Chapter 26: A Wave of Trend, Ning Ye Arrives!
"Everyone!"
"The time is almost up!"
"Let's begin!"
Just as the atmosphere in front of Tianmen Pass became tense, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion smiled and broke the extremely heavy silence.
As his words fell, tens of thousands of Cultivators throughout Tianmen Pass cheered!
The Battle of the Prodigies in the Eastern Barren State officially began!
"This is great!"
"Luo Zhixie!"
"I lost a sword strike to you back then!"
"Today, I will definitely return that sword strike to you!"
Ye Wuya took a deep breath and looked at Luo Zhixie, his clear eyes filled with Battle Intent.
"Wretched monk!"
"The humiliation of that year!"
"This Young Master will repay it tenfold today!"
Luo Zhixie looked at Xuan Zang with a cold gaze.
'My destiny!'
'Can only be decided by me!'
'No one else can decide it!'
Wu Yao gritted her silver teeth. If she lost today, she would truly have to marry. She had always wanted to control her own destiny, so she worked hard to become the Chief of Misty Peak. Now, the day to test her strength had arrived.
'First in the sequence!'
'After paying such a cruel price!'
'I must achieve first in the sequence!'
Xiao Tu clenched his fists, secretly vowing in his heart.
"It's finally starting!"
"This Humble Monk is hungry!"
Xuan Zang rubbed his shrunken stomach and let out a long sigh.
'From the looks of it...'
'It shouldn't be difficult for me to take first place in the Prodigy sequence!'
The "young man" in black tight-fitting clothes swept his gaze over the Prodigies, a cold sneer forming in his heart...
"I'll go first!"
Luo Zhixie let out a long cry and flew directly onto the huge martial arts stage in front of Tianmen Pass. He then scanned the tens of thousands of Cultivators below with his cold gaze, and not a single one dared to meet his eyes, all lowering their heads.
The rules of the Battle of the Prodigies were simple: anyone who ascended the martial arts stage could challenge anyone present, and could also be challenged by anyone.
Of course, the challenged could refuse, but once refused, they would lose their qualification to challenge. Ultimately, the person who remained on the martial arts stage would win first place in the sequence.
"This Young Master's first battle must be spectacular!"
Luo Zhixie smiled and looked at the top Prodigies of the Seven Great Clans of the Eastern Barrens. Finally, his gaze locked onto Chen Ji, the Young Sword Master of the Old Sun Star Sect.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't a fool. He wouldn't challenge Xuan Zang or Wu Yao right away, as he didn't know their true combat strength. He decided to observe first, so he chose the Young Sword Master of the Old Sun Star Sect.
"Please enlighten me, Young Sect Master!"
Chen Ji walked onto the martial arts stage with a huge black sword on his back. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was extremely nervous in his heart.
Although he was the Young Sword Master of the Old Sun Star Sect, he knew the gap between himself and the madman Luo Zhixie.
"Hmm!"
Luo Zhixie looked at Chen Ji, a wicked smile playing on his lips. He extended a finger and spoke two words:
"One move!"
The moment the words fell.
The atmosphere throughout Tianmen Pass instantly exploded.
All the Cultivators present knew that Luo Zhixie was strong, but Chen Ji was also the Chief of the Old Sun Star Sect. To say "one move" was too disrespectful to the Old Sun Star Sect.
"Good!"
"I'd like to see how the Young Sect Master defeats me in one move!"
Chen Ji's temper flared. He knew he couldn't beat Luo Zhixie, but he absolutely didn't believe Luo Zhixie could defeat him in one move.
"Heh!"
Luo Zhixie's smile deepened as he looked at Chen Ji. The next second, he flickered, taking a single step to appear before Chen Ji, and mercilessly unleashed a palm strike.
Boom!!!
Thick black mist obscured the sky!
Pfft!!!
The sound of blood splashing rang out!
From the black mist, a figure flew backward!
This person was none other than Chen Ji!
Upon seeing this scene.
The entire Tianmen Pass fell silent. No one could have imagined that Luo Zhixie was so strong that he actually defeated Chen Ji in one move!
"If I said one move, then it's one move!"
Luo Zhixie spread his hands, turned around gracefully, and slowly walked off the martial arts stage.
"Hmph! Arrogant fellow!"
Ye Wuya snorted coldly and then ascended the martial arts stage.
His chosen opponent was Mo Ran, the Young Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons Mansion!
Many people had guessed his choice.
But what surprised people was that when facing Mo Ran, he also extended a finger and said in a showy manner:
"One move!"
The moment the words fell.
Tens of thousands of Cultivators at Tianmen Pass thought, is this Ye Wuya competing with Luo Zhixie?
And Mo Ran, the Young Lord of Ten Thousand Poisons Mansion, twitched his cheek and said coldly:
"Let's begin!"
Zheng!!!
The moment the words fell.
An extremely brilliant sword light shone.
Pfft!!!
Mo Ran didn't even have time to condense his Ten Thousand Poisons Grand Array before he was swept off the martial arts stage by that single sword strike!
"It really was one move!!!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of Cultivators in Tianmen Pass erupted in excitement.
In the third battle, Wu Yao took the stage.
She chose Lu Zhu, the Saintess of the Red Robe Cult.
The expectant gazes of tens of thousands of Cultivators on the martial arts stage all converged on Wu Yao.
Given the precedents, they naturally anticipated the style of this Misty Peak Saintess's first battle!
Alas!!!
Feeling the fiery, expectant gazes from in front of Tianmen Pass, Wu Yao couldn't help but sigh, then said helplessly to Lu Zhu:
"Then one move it is!"
The moment the words fell, a deafening cheer immediately erupted from Tianmen Pass. To be honest, she hadn't wanted to join in the fun, but the atmosphere had reached this point, so she had no choice.
"Good, good, good!"
"This Saintess would like to experience the Princess's high move!"
Lu Zhu was so angry she laughed. She was, after all, the Saintess of the Red Robe Cult, and she had her own dignity.
"Hah!"
With a cold shout, blazing flames ignited around her. She stomped hard on the ground, and her entire being transformed into a fiery star, dyed in flames, as she charged towards Wu Yao.
Boom!!!
A deafening explosion rang out.
Terrifying Star Origin power created invisible ripples in the Void Realm.
But the next second, Lu Zhu's figure suddenly stopped in front of Wu Yao. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, because Wu Yao's fist had, at some unknown point, deeply embedded itself in Lu Zhu's stomach.
"Sorry!"
Wu Yao's red lips parted slightly as she withdrew her jade hand and turned to walk off the martial arts stage.
"Ugh!!!"
Lu Zhu suddenly vomited a large mouthful of blood, collapsing onto the martial arts stage, completely unconscious.
Another single move!!!
At this moment, tens of thousands of Cultivators in front of Tianmen Pass all stood up, their eyes filled with shock.
It seemed that there were also differences between Prodigies!
...
After Wu Yao.
Xuan Zang took the stage, choosing a high-level Star Gathering expert. Without any extra words, he defeated his enemy in one move!
The mysterious "young man" in black tight-fitting clothes, Qianye, also defeated her enemy in one move. At this moment, no one knew her identity, but they knew that the enemy defeated by her was the number one Prodigy of the Eastern Barren Barbarian Kingdom!
This group of top Prodigies from the Eastern Barrens, although they hadn't yet met, had already begun an indirect competition, creating an unprecedented wave of [One Move]!
And when Xiao Tu took the stage to choose an opponent, he suddenly caught sight of something in the distance: a man in white, leisurely riding a donkey, accompanied by a girl wearing a bamboo hat whose face couldn't be clearly seen, slowly entering Tianmen Pass!
"It's him!"
The moment Xiao Tu saw the man, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his breathing became extremely heavy.
He would never forget the man who had stolen his Opportunity in the Dark Sacrificial Temple!
