Chapter 166 – Preemption
“Blacksmith Zhang, good job!”
“Blacksmith Zhang, a real man!”
When Blacksmith Zhang got off the stage, he was cheering for the two cultivators who were fighting with the same cultivation level as him. Yang Tiangang hurried over and thanked him: “Brother Zhang, thank you very much!”
Before, Blacksmith Zhang did not rely on his courage to endure, but now, his face was pale white, as though his internal organs were severely injured. When he saw Yang Tiangang approaching, he forced a smile, and said: “Thank god for the mission!”
Yang Tiangang immediately called over two villagers to support Blacksmith Zhang back to his house, and then prepared the candidates for the next round.
This caused Shi Jiutong to be greatly angered, but the two big brothers were not someone he could control. Fortunately, the following third stage Tuqiu Village could only send out one more cultivator with the first level of martial arts realm, while his own side still had the upper hand in terms of cultivation.
Shi Jiutong had high hopes for his own family’s brother Shi Nansheng, in the past two years, even though Shi Nansheng’s cultivation had not broken through, he had pushed it to the peak of the second level of martial arts realm. He had also taken care of him quite a bit, and his strength had increased by quite a bit, far from something that the big and strong could compare to.
His village aside from the two low-ranked magic tools in the hands of the Xiong brothers, in total, it was only a mid-ranked and a low-ranked magic tool. The mid-ranked magic tool was in’s hands, and the low-ranked magic tool was in Shi Nansheng’s hands.
On the other side of the Tuqiu Village, there were one high-grade magic tool and two mid-grade magic tools. The Xu family had some background, one mid-grade magic tools was nothing much, while Yang Tiangang was born in a Prominent Class of the Chenyu County, although one of the High quality magical equipment sounded scary, but in the end, it was still acceptable. However, the Blacksmith Zhang was just a blacksmith, how could he have a mid-grade magic tool in his hands?
There were even rumors saying that the Xu family actually had another low rank magical equipment, but they had never seen Xu Erchen use it before, could it be that Xu Sanniang had never given it to him?
Why was the Tuqiu Village so arrogant all these years? Why was it that despite two years of famine, no one dared to touch the Tuqiu Village? Other than Yang Tiangang’s Wasteland Town’s strength, those three magical equipment were also one of the reasons that caused people from all over the place to be wary of him. Even if Shi Jiutong advanced to the third stage of martial arts realm himself, he would only have the courage to plan and plan for the Tuqiu Village after he pledged allegiance to the Xiong Family.
Nan Sheng, the next match will be Yang Tiangang’s wife, Han Xiumei. She is just a woman at the first level of martial arts realm, and I heard that the cultivation technique he cultivates is only a fourth level technique, remember, you must finish it quickly, and do not waste too much spirit essence!
Two years ago, during the battle at the upper end of Qinshui, Shi Nansheng had shown mercy to Han Xiumei. That time, it looked like it would have been useless to injure Han Xiumei, but Shi Jiutong had still kept that matter in mind, afraid that his brother would make another mistake, and gave him some sincere advice.
However, Shi Jiutong’s words were in vain, and just as he finished speaking, he saw that Shi Nansheng had an absent-minded expression, and his gaze had already passed Shi Jiutong, and stared at the other party from afar, witint of shock in his eyes.
Shi Jiutong’s heart sank, thinking that perhaps Yang Tiangang was already prepared for this, and was able to call for reinforcements. However, when he turned his head to look at his, he was startled, and then immediately found it funny, and said: “Haha, Yang Tiangang, could it be that your Tuqiu Village doesn’t have anyone else, and wants a child to go up to fill the numbers?”
When Shi Jiutong followed Shi Nansheng’s gaze towards the arena, he discovered that the person who was walking toward the side of Yang Tiangang was not the Han Xiumei that he expected, but rather a sixteen to seventeen year old youth who was somewhat similar to Yang Tiangang.
When Shi Jiutong mocked her, he also remembered the reason of Shi Nansheng’s shock. It was not because of the opponent’s strength, but rather because of the opponent’s age, a youth who had advanced to the martial arts realm at the age of sixteen or seventeen, was truly shocking. Wasn’t this a genius that only appeared in Heaven-Shaken Sect or those famous and powerful clans?
Speaking of which, this young man was quite famous in the Wasteland Town. The Qian Chunlai who had used a bow and arrow to shoot through the martial arts realm twice had caused this popular candidate who was guarding the Wasteland Town to lose his reputation, thus Shi Jiutong was able to recognize that he was Yang Tiangang’s eldest son.
However, although Shi Jiutong was surprised, he did not think that the young lad was Shi Nansheng’s match. To advance one’s martial arts realm at such a young age, with who knows how many elixirs and medicines piled up behind him, raising his cultivation would bleasure, but how could his foundation possibly hold the strength of those like them who had progressed to this stage step by step?
However, Yang Tiangang acted as if he did not hear Shi Jiutong’s ridicule, and only said: “The person who will be fighting in the third round of Tuqiu Village is my son, Yang Junshan.”
A sixteen year old Martial Realm Cultivator actually had such an astonishing figure in such a desolate place like the Tuqiu Village. Even the cultivators from the three powerful families of the Mengyu County who were spectating the battle couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Although Han Xiumei had advanced to the martial arts realm, her strength could only be considered average amongst cultivators of the same cultivation level, and even though she had mastered a spirit technique, the inheritor of the spirit technique was right here, so there was no chance of winning against Shi Nansheng at all.
At this time, there was no need for Yang Junshan to hide his cultivation. Even though he was only a cultivator with the first level of martial arts realm, when it came to strength, Han Xiumei was definitely not his match.
In fact, if it wasn’t because he was afraid of exposing Wu Shuo’s identity as a witch, Yang Junshan had actually wanted to let him fight with Shi Nansheng, since Wu Shuo was already at the fourth level of the Power Spell Realm. Although his cultivation had already fallen to the first level of the Power Spell Realm, his true strength was still fighting against cultivators at the second level of the martial arts realm.
When Yang Junshan walked onto the stage, he could feel countless tyrannical spirit senses around him like whirlwinds, constantly searching for something without restraint. There was even a tyrannical spirit sense rushing towards him like a violent storm, although it was unable to harm him, it was able to shake his mind.
The range of Yang Junshan’s Spiritual Sense was slightly weaker compared to cultivators of the same cultivation level, but it was because of the fact that he had forcefully compressed his own Spiritual Sense twice as much, and because of this, his Spiritual Sense was also much tougher than cultivators of the same cultivation level. Even with the sudden pressure of this Spiritual Sense, Yang Junshan was able to remain calm.
Yang Junshan suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiong Family’s butler for a look, only to see him squinting his eyes, as though he did not care about him, but Yang Junshan could still seint of surprise in his eyes.
Hmph, a cold snort came from Song Wei’s mouth, and similarly, a spiritual consciousness comparable to that of Xiong Duanzhong appeared. Like a giant boulder falling from the sky, it instantly smashed down in front of Yang Junshan, intercepting the spiritual consciousness that came at him from all directions. It was as if a huge wave had smashed inteef, and instantly shattered the huge wave into pieces.
The grey hair on the steward’s head of Xiong Family moved without any wind, his entire body seemed to sway unnoticeably, and Song Wei said: “You want to go up on stage at such a young age, do you know how dangerous this battle is?”
Yang Junshan could feel the astonishment in Song Wei’s eyes and the defense in his words, but he still replied, “Reporting to Senior, this junior knows!”
Song Wei paused, his gaze swept across Yang Junshan’s body for a moment, before he spoke: “Since it’s like that, then who is the one fighting technique in Stone Village?”
Shi Nansheng took a deep breath and walked into the arena, “I am Shi Nansheng from Stone Village!”
Yang Junshan laughed and said: “Please!”
Shi Nansheng looked at the tender face in front of him, as he was unwilling to make the first move no matter what, and said: “It’s better if you make the first move!”
Yang Junshan laughed and said: “Alright then, see this move!”
Yang Junshan’s expression immediately changed when he heard Yang Junshan’s finger, and the sharp whistling sound rushed straight towards Shi Nansheng’s chest with the power of a gold shard. Shi Nansheng had no doubt that if the stone slicing technique was really executed, a bloody hole would definitely be opened in his chest.
Without waiting for Shi Nansheng to try to dodge, Yang Junshan extended two more fingers in a row, sealing off other positions that he could dodge in, and forced Shi Nansheng to forcefully receive this life technique of his.
Shi Nansheng’s expression sunk, he did not expect the youth in front of him to be so old and ruthless. His main plan was to let Yang Junshan take the opportunity to attack first and gain the upper hand in an attempt to attack first.
But so what? Shi Nansheng didn’t appear to be panicking at all, after all, the other party only had the first level of martial arts realm, not to mention, he was only a child!
Shi Nansheng placed his palms on his chest and abdomen in front of him, and a trace of foul energy immediately condensed in the center of his palms. After that, this foul energy suddenly turned into a long turbid snake, which quickly swallowed the life spell that Yang Junshan had pointed out.
Shi Nansheng was filled with confidence, both of his hands formed hand seals, causing a bit of impure Qi to condense again, waiting for his own technique to destroy Yang Junshan’s stone shrapnel technique before attacking back.
Pop! A crisp sound of a bubble bursting was heard. Shi Nansheng was shocked, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The Shattered Rock Art that he thought he could break easily with his higher cultivation had disappeared the moment it clashed with the long turbid snake!
How was this possible? How could his technique have such a strong power? It was actually able to resist a spell that was condensed from foul air. After all, his cultivation was still a level higher than his!
However, Yang Junshan did not give him any time to think, he took action first, and started to prepare another technique the moment the Crushing Stone Technique was used, and in the moment that the turbid air snake exploded, a ball of gray fog was already rolling towards him, Shi Nansheng had no choice but to disperse the hand seal he had just formed, and started to cast another technique, allowing Yang Junshan to snatch the opportunity back again.
