Legend of the Monster
Chapters 223. The Defeat of Princess Qing Ruan
The fight between Ling Tian and Princess Qing Ruan gave rise to several different opinions from everyone who was at the venue of the competition event.
For cultivators who had slightly lower cultivation levels like the competition participants, they would say that Ling Tian was in a desperate situation, after all, so that he could only continue dodging without being able to give a counterattack to Princess Qing Ruan.
As for the high-level cultivators, they thought that it was Princess Qing Ruan who was currently unable to injure Ling Tian's body despite having used her full strength.
"Haha ... Look at that young man called Ling Tian! He did not have the slightest loophole to avenge the attack from Princess Qing Ruan."
"Deedies! From the beginning he only had a big mouth to challenge the Princess. I was very sure that soon he would suffer from being hit by an attack from the Princess who was so fierce and deadly."
"I still hope that the Princess will smash the young man's face into a b4bi head until his own parents can't recognize him."
All the grievances and curses against Ling Tian were thrown out by the participants of the competition. But it was different from high-level cultivators. They continued to look at the fight intently.
On top of the platform, Emperor Qing furrowed his brows deeply as he watched the fight between Princess Qing Ruan and Ling Tian.
"Hmmm ... What say?" asked Emperor Qing for an opinion on the old man standing behind him.
"It looks like the Princess won't be able to hurt that young man named Ling Tian, Your Majesty!" replied the old man.
"Hmmm ... I also thought that way," Emperor Qing replied as he continued to watch the fight that was taking place within the arena.
The extremely powerful attack from Princess Qing Ruan led right to the vital points on Ling Tian's body. However, the result remains the same. He could not touch even a hint of Ling Tian's clothes.
While Ling Tian was alone, he continued to smile pettyly while dodging all the attacks that came towards him, which made Princess Qing Ruan become even more annoyed.
"Are you tired, Princess? If not, let's continue this fight!" asked Ling Tian slowly.
"Hmmm!" Princess Qing Ruan simply answered him with a cold snort and continued to attack Ling Tian without loosening even the slightest bit of her attack.
Hearing Ling Tian's words, the competition's participants increasingly showered him with insults.
"Ciihi! The young man named Ling Tian still continued to pretend that it was as if he was the one who kept letting the Princess attack him. In fact, he himself is in a state of urgency so that he is unable to give a counterattack to the Princess."
"Deedies! If it was me, it might have been from the beginning to beat this Ling Tian up until he could not get out of his bed for months."
"Reph ... I so suddenly wanted to trample on Ling Tian's thick face."
"Based on stupid people! You should be grateful for the presence of that young man Ling Tian. Try to watch carefully! The Qi energy of the Princess is getting less and less. The next fight would definitely be the Princess would completely run out of her Qi energy."
Inside the fighting arena, the strength as well as the attack speed of Princess Qing Ruan gradually seemed to slow down. Even now his sword slashes and stabs are no longer well directed. A little sweat was seen flowing on his face to wet his veil.
"It's time!" muttered Ling Tian inwardly, then said to Princess Qing Ruan, "Sorry, Princess!"
After saying that, Ling Tian moved forward dodging all the attacks crashing towards him. Then he immediately extended his arm and unleashed a palm strike onto Princess Qing Ruan's chest.
Princess Qing Yuan's body immediately bounced backwards, then fell to the ground half-kneeling and looked hard to get back up.
"What?! How could the Princess get hit by this Ling Tian?"
"Bhh ... Try you guys to watch! It seems like the Princess looks hard to stand back."
"Will the Princess lose?"
"Well! This is impossible!"
The atmosphere in the competition area became boisterous with various kinds of comments made by the people who were there.
To everyone who witnessed the fight, Ling Tian's attack looked quick and powerful to the point of bouncing Princess Qing Ruan away. But the truth was, when his palm strike was about to touch Princess Qing Yuan's chest, Ling Tian immediately dissipated her strength and just pushed her away.
After which, Ling Tian immediately locked onto Princess Qing Ruan's movements using her Qi energy and pushed her down with a half-kneeling state.
"Acity ... Ma-sorry ... Sorry, Princess! I was completely unintentional," Ling Tian stammered.
Princess Qing Ruan's body could not move as it was locked by Ling Tian's Qi energy. However, his eyes glared sharply at Ling Tian with great anger. Because, Ling Tian's palm had actually touched one of the two twin mountains on his chest.
Seeing the state of Princess Qing Ruan who was half-kneeling on the ground and looked hard to stand up, she said, the middle-aged man who had previously opened the competition event immediately eliminated the Protective Formation and went straight into the fighting arena.
He stood in the middle between Ling Tian and Princess Qing Ruan. Then he said, "I'll start counting to ten. If Princess Qing Ruan had not risen yet, it was a sign that Princess Qing Ruan had lost and was declared defeated in this fight."
"One ... Two ... Three ...."
Every count of the middle-aged man made the hearts of the competition participants beat like the sound of a drum being hit inside their bodies.
Because, they all hoped that Princess Qing Ruan would immediately get back up and beat Ling Tian to defeat. Then, those who would seize the opportunity defeated Princess Qing Ruan when her Qi energy had completely been depleted.
"Nine ... It's ten! I announce that the winner of this competition event is Ling Tian" said the middle-aged man with a slight use of Qi energy in his voice.
However, their hopes had completely vanished and perished. Because up to the tenth count, Princess Qing Ruan was no longer able to stand back up.
"ah! This ... This can't be, can it?!" asked a competition participant to the young man beside him, as if he could not believe what had happened in front of them.
"Try you to ask someone else because I don't believe what I'm seeing right now either" the young man replied without turning his eyes away from the fighting arena.
"Well! The Princess has lost? The number one genius in the Sky Intersection Continent had actually lost? It's impossible! This is impossible!"
"Look at that! This young man named Ling Tian was only around 22-23 years old, but he had defeated the number one genius in the Sky Crossing Continent."
The atmosphere around the competition area was getting frenzied with various comments and responses from everyone who was in the venue.
Emperor Qing himself was even in a dilemma. His face seemed to change between happy and sad. On one hand he was happy to get a genius and powerful son-in-law. On the other hand he was sad because his daughter who was the number one genius in the Sky Crossing Continent, had lost.
Ling Tian's face smiled wryly when he heard the various comments and responses from everyone, about the outcome of his fight with Princess Qing Ruan.
In order to keep the pride of Princess Qing Ruan who was a Princess of the Qing Empire and also a number one genius in the Sky Intersection Continent from falling, it did not fall, Ling Tian quickly used his Qi energy to push his sweat out on his face. Then he said while pretending to sigh in relief while wiping his sweat, "Fiiuuhh ... I'm really really lucky. If only the Qi energy of the Princess hadn't decreased drastically due to having fought with so many people, I might have been rendered unconscious on the floor of this arena by this time."
After saying so, Ling Tian immediately erased his Qi energy which had locked onto the movement of Princess Qing Ruan.
