Chapter 55: Yao Race Internal Strife, Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden Enters Battle!

Then, the Nine Yang Saint slowly ascended the arena, immediately greeted by cheers from countless Cultivators in Di Ling City.

“The Nine Yang Saint is truly formidable! He defeated the Giant Eagle Clan’s Saint, bolstering the might of our Human Race!”

“I told you, that Giant Eagle Clan’s Saint, Eagle Tianxiao, was no match for the Nine Yang Saint. If not for the Giant Eagle Clan’s strong experts intervening, that Eagle Tianxiao would have already perished.”

“Haha, will these Yao Race Prodigies still be arrogant now? They’ve already lost one match.”

“Seeing these Yao Race experts eat dirt is just one word: satisfying!”

“We won this match, so the subsequent contests are stable.”

“Indeed, what I was most worried about was the Nine Yang Saint’s match. Afterwards, the Cloud Heaven Holy Son and Prince Qin will very likely have no opponents. As for the other two, they might lose, but we can’t blame them. They are facing absolute Prodigies and Geniuses from the Yao Race Royal Family, so losing is quite normal.”

“Don’t underestimate the Tianyun Sect’s Prodigy, Gao Xiaoliang, and the Song Family’s Prodigy, Song Que. Both of them are renowned Prodigies and Geniuses, and their strength is far from weak!”

“If that’s the case, then Prince Qin and the Cloud Heaven Holy Son’s pressure will be much less.”

With the Nine Yang Saint’s victory, the Human Race became agitated, already seeing the scales of victory tipping in their favor.

Because in their view, as long as the Nine Yang Saint could win, Qin Tianming and Fang Chen were guaranteed to win their subsequent matches.

They believed that these Yao Race Saints were also no match for the two of them.

Compared to the Human Race’s excitement and elation, the Yao Race side looked as if they had eaten excrement, their expressions extremely grim.

It wasn’t that they had no chance of winning, but rather that a seemingly guaranteed victory had ended in defeat, leaving them somewhat dejected.

“That useless Eagle Tianxiao, he only has this much strength, instantly killed by the Nine Yang Saint’s single move.”

Xue Jinglun snorted coldly, his Face full of mockery.

He had always been at odds with Eagle Tianxiao, so he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity to ridicule him.

Of course, it was also because Eagle Tianxiao was disappointing.

Even if their relationship with Eagle Tianxiao was not good, when facing the Human Race, they still shared a common hatred and hoped to win this match.

“Actually, it’s not Eagle Tianxiao’s fault. The Nine Yang Saint is, after all, a Saint from a Holy Land, no worse than us. It’s normal for him to win.”

The Tiger Clan Holy Son, Huqiu Bai, spoke.

He, on the contrary, saw things very clearly. The main reason was that their identities and statuses were not much different, and their strengths were also comparable. Anyone could win or lose, so it was normal for Eagle Tianxiao to lose.

It was just that everyone initially favored Eagle Tianxiao more.

“That’s also because Eagle Tianxiao is useless. If it were me, I would definitely win!”

Xue Jinglun sneered.

Although the Snow Clan is not an Ancient Yao Race Royal Family, they are descendants of the Dragon Clan, with the Dragon Clan as their backing, almost no different from an Ancient Royal Clan.

They even disregard the Face of those Ancient Royal Families.

“Shut up.”

Huqiu Bai snorted coldly.

A powerful Aura emanated, directly pressing down on Xue Jinglun.

This guy was annoying, his mouth was similar to the Nine Yang Saint’s, but the Nine Yang Saint was against outsiders, while this guy was against his own people.

Could this guy have been sent by the other side to mess with their morale?

“You…”

Xue Jinglun’s Face turned ugly. He was about to say something, but he held back.

“Bastard, if you dare to utter another word, I’ll kill you today!”

“Don’t try to pressure me with the Dragon Clan. Others might fear the Dragon Clan, but I, Huqiu Bai, do not!”

Huqiu Bai said impatiently.

The Tiger Clan is one of the few Ancient Yao Race clans that do not fear the Dragon Clan. Even if their strength is not as good as the Dragon Clan’s, the difference is not significant.

Moreover, the Tiger Clan is inherently warlike and does not fear the Dragon Clan at all, which leads the Dragon Clan to also give the Tiger Clan some Face.

Seeing this, Xue Jinglun had no choice but to shut his mouth.

He wasn't foolish; he knew that Huqiu Bai was a man of his word. If he spoke another word, this guy would really dare to make a move.

Even if he killed him, the Dragon Clan wouldn't say much.

After all, their Snow Clan was only a descendant of the Dragon Clan and did not possess pure Dragon Bloodline.

“Foolish fellow!”

The Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden snorted coldly.

She had long disliked this Xue Jinglun. He had no strength yet flaunted the glory of the Dragon Clan in front of them.

Such a guy absolutely needed to be taught a lesson.

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden like this, Xue Jinglun was greatly angered, but he dared not retort, because the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden was an existence he could not afford to provoke.

The Nine Yang Saint returned to the Human Race side and sat down to rest.

Seeing this, the Tianyun Sect’s Prodigy, Gao Xiaoliang, stood up: “For the second match, let me go.”

Now that the first match was over, the second one naturally had to begin.

Since Fang Chen and Qin Tianming were present, they didn’t plan any strategies. Otherwise, if Qin Tianming went in the second round and Fang Chen in the third, the Ancient Yao Race would have no chance to play and would directly be declared defeated.

Fang Chen was indifferent; he could win against anyone. And Qin Tianming was also an extremely proud person; he naturally wouldn’t go out in the second round.

Because he felt that in the second round, the Yao Race side should send out Xue Jinglun, and he didn't put Xue Jinglun in his eyes at all.

If he were to make a move, it should be against Prodigies like the Tiger Clan Holy Son, Huqiu Bai, and the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden; only then would it be worthy of his status.

“Then you need to be careful. Perhaps the other side will send out a stronger Prodigy to ensure victory in the second round.”

Fang Chen reminded him.

Although these people had nothing to do with them, as temporary teammates, Fang Chen felt it was necessary to give a reminder.

“Okay, thank you.”

The Tianyun Sect Prodigy, Gao Xiaoliang, responded and then went to the arena.

On the Yao Race side, however, it was the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden who stepped out.

The reason it was the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden was that the Yao Race wanted to win this match to boost their morale.

Besides that, they thought the Human Race would press their advantage and send out Fang Chen or Qin Tianming.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Fang Chen and Qin Tianming did not step out.

One reason was that both were relatively proud and disdained doing so.

Another reason was that Gao Xiaoliang and Song Que wanted to participate. They had already prepared for defeat; even knowing they might lose, they wanted to go down and experience it, to understand the gap between themselves and these Yao Race Saints.

They naturally wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

“How could it be you?”

When the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden saw Gao Xiaoliang, she couldn’t help but frown.

Clearly, she was extremely displeased with Gao Xiaoliang’s participation; she had expected either Qin Tianming or Fang Chen.

“My intervention is completely sufficient. If I can defeat you, they won’t need to make a move.”

Although Gao Xiaoliang knew he was no match for the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden, his Aura absolutely could not be weak.

Moreover, he was very confident in his own strength, feeling that he might not necessarily be inferior to the Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden.

“I’m telling you, you’re looking for death!”

The Vermilion Bird Holy Maiden snorted coldly. The next moment, flames erupted all over her body, and her eyes seemed to burn with fire.

Then, she formed hand seals, and a terrifying flame directly shot towards Gao Xiaoliang.

“Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!”
