650: Chapter 650 Exposure

The sudden change caught everyone in the Fighting Arena off guard.

In the spectator stands, countless people marveled at the strength of the two.

They had not expected this Unlimited Fighting Tournament grand final to give them such a huge surprise.

Over the years, it wasn't as if no Domain users had come to participate in the Unlimited Fighting Tournament, but most were only at the First-Layer Domain; one would have to look back hundreds of years for a Second-Layer Domain.

Anyone possessing a Second-Layer Domain was a treasure anywhere, just one step away from touching the Law; how could they possibly come to the Land of Ashes to take risks?

But now?

The two contestants below both possessed Second-Layer Domains. This match was simply too spectacular, a rare sight in a century, and everyone felt the ticket price this year was well worth it.

In Box 2, Lady Vemia was suddenly startled.

She was not only surprised by the strength of the two, but even more shocked by Xi Gu.

"Interesting, I misjudged."

Someone had disguised themselves as a member of the Yao Race, and she hadn't even noticed.

Lady Vemia had been holding the mindset of watching the fun and had not used her Divine Soul to probe the two. Otherwise, she certainly would have discovered the anomaly in Xi Gu. Although Xi Gu could change his Physical Body form, he could not change his Divine Soul, nor could he hide it from an expert of the Undying Realm.

Unless he was like Xiao Weiqing, possessing the soul silence armor.

Just like now.

Lady Vemia discovered that with her own Divine Soul power, she was unexpectedly unable to probe Xiao Weiqing's Divine Soul strength, though she could confirm that Xi Gu was indeed of the Human Race.

"This little guy has a great treasure on him."

Lady Vemia thought to herself.

The Undying Realm experts of the Yao Race and the Mechanical Race in Boxes 1 and 3 came to the same judgment. At this moment, both were watching the Fighting Arena, with a different kind of thought arising in their hearts.

Inside the Fighting Arena, Qi Hao was thoroughly panicked.

He could now confirm that the Qin Weixiao before him was undoubtedly a member of the Holy Land, and since the other party had come to hunt him down, they definitely had certainty.

Qi Hao was not only afraid of Qin Weixiao but, more importantly, trusted the judgment of the Holy Land. Since the Holy Land gave Qin Weixiao this mission, they must have believed that Qin Weixiao could complete it.

He knew his own situation. Back then, due to a moment of greed, he had killed his companion and defected from the Holy Land.

The Holy Land had not issued a warrant for him back then due to certain resistance, but now they had finally sent someone to act.

"Qin Weixiao, I have no intention of being your enemy; how about we stop here?"

"I am not afraid of you. My strength is more than a notch stronger than it was a hundred years ago. This is the Land of Ashes; neither of us will benefit if we keep fighting."

Qi Hao urged.

Xiao Weiqing raised the corner of his mouth. "That is fine, but you must return to the Holy Land with me."

"Impossible."

Qi Hao denied it without a second thought.

He had defected from the Holy Land, and the Holy Land had turned a blind eye for so many years, which was already problematic. Returning now would undoubtedly be slapping the Holy Land in the Face. He would definitely be executed. He had a bright future and had yet to achieve the Undying Realm; how could he possibly return to the Holy Land to seek death now?

"Then there is nothing to talk about."

Xiao Weiqing narrowed his eyes. He did not take Qi Hao's Second-Layer Domain to heart. His strength was now even greater than it had been three years ago; killing Qi Hao was definitely not a problem.

"Wait~!"

Qi Hao was somewhat panicked.

"Qin Weixiao, do you know what crime I committed, and why the Holy Land did not issue a warrant for me?"

Xiao Weiqing frowned; this was indeed a point of confusion for him.

"Holy Land records state that during a certain mission, you killed your companion and defected from the Holy Land."

"As for why you were not wanted, it has nothing to do with me."

Qi Hao said: "I can clearly tell you that the mission back then was essentially infighting among those few people, and I just happened to be the one who survived."

"The Holy Land did not issue a warrant because I am the offspring of a Heavenly Venerate. If you kill me, you will definitely have a hard time in the Holy Land in the future."

Xiao Weiqing was shocked.

"The offspring of a Heavenly Venerate?"

No wonder, no wonder the Holy Land turned a blind eye.

Xiao Weiqing gripped the moon ember and stared at Qi Hao. His thoughts raced as he considered whether or not he should kill Qi Hao.

"No, it is indeed possible that the Holy Land did not issue a warrant for Qi Hao out of respect for the Heavenly Venerate's Face."

However.

How did he get this mission?

The assessment mission of the Seventh Heaven was different from ordinary S-class missions; it had to be done. If he couldn't complete it, he would most likely be unable to enter the Seventh Heaven. This meant the Holy Land wanted him to complete it, or rather, this was a test in itself.

Taking a step back.

Even if it meant offending a certain Heavenly Venerate, he still had to kill Qi Hao. Even his virtual steward could not view his mission, indicating that the mission might indeed have some resistance, but giving up would undoubtedly violate the will of the Holy Land.

Between a Heavenly Venerate and the Holy Land, there was no need to consider how to choose, especially since what Qi Hao said might not even be true.

Thinking of this, Xiao Weiqing no longer hesitated. His figure flashed, and he executed the Galaxy Evasion Technique, instantly appearing beside Qi Hao.

"Slash!"

"What?!"

"Qin Weixiao, you are crazy!"

Qi Hao was greatly alarmed. He had not expected that Qin Weixiao, who had just been in a pensive state, would immediately make a move.

"Bang~"

Qi Hao was sent flying directly. Both were Second-Layer Domains; the lightning power within Qi Hao's Domain had limited damage against Xiao Weiqing.

Xiao Weiqing unleashed his full power, and his speed exploded to the extreme.

"Star-Slaying Fall!"

"Damn it!"

"Do you really think I am afraid of you?!"

Qi Hao was furious; he had not expected Qin Weixiao to be so unappreciative of the situation.

"Heavenly Condemnation Thunder Spear!"

Above the Fighting Arena, a thunder spear with a diameter of a zhang and a length of several hundred meters descended from the sky. Destructive thunder danced around the spear, causing fear in people's hearts.

Rumble~~

The two forces collided, and a massive amount of energy erupted between the two. Even within the Domain, Qi Hao was still severely injured, and his Divine Body was damaged.

"Qin Weixiao, do you really want to fight to the death?"

Qi Hao growled.

"Do you think you are worthy?"

Xiao Weiqing held his blade and walked toward Qi Hao. Over the past hundred years, Qi Hao's strength had indeed improved, but if this was all he had, he was destined not to live past today.

Suddenly, Qi Hao retreated at high speed, retracted his Domain, and shouted, "I concede!"

Just at the moment Qi Hao moved, Xiao Weiqing attacked rapidly, and the moon ember in his hand slashed across half the Fighting Arena toward Qi Hao.

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

At the edge of the Fighting Arena, two figures blocked in front of Qi Hao. A three-eyed demonic Dharma Body with hair standing on end in anger, thick eyebrows, and glaring eyes blocked Xiao Weiqing's strike.

"Kid, didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"

"Are you not showing any respect for our Fighting Arena?"

The other two referees came in front of Xiao Weiqing, stopping him from attacking again.

The four referees all possessed the combat power of a Peak Dominator.

If they forcibly intervened, Xiao Weiqing would really not be able to kill Qi Hao for a while.

"I respect the Fighting Arena very much; I hope you all will step aside and not interfere."

"Hmm?"

"Kid, say it again. You have already won this battle; the match is over!"

One of the referees shouted ruthlessly, his attitude allowing no refusal.

Xiao Weiqing's expression darkened, and his powerful Divine Soul power radiated out. A golden phantom vaguely appeared behind him.

"Step aside, or not?"

The two referees were momentarily distracted by Xiao Weiqing's stare, feeling an inexplicable fear in their hearts. But their duty was such that if they stepped aside today, they wouldn't be able to make a living tomorrow; besides, there were four of them now.

A Star Lord Realm expert—could he really turn the world upside down?
