Chapter 1221: Peachy Takes the Arena Stage
Chapter 1221: Peachy Takes the Arena Stage
…
The Dragon Saint had expressed admiration with his first words and then directly sent the infamous East Sea’s Black Armor with his later words. Coupled with his previous questions, there was no doubt that the wooden box was some kind of incomparably precious treasure.
It was even enough to move a True Saint level powerhouse!
Black Armor stood up and bowed. Behind his helmet, his eyes were filled with dignity as he looked at Lian Yi.
Shua –
He appeared on the arena stage with a flicker. His black armor clanged against itself as black streams of light continuously converged towards his palm.
Seeing this sight, the crowd suddenly felt as if a bucket of ice cold water had been poured over their burning hot hearts.
They had already seen Black Armor’s strength. Yet, when facing Lian Yi, he had to take out his greatest combat strength.
This proved that Black Armor had no confidence in himself. It could even be said that he was in a weak position. This was because even though Lian Yi hadn’t done anything at all, Black Armor had prepared his greatest power.
This was the disparity between the two!
If it were them, would they be stronger than Black Armor?
Treasures were good, but a person had to have the strength to obtain them. Otherwise, if they stepped onto the arena, with the Western Mountain’s cruel and overbearing ways, they would be lucky to escape with broken bones and torn muscles.
Behind the crystal wall, the Dragon Saint didn’t feel any shame at Black Armor’s actions. On the contrary, there was admiration in the giant dragon eyes. He thought that this kid Black Armor really was smart. If he hadn’t done this, this fight would be over too quickly and there would be nothing to see.
Now…it was about 30 to 70.
30% he could win. 70% he couldn’t win.
The 30% was due to the fact that Black Armor’s condition was special and he was also borrowing the power of an external object.
But even with these odds, the Dragon Saint had made him step forwards. The reason was simple. The wooden box Lian Yi took out was extremely precious.
How to put it? If today’s wooden box wasn’t taken out in a place where everyone was watching, the Dragon Saint wouldn’t have minded seizing it himself.
Lian Yi smiled, “East Sea’s Black Armor possesses outstanding strength and I have long wanted to ask him for advice. I must thank the Lord Dragon Saint for helping me fulfill this long-held wish of mine.”
He turned and passed the wooden box to the Sly Fate Clan cultivator. “Hold this box. From now on, no matter who it is, as long as they can defeat me then give the wooden box to them.”
The Sly Fate Clan cultivator took a deep breath and received the wooden box with both hands. Looking carefully, his hands were shaking.
Lian Yi turned and gradually stepped onto the arena. His speed was slow, but no one thought he was delaying for time.
Because as he did, his aura grew stronger and stronger, like a vicious great beast that was slowly awakening from slumber.
Bang –
Bang –
His footsteps were light and he was in a relatively relaxed state as he walked up.
But each step he took was like a great weight crashing into the arena, the shockwaves spreading outwards.
Ripples began to appear in the spatial barrier formed by the Dragon Saint to contain the arena. Although they were weak, like a breeze brushing across a lake’s surface, this sight caused everyone to subconsciously hold their breath.
It had to be known that Lian Yi hadn’t attacked yet. At most, what he did was voluntarily dissipating the strength gathered within him.
Yet, this was able to shake the spatial barrier formed by the Dragon Saint…Western Mountain’s Lian Yi really did live up to the rumors. He was terrifyingly strong!
Black Armor’s eyes became increasingly dignified, and the black light that gathered in his hand became sharper and richer. The space surrounding the black light couldn’t withstand it and started to crack all over.
But this didn’t give Black Armor any more sense of security. As he felt the immense pressure that fell down on him like falling mountains and rivers, he did his best to maintain a straight posture and not lower his head.
They hadn’t fought yet, but Black Armor was clear that he wasn’t Lian Yi’s match. As time passed, he gathered more and more strength, but Lian Yi was able to erupt with an even more tyrannical aura.
Moreover, the increase was even faster than his own!
Bang –
The entire arena fiercely shook as Lian Yi landed. The moment he did, Black Armor attacked. He couldn’t wait any longer, otherwise as Lian Yi’s aura grew stronger and stronger, he would lose the qualifications to make a move.
Black light cut across space. Then, everyone could hear a dull thumping sound as well as a bit of difficulty, like a sharp knife cutting through a thick piece of cowhide.
The knife was sharp, however the cowhide wasn’t just one layer, but several layers stacked upon each other, thus the reason for the sound when the knife tore into it.
Lian Yi’s eyes shined with acclaim. The East Sea’s Black Armor lived up to his reputation.
He had the qualifications for him to attack!
That’s right, Black Armor’s all-out attack only had the qualifications for him to make a counterattack. Otherwise, with his aura he would have been able to completely suppress his opponent!
Welcoming the black light, Lian Yi raised a fist and punched outwards. His fist was straight without anything fancy, and the speed was similar to when he walked forward.
Although it seemed slow, it was actually fast to the extreme. But between how fast and slow it was, some transformation occurred.
Bang –
A fist fell into space, like a meteor crashing into the sea. The moment it struck, an unfathomable destructive strength was released.
This strength was great, sweeping across all directions and setting off countless waves.
It was unstoppable, irresistible…annihilating everything it swept through!
Bang –
Black Armor flew back, blood gushing from his nose and mouth. Large tearing marks appeared on his black armor. Blood surged out, soaking his armor red in the blink of an eye. When he slammed into the spatial barrier, he sunk in and formed a deep hollow.
Drip –
Drip –
The hall fell deathly silent. The only sound was that of his blood dripping to the ground.
It was especially clear!
Everyone’s eyes widened, feeling that this scene in front of them was familiar. Before, when Qin Yu beat Xu Shi, it was basically like this.
But Xu Shi was Xu Shi and Black Armor was Black Armor. The disparity of strength between the two of them was so great that there was almost no comparing them. Yet these two, even with the difference in their strengths, ended up with almost the exact same fate.
They had been routed by a single punch, unable to summon the strength to fight back!
Of course, the difference was that after Xu Shi was left bloodied, he pretended to faint. As for Black Armor, he struggled and continued to fight.
His wounds were severe and as he struggled, more and more blood spewed out. One could even hear the sounds of shattered flesh and bones twisting within his body, emitting a grating friction sound as he moved.
The Dragon Saint calmly said, “Black Armor, you aren’t his match. Go and restore yourself.”
As he spoke he waved a claw. The spatial barrier twisted and Black Armor vanished from sight.
The power of space!
Moreover, this was almost the complete Space Laws. When displayed through the hands of a Saint, it was an eye-opening sight.
Lian Yi withdrew his hand and bowed, “Black Armor’s strength is tyrannical and it was difficult for me to hold back during our match. I ask the Lord Dragon Saint to forgive me.”
The Dragon Saint said, “Since he stepped onto the arena, he wanted your treasure. If his technique is inferior to yours, there is nothing to blame you for.”
He paused and sighed, “Unfortunately my Yao’er is in seclusion, otherwise I would have him try to seize your wooden box. Very well, since this thing has no fortune with the East Sea, I shall simply be an observer. Anyone who wishes to take the arena stage can do so on their own.”
Behind the crystal wall, the Dragon Saint expressed that he had no intention of interfering. But even so, the hall remained silent. Everyone looked at each other, completely speechless.
Even the strong Black Armor had been defeated in a single punch. They had all seen this with their own eyes, so who would dare step up to be abused like that? Forget it, forget it, the Western Mountain’s treasure was good, but their lives were more important. There was no need to take such risks.
However, although they didn’t dare to go up, what about Qin Yu? Perhaps he was already frightened to the point where he urinated in his pants! It seemed that Lian Yi’s plan was going to fail in the end.
Thinking of this, everyone inexplicably relaxed and felt a bit better. They probably understood it as…although we are all cowardly, I’m not the most embarrassed one here.
They subconsciously glanced over and felt a little relieved. Then, everyone froze and their eyes widened with shock. This appearance was worrying. It seemed that if they continued to stare like this, their eyeballs would pop out and fall onto the ground.
This was because Peachy had stepped forward!
How could this be?
Qin Yu hadn’t made a single move, but she was going to take the stage. This was beyond everyone’s expectations.
It seemed that in everyone’s memories, this was the first time that Peachy was going to fight in public!
As they carefully thought over it, they confirmed that this was true!
But why? Did Peachy guess that Lian Yi’s target was Qin Yu, and she stepped forward because she was worried he would get hurt? This caused everyone to feel a sense of bitterness and also anticipation!
As juniors, they didn’t know much about the grievances between the Western Mountain and the peach garden. But even by just listening to a few words from their Elders, they could taste the complicated twists and turns within.
Without a doubt, if there was a list of Holy Lands in the vast brightness world that had the worst relationships with each other, the Western Mountain and the peach garden would be ranked in the top three.
Now, Peachy was going to fight Lian Yi. This could be considered a frontal collision between the two Holy Lands.
Lian Yi was strong. After defeating Black Armor, it could be seen he was strong to the point of leaving everyone desperate.
But Peachy…although she had never publicly fought, she was the Spring Master’s daughter and was destined to be unfathomably strong. Moreover, after witnessing the match just now, she still dared to go forward. This proved how confident she was in her strength.
On the arena stage, Lian Yi furrowed his eyebrows and forced a smile, “Junior-apprentice sister Peachy, why are you doing this? If you want the wooden box, as long as you ask, I will give it to you.”
Peachy was expressionless, “If I defeat you, it is mine.”
Lian Yi was silent for a time, “Junior-apprentice sister, I can give you the wooden box, but I cannot lose. After all, if you and I are both on stage, then the meaning becomes different.”
Peachy said, “A battle on the arena stage is naturally decided by our respective skills.” As she spoke she flew onto the arena stage. Her dress fluttered around her as she did, giving her a graceful bearing and celestial appearance.
Pa –
As she lightly landed on the arena, she bowed to the Dragon Saint. Then, she lifted a hand and pointed forward.
Hum –
Space shook and a peach blossom appeared.
This was…the Space Laws!
