Chapter 70: Lingwu Country
Ye Xiao also looked at the two experts. One was a slightly fat man with a blade in his hand and the other one looked like a skeleton. He was very thin but the look in his eyes were filled with evil light.
"Hey, do you know who they are?" A young man"s voice sounded next to Ye Xiao"s ears.
Ye Xiao turned to look and saw that this was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. Ye Xiao replied, "No, I don"t know them. Maybe they are two sect leaders of the five great sects."
"No, they are not. I know every one of the Martial Emperor Realm Experts of our Azure Dragon Country. There are only Seven Martial Emperor Realm experts in our Azure Dragon Country. Five of them are from the five great sects and two of them are from the Imperial Family. In the Imperial Family, the current emperor is one of the Martial Emperor Realm Expert and another one is the ancestor of the Imperial Family. Be it any one, one thing is common in everyone of them and that is they all are the martial artist of only First Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm."
"But from the looks of these two"s fighting prowess, they are at least at the Third Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm." That young man said.
"How do you know that these two people are the martial artist of at least Third Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm? You are only a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator. You definitely did not have the ability to see through these two experts." Ye Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Oh! this. Hehe, Of course I can not see through them. I"m sure about this because..."That young man said until here and stopped then again continued to say, "because my grandfather is a martial artist of the Martial Emperor Realm."
"....."
Ye Xiao looked at him with a strange gaze. He didn"t believe what that young man said to him. If his grandfather was really a Martial Emperor Realm martial artist, why would he be here, partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion.
"Heh, you don"t believe me right?" That young man also saw Ye Xiao"s strange expression and laughed, "Let me tell you, sect master of the Profound Sky Sect is my grandfather. My name is Wen Xiang. Very few people knows me after all not everybody had seen be even once. You are a lucky fellow. You got to know me, Wen Xiang. Haha." Wen Xiang laughed with a proud expression.
"If you are really what you are telling me who you are then why are you here, taking part in this compet.i.tion." Ye Xiao looked at him suspiciously.
"Hehe, I sneaked out from the sect. I rarely come out from the sect. My father and grandfather never let me come out. They always say to me that when I at least become a Origin Core Realm martial artist. Only then will they give me the permission to go out. Humph!"
"So you just sneaked out from there just because of it."
"Hehe. I just wanted to have some fun. Who would have thought that we will encounter these two Martial Emperor Realm experts here."
"Yeah! that"s true."
In the sky, two Martial Emperor Realm experts were fighting very intensely. The shock wave that was coming out when they fought was like a destroyer which was destroying everything in their way.
"Zhang Qing, do you really want to fight with me to death. If this continued, we"ll both die here."
"Bo Xi, I already said before, give me that thing and I"ll stop fighting otherwise today, even if I die here, I"ll take you down with me."
"You are insane."
"So what if I am."
Two figures that were fighting with each other talked while fighting through which everyone got an idea of who they are.
The fat man"s name was Zhang Qing and the skeleton man"s name was Bo Xi. They were fighting so intensely because of some sort of treasure.
Zhang Qing slashed with his blade toward skeleton man, Bo Xi.
Bo XI dodged to the side and strikes with his palm. That palm collided with Zhang Qing"s shoulder and a cracking sound came out from there. His shoulder dislocated and a crack also appeared. Zhang Qing was thrown backward but just as he was thrown back by the palm strike, he also slashed again.
Bo Xi"s eyes flickered with fear. He hurriedly dodged again but even then the slash landed on his fingers and two of his fingers were cut down.
"Ah! wait wait. I"ll give you that thing. But You have to give me half of it." Bo Xi shouted loudly. He was afraid that if this continued, he"ll die here without any burial ground.
Zhang Qing who was thrown back was about to come near Bo Xi and slash again but at that moment, he heard Bo Xi. He stopped and said, "That thing is something that I risked my life to obtain. You were the one who stole it from me. I"ll not give you even a fraction of it."
"Either you give me half of it or let"s truly fight to death. I am not afraid. Come, come at me." Bo Xi also shouted in anger and he was again ready to fight.
Seeing this Zhang Qing hesitated a little and then said, "Ok ok. I"ll definitely not give you half of it but let"s both take a step back. I"ll give thirty percent of it."
"No, fifty percent."
"Thirty five percent and that"s it."
"No, I"ll take minimum forty percent and if you are not ready then let"s fight and let the fight decide who will obtain that thing."
"Ok ok, forty percent. I"ll give you that much. Now give me back that thing."
"Not now, first, we"ll return to the Lingwu Country and then we"ll device it."
"Ok then, let"s return there first."
When their conversation came to end, they didn"t even looked down and flew away.
"Lingwu Country?" Ye Xiao was shocked to find out that those Martial Emperors were not from the Azure Dragon Country. They were from a different country known as the Lingwu Country.
"You don"t know? Lingwu Country is one of the biggest country that comes under the Grand Xia Empire. Our Azure Dragon Country is one of the smallest country of the Grand Xia Empire." Wen Xiang said.
"How do you know about the Grand Xia Empire." Ye Xiao asked. As far as he know, from the letter that was left behind by the first ever Peak Martial Emperor Realm expert of the Azure Dragon Country, Mu Chen that no one in the Azure Dragon County knows about the existence of the Grand Xia Empire.
"Oh! this. You don"t know." Wen Xiang looked at Ye Xiao strangely and then said, "Grand Xia Empire organises a compet.i.tion among all the country that comes under it every ten years. And the champion as well as top ten can get the qualification to enter the Royal treasury and choose one thing from there."
"So that"s how it is." Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding, "Do you know how long it is until the next compet.i.tion organised by the Grand Xia Empire."
"Not long. It will be held again in two years." Wen Xiang replied.
Ye Xiao nodded his head and looked at other partic.i.p.ants who were leaving this place. The fight was over and all peoples were going back.
"Heh, brother, I am also going. Let us meet again in the future." Wen Xiang also bed his farewell to Ye Xiao and left.
Ye Xiao also looked here and there and seeing that there was not a single person present here, he also started to walk back but just as he was about to walk back, a yellow flash flashed near his shoulder and in the blink of an eye, it appeared twenty meters away from Ye Xiao.
"Little Yellow, what are you doing? Come back, we have to go." Ye Xiao shouted and ran toward Little Yellow.
"Chii chii!"
When he reached there, Little Yellow pointed at something on the ground in front of him.
Ye Xiao looked there and saw a red substance which was flickering with light red light.
"Do you know what this thing is?" Ye Xiao asked.
"Chii chii!"
Little Yellow ignored him and picked up that red substance and then swallowed more than half of it. After swallowing the large half of that substance, it gave the leftover to Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao took it from Little Yellow and when he touched it, he felt it was like jelly. He looked at it for a while, hesitated a little and swallowed it.
The moment he swallowed that jelly like thing, he felt a vast energy exploding in his stomach. He felt like as if he was about to explode.
He hurriedly sat down and started circulating the First Layer of the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.
