Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1325 - 1324: Overwhelming Battle
Hong Zhaoyue's appearance stirred up the atmosphere at the scene.
Drums and gongs clamored, creating an extraordinarily lively setting.
Many young talents knew they didn't have the strength to participate in such a martial arts tournament, but coming to witness the spectacle, or even glimpse the beauty of Hong Zhaoyue, was worthwhile.
"Princess Zhaoyue is as enchanting as ever, truly a peerless beauty! If I could marry such a woman, I'd willingly have a short life even if just for a thousand years!"
"Look at your worthless self, even if you had a short life, Princess Zhaoyue wouldn't be interested in you."
"Indeed, this martial arts tournament has the Lu Family's young master from South City determined to win. Who dares contest with a Great Cultivator at the Peak Realm of Profound Human Immortal? Moreover... Lu Jiujian has mastered Lu Jiujian. It's expected that this tournament is just a formality. Seriously, it might make Lu Jiujian famous throughout Wanxian City again!"
The crowd nodded, highly agreeing with their viewpoint.
Among the young talents, those who could defeat Lu Ming are very few.
However, there were dissenting opinions as well.
"Lu Jiujian is strong indeed, but there are hidden masters in Wanxian City. I recall not long ago, young master Tai Gang from West City got killed. It's said the one who killed him was a young man. Tai Gang was also at the Profound Human Immortal Realm!"
"Right, Wanxian World gathers top human masters, hidden talent everywhere. Many powerful people often keep a low profile. Perhaps they just aren't willing to come forth and compete."
"Then it's really a pity. Princess Zhaoyue is so beautiful!"
"Even if Lu Jiujian is determined to win, it's still very challenging to prevail. You must realize, in this martial arts tournament, if you step up too early, you'll face the challenge of all who follow, and a gauntlet match is not something the average person can handle!"
Discussion erupted here and there.
Each had their viewpoint without strict right or wrong.
Among the crowd.
When Ye Wenjun saw the radiant face and unmatched beauty of Ye Wenjun's reflection, she finally understood why Fang Yu would ask her if she had any sisters.
Too similar.
Aside from different clothing, their every move and expression were so alike.
Not only was Ye Wenjun surprised, but even other Hall Masters and Xu Zhaopei were shocked.
In Wanxian City, such resemblance was extraordinary.
If Ye Wenjun wasn't wearing a cloak and veil, those around might have already been extremely amazed.
"Now Fang Yu is in trouble, Princess Zhaoyue and sister-in-law look so alike. If he marries her, it won't cause a joke, right?"
"Daotian, do you think there's anything suspicious about this Zhaoyue? It's improbable for people to look so similar; only twins can manage this. I don't believe this woman is unrelated to sister-in-law!"
"We should ask sister-in-law, maybe she had some sisters lost outside long ago, and she doesn't know?"
"Makes sense! Let's watch then. We can't meddle in sister-in-law and Fang Yu's affairs!"
The two nodded, planning to continue watching the show.
Moreover, among the cultivators here, anyone's cultivation realm is somewhat higher than theirs, only some ordinary folks don't possess cultivation power. Here they can only honestly spectate.
On stage.
Hong Zhaoyue's gaze sweeps over the faces of all the young talents below, hoping to see that familiar silhouette, but unfortunately... She didn't.
There were simply too many people.
"Sister, I really don't understand, you should just reject that bastard directly, why insist on martial arts tournament matchmaking, isn't this giving that bastard an opportunity?" Shang Hongxin felt it's unjust for Hong Zhaoyue.
"Alas, do you think I want this? You've seen the situation in East City! Your Central City remains neutral, unwilling to take sides… Hongxin, if it were you, what would you do?"
This question left Shang Hongxin truly uncertain how to answer.
They were no longer kids, perhaps when young one could be willful, directly rejecting things they don't want.
But growing up, one realizes how hard it is to get what one desires.
In life, undesirable events occur nine times out of ten!
Following this.
The steward of the Hong Family stepped up to announce the purpose of this martial arts tournament, which was actually nonsensical, merely stating the conditions for being Hong Zhaoyue's suitor.
Everyone found it reasonable upon hearing, nodding unanimously.
Not long after.
The sound of a gong resounded!
The battle commenced.
"Now welcoming the first one on stage! Nangong Feiyin! And his opponent Lu Mu!"
Two young men stepped on stage to contend.
Although they are cultivators within the Human Immortal Realm, they purely were here to play a minor role!
Everyone was aware these matches were uninteresting.
Therefore.
The battle continued for about two hours.
People in the audience grew weary, the sun was making everyone drowsy.
In a certain corner, Lu Ming folded his arms, leaned against a long sword, squinting to watch the stage.
"Young master, it's time to step up!"
"Hmm... letting them slow down for a while is fine... these people aren't my match! Sometimes... there's a way to avoid a gauntlet match." Lu Ming smiled sweetly.
"Young master, what do you mean?"
"You'll understand soon!"
Meanwhile.
Another person was defeated and stepped down on stage.
"Is there anyone willing to challenge?!"
"Is there anyone?"
The calls rang out.
The audience below pondered, wondering who would be next?
During the crowd's anticipation.
Lu Ming's voice came from afar—
"I will!"
A black figure soared above everyone's heads.
Lu Ming, carrying a long sword, descended from the sky.
His figure moved like lightning.
The air shifted.
To glide and employ space laws so freely in Wanxian World, likely only young master Lu Ming could achieve it.
Everyone became alert.
"It's young master Lu!"
"Young master Lu unexpectedly made a move at this time!"
"Acting too soon makes sustaining combat difficult, in a gauntlet match, he'll suffer!"
It hadn't been half a day, and only over ten people had stepped up.
Even with Lu Ming's formidable strength, defeating one in ten minutes would take a long time, and there's also primordial qi expenditure involved!
Once depleted, even one opponent left could prove difficult for him.
However...
Lu Ming still decided to make a move.
All eyes fell upon him.
Thus.
Lu Ming lifted his sword, pointing at the opponent across.
The young cultivator opposite was merely at the Heavenly Human Immortal Realm.
Lu Ming surpassed him by a significant rank, not to mention he was a Peak Realm Profound Human Immortal.
Such pointed provocation made the opponent slightly fearful.
"Please guide me!"
As soon as these words were uttered.
Whoosh! Air fluctuation!
Lu Ming's silhouette seemed to leave traces in midair.
The air appeared to be severed, the airflow pressed downward.
"Lu Jiujian's first move, Visitor from the Sky!"
Ppft!
An unadorned Sword Gang split open the opponent's body instantly from the sky.
Shockingly.
The opponent had no chance for resistance, being split in half!
Instantly dead!
It was a completely overwhelming battle!
