Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 1936: Find a Way to Stall
Li Chao fell heavily to the ground.
A cloud of dust on the arena was shaken into the air.
Blood stained the surroundings red.
"Li Chao!"
"Chao’er!"
Li Zeliang and a group of experts from the Li Family cried out in grief, especially Li Zeliang, whose eyes were blood-red, looking deranged.
Those from the Feiyang Continent looked at the fallen Li Chao with trembling hearts and disbelief on their faces.
Powerful figures from various continents gazed at Li Chao, their hearts shaken.
Li Chao, the number one prodigy of the Feiyang Continent’s younger generation, was highly regarded by all strong contenders from the Seven Continents before the Holy War, even the Star Moon Pavilion was certain that Li Chao would definitely win first place in this Seven Continents Holy War!
But now, Li Chao was dead!
Fallen on the arena!
"Dead, dead!" Experts from the Star Moon Pavilion looked at the fallen Li Chao, their minds completely blank.
The Star Moon Pavilion compiled information and ranked the disciples of each Holy War. In many previous sessions, the disciples whom the Star Moon Pavilion predicted would claim first place indeed did so.
But this time, Li Chao was dead!
Killed by Yang Xiaotian, a disciple whom the Star Moon Pavilion had only thought could barely make it into the top seventy!
Qian Ye Saint looked at the fallen Li Chao, his face pale.
Although he, like Li Chao, was at the peak of the Saint King Third Layer Realm, in terms of combat strength, he was slightly inferior to Li Chao. After all, Li Chao not only had the Infinite Dao Heart, but also had five thousand nine hundred and sixty grade Golden Lotus, even his Holy Path was higher than his.
If even Li Chao was dealt with in two moves by Yang Xiaotian, then would he not also be just a two-move affair for Yang Xiaotian?
And the other disciples who intended to kill Yang Xiaotian also felt a chill in their hearts.
Yang Xiaotian stood with his blade, coldly gazing at Li Chao’s corpse before him, then retrieved the two stalks of Two hundred million-year-old divine medicine from his body.
This was what Li Chao lost to him.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian take away the two stalks of Two hundred million-year-old divine medicine from Li Chao, Li Zeliang roared with bloodshot eyes: "Yang Xiaotian, my Li Family must kill you, we will tear you to pieces!"
That fierce expression sent shivers down people’s spines.
Ignoring Li Zeliang’s murderous intent, Yang Xiaotian walked off the arena and returned to the people of Hongmeng Academy.
The people from Hongmeng Academy and the Three Pure Continents were all cheering excitedly for Yang Xiaotian.
The Seven Holy Masters watched Yang Xiaotian from afar, their eyes full of admiration and satisfaction.
Soon, the other disciples also finished their first arena battles.
Next, the disciples continued to draw lots to decide the opponents for their second arena battles.
This time, Yang Xiaotian’s opponent was the Young Master of the Helian Family from Feiyang Continent.
When the Young Master of the Helian Family saw he drew Yang Xiaotian, his face changed dramatically.
Not only did the Young Master of the Helian Family’s face change dramatically, but even Helian Cheng and the many experts of the Helian Family trembled with both hands.
The Young Master of the Helian Family had extraordinary combat power, and in the rankings of the Star Moon Pavilion, he was expected to make it into the top ten of this Holy War. Had it been before, if the Young Master of the Helian Family faced Yang Xiaotian, he would certainly have been bold and eager to battle hard against Yang Xiaotian.
But after witnessing Li Chao fall on the arena just now, he no longer had the ambition to fight Yang Xiaotian again.
Therefore, merely stepping on the arena, the Young Master of the Helian Family conceded directly.
Seeing the Young Master of the Helian Family concede directly, everyone sighed, however, no one looked down on him. After all, the one who made the Young Master of the Helian Family concede was Yang Xiaotian, possessing the First of Eternity Heart and Fourteenth Defying Heaven’s Top Tier Holy Body.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian won the second match effortlessly.
The subsequent arena battles were the same; whoever drew Yang Xiaotian conceded as soon as they stepped onto the arena.
No one dared battle Yang Xiaotian.
In the hearts of the disciples, Yang Xiaotian was already invincible.
Finally, in the battle for the top ten, Yang Xiaotian drew Princess Tianrou and Qian Ye Saint.
Princess Tianrou and Qian Ye Saint also conceded.
Yang Xiaotian did not draw Demon Slaying Saint, because Demon Slaying Saint was defeated by Qian Ye Saint.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian claimed the first place in this Seven Continents Holy War!
The Seven Holy Masters personally presented the award to Yang Xiaotian.
Looking at Yang Xiaotian before him, his eyes were full of satisfaction as he smiled: "After all these years of guarding the Seven Saints Hall, it was not in vain; you are the pride of the Seven Continents and the pride of our Holy Realm!"
"I am proud of you!"
Then, he took out a Space Divine Artifact containing three hundred Twelve Layer Dao Holy Water, three Dao Holy Veins of Middle Grade, three hundred billion Dao Holy Veins of Lower Grade, and three Two hundred million-year-old divine medicines and gave it to Yang Xiaotian.
"Thank you, elder." Yang Xiaotian cupped his fists in gratitude.
"Do you want to undergo the Seven Saints Holy Image baptism first, or enter the Ancestor Dragon Battlefield to cultivate?" The Seven Holy Master asked with a smile.
After winning the Holy War and becoming the Son of Seven Saints, one can choose to undergo the Seven Saints Holy Image baptism and enter the Ancestor Dragon Battlefield for ten years of cultivation.
"I’ll undergo the Seven Saints Holy Image baptism first," Yang Xiaotian thought for a moment and said.
After undergoing the Seven Saints Holy Image baptism, his Divine Soul Power would surge, and the effect of cultivating in the Ancestor Dragon Battlefield would be better.
"Alright." The Seven Holy Master said with a smile, "I will now send you into the Seven Saints Hall; be sure to seize the opportunity during the Seven Saints Holy Image baptism."
Hearing the Seven Holy Master’s reminder, Yang Xiaotian’s heart stirred. Could there be some secret about the Seven Saints Holy Image unknown to the outside world?
"Understood, I will remember." Yang Xiaotian responded.
Afterward, the Seven Holy Master opened the gates of the Seven Saints Hall and led Yang Xiaotian inside.
Li Zeliang, Emperor Qian Ye, Baiye Demon, and others watched as Yang Xiaotian entered the Seven Saints Hall, their expressions unsightly.
Originally, they planned to besiege and kill Yang Xiaotian and destroy Hongmeng Academy as soon as the Holy War ended. However, they didn’t expect Yang Xiaotian to win first place and become the Son of Seven Saints!
Now that Yang Xiaotian had entered the Seven Saints Hall for the Holy Image baptism, how could they kill Yang Xiaotian?
"Wait," Li Zeliang said in a low voice.
Implying they should wait until Yang Xiaotian came out of the Ancestor Dragon Battlefield to kill him!
Emperor Qian Ye nodded.
"But, what about the three hundred billion?" a Li Family elder stammered.
Before the Holy War, Yang Xiaotian had bet one hundred billion each at the Li Family Chamber of Commerce and Qianye Shengchao Chamber of Commerce. Now that Yang Xiaotian had won first place, thirty times that is three hundred billion!
The Li Family and Qianye Shengchao each owed Yang Xiaotian three hundred billion. How would this money be paid?
Li Zeliang had only been thinking about how to kill Yang Xiaotian; he had already forgotten about this matter. Upon hearing the elder’s reminder, he recalled it, his face gloomy.
"Therefore, Yang Xiaotian must die!" Emperor Qian Ye said coldly.
In his view, as long as Yang Xiaotian died, the three hundred billion debt wouldn’t count.
But what Li Zeliang and Emperor Qian Ye didn’t expect was that the day after Yang Xiaotian entered the Seven Saints Hall, they received news that the Destroying Heaven Demon and others came to the Li Family Chamber of Commerce and Qianye Shengchao Chamber of Commerce to collect on the two hundred billion worth of notes from Yang Xiaotian.
Upon hearing this news, Li Zeliang and Emperor Qian Ye’s faces were as ugly as could be.
"Family Head, do we give or not give the three hundred billion?" the reporting elder asked weakly.
"Give? How do we give it? Will you give it? That’s three hundred billion!" Li Zeliang roared in rage, saying angrily, "Tell the chamber of commerce to find a way to stall, stall until Yang Xiaotian comes out of the Ancestor Dragon Battlefield!"
