227: Zhang Kuang, Lu Xueqi and Yan Hong, Green Lotus Sword Song

Chapter 227: Arrogance, Lu Xueqi and Yan Hong, Green Lotus Sword Song

Yan Hong's extremely arrogant words were like a spark falling into a pile of dry grass, instantly igniting the simmering anger of the many Qingyun Sect Disciples below the stage.

One by one, they clenched their fists, their eyes wide with fury, staring fixedly at Yan Hong, their chests heaving violently.

If not for the strict sect rules, they would have long since rushed onto the stage to 'reason' with Yan Hong.

However, although they couldn't go onto the arena...

How could the surging anger be suppressed?

A Disciple with a straightforward temper suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly, "Yan Hong, don't be arrogant!"

"My Qingyun Sect is the foremost major sect of the Righteous Path. When did it become your Incense Valley's turn to spout nonsense in my Qingyun Sect?"

Other Disciples also chimed in.

"Exactly! My Qingyun Sect is full of hidden talents! How can you insult us like this!"

"Look clearly at where this is. Do you really think Tongtian Peak is your Incense Valley, coming here to cause trouble?"

Listening to the angry voices of the crowd, Yan Hong merely sneered contemptuously, "Heh!"

Her eyes swept over the Qingyun Sect Disciples below the stage, filled with arrogance.

"If you truly have skill, as long as your age doesn't exceed one hundred years, you can come up to the stage and fight. Don't just talk tough."

"I'm really curious to see how much real skill you so-called Qingyun Sect prodigies possess..."

"Don't turn out to be all bark and no bite, unable to even withstand a single move from me!"

"At that time, the so-called Qingyun Sect being the foremost major sect of the Righteous Path will simply be a laughingstock!"

As Yan Hong finished speaking, the expressions of the Incense Valley Disciples varied.

Nangong Lie even showed a look of worry and quietly asked Li Xun beside him, "Senior Brother, isn't Senior Sister Yan Hong's provocation a bit too rash?"

"After all, this is indeed the Qingyun Sect's territory, what if..."

But before he could finish, Liu Xiaoxiao beside him tugged his sleeve, signaling him to be silent.

At this moment, Lü Shun looked at Nangong Lie with dissatisfaction, stroking his beard, "What are you afraid of?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for the surrounding Disciples to hear, "My Incense Valley Disciples should have this kind of arrogant spirit like Yan Hong!"

"So what if it's the Qingyun Sect?"

"Now, three of the top four in this Seven Peaks Tournament have already been defeated, leaving only the first place, Lu Xueqi."

"In contrast, our Incense Valley has only lost two people, and Junior Nephew Li Xun, our trump card, hasn't even entered the arena yet."

Saying this, he glanced sideways at Zhang Xiaofan, who still had bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, and curled his lips into a mocking smile, "Moreover, Yan Hong easily defeated that Zhang Xiaofan and is in excellent condition."

"Let her wear down Lu Xueqi a bit, and then Junior Nephew Li Xun will enter the stage and defeat Lu Xueqi."

"It's even possible that Yan Hong could directly defeat Lu Xueqi!"

"This time, our Incense Valley is certain to win!"

Shangguan Ce frowned slightly at this moment, "Junior Brother Lü Shun, don't be so careless. You should know that the identity of the fifth participant from the Qingyun Sect has not yet been revealed..."

Lü Shun, however, curled his lip dismissively, looking around with certainty in his eyes.

"The top three of the Seven Peaks Tournament have all fallen, leaving only Lu Xueqi."

"Therefore, that so-called fifth person is most likely just making up the numbers and is nothing to fear at all."

"After all, if they truly had strength, would they not participate in this Seven Peaks Tournament?!"

"Unless Xiao Yicai makes a move, our Incense Valley will surely win!"

Lü Shun became increasingly smug at this point, "Don't look at these Disciples below the stage, they're making a lot of noise, but anyone under a hundred years old cannot be Yan Hong's opponent, and exceeding a hundred years old doesn't meet the conditions for the match."

"It's likely that when they heard Junior Niece Yan Hong's words, they could only stare blankly."

"If you don't believe me, Senior Brother, just watch!"

Shangguan Ce heard this and nodded slightly, feeling that although Lü Shun was arrogant, what he said had some truth to it.

"It seems I was indeed overthinking."

As expected, the Qingyun Sect Disciples below the stage, upon hearing Yan Hong's challenge, were so angry they trembled, but they fell silent for a moment.

Those who usually had powerful Spells and were confident they could defeat Yan Hong had already passed the age of one hundred, not meeting the age limit for this competition.

As for the younger generation, thinking of Yan Hong's fierce methods used to defeat Zhang Xiaofan just now, they lost their nerve, and not a single one dared to step forward.

After a moment of silence, someone, though it's unknown who started it, looked at the woman walking towards the arena and shouted loudly, "Junior Sister Lu Xueqi, go go!"

"Let this arrogant Incense Valley see how powerful our Qingyun Sect is!"

"That's right! Junior Sister Lu Xueqi, go go!"

Shouts echoed throughout Tongtian Peak, everyone placing their hopes on this cold and aloof Genius from Xiao Zhu Peak.

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, but she was still somewhat absent-minded, occasionally turning her head to look in the direction of Xiao Zhu Peak.

"I wonder if Su Han Shixiong is alright, and if he has woken up..."

While worrying, she had already walked onto the arena.

And when Yan Hong saw Lu Xueqi step onto the stage, her smile deepened, her eyes full of provocation.

After all, the other party was the same as herself, also a woman, which could be said to be a natural rivalry.

She desperately wanted to prove that her strength was superior.

"The number one female cultivator of the younger generation can only be me, Yan Hong of Incense Valley!"

Thinking this, Yan Hong looked at the cold figure of Lu Xueqi in white opposite her and spoke first, "Lu Xueqi, today I will surely defeat you!"

Lu Xueqi's expression didn't change, her cold face showing no ripples, she simply responded indifferently, "More talk is useless. Let's see the real outcome with our hands."

She lightly spun the tianya sword in her hand, bringing forth a streak of flowing light.

Yan Hong nodded, "Okay, then let's see the real outcome with our hands."

"Don't think that just because you carry the title of Seven Peaks Tournament First Place and Xiao Zhu Peak Genius, you can scare me."

At this time, a Qingyun Sect Elder serving as the referee saw that the two were ready and shouted loudly, "Qingyun Sect Disciple Lu Xueqi, against Incense Valley's Yan Hong."

"Now, the match begins!"

As the words fell, everyone below the stage instantly held their breath, staring intently at the two people on the stage.

On the opposite side, Yan Hong was not polite at all and took the initiative to attack.

She quickly formed hand seals, an orange-red light radiating around her body, and heat instantly steamed up.

In the blink of an eye, several clusters of scorching flames formed out of thin air, roaring as they rushed towards Lu Xueqi. The flames were fierce, scorching and distorting the air wherever they passed.

"Taste my Burning Flame Fire!"

Yan Hong shouted, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Lu Xueqi, however, was not flustered. She lightly tapped her foot, her figure drifting backward.

At the same time, the tianya sword was brandished, and streaks of icy cold sword energy crisscrossed, meeting the surging flames.

Ice and fire collided, and instantly, the arena was filled with mist, crackling sounds exploding incessantly, making everyone's eardrums ache.

Seeing her Spell easily broken, Yan Hong snorted coldly.

"As expected of the first place of the Seven Peaks Tournament, you're indeed different from that trash just now."

"Then try my Magic Treasure!"

Saying this, Yan Hong summoned a green, gem-like magic item.

Lu Xueqi looked at Yan Hong's Magic Treasure, the Azure Spirit Stone, the tianya sword still not unsheathed.

"Taishang Sword Canon, Green Lotus Sword Song!"
