A Clash of Titans? Wang Quan Yan and Qi Hao's Fated Battle!

To this, Wang Quan Yan paid no mind.

Why exactly Lin Jingyu couldn't draw the sword? He knew full well himself—after all, Wang Quan Yan was also aware of what the Dragon Slaying Sword had just expressed.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Why did he feel like some kind of cuckolder?

Wang Quan Yan raised his hand and stroked the Dragon Slaying Sword in his grip. The jade-green divine blade trembled faintly, conveying a sense of closeness...

What was this supposed to be?

Wang Quan Yan looked at Lin Jingyu's utterly despairing face and thought to himself—didn't this count as committing the deed before the husband's eyes?

At this moment.

Lin Jingyu was steeped in despair.

But in his heart, there was even greater unwillingness.

He didn't believe it!

He refused to believe it!

The Dragon Slaying Sword must still love him!

Surely Wang Quan Yan had used some kind of sorcery to steal the Dragon Slaying Sword's heart!

He only needed to prove himself before the Dragon Slaying Sword!

He only needed to defeat Wang Quan Yan!

Then he would surely win back the Dragon Slaying Sword's affection!

"Draw your sword!"

Lin Jingyu pulled himself together.

Yet, the moment Wang Quan Yan drew the Dragon Slaying Sword, Lin Jingyu fell into despair again.

Please.

Please, can you not use the Dragon Slaying Sword?

"I won't allow you to touch it..."

Lin Jingyu ground his teeth.

He brandished the dharma sword in his hand and charged recklessly at Wang Quan Yan, determined to defeat him and regain the Dragon Slaying Sword's recognition.

"Come! Fight!"

But the moment Wang Quan Yan swept the Dragon Slaying Sword in a horizontal arc, Lin Jingyu's expression shifted.

He hastily withdrew his dharma sword, as if afraid that even a single strike from him might harm the Dragon Slaying Sword...

What the—?!

Wang Quan Yan looked baffled.

Why did it feel like he was the biggest villain here?

Thinking this, Wang Quan Yan shook his head helplessly.

He casually swung his sword, putting a final end to this farce.

Shwoosh!

The Dragon Slaying Sword burst forth with a dazzling sword-light.

A faint Sword Intent soared into the sky, and the entire arena was engulfed by Sword Momentum. Lin Jingyu had nowhere to retreat, was directly enveloped by that blinding sword-light, and was sent off the platform without any suspense...

This time, Wang Quan Yan did not make things difficult for him.

Though Lin Jingyu was also a disciple of Dragon Head Peak, still...

In front of Wang Quan Yan, he seemed more like a cuckold?

For that reason, Wang Quan Yan thought it over and decided not to trouble him.

After all.

Lin Jingyu had already suffered enough.

"Boom!"

At this very moment.

Lin Jingyu was sent off the platform by Wang Quan Yan with a single sword strike.

He lay on the ground, motionless, his face ashen, as if his entire world had plunged into darkness, with nothing left to hold onto...

"No—"

Lin Jingyu screamed inwardly at the top of his lungs.

Seeing this.

The surrounding Dragon Head Peak disciples hurried forward.

They slunk over and dragged Lin Jingyu back, somehow feeling a bit embarrassed...

"This match."

"Grand Bamboo Peak's Wang Quan Yan—wins!"

The elder of Tongtian Peak on the platform announced the result.

For a moment.

The Top 32 to Top 16 competition officially came to an end.

Since it was still early, True Person Dao Xuan decided to hold the Top 16 to Top 8 matches today as well...

In other words.

Wang Quan Yan still had to fight another round.

As he stepped down from the platform.

The many disciples watching nearby parted a path for him.

Wang Quan Yan calmly walked away, sword in hand.

"Whoosh—"

Just then.

He suddenly noticed a cool, clear gaze.

Wang Quan Yan paused slightly, stopped in his tracks, and looked up into the distance. There stood an aloof maiden in white robes, her dress fluttering in the wind, her hair flowing freely. Her clear, cold eyes shimmered with some indescribable meaning...

Others couldn't read her gaze?

That didn't mean Wang Quan Yan couldn't!

She seemed to be saying—

'We're almost at the Top 8. I hope to meet you in the Finals.'

Wang Quan Yan: 'Good!'

The nearby Qingyun Disciples exchanged bewildered glances.

They watched as Wang Quan Yan stopped and locked eyes with Lu Xueqi. If anyone said there was nothing between these two? They wouldn't believe it for a second!

Ha—

Innocent and pure, and they'll have five kids, right?

Pfft.

And they call this spotless and noble?

Look around—who here actually buys it?

Grand Bamboo Peak had sent eight or nine disciples to compete, but only three advanced to the Top 16: Wang Quan Yan, Song Daren, and Zhang Xiaofan.

To be honest.

As for Zhang Xiaofan making it through?

Quite a few people on Grand Bamboo Peak were a bit surprised.

After all.

Zhang Xiaofan was only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity.

He didn't even have a decent magic artifact.

How did he manage to break into the Top 16?

On this matter.

Wang Quan Yan understood perfectly.

Though Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation was only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity, his foundation was actually very deep—after all, he was the first person in history to cultivate both Buddhism and Daoism.

Even if he was only at the Fourth Layer of Jade Purity?

His physique and foundation were enough to match the Ninth Layer of Jade Purity!

As for the problem of his magic treasure?

Ha—

Was Zhang Xiaofan's magic treasure really just an ordinary Fire-Burning Staff?

How could that be!

The combination of the Blood Devouring Pearl and the Soul Absorbing Rod had directly turned the Fire-Burning Staff in Zhang Xiaofan's hand into a divine artifact far surpassing the Nine Heavens Divine Weapons.

Relying on such an artifact, And with Zhang Xiaofan's formidable physique and foundation, wasn't it a simple matter for him to break into the Top 16?

Perhaps luck played a part in it.

But his strength was certainly an undeniable factor.

Soon, the matches for advancing from the Top 16 to the Top 8 began.

In this round, Song Daren encountered a powerful opponent.

In the end, he could only regretfully stop at the Top 16.

But—

Zhang Xiaofan continued to break through the encirclement.

Relying on the Fire-Burning Staff in his hand, he directly crossed realms to defeat a Seventh Layer of Jade Purity disciple from Chaoyang Peak, advancing into the Top 8 of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaofan's move

also drew the attention of a certain peak master.

"Swish!"

On the high platform, Cangsong seemed to sense a familiar aura. He abruptly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on the Fire-Burning Staff in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, his expression flickering slightly...

"Is this?"

"The Blood Devouring Pearl!"

Cangsong was startled inwardly.

Why would the Blood Devouring Pearl appear in the hands of a Grand Bamboo Peak disciple?

Cangsong's eyes flickered.

In the end, he chose not to expose it on the spot.

Because tonight, he still had another plan to carry out...

Meanwhile, The matches on the field continued.

In her match to advance to the Top 8, Lu Xueqi once again encountered a Dragon Head Peak disciple.

Without a moment's hesitation, she simply drew the Heavenly Azure Divine Sword and directly severed her opponent's lifebound immortal sword. If she remembered correctly...

The Dragon Head Peak disciple she was now facing

had been the loudest cheering under the arena during Wang Quan Yan's match, hadn't he?

Ha—

No strength at all.

What was he putting on airs for?

Lu Xueqi turned around calmly, sheathed her sword, and walked away.

So, Was it that she personally hated Dragon Head Peak?

Or did she want to vent for someone else?!

Lu Xueqi didn't know.

She only knew that she hated Dragon Head Peak, and that was that.

"Next match!"

"Grand Bamboo Peak's Wang Quan Yan versus Dragon Head Peak's Qi Hao!"

At that moment, the Tongtian Peak elder on the arena suddenly announced the next pair of competitors, and his voice immediately stirred up a huge commotion among the crowd.

The long-awaited clash of titans.

It was finally here!

Who would have thought that Qi Hao and Wang Quan Yan would meet in the round of sixteen advancing to the top eight!?

"Shua!"

The aloof maiden's gaze shifted over.

PS: Had something come up yesterday, hence the delay until now.

Regular update at midnight tonight~ Please keep reading!!!
