Chapter 839: Sudden Arrival
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After all, Wei Ying was a newcomer, and the Juehan sect was not one of the strongest sects.
Of course, the most important thing was that Wei Ying was good-looking!
Although she could not compare to Ji Siqing, she was definitely one of the top beauties in the Kunlun Mountains, and her icy cold temperament incited the desire to conquer within people.
However, it now seemed that the icy beauty had been conquered.
Had it not been for Ye Chen’s terrifying strength and ruthlessness, many of these broken-hearted cultivators would have rushed into the arena to kill Ye
Chen.
As the judge, Elder Zheng could not indulge in such frivolities. He stepped forward and said to Ye Chen and Wei Ying, “The remaining nine spots have been confirmed. All that’s left is you two. Who won?”
Ye Chen looked behind Elder Zheng and saw a few people.
It was a little unfamiliar.
These people should be those who were advancing.
There were eight people, and two spots left.
One belonged to Ji Siqing, who had yet to return.
As for the last spot, it was between him and Wei Ying.
Ye Chen smiled and shrugged. “This round, I tied with Wei Ying. It’s hard to
determine the winner.””
“A draw?”
Elder Zheng’s face twitched, and the rest of the judges had ugly expressions on
their faces.
The crowd almost fell to the ground.
How could there be a draw in a martial arts sparring match? Not like this!
Ye Chen and Wei Ying were not injured at all, yet they said that their match had ended in a draw. Everyone knew that something fishy was going on.
Elder Zheng glanced at Little Gold, who was still snoring after the match, and then looked at Ye Chen.
“Martial arts sparring is not child’s play. How can there be a draw? There must be a result! The quota is already set, and we cannot accommodate eleven
people!”
Elder Zheng’s att.i.tude was extremely firm.
“This is easy to resolve!” Ye Chen held Little Gold in his arms and walked toward the other contestants who had pa.s.sed.
Suddenly, he stopped.
Little Gold opened its eyes and looked at them warily.
Ye Chen’s murderous aura enveloped them as his cold gaze swept across the group. His gaze was like a demon from h.e.l.l, cold and bloodthirsty.
These people knew Ye Chen’s strength. They took a few steps back and felt a chill run down their spines.
Clearly, they were afraid!
“There should be no need to doubt Wei Ying’s strength. Since there is no winner or loser, why don’t I pick a random person and spar with them?” As soon as these words were said, the people who had advanced instantly broke out into cold sweat. They had already thanked their lucky stars that they had not been matched up with Ye Chen or Wei Ying, so the thought of fighting either of them now made their skin crawl.
Furthermore, Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with killing intent. If any of them stepped onto the arena with him, they would definitely die!
With that little creature around, the judges could not stop him either!
Elder Zheng could tell that Ye Chen was threatening them. However, just as he was about to speak, a cultivator around the age of twenty-five suddenly stood up and said to Elder Zheng while clutching his stomach, “Elder Zheng, I’m really sorry. I feel that my dantian is a little uncomfortable. I should have suffered internal injuries in my last battle and am unable to step into the Dragon Cleansing Pool. Elder Zheng, I choose to withdraw!”
Elder Zheng’s expression changed. “The Dragon Cleansing Pool is an opportunity that only appears once in a hundred years. Are you sure you want to give up now?” he asked in surprise. Also, is the sect behind you willing?
The cultivator nodded repeatedly. “Elder Zheng, my sect master’s request is very simple. I just need to obtain a ranking, nothing else. My bloodline is special, so the Dragon Cleansing Pool is useless to me. Instead of wasting time, I might as well spend more time cultivating. Goodbye!”
Then, the cultivator left without waiting for Elder Zheng’s response.
Before he left, he took a deep look at Ye Chen.
It was obvious that he was frightened by Ye Chen, and even felt that Ye Chen had been staring at him, watching his every move. If his gut feeling was right, he would have been the one that Ye Chen chose to spar.
Therefore, he panicked. Was fate more important than life?
The Cyan Phoenix sect had offended Ye Chen and was almost completely annihilated. Since there was already an example, it was best to learn from their mistakes.
However, this person had actually misunderstood Ye Chen. He only wanted to see if anyone would leave. If no one left, he would not take action.
At worst, he would think of another way.
However, since someone had left, it was for the best.
“Elder Zheng, isn’t it just fine now?”
Elder Zheng heaved a long sigh. He did not dare to pursue the matter further and could only nod. “I hereby announce that Wei Ying of the Juehan sect and Ye Chen of the Medical G.o.d sect have successfully advanced.”
There should have been cheers, but at this moment, it was silent.
No one expected that the judges would actually compromise. Ye Chen was probably the only one who could advance in such a manner.
What could Elder Zheng and the other judges do about it?
They could not beat Ye Chen. If they angered Ye Chen, the entire Qianjue Plaza would probably be destroyed.
Elder Zheng glanced at the other judges and took out a jade pendant. He said indifferently, “It’s time to open the Dragon Cleansing Pool.”
Elder Zheng’s fingers formed a seal. Just as he was about to continue, a phenomenon actually appeared in the sky.
Dark clouds gathered, and on one side of the sky it was day, and on the other side it was night, just like Yin and Yang.
Endless thunder and lightning rumbled within the dark clouds, and wild gusts of wind blew past. A desolate aura enveloped the surroundings.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s expression changed.
This phenomenon was somewhat familiar!
“This is… Mr. Jingshui has arrived?”
“Yes, Yin and Yang… It must be Mister Jingshui!”
Seconds later, the five judges knelt down in fear and trepidation.
Their bodies were trembling.
Their heads were pressed against the ground, indicating their utmost loyalty toward Mr. Jing Shui.
Even the crowd knelt down piously. This was the veneration they had toward strength.
Mr. Jingshui’s strength and achievements were legendary, and his status was unshakeable!
Furthermore, his arrival here might signify a great opportunity. If they were supremely lucky, they might even be able to become his disciple.
However, there were also some who did not kneel.
Ye Chen, Wei Ying, Duan Huai An, and a few others stood proudly like pine trees. They showed no intention of kneeling at all.
Other than their parents and masters, no one else had the right to make them kneel!
This was their principle!
The dark clouds pressed down on the city, and gradually, a figure seemed to materialize in the sky.
An old man was standing on an eight-trigram formation disk and quickly flew over.
The strong wind caused his sleeves to flutter, and his aura felt ethereal and awe-inspiring.
Ye Chen glanced at the man, unsure of this person’s capabilities. This person was a potential enemy.
Little Gold, who was in his arms, sensed something. Its eyes were filled with anger as it roared in a low voice.
