Chapter 895 Women’s War
"What...what's that expression?"
When Yanlan returned, she noticed that Yue Buqun was looking at her strangely.
"No, it's nothing!"
Yue Buqun tactfully made way for himself, gesturing with his hand, "Little Sword King, please sit down!"
"What's up with him?"
After sitting down, Yanlan turned slightly to the side and asked Zhao Mu in a low voice.
"I was just awestruck by your strength, nothing serious."
Zhao Mu casually offered an explanation and handed the melon seeds to Yan Lan, saying, "The melon seeds from the Heavenly Capital Demon Sunflower are rich and fragrant, and also have nourishing effects. They are quite good. Try them."
cough cough~
Yanlan tried it out and thought it was pretty good; the scene of people eating sunflower seeds on the spot became even more spectacular.
In the next quarter of an hour, Hu Qing, Mo Qiusheng, Jia Zheng, and Yu Ying returned one after another. In the first round, everyone won, but they all clearly noticed that their opponents were much stronger than usual.
Only Yue Buqun was lucky.
"So, we're being targeted? The qualifying draw is rigged!"
Mo Qiusheng said with a surprised look.
"Most likely it is."
Jia Zheng recalled the battle just now and said, "My opponent was a late-stage Four Extremes Realm cultivator. Logically speaking, I should have been able to defeat him easily, but he then took out a low-grade spiritual artifact."
"I could tell he was having trouble using it; I guess someone else lent it to him temporarily."
"Now that you mention it, Brother Jia, it seems that my opponent is also acting strangely."
After pondering for a moment while stroking his chin, Hu Qing interjected, "He's just a guy in the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm. It's obvious he doesn't have the strength to break into the top 1,000, but he actually took a pill to stimulate his potential. It's a completely unwise choice, but he still did it."
"what about me?"
Yue Buqun pointed to himself, somewhat bewildered, and said, "How come I defeated my opponent in just a few moves? Are you looking down on me?"
"it's not true!"
Yu Ying explained, "If everyone were being targeted, it would be too obvious. So, Fellow Daoist Yue was just lucky."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun was both amused and exasperated.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if we're targeted."
Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "Anyway, they're just a bunch of worthless scoundrels."
"Furthermore, after this round of targeting, the Cang family and the Yin family should also restrain themselves. After all, they are not stupid and can see that using this method is meaningless."
"Moreover, after a few rounds, the number of people advancing will decrease rapidly. At that time, it will not be so easy to manipulate things behind the scenes. Not only will the elders of the Yu family not allow it, but the Cang family and the Yin family will also stop such brainless behavior. It is completely despicable."
"Brother Zhao is right."
Jia Zheng grinned and said, "Might makes right. As long as I don't encounter someone at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, I can crush them all!"
Three days later.
After several rounds of competition, Zhao Mu made it into the top ten with overwhelming strength.
Yu Ying and Yan Lan were among those listed, and Cang Ming and Yin Yu unsurprisingly made it into the top ten.
Apart from the three of them, Jia Zheng and the others all suffered defeats one after another.
Mo Qiusheng was the fastest, but stopped at the top 1000. Hu Qing and Yue Buqun fell short of the top 100. Jia Zheng was the most powerful, but stopped at the top 10.
Apart from Zhao Mu, every one of the top ten was at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm, which is absolutely unprecedented in the Langhuan Secret Realm Trial Ranking Competition.
Because in previous events, the number of people achieving the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm was extremely small, perhaps only one in dozens or even hundreds of events would appear, but this time...
Two from the Yu family, three from the Cang family, and one from the Yin family.
Yu Ying and Yu Qing, Cang Ming, Cang Lie and Cang Xue Ling, and the Yin family is represented by Yin Yu, the only son.
The three factions of the Holy Land occupied six people.
Zhao Mu and Yan Lan each occupy one spot.
The remaining two were Liu Can from Snow Demon Valley and a rogue cultivator, a handsome but taciturn young man who called himself Sword Prince and was somewhat flamboyant.
This day marks the elimination of the top ten into five, determining the top five spots and the rankings from fifth to tenth place.
Unlike the previous rankings, to be precise, entering the top 100 will already grant you a certain level of rewards from the Three Lineages of the Holy Land.
"The match list is out!"
Yue Buqun returned with the information and said, "Brother Zhao, your opponent is Liu Can from Snow Demon Valley, Little Sword King's opponent is Yu Qing, Fairy Yu's opponent is Cang Lie, Cang Ming is facing his own Cang Xue Ling, and Yin Yu's opponent is that Sword Prince."
At first, when they heard the list, everyone thought there was another conspiracy. Everyone knew that Little Sword King was in the same camp as the Yu family. Putting Little Sword King against Yu Qing would be like a civil war.
But when I heard that Cang Ming would be fighting Cang Xue Ling, I changed my mind. It was still fair and just. It's just that there were too few participants, so it was normal to draw opponents from the same faction.
Unless it's an only child like Yin Yu.
“Cang Lie, this person was previously unknown, and in so many matches, no one has been able to truly force him to fight. We have no idea what methods he has. Yu Ying, you must be careful and not be careless.”
Zhao Mu gave a very serious reminder.
"Liu Can of Snow Demon Valley was quite famous before. Yanlan was known as the Little Sword King, while he was known as the Demon Blade. Outside of the three lineages of the Holy Land, in this generation, the two of them were the most respected in terms of swordsmanship."
Yu Ying then offered a reminder.
Upon hearing Liu Can mentioned, Jia Zheng took the initiative to speak, saying, "Brother Zhao, this Liu Can is indeed not to be underestimated. His sword is very strange. Although we are both sword cultivators, I feel like a child in front of him. I was defeated by him before, which is why I stopped at the top ten."
It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I couldn't even last ten moves against him; we were on completely different levels.
Jia Zheng is no ordinary late-stage Four Extremes Realm cultivator, and the inheritance of the Wind and Thunder Mansion is no ordinary thing either. His true strength is actually comparable to the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm. In other words, Liu Can of Snow Demon Valley is extraordinary.
Or rather, none of those who made it into the top ten were easy.
"Ok!"
Zhao Mu naturally wouldn't take Jia Zheng's reminder lightly. He had never met Liu Can in the Langhuan Secret Realm, but he had happened to see a match in the past two days. Liu Can's moves were clean and swift, and he didn't use a knife. He forced his opponent off the stage with just one punch.
In summary, it can be summed up in six words: strong ability and good character.
If it were someone like Cangmian, they would definitely not know their own strength when they attacked, and they would never have won in such a peaceful way. Their methods would have been absolutely ruthless.
"But this Yu Qing..."
Seeing Zhao Mu, Yu Ying shook her head with a light laugh and said, "Don't worry about it. Even if Little Sword King really wins against Yu Qing, it doesn't matter. Besides, it's not certain who will win or lose."
Someone had already advised her that this match should be kept brief and to the point, just a normal friendly spar.
"Do you think I'll lose?"
Upon hearing Yu Ying's words, Yan Lan suddenly spoke up.
"..."
Seeing the two women locked eyes, Jia Zheng and the others remained silent, wishing they could disappear into the shadows.
Zhao Mu felt somewhat helpless. These two had disliked each other for quite some time now.
Fortunately, just then, a call came from the arena.
"Where are Zhao Mu and Liu Can? Quickly step onto the stage! The first match of the top ten to top five competition is about to begin!"
