Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 174

When Mu Wan and Yan Chutian did not appear, Zhu Yun could not help but look puzzledly at the elders of the Southern Region. However, even Han Chen did not know the reason. On the surface, they seem to have a teacher-student relationship, but only he knows that their relationship is just a transaction.

Seeing the two people from the Southern Region not appearing, the Northern Region camp inevitably took the opportunity to mock them. Even the five Chosen ones looked at them with ridiculing gazes.

According to them, the reason why they did not appear was because of fear of battle. After all, the five of them were as strong as the five people who were eliminated yesterday.

Some commotion broke out towards the Southern Region disciples. However, perhaps due to the result of his second fight yesterday, these voices became extremely soft. However, as time passed, the commotion involuntarily became increasingly violent. Only at a certain moment when the two came, the commotion was cut off.

"Deputy Sect Leader, Elder, I was delayed by some things and postponed the event. I'm really sorry!"

As soon as he appeared, Yan Chutian gracefully bowed to everyone. Hearing this, the elders of the Northern Region sneered, but they could not say much. After all, the actual person in charge was still Zhu Yun.

Although Zhu Yun did not understand why Yan Chutian and Mu Wan were late, he did not say much. He immediately nodded lightly and gestured for the two to enter the Southern Region Chosen camp.

As soon as they entered, Xu Jian's sarcastic words sounded. Because it was too late, Yan Chutian could not say much and could only ignore it. However, to Yan Chutian's surprise, the black-robed man, Shen Kong, who seemed to have a good relationship with Luo Xue, suddenly turned his head and said indifferently.

"Your aura is very unstable now. I thought you were supposed to try to break through last night."

"It's good to break through, but it's not stable for you to deal with the people from the Northern Region in your current condition."

Yan Chutian turned his head and saw a faint smile on Shen Kong's face. His tone and expression did not contain the slightest hint of ridicule. Hence, Yan Chutian could only lightly nod his head and continue, "Thank you very much for Senior Brother Shen's concern.

"Since you entered the Southern Region, you have created many surprises."

Before Shen Kong's voice fell, Xu Jian's mocking laughter suddenly rang out, "What legend, this is just a small matter, the children's trick."

"Today, I want to see what you can do with those people."

Yan Chutian directly ignored Xu Jian and nodded towards Shen Kong. He then stood beside Mu Wan and waited for his number to be drawn.

For the second round, Tianji had to draw a new number.

After a series of actions, Yan Chutian looked at the number five in his hand and could not help but smile. Being the last one to fight on stage gave him more time to prepare.

However, Yan Chutian secretly laughed. Little did he know that when the light pillar of the light ball in his hand was raised and connected with the other light pillars, many Northern Region disciples revealed strange smiles to him.

"Haha ... He was really facing Shilong. The strength of Holy Son Shilong was enough to rank in the top three among the remaining five Holy Sons. The luck of this Southern Region's Holy Son is really not very good'."

"Tsk tsk, defeating Jin Lan yesterday should have been the limit, but Jin Lan had already fought with Shilong before, and each time, it ended in failure."

"Huh! What is the legend of the Southern Region? Today, it will end up in the hands of my Northern Region Holy Son!"

"..."

Yan Chutian finally looked towards the light pillar. When he caught a glimpse of that foreign face, even though he did not know his identity, he could vaguely guess that the status and strength of this person was not small among the Northern Region's Holy Sons. Otherwise, the disciples from the Northern Region would not be so happy.

However, if they thought this could defeat Yan Chutian, they were underestimating him too much. Along the way, when had he not faced a powerful enemy that he could not defeat? But what's the end result?

Since this was the fifth fight, Yan Chutian did not need to rush up onto the stage. He actually sat cross-legged on the spot and closed his eyes, completely ignoring the others.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of many people. Even Xu Jian, who was about to enter the stage, did not attract as much attention as Yan Chutian. This made him secretly angry. How could this guy be so good at stealing attention!

However, even though he was angry, Xu Jian did not show it. It was not appropriate for him as a Holy Son. Moreover, if he could defeat the Holy Son of the Northern Region, he would naturally take the limelight of the crowd again and show off his strength as the Holy Son.

Why should he be angry or .. envious because of this kind of sensational behavior?

Although the woman's clothes clearly covered her entire body, she gave off an extremely seductive feeling. It was as if the person standing in front of the crowd was a weak girl who did not wear anything to cover her body.

"Disgusting illusion technique!"

Sitting cross-legged beside Yan Chutian, who closed his eyes, Mu Wan frowned. He hated shameless women the most like this. Although she was clearly wearing clothes, what she showed other men was a seductive appearance.

For example, Mu Wan, Luo Xue, Loring, and a few other women were disgusted by this. However, while the women were like this, the male disciples were not like this. Some of the male disciples were already feeling hot all over their bodies, and their impulses could no longer be suppressed.

Even Xu Jian felt a little fascinated at this moment. It was as if what appeared in front of him was the delicate and flawless body of a young girl, waiting for her to comfort him carefully.

However, Xu Jian was not an ordinary male disciple. Since he was capable of becoming a Saint, and one of the top Saints, he naturally had something extraordinary about him.

"Hmph, unimportant skill, not worth mentioning!"

Xu Jian gave a cold snort, and a huge black sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He slashed down with a sword, carrying a screen of black light, and headed straight for the beautiful woman.

"Ctsk, tsk ... Do you really want to crush flowers so cruelly?"

The beautiful woman was almost panting. However, this was clearly just his disguise, and his original attitude was clear. Her pretty face was solemn, and as she waved her jade-like hand, a streak of white light shot out. This seemingly weak light was like fine iron, and showed no signs of weakness when it collided with Xu Jian's black sword.

Clang, clang…!

The sound of metal clashing continued to spread, and the two people who were fighting had already split up, each standing to one side.

"Heh heh ... As expected, it was all a clumsy illusion that was not worth mentioning!"

Xu Jian sneered again. Hearing this, the beautiful woman sneered, then smiled charmingly, but her tone was cold. "Oh, so?"

Before the beautiful woman finished her sentence, purple lines began to spread rapidly in her beautiful eyes. In a few moments, they condensed into the shape of a demon fox, and then projected between heaven and earth.

This beautiful woman had actually used the power of spirit inscriptions directly!

However, how could Xu Jian be afraid of the power of spirit inscriptions? It was not that he had not condensed spirit runes before!

… ….

The battle between the two continues. Many disciples watched this fierce battle intently, afraid that they would miss it in the slightest. However, during this process, Mu Wan did not pay attention to him. He only noticed Yan Chutian's state from beginning to end.

He knew what Yan Chutian was doing. Trying to break through is difficult, and the process cannot be interrupted. Otherwise, the breakthrough would have failed, and in the worst case, perhaps he would have been seriously injured.

Therefore, he had to do his best to protect Yan Chutian from being bullied. Even if no one dared to move in front of everyone, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Yan Chutian's mind was calm, and his mind was silent in the depths of his dantian, constantly directing his majestic spiritual power towards the point of breakthrough.

However, as the saying went, breaking through was not easy, not to mention Yan Chutian's cultivation had yet to reach the peak of first-rate potions, and was only at the upper intermediate level.

After brewing for a while, the first battle in the arena finally ended. The results of this first battle disappointed many disciples in the Southern Region. Xu Jian, who had always been strong, was finally defeated by the beautiful woman.

This result was clearly not expected by Xu Jian himself. When he vomited blood and retreated, his originally cold and confident face trembled violently. How could he accept that he had actually fallen at this step?

However, whether he could accept it or not, the fact was the fact. The beautiful Holy Son of the Northern Region had locked him away with a few flashes of cold light. As long as he dared to make a move, he would face death.
