Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
As soon as the results of the draw appeared, both Qin Wushuang and Xin Tianwen raised their heads. They glared at each other with austere eyes and did not disguise their resentment at all.
At the same time, they had a strange thought, “The Xuan Yuan Clan must be up to something or else how could it be such a coincidence every time? Anyways, it’s just what we wished!”
Instantly, the audience beneath the stage became excited.
The Qin Clan against the Xin Clan!
This was a predestined battle! There would be too much to see. Aside from those grudges between the Qin and Xin Clan, from the four rounds of compet.i.tion from their challengers, the powerhouses supported by the Qin Clan completely annihilated those supported by the Xin Clan. This would escalate the intensity of the battle.
Will the Qin Clan suppress the Xin Clan in one spurt of breath? Or will the Xin Clan destroy the Qin Clan and turn against this crazy tide?
Objectively speaking, although the Qin Clan showed an imposing manner previously, they also had clear weaknesses. In fact, their absolute elite warriors were not stronger than the Xin Clan, but much weaker.
The main reason was everyone knew Qin Xiaotian suffered severe injuries. And Qin Wushuang was too young. It would definitely be unpredictable whether he can resist a famed elite warrior like Xin Tianwen.
For the Xin Clan, they had the overbearing Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen. They claimed to be the number one existence beneath the totem powerhouses in the Xuan Yuan Mound. Among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, they were definitely the top.
Also, they had the Saber Beard divine beast on par with Tianwen. These two finale elite warriors were enough to ensure that the Xin Clan stayed undefeated.
Therefore, although everyone was extremely astonished by the Qin Clan’s earlier performance, at crucial moments, they still did not think highly of the clan after a thorough a.n.a.lysis.
Of course, the Qin Clan had Qin Wushuang who excelled in creating miracles. Naturally, everyone had their expectations set high. They hoped Qin Wushuang would create some miracles in this big scene.
Xuan Yuan Ba started to announce the list, “The contestants for the Xin Clan are: third-tier, Xin Tianchen, second-tier Guardian Saber Beard, first-tier Xin Tianwen!”
This disposition of forces was not at all ambiguous. It was completely within everyone’s expectations. Saber Beard and Xin Tianwen were their double insurance.
Xuan Yuan Ba looked over at the Qin Clan and continued to speak, “These are the following contestants for the Qin Clan. Third-tier…”
Xuan Yuan Ba deliberately stopped for a moment for he clearly wanted to keep others guessing. He shot a glance at the Qin Clan and there were some surprised looks from his eyes. Then, he glanced around the stage and continued to speak, “Third-Tier Guardian divine beast for the Qin Clan, Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast. Second-tier, Qin Xiaotian, first-tier, Qin Wushuang!”
Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast? What is that?
People who were not aware asked around and engaged in lively conversation. Xin Tianwen and Saber Beard looked at each other and felt a burst of coldness on their backs. They seemed to have been played by the Qin Clan again.
They were all old and experienced people, naturally they heard about the Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast. In the past, the Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast was on the same level as Golden Cicada, a member of the Karakorum Immortal Clan of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. If Golden Cicada had not sealed him, certainly he would be at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. In terms of experience, he was no less than Xin Tianwen.
The expression of Xin Tianchen changed greatly. He sent his voice, “Your majesty, Sir Saber Beard, at the Illusion Heavenly Lake, that Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast once escorted Qin Wushuang out of the ordeal island. Unexpectedly, he was bribed!”
This Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast is a freelance martial artist. He belongs to no sect. Although he moves around the Illusion Heavenly Lake permanently, he does not count as a foreign powerhouses. Therefore, it is ok for him to to a.s.sist the Qin Clan.
Xin Tianwen looked at Qin Wushuang profoundly. Where was that Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast? He was extremely familiar with their faces. He didn’t even see Qin Xiaotian.
At this moment, a straightforward long hiss came from beneath the stage. “Ha ha ha, Brother Wushuang, time for me to come out?” This voice was definitely from the Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast. As he activated his body, his ten thousand long whiskers waved like long tentacles. He already flew up to the Xuan Yuan stage.
When Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast saw Saber Beard, he was slightly stunned and then he laughed. “Saber Beard, are you in this shady business too?”
Saber Beard said coldly, “Thousand Feeler, since when are you acquainted with the Qin Clan?”
Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast said lazily, “You needed to repay your debt when you owed the Xin Clan. Of course, I need to repay mine since I owe the Head Chief big time. Tsk tsk, Saber Beard, having not seen you for two thousand years, you ran ahead of me. Nice, good job.”
Clearly, these two divine beasts knew each other. None of them could have imagined that they’d meet under this circ.u.mstance. Hearing his words, Saber Beard gave a cold snort. Yet inwardly, he was worried.
If this Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast hadn’t been sealed for a long time, he would not be inferior to him. Even in this case, it will be sufficient for him to deal with Xin Tianchen. Even with the two sealed beast souls, most likely they would not be much use before the Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast.
In this case, this Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast clearly had the power approaching the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Secondly, his millions of tentacles were good tools to deal with a group of people.
“Tianwen, you and I have a heavy responsibility. Tianchen will not have any chance to win against this monster.” Saber Beard’s tone was heavy.
Xin Tianwen had also seen through it.
“Tianchen, try it out. If it’s not possible, don’t push yourself. Remember to admit defeat and save yourself,” Xin Tianwen instructed.
Two of the Xin Clan elite warriors had died. Xin Tianwen’s head was bleeding because of this. Now in terms of this problem, he was extremely careful.
If something happened to Xin Tianchen, he would truly become a lone commander.
“Please have the third-tier partic.i.p.ant come to the Xuan Yuan stage!” Xuan Yuan Ba said loudly.
Xin Tianchen could only summon his courage to walk up. Inwardly, he was already feeling intimidated. This Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast was almost at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. So what if he could summon the twin sealed beast souls! The disparity was too big. It cannot be made up with more people.
Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast remembered Qin Wushuang’s advice closely. He must launch a fatal attack as soon as he moved. Before the other party had the chance to surrender, he would try to kill him.
Therefore, when Xuan Yuan Ba announced the start of the compet.i.tion, Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast activated all of his tentacles instantly. He rolled at Xin Tianchen with an omnipresent force.
Xin Tianchen had never witnessed this power. Unconsciously, he swayed and retreated backwards at a quick speed. He would not dare to confront them at all.
Letting out an eerie smile, Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast opened all of those tentacles widely to form an inescapable net in the sky. Opening and closing in the sky, he directly wrapped the entire Xuan Yuan stage inside.
Suddenly Xin Tianwen’s heart sank as he shouted, “Tianchen, surrender!”
As Xin Tianchen evaded in the sky, without hesitation, he cried out as soon as he heard him, “I surrender!”
When Xuan Yuan Ba heard these words, he shouted, “Stop!”
Since one party admitted defeat, it will be viewed as defying the rules if the other party kept attacking. They would get disqualified. Thousand Feeler Cloud Chasing Beast stopped embarra.s.singly and shot a helpless glance at Qin Wushuang. He was apologetic.
The opponent was a Transformation Supreme Dao warrior of the Third or Fourth Calamity. It was clearly impossible to kill him instantly. On the stage, it was nearly impossible to kill him in seconds if the opponent was vigilant.
Qin Wushuang let out a slight smile. It was rather insignificant whether he killed this Xin Tianchen or not. Since the Xin Clan was this cunning, there was nothing that could be done. He could not disobey the rules to kill one Xin Tianchen?
Yet in this case, the audience beneath the stage could not refrain from being dumbstruck. This was the Heavenly Emperor compet.i.tion? How could he surrender before actual fighting?
Could this Xin Clan truly not plan to resist? To suffer total defeat?
“What’s going on? Surrender before fighting? This is not exciting.”
“How to fight? Xin Tianchen is too weak compared to that senior divine beast. They are not at the same level. He would be digging his own grave if he kept it up. That divine beast gives fatal attacks in one move, surrendering is the smartest choice.”
“In this case, the Xin Clan will lose for sure.”
“What do you know. It doesn’t matter to the Xin Clan whether they win the first round or not. The highlight is Saber Beard and his majesty Xin Tianwen. Qin Xiaotian suffered severe injuries and Qin Wushuang is still young. Regardless of how we look, the Qin Clan is at a disadvantage. So, the Xin Clan bets on the last two rounds!”
The words of this person won much recognition. In terms of the circ.u.mstance, the Xin Clan would strive for the later two rounds. In terms of Xin Tianchen, even if the Qin Clan did not send the divine beast and sent Qin Yunran, there was a low probability of winning for Xin Tianchen.
“Second round, Qin Xiaotian against Saber Beard!”
Xuan Yuan Ba clearly wanted to stir up the battle atmosphere with his high-spirited voice along with moving tone.
Indeed, there was a burst of cheer from beneath the stage. The crowd became excited. Qin Xiaotian, the previous Head Chief of the Qin Clan, an elite warrior at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Saber Beard was also a Genuine Supreme Dao warrior.
To these people beneath the stage, a battle between Genuine Supreme Dao warriors was a legendary battle. They never heard about it in the past. Yet now, they could see it with their own eyes.
Saber Beard gave an eerie smile and walked onto the Xuan Yuan stage. As he stood there with a majestic manner, it seemed the color of the sky became dimmed across the stage.
Suddenly, a burst of vicissitude laughter came from the crowd. Qin Xiaotian also walked out from the crowd and walked up one step at a time.
That att.i.tude did not make his entrance appear like a Genuine Supreme Dao warrior. Instead, like a mortal coming to a pilgrimage to the Xuan Yuan Stage, he took each step with such sincerity.
Saber Beard frowned lightly for he was not aware of what Qin Xiaotian was playing. When Qin Xiaotian finally walked up to the stage, Saber Beard gave a cold sneer, “Qin Xiaotian, what are you playing on the Xuan Yuan Stage?”
An indifferent smile was carried on the corner of Qin Xiaotian’s mouth. He sized Saber Beard a few times and asked with a leisurely tone, “Saber Beard, just how big of a debt do you owe Xin Tianwen that makes you work for him to such extent?”
Saber Beard said angrily, “That’s not your business. Enough with the blabbering, this compet.i.tion for Heavenly Emperor competes with skill not blabbering.”
Qin Xiaotian chuckled. “You are wrong. When I came to the stage this time, I also planned to blabber with you.”
Saber Beard was stunned, he did not know what Qin Xiaotian was doing. Raising his eyebrows, he said, “Qin Xiaotian, put away your naughty tricks, I will not fall for them. Come come come, show me if you are a true Genuine Supreme Dao warrior or if you have an undeserved reputation.”
