Chapter 58: Lording Over Others
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Ten Devils’ cultivation was extraordinarily high, much more so than the students ranked in the top ten of the A class.
Firstly, it was because the Ten Devils were put through life and death massacres over the years, and their battle experiences were multiple times that of the martial pavilion’s geniuses.
Secondly, they enjoyed the rich resources that the bandits had seized, having access to martial skills and spirit medicine.contemporary romance
Half a year ago.
When they had bathed Whitecloud City in blood, the Ten Devils had crossed paths with the ten proud talents of the Whitecloud City’s martial pavilion.
The result was that the proud talents from the Whitecloud City suffered an utter defeat.
This was when Leng Tianya, the one ranked first amongst the Ten Devils, hadn’t even made a move!
This showed how powerful the Ten Devils were!
If the ten proud talents from the Lone Cloud City were to fight against the Ten Devils, they might end up in a worse plight.
It was because the Whitecloud City’s martial pavilion was known to be stronger than the Lone Cloud City’s.
The Yunluo Sacred Leaf they mentioned was unique to the Whitecloud City.
This leaf came from an ancient tree that was 800 years old. It would only grow ten fresh leaves every ten years.
The leaves contained an astonishing amount of essence qi, and taking just one of them could allow one to break through to the early phase of the medium constellation stage within a short period. They were said to be divine items.
However, this leaf would only be effective when taken for the first time.
It was useless to take more of it.
Right now, the Yunluo Sacred Leaf was kept in the training ground at the center of the island.
It was very easy to obtain. You would only need to prove that you were stronger than the others!
Xia Qingchen stroked the red cowl on his face. “Since you obstruct my cultivation, then I’ll take your Yunluo Sacred Leaf as compensation!”
With a tap of his foot, Xia Qingchen rapidly arrived at the training ground.
When he went there, the examination was about to start.
Several tens of figures stood together, looking toward the training ground.
There were a total of seven chairs in the center, with a Red Devil seated on each chair.
The one in the center was a young man at the third fold-level of the medium constellation stage.
“It seems that the strongest one is the fourth rank in the Red-Cowls Ten Devils, Zhao Tianfei!”
“En, the top three in the Ten Devils have already surpassed the third fold-level of the medium constellation stage. The Yunluo Sacred Leaves are ineffective on them. Therefore, they didn’t take part in this competition, allowing Zhao Tianfei to have the chance to steal the limelight!”
Zhao Tianfei sat down in an imposing manner, glancing at the ten leaves on the stone table that looked as if they were made of jade.
Those were the Yunluo Sacred Leaves that they were fighting for this time around.
The rules for the competition would be for the other people to challenge one of the seven Ten Devils.
Those who could win had the rights to take away a single leaf.
If no one could win, then the seven of them would split the ten leaves amongst themselves.
Zhao Tianfei looked around at the others, speaking in an imposing manner. “All the proud talents in every martial pavilion are just good-for-nothings who can’t even take a single blow. We, the Red-Cowls, are the ones who are great talents!”
Everyone clapped and laughed out loud, clearly showing despise toward the proud talents from the various cities’ martial pavilions.
Compared to those flowers that grew up in greenhouses, they were the great talents!
“Does any great talent here wish to challenge us seven Devils?” Zhao Tianfei bellowed in a loud voice, announcing the start of the competition!
Instantly, a ferocious-looking young bandit walked up, grinning and said, “I’m untalented and wish to challenge Skypoison Hand Zhao Yun, who is ranked tenth!”
Zhao Yun, who was seated at the end, couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s really bad to be ranked in tenth place. Everyone wants to try to step down on me! Alright, I’ll play with you!” Zhao Yun jumped out and immediately sparred with the challenger.
He was at the first fold-level of the medium constellation stage and had also learned a medium-grade yellow-tier martial skill. He could also be said to have great battle experience.
In terms of strength, it was said that someone of Zhao Tianyu’s caliber could be ranked in the top eight of the Lone Cloud City’s martial pavilion!
After three rounds.
The challenger who was of the same cultivation level let out an agonizing cry. He was struck with a poison palm attack in the chest and sent flying out. He lay on the ground, spurting foam from his mouth.
“Can’t stand up to a fight! Next!” Not long later, another challenger went up.
However, the results were the same. The person was defeated within three moves!
After ten consecutive attempts, the capable ones out of the many young experts had already gone up. However, all of them were defeated within three moves, without a single exception.
“This is the strength of the Ten Devils. Even the one ranked in last place has a huge gap with ordinary people.”
“There’s no hope. All ten Yunluo Sacred Leaves will belong to the seven Devils.”
Zhao Yun looked around coldly, and after ascertaining that no one else was coming forth, he turned back spiritedly.
Swoosh——
At this moment, a calm voice rang out, “One can lord over others with just this bit of strength? It seems that the Ten Devils are nothing much either!” Zhao Yun turned and looked toward Xia Qingchen, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest and came walking out. Zhao Yun’s brows raised. “There’s still another person who isn’t afraid of death? Sure, come over. I’ll end it within three moves!”
“Three moves? I think that’s not necessary,” Xia Qingchen said calmly.
Zhao Yun couldn’t help but smiled and said, “You can’t even take three blows? Since you don’t have the confidence in yourself, why would you dare to jump out?”
“Alright, I’ll give in to you for one to two moves. We’re all brothers. I don’t want to let you look too bad.”
Give in?
Xia Qingchen smiled, not saying a word. He charged forth with his ordinary movement-type martial skill at a rate of 20 feet per step.
Zhao Yun laughed. “Your movements aren’t bad!”
He casually turned his body, thinking that he’d be able to dodge Xia Qingchen’s attack easily.
What he didn’t expect was that at the instant they crossed paths, Xia Qingchen’s movements suddenly became twice as fast!
A palm attack struck out toward his chest.
The fierce and tremendous force slapped on his chest, causing him to fall to the ground, spurting out blood.
Xia Qingchen came to a stop and mumbled, “I already said that I won’t even need to take three moves to defeat you, yet you’re still giving in to me? Seriously!” Then, in accordance with the rules, he went to the center and took a single leaf.
Zhao Yun wiped off the blood from his mouth, unwilling to accept this result. “I was just too careless!”
It was no joke for the Ten Devils to be defeated by other bandits. His status as one of the Ten Devils might be taken away from him.
“The results will be the same no matter if you’re careless or not,” Xia Qingchen said, not even turning back.
“Is that so? Then do you dare to fight another round with me?” Zhao Yun pushed him.
Xia Qingchen asked, “If you were to lose again, can I take another Yunluo Sacred Leaf?”
“This…”
Zhao Yun threw a pleading gaze toward Zhao Tianfei.
The latter gave it some thought before nodding. The Ten Devils’ reputation wasn’t to be soiled.
Zhao Yun was given another chance to defeat Xia Qingchen.
“Then, come!” Xia Qingchen stood on the spot, not moving.
How could Zhao Yun still dare to let down his guard?
He mobilized all of his inner force, martial skills, and movement-type martial skills to an extreme, tapping out a finger that contained great poison toward Xia Qingchen’s forehead. “Kill!”
Xia Qingchen still stood on the spot, facing the attack.
“Nine Plum Blossoms Bloomed!”
Nine streams of inner force that was far stronger than Zhao Yun’s shot out from Xia Qingchen’s body, hitting Zhao Yun in the chest.
Zhao Yun, who charged over rapidly, instantly flew backward at an even faster rate. He spurted out blood, falling to the ground and convulsing non-stop.
A series of cold gasps immediately rang out amongst the spectators.
No one would have expected for Zhao Yun to go all out, yet still was unable to take a single blow from the other guy!
“I already said that the results would be the same.” Xia Qingchen turned and took another Yunluo Sacred Leaf.
Thereafter, he looked toward the remaining six Devils, saying, “It’s best to speak less arrogant words. There’s always someone stronger out there. Amongst us ordinary bandits, there are also existences that you Ten Devils can’t afford to offend!”
Clap clap clap——
All the other bandits clapped and cheered.
The Ten Devils took up most of the cultivating resources, and this had made ordinary bandits feel very jealous for quite a while.
Zhao Tianfei’s countenance sank and he said calmly, “You can continue to challenge us until you initiate to stop. With each victory, you can take one Yunluo Sacred Leaf.”
The Ten Devils weren’t to be humiliated!
They mustn’t allow Xia Qingchen to leave just like that. Otherwise, their strength as the Ten Devils would be doubted.
