674: Chapter 672: The First Battle, Lin Xuan!

Compared to that, he was more worried about the two Venerables from the Divine Bird Palace.

However, Zhu Ning was different; he excitedly began to howl.

Not long ago, he had been humiliated by Lin Xuan, which had made him lose face.

He desperately needed an opportunity, a legitimate chance to slay Lin Xuan.

It seemed that even the heavens were helping him, as he encountered Lin Xuan in the first match of the finals.

This was definitely the best opportunity to wash away his humiliation!

Zhu Ning wore a ferocious smile, his qi and blood boiling inside him.

In his view, he had been careless last time; if he took it seriously, he would definitely be able to slay Lin Xuan!

After all, he was a genius disciple of the Divine Bird Palace, not only mastering Earth-grade Martial Arts, but also possessing the power of the Divine Bird Bloodline.

Ordinary Heavenly Prides were no match for him.

“Lin, I will skin you alive!

I’ll make you pay for provoking me!” Zhu Ning shouted like a demon, laughing wildly.

More excited than both of them was Wu Ze from Quicksand City.

That day, tickets to enter the competition arena were sold for ten times, even dozens of times their original price.

Still, countless Martial Artists were crazily buying them, willing to go bankrupt just to witness this battle.

Such a battle between Heavenly Prides was something they could not afford to miss!

The ancient Super Martial Arena, with one hundred thousand seats, quickly sold out.

But, with more than a million Martial Artists in Quicksand City, one hundred thousand seats were far from enough to satisfy their needs.

Moreover, this competition was extraordinary, nearly all contestants being of Heavenly Pride Level, a grandeur rarely seen in a century.

Thus, at the behest of the vast number of Martial Artists, the Nangong Family among other top forces had no choice but to erect huge crystal Array Formation Light Screens throughout Quicksand City, broadcasting the events within the Fighting Arena.

The major forces worked together with high efficiency, quickly setting up several large crystal light screens surrounded by intricate arrays to transmit visual information.

This way, the Martial Artists of Quicksand City felt satisfied.

Inside the Super Martial Arena, the atmosphere was extraordinary, with all one hundred thousand seats filled, the crowd dense like a torrent.

In the center of the Fighting Arena was a vast Arena, a kilometer in length and width, sufficient for the Heavenly Pride Martial Artists to fight.

Moreover, the surface of the Arena had been imbued with powerful Spiritual Power by masters of the Venerable Realm, which no Martial Artist below the Venerable Realm could damage.

Around the Super Arena, a five-colored light curtain was laid down, hundreds of Array Masters jointly managing the Array Formation Light Screen to ensure everyone’s safety.

Everything was ready; all that was needed was to start the match.

The three big families understood the spectators’ anticipation, so they did not delay and announced the start of the competition directly.

A youth dressed in Five-colored Battle Clothes, like a Divine Bird, swiftly arrived on the Arena.

His expression was proud, his eyes emitting a glow of hatred, his body emanating Divine Flame along with a killing aura, creating an imposing sight.

Naturally, the youth was Zhu Ning.

His expression cold, a sneer on his lips, he could hardly wait.

This battle, he must personally slay Lin Xuan to recover his reputation.

From afar, Lin Xuan stepped into the void, like a Banished Immortal, poised and composed, landing on the Arena.

“Little thief, today is your day of death!”

Zhu Ning stared at Lin Xuan, anger burning in his eyes.

“It seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn’t enough; you still haven’t learned your lesson, but this time I won’t let you off easily!” Lin Xuan’s lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

“Hmph, you ambushed me last time; this time, I will show you my real strength!”

Zhu Ning roared, his aura soaring, eager to prove himself.

“Just what do you think you are, daring to provoke me?

I am a genius from the Divine Bird Palace, with the Bloodline of the Divine Bird flowing within me!”

“Today, I will flay you and strip your flesh, teaching you the consequences of provoking me!”

“Muscle cramping and skin peeling?

I’m looking forward to it!” Lin Xuan snorted coldly, “But before that, I feel it’s necessary to remind you of the rules of the Fighting Arena.” “In the Fighting Arena, life and death are in the hands of fate.” Lin Xuan’s voice clearly echoed in every corner of the Fighting Arena.

“Cut the crap.

I know all these rules, so don’t bother trying to stall for time.

It won’t change anything!” Zhu Ning revealed a cruel smile, his body’s Divine Flame leaping fiercely, resembling a Fire Demon.

“If you know, that’s just perfect,” Lin Xuan smiled.

“So, this match is purely about life and death, regardless of the outcome.” Towards the end, his aura gradually solidified, like a Supreme Divine Sword slowly unsheathing.

The crowd was shocked, then burst into frenzied shouts; it seemed both were ready to fight to the death.

Martial Artists around them waved their arms and shouted, their voices like a myriad of beasts roaring, shattering the clouds in the sky.

They didn’t care who lived or died; they wanted to witness the most intense battle.

Divine Bird Palace Disciples sneered: “Daring to fight a life-and-death battle with Zhu Ning, he’s really seeking death!” They knew that Zhu Ning’s veins flowed with the Divine Bird Bloodline, which, when activated, could match the power of a Venerable.

Such a Heavenly Pride youth was certainly not someone Lin Xuan could contend with!

Thus, they smirked, eagerly awaiting the moment Lin Xuan would be slain.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you immediately.

I’m going to slice off your flesh piece by piece, letting you know what real pain is!” Zhu Ning roared ferociously, like a demon.

Behind him, a pair of hundred-meter-long flame wings emerged, flapping rapidly, shooting forward swiftly.

A vast sea of fire spread, a terrifying heat wave rampaged through the air.

Divine Flame leaped fiercely, covering most of the sky.

Zhu Ning bellowed, swinging a palm strike.

A horrifying flame palm, like a burning meteor, swiftly swept across, forcibly blasting open the whole space; countless air waves rolled and crashed against the nearby light screen, creating thunder-like sounds.

This punch was terrifying in its extremity, containing the power of a Martial Soul Embryo; even Heavenly Pride Martial Artists dared not block it directly.

Watching the terrifying tidal wave coming his way, Lin Xuan did not evade.

He had given the opponent a chance, but the opponent still showed no remorse and wanted to kill him; thus, this time, he wouldn’t hold back.

A sharp and terrifying aura burst forth from Lin Xuan, like a Supreme Divine Sword piercing through the Nine Heavens.

This aura was too sharp, causing tremors in the hearts of a hundred thousand Martial Artists, as if countless sharp swords were slashing over their bodies.

The next moment, Lin Xuan drew his Wind Shadow Sword from his waist and quickly slashed forward.

The sword light was brilliant, the cold light dazzling, like a long rainbow swiftly cutting through the void.

Pu!

Like slicing through tofu, the sharp sword light cut through the incoming fiery fist.

Then, the sword light, with an even sharper and quicker momentum, chopped towards Zhu Ning.

“What?

This can’t be!” Zhu Ning’s face drastically changed; he couldn’t believe his attack was so easily broken through.

With a roar, he prepared to counterattack.

But by then, the dazzling light had already reached him, chopping down.

In front of him, flames stirred, condensing into a simple Flame Shield in front of Zhu Ning.

However, this did not help at all; the sword light flashed, and the Flame Shield split in two.

Zhu Ning’s body also trembled, freezing there with a look of horror in his eyes.
