Nine Yang Sword Saint
Chapter 91 - The Split Second Killing at the Wheel Challenge
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yang Dingtian had come back. He managed to return at the crucial moment.
Suddenly, it was as if there was a whirlwind in the arena as all of the disciples of Cloud Sky City stood up to see what the legendary useless person looked like.
Those disciples who had hopes for Yang Dingtian wanted to see what the successor picked by City Lord Ximen looked like.
Although Yang Dingtian was very famous in Cloud Sky City, there weren’t many who had seen him in person.
……
“I never thought that he would really come. A madman is truly a madman. He even came here to seek death.”
“Yeah, he was just an enlightener five days ago and even dares to come for the competition. His brain must have been completely destroyed from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. He must be hallucinating, believing that he’s very powerful. That’s why he came to seek death.”
The crowd began to make good and bad comments about him.
As for the disciples who held expectations for Yang Dingtian, he came back right at the critical moment, but they dared not have high hopes for him. After all, he was merely an enlightener a few days ago, and the weakest disciple eliminated through the competition was a Three-star Xuan Martial Artist. No matter how they saw it, Yang Dingtian had no hope at all.
The handsome Qin Shaobai looked at Yang Dingtian, laughed, and said, “He is Yang Dingtian? He really came to seek death? Looks like he really did injure his brain from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. Elder Tang, your City Lord Ximen’s judgment was not an ordinary sort of bad.”
Qin Shaobai did not show even the slightest bit of respect towards Ximen Wuya in his speech.
“Who doesn’t think so?” Tang Boshao laughed.
“It’s a pity that a beauty like Ximen Yanyan is being ruined. But, I don’t really mind.” Qin Shaobai shook his head as he sighed. Then, his greedy eyes looked over towards Yanyan’s fiery and delicate body.
This Qin Shaobai was really ruthless. His brother Qin Huaiyu had eyed Yanyan first, but he didn’t care at all and showed his desire for her openly.
Not just Qin Shaobai, many of the disciples also showed disappointed expressions after seeing Yang Dingtian.
So, he was Yang Dingtian. He looked ordinary, not particularly wise or great.
Yang Dingtian looked extremely unsightly as he was covered with dust and his clothes were ragged.
……..
Looking at how Yang Yan ignored him, Yang Dingtian shouted once again, “Elder, Yang Dingtian has come to participate in the elimination battle!”
Yang Yan acted impatient. “But the time has already passed, and the elimination battle has already ended.”
Tang Boshao walked up and said, “Elder, since he already came, why not give him a chance? Let everyone see what kind of person City Lord Ximen chose to be the successor.”
Yang Yan said coldly, “Okay, let them see clearly that not simply any cat or dog could become head of Cloud Sky City. You handle the rest!”
“Yes!” Tang Boshao said.
Then, he gradually walked towards the front of the higher stage, looked at the few thousand disciples below and said, “Our gracious City Lord Ximen made Yang Dingtian the next successor of Cloud Sky City, and I know that many of you have high hopes for him deep down! Then today, we will let you all see clearly whether Yang Dingtian is qualified to be the successor of Cloud Sky City or not. We shall see what City Lord Ximen envisioned.”
Tang Boshao’s speech was obviously attempting to use Yang Dingtian to damage the prestige and status of Ximen Wuya.
Then, Tang Boshao looked at Yang Dingtian and said, “Yang Dingtian, although you managed to rush back before sunset, the elimination battle has already ended, and it’s impossible to allow you to participate in the competition. So, we can only use the old rule.”
Upon hearing mention of the old rule, Peipei and Ximen Lie’s expressions changed immediately.
Yang Dingtian frowned and asked, “Old rule, what old rule?”
Tang Boshao said, “The old rule is the Battle Ring Wheel Challenge. You will be on the battle stage, and all ten disciples who failed in the elimination battle will be able to challenge you. As long as you lose one match, you will lose the entire elimination competition and get kicked out of Cloud Sky City!”
(TL note: Wheel challenge is the tactic of several people taking turns to fight one opponent to tire him out)
“Then, how can I win?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“If you beat three people, then you win the entire competition,” Tang Boshao said. “That way, you will qualify to stay in Cloud Sky City and also qualify to participate in the final competition for the City Lord’s position that will be held during winter next year.”
After listening to the conditions that Tang Boshao stated, Ximen Lie and Mrs. Ximen’s facial expressions changed, but they did not stand up to object. This was because it truly was an old rule of Cloud Sky City.
But, there were weird expressions on many of the faces in the field. Yang Dingtian was merely an enlightener five days ago, and now, he would be accepting challenges from ten Xuan Martial Artists. Isn’t that a ridiculous joke?
Tang Boshao said sarcastically, “This is the old rule. Are you willing to stand on the battle stage and accept the Wheel Challenge?”
“I am willing to,” Yang Dingtian said.
“Then, head on up,” Tang Boshao said.
…..
Yang Dingtian slowly walked up the battle stage and officially accepted the Wheel Challenge.
Tang Boshao looked at the ten people who were eliminated earlier and said, “Anyone who wants to challenge Yang Dingtian, get on the stage!”
After he finished talking, no one went up or even replied.
Tang Boshao asked again, “Who wants to challenge Yang Dingtian?”
Still, no one answered!
When Tang Boshao asked for the third time, someone finally walked out and said, “With respect to the Elder Society, although we have already failed in the elimination battle, asking us to fight an enlightener is too much of an insult. We will not go on stage!”
After he finished talking, everyone on the field burst into laughter!
Instantly, the field became awkward as they felt that Yang Dingtian was too weak, and no one was willing to challenge him.
Tang Boshao frowned a little. Someone had to defeat Yang Dingtian on stage for them to be able to officially kick him out of Cloud Sky City.
Yang Yan said calmly, “Whoever beats Yang Dingtian will be able to stay in Cloud Sky City!”
As soon as he announced that, the expressions of those ten people changed. Looking extremely excited, they all rushed out.
“I challenge him!”
“I challenge him!”
Ten people were fighting for the chance because in their eyes, Yang Dingtian was a free prize-dispensing machine.
Then, Tang Boshao shouted, “The weakest from the elimination battle, come out!”
A male youth walked out. He was the one with the weakest cultivation that was eliminated just now.
“What is your name? What is your Xuan energy rank?” Tang Boshao asked.
“Sun Hao, Three-star Xuan Martial Artist,” the youth said.
Tang Boshao said, “Sun Hao, you are the weakest in Cloud Sky City. Go and have a match with Yang Dingtian! Let people see clearly who the successor chosen by City Lord Ximen is.”
Instantly, Sun Hao’s expression filled with excitement. He never thought that such a good opportunity would land in his lap. He said excitedly, “Yes, Elder.”
Then, he jumped high up and landed on the battle stage!
Tang Boshao looked at Yang Dingtian impatiently and said,” Sun Hao, be quick. Don’t waste everyone’s time!”
“Yes!” Sun Hao said. Then, he pulled out his sword and said, “Yang Dingtian, please!”
Yang Dingtian nodded and walked in front of Sun Hao. He also took out his weapon, the strange Millennium Owl blade.
The moment he took out his weapon, everyone on the field burst into laughter.
Such an ugly weapon. Such rubbish. Yes, the Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword containing the violent aura looked like an ugly piece of ruined metal.
“Yang Dingtian’s brain was really damaged from learning the Pig Killing Swordsmanship. He even picked up such a weapon from the trash!”
“Let’s start, Yang Dingtian!” Sun Hao said excitedly. He looked at Yang Dingtian with a dissatisfied look. Even though he was placed last in the elimination battle, it seemed like he did not place Yang Dingtian in his eyes.
“Please!” Yang Dingtian said, holding his Millennium Owl Gigantic Sword at the ready.
“Wait…,” Yanyan suddenly shouted. She immediately ran up to the arena.
Then, she walked to Yang Dingtian and said gently, “Yang Dingtian, you did not let me down as you eventually came back. Even if you were to lose and get kicked out of Cloud Sky City, I will leave with you and continue to be your wife. I believe that you will become strong one day, and I believe that you will be able to return to Cloud Sky City one day.”
After she said her piece, before Yang Dingtian could even open his mouth, she ran off the battleground.
Looking at this scene, Qin Shaobai’s expression changed, and his eyes showed a glimmer of coldness.
Then, he pretended to yawn impatiently and took out a gold coin from his pocket. “Sun Hao, to save everyone’s time, I will flip this gold coin. As long as you are able to end this match before it hits the ground, I will grant you a bag of gold coins.”
Then, Qin Shaobai glanced at Sun Hao calmly.
If Sun Hao was smart enough, he would have understood what Qin Shaobai meant. He was not to just beat Yang Dingtian before the coin falls but to give him a blood-soaked ending. If he managed to do so, then he would become Qin Shaobai’s man.
Sun Hao’s blood heated up. As long as he managed to cling to Qin Shaobai’s coattails, his future would definitely be very bright.
Instantly, Sun Hao’s gaze towards Yang Dingtian became violent and cold. “Yang Dingtian, swords have no eyes. Please don’t be surprised!”
“No problem!” Yang Dingtian said.
Qin Shaobai shot the gold coin into the air. This signified that the match had begun!
“Kill…..,” Sun Hao shouted, brandishing his sword, using all of his strength and Xuan energy, rushing towards Yang Dingtian!
Yang Dingtian stood still in the same place as if he wasn’t aware that the opponent was coming.
Sun Hao appeared before him within seconds and aimed his sword directly at Yang Dingtian’s body, striking down at lightning speed.
He was about to split Yang Dingtian’s body in half. He wanted to slit his throat and open his stomach.
Seeing how Yang Dingtian stood still, those who supported him lost their hope. Had he really gone mad from cultivating the Pig Killing Swordsmanship? The opponent intended to slit open his stomach, but he wasn’t even attempting to dodge.
There was a glimpse of hope in Sun Hao’s eyes, and he said in his heart, “Yang Dingtian, don’t blame me. I had to use you as a stepping stone to get Qin Shaobai’s favor!”
Sun Hao put all of his energy into his sharp sword and was about to cut through Yang Dingtian.
“Ahh…” Countless spectators were shocked and closed their eyes instinctively, not willing to see the violent scene.
Sun Hao’s sharp sword was just an inch away when the Strange Millennium Owl Blade held by Yang Dingtian sliced outwards like lightning!
The third move of Pig Killing Swordsmanship: Chop off the head!
“Dang…” A loud sound resounded as the sword swung. Blood splattered over the entire area!
“Ahh…” A horrible scream echoed followed by a human figure flying dozens of meters away, spurting blood in midair, flying off the battle stage, and slamming into the ground. It was hard to tell if he was dead or alive.
The one who flew out was Sun Hao.
One move, Yang Dingtian used only one move, and the opponent was killed!
At the moment, Qin Shaobai’s gold coin had yet to land!
