Chapter 91

When Jiang Chen's long sword pierced Ling Ao's chest, the entire scene fell silent. Everyone widened their eyes and held their breath, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.

Then, a wave of commotion followed!

"My god, what did I just see? He killed Ling Ao, he actually killed Ling Ao."

"Bold to the extreme, the Southern and Northern Dynasties had already spoken to stop him, but he still killed Ling Ao. He didn't even give Ling Ao a chance to admit defeat, it's utterly insane."

"Too ruthless, simply brutal. I've lived this long and finally met a real tough guy. I admire him."

"Too exciting, the representative of the Burning Heaven Pavilion's outer disciples, Ling Ao, was killed on the battle platform. This is a huge loss for the Burning Heaven Pavilion. However, Jiang Chen's actions weren't wrong. Before, Ling Ao was full of killing intent and didn't plan to let Jiang Chen off easily. Since he was determined to kill Jiang Chen, shouldn't Jiang Chen be allowed to kill him? This is a life-or-death battle platform; once you step up, your fate is in your own hands. Moreover, Jiang Chen has already offended the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Given their character, they wouldn't let it go. So, whether Jiang Chen kills Ling Ao or not, his fate won't change. His courage to kill Ling Ao, on the contrary, earns him respect."

...

The entire square was in an uproar. Such a scene was incredibly thrilling. The first genius of the Burning Heaven Pavilion's outer disciples was killed, which was a huge shock.

At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Chen changed. Besides admiration, there was also a hint of fear. He was undoubtedly a ruthless person.

Below the battle platform, Han Yan, Li Wushuang, and Yi Qingzi's expressions truly changed. Although they had already placed Jiang Chen in a high position, especially Han Yan, who even thought Jiang Chen could fight Ling Ao to a draw, they never expected Jiang Chen to use such a fierce, decisive, and ruthless method to directly take down Ling Ao.

"Who is this guy, what's his background?"

Han Yan smiled bitterly. After truly witnessing Jiang Chen's abilities, he couldn't help but think back to the day at the Silver Moon Tower. Now, it seemed that even if he hadn't helped Jiang Chen that day, Jiang Chen still had the ability to escape unscathed.

Of course, if the Little Demon King knew what Jiang Chen did to Silver Moon City after he left, he would probably spew a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, the big yellow dog strutted around arrogantly, whistling at those with grim faces who had placed bets, making people want to skin the dog alive.

"What are you so proud of? The competition isn't over yet, you just killed Ling Ao."

"That's right, Ling Ao, the Little Demon King, and Li Wushuang are not on the same level. Dead dog, what are you so proud of? When that kid loses, you'll have to spit out all the human essence pills."

The crowd said viciously.

"Is that so? Since you're so confident, let's bet again. This time, one to one hundred."

The big yellow dog bared its teeth at the crowd: "Who else wants to bet? Hurry up and place your bets, one to one hundred. Miss this chance and you won't get another."

Yan Chenyu giggled on the side, the black-hearted dog was truly shameless.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the big yellow dog tried to incite them, no one took the bait this time. The crowd wasn't stupid. After witnessing Jiang Chen's true abilities, they didn't dare to place bets anymore. Even Ling Ao was killed, and whether the Little Demon King and Li Wushuang could defeat Jiang Chen was uncertain.

We can't be fooled by this dog again. Even if it's one to one thousand, we won't do it. This dog is too cunning.

On the battle platform, Ling Ao had already died. Jiang Chen slowly pulled out his long sword, and Ling Ao's body fell to the platform. A generation of genius, thus fell.

The Southern and Northern Dynasties had a grim expression, his face was extremely dark, and a barely concealed killing intent surged towards Jiang Chen.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me? You dare to defy my words."

The Southern and Northern Dynasties' voice was cold, making people feel as if they were at the bottom of a valley. Everyone could see that this world-renowned genius was truly angry. Before Jiang Chen killed Ling Ao, the Southern and Northern Dynasties did indeed say to stop.

Jiang Chen calmly flicked the blood off his long sword and met the Southern and Northern Dynasties' gaze without fear: "Why should I listen to you? Can you control the battle platform in the competition? Ling Ao didn't admit defeat, so I had the right to kill him. What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Chen's words left the Southern and Northern Dynasties speechless. Indeed, although he was a key figure in the competition, he couldn't interfere with its progress. Since Ling Ao didn't admit defeat, Jiang Chen had the right to kill him.

"Jiang Chen is right, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Qi Prefecture competition is fair and open. You have no right to stop Jiang Chen from killing Ling Ao."

Guan Yiyun spoke up. Although he wasn't a match for the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as a representative of the Xuan Yi Sect, he still dared to speak.

"Fine, the competition continues."

The Southern and Northern Dynasties said indifferently, not looking at Jiang Chen again. However, everyone could see that he was truly angry. After the competition, he wouldn't let it go.

Jiang Chen turned and jumped off the battle platform. A disciple of the Burning Heaven Pavilion ran up to carry Ling Ao's body down. The disciple glared at Jiang Chen with hatred as he came down.

Today, the Burning Heaven Pavilion suffered a huge loss. Ling Ao was exceptionally talented and would soon reach the Heaven Pill Realm and advance to the inner sect. Given time, although his achievements might not match the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he could still stand out in the inner sect, far surpassing the talents of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, ten late-stage Human Pill Realm geniuses were not as precious to the Burning Heaven Pavilion as one Ling Ao.

The battle had now entered the main event. Most people had already been eliminated, leaving only the elites of the elites, the geniuses of the geniuses.

Below the battle platform, only four people remained: Jiang Chen, Han Yan, Li Wushuang, and Yi Qingzi.

This lineup was both exciting and sigh-inducing. According to people's previous expectations, the four standing here should have been Ling Ao and the others. Now, with Ling Ao dead, a dark horse had taken his place, which was a kind of irony for the four major sects.

"Continue drawing lots."

The Southern and Northern Dynasties waved and threw out four wooden plaques, each with the numbers 'one' and 'two' written on them. The four people each grabbed a plaque. Jiang Chen opened his and saw the number 'one'.

Two figures simultaneously jumped onto the battle platform: Jiang Chen in white and Yi Qingzi, who was barely dressed. Yi Qingzi was enchanting, and every movement and smile was hard to resist.

Since Jiang Chen and Yi Qingzi were paired together, it was natural that the Little Demon King and Li Wushuang, who were always rivals, were paired together and jumped onto the second battle platform.

"This is going to be exciting. None of these four are pushovers, especially the Little Demon King and Li Wushuang. Both have powerful trump cards, it's truly something to look forward to."

Someone was extremely excited. Many people in the audience had come to the competition for the Little Demon King and Li Wushuang. Now that the two were finally facing off, it would surely be a fierce battle.

"Who do you think will win?"

"The Little Demon King and Li Wushuang each have their strengths, it's hard to say who will win. But Yi Qingzi, that seductive woman, is probably no match for Jiang Chen. Yi Qingzi is at most on par with Ling Ao. If Jiang Chen could kill Ling Ao effortlessly, he could probably kill Yi Qingzi easily too."

"But that's not certain. The seduction techniques of the Bliss Valley are unparalleled. As the saying goes, heroes can't resist the allure of beauty. Yi Qingzi's seduction and charm are not something ordinary men can withstand."

...

The discussions were endless. Now, the Qi Prefecture competition had truly entered its main event. The confrontation of four powerful geniuses made people hold their breath.

On the first battle platform, Yi Qingzi and Jiang Chen stood facing each other. Yi Qingzi was graceful and supple, her eyes full of allure as she sized up Jiang Chen. After a moment, she sighed helplessly and said to Jiang Chen, "Brother Jiang, you are truly formidable. I, Yi Qingzi, admit defeat."

Yi Qingzi directly admitted defeat without even fighting. What was going on? Everyone was stunned.

"What's happening? Why did Yi Qingzi admit defeat without even a fight?"

"What kind of magic does this Jiang Chen have that even a genius from the Bliss Valley admits defeat?"

The square was in an uproar. Many people didn't understand. Even if Yi Qingzi wasn't the best, she shouldn't admit defeat without a fight.

Jiang Chen bowed to Yi Qingzi and smiled calmly. Others didn't know why she admitted defeat, but he did.

Yi Qingzi wasn't one to admit defeat without a fight. The moment she stepped onto the platform, she secretly used her seduction technique on Jiang Chen, trying to bewitch him. However, to her surprise, her seduction had no effect on Jiang Chen. His mental fortitude was far stronger than she imagined.

This was the real reason Yi Qingzi admitted defeat. Her true combat strength was on par with Ling Ao. Her only chance of victory was through her seduction. If her seduction didn't work, there was no point in fighting.

Moreover, Yi Qingzi had personally witnessed Jiang Chen's abilities. He didn't seem like someone who would spare a woman. If he killed her in the battle, it would be a waste.

"Hehe, Brother Jiang, you are truly a god. If you have time, come to the Bliss Valley and find me. Whatever you ask, I will fulfill."

Yi Qingzi giggled and jumped off the platform, leaving a blatant invitation.

Moreover, she admitted defeat so calmly and happily, something only someone from the Bliss Valley could do.

Jiang Chen didn't even look at Yi Qingzi. For such a vulgar woman, he never gave her a second glance. Compared to Yan Chenyu, the women of the Bliss Valley were like country chickens.

"Damn, this Jiang Chen might really win first place. I bet two hundred human essence pills, I'm really being scammed by this dog."

"I think Jiang Chen has a good chance of winning first place. The battle between the Little Demon King and Li Wushuang will surely result in both being injured. Whoever wins, their combat strength will be greatly reduced, and they won't be a match for the energetic Jiang Chen."

"Damn, I'm being scammed by that dog. I hope there's a turn of events, or I'll be in big trouble."

Those who had placed bets were depressed, banging their heads on the ground.
