Chapter 89

"Xiaotian, this is from Senior Wuji and Brother Zhao Mu." On the back of the Piaoling Ray, Ningning took out a long box and handed it to Yang Dingtian.

The box felt icy to the touch, it was the same one that had previously contained the supreme Blood Black Gold. However, that supreme Blood Black Gold sword had already been destroyed.

Opening the box, Yang Dingtian immediately saw a grotesque and fierce-looking sword lying inside. A powerful and violent aura rushed out, as if it were about to devour someone at any moment. On the hilt, two demonic cores were tightly entwined: one blue, which should be from a thousand-year-old night owl, and one red, which should be from the Inferno Kirin in the original supreme Blood Black Gold sword. Both cores were damaged, but they looked fierce, as if they were trying to devour each other.

"What's going on?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Brother Zhao Mu found this sword on the ground. Senior Wuji said it is the remnant of the supreme Blood Black Gold sword, combined with the claw of a thousand-year-old night owl, mystic ice iron, and the demonic cores of the night owl and the Inferno Kirin, all fused together under a powerful energy," Ximen Ningning said. "They are giving this sword to you. They were afraid you wouldn't accept it, so they asked me to pass it to you."

"How can I accept this? This is something from the Terror Manor. I have already successfully broken through, how can I still be greedy and accept such a powerful divine weapon?" Yang Dingtian said.

Indeed, this was a divine weapon. Each of the four components that made up this sword was extremely rare. Moreover, the four components were fused together in a great transformation, making it incredibly powerful.

Ningning said, "This sword contains a powerful and violent energy. Anyone who touches it will be counterattacked, even a Martial Ancestor level expert can't withstand it. Brother Zhao Mu was hit and flew out, spitting blood. Senior Wuji said that only you can use this sword."

After hearing this, Yang Dingtian couldn't help but reach out to grab the strange sword. At this moment, it was indeed faintly visible that the main shape of the blade was still similar to the claw of a night owl, looking very fierce and sharp.

"Be careful, this is just what Senior Wuji said. The counterattack energy is very powerful," Ningning said.

Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and directly reached out to grab the strange blade.

Instantly, an incredibly powerful and violent aura surged out, like an ocean, as if it were about to tear Yang Dingtian into pieces. Yang Dingtian's body instantly turned cold, as if he were about to die.

But almost instantly, this violent aura completely subsided, retreating back into the two demonic cores, and the entire strange blade became silent.

In this short moment, Yang Dingtian was drenched in cold sweat.

"Such a powerful sword spirit, such a monstrous sword spirit..." suddenly, Dongfang Niemi said in Yang Dingtian's mind.

"Master, is there a sword spirit in this sword?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Yes, a very, very powerful sword spirit, and it is a mindless, uncontrollable sword spirit," Dongfang Niemi said. "This sword spirit is formed by the fusion of the incomplete martial souls of the thousand-year-old night owl and the Inferno Kirin. You have their energy in your body, so you can use this sword. You can even summon the sword spirit inside, but you must never do this."

"Why?" Yang Dingtian asked.

"Your mental power is too weak, while this sword spirit is incredibly powerful but has no consciousness. The result of controlling a powerful force with a weak one is complete soul destruction," Dongfang Niemi said. "Moreover, it will have a fatal impact on your future cultivation of the sword spirit!"

Cultivating a sword spirit is the most important thing for Yang Dingtian, and it absolutely cannot be affected!

"I understand, Master. I won't use this sword. I'll return it to the Terror Manor," Yang Dingtian said.

"That's not necessary. Even without summoning the sword spirit inside, this sword itself is a very powerful divine weapon, with a 20% increase in mystic energy. It is a powerful divine weapon, and even as a regular weapon, it is very strong," Dongfang Niemi said. "Use this strange sword until you forge your sword spirit in the Fire Cloud Demon Cave. And when you find a heaven-level mystic fire to forge your soul sword, the sword spirit inside this divine weapon can serve as the first martial soul for your soul sword to devour."

Remember, Dongfang Niemi said excitedly, "The martial soul of the thousand-year-old night owl, the martial soul of the Inferno Kirin, and the incredibly powerful Abyss Lord. When your soul sword is born, it can devour three such powerful martial souls. I can't even imagine how fast your sword spirit cultivation will be. When Master cultivated his sword spirit, it took five years to devour the equivalent of one incomplete martial soul of a thousand-year-old night owl."

Upon hearing this, Yang Dingtian's blood boiled, and he was filled with anticipation for forging his soul sword.

In less than five months, the supreme earth fire in the Fire Cloud Demon Cave will bloom again. At that time, Yang Dingtian can take his forty-five ten-thousand-year-old Blood Black Gold to forge his sword spirit, a true divine weapon.

But now, the most important thing is the Cloud Peak City Grand Elimination Battle! He is already a nine-star mystic warrior, and he is full of confidence in this battle, especially with the night owl strange blade that adds 20% mystic energy!

"Yan Yan, I haven't let you down, and you mustn't let me down," Yang Dingtian looked in the direction of Cloud Peak City, his heart burning with anxiety.

"Cloud Peak City, I'm coming!"

*****

At this moment, Cloud Peak City was bustling with people, with thousands watching the arena.

The annual Grand Elimination Battle was nearing its end, and this was the final match!

Originally, the Grand Elimination Battle wouldn't have such a grand scale, and the big shots of Cloud Peak City wouldn't usually be present. But this year, all the big shots of Cloud Peak City were on the platform.

On the left were Yang Yan, Tang Bozhao, Ximen Ju, and dozens of others, representing the majority of Cloud Peak City's forces. Among them, a particularly striking figure was a stunningly beautiful woman, Yang Shishi, who had just been expelled from the Northwest Qin family and returned to Cloud Peak City.

On the right, there were only two people: Ximen Furen Yang Peipei and Ximen Lie. Compared to Yang Yan's forces, their presence was vastly different!

Not only were all the big shots present, but thousands of Cloud Peak City disciples were also seated in the square.

Such a grand scene hadn't been seen in Cloud Peak City for years.

Yang Yan and the others organized such a grand scene for one purpose: to thoroughly embarrass Yang Dingtian and make all of Cloud Peak City give up hope on the Yang Dingtian designated by Ximen Wuyuan.

Because Ximen Wuyuan held a supreme status among the many disciples of Cloud Peak City. When Ximen Wuyuan designated Yang Dingtian as the successor, many people in Cloud Peak City still supported Yang Dingtian from the heart, despite his poor reputation and being called a madman and a waste. Many disciples still didn't believe it, trusting that the great Ximen City Lord wouldn't have such poor judgment.

Therefore, to dispel the hopes of these people and to undermine Ximen Wuyuan's authority, Yang Yan wanted all the disciples of Cloud Peak City to see Yang Dingtian's embarrassment, to see that he was just a worthless toad. Then, in front of everyone, he would officially expel Yang Dingtian from Cloud Peak City.

Only then could Qin Shaobai truly secure the position of City Lord, and the Yang family could truly regain control of Cloud Peak City!

So, despite the two people on the arena fighting fiercely, no one was paying attention. Everyone was staring at the city gate, waiting to see if Yang Dingtian would return.

Because, once the final match was decided, the Grand Elimination Battle would be over. Yang Dingtian would be considered a coward and directly expelled from Cloud Peak City.

For a moment, thousands of Cloud Peak City disciples in the arena were buzzing with discussion!

...

"Why hasn't Yang Dingtian come yet? Could he really be afraid and run away?"

"Of course, you're too naive. To actually have hope for a madman like Yang Dingtian. He's long gone, who knows how far. City Lord Ximen really made a mistake. He was just an启蒙者 a few days ago, and to break through to a six-star mystic warrior in a few days is a daydream!"

"Indeed, if he can break through to a six-star mystic warrior in a few days, I'll swear allegiance to him and recognize him as the future City Lord of Cloud Peak City."

"Right, if he can break through to a six-star mystic warrior in a few days, he would be the first genius in a thousand years, capable of revitalizing our Cloud Peak City. I would dedicate my life to him."

"Ha, you're just dreaming! A madman and a waste like Yang Dingtian, to break through to a six-star mystic warrior in a few days? Don't joke. If he can do it, I'll cut off my head right here!"

"Sigh! Yang Dingtian really disappoints me. Not breaking through to a six-star mystic warrior in such a short time is one thing, but not even daring to participate in the Grand Elimination Battle is truly disheartening!"

"Of course he doesn't dare. If he comes to participate, he will surely die!"

...

"Bang!"

On the arena, one of the Cloud Peak City disciples was directly hit and fell off the stage.

The final match ended, and the Grand Elimination Battle officially concluded. The bottom ten disciples, who would be expelled from Cloud Peak City, were determined.

"Grand Elder, announce the results. Yang Dingtian, that waste, didn't dare to come," Tang Bozhao said with a cold laugh.

Grand Elder Yang Yan immediately stood up, picked up a hammer, and was about to strike a large bell.

"The Grand Elimination Battle is over..."

"Wait..." Ximen Furen Yang Peipei stood up, pointing to the setting sun: "As long as the sun hasn't set, the Grand Elimination Battle isn't over."

"But the match is already over," Yang Yan said coldly. "As for Yang Dingtian, who didn't even dare to participate, he has no right to be a disciple of Cloud Peak City, let alone a successor. I really don't understand how the City Lord chose such a despicable and cowardly waste."

Then, Yang Yan shouted to the square: "I announce that the Grand Elimination Battle is over. Yang Dingtian and the ten defeated disciples are expelled from Cloud Peak City!"

"No!" Ximen Lie shouted loudly: "According to the ancestral rules, the Grand Elimination Battle isn't over until the sun sets."

Then, Ximen Lie shouted to the disciples below: "Do you believe in City Lord Ximen? If you believe, make your voice heard, give Yang Dingtian a chance, and give yourselves a chance! Do you believe in City Lord Ximen? Do you believe or not?"

"Believe..." some of the disciples below shouted.

Ximen Lie shouted again: "Do you believe or not?"

"Believe!"

"Believe!"

More and more disciples shouted loudly, as Ximen Wuyuan held a god-like status in their hearts.

This made Yang Yan and the others' faces turn extremely ugly. Even though Ximen Wuyuan was no longer around, he still held such a high status in the hearts of all the disciples.

"Grand Elder, please give Yang Dingtian a chance to prove himself. The Grand Elimination Battle isn't over until the sun sets," Ximen Lie said.

Yang Yan's face turned cold, and he was about to refuse. Suddenly, a handsome young man walked up to him and whispered: "Grandfather, give him a chance. The higher Yang Dingtian climbs, the more he will fall! Let him die on the arena!"

This young man was Qin Shaobai! The young genius who came to seize the City Lord position of Cloud Peak City. When he spoke, his face still carried a gentle smile, but his words were extremely cruel.

"Fine, if you want to be thoroughly embarrassed, I'll grant your wish," Yang Yan said coldly. "There are still fifteen minutes until the sun sets. If Yang Dingtian doesn't appear by then, he will be considered a coward. Not only will he be expelled from Cloud Peak City, but he will also be listed as a disgrace to Cloud Peak City forever!"

"It's a deal!" Ximen Lie said, then stepped back, his eyes wide, staring at the city gate, feeling as if he were about to suffocate.

"Yang Dingtian, don't let me down, don't let the Lady down, don't let Yan Yan down, don't let all the disciples who support you in their hearts down. If you don't come, not only will you be finished, but your adoptive father's authority will also be finished!"

Instantly, everyone held their breath, staring at the setting sun in the west.

As the sun slowly set, the hearts of those supporting Yang Dingtian also sank, and their bodies turned cold!

...

Yan Yan wasn't on the arena but on the city wall of Cloud Peak City. As soon as Yang Dingtian appeared, she would be the first to show up.

At this moment, the sun was about to set completely. Yan Yan, with a backpack and a sword in hand, was dressed for a long journey.

She was looking west, but Yang Dingtian still hadn't appeared, and the sun was almost completely set.

"Yang Dingtian, are you really going to let me down? Even if you lose, as long as you come back to participate, I won't leave. I will still be your wife, I will still forgive you, I will still sleep with you, and I will still use the Yin-Yang Devouring Mystic Art to give you mystic energy. But if you really let me down, are you going to send me to the Nether Sea?"

Yan Yan's heart was about to fall with the sunset.

At this moment, a high-pitched cry suddenly echoed in the western sky.

A graceful Piaoling Ray appeared in the field of view, blocking the red sunset in the west. On the Piaoling Ray, two figures: one was Yang Dingtian, and the other was Ximen Ningning.

Yan Yan's heart instantly filled with joy, and she shouted to Yang Dingtian in the western sky with all her might: "Yang Dingtian, you deadbeat, you finally came back!"

...

Under the watchful eyes of thousands, the Piaoling Ray slowly landed on the arena.

Yang Dingtian jumped down and bowed to Yang Yan and the others on the platform: "Grand Elder, Yang Dingtian has come to participate in the Grand Elimination Battle!"
