Chapter 909 The Grand Competition of Hundred Sects
“Where?” Fang Yu asked again.
“Shenwu Platform,” Zheng Ze said.
Fang Yu took out a map of North Capital, located the exact position of Shenwu Platform, and then activated the Spirit Ring.
Just as Fang Yu was about to leave, Ye Shengxue bit her lip and asked, “Mr. Fang, can Zinan and I go to Shenwu Platform…”
Before she could finish speaking, a beam of light emanated from Fang Yu and Zheng Ze, and they disappeared.
Ye Shengxue was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes showing some frustration.
After thinking for a moment, she turned and left the Scripture Pavilion.
…
North Capital, Shenwu Platform.
This was the largest martial arts arena in North Capital, even in the entire Yanxia, specifically used for hosting various large-scale martial arts tournaments.
The grandeur of the arena was reflected not only in the fighting platform itself but also in the surrounding spectator stands.
Similar to a regular football stadium, the stands could seat nearly fifty thousand spectators.
At this moment, the stands were almost full.
The Hundred Sects Competition was a grand event held once every ten years.
Therefore, even though martial arts sects were in decline, it still attracted many spectators.
Since the Hundred Sects Competition wasn’t heavily promoted in North Capital’s martial arts circles, most of the spectators who came to watch were from other regions.
Among them, the majority were independent martial artists, a few were disciples from various sects, and a very small number… came from various martial arts families.
They traveled long distances to North Capital not only to support sects from their own regions but also to observe the strength of sects from other regions.
After all, this was a grand event held once every decade!
At this moment, all spectators’ eyes were fixed on the combatants on the fighting platform!
This match was between Purple Flame Palace, an emerging sect from the Central Region, against Hongtianzong, a well-known established sect from the Southwest Region!
The elite disciples sent by the two sects were already standing on the fighting platform.
On Hongtianzong’s side was a man who appeared to be in his thirties.
The disciple sent by Purple Flame Palace was a female disciple, young in appearance with a beautiful face.
However, looking from afar, one could see that this female disciple had a faint gray aura emanating from her body.
“My name is Jiang Xiaolong. Sister, brother will go easy on you and take good care of you,” the man chuckled and said flippantly.
Jiang Xiaolong didn’t take an unknown sect like Purple Flame Palace seriously at all.
Before coming on stage, his master had instructed him to be ruthless and demonstrate Hongtianzong’s strength.
And after seeing that his opponent was a beautiful, young-looking female disciple, Jiang Xiaolong was even more pleased.
Now, he could not only showcase Hongtianzong’s strength but also play the gentleman.
“Sister, what’s your name?” Jiang Xiaolong asked.
“Clang!”
At this moment, the referee at the side had already struck the bell signaling the start of the battle.
Jiang Xiaolong didn’t move at all, still maintaining a relaxed and cheerful posture, waiting for her response.
But at this moment, the woman opposite him began to move.
“Whoosh!”
She stomped her foot on the ground, and her figure moved like a ghost, leaving an afterimage in the air.
A sharp aura came straight at him!
Jiang Xiaolong felt a chill at his neck, his expression changed drastically as he tried to dodge!
“Crack!”
But in the next second, he could no longer move.
“Thud!”
Jiang Xiaolong’s head separated from his body, his expression still frozen in terror.
Seeing this scene, the spectator stands fell completely silent.
No one had expected that this duel… would end so quickly and so brutally!
Before the match, many people thought this would be a one-sided contest…
Of course, the current result did reflect a disparity in strength, just with the roles reversed!
This female disciple from Purple Flame Palace killed Jiang Xiaolong, an inner disciple from Hongtianzong, with a single strike, winning the first match!
The spectators in the stands, looking at the headless corpse that was still spurting blood, felt a chill in their hearts.
This was… too brutal.
Although the Hundred Sects Competition had all sects sign life-and-death agreements, allowing killing on the fighting platform.
But in reality, not many sects would actually kill their opponents.
After all… there was no need to go to extremes, and no need to make a mortal enemy for one’s sect.
But this emerging sect, Purple Flame Palace, killed their opponent without hesitation.
This approach… for an emerging sect, was definitely not a good thing.
So many sects present had witnessed this happen!
With Purple Flame Palace being so ruthless, who would want to establish friendly relations with them!?
“Damn it! Damn it!”
On Hongtianzong’s side, the elder in charge had a livid face, so angry that blue veins were popping on his forehead!
He hadn’t expected Jiang Xiaolong to be defeated so quickly, and even less expected the opponent to kill without hesitation!
Hongtianzong had no grudge against Purple Flame Palace, so why did they have to kill?
“My name is Xiumei.”
On the fighting platform, the female disciple from Purple Flame Palace gently pushed the headless corpse that was still standing rigidly.
The corpse fell to the ground, with blood still spraying from the severed neck.
Xiumei had already turned around and was walking off the platform.
The eyes of all spectators were fixed on her.
Looking at Xiumei’s appearance, it was hard to imagine her methods could be so cruel.
Xiumei slowly walked back to the area belonging to Purple Flame Palace.
And that place… was empty!
Purple Flame Palace had only sent this one female disciple!?
…
Fang Yu and Zheng Ze arrived at Shenwu Platform and, unable to find seats, simply sat down on the stairway at the top of the spectator stands.
When they arrived, Xiumei was just leaving the platform.
They could only see the headless corpse on the fighting platform.
At this point, guards were already coming up to clean it up.
“Central Region’s Purple Flame Palace versus Southwest Region’s Hongtianzong, first match, Purple Flame Palace wins!”
At this moment, the referee amplified his voice with true qi and announced loudly.
Purple Flame Palace…
Hearing these three words, Fang Yu’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he released his divine consciousness to cover the entire Shenwu Platform!
