Chapter 2658: Chapter 2659: Luo Xue and the Luo Xue Sword
Ye Luo glanced up and saw a veiled woman walking from the entrance of the arena with her hands behind her back.
Although her features were hidden, an incredibly cold aura emanated from her, an aura that even Ye Luo found striking!
She must be a formidable warrior! Moreover, her aura was somewhat peculiar!
Soon after, he heard the crowd start whispering among themselves.
"I can’t believe she’s also joining this chaotic battle!"
"Well, no matter how aloof someone may be, who can really refuse the allure of the Demon God’s Hall? Besides, no matter how high she ranks above those two noble young lords, she is ultimately just a commoner!"
"That’s true, but given her cultivation, she’s bound to make it into the Demon God’s Hall!"
"Heh, that’s uncertain. Those in the top ten are in a league of their own, but to get into the Demon God’s Hall, one must compete with the powerful elites of the royal family. There are simply too many strong contenders in the royal family!"
...
Ye Luo was somewhat speechless; she was actually ranked first among the three outstanding young talents of the tribe, being the exceptionally mysterious Luo Xue!
Luo Xue, Suo Ming, Young Lord Situ! They were the three outstanding young talents of the tribe, claimed to be rare geniuses seen once in a few centuries!
Of course, this is in reference to commoners. If placed among the royal family, or in the entire Demon God’s Hall, the situation would be different.
"Haha, this is the woman I desire. Young Lord Situ, now can you see the vast difference in our tastes?"
Upon seeing Luo Xue enter the arena, Suo Ming immediately burst into laughter.
Young Lord Situ merely sneered and said nothing.
Suddenly, the crowd felt the surrounding area grow even colder as a few snowflakes eerily drifted down from above Suo Ming’s head!
Suo Ming’s expression immediately changed, and he slapped upwards with his palm.
Instantly, a sword qi descended from the sky, slicing through the snowflakes, slashing towards Suo Ming’s palm.
The power behind his palm strike was certainly significant, yet it failed to stop this sword qi!
Suo Ming’s expression turned ugly, and he had to strike again with his palm to barely disperse the sword qi!
The crowd was astonished by the sight!
Suo Ming’s strength was well-known, yet he needed two palm strikes to defuse a single sword qi from Luo Xue! This clearly demonstrated the vast difference in their power!
What if Luo Xue were to attack with all her might?
Luo Xue’s actions left Ye Luo in awe! So she was a sword cultivator, and it seemed she had touched upon the Sword Dao!
"Ah, I’ve long heard of the legendary Luo Xue Sword, and today I am fortunate to witness it. It truly lives up to its name!"
An aged voice echoed, and it was the Emissary who had arrived, openly praising Luo Xue!
However, Luo Xue, character akin to her sword, merely nodded slightly in response to the Emissary’s praise.
But the Emissary didn’t mind, smiling as he revealed his figure from the air.
He was an elderly man with a white beard, yet his cultivation could not be underestimated—it must have reached the Martial King Realm, granting him notable status within the Demon God’s Hall.
"To hear of three remarkable commoner geniuses emerging from the tribe is a blessing for our Demon God’s Hall. Today, you must strive to perform well. For this occasion, I have come under the direct order of the Great Crown Prince to select capable subordinates for the Crown Prince, and the authority has been entrusted to me. If your abilities are indeed exceptional, I shall make the decision on your behalf!"
Hearing this, the crowd was astonished.
Does this mean the Emissary has the authority to select candidates for entry into the Demon God’s Hall!
It wasn’t like this before. The Emissary was mostly a ceremonial figure, without this kind of authority. Admission to the Demon God’s Hall was based on competitions! How was this going to fare for the royal family geniuses?
However, the Emissary’s words were not spoken lightly; they represented the intentions of the Demon God’s Hall!
Soon, everybody realized that since the Emissary acknowledged the Luo Xue Sword, it indicated that the three prodigies from the tribe had already caught the attention of the Demon God’s Hall. The Emissary’s presence really was just a formality after all!
Realizing this, many looked at the three young lords with envious expressions.
For them, gaining entry to the Demon God’s Hall would be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, skyrocketing in status!
Yet, the three young lords’ expressions didn’t change much, while Suo Ming still bore a grudge over Luo Xue’s strike.
"You mustn’t slack off, as the Crown Prince has prepared additional rewards for outstanding performances in this chaotic battle!" the Emissary smiled at the crowd.
This silenced the crowd once again. The Crown Prince was known for his generous rewards, but why was he so focused on these commoners this time?
It’s worth noting that within the realm of the Eastern Demon God Temple, there are at least dozens of tribes, and no one knows how many royal families there are, let alone commoners. Why was the Crown Prince particularly interested in the commoners of this tribe?
But Ye Luo noticed that the Emissary’s gaze lingered on him a few times! This was clearly no coincidence; the Crown Prince must have taken an interest in him as well.
Next, the Emissary took his seat, and the chaotic battle began.
The previously boisterous crowd suddenly fell silent.
The Demon Race does not follow rules and is extremely brutal, but this doesn’t mean they aren’t afraid of death. At this moment, to act rashly would be akin to courting death!
Around the three young lords, however, it had already become a vacuum area. Since the Emissary had already named these three, it would be stupid for other cultivators to provoke them, and who could afford to provoke them anyway?
Yet Suo Ming and Young Lord Situ unexpectedly made their way towards Ye Luo.
Ye Luo felt a bit helpless, as these two infamous young lords surprisingly held such grudges. Originally, Ye Luo was just an ordinary commoner, without any remarkable strength, yet these two became resentful towards him.
Suddenly, Ye Luo became the focus of everyone’s attention!
Perhaps they were all waiting for Ye Luo’s death to ignite this chaotic battle.
"Kid, I said you’d be the first to die in this chaotic battle!" Suo Ming sneered.
Young Lord Situ’s expression remained ice-cold, eyes filled with disdain.
"Situ, how about we have a contest to see who can take his life first?" Suo Ming suddenly proposed.
Situ sneered coldly, "As you wish!"
Ye Luo’s eyes also narrowed, a flash of cold light appeared, and the Lingyun Sword appeared in his hand!
This scene left many surprised, for although the Demon Race favored swords, very few demons achieved mastery in sword cultivation! Renowned sword cultivators are mostly found in the royal family or the Demon God’s Hall, as sword cultivation relies heavily on inheritance, and there’s a lack of inheritance among commoners, so naturally, renowned sword cultivators don’t emerge. Of course, Luo Xue is an exception!
Now that Ye Luo drew his sword, the crowd’s expressions grew complicated.
