Against The Gods
Chapter 217 – Suppression to an Untolerable Level

Outside of the Four Main Sects, if there was a need to choose a fifth sect, then the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress whose name swayed in the North, had the most appropriate rights among the various sects. Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress has two highest techniques – of which one is “Heavenly Spear” and the other is “Thunderfire”. This time, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress also lived up to its reputation with the two disciples in the last thirty-two ranks and the two disciples were also at the eighth level of the Spirit Profound. Their average strength was far greater than the general level of the tournament and of all the competing sects, it was only weaker than the Four Major Sects.

His first opponent in round 32 was a member of the Four Major Sects, so at first there was a tight feeling in Mu Xiongyi's heart. However looking at Ling Jie, who was only sixteen years old and only at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, he let out a sigh of relief and laughed with pleasure: “Hehe, he said, This Ling Jie was clearly here to gain experience. For the next tournament. This match is mine. “

“Better be careful. The strength of the Heavenly Sword Villa disciples could not be assessed with just the level of profound strength. “Mu Xiongyan, who also entered in the top thirty-two rankings, said in a low voice.

“Ha ha! Relax brother. If I can't even defeat a child at the sixth level of Spirit Profound, maybe I will kill myself with a spear stab! “

Mu Xiongyi jumped onto the Sword Discourse Arena with a loud shout. With a sturdy swing of his right arm, a spear that was nine feet long danced and pointed at Ling Jie: “Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress-Mu Xiongyi. Kindly guidance!”

“Good speech, good speech.” Ling Jie did not show any sense of nervousness when facing a strong opponent, but replied with a face full of laughter. Then, he slowly drew his weapon – Space Splitting Sword. This sword was the high-grade Earth Profound Weapon he had obtained from the Sword Management Terrace a month ago. Although it could not be compared to the Sky Profound Sword, among the Earth Profound Weapons, it was definitely the best weapon with incredible strength.

“Chairman Ling, we can start now,” Ling Jie said.

“Good!” Ling Wugou nodded: “Murid Heavenly Sword Villa -Ling Jie – against – Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress-Mu Xiongyi, the match begins!”

Mu Xiongyi attacked first. Without restraint in his movements, the spear crashed directly. With a sharp swish sound in the air, the tip of the spear stuck to Ling Jie's throat like a snake that suddenly attacked. Ling Jie's eyes narrowed. The Space Splitting Sword directly charged towards the spear in a piercing motion. Bursts of rattling sounds and the sound of a collision of profound energies echoed in the air. The sword shadow and spearhead struck dozens of times in a few moments as a thunder-like sound rattled the ears of the people present.

The sword was like a fierce tiger. The spear was like a poisonous dragon. The battle between the dragon and the tiger was getting more intense. There were several hundred attacks in the blink of an eye, and in the stalemate, neither side could attack the other.

“Ling Jie this is truly amazing. To think that he could compete against an opponent whose strength was higher than his two levels without falling into an unfavorable position. “Cang Yue could not resist praising.

Yun Che's gaze left the Sword Discourse Arena and said calmly: “Senior sister, this is actually the opposite of what you said. It had to be said that Mu Xiongyi was extremely outstanding. He could actually face so many Ling Jie sword attacks. But the important thing was that Ling Jie was being lenient. Otherwise, Mu Xiongyi would have long since lost. “

“Ah?” Cang Yue blinked her beautiful eyes, as her entire face was filled with shock.

Yun Che had fought against Ling Jie before. Although it was only for three sword attacks, it was enough for him to generally have a rough idea of Ling Jie's true strength. He slowly said: The sword from Heavenly Sword Villa is strong on “niat sword”, not just the sword form that is activated with profound strength. Right now, Ling Jie was only relying on sword form and could fight on a level with Mu Xiongyi who was two levels higher than him, Mu Xiongyi would definitely lose very quickly. “

Yun Che's words were quickly fulfilled. After the sword clashed with the spear several hundred times, Ling Jie seemed to have lost his temper. The look in his eyes changed slightly, and the shadow of the sword he struck became even faster. In the end, the sword shadow could no longer be seen, and there was only a glimpse of a small shadow that was neither here nor there.

If the third party saw this change, they would only feel shocked, yet Mu Xiongyi felt as if his opponent had suddenly turned into someone else. Every time he hit his spear with his full power, it made a loud sound. However, as it smashed into Ling Jie's sword, it no longer made the loud echoing sound like before; It just made the “ding” sound soft and then the power it put into its spear was gone not back. The empty feeling made him very uncomfortable. What was even more shocking was the fact that his vision could no longer comprehend the existence of Ling Jie's sword shadow. Not even a swish of the sword could be heard anymore, as if the sword in Ling Jie's hand had mysteriously disappeared.

Mu Xiongyi did not panic and no longer paid attention to Ling Jie's sword shadow. He unleashed all his might. His spear strength became increasingly fierce. As fast as a bright beam, the nine-foot spear was like an enraged dragon, flying and writhing at the same time.

However, contrary to his expectations, Ling Jie was not forced back by his increasingly powerful spear force several times over. With a flick of his wrist, the Space Splitting Sword was like an agile snake that could twist and turn. It pierced through the profound energy storm, piercing through several layers of spear shadows and directly pierced Mu Xiongyi.

Riiip …

Mu Xiongyi's energy defense was very easily torn apart. Accompanied by the excruciating pain there were two more wounds on the front of his chest that were deep enough to see the bones … and Mu Xiongyi was completely unable to understand when Ling Jie was close enough to strike his chest.

Mu Xiongyi's heart was greatly shocked. With a loud roar, he attacked with enough force to annihilate a thousand soldiers and force Ling Jie to stay away. He jumped high into the air. Strength filled his right arm, and he fiercely threw the spear. The spear momentarily then turned into a comet that was as fast as lightning. It slid towards Ling Jie with a shockwave that alarmed the audience.

“This ... This is the main technique of Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress... Heaven Raising Spear!”

Separated by a distance of several tens of meters, the spectators could clearly feel the fierce power from this spear attack. Anyone who was hit by this spear attack, even if they were at the peak Spirit Profound Realm, might have to waste half their lives.

Ling Jie quickly retreated but did not completely dodge. Under the gazes of many people, he attacked against the attacks that came with a single sword maneuver …

Ding !!

No loud impact noise. As the Space Splitting Sword met the spear, only a slight buzzing sound could barely be heard.

“Good performance from Redirection Arts!” Ling Yuefeng nodded in praise as a rare expression filled his face.

A large amount of sword intent flooded in, sucking out powerfully at the spear that was filled with explosive grand energy. Following which, the Space Splitting Sword slashed down the spear in front of Ling Jie. This time the spear point of the Heaven Raising Spear technique turned around and shot towards the jolted Mu Xiongyi.

Bang! ! !

Rocks and pebbles scattered around the Sword Discourse Arena. The spear deeply stuck under Mu Xiongyi's feet. The whole body dug it into the stage.

Mu Xiongyi retreated two steps back and fell on the ground as cold sweat seeped from his forehead. If the direction of the previous spear had just been directed a little further forward, then his body would have an additional hole.

“I ... I admit defeat.” Mu Xiongyi no longer had the will to fight. His chest rose and fell as he trembled in fear.

“Hehe, you let me win.” Ling Jie pulled out his sword. He's very happy with himself.

“Heavenly Sword Villa-Ling Jie wins and will enter the last 16 tomorrow!

This result was out of the expectations of many, but more people felt that it was only natural. Yun Che stroked his chin and said inwardly in a low voice: “Such as from the Four Major Sects and also have the same level of strength, yet their true strength has such a huge gap … Heavenly Sword Villa is indeed worthy. “

The two people he was talking about were naturally Xiao Nan from the Xiao Sect and Ling Jie from the Heavenly Sword Villa. Both of them were at the sixth level of the Spirit Profound Realm but the gap between their true strength was unnatural.

Round 32 continues. In the morning, the match in Group One was over. In the afternoon, the Group Two match begins. If one did a direct comparison, the matches in Group Two were much more intense and exciting than the matches in Group One. This was because the overall strength of Group Two was much higher than the strength of Group One overall.

It was night time when Round 32 ended. The sixteen participants for the next day's elimination round had all been decided. Of the Four Major Sects, other than Xiao Nan, who had defeated Yun Che, the other eleven disciples entered the top sixteen, which completely occupied the top two-thirds of the top sixteen.

The setting for the Round of 16 the next day was also displayed on the Profound Stone in the middle of the Sword Discourse Arena after the end of today's competition.

The opponent that Yun Che was going to face the next day was from the same Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress as Ling Jie's opponent today – Mu Xiongyan.

“From today's competition, you can see Mu Xiongyan's specialty is completely different from Mu Xiongyi's. Mu Xiongyi specializes in ‘Heavenly Spear’ while Mu Xiongyan specializes in ‘Thunderfire’. Thunderfire was much harder to cultivate than Heavenly Sword but his strength also far exceeded that of the Heavenly Spear. Ranking tournaments allow the use of any weapon, including firearms! Mu Xiongyan whose body carried Thunderfire, hid dozens of different firearms and bombs on his person. His innumerable attacks, and even destroying the defense that was truly prepared.. Tomorrow, you should be sure to be careful! “

In today's match, Yun Che once again scored a huge victory, causing Qin Wushang to be above the moon with happiness. However after seeing that the opponent of the next day was Mu Xiongyan, he was unable to calm down .. Compared to Mu Xiongyan, he was exactly the opposite, preferring the opponent was someone from the Four Great Sects, instead, because Mu Xiongyans attack was too frightening. Just being a little negligent can lead to becoming disabled. Most likely it happened, the star that shone so brightly in the BLue Wind Profound Palace would definitely dim.

“ Rest assured Palace Head Qin, I won't get hurt that easily. Also, “Her eyes glared as she grinned,” Tomorrow, I will win as usual. You stay watching! “

“Haha, great!” Qin Wushang laughed. Yun Che still had not finished the next match and he realized that he was once again underestimating Yun Che. He now no longer thought that it was certain for Yun Che to stop at this step, but instead was full of hope. He wanted to see how far he could go .. Can he get into the top eight .. Or maybe even break the “monopoly” of the Four Major Sects and get the shocking glory of entering the top four!

At the end of today's competition, four people from Blue Wind Profound Palace returned to their courtyards. There were already three people waiting for them here. More precisely, they were waiting for Yun Che.

Of the three, one was a middle-aged man. The other two were the youths who had been present at the competition venue today. One of them was Mu Xiongyi whom Ling Jie had defeated. The other had defeated his opponent and entered the round of 16 the next day. He was Yun Che's opponent for the next day, Mu Xiongyan.

Upon seeing Yun Che, the middle-aged man immediately walked as fast as a comet and said to Yun Che: “I am the Master of Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress-Mu Tianbei. At the risk of being arrogant, I have an important matter to discuss with esteemed Young Master Yun. “

Mu Tianbei was rude. There was a natural arrogance in him. After all, in the frozen northern expanse, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress could be certain to be the dominant force. As his Master, it could be said that he could even cover the sky with one hand there and no one could resist him. Within the confines of the entire Blue Wind Empire, the reputation of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress was basically only second to the Four Major Sects.

He came and directly asked Yun Che. As for Qin Wushang who was by his side and even Princess Cang Yue, he did not even give them a glance. He was the type of arrogant person who believed himself to be beyond the law and even beyond Heaven. A frown appeared on Qin Wushang's forehead but he did not say anything. Yun Che advanced and asked, “So, it is the esteemed Master Mu. What should Master Mu discuss with this Junior? “

“This is very simple,” Mu Tianbei gazed directly at Yun Che: “I have watched Young Master Yun's appearance in the ranking tournament for a few days and my heart sighed in admiration. Regarding Young Master Yun's talent and strength, even if it was among the Four Major Sects, there were only a few disciples who could match up. To remain in the small Blue Wind Profound Palace was like burying a pearl. How about joining the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress? “

Once these words came out, even if Qin Wushang had even better self-restraint, he would still feel extremely angry. It was one thing to weaken his foundation, but this Mu Tianbei up did this before Princess Cang Yue and him. He did not even disguise his contempt for Blue Wind Profound Palace and did not even bother with Blue Wind Profound Palace or the Imperial Family. It was just insulting to an irresistible extent.
