Just as Feng Kun had expected, just a few hours later, the news of the life-and-death battle between Yang Qi and Xu Dahai spread throughout the imperial capital.
Two geniuses fighting to the death on the bloody arena, such a thing has not happened for many years, it is not that geniuses on the genius list have not fought and died, but most of them were when they were training outside. Such a direct life-and-death battle is extremely rare.
Therefore, as soon as this news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of countless practitioners. However, most practitioners were not optimistic about Yang Qi. After all, Yang Qi was only ranked around 50th on the Tianjiao List, while Xu Dahai was ranked 22nd!
Just when everyone was wondering why Yang Qi would accept this life-and-death battle that was almost doomed to failure, news came from the Wanxiang Tower that Yang Qi had already reached the mid-stage of the Seven-Star Martial Sect. At the same time, his ranking was directly raised to the 36th place on the Tianjiao List.
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. When the news spread, the practitioners who originally had little confidence in Yang Qi immediately understood how Yang Qi dared to accept a life-and-death battle with Xu Dahai. It was not that Yang Qi overestimated his own abilities, but that the other party did have this strength!
The headquarters of Liuyun Sect.
"Senior Brother Xu, this is the information about Yang Qi from Wanxiang Tower." A young man came to a small courtyard holding a roll of animal skin. Two young men were sitting in front of a stone table and chatting in the courtyard.
"You step back first." Xu Dahai took the animal skin and said lightly.
The young man nodded slightly and respectfully left the courtyard. However, before leaving, his eyes fell on the young man next to Xu Dahai, and a hint of horror flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Martial Master!
The person sitting next to Xu Dahai is a powerful martial arts master!
"Junior brother, he is just a kid in the middle stage of Seven Star Martial Sect. Why are you collecting information about him?" The young man looked at the animal skin in Xu Dahai's hand, shook his head slightly and chuckled.
Although Yang Qi killed Wu Ying, those who had detailed intelligence on this matter knew that Yang Qi relied more on the power of puppets. Yang Qi's own strength was only slightly stronger than Wu Ying. After that, Yang Qi's cultivation level improved all the way, but in fact he had no outstanding achievements.
Moreover, with his cultivation level improving so fast, it was a question whether Yang Qi had mastered his own strength or not. Moreover, with the cultivation level of a Martial Master, the young man would naturally not take a Seven-Star Martial Sect seriously.
"I have seen Yang Qi before. There is no sign of instability in his aura. His cultivation has improved so quickly perhaps due to some chance, but it definitely has not affected his own foundation." Xu Dahai said seriously. He personally came to Yang Qi's house to arrange a life-and-death battle. In addition to forcing Yang Qi to agree, he was also secretly observing Yang Qi. In a life-and-death battle, even if Yang Qi's cultivation was not as good as his, he would not dare to be careless.
"If that's the case, it would be quite interesting." A gleam of light flashed in the young man's eyes. He naturally had no doubt about Xu Dahai's vision. If Yang Qi's strength was not weak, it would be a good training opportunity for Xu Dahai.
“Yang Qi, bone age 29, apprenticed to… Sword Intentions… and also cultivated physical skills, very likely an ancient combat body…” Xu Dahai looked at the record on the animal skin, his expression becoming more solemn.
Seeing Xu Dahai's serious expression, the young man was stunned and immediately asked, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the information from Wanxiang Building?"
"Brother, can you take a look for yourself?" Xu Dahai sighed softly.
Hearing this, the young man took the animal skin from Xu Dahai's hand, with a hint of surprise on his face, "I didn't expect this Yang Qi to be so extraordinary."
"He is stronger than I expected. No wonder he dared to accept a life-and-death battle before!" Xu Dahai said in a deep voice. This was the intelligence obtained by Wanxiang Tower. It was very valuable. However, in order to understand the enemy's strength, Xu Dahai still spent a lot of Yuanjing to buy this information from Wanxiang Tower.
According to intelligence records, Yang Qi is much stronger than he expected. Even a seven-star late-stage martial artist on the Tianjiao list may not be able to defeat Yang Qi!
“This boy’s talent is probably not inferior to Zhao Qian. Fortunately, he has not fully grown up yet, otherwise Tianjianmen would have another genius at the top of the list!” The young man sighed. Although Yang Qi was only a seven-star martial arts master, from this information, the young man knew that he had underestimated Yang Qi.
"Another Zhao Qian?" A gleam of brilliance flashed across Xu Dahai's eyes.
Today, Chu Yunlong and Zhao Qian still dominate the Tianjiao list. The only two eight-star martial masters are these two people. The Tianjiao of other major forces are all suppressed by them. Although the Tianjiao list ranks Chu Yunlong as the first, in fact, no one knows who is stronger between Chu Yunlong and Zhao Qian. Because the two had a simple fight more than two years ago, and they have not fought again in the past two years.
In other words, Chu Yunlong and Zhao Qian are of the same generation. Otherwise, with their talents, they would definitely be ranked top on the list of geniuses.
“Junior brother, it seems that your previous preparations may be used this time.” The young man looked at Xu Dahai with a smile. Although Yang Qi’s strength was somewhat beyond expectations, Xu Dahai was not unprepared. Even if Yang Qi’s strength was beyond expectations, in his opinion, Xu Dahai would still be the winner in the end.
"I didn't expect that I would have to rely on my cultivation to win in the end." Xu Dahai sighed lightly, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Since you are a cultivator who also cultivates your body, why not rely on your cultivation to win?" the young man said calmly.
Xu Dahai nodded slightly. A cultivator who is also a cultivator has much stronger combat power than ordinary cultivators. If the cultivation levels of both parties are equal, he has almost no chance of winning.
"I'm sorry to trouble you for the next three days, senior brother." Xu Dahai looked at the young man in front of him.
"Don't worry, three days are enough." The young man said with confidence. He is a Martial Lord. Although he is only a low-level Martial Lord, he is not comparable to a high-level Martial Master.
…
Feng Kun, Yang Qi and the other two can be considered friends, much closer than the ordinary Tianjian Sect disciples, so he was also included in this celebration party.
"It seems I'm overthinking!"
Looking at Liu Fei who was wolfing down the food, Yang Qi who was sipping the wine calmly, and Yun Lan who was silent, Feng Kun smiled bitterly in his heart. Why did he feel that he was the only one who took this life-and-death battle seriously? On the contrary, Yang Qi, the person involved, and Yun Lan, who had a good relationship with him, seemed to be somewhat indifferent.
"Senior Sister Yun, you said before that you had a way to help Senior Brother Yang. I wonder what it is?" Feng Kun looked at Yun Lan.
In the cultivation world, the strong are respected and the accomplished are teachers. Although Yang Qi entered the sect later than Feng Kun, his cultivation level is higher than Feng Kun's. Except for a few close practitioners, fellow disciples are judged by their strength. Therefore, Feng Kun would also call Yang Qi "senior brother".
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fei, who was eating voraciously, immediately stopped and looked at Yun Lan with the same curiosity. After all, there were only three days left, and it was not easy to improve his strength in such a short time. (To be continued)
