Chapter 503 - Girl, Let's Have a Talk!

On the Fighting Platform, they were still fighting fiercely. Both of them were capable of using exquisite and complex swordplay. In this case, they could prevent themselves from being hurt by the other’s sword power and keep attacking each other’s vital parts. It could be said that each move of their swords contained their intentions of killing.

As blasts of their swords’ power dropped down like raindrops, the surging Sword Qi was all over the sky. The audience under the platform had already been dazzled. Being immersed in the fine swordsmanship of the two competitors, they almost forgot that this was the peak final.

On the high platforms of the south and north sides, Perfected Immortal Zixuan of the Pure Mind Sect and Perfected Immortal Qingyuan of the Heaven Heart Pavilion were also somewhat shocked. At first, they thought that except for his high cultivation level, Xiao Chen might not have real skills. But now the situation was obviously far beyond their expectations. They even had never seen the same Swordplay as Xiao Chen’s. Therefore, they guessed that Xiao Chen would be a top talent and had a very promising future.

On the east end of the high platform, Perfected Immortal Chongyang couldn’t help nodding while tasting the tea in his hand. Repeatedly, he showed his approval. Since he had seen countless people, he could be sure that this young man would come out on top. Some parts of Xiao Chen were still not perfect enough, but he would definitely make many great achievements in the future if he entered the Cloud Mist Academy. Thus, at this moment, Perfected Immortal Chongyang felt as happy as if he had accidentally picked up a piece of raw jade that had not been carved yet.

Outside the square, Chu Qi stared at the virtual images sent by the Transmitting Formation. She was expressionless but was entirely absorbed. But Yang Qing, who was beside her, looked around with his keen insight and paid attention to the whole situation. Naturally, he noticed the look of the Perfected Immortal Chongyang, who was now on the east end of the high platform, knowing that he already appreciated Xiao Chen very much.

Yang Qing couldn’t help sighing in his heart, thinking, “No matter how outstanding Xiao Chen was in the Violet Manor, those so-called sects of the Orthodox Path and elders of the Cultivators’ sects always took him as a member of the Devil’s Practice. They, who always want to eliminate Xiao Chen, were so stupid that they abandoned and tried to stifle such a talented man. However, in the Wastelands, Xiao Chen can immediately win recognition from the predecessor. Perhaps, the Wastelands is really suited to him. This time, he may get great accomplishments in the Wastelands.”

On the Fighting Platform, the dense fog still lingered. Xiao Chen and Jiang Qianqian were close to each other the whole time, and their swords had never gone one meter away from the other. Xiao Chen obviously did not expect that Jiang Qianqian could be so strong. She was no worse than Xiaoyue. Actually, she was even stronger than Xiaoyue. If he had not leveled down his cultivation level, it was hard to tell who would be the winner.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen performed his swordplay more fiercely at an accelerated pace. “I must not lose this time. If I lost, I would even waste my application fee of 2,000 Spirit Stones. It would be a big loss! In any case, I have to get the one million Spirit Stones and leave this troubled place as soon as possible.”

Xiao Chen’s sword moves became swifter and more powerful, while Jiang Qianqian seemed to be soon defeated. This scene kept the disciples of the Pure Mind Sect in suspense. Those who hadn’t seen Xiao Chen in Demonic Beast Mountain Range even snarled, “If the strength of Junior Sister hadn’t been weakened, he would never have gained the upper hand!”

In fact, Jiang Qianqian’s cultivation level hadn’t been suppressed; instead, it was Xiao Chen’s cultivation level that had been reduced. But how could they have imagined that? On the east side of the high platform, when Jiang Bietian saw that his daughter was going to lose, he actually showed a smile and said, “My daughter has had the desire to excel over others since she was a child. If she is defeated this time, it may be a good thing for her.”

Perfected Immortal Chongyang smiled and said, “Just like you?”

Jiang Bietian shook his head and smiled. “Don’t mention it. Let’s don’t mention it.”

While they were talking and laughing, the battle on the Fighting Platform was about to end. Apparently, Jiang Qianqian was no match for Xiao Chen. In a hurry, she leaped back, intending to hide in the fog. It had never occurred to her that this man would be so powerful. Now, she had to retreat first and then find a chance to kill him.

However, Xiao Chen was sure to win, so how could he let her go? He shouted, “Come back!” Then he jumped forward and grabbed her shank. For a moment, he only felt that he caught some soft jade, which was very soft and smooth. His hand slipped to her ankle. Under the Fighting Platform, Baili Xiaohualuo immediately stopped smiling and frowned.

Xiao Chen caught Jiang Qianqian’s foot and instantly stopped her from flying away. However, Jiang Qianqian did not panic because of this. Instead, she made use of Xiao Chen’s pulling force and thrust at him with her sword.

There was a 30-centimeter-long beam of green light flickering on the tip of her sword. Xiao Chen was clear that being wounded by such a sword would definitely cause great damage to him. So he hurriedly leaned back and let go of Jiang Qianqian’s ankle at the same time. There was no time for Jiang Qianqian to withdraw herself, and hence she directly flew over him, which inadvertently revealed the scenery under her skirt to Xiao Chen.

Since it was such a short period, and Xiao Chen’s mind was full of the million Spirit Stones, he naturally couldn’t see everything clearly. However, he immediately realized that he couldn’t let his million Spirit Stones get away, so he instantly turned around and grabbed at her again. At this time, Jiang Qianqian also turned around. Nothing bad would happen if he didn’t go to seize her. But now, it seemed that Xiao Chen got hold of something soft.

“Ah!” A scream went up high and pierced into the clouds in an instant, and even, it directly broke through the sound Barrier of the Fighting Platform and reached to the people under them. The ears of those people with weaker cultivation began to ring, and there were dancing spots that appeared before their eyes.

Xiao Chen didn’t expect that either. He wanted to grab at her shoulder, but he seemed to misjudge the position. As a result, he gripped her left chest, especially with great strength. Hurriedly, Xiao Chen apologized, “Miss! Miss! I didn’t mean to…”

“Ah! Then why don’t you bastard let go of me?! I’ll kill you!” Jiang Qianqian completely lost control of herself. She slashed at him with her sword, vehemently. A little absent-mindedly, Xiao Chen nearly failed to dodge this strike. Even though he managed to escape, she still cut a strand of his hair off.

At this time, the scene provoked an uproar from the audience. The face of Baili Xiaohualuo turned extremely ugly. As for the people of the Pure Mind Sect, they all roared, “Shameless! Bawdy! Cheap! Rotten! Dirt eating! Dog kissing! Such a person can never enter the Cloud Mist Academy! He is simply a pervert! A pervert!”

“Puff!” Perfected Immortal Chongyang, who was on the eastern side of the high platform, spat out the tea in his mouth. Obviously, he did not expect such a funny scene. Beside him, Jiang Bietian’s face had already turned purplish red. He got up and was about to fly to the Fighting Platform.

Perfected Immortal Chongyang immediately pulled him back. “Hey, hey, Lil Jiang, calm down! Calm down! Don’t act on impulse!” Jiang Bietian was swollen with anger, “I must kill this little bastard! I’m going to chop off his hand!”

Perfected Immortal Chongyang coughed and said, “Well, you cannot… you don’t have cultivation.” Hearing this, Jiang Bietian finally sat back, but his eyes still looked ferocious as if he were going to kill at any time.

On the Fighting Platform, Jiang Qianqian continued to hack and chop randomly with her sword, chasing incessantly after Xiao Chen. At this time, the dense fog on the stage gradually dissipated. Each of her sword strikes showed the matchless, violent power of a cultivator who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. If they were on an ordinary Fighting Platform, it would have long been destroyed.

Xiao Chen dodged from the right and the left. Because of what happened just now, it was improper for him to fight back now. He hurriedly explained, “Miss, miss. Let’s have a talk first. Let’s fight seriously, alright? Listen to my explanation. I really don’t mean to…”

“Go to hell!” Jiang Qianqian was still like an angry deer, hacking and cutting randomly for a while. But finally, she calmed down, thinking to herself, “I cannot do this anymore. If I expose myself too much, he will find my weak points. As long as he counterattacks, I will definitely lose to him.”

At the thought of this, Jiang Qianqian jumped back and glared at Xiao Chen. “It is no big deal. I may as well consider that I was touched by a pig’s hand. I will find a way to deal with him later. Today, I should win this match first.”

Seeing that she finally calmed down now, Xiao Chen said with a wry smile, “Well, Miss Jiang, listen to me…”

“Take this!” Jiang Qianqian yelled with a sweet voice, and then she sent her sword to him again. But this time, she didn’t do it casually. Xiao Chen hastily avoided her attack. With a flick, he shot his finger forces at her sword point. “Clang!” There was a clear and loud sound. When he was about to fight back, the floor under his feet suddenly shook, and Xiao Chen immediately felt a rush of scorching hot.

Suddenly, on the originally flat ground, numerous cracks appeared with uprushing lava oozing out. At the same time, some large rocks rapidly protruded from the ground. Xiao Chen reacted extremely fast. He immediately jumped on a raised stone, but then Jiang Qianqian also jumped on one stone. Obviously, she had never expected this either. It seemed that the scenes that occurred today had never appeared before.

Soon, the entire Fighting Platform seemed to have turned into a hell of lava. Since the lava was constantly seething, only a few protruding rocks had the room just enough for people to stand on. The crowd below was also shocked. They exclaimed that the platform designed by Master Ren was really awesome. It looked as amazing as the mystic domain created by the magic spell.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was standing on a raised boulder. He had already felt it hard to breathe, and his face quickly turned ghastly pale. As if his whole body was going to be scorched, Xiao Chen felt extremely uncomfortable. Meanwhile, his vitality constantly flew away, just like what had happened when he went to get the Sword of the Vermillion Bird in the Valley of the Southern Vermilion.

On the other side, Jiang Qianqian seemed not to be affected much. After chanting a spell, she used the Freezing Technique to attack Xiao Chen right away.

“Clang!” With a loud noise, Xiao Chen barely managed to block her attack but was sent flying. Fortunately, he landed on another rock and did not fall into the lava.

Jiang Qianqian noticed that his face was pale, and his strength was not as strong as before. She smiled proudly and said, “You fear fire!” Then she moved forward to attack Xiao Chen again.

After Xiao Chen endured several attacks in a row from her, his face became even paler. Below him, Perfected Immortal Chongyang also frowned, pondering, “Even if the Fighting Platform is in the fire hell mode, how can he be suppressed so badly? Outside the square, Yang Qing also became a little anxious. He asked Chu Qi, “What’s wrong with Brother Xiao?”

Chu Qi remained silent. Still, like a cold iceberg, she watched the light curtain with the utmost concentration. After a long time, to Yang Qing’s surprise, she began to talk, “No, he cannot hold on there. Let him get down off the platform.”

On the Fighting Platform, when Jiang Qianqian saw that Xiao Chen really had no strength to resist, she was secretly delighted. “I will get back on him for what just happened.” Immediately, she repeatedly attacked him, not willing to give him any breathing space.

Xiao Chen dodged in all directions. In the fire hell, even his body movements became much slower. Under the platform, seeing that Xiao Chen was in a series of dangers, Perfected Immortal Chongyang couldn’t help muttering to himself with knitted brows, “How can this be? How can he be in such a passive position…”

On the platform, as Jiang Qianqian launched many swifter and fiercer attacks, a great cheer went up from the crowd. Those disciples of the Pure Mind Sect became especially excited. However, Xiao Chen had been pushed into a tight corner. There were several times that he almost fell into the lava. Once he fell into it, the consequences would be unthinkable.

“Ah!” Xiao Chen suddenly let out a heartrending scream. It turned out that the splashing lava scalded his left arm. If the lava touched an ordinary person’s skin, a large area of it would definitely be burnt, but Xiao Chen’s arm seemed to be fine. In spite of this, he felt ten times more painful than others.

When Jiang Qianqian saw that the lava was effective against him, an idea suddenly came into her mind. Her sword that went to stab Xiao Chen suddenly turned to stir up the lava below. Her Sword Qi was so fierce that it brought up a great many layers of lava, which then came fiercely at Xiao Chen.

Below them, Jiang Bietian froze all of a sudden, shocked. He knew that the lava could cause fatal injuries to Xiao Chen. Although he said that he wanted to kill Xiao Chen, he was reluctant to watch such a promising talent die after all. Thus, he shouted in no time, “Qianqian, stop!”

Next to him, the face of Perfected Immortal Chongyang changed more dramatically, and he even wanted to fly up quickly to save Xiao Chen. But in this thrilling moment, Xiao Chen formed a Barrier to prevent himself from being hurt by the incoming lava. He couldn’t help thinking, “This woman is so vicious. I merely caught her breast by accident, and she actually wants to kill me because of that!”

Of course, it was not that Jiang Qianqian was vicious, but she didn’t know that the lava could do fatal damages to Xiao Chen. As many people below witnessed Xiao Chen’s discomfiture at the moment, they burst into continuous cheers.

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and removed his Barrier, thinking, “Gui Xian had once told me that my life and fate were closely related to the wood so that I could be restricted by fire. But even though fire restricts wood, it grows from wood. That’s why I am very proficient in fire-based formations and magic spells. Especially when I am now in such a fire hell, the power that I exert can be ten times stronger than before. So…”

Xiao Chen suddenly stood up. At this moment, his eyes became very sharp. He looked at Jiang Qianqian coldly and said, “It’s over.”

With this, he suddenly bellowed, “Nine Heaven-scorching Flames!”
