.
"This battle, Ye Xiao won." Wu Xiu said in a clear voice as the shock in his eyes faded.
"What happened?" Everyone present looked at each other. They clearly didn"t understand what had happened. Bai Tian was still standing perfectly fine on the platform. He was also the one who attacked with his Mad Fist Technique. It was Ye Xiao who jumped down from the platform. It should be Bai Tian"s victory then why did Wu Xiu announced Ye Xiao"s victory?
"Plop!"
As if answering those people, Bai Tian"s body fell to the ground with a thud. Fresh blood flowed out of his chest.
The crowd silently looked at the corpse on the ground and felt as if they were in a dream. A single strike, just a single strike was enough to kill a martial artist at the Middle Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm.
The powerful and tyrannical Bai Tian was directly killed and they didn"t even have the chance to admit defeat.
The crowd swallowed their saliva. They didn"t even see the spear light that descended from the sky clearly because that spear was really too fast. It was as fast as lightning and it did not allow them to react.
The scene was abnormally quiet. Even the heads of the three great families were filled with shock. Mo Li and Mu Yi were shocked. They were shocked because that spear attack was too astonishing. It was not something that someone of Ye Xiao"s age could use.
Ye Xiao only sneered in his heart. It was not that he used any technique to kill Bai Shan. After all, he could not use any technique because of his destroyed world.
The moment Bai Shan attacked him with his Mad Fist, Ye Xiao used "Soul Destruction" to destroy the soul of Bai Shan. After that, he took out his Sea Dragon Spear and covered it with Heavenly Thunder while randomly thrusting it towards Bai Shan.
Bai Shan was already killed so he was not able to block Ye Xiao"s attack, causing Ye Xiao"s spear to pierce in Bai Shan"s chest. After that, Ye Xiao kept the spear and walked down the platform.
All of this happened in the span of two to four seconds. This was not enough time for anyone to see clearly what happened, causing everyone"s confusion.
Bai Ming"s face could no longer be described as gloomy. At the moment, his face really looked too ugly. The second person in the younger generation of Bai Family, a genius whom they had cultivated with all their might, had actually been defeated so easily, without even being able to block a single attack from his opponent.
"I"ve said it before, don"t underestimate this little fellow."
A hint of surprise also flashed through Feng Wuji"s eyes but he quickly recovered and said to Su Xuan who was sitting by his side. He knew Ye Xiao would win but he did not expect him to win so thoroughly.
"Whew." Su Xuan"s supple b.r.e.a.s.t.s heaved as she let out a long sigh of relief. Only then did she manage to recover. However, the shock in her eyes did not recede as she said: "It really is unexpected."
"Big brother is so powerful." Feng Zhidie said in surprise. Although she had been under Feng Wuji"s protection since she was young, she was not a simple person. Even after seeing such a b.l.o.o.d.y scene, she did not feel any fear. It has to know that she was only around 12 years old.
"This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d." In his heart, Bai Ming could not help but start to pay more attention to Ye Xiao. If this continues, this brat might really be able to defeat everyone and help City Lord"s Mansion get a chance to enter Nature"s Chakra.
