‘That man.. I felt the science of the Heretical God in that human body.’ The Spirit of the Black One stared intently at Gao Zhimao. Then he turned his gaze to pay attention to Jing Yang who was worried about Qiao Xi.
‘Introve. It seems like it's time for me to get inside your body, my human partner, Jing Yang.’.
Jing Yang widened his eyes to see the Spirit of the Black Darting his forehead. Slowly the body of the Black Spirit disappeared.
‘Listen to me. Stop that match. Otherwise your new friend will be killed. And listen to what I say..’ The voice of the Black Spirit was clearly heard in Jing Yang's ears. The Black Spirit explained to Jing Yang that Gao Zhimao's figure was hiding his power. Even the Black Spirit guessed, Gao Zhimao's strength had reached the earth warrior stage of even the celestial swordsman.
“Understanding, Master!” Jing Yang stood up from the audience bench and jumped down while releasing a red aura.
“Brother Jing Yang!” Mei Hua frantically saw Jing Yang intending to stop the match.
Gao Zhimao released a murderous aura in large numbers. When Ye Long intended to stop the match, his body could not be moved because it was bound to the aura thread of Gao Zhimao.
“Stop! Who are you exactly?!” Ye Long shouted. The aura thread was detached. Everyone was confused by Ye Long's actions.
Gao Zhimao did not listen to Ye Long's words. His hand swung out a sword slash that was coated in a pitch-black aura. When the sword almost hit Qiao Xi's head, Gao Zhimao's hand came to a halt as Jing Yang drew his sword.
“Cannot be! The boy!” Zhu Huazhi got up from his seat and looked at Jing Yang.
“Interesting..” Wang Zhi smiled faintly. “But not yet.”
Jing Yang stared coldly at Gao Zhimao. “Stop! You intend to kill him! If you want to kill my friend! Go ahead! I will be happy to serve you!” Jing Yang landed a gravitational strike that left the entire arena of the ground stage match shattered.
Ye Long was quickly in the middle of those two participants. He immediately stared intently at Gao Zhimao. “You disqualified—”
“Wait, Dragon Science Elder! It's clear my son is the winner! Everyone in the stadium had clearly seen his strength! Don't violate the rules!” Wang Zhi stood up from the bench and smiled faintly.
“You—” Ye Long glared sharply at Wang Zhi full of anger. He realized Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi had been too pampered by Sheng Long since childhood. Even Sheng Long did not pay too much attention to him.
“Saudari Qiao Xi's. If you hate me for stopping your match. Then hate me. It's better than losing you..." Jing Yang pulled Qiao Xi's hand and looked at the frightened girl.
Upon seeing Gao Zhimao suppress his aura. Jing Yang directly carried Qiao Xi's body towards the audience bench. In the stadium the noise was getting echoed.
“Grandpa! I think Wang Zhi and Zhu Huazhi are hiding something from you! Your love for them will kill you!” Ye Long could not bear Sheng Long's attitude.
“Dear to speak, Brother Ye Long!” Zhu Huazhi snapped at Ye Long's words.
“Continue the match, Ye Long! I want to see for myself who deserves to be the Young Dragon Elder!” Sheng Long opened his eyes looking intently at Gao Zhimao who was suppressing his aura.
“Winner Gao Zhimao of the Nine Dragons Palace!” Ye Long was unable to speak much. Then he called out the next two participants' names.
“Next Jing Yang and Yan Shangxuan! For the two players I called! Please go forward!” Ye Long reshaped the ground stage using his body aura.
Jing Yang instantly moved at high speed to the ground stage. He was waiting for the arrival of Yan Shangxuan who had just stood up from the spectator bench.
When Yan Shangxuan stood in front of him. Jing Yang closed his eyes and worked his breathing to calm himself down.
Yan Shangxuan smiled smirked. “I'll teach you a handicap lesson!” Yan Shangxuan did not hide his killing appetite in the slightest. With great speed he instantly attacked Jing Yang.
Jing Yang's breathing was so calm. The rules of the Nine Dragons Palace match are that it is not allowed to kill other participants except in the semi-finals and finals. When participants enter the round of four, then both participants are allowed to kill if the opponent does not want to give up.
Jing Yang drew his sword and used the gravitational force of the Gravity Sword, Yue Wang. Yan Shangxuan's right hand was broken. The sound of crumbling bones rang out, instantly Yan Shangxuan's body was squeezed to the ground until his mouth let out quite a lot of fresh blood.
The gravitational pressure from Jing Yang's sword left everyone fixed on him. Jing Yang Sword was not an indiscriminate sword. They all realize that.
All the spectators were speechless at Jing Yang's ability. Especially the sword that the young man used. On the row of the spectator bench of the Single Sword Mountain was seen a middle-aged man descending onto the ground stage and directly attacking Jing Yang.
“How dare you break my son's hand!” The head of the Single Sword Mountain named Yan Kang attacked Jing Yang.
“Stop!” Ye Long held back Yan Kang's sword slash with his sword. “Do not smear this fight!”
Yan Kang sheathed his sword and looked at Jing Yang coldly. “Wait for my revenge! You will die when you get out of this territory! I'll blind you to that one eye!”
Jing Yang released the Dragon King Aura and returned using the power of gravity. Then looked coldly at Yan Kang and Yan Shangxuan. “Listen well to my words! Want you to insult me or call me with a disabled child! I don't care at all about any of that!” Jing Yang approached Yan Kang and Yan Shangxuan.
“But, whatever the reason, I will never forgive anyone who has humiliated or even insulted my friend!”
Finished Jing Yang suppressed his aura. Yan Kang's face grew even more wrathful, while Yan Shangxuan grimaced in pain and dared not look at Jing Yang.
Jing Yang returned to the audience bench along with Yan Kang carrying Yan Shangxuan's body.
Everyone was shocked to hear Jing Yang's words. However Jing Yang did not care about all of them. While sitting next to Mei Hua and Qiao Xi. He tried to be calm, but the giggling sound of the Black Spirit echoed clearly in his ears.
“I could have killed him. But I have absolutely no interest in Yan Shangxuan. Right now I just want to see for myself the identity of Gao Zhimao..” Jing Yang muttered softly and closed his eyes.
“Brother Jing Yang. Thanks though. I... i..” Qiao Xi wiped his tears and hugged Jing Yang's body.
Jing Yang's anger instantly muffled because of the confusion of what to behave like. He himself was surprised to see Qiao Xi was not angry at him. When he first saw this girl in the Peach Flower Palace, Jing Yang still vividly remembered that Qiao Xi had been cold and kept his distance from her. But now Qiao Xi was different.
“Qiao Xi! You saw a lot of people!” Mei Hua pinched Qiao Xi's thigh. Until the young girl screamed.
Qiao Xi immediately took off his embrace and covered his face with both palms.
Jing Yang listened to the story of the Black Spirit about love. He realized that Qiao Xi had feelings for him. But it was a pity, Jing Yang only considered Qiao Xi to be just a friend.
The top four will be held soon. Ye Long was still the referee of the match. However this time it was seen that only Wang Zhi was standing beside Sheng Long. Zhu Huazhi stood outside the ground stage to watch.
Only Sheng Long was in the golden seat. While it was visible in the four cardinal directions, Feng Long, Huo Long, Shui Long and Tian Long were flying up in the air watching the match.
Wang Zhi faintly smiled at Ye Long before the man started the opening to open the last four of the Nine Dragons Tournament.
“Alright, let's start this round of four with the opening match between Gao Zhimao against Ma Xinxuan!”
