Chapter 424 - The First Match
Chapter 424 The First Match
After using up all three chances, Xu Longfei handed the device to Lu Wei helplessly.
Lu Wei took a look at the name list and grinned. “Sect Master Xu, if you’re not satisfied with the final match up, I can give you another chance.”
Xu Longfei smiled. “I appreciate the kind intentions, Demon Emperor Lu.
“I’m very confident in my sect’s disciples, and there’s no need for us to do a new match up.”
Lu Wei smiled. “You sure you don’t want to reconsider?”
Without hesitating, Xu Longfei said, “There’s no need to reconsider. That’s all for now!”
Seeing this, Lu Wei no longer tried to persuade him. “Now that Sect Master Xu has made up his mind, let us begin!”
“I’m sure your esteemed sect knows the rules of the duels very well. There’s no need for me to repeat them, is there?!”
Xu Longfei nodded.
Lu Wei handed the device to Xu Longfei. “Sect Master Xu, I hope you can understand if one of our juniors were to kill a disciple of your sect during a duel.”
Xu Longfei said, “If my sect’s disciples also accidentally kill a descendant of the Demon race, I hope you won’t take it to heart either.”
Lu Wei smiled. “That depends on whether or not your disciples have the ability.”
After the conversation was over, Xu Longfei handed the device to the Supreme Venerable Elder. “Please make the announcements, Elder.”
The Supreme Venerable Elder took a look at the information. Helplessness was welling up in his heart, and he realized that victory was out of sight for them. In any case, he still hoped that all of his disciples could perform better than usual today and hoped that a miracle would happen.
The Supreme Venerable Elder drew a deep breath. “I hereby announce the official commencement of the Demons’ challenge against the Luo Ding Sect.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the various places in the Immortal realm erupted into commotion.
In particular, the gates of the casinos were tightly packed.
Everyone guessed whether or not the Luo Ding Sect would be able to secure the first match.
Looking at the current bets, it was 50-50, so the loss ratio wasn’t that high either.
After all, they were all from the Immortal realm, and they all hoped that the Luo Ding Sect could win.
Headquarters of the Luo Ding Sect.
After the Supreme Venerable Elder announced the commencement of the challenge, he immediately announced the participants of the first match.
The disciples from the Luo Ding Sect were called Luo Yufei, and the one from the Demon race was called Xiong Chu.
Luo Yufei was a genius from the Luo Ding Sect headquarters’ Sword Dao office and a female disciple at that.
Qin Chuan had a strong impression of Luo Yufei. When he first entered the Mustard Domain, she was the first person to challenge him.
Luo Yufei was a genius of the Sword Dao office. She had a soul, a Sword Soul at that. She had been practicing the sword since she could remember and had persevered until now.
In terms of cultivation, Luo Yufei was especially hardworking. Even though she was more talented than others, she did not slack off in the slightest.
At the age of ten, she could master her own Sword Soul and develop it.
At the age of 20, she was able to liberate the Sword Soul, though not perfectly so.
In another 10 years, she was able to freely release and retract her Sword Soul to a perfect level.
In the hundredth year of her cultivation, she unlocked her Sword Domain.
Even though there were some in the Immortal realm who had opened their Sword Domain earlier than her, she was still considered one of the more outstanding ones.
Luo Yufei’s idol was Lan Lang.
All along, she had considered Lan Lang as her goal to catch up to.
That was why she cultivated so hard.
When she heard that her idol had become sworn siblings with a new disciple from the Lower realm, she was terribly upset.
In her heart, Lan Lang had a perfect and saint-like image, and she couldn’t accept this fact at all.
Therefore, as soon as Qin Chuan entered the Mustard Domain, she issued a challenge to him.
But Qin Chuan didn’t even have the courage to fight her. At that moment, she was very disappointed.
Rather than Qin Chuan, she was more disappointed in Lan Lang.
Lan Lang had always been her idol, and she had always admired him. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect him to become sworn brothers with trash like Qin Chuan.
From that day onwards, Lan Lang’s image in her heart was no longer as perfect as before.
“Yufei, your opponent is very strong. Don’t underestimate him. You must give it your all,” warned the Supreme Venerable Elder sternly.
Luo Yufei’s gaze was resolute. “I will definitely not disappoint the elders and the Sect Master. I will win this battle.”
After all, she was a genius among geniuses, and she was filled with confidence.
The Supreme Venerable Elder nodded and said nothing, afraid that it would affect her condition.
The Supreme Venerable Elder gave her an affirmative look.
Luo Yufei nodded before making her way over to Xiong Chu.
Xiong Chu.
He was strong and bulky. Nearly five meters tall, muscular, and filled with power.
Xiong Chu was of the Thunderstorm King Bear Bloodline, making him one of the best among the younger generation of Demons.
He had participated in the last challenge and won several matches. With his strength, he could be ranked around the middle of the Chosen Roll.
Even though Luo Yufei was very talented in the Luo Ding Sect, she did not have the right to enter the Chosen Roll.
With this comparison, the gap between Luo Yufei and Xiong Chu was not small. There was basically no chance of her winning.
Luo Yufei was equally aware of Xiong Chu’s strength, but she believed that the benefits she had obtained from cultivating in the Mustard Domain gave her a chance at defeating him.
Soon, only the two of them were left on the ground, and the others were watching the fight from midair. The Supreme Venerable Elder asked loudly. “Are you all ready?”
“Yes!” said Luo Yufei.
“Let’s get started!” said Xiong Chu, thumping his fists together. He looked like he couldn’t wait any longer.
The Supreme Venerable Elder said, “Since you have no more questions, the fight may begin.”
With that, Luo Yufei took the lead and attacked Xiong Chu.
Luo Yufei was extremely fast, and her body sliced through the air, leaving a pitch-black spatial rift in its wake.
Like an immovable mountain, Xiong Chu stood his ground and waited for Luo Yufei to approach him.
A deafening sound pierced through the air.
A dazzling sword beam pierced through the dawn sky, eclipsing the sunlight.
There was a loud sound like metal scraping against metal.
Luo Yufei’s sword struck Xiong Chu’s left waist, producing a long trail of sparks.
From the power of the sword she had just displayed, she could instantly kill most Mahayana realm cultivators.
However, Xiong Chu was completely unharmed.
Demons were born with powerful physical defenses.
Xiong Chu was of the Thunderstorm King Bear Bloodline, and his physical defense was at the topmost level. Xiong Chu focused on cultivating his physical body, which was now almost as tough as a magical artifact.
Without powerful weapons, it would be difficult to inflict physical harm on him, let alone defeat him.
After the blow, Luo Yufei darted to the side and took a look at the sword in her hand.
The blade was slightly curled.
“What an abnormal physical body!” exclaimed Luo Yufei in astonishment.
Rubbing the spot where he had been cut, Xiong Chu mocked, “Are you trying to tickle me, genius of the Luo Ding Sect?”
Luo Yufei’s expression did not change as she retrieved another longsword.
The quality of this longsword far exceeded that of the previous one. Although its sharpness had not reached the Immortal level, with the enhancement of the Sword Soul, it should not be too far off.
Xiong Chu narrowed his eyes. As though sensing that the sword in Luo Yufei’s hand was extraordinary, he couldn’t help but take her words more seriously. In the next second, Luo Yufei launched another attack.
In the blink of an eye, she was already standing before Xiong Chu.
A longsword aura imbued with boundless sharpness instantly enveloped Xiong Chu.
Luo Yufei was suspended in the air with beads of sweat on her forehead.
She had exerted 80% of her strength in that strike earlier; it was enough to injure a Heavenly Immortal expert.
As the sword beam dissipated, Luo Yufei’s pupils constricted, and her expression changed. She was once again shocked. “How can this be?”
