Against The Gods
Chapter 224 – Xia Qingyue Vs Xiao Kuanglei

“That took the initiative to retreat was not Ling Jie but actually Ling Feiyu ..” Yun Che was also dumbfounded. In the previous match, the power Ling Feiyu had revealed was staggering. Practitioners in Group One were far from the level in Group Two, and Ling Feiyu was the strongest practitioner publicly recognized in Group One. Regardless of whether it was Round 32 or Round 16, he had always easily defeated his opponent in five moves. In this match against Ling Jie, everyone believed that Ling Jie would lose, or take the initiative to give up. No one expected that the one who took the initiative to give up was actually Ling Feiyu!

“Does this mean, that Junior Brother Yun's opponent tomorrow is Ling Jie?” This result actually caused Cang Yue a little relief. After all, no matter how you think about it, the sixth level of Spirit Profound sounded less threatening than the ninth level of Spirit Profound.

“Could it be that because Ling Jie is the son of Villa Master, Ling Feiyu did not dare to defeat him on stage, so he gave up first?” Xia Yuanba scratched his head as he asked in confusion.

“No! If the Heavenly Sword villa was an overbearing place, it would never be able to become the number one power of Blue Wind Empire. “Yun Che slightly lowered his brows and looked at Ling Jie who was happily laughing at the Sword Discourse Arena:” There was only one possibility, and Ling Jie's strength surpassed Ling Feiyu's ability. Not only that, it might far surpass him. It seemed like tomorrow would be a difficult battle. “

He turned his gaze to the seat of the Heavenly Sword Villa, finding calmness in Ling Yuefeng and Ling Yun's expressions, as if what this revealed was completely ordinary.

The speed and result of the second match was completely unexpected as it neared the end. The third match came shortly afterwards, with Heavenly Sword Villa Ling Yun and Frozen Cloud Asgard’s Shui Wushuang opposite.

This was a clash between the Heavenly Sword Villa core disciple and the Frozen Cloud Asgard core disciple. This kind of duel has usually emerged as the last battle in the past, but this year's group split has led to an imbalance of average strength, making what should have been the tournament's final showdown to an earlier one, Quarterfinals.

And the speed of this confrontation ended, even faster than in the second match.

“Wushuang, you can give up on this match if you want.” Chu Yueli suddenly said as Shui Wushuang was about to jump into the Sword Discourse Arena.

Shui Wushuang was silent for a while, but did not refute him. Instead, he softly said, “Ya.”

“Three years ago, the strength of Senior Sister Mu had far surpassed this time, but suffered a great defeat to Ling Yun. Three years had passed since then and Ling Yun's strength had surged back. You're no match for him at all. As long as you're even a little serious about it, you'll be all injured and lost in five moves. Because like that, it's better to just back off. “

While letting what others saw as their “ core” disciples leave the match, Chu Yueli actually said it with a certain composure. His unblinking eyes did not reveal the slightest bit of his unwillingness and regret. Perhaps, this is just a simple decision that is not important.

“Ya, Teacher, Student understands.” Shui Wushuang slowly nodded, then returned to her seat.

Ling Wugou then stated: “Shui Wushuang from Frozen Cloud Asgard surrendered, Ling Yun from Heavenly Sword Villa won without a match and will enter the Semifinal tomorrow!”

Although this result caused a lot of discussion among the audience, it was still not so unexpected. After all, Ling Yun's strength was truly too terrifying. Even if Shui Wushuang was the current core disciple of Frozen Cloud Asgard, he simply did not have the strength to win the fight. Giving up is the most reasonable option. But on one hand, Frozen Cloud Asgard still had one more disciple, namely Xia Qingyue, who had the lowest strength of the three participating disciples. His opponent also happened to be a core disciple of the Xiao Sect whose strength surpassed him – Xiao Kuanglei. If he lost, Frozen Cloud Asgard had no chance of entering the Semifinals, and could only occupy fourth place.

Until now, the only match officially carried out was Yun Che's match against Fen Juebi, but three of the four who appeared in the Semifinals tomorrow had already been decided. It was the Two brothers from the Heavenly Sword Villa, Ling Yun and Ling Jie, as well as the Blue Wind-Yun Che Imperial Family.

The two Heavenly Sword Villa members who entered the top four were not beyond anyone's expectations. But the fact that the top four had an additional disciple who was not a member of the Four Major Sects, who only came from the Blue Wind Imperial Family, who had always been placed at the lower middle level, was, it has made the entire ranking tournament very unusual. The Blue Wind Imperial Family who had always been embarrassed and had never received any glory in a ranking tournament had actually only relied on one person, a seventeen-year-old disciple, to continue making everyone dumbfounded. His performance had allowed him to reach the top four positions. In this ranking tournament, Blue Wind imperial family's power rank was now also a guarantee of a minimum of the top three !!

As long as one was not blind, they could clearly see that after Yun Che defeated Fen Juebi, the previously calm Qin Wushang laughed out loud so he grimaced in pain. Even his step teeth looked as if they were about to fall out.

“Fourth Quarterfinal match – Frozen Cloud Asgard-Xia Qingyue against Xiao-Xiao Kuanglei Sect! The two contestants were expected to enter the Sword Discourse Arena within thirty breaths. Otherwise, it would be considered as giving up! “

After Ling Wugou's loud statement, the various discussions in the Sword Discourse Arena stopped and became a field of silence.

“Although Xia Qingyue's talent of Frozen Cloud Asgard was shocking enough to enter the eighth level of the Spirit Profound at seventeen years old, and was only one level away from Ling Yun in the past, Frozen Cloud Asgard remains Frozen Cloud Asgard. It was impossible for them to fight Ling Yun. He's too young. He is not old or experienced enough. The profound strength to reach the eighth level of the Spirit Profound so quickly must have been extremely unstable. As long as nothing really unexpected happens, you will win this match very easily. But, you still must not underestimate the opponent. In all previous ranking tournaments, it is unknown how many so-called geniuses have fallen by two words ‘ underestimating opponents’. Got it? “Xiao Juetian reminds Xiao Kuanglei.

“Third brother, good luck. The Burning Heaven Clan had suffered a defeat. As long as you win this match, our overall ranking will be a guaranteed minimum of the top three. Moreover, there is more than ninety-nine percent chance that we will be ranked second. This will be the breakthrough of our Xiao Sect! “So Xiao Kuangyu said as he patted Xiao Kuanglei on the shoulder with a serious expression on his face.

“Do not worry. In this match, I will only win, and never lose! Don't forget, I still haven't taken out the Earth Shocking Sword. If I reveal the Earth Shocking Sword, forget about Xia Qingyue at only the eighth level of the Spirit Profound, even if it is someone who is at the peak of the tenth level of the Spirit Profound, it is still impossible for me to lose. “Say Xiao Kuanglei confidently.

“In weaponry, we may not necessarily benefit.” Eyebrow Xiao Wuji sink: “We have Earth Shocking Sword, but don't forget, Frozen Cloud Asgard has ‘Ice Phoenix Snowflower Ribbon’. Shui Wushuang had already given up so in this match, Frozen Cloud Asgard has a bigger reason than us not to lose. This time, Frozen Cloud Asgard would definitely give Xia Qingyue a Sky Profound Weapon. “

“Hmph.You really think too much about it. Must be at least in the Earth Profound to master the ‘Ice Phoenix Snowflower Ribbon’. Even if it was in Xia Qingyue's hands, at most it only displayed thirty percent of her strength. After all, so what if it could really show all of its strength? With the same Sky Profound Weapon, Kuanglei's experience and his profound strength would far surpass Xia Qingyue's expectations. Don't tell me that's not enough to beat him? “Xiao Boyun said happily.

Regarding his own grandson, Xiao Zhen's defeat towards Xiao Kuanglei, Xiao Boyun was naturally annoyed by it. But what was currently happening was related to the reputation and honor of the Xiao Sect. He obviously did not want to see Xiao Kuanglei lose.

“Everyone, relax. If I lose this match, I will not have the face to return to the Xiao Sect. “Xiao Kuanglei nodded once, and then suddenly jumped over a hundred meters into the air before landing gently onto the ground. He leaped over a hundred meters more and then steadily landed at the center of the Sword Discourse Arena. Before landing, a sword had been brought out. No matter the sword aura or the aura of its user, both of them were extremely shocking and breathed a breath of admiration.

“I've heard that Xiao Kuanglei's innate talent is in no way inferior to his eldest brother, Xiao Kuangfeng and second brother Xiao Kuangyu. I'm afraid this match won't be a little stressful. “

“So how about his innate talent is high. Wasn't she born of a concubine? In the future, he had at most become an Elder. “

“Maybe not so. Only Xiao Juetian's youngest son, Xiao Kuangyun was born to his official wife, but everyone was aware of Xiao Kuangyun's playboy tendencies. He was roughly the same age as Xiao Kuanglei and I heard Xiao Juetian had used countless resources on his body, yet it seemed like he was not even able to reach the Spirit Profound. If Xiao Kuangyun inherits the Xiao Sect in the future, I think this will be completely destroyed. The Xiao Sect would never make such a mistake. The future successor to the sect would definitely be one person among Xiao Kuangfeng, Xiao Kuangyu, and Xiao Kuanglei. I was afraid that when that time came, there would once again be another competition in an open and secret way. If not handled properly, they could even commit brother murder .. “

As Xiao Kuanglei stood on the stage, the focus of the discussion was actually not in the battle itself, but Xiao Kuanglei himself. This is because the majority believe that the following match will not be stressful at all.

“Hold your strength as much as possible. Don't reveal it too much, so as not to make tomorrow's opponent wary. “Chu Yueli only has a few words of advice.

“Ya Master.”

Xia Qingyue saluted and turned her delicate body around. As her graceful beautiful figure moved, she lightly landed in front of Xiao Kuanglei. His movements and light body were unparalleled. A completely transparent ice sword quietly appeared in his hand. The ice sword, was basically becoming a weapon as the mark of the Frozen Cloud Asgard Disciple. Frozen Cloud Asgard's main weapon was also a sword, but their swords were made of ice, and all emitted different levels of cold air. Chu Yuechan's sword was like that, and Xia Qingyue's sword was the same as well. Yet the level of Xia Qingyue's ice sword could not compare to the sword that Chu Yuechan had used during the war against the pair of Flood Dragons in the Wasteland of Death.

“Good!” Ling Wuhou nodded, then raised her right hand: “The last match of the quarterfinals, Xia Qingyue of Frozen Cloud Asgard fought Xiao Kuanglei of the Xiao Sect. Match starting! “

“This humble person is Xiao Kuanglei, and is here to ask to experience the Frozen Cloud Art of Xia Fairy!” Xiao Kuanglei smiled widely as his sword pointed forward. He quickly twisted his body, producing a jade green wind. There was the image of an eagle behind his body as the imposing aura all over his body grew stronger at this moment, reaching a level that would make one gasp in awe.

Frozen Cloud Asgard is a collection of beautiful women. Although Xia Qingyue's face was covered by a white veil, just looking at her eyes and the exposed snowy skin was enough to ensure that she was a young woman who possessed an incomparable beauty that could bring the city into ruin. And in front of other beautiful women, men with above average strength had a showy mindset. If he wanted to get the good opinion of others or even his admiration, then that would naturally satisfy his arrogance by a large margin.

Xia Qingyue's movements were much more nimble than her. He easily turned his sword towards her as a majestic ice lotus grew on the tip of the ice sword.
