Chapter 1230: Chapter 1230: Two Different Things
On the Martial Arts Arena, the team battle just waits for the announcement of the 10 referees, and it can begin.
As of now, it hasn’t started, but the intense atmosphere gathering on the arena is already continuously surging.
Among them, the most intense surging comes from two colliding forces.
One force originates from the Qin Family team.
The other force comes from the combined efforts of the Fang and Guu families.
The Fang and Guu families have stood together in tacit agreement.
However, the aura of their heavenly talents is barely enough to contend with the aura of the Qin Family’s heavenly talents alone.
On this entire Martial Arts Arena, it gathers nearly the most outstanding younger generation of the Four-direction Domain.
Although there are no less than ten teams.
Almost all the strongest dozens of heavenly talents are within the Fang, Guu, and Qin families.
Moreover, more than half of the top ten heavenly talents are in the Qin Family.
Bang...
Suddenly, Nangong Yan took a step forward.
The two opposing auras in mid-air almost collapsed.
On the Qin Family’s side, they firmly suppressed the Fang and Guu families.
"Heh." Nangong Yan sneered disdainfully, "Fang and Guu families joining forces? Though their numbers are many, they are merely a bunch of clowns."
"Apart from you, Yuee Tian, who barely deserves my attention, the rest are just a bunch of trash."
"You..." Lin Dong, Guu Feng, and others’ faces turned cold.
"You what?" Nangong Yan sneered with disdain, "One ranks eighth, the other sixth, yet combined can’t withstand ten moves from this Young Master."
"Do you dare to look directly at this Young Master?"
Lin Dong, Guu Feng, and others immediately became furious.
Fang Muxue waved her hand, "Don’t pay any attention, it’s too early to determine the victor."
"Hehe." Nangong Yan looked at Fang Muxue, his eyes full of admiration.
"Miss Muxue, though I find you captivating, I still must say, why deceive yourself?"
"Hmph." Fang Muxue snorted coldly and ignored him.
On the chief seats of the viewing stand, none of the ten referees proposed any opposition or questions, exchanged glances, and then nodded.
"Since no one has any objections or questions, then the second round of the Four-direction Grand Competition will begin immediately."
The high-pitched voice spread throughout the City Lord’s Mansion.
Almost as soon as the voice fell, on the Martial Arts Arena, more than a hundred martial artists moved instantly.
Undoubtedly, this will be an intense melee.
This melee belongs to the strongest heavenly talents of each power; yet it’s also a microcosm of the struggle among various powers.
The entire battle arena was almost instantly plunged into fierce fighting.
But, only two people remained standing proudly, without making a move.
The heavenly talents involved in the surrounding melee dared not disturb these two, nor even approach.
The two faced each other from a distance, with an empty area extending dozens of meters around them, like two vast Forbidden Lands, into which no one dared to enter.
"Xiao Yi, is it?" One of them was the first to open his mouth.
The speaker was naturally the Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family, Qin Hao, currently the top heavenly talent in the Four-direction Domain.
"I’ve heard of your achievements."
"If your achievements are true, then indeed, you have the qualifications to block me for a while."
Block?
Qin Hao spoke of ’blocking’, knowing obviously that Xiao Yi intended to block him from interfering with the three families’ battle.
However, when he mentioned ’achievements are true’, he was evidently full of confidence.
Even if Xiao Yi’s achievements were true, he could only block him for a while?
The viewing seats were already filled with discussions.
"This Eldest Young Master of the Qin Family, coming out of seclusion after so long, is this arrogant?"
"Could he have turned stupid in his seclusion?"
Some watching martial artists chuckled.
Of course, all these were martial artists and forces supporting the Fang and Guu families.
On the other side, martial artists supporting the Qin Family also chuckled.
"Young Master Qin has been famous for a long time, does he need to be arrogant?"
"To speak in this way means he’s completely confident."
"Just a wild kid from who knows where, dares to provoke the Qin Family just because he has some fame? A joke."
Just as these martial artists’ words fell, suddenly, several fierce auras swept through the air.
"Is the Chief Steward of my Wind Shattering Hall just a wild kid in your eyes?" The Vice Hall Master of Wind Shattering Hall’s expression turned stern.
"You dare to insult a Sub Hall Master holding a dual hall title? You have quite the guts." The Vice Hall Master of Asura Hall squinted.
Faced with the stern gazes of several Vice Hall Masters, the martial artists who were laughing just now fell silent immediately, not daring to utter another word.
On the Martial Arts Arena.
Xiao Yi glanced at Qin Hao, feeling an inexplicable sense of threat from him almost the moment he stepped onto the arena.
He deeply understood that he could sense an unnamed threat.
Qin Hao’s presence felt even beyond Qin Family elders.
His strength was definitely beyond an ordinary Martial Arts Emperor.
"Rather than waste words, why not make your move now?" Xiao Yi smiled faintly.
"You are very confident." Qin Hao replied calmly.
"Aren’t you also confident?" Xiao Yi countered.
"Interesting." Qin Hao suddenly laughed, a hint of battle intent appearing on his face.
"However, I must still tell you, today, you can’t stop me."
"Neither the Fang nor Guu families can stop my Qin Family."
Suddenly, bang... a fierce flame shot quickly at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi didn’t dodge or evade, and before the flame got close, it was completely frozen.
"Young Master, why bother with such a person." From afar, Nangong Yan spoke aloud.
The flame just now was indeed his doing.
"Just kill him outright."
Nangong Yan said loudly, while battling two at once, steadily suppressing Yuee Tian and Lin Dong.
Not far away, Zheng Qing was engaging in combat with Fang Muxue.
Clang... suddenly, a crisp sword sound.
Zheng Qing’s sword brushed a bloody mark across Fang Muxue’s arm.
If Fang Muxue hadn’t reacted swiftly, that sword would likely have severed her arm.
"Miss Muxue, my Cold Rain Sword Zheng Qing, won’t spare delicacy." Zheng Qing sneered.
Swish...
The next second, streams of sword rain shot out fiercely, with momentum as strong as when blasting Lin Dong off the arena before.
"Unrivaled Sword Rain."
"Ah..." Fang Muxue’s face suddenly turned pale, showing panic.
Clang...
Just then, a cold white sword light flashed, scattering the Unrivaled Sword Rain in an instant.
A cold sword was pointed at Zheng Qing’s throat.
"Young Master Xiao Yi." Fang Muxue looked at Xiao Yi suddenly standing in front of her, full of joy.
"Xiao Yi, you..." Zheng Qing’s face turned cold, but feeling the chill at his throat, he dared not speak further.
In the distance, Qin Hao laughed contemptuously.
"Originally, I thought you would not interfere in the battle among the three families."
"Unexpectedly, you couldn’t hold back and made the first move."
Fang Muxue’s beautiful eyes flickered behind Xiao Yi, "Young Master Xiao Yi, are you willing to assist our Fang Family?"
Xiao Yi shook his head, glanced at Qin Hao, "Not interfering in the three families’ dispute and disregarding a friend’s life are two different matters for me."
Xiao Yi’s gaze returned to Zheng Qing in front of him.
"You can knock people off the arena; lives, however, must not be lost."
"Get lost."
As the words fell, Xiao Yi trembled his sword, instantly pushing Zheng Qing back several steps.
"You..." Zheng Qing’s face darkened.
At a distance, Qin Hao sneered contemptuously and shook his head, "You claim you won’t interfere, yet you won’t allow my Qin Family team to end Fang Muxue."
"Heh, they say my Qin Family is overbearing; but now, I don’t know who is more overbearing."
"Heh, overbearing?" Xiao Yi laughed coldly, staring at Qin Hao.
"Yes, and so what?"
...

The third update was unable to be done before 1:30, count it as owing an update; will make up two tomorrow.
