Chapter 74: ironbone civil war

When Xiao Zuiji shattered Xiao Linyes elbow, threw him like a sack of potatoes, and held him down by the neck, the Xiao Familys Great Elder could not take that sitting down. 

He only wanted to scold a little and prevent Xiao Zuiji from wreaking havoc, but he hadnt acted on that plan.

After all, the organizer of the competition was the Liyang City Lord, so the great elder did not have the guts to obstruct the competition. 

Jun Changxiao did not know this, so when he saw the man stand up angrily, thought the man wanted to cause trouble, and opened fire without hesitation. 

After training the gun on him for so long, the aim was obviously on the mark, deviating only about half a meter in order to scare the opposite party. 

This was called a warning shot. 

The bullet condensed from the crystal core carried fierce strength, deeply shocking the great elder.

At that moment, he understood that if it hit him, he would definitely die or be grievously wounded. 

The great elder was frozen in place and could only glare at how Xiao Linye was punched by Xiao Zuiji, hands gripping the arm rest and countenance paling. 

The waste they expelled was beating up the one regarded as the familys future. This was definitely a good face-slapping!

Each and every Xiao Family descendent was paralyzed in their chairs, beautifully cosplaying dead grass once more. 

After the referee announced Xiao Zuiji won, the stands were silent. 

By pure physical strength, he had defeated the Martial Apprentice Stage One Xiao Linye!

Waste?

No one thought this way again. 

If they called someone who could beat a Martial Apprentice waste, then what were they?

Xiao Zuiji stopped in the winners area, feeling the way everyone looked at him. He was expressionless as he commented, Ive regained the feeling from five years ago

What feeling?

The feeling of countless peoples envy. 

At that time, he enjoyed the attention very much and had the proper arrogance of a peerless genius. However, the past five years had completely changed his worldview, allowing his mind to be as calm as still water.

Junior brother! Su Xiaomo was squatting in another zone, but he lifted a thumb up. Good job!

Xiao Zuiji smiled brightly. 

Only in front of his sect leader and martial brothers did his dispirited face show a pure smile.

The final disciple to fight in the fifth round was Tian Qi. 

Because his opponent was Martial Apprentice Stage One, he had to use both his Meridian Opening Stage Twelve and physical body strength, spending some trouble to win. 

After the hell-like training, with the Qi Gathering Array and the Tendon Altering Sutras 50% success increasing abilities, Tian Qi had gone from Stage Five to Stage Twelve.

Calculating it carefully, he had basically opened one meridian per day!

Fifth round eighth round, the winner is Tian Qi! the referee shouted.

Tian Qi and his Meridian Opening Stage Twelve cultivation beating a First Stage Martial Apprentice made the arena go silent once more. 

[Ding!Five disciples have entered the sixth round, Epic Mission completion is as 50%. Host has obtained 20 contribution points.]

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 112/500.]

Jun Changxiao muttered, Zuiji and Tian Qi will meet in the zone finals.

That was right. 

Zone D only had two people now, Xiao Zuiji and Tian Qi. 

The other cultivators also realized this and began to talk. If these two fought, who would be stronger? 

After the fifth round ended, each zone only had two people. 

These people would fight to pick a first per zone, who would then fight for the overall championship. 

The current results left many cultivators soulless, as of the top 8, five of them were from the Ironbone Sect!

Not a single Ironbone Sect disciple had been eliminated!

So many competitions have happened, but not once has a situation like this happened!

Too terrifying!

That Lu Qianqian and Li Qingyang are still hiding their strength. Its likely that in the following matches, theyll win!

As the people were still in shock, the referee announced, Quarterfinals first match, Li Qingyang versus Huo Yuanming!

Its starting!

Will that Ironbone Sect disciple finally use his true strength?

Under the crowds anticipation, Li Qingyang and Huo Yuanming mounted the stage.

After the referee shouted to begin, the two people simultaneously charged at each other, spiritual energy gathered around their fists, showing their potential.

Li Qingyang knew that his opponent was not simple and therefore did not continue to hide himself, erupting with Martial Apprentice Stage One cultivation. 

Hes a Martial Apprentice!

During the Hundred Sects Recruitment, he was still Opening Meridian Stage Ten. In less than two months, hes become a Martial Apprentice. Thats incredible!

Is there some pill or marvelous medicine that the Ironbone Sect has to help their disciples breakthrough?

On the stage, Li Qingyang with his true power was able to suppress the other First Stage Martial Disciple Hua Yuanning after ten exchanges. 

Victory and defeat have been decided, some of the experts judged.

Bang!

Just as they said, Li Qingyangs fist slithered like a snake from the side, hitting Hua Yuanning on the shoulder and sending him off the stage.

Hehe. With a smile, Su Xiaomo said, When Second Senior Brother is serious, hes honestly terrifying!

Quarterfinals first match, the winner is Li Qingyang!

Many cultivators felt their mouths twitching.

They knew that Li Qingyang was strong, but they didnt expect that when he used his full strength, he could so easily defeat a same ranked opponent!

Lu Qianqian then entered the stage and made the audience even more gobsmacked, because after the match began, she almost instantly defeated a Martial Apprentice Stage Two.

Correct. 

A Second Stage Martial Apprentice.

A participant that strong, would have been either first or second place in all previous competitions!

The Sect Martial Arts Competition should get harder and harder, but for these two Ironbone Sect disciples, why does it seem easier and easier?

Many cultivators mentalities had already collapsed from the repeated shocks. 

Jun Changxiao nodded, Very good, very good.

Two disciples occupied the top 4, one step closer to occupying the top 3!

Then Su Xiaomo went on stage.

His opponent was Zhang Linhe, the outstanding Second Stage Martial Apprentice from the sixth-rate Yingwu Sect. 

Many experts concluded that the Ironbone Sect disciple would not be able to win and would be eliminated here. 

Who knew, right after the match started, Su Xiaomo depended on his footwork to zip around the stage, now allowing Zhang Linghe to corner him.

Too fast!

An advanced step technique?

Its possible!

Many of the martial artists did not understand how Su Xiaomo was so quick and concluded he was using a high-grade technique.

The reality?

He didnt use anything, depending only on his pair of short legs. 

Su Xiaomo did not just randomly run about, but seized opportunities here and there to make attacks from behind Zhang Linghe. Whether they landed or not, he would immediately retreat after an attack. 

This gradually enraged Zhang Linghe, who released his spiritual power and recklessly wielded it. 

Yah, you cant hit me, are you angry? Yah-yah-yah, you missed again, are you angry? Su Xiaomo dodged time and time again, not forgetting to provoke his opponent. 

The arrogant Zhang Linghe was angered to the point that his lungs were about to burst, attacking crazily. 

After almost thirty minutes, his energy consumption was excessive. He stood there panting, vision blurring slightly. 

Go down! Su Xiaomo seized the opportunity and flew in from the side, sending his opponent off with a flying kick. 

Good! 

Zhang Linghe hadnt even hit the floor before Jun Changxiao started to applaud. 

Now that Su Xiaomo was the zones first place, without even considering the match between Zuiji and Tian Qi, the finals were already going to be an Ironbone Sect civil war. 

Putong!

Zhang Linghe fell off the stage, a footprint in the middle of his face. 

Is this a dream?

The cultivators were absent-minded, the shock in their hearts hard to describe using words. 

Zone A champion, Li Qingyang.

Zone B champion, Su Xiaomo.

Zone C champion, Lu Qianqian.

Zone D champion, either Xiao Zuiji or Tian Qi.

The champions of all four zones would be someone from the Ironbone Sect. 

This was absolutely the first time a situation like this had happened in the history of the competition!
