Chapter 912 Hitting a Brick Wall
“I am Luo Qian from Hantianmen, please advise.” The female disciple opposite bowed and then drew the long sword from her waist.
“I, I am Liu Liansha from Frost Cold Palace, please advise…” Liu Liansha said clumsily.
After speaking, she immediately began to recite the incantation that Fang Yu had taught her below the stage.
At this moment, Luo Qian had already gripped her sword and charged toward her.
Liu Liansha was extremely nervous, her delicate eyebrows tightly furrowed, but she finally recited the incantation without missing a word.
But… there was no response.
Liu Liansha opened her beautiful eyes wide, frozen in place, her mind completely blank.
That bastard Fang Yu… did this on purpose, right?
By this time, Luo Qian had already reached her.
Seeing Liu Liansha motionless, Luo Qian frowned, withdrew her sword, and instead used her right palm to strike toward Liu Liansha’s chest.
Liu Liansha’s brain hadn’t even processed what was happening.
But at that moment, her body began to move involuntarily.
“Tap!”
Liu Liansha’s foot pushed against the ground, her body shifting sideways, avoiding Luo Qian’s palm strike.
Seeing Liu Liansha suddenly move, Luo Qian’s expression changed slightly, and she gripped her sword tightly again, pursuing her.
Liu Liansha’s figure suddenly rushed in the opposite direction.
Luo Qian gripped her sword and swung forward.
A sword energy blasted out.
But at this moment, Liu Liansha suddenly reversed direction again, moving with incredible speed!
“Whoosh!”
In the next second, Liu Liansha appeared at Luo Qian’s side from behind.
She raised her right palm and chopped at Luo Qian’s wrist.
Luo Qian groaned in pain, and the sword in her hand flew out.
Liu Liansha leaped up, as if knowing Luo Qian was about to turn around, and appeared once again in Luo Qian’s blind spot, striking out with her palm!
“Bang!”
With a light sound, Luo Qian was struck in the back, falling forward onto the ground.
Liu Liansha picked up the sword from the ground, followed up, and pointed the blade directly at Luo Qian’s forehead as she tried to get up.
Luo Qian’s face turned pale, and she stopped moving.
The match was decided.
“Wow…”
The audience was silent for several seconds, then erupted in exclamations!
This female disciple from Frost Cold Palace was not only beautiful, but also so powerful!
Without using any magical techniques, relying solely on movement techniques and physical skills, she defeated her opponent!
The skills she displayed were stronger than many male warriors with higher cultivation levels!
At this moment, Liu Liansha maintained her posture with the sword pointing at her opponent, but her eyes were wide open, her face full of shock.
She was certain that everything that had just happened was not under her conscious control.
Her body wasn’t responding to her commands!
It was Fang Yu!
“First match, Frost Cold Palace wins!”
Liu Liansha felt her body relax, and she could control her movements again.
She put down the sword, quickly ran off the stage, and returned to Frost Cold Palace’s area.
“You were controlling me just now, weren’t you?” Liu Liansha asked, looking at Fang Yu.
“Of course, otherwise with your normal abilities, you probably would have been taken down in two moves,” Fang Yu said.
“Hmph!” Liu Liansha snorted coldly, wanting to retort, but suddenly thought of something and asked, “Since you can control me… does that mean I could defeat even stronger opponents? Like a Martial Venerable…”
“We could try, but I think you’d die miserably,” Fang Yu said calmly.
Although he could control Liu Liansha’s body movements, everything had to operate within the framework of Liu Liansha’s own physical capabilities.
Movements or techniques beyond what Liu Liansha’s body could handle were impossible to execute.
Feeling gazes from all around the arena, Fang Yu said, “You should thank me. After these two matches, you’ve become a goddess in the eyes of the ten thousand people here.”
“I don’t want to be the center of attention!” Liu Liansha said angrily.
“Stop pretending. You’re very happy inside. This kind of spotlight must make you feel elated,” Fang Yu said.
“You…” Liu Liansha’s face turned red with anger, unable to speak.
The second match soon began.
With similar cultivation levels, having superior physical skills provided a huge advantage.
Just like before, Fang Yu controlled Liu Liansha’s movements, winning the victory with ease.
“Match thirty-nine of the first round goes to Frost Cold Palace from the Huaibei region, advancing to the next round!” the head judge announced loudly.
Liu Liansha returned to the sidelines, her face still flushed from excitement and agitation.
“Feeling the joy of possessing great power?” Fang Yu asked.
“…” Liu Liansha knew Fang Yu was about to mock her again, so she kept her mouth shut.
“Go back and train hard. Your performance just now was your current limit,” Fang Yu said. “A limit you might never reach again in your lifetime.”
“Fang Yu… if I could, I would really bite you to death!” Liu Liansha said through gritted teeth.
“It doesn’t matter, you’d just break a few teeth, that’s all,” Fang Yu said.
Liu Liansha knew she was no match for Fang Yu in arguments, and in fighting… she had even less chance.
So, although she was very angry, she could only seethe silently.
Beside her, Su Lengyun gave Liu Liansha a helpless look, then turned to Fang Yu.
“Brother Yu, why did you come here? Can I know what for?” Su Lengyun thought for a moment before asking.
Fang Yu was about to speak when he sensed several unusual auras from above.
He immediately looked up toward the sky.
To the ordinary eye, only a few black dots could be seen.
But for Fang Yu, it was different.
He could see clearly that there were five people!
All five were wearing purple-gold robes.
This attire… was deeply imprinted in Fang Yu’s memory.
The uniform of Purple Flame Palace’s inner disciples!
These remnants had finally arrived!
Fang Yu’s gaze suddenly turned cold, a killing intent subtly emanating from his body.
Su Lengyun noticed the change in Fang Yu’s demeanor and also looked up at the sky.
In her vision, she could only see several dark shadows rapidly descending from the sky.
Soon, they landed on the opposite side of the arena and disappeared from sight.
Su Lengyun turned her head, about to speak.
But when she turned, she found that Fang Yu had already vanished.
“Brother Yu…”
There was worry in Su Lengyun’s beautiful eyes.
She rarely saw Fang Yu with such an expression.
Something must have happened…
…
The first round of matches was quickly completed.
The teams that made it to the top fifty conducted the draw for the second round.
The results came out quickly.
Frost Cold Palace’s opponent was Moon Crescent Sect from the Jiangnan region.
This sect had quite a reputation in Jiangnan, with considerable strength.
Su Lengyun planned to forfeit directly.
Among the other twenty-four match-ups, one attracted enormous attention.
Purple Flame Palace versus Dragon Slaying Pavilion!
Dragon Slaying Pavilion was a top-tier sect from the Northern Capital!
They had cultivated the most elite prodigy!
Murong Jian!
This man had occupied the number one position on the Heaven Ranking for a long time, only recently being pushed down to second by Si Kong Chen!
But even so, no one would question Murong Jian!
Anyone who had ever reached the top of the Heaven Ranking, even just once, was an exceptional genius as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns!
And Murong Jian had stayed there for quite a long time!
No one would question his strength and talent, nor did anyone have the right to question it!
“Now this will be interesting. That Purple Flame Palace is so ruthless, but now they’ve hit a steel plate!”
“I wonder if Murong Jian from Dragon Slaying Pavilion will have a chance to appear… after all, he’s their strongest disciple, and Purple Flame Palace isn’t exactly a top-tier sect, so they might not be able to force Murong Jian to take the stage…”
“Come on, didn’t you see that female disciple from Purple Flame Palace just now? Murong Jian must come out! This Purple Flame Palace is not weak at all…”
Heated discussions arose from the audience.
Everyone’s focus was on whether Murong Jian would appear in the second round.
Generally, a sect’s strongest disciple wouldn’t appear until a critical moment.
For example, in the first round, Dragon Slaying Pavilion had only sent out a disciple at the Martial Venerable realm, who casually defeated the opponent and advanced easily.
Insufficient strength couldn’t force Murong Jian to appear.
The spectators all hoped to see the top prodigy Murong Jian take the stage.
Therefore, they could only hope that Purple Flame Palace would create some pressure for Dragon Slaying Pavilion.
After the draw was completed, the second round of matches quickly began.
The match between Purple Flame Palace and Dragon Slaying Pavilion was the sixth match of the second round.
The first five matches ended quickly.
The sixth match began.
On Purple Flame Palace’s side, they again sent out the female disciple from before, Xiumei.
