Chapter 4037: Ximen From the Marionette Villa

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Up until now, there were only a few fierce fights during the round to determine the rankings for the Seven Mansions Feast, but they were hardly shocking.

However, many people were shocked by the strength of w.a.n.g Xiong from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor, who was unheard of in the past. He was clearly holding back his strength so everyone, including Duan Ling Tian, was eager to see his true strength. He Yu Xi, his opponent, was famous in the Consonance Mansion, and with the strength he displayed so far, he would not be able to fight He Yu Xi to a draw, let alone defeat him.

“They’ve made their moves!”

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the battlefield at this time. It was as though they were afraid of missing any actions.

The two opponents did not use their full strength during their first attacks; they only tested the water. After 30 moves, the fight intensified, and the duo was evenly matched.

!!

After another dozen moves, He Yu Xi seemed to realize that he would be wasting his energy if the fight dragged out any longer. His goal was to challenge Yang Qian Ye, who was the ninth partic.i.p.ant, and he had to hold on to his rank if he wanted to do that. He said bluntly, “w.a.n.g Xiong, let’s go all out. If you’re capable, then go all out and defeat me. Otherwise, let’s end it with a draw. There’s no point in dragging this out and exhausting our energy.”

w.a.n.g Xiong smiled upon hearing this. Following that, his strength skyrocketed as he cast his bloodline power. “I’ll comply with your request.”

A burst of energy raged around w.a.n.g Xiong, making him look like a mighty G.o.d descending from the heavens.

Boom!

w.a.n.g Xiong’s attack came swiftly and sent He Yu Xi flying back. On the contrary, his body only shook slightly and briefly as he stood in the air.

When He Yu Xi stabilized his footing, he spat out a mouthful of blood. After that, he said, “I surrender.”

He Yu Xi knew it was futile to continue the fight. With this attack, it was clear that w.a.n.g Xiong was stronger than him. If he continued the fight, he risked being so severely injured that he could no longer compete for the top ten places. If he failed, he would not be able to face the sect.

A commotion broke out as soon as He Yu Xi surrendered.

“w.a.n.g Xiong is strong!”

“To think we’re unaware of such a person in the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor!”

“I think w.a.n.g Xiong’s comparable to the two strongest people among the younger generation in the Feudal Lord Mansion!”

The strongest duo among the younger generation in the Feudal Lord Mansion was famous. After w.a.n.g Xiong’s performance, many people thought he was comparable to the duo, if not stronger.

Many high-ranking officials and young disciples from the Feudal Lord Mansion were also shocked by w.a.n.g Xiong’s strength.

On the contrary, the people from the Frozen Mountain Manor were clearly not surprised; they knew from the beginning that w.a.n.g Xiong would defeat He Yu Xi. They only looked delighted that w.a.n.g Xiong had made it into the top ten.

After w.a.n.g Xiong and He Yu Xi exchanged their tokens and returned to their respective places, Lin Dong Lai said, “Contestant number nine, you can enter the battlefield.”

Everyone turned and looked at the aloof Yang Qian Ye, who was standing near Duan Ling Tian, immediately.

Although the young disciples of the Pure Yang Sect did not have a close relations.h.i.+p with Yang Qian Ye, they still hoped he would bring glory to the sect even if they were not too optimistic about his chances. A few of them even tried to comfort him.

“Yang Qian Ye, do your best! Don’t feel pressured. Leave it to Duan Ling Tian to rank in the top ten!”

“That’s right! Don’t stress yourself out!”

Yang Qian Ye was expressionless as usual as he flew into the battlefield. When he landed, he said tonelessly without even looking at his opponent, “Partic.i.p.ant number 5.”

Everyone turned to look at a figure standing among the people from the Green Province Mansion’s Marionette Villa. Many of them knew this person even if he was only known by his surname.

“It’s Ximen from the Marionette Villa.”

Ximen flew into the battlefield. Similar to Yang Qian Ye, he was aloof and unapproachable.

The crowd naturally noticed the two opponents’ similarities as they stood across from each other.

The duo stared at each other silently until Lin Dong Lai announced the start of the fight. They made a move simultaneously.

Everyone was surprised when they saw that the two opponents had been holding back their strength previously.

The fight started fiercely.

Divine Energies and profundities from the laws clashed, and in just a moment, they had already exchanged more than 30 moves but were still evenly matched. After 100 moves, they decided to end the fight in a tie.

With this, the expressions of an elder from the Marionette Villa and the Pure Yang Sect’s Transcendence Elder, Yuan Han Jin, darkened immediately.

Previously, when the two opponents exchanged more than 50 moves, Yuan Han Jin had sent a Voice Transmission to Yang Qian Ye telling him to convince his opponent to end the fight in a tie so Yang Qian Ye could conserve his energy. However, Yang Qian Ye had disregarded his advice. In the end, he had no choice but to send a Voice Transmission to the elder from the Marionette Villa, hoping the other party would convince Ximen to end the fight in a tie.

The elder from the Marionette Villa was of the same mind as Yuan Han Jin and felt it was unnecessary to waste their energy by continuing the fight. This was especially important for Ximen since he might be challenged again soon by the seventh partic.i.p.ant.

The seventh partic.i.p.ant was Lin Yuan from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect who was speculated to be the external help that the Howling Flames Sect recruited.

The next person to issue a challenge was the eighth partic.i.p.ant. He was one of the two strongest people among the younger generation in the Feudal Lord Mansion.

However, at this moment, the young disciples from the Pure Yang Sect did not pay attention to the eighth partic.i.p.ant. Instead, their attention was focused on Yang Qian Ye. They looked at him in shock and disbelief. After all, the strength he displayed was not inferior to that of w.a.n.g Xiong.

“Yang Qian Ye, you’re amazing!”

“I didn’t expect you to be so strong, Yang Qian Ye! I didn’t think you had a chance of ranking in the top ten previously!”

“It seems like our Pure Yang Sect might have two partic.i.p.ants ranking in the top ten this time!”

The people from the Pure Yang Sect were in high spirits.

At the same time, He Yu Xi, who had fallen to the 11th place after he was defeated by w.a.n.g Xiong, looked at Yang Qian Ye with a grim expression as he thought to himself, ‘I’ve underestimated him. I’m no match for him at all.’

Initially, He Yu Xi planned to challenge Yang Qian Ye to rise to the ninth place since he did not think Yang Qian Ye was that strong.

At this time, on the battlefield…

“I surrender.”

Everyone was shocked when the eighth partic.i.p.ant surrendered. However, after a moment, they thought it was only natural. After all, at this time, the eighth partic.i.p.ant could only challenge Luo Yuan from the Divine Morning Mansion’s Autumn Leaves Sect, Lin Yuan from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect, or Tuo Ba Xiu from the Underworld Mansion’s Yuwen clan. The trio was among the strongest partic.i.p.ants at the Seven Mansions Feast this time.

The eighth partic.i.p.ant chose to surrender and conserve his energy since he knew he was no match for the trio.
