Chapter 140: Fighting Murong Xue

As the old man finished speaking, a guest from the Li family was the first to come on stage. Like the Wang family, the Li family also supported many guests, including some sixth-rank warriors. Almost all of the sixth-rank warriors they supported were used in martial arts competitions every year.

Although there are sixth-rank warriors in their family, they seldom take action. They are usually asked to help only in times of crisis.

Although this kind of competition is important, it is not their turn to participate. After all, it is shameful to lose in broad daylight. If you meet a strong opponent, you have to give it your all. Every warrior has a hidden skill that he doesn't want others to know.

But it’s different for those guest officials. They spend so much money to support them every year, and they can only take action once. If they are needed to take action additionally, they have to pay more. So their lives are not so important to these families.

Not everyone can watch the competition between sixth-rank warriors. If one is not strong enough, one can easily be accidentally injured by the scattered true qi. Therefore, the people around the martial arts stage are at least seventh-rank, and the rest of the weaker ones stand far away and watch.

The true energy on the stage dispersed, and soon a warrior from the Li family was defeated. Wang Liu on the high platform laughed and said, "Master Li, I didn't expect that your Li family is still the same as before, without any outstanding masters."

When Mr. Li heard his words, the expression on his face changed instantly, but he still forced a smile and said, "This has just begun, the best is yet to come." After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Wang Liu, but turned around and winked at a guest official in the audience.

The guest nodded and jumped directly onto the platform, "I wonder which master of the Wang family is willing to come up and ask for advice?" Hearing the voice, Wang Ke responded, "I'll do it."

The two of them didn't waste any time talking and started fighting right away. Wang Ke no longer had the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, but a different sword to fight him.

At the beginning, Wang Ke had the upper hand and thought he was sure to win. However, the Li family guest's internal energy suddenly surged, and he swung his sword with a huge sword energy that directly tore the floor apart. Wang Ke was directly knocked away by the sword.

Seeing him flying out of the martial arts arena, Zhou Chen quickly took action to catch him. After Wang Ke landed, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. As Wang Ke appeared on the stage, the head of the Li family immediately laughed heartily, "Haha, how about Master Wang?"
Wang Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's wait and see." According to his previous plan, Wang Ke would fight against this guest official of the Li family. He thought he would definitely win, but unexpectedly, this guy actually hid his strength, which completely interrupted his plan.

The next few battles were still within his plan. The Wang family and the Li family were tied at 5-5, and it was all down to the last match. Wang Liu looked at the head of the Li family and said, "Head Li, I wonder which master you will send to fight this time?"
Zhou Chen played in the last match of the Wang family. According to the intelligence of the Wang family, the last opponent was of average strength and Zhou Chen was strong enough to defeat him easily.

After entering the arena, a young woman was seen walking onto the martial arts stage. Although she looked young, a warrior's true age could not be judged by appearance alone, especially since a sixth-grade warrior could live up to two hundred years.

Zhou Chen looked at the woman in front of him curiously. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

"Murong Xue, please give me some advice," the woman bowed to Zhou Chen, and at the same time looked up at Zhou Chen with a smile on her face.

Zhou Chen directly activated his skills to check his attributes and found that this guy had 100 years of martial arts skills. Although he didn't know what martial arts skills he had, Zhou Chen was not afraid of this years of martial arts skills and took the lead in attacking.

He was not going to show mercy to women. Zhou Chen swung the black abyss in his hand with a sword energy. Murong Xue was not afraid and took out a long sword to fight with him. Although his skills were not as good as Zhou Chen's, his swordsmanship was not weak at all. He fought with Zhou Chen for dozens of moves without losing the upper hand.

"Brother Zhou, why are you trying so hard? It's just a competition." Zhou Chen wondered how this woman knew his last name was Zhou. He didn't seem to introduce himself just now.

In the blink of an eye, Murong Xue's moves changed as if he had activated a martial arts skill. His swordsmanship became faster and faster, even faster than his own, and there was a trend of getting faster and faster. Zhou Chen quickly stepped back two steps, and at the same time, the Wind and Cloud Sword instantly condensed into a sword and chopped down. The huge ice sword chopped directly forward. Zhou Chen didn't need to aim at all. Even if the sword missed, the ice sword energy after the explosion of the Wind and Cloud Sword was enough to injure him.

"Master Li, it looks like you are going to lose again this year"?
Seeing this, Murong Xue in the field wiped the sword with her two fingers, and the sword energy on the sword instantly surged. Murong Xue swung the sword and a huge sword energy shot out to meet the Fengyun Sword.

The two huge streams of true energy collided, and the Fengyun Sword exploded directly, shattering Murong Xue's sword energy along with it. The surrounding air had already dropped by more than ten degrees, and it dropped dozens of degrees again at the moment the Fengyun Sword exploded.

A layer of frost instantly formed on the martial arts stage, and even Murong Xue's body was frozen at this moment.

Everyone in the audience exclaimed that this was an attribute attack, which had an overwhelming advantage in the battle.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the ice around Murong Xue's body suddenly began to crack. Within three seconds, Murong Xue broke free from the ice. The moment he got free, he trembled all over and exhaled cold air.

Zhou Chen did not press on to pursue his victory, but waited until he used his true energy to restore his body temperature before persuading him to "admit defeat."

"Brother Zhou, don't be happy too soon." He stepped on his right foot, and the aura around him suddenly doubled. Zhou Chen was shocked and activated his skills. After observing the skills, Zhou Chen found that Murong Xue's skills had increased directly to two hundred years. "This is an auxiliary magical power."

Since the power has doubled, the attack power will naturally increase by about twice. Zhou Chen no longer underestimates the enemy and tightly grasps the Black Abyss in his hand. Wang Liu also frowned, "Master Li, it seems that I underestimated your Li family."

"It seems that the victory this year will belong to my Li family." Zhou Chen was about to take action when he heard Wang Liu's voice, "If Guest Zhou can win this competition, I will give you a sixth-grade pill afterwards."

Zhou Chen smiled when he heard the voice, and at the same time, the Fengyun Sword condensed again and swung down. Murong Xue swung out two sword energies, and the moment they collided, the cold air pressed towards Murong Xue's body.

Seeing this, Murong Xue's true energy burst out from his body and dispersed the cold air. Although a trace of cold air still entered his body, it was still within his tolerance range.

At the same time, Murong Xue's martial arts were activated, leaving a trail of afterimages on the martial arts stage. More than a dozen afterimages stabbed towards Zhou Chen at the same time, and countless sword energies stabbed towards Zhou Chen's body.

Zhou Chen swung his sword and chopped it out. The sword energy slashed towards a phantom and went straight through its body.

"phantom"?
Seeing the long sword and sword energy approaching, Zhou Chen's mind moved and his magical water power was activated. The water vapor in the air instantly condensed around his body into a spherical barrier made of water, blocking Murong Xue's sword energy.

I saw ripples on the spherical barrier, but it couldn't be broken. Then dozens of phantoms quickly gathered on one person. Then Murong Xue, the only one left, held the sword with both hands. At the same time, the sword energy on the sword instantly gathered and recovered until there was no trace of sword energy on the sword. Then she stabbed at Zhou Chen with the sword.

The moment the long sword pierced into the water realm, a huge sword energy burst out from the tip of the sword. Ripples continued to ripple above Zhou Chen's water realm, and at the same time, the original spherical shape began to deform and showed a tendency to break.
