378: Chapter 378 I'd risk my life for you, sword, come!

Chapter 378: Risking Life to Accompany a Gentleman, Sword Come!!

"Brother Li, I'm number four. This is great; it seems we didn't end up as opponents."

Sikong Ying drew number four and was immediately overjoyed.

He had no fear of facing any of the other eight people, but if he had to face his own brother, he would have been somewhat worried.

"Fellow Daoist Li, it seems the first match will be a spar between us."

Huang Feng suddenly walked over and waved the token in his hand, which was also number one.

Seeing this, Mo Tianxiao quickly cupped his hands and smiled, "Then I must ask Fellow Daoist Huang to show some mercy."

Huang Feng laughed heartily and said, "Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Li? This Huang's cultivation is merely a level higher than yours, but in a real fight, I might not be your match. If anyone should show mercy, it's you. This is just a spar, so please don't spend any more money."

"Eh, that's not quite right..."

"Stop the nonsense and start already."

Mo Tianxiao still wanted to exchange more pleasantries to lower his opponent's guard, but Ancestor Xi Yan couldn't stand their hypocrisy. With a casual wave of her hand, their figures appeared within the Starry Sky Battlefield.

"Uh..."

Both of their faces were a bit awkward. Mo Tianxiao whispered, "My Grandmaster's personality is quite fickle, I hope Fellow Daoist Huang won't take offense."

Huang Feng quickly shook his head, "How could I!"

Although he was a favored son of heaven, he didn't have the courage to get angry in front of a Law Realm powerhouse.

"Ahem, since you two are ready, let the first match begin. The winner will proceed directly into the top five."

Valley Master Huang coughed twice and announced the official start of the first match of the Ranking Tournament.

Instantly, the surrounding Cultivators began to shout loudly, "Fellow Daoist Huang! Good luck! Let Li the Dog Thief know how powerful you are!"

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I have high hopes for you. Whatever you do, don't go easy and let Li the Dog Thief enter the top five!"

"Fellow Daoist Huang! My entire net worth is bet on you!"

The voices supporting Huang Feng instantly resounded through the starry sky, and any voices from the Hehuan Sect trying to defend Mo Tianxiao were drowned out before they could even be heard.

Bai Luoshui said with a smile, her tone teasing, "This Rebellious Disciple is quite hated."

On the high platform, several Sect leaders also had smiles on their faces, each laughing without saying a word. This made Ancestor Xi Yan want to find a hole to crawl into even more. If there was another such grand event next time, she wouldn't bring this shameless rebellious grandson along no matter what.

"Brother Li, good luck! I believe in you!"

Among the many Cultivators present, besides the Hehuan Sect Disciples, only Sikong Ying shouted to cheer for Mo Tianxiao.

In the Starry Sky Battlefield, Mo Tianxiao and Huang Feng stood far apart, their gazes fixed on each other.

"Fellow Daoist Li, here I come."

Huang Feng cupped his hands, and an endless amount of yin-cold Qi suddenly erupted from his body. In the next instant, dense crowds of Yin Souls emerged from within him like a black tide. The Yin Souls, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, covered half the battlefield as they surged toward Mo Tianxiao.

"Good! That's it, Fellow Daoist Huang! Don't give Li the Dog Thief a single chance!"

Seeing the scalp-numbing, dense mass of Yin Souls appearing, the many Cultivators were excited to the extreme, each wishing Mo Tianxiao would be swarmed and attacked by the Yin Souls in the next second!

Mo Tianxiao shouted, "Good timing!"

With a wave of his hand, the righteous human emperor banner appeared in his grasp. "Brothers! We can't lose in terms of Aura!"

Boom!!

The human emperor banner released a massive cloud of black mist, and an army of ten million Yin Souls likewise appeared!

"Jie jie jie jie! We are all Yin Souls, what is there to fear! Brothers, charge!!"

As the terrifying Yin Soul armies clashed, Mo Tianxiao quickly commanded, "Brothers! Form the Soul Refining Grand Array! We cannot fight this head-on; winning by wit is the best strategy!"

"Don't panic, leave this battle to this old man!"

Elder Yun spoke up, his mind connected with the many Yin Souls. Instantly, groups of thirty to fifty thousand Yin Souls formed small Soul Refining Grand Arrays to refine the enemies one by one.

Having stayed in the human emperor banner for so long and being by Mo Tianxiao's side year-round, Elder Yun had learned many Formations and understood the art of leading troops quite well. Defeating the many with the few, and the strong with the weak, was not impossible!

"I see that while the enemy Yin Souls are strong, they are reckless and disorganized without much intelligence. As long as we coordinate well, we will surely consume them!"

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao's face lit up with joy, "With Elder Yun's words, I am at ease!"

"What!? Li the Dog Thief actually has the same Move!?"

"Li the Dog Thief really is no good, to think he actually refined such an atrocious Magic Treasure like a ten million soul banner!"

"Has everyone not noticed? Although Li the Dog Thief's Yin Souls are weaker than Fellow Daoist Huang's, they are actually holding their own. Is this reasonable?"

"When this dog thief cruelly refined those Divine Souls, he actually didn't erase the original owners' consciousness! He preserved their original intelligence; no wonder their coordination is so exquisite. But, refining a soul banner, the biggest taboo is preserving the original intelligence. Is he not afraid that one day the banner won't be able to restrict the Yin Souls, and they will backfire, harming both others and himself?"

"Look at Li the Dog Thief's behavior—ruthless and despicable. How could he be afraid of such things?"

"I don't care about any backfire. I just want to know if he can lose this match!"

"Don't worry. Besides this method, Fellow Daoist Huang Feng is himself a favored son of heaven, and his cultivation far exceeds Li the Dog Thief's. I dare to assert that Li the Dog Thief will definitely lose!"

In the battlefield, Huang Feng was also shocked to see Mo Tianxiao could refine a Magic Treasure like a ten million soul banner.

"It seems I cannot underestimate Fellow Daoist Li."

"Fellow Daoist Li, take this!"

Huang Feng's gaze sharpened, and his figure blurred as he suddenly appeared before Mo Tianxiao, throwing a punch condensed with infinite yin-cold power.

The speed of the Mid-level Sovereign Realm was far beyond what Mo Tianxiao could compare to at this time.

Without using the Flying Boat for assistance, Mo Tianxiao didn't even have time to react before the opponent was already in front of him, slamming a punch into his chest.

Boom!!

The armor on his body glowed brightly, automatically protecting its master and blocking that violent punch, while Mo Tianxiao was sent flying back by the counter-shock force.

"Well hit!! Thrash him like that!"

"Quick! Pursue and beat him hard!"

The many Cultivators outside shouted loudly. Huang Feng clenched his fists, and his figure turned into a streak of light as he continued the pursuit.

"Ahem! Good punch!"

Mo Tianxiao stabilized his figure and coughed twice, feeling the blood and Qi churning in his body. If he hadn't equipped the armor in advance, that punch would have cost him his life.

"This little brother can only risk his life to play along with Fellow Daoist Huang."

Mo Tianxiao's hands formed hand seals as he shouted, "Sword come!"

Swish swish swish...!!

One Flying Sword after another shot out from his Dantian, all of them like arrows from a bowstring, blasting toward the incoming Huang Feng.

Huang Feng stopped his advance and struck out with one hand, sending a dark giant palm print to block the attack of the Flying Swords.

However, in just a moment, he sensed something was wrong. Every single Flying Sword was actually an ordinary-grade earth law supreme treasure!

Huang Feng raised his other hand, quickly blocking his chest as terrifying energy formed a protective shield to guard his body.

Clang clang clang clang...!!!

All one hundred and eight Flying Swords were unleashed, and Huang Feng's figure was forced back violently.

His hands trembled slightly, and his gaze was incredibly solemn. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ninety-two ordinary earth law supreme treasure Flying Swords, and sixteen high-grade dharma supreme treasure Flying Swords! As expected of Li the Dog Thief!"
