71: Chapter 71 We Won

"By the way, how did Xiang Tian manage to raise his cultivation to the second layer of the Martial King Realm?"

Ouyang Yunze swept his gaze across the group of captains, his face full of suspicion.

Ouyang Yunshan and the others also looked at each other, their eyes equally filled with confusion.

Such an advancement in cultivation was truly too inconceivable.

"That, we would have to ask the man himself." Someone sighed softly.

No one could solve this puzzle.

Ouyang Miaomiao had not said a word the entire time.

Her Phoenix eyes, however, were locked tightly onto Xiang Tian in the arena.

Hidden within her eyes surged an undisguised satisfaction.

This was the ideal man she had been seeking in her heart.

He possessed both world-shaking talent and overwhelming strength.

Inside the arena.

Two figures crossed and collided, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

"Ouyang Qingyun, I didn't expect that you were the strongest among them." Xiang Tian retreated abruptly.

Putting a distance of several zhang between himself and Ouyang Qingyun.

They faced each other from afar.

"Heh, are you afraid now?" The corners of Ouyang Qingyun's mouth curled up.

His tone was contemptuous, "Even if you use your full strength, you can't do anything to me, right?"

Xiang Tian did not respond.

The previous exchange was merely him testing the limits of the Martial King Realm's combat power.

The trading of blows was just a warm-up.

The next second.

Red Phoenix Flame suddenly ignited around him, and waves of heat swept in all directions.

"Go!"

Accompanied by a low shout.

Nine golden-red short swords transformed into streaks of light.

Piercing straight at Ouyang Qingyun.

"Clang—"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening.

Ouyang Qingyun realized something was wrong and hurriedly swung his blade to block.

Just one move.

He frowned deeply.

The power of this strike was actually several levels stronger than before.

It shook his arm until it went numb.

"Ouyang Qingyun, take another move from me!" Xiang Tian didn't give him any chance to catch his breath.

The Phoenix Flame wrapped around the qingling sword, the sword following his movements.

A brilliant blue-red Sword Qi tore through the air.

Heading straight for Ouyang Qingyun's face.

"Hmph!" Ouyang Qingyun snorted coldly.

The Spiritual Qi around him surged, and a pitch-black protective barrier instantly wrapped tightly around him.

However.

Just as he finished setting up his defense, the Xiang Tian in front of him suddenly vanished.

"Behind me!" Alarm bells rang in Ouyang Qingyun's heart.

But he was ultimately one step too slow.

"Bang!" The qingling sword stabbed fiercely into the black protective barrier.

"Crack!" A crisp shattering sound rang out.

The barrier was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

"You..." Ouyang Qingyun had just started to turn around.

Another muffled sound.

"Bang!"

Xiang Tian's second sword had already fallen.

"Crack!" The black protective barrier completely shattered.

Fragments of Spiritual Qi scattered and flew everywhere.

"Clang!"

The qingling sword took the opportunity to thrust straight out.

Ouyang Qingyun barely managed to block this fatal blow by relying on his years of combat instinct.

But he was shaken into retreating again and again, his blood churning.

"It's not over yet!" Xiang Tian shouted in a low voice.

The nine golden-red short swords transformed into nine streaks of light.

Attacking Ouyang Qingyun from different directions.

"Chi, chi, chi—"

The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out one after another.

Ouyang Qingyun had nowhere to dodge.

His body was instantly slashed with nine wounds deep enough to see the bone, and blood gushed out.

He was completely trapped in a passive position.

"Is there any need to keep fighting?" Xiang Tian held the qingling sword, pressing forward step by step.

He thrust his sword again.

"Clang!"

Ouyang Qingyun gripped his blade with both hands, struggling to block the strike.

His face had turned as pale as paper.

His breathing had also become chaotic and labored.

"I... I will never lose!" He gritted his teeth.

"Is that so?" Xiang Tian's eyes turned cold.

His figure vanished into thin air once again.

The next moment.

He had already appeared behind Ouyang Qingyun.

He raised his leg and kicked out.

"Bang!"

This kick came completely unexpectedly.

Ouyang Qingyun screamed.

His whole body flew forward like a kite with a broken string.

"Let me send you off with one more!" Xiang Tian flashed his figure.

Catching up to the flying Ouyang Qingyun.

He kicked fiercely once more.

"Bang!"

A loud bang.

Ouyang Qingyun was kicked straight out of the arena.

He slammed into the ground, unable to get back up.

"Ouyang Qingyun, bring me my blade." Xiang Tian's gaze fell on the large blade in Ouyang Qingyun's hand.

"Hmph! You've only just won against me, and you want to take my blade? Dream on!" Ouyang Qingyun lay on the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He snorted coldly with a resentful look in his eyes.

"That's right, there are still other people on the field." Xiang Tian was reminded by him.

And only then remembered that there were still a few contestants in the arena.

He immediately turned his head and scanned those who were staring intently at him.

"Ahem, Brother Xiang Tian, we are all our own people, there's no need to damage our harmony! I'll withdraw right now!" One of them reacted the fastest and quickly cupped his hands in a salute.

He withdrew from the competition circle without hesitation.

"That's right! Although Brother Xiang Tian is not from the Ouyang Family, he has deep ties with our Ouyang Family, so we admit defeat!" Another person quickly chimed in.

Following closely and exiting the arena.

The others saw this, and how could they dare to contend with Xiang Tian? They all cupped their hands and admitted defeat.

In a short moment.

Only Xiang Tian was left in the arena.

"Master! You are too amazing! You didn't lose me!" Bai Yu came running from the edge of the arena.

She threw herself into Xiang Tian's arms.

During the previous contest, she had been worried the whole time.

She had never been so terrified, fearing that something might happen to Xiang Tian.

Xiang Tian gently patted her back and reached out to flick her little nose.

He said gently, "Didn't I tell you? I would never lose you."

"Mm-hmm! I have always believed in Master!" Bai Yu nodded vigorously.

Looking up at him with her little face, her eyes slightly red.

"Xiang Tian, you brat, you're really awesome!" Ouyang Yunshan led the group of captains and landed in the arena.

"Cut the crap, how many points does our Sunshine Squad have?" Xiang Tian couldn't be bothered with small talk.

Going straight to the point.

"Ahem!" Ouyang Yunshan coughed twice.

He said seriously, "Your Sunshine Squad has a total of fifteen points."

At this moment.

Ouyang Miaomiao walked up, her eyes once again carefully examining Xiang Tian.

The satisfaction in her eyes was undisguised: "Xiang Tian, congratulations to your Sunshine Squad for winning the champion of this Secret Realm trial."

She paused.

She then added quietly: "Not bad, you are very suitable to be the father of my child."

Xiang Tian heard this.

Immediately full of question marks, his face blank.

Bai Yu instantly bristled, glaring viciously at Ouyang Miaomiao.

All the fur on her body stood up.

"Little fox, don't you think that your Master and I are a perfect match?" Ouyang Miaomiao ignored Bai Yu's hostility.

Gently reaching out her hand, wanting to stroke her little head.

"Don't touch me!" Bai Yu jumped backward abruptly.

Knocking away Ouyang Miaomiao's hand, her tone full of vigilance.

"Little fox, perhaps you have some misunderstanding about me." Ouyang Miaomiao's tone remained gentle.

Without the slightest anger, "I am actually gentle by nature, not as strong-willed as you see."

"Miaomiao, the matter between you and this little fox can be discussed in detail later." Ouyang Yunshan saw the two at a stalemate.

Quickly stepped forward to interrupt their conversation.

"That's right, that's right!" Ouyang Yunze walked to Xiang Tian's side with a chuckle.

Mediating, "We men still have important matters to discuss, you women should step aside for a moment."

"What did you say?" Ouyang Miaomiao's beautiful eyes widened.

Her tone instantly turned cold.

"Slip of the tongue! Purely a slip of the tongue!" Ouyang Yunze's face turned pale.

Quickly admitting defeat, cold sweat instantly breaking out on his forehead.

"Hmph! This captain is in a good mood today, so I won't hold it against you, but let this be the last time!" Ouyang Miaomiao snorted coldly.

And then withdrew her cold gaze.

"I announce that this Secret Realm trial..." Ouyang Yunshan was just preparing to announce the final result.

A beautiful figure quickly threw herself into Xiang Tian's arms.

The person who came was none other than Ouyang Huamei.

During the previous contest, her heart had also been hanging in the air.

Although the contest would not claim lives.

But she still felt heartache for the possibility of Xiang Tian being injured.

"Xiang Tian, you actually became so strong..." She lifted her head.

Looking at Xiang Tian with a pair of apricot eyes, looking pitiful.

Her tone worried, "You will definitely become stronger in the future, will you... will you look down on me?"

"Sister Huamei! How can you be like this!" Ouyang Ling, who had followed all the way, shouted angrily.

Before meeting Xiang Tian.

Ouyang Huamei was clearly a gentle and dignified woman.

Now she had become so proactive, which was really hard for her to accept.

"Little Sister Ling, you don't understand." Ouyang Huamei not only didn't let go of Xiang Tian.

Instead, she hugged him even tighter, "To like someone, sometimes it only takes a single moment."

"You are really hopeless!" Ouyang Ling rolled her eyes in anger and turned her head away abruptly.

Unwilling to look at this hugging scene anymore.

"If you want to reminisce, wait until we are out of the Secret Realm." Ouyang Yunshan said helplessly.

Interrupting the entanglement of the few again.

"Wait." Xiang Tian spoke first.

Interrupting Ouyang Yunshan's words.

"Hm? Is there something else?" Ouyang Yunshan looked at him in confusion.

"Between Ouyang Qingyun and me, there was a wager earlier, and everyone present here is a witness." Xiang Tian's gaze turned to Ouyang Qingyun, who was lying on the ground.

His tone firm, "According to the wager, that large blade of his should belong to me now."

"Qingyun..." Ouyang Yunshan nodded.

Casting his gaze toward Ouyang Qingyun, who was still slumped on the ground.

"You want my large blade? Not a chance!" Ouyang Qingyun shouted angrily.

He took out a jade talisman from his storage ring and crushed it fiercely.

"Xiang Tian, we'll meet again!"

However.

After the jade talisman shattered, the expected teleportation did not occur.

He remained in the same place.

"Hm? What's going on?" Ouyang Qingyun frowned deeply.

An ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"Why can't I get out?"
