Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Su Mo walked out of the fighting ring.
It was only after a long time that, with a weird expression, the Deacon announced that the compet.i.tion would continue.
Apart from the Deacon, many disciples had the same look on their faces as well.
All the disciples of the Sky Alliance who fought Su Mo had been killed without exception.
“Su Mo must be fearless. Is he really confident enough that he could wipe out all the disciples of the Sky Alliance?”
Rounds of compet.i.tions continued one after another.
So far, only three contestants had maintained a winning streak.
Nangong Linjue, Duan Bingye, and Su Mo.
Even Ling Muchen, who was in the third position, had lost to Duan Bingye.
After another few rounds, the fighting ring finally welcomed another heavyweight showdown.
Nangong Linjue against Duan Bingye.
The two stood atop the fighting ring facing each other.
“Senior Brother Nangong, I’ve waited a long time for this moment!” Duan Bingye smiled and said.
“Junior Sister Duan, you have the Ice Martial Soul and you have cultivated the Upper Lv 2 Martial Skill, Ice-breaking Fist. Do not hide your strength!” Nangong Linjue said sternly.
“I won’t disappoint you!” Duan Bingye nodded and said.
In the next moment, an ice shadow suddenly appeared behind Duan Bingye.
As the shadow appeared, the temperature dropped, and a terrifying chill swept across her surroundings.
In an instant, the fighting ring was covered with a thick layer of frost.
Above the ice shadow were nine yellow halos.
Martial Soul of the Rank 9 Human Cla.s.s, Ice Martial Soul.
“Not bad! In the Outer Gate, only your strength is worth my attention!”
Nangong Linjue was indifferent to the surrounding coldness.
Then, Nangong Linjue frowned and said, “However, I’m in a bad mood now, and I won’t hold back. I hope you can withstand five strokes from me!”
Despite Nangong Linjue’s calm tone, his words displayed an unbeatable confidence.
In other words, even someone as strong as Duan Bingye might not be able to withstand five strokes from him.
However, neither the disciples beneath the fighting ring nor Duan Bingye felt that Nangong Linjue was being arrogant.
It was as if Nangong Linjue beating Duan Bingye in five strokes was expected and reasonable.
“Senior Brother, make your move!”
Duan Bingye was dead serious, and the chill on her body turned stronger as the terrifying ice blue genuine Qi in her boiled.
“The first stroke!”
Nangong Linjue shouted thunderously, unsheathing his long saber and striking instantly.
This stroke was not fanciful, and the sharp saber Qi shot towards Duan Bingye, as if slicing the air into two pieces.
“Ice-breaking Fist!”
Duan Bingye dared not to be careless, and her fist covered in ice broke through the air and blasted towards the saber Qi.
Immediately, Duan Bingye exerted her genuine Qi and Martial Soul and surrounded herself with a thick layer of frost, and the cold air froze the ground around her.
Boom!
The terrifying saber Qi was invincible. It tore through the icy fist radiance and struck the frost in front of Duan Bingye.
Ice shards flew about, and the cold air tumbled. Duan Bingye fell back by three steps.
“The second stroke!”
Nangong Linjue was powerful. His long saber struck with madness as if it was an unleashed horse, and the pale fearsome saber Qi went through the air with an unstoppable force!
“Ice and Snow!”
Duan Bingye’s palms attacked continuously whilst she exerted her Martial Soul and genuine Qi to the maximum, causing the surrounding to become cold and frozen again.
However, the frozen air could not stop the saber Qi, which cut through the air invincibly.
Duan Bingye fell back repeatedly.
“The third stroke!”
Nangong Linjue was ferocious like a G.o.d, and each strike was faster and stronger than before. The terrifying saber Qi was dozens of meters long and had a groundbreaking force.
Duan Bingye fell back again and again.
She was completely terrified of Nangong Linjue’s imposing manner.
After four strokes, Duan Bingye was already at the edge of the fighting ring.
“Junior Sister, go down!”
As Nangong Linjue shouted, the saber radiance grew explosively, and his long saber seemed to have turned into a gigantic divine weapon before it struck.
“The fifth stroke, Cloud-breaking Cut!”
The strike disturbed the sky, and even the clouds were torn apart. The pale saber Qi rampaged and destroyed everything around it, and its terrifying force swept across the fighting ring.
At this moment, everyone was in awe.
Apart from the disciples, even some elders on the Spectator Stand were shocked.
He was too powerful!
This was expected of the best in the Outer Gate. No one in the outer gate could withstand that powerful stroke.
On the fighting ring, Duan Bingye was under immense pressure facing Nangong Linjue’s stroke.
Her expression changed rapidly, and just as the saber Qi was about to hit her.
She gritted her teeth and jumped down from the fighting ring without hesitation.
The saber Qi went over her head and landed on the outer hall’s stone pillar hundreds of meters away.
The stone pillar that had the girth of several men’ arms was split into two.
“Junior Sister, you’re good!” Nangong Linjue said calmly.
He kept his saber and saluted Duan Bingye with his fists clasped.
“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Nangong to be so powerful. I admit my defeat!”
Duan Bingye looked dejected, feeling the frustration of her defeat.
Despite being strong, she was far from his level.
Duan Bingye could not help but look towards the tall and straight figure in the pavilion far away.
Duan Jingtian had his hands behind him and stood silently in the pavilion, like a mighty king above everyone.
Duan Jingtian sighed when he felt Duan Bingye’s gaze.
He was only here to see Duan Bingye’s performance in the Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion.
He had always doted on Duan Bingye, who was his cousin.
This time, Duan Bingye even promised him that she would wipe out the Outer Gate, defeating Nangong Linjue to become the best in the Outer Gate.
She had obviously failed to do so.
However, despite being disappointed in Duan Bingye, he was extremely satisfied with Nangong Linjue’s performance.
Nangong Linjue was his faithful follower as part of the Sky Alliance. If nurtured properly, Nangong Linjue could become his right-hand man one day.
“Nangong Linjue wins!”
On the square, the Deacon shouted loudly, still in awe.
Nangong Linjue turned and walked down from the fighting ring.
However, without hiding his killing desire, he stared coldly in Su Mo’s direction before exiting the fighting ring.
Su Mo squinted his eyes.
Nangong Linjue was indeed powerful, almost inconceivably powerful, but Su Mo was not afraid.
“Senior Brother Nangong’s too strong! Even Senior Sister Duan couldn’t withstand five strokes from him!”
“In the Outer Disciple Compet.i.tion this year, Senior Brother Nangong’s position remains unchallenged!”
“That’s right, even Su Mo wouldn’t possibly have a chance!”
All the disciples were discussing excitedly.
