Death Grip
The two beams of sword light finally collided at this moment, and a massive storm instantly swept across the entire Training Ground.
Countless sharp sword energies rampaged through the arena. Xing Chen trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, taking advantage of this impact, along with the effects of the previously consumed Soul-Condensing Pill, Xing Chen unexpectedly broke through to the Yang Spirit Realm at this very moment.
On the opposite side, Ling Kaifeng was becoming increasingly weakened under the relentless sword energy. He had originally relied on the effects of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill to forcibly elevate himself to the Yang Spirit Realm. Now, the effects of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill had nearly been exhausted, causing Ling Kaifeng's cultivation level to regress back to Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm.
Naturally, being at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, he was unable to withstand such a powerful impact, and his body was almost instantly thrown away.
Seeing this situation, a look of joy appeared on Zhao Yuanlong's face, and the six elders of the Zhao Family beside him also showed expressions of delight.
The disciples of the Zhao Family below erupted into cheers. Previously, they had always been at the bottom, barely qualifying for the final competition. This time, however, Xing Chen represented their Zhao Family, not only making it to the final round but also defeating Ling Kaifeng, the top talent from Nebula Gate.
“Wind!” While the Zhao Family rejoiced, things were dire for Nebula Gate. The disciples of Nebula Gate wore expressions of disbelief; they could not accept that their strongest member, Ling Kaifeng, who was at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, had lost. Moreover, Nangong Xingyun quickly moved to Ling Kaifeng's side.
However, just as his hand made contact with Ling Kaifeng, a flash of blood light suddenly appeared in Ling Kaifeng's eyes, and he swung his sword towards him.
At this moment, although the effects of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill had faded, the characteristic of Bloodthirsty Frenzy it left behind had not disappeared. Ling Kaifeng was in a state where he recognized no one; anyone who approached him would be attacked.
Nangong Xingyun's expression changed slightly. He then pointed forward, and a beam of starlight shot out instantly, piercing into Ling Kaifeng's forehead. In an instant, Ling Kaifeng collapsed to the ground.
“Master, what happened to Ling Shixiong?” The disciples of Nebula Gate, startled by what they had just witnessed with Ling Kaifeng, hurriedly asked.
Instead of answering his disciples' questions, Nangong Xingyun darkly glared at those from the Zhao Family and at Xing Chen. He instructed the elders in his sect to take Ling Kaifeng away for treatment before returning to the viewing platform. A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire area.
"This match is void," Nangong Xingyun declared loudly from the viewing platform.
Zhao Yuanlong and several disciples from the Zhao Family were enraged upon hearing this.
Zhao Yuanlong immediately began to curse: "You're talking nonsense! Everyone here saw clearly that Xing Chen won fair and square. It was Ling Kaifeng who ingested the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill himself. On what grounds do you say this match doesn't count? Just because your Nebula Gate is the top power of Nebula Island, does that give you the right to act recklessly?"
"Nangong Sect Master, what you're doing is indeed excessive. Xing Chen won fairly and squarely, defeating Ling Kaifeng head-on. How can you now say this match doesn't count? What do you mean by that?" Huo Mingqing frowned. He was already dissatisfied with Nangong Xingyun for protecting Ling Kaifeng, and now Nangong Xingyun was openly challenging the rules established by the four major powers. He could no longer remain silent.
"Hmph, why shouldn't it count? Can't you see? The competition rules state that those in the Yang Spirit Realm cannot participate in battles. Now that this person has broken through to the Yang Spirit Realm, the previous battle naturally doesn't count," Nangong Xingyun said, his expression slightly changing as he spoke loudly.
"Then when Ling Kaifeng used the power of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill to reach the Yang Spirit Realm just now, why didn't you say that match didn't count? Now that you've seen Ling Kaifeng lose, you're suddenly claiming this battle doesn't count. What do you mean by that?" Zhao Yuanlong clenched his fists. If it weren't for his concerns about Nangong Xingyun's strength, he would have already attacked.
When Ling Kaifeng reached the Yang Spirit Realm using the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill earlier, he had proposed to stop the match, but Nangong Xingyun had outright refused, claiming there was no rule against using medicinal power in the competition. Ling Kaifeng was not considered to have violated any rules...
Now seeing Xing Chen achieve victory and Ling Kaifeng lose, Nangong Xingyun suddenly claimed this battle didn't count. Wasn't this just blatant bullying of the Zhao Family?
"Nangong Sect Master, we all saw clearly what happened in this match. Even if you have a point about those above the Yang Spirit Realm not being able to participate in battles, when Xing Chen delivered the final blow, he was still at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. He only reached Yang Spirit Realm after delivering that final blow."
"In other words, Ling Kaifeng lost to Xing Chen who was at Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm. This match is valid," Huo Mingqing also disapproved of Nangong Xingyun's unreasonable behavior and resolutely stood with Zhao Yuanlong.
"Fine, even if he truly won this time, with his current cultivation at Yang Spirit Realm, he is no longer qualified to continue participating in subsequent battles. Moreover, he must return Wind's Skybreaking Fan," Nangong Xingyun said through gritted teeth, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
"Nangong Sect Master, according to competition rules, the victor has the right to claim items taken from the loser. Since Skybreaking Fan was taken by Xing Chen, it belongs to him now," Zhao Yuanlong replied coldly.
If he had previously been somewhat wary of Nangong Xingyun, things were different now because Huo Mingqing from Fire Sect had aligned with him. Additionally, he had obtained Song Daohong's Soul-Tracking Needle; with that needle in hand, he believed Nangong Xingyun would not dare to act recklessly.
“Nangong Xingyun, if you want to take back the Skybreaking Fan from me, you might as well wait until the sun rises in the west; otherwise, don't even think about it.” At that moment, Xing Chen's cold gaze turned towards the viewing platform. The conversation between Nangong Xingyun and the others was loud enough for almost everyone present to hear.
Originally, Xing Chen had no intention of speaking up, but the fact that Nangong Xingyun wanted to take back the Skybreaking Fan from him left no room for negotiation.
“The Skybreaking Fan originally belongs to Wind. It is only right for me to reclaim it. As for the competition rules, those were set for individuals below the Yang Spirit Realm. Now that he has reached the Yang Po First Level, they no longer apply,” Nangong Xingyun said without a hint of embarrassment.
“Nangong Xingyun, do you have no shame? How can you say such shameless things? You’ve completely disgraced Nebula Gate,” Zhao Yuanlong said, trembling with anger. Originally, since Xing Chen was not a member of their family, he had no obligation to protect him so fiercely.
However, Nangong Xingyun's words were infuriating, and he even attempted to deny the ranking that Zhao Family had worked hard to achieve. This compelled Zhao Yuanlong to confront him.
“I’m merely stating a fact; what’s there to be ashamed of? Am I wrong?” Nangong Xingyun replied calmly, unfazed.
“Fine, if you want the Skybreaking Fan back, that’s fine. But first, you must let us kill Ling Kaifeng. This kid has taken the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill and cannot be left alive,” Zhao Yuanlong suddenly shifted his tone, targeting Ling Kaifeng.
“Zhao Yuanlong, I’ve already passed this matter. You don’t need to worry about Wind; I will personally suppress him,” Nangong Xingyun said with a slight change in expression.
“In that case, the matter concerning Xing Chen is none of your business. Even if it were to be addressed, it would be Snow Wind Island’s issue and has nothing to do with you, Nangong Xingyun,” Zhao Yuanlong sneered mockingly.
Since you, Nangong Xingyun, refuse to allow us to kill Ling Kaifeng, then we certainly won’t let you act recklessly regarding Xing Chen.
“Zhao Yuanlong, it seems you are determined to oppose me? Since this kid is from Snow Wind Island, he is an outsider and must not be spared!” A murderous intent flashed in Nangong Xingyun's eyes as he suddenly moved to strike at Xing Chen.
Bang!
A loud explosion echoed in the air as Nangong Xingyun's advancing figure abruptly halted. Then Huo Mingqing appeared directly in front of him.
"If according to the Nangong Sect Master's method, Ling Kaifeng has taken the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, he will definitely become a notorious villain in the future, and cannot be left alive. If you want to take action against Xing Chen from Snow Wind Island, then you must first hand over Ling Kaifeng. Once I kill Ling Kaifeng, I will absolutely not obstruct you," Huo Mingqing said calmly as he looked at Nangong Xingyun.
"You all want to go against my Nebula Gate! Song Family Head, what do you think?" Nangong Xingyun took a deep breath, forcibly calming his anger, and turned to look at Song Daohong.
"I think the words of Fire Sect Master and Zhao Family Head make sense. Nangong Sect Master, you should reconsider!" After a moment of contemplation, Song Daohong replied.
Originally, Song Daohong wanted to support Nangong Xingyun, but considering the current situation was unfavorable for him, he estimated that even if he joined, it wouldn't change much. Moreover, since Zhao Yuanlong had obtained his Soul-Tracking Needle, it was not impossible for him to kill Nangong Xingyun unexpectedly.
Thus, after weighing the options, Song Daohong chose to side with Zhao Yuanlong and Huo Mingqing.
"Nangong Sect Master, you now have two choices. First, let the competition continue to determine the final rankings of the major forces. Afterwards, we will jointly suppress Ling Kaifeng. Second, hand over Ling Kaifeng for us to kill. After that, whatever you want to do, I, Huo Mingqing, guarantee I will not interfere."
Huo Mingqing stared intently at Nangong Xingyun. However, despite his words, he was almost certain that Nangong Xingyun would choose the first option. He would never hand over Ling Kaifeng to his death.
