Chapter 99

"Ha ha ha, not bad, not bad. Ye Jun Tian of the Ye Family has a bloodline test result of ‘zero’. However, he has taken another path of cultivation, and the results are quite significant. This shows that every field can produce a champion, right? It’s not necessarily required to have a bloodline for cultivation," Zheng Yun stood up and said with a smile.

"This time, three families have registered to participate in the competition: the Li Family, the Ye Family, and the Cai Family. Each family will have a total of six warriors participating, divided into the Newcomer Group and the Veteran Group. The competition will be conducted in a team format. For example, if you win the first match, you can continue to the second and even the third match..." Fang Hong announced the rules.

"Special Envoy Fang, if there is a super-strong individual in the opposing team, wouldn’t that person be able to sweep through the other teams?" Cai Qiang asked.

"That’s just the way it is. Who can help it if they have a super-strong individual? The family of the City Lord should have a super-strong individual to uphold their reputation. Otherwise, how can the martial experts within the Qingmu City area be convinced?" Fang Hong said.

"Doing it this way, the Ye Family and the Cai Family probably have no hope in the Newcomer Group. Li Huanlang alone can sweep through the entire Newcomer Group," Ye Qingshao sighed.

The head of the Ye Family looked extremely displeased. He couldn’t sit still and asked, "Your Excellencies, if we are comparing overall strength, shouldn’t the number of matches be the main factor? How can one person represent the overall strength of an entire family?"

"Ha ha, we didn’t say not to count by matches. If someone wins one match, that’s one match, and if they win two, that’s two matches, right?" Special Envoy Zheng said.

"The lottery results show that the Ye Family’s Newcomer Group will send out two people first, to face the Newcomer Group members of the Cai Family and the Li Family. Head of the Ye Family, who do you plan to send out?" Fang Hong asked.

"I have arranged for Ye Hong and Ye Feng to go out. Ye Feng will face the Cai Family, and Ye Hong will face the Li Family," Ye Tianhao had no choice but to name his choices. Naturally, he considered Ye Jun Tian the weakest. He would send out his strongest disciples.

"Ha ha, I have arranged for Cai Meizhu to face Ye Feng," Cai Yang said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

"I will send out Li Huanlang," Li Cheng said calmly, with a look that suggested he had everything under control.

"The first match of the Newcomer Group: Ye Feng vs. Cai Meizhu," Fang Hong announced.

The two stood on the stage, which was much larger than the one in the Ye Family, spanning about half a mile, providing ample space for both to display their martial arts.

Cai Meizhu’s beauty was on par with Li Qingyue, the most beautiful woman in Qingmu City, and her expression was even colder. She hadn’t smiled once, her face icy.

Both warmed up for about half a minute, and a fierce blood energy surged through their muscles like snakes.

Ye Feng was the first to strike, his palm rising like a knife. He slashed through the air, creating a visible crack. The sharp palm force cut through the air, heading straight for Cai Meizhu.

"Ye Tianhao has no choice but to teach Ye Feng the most powerful ‘Three Intentional Cuts’ of our ancestors. It’s said that this ‘Three Intentional Cuts’ has only three moves, created by one of our ancestors who reached the peak of Earth Martial Realm two hundred years ago. The rank is at least Upper Heaven. Back then, the ancestor could split a two-story building with one cut. Of course, for Ye Feng, even a Mystic Rank martial technique would be too difficult for him to learn. However, our Ye Family doesn’t have any Mystic Rank martial techniques," Ye Qingshao said.

"Flowing Moon Leg!" Cai Meizhu sneered, completely ignoring Ye Feng’s Intentional Cut and kicked out with a leg.

The powerful blood energy collided with the air, producing a popping sound. With a crack, the first move of the Intentional Cut, ‘Air-Splitting Cut,’ struck the Flowing Moon Leg.

A crack appeared in the air, and the Flowing Moon Leg swept away the Air-Splitting Cut. The remaining force flew over and kicked Ye Feng, causing him to stagger three times before stabilizing. Ye Jun Tian noticed that a mouthful of blood was forced back down Ye Feng’s throat.

"Alas, Ye Feng probably won’t last more than three cuts," Ye Jun Tian sighed. Although there were internal conflicts, they were united against external enemies.

"Flying Moon Cut!" Ye Feng, enraged, roared and leaped into the air, his body forming a crescent moon. In the air, his blood energy surged, and his body instantly straightened. A powerful palm force descended like a whirlwind, cutting toward Cai Meizhu. The strong blood energy formed a pale red crescent moon-shaped wind blade.

However, Cai Meizhu was confident and shouted, "Swallowing Moon Leg!"

A leg spun 360 degrees in the air, creating a pale green blood energy circle that rose from the stage. The energy circle collided with the wind blade.

Bang!

The energy circle exploded strangely, and Ye Feng was blasted off the stage by the powerful blood energy.

This time, he couldn’t hold back and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned yellow, indicating serious internal injuries.

Ye Tianhao and Ye Jinxiang watched with pale faces, their expressions helpless.

"It’s no use; the strength difference is too great," Ye Qingshao shook his head, his expression not good.

"Annihilation Cut!" Ye Feng took a Blood Replenishing Pill and then leaped into the air from the stage. Blood energy surged above his head, and a blood wolf charged out.

In the air, the entire wolf body fiercely pounced toward Cai Meizhu on the stage. For the honor of the family and his father’s position as City Lord, Ye Feng was exhausting his blood energy and using his strongest blood intent attack. This was combined with the ‘Annihilation Cut’ from the Three Intentional Cuts. If this cut failed, Ye Feng would be out of options.

"Destroying Moon!" Cai Meizhu, not daring to be careless, shouted. A thumb-thick ‘Black Cicada’ spread its wings and instantly pounced out from behind her.

Combined with the Flowing Moon Leg’s ultimate move, ‘Destroying Moon.’ Though small, the Black Cicada opened its mouth and sprayed a liquid, like a high-pressure water jet, directly onto the blood wolf.

Crack! Ye Feng cried out in pain. The blood wolf was instantly turned into a red mist by the liquid.

A drop of the liquid even sprayed onto Ye Feng. His robe was immediately corroded, forming a blood hole, and a thumb-sized blood hole appeared on his chest, penetrating to his internal organs and breaking two ribs.

Ye Feng fell, hitting the floor with a loud thud.

Cai Meizhu stood on the stage with a cold expression, not making another move, just coldly staring at Ye Feng on the stage.

1... 2... 3...

Fang Hong counted, all the way to 20, and Ye Feng struggled but couldn’t get up.

"Newcomer Group: Cai Meizhu vs. Ye Feng. Cai Meizhu wins," Fang Hong announced on the spot.

Immediately, the Cai Family disciples clapped and cheered, like a wave. The Ye Family disciples were disheartened, and Ye Feng was carried off by his fellow disciples.

"Second match: Ye Hong vs. Li Huanlang," Fang Hong announced again.

"Alas, another loss," Ye Suiyue sighed.

Li Huanlang had long hair that reached his shoulders. He was very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Ye Jun Tian’s eyes turned green, and his perception lines probed inside, discovering that Li Huanlang had nine blood waves vibrating simultaneously. He was indeed a high-level Human Martial Realm expert, and his blood energy was black.

The blood energy carried a terrifying killing intent. This black blood energy was a rigid type, mixed with a terrifyingly violent aura.

This guy was probably a belligerent type.

Probing Ye Hong, he found only eight bloodlines vibrating simultaneously. He was indeed a mid-level Human Martial Realm expert. Unless a miracle happened, he was bound to lose.

Ye Jun Tian’s mood was also complex. Li Huanlang was indeed invincible. If he fought him, his chances of winning were virtually zero; he was too strong.
