Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3499: The Battles in the Ring (2)

And that was only one factor. Furthermore, most of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ legacies were already lost. They were far from complete, such that both the cultivation methods and the battle skills wielded by their disciples paled in comparison to even the four organisations around them.

Last and most importantly of all, every of the six disciples from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder possessed a god artifact!

Even though they were all low quality god artifacts, there was a tremendous difference between them and the supreme or even high quality immortal artifacts that the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens used.

“If no accidents happen, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens is going to lose this battle,” thought Jian Chen.

By now, the ring was already set up. A disciple from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder climbed into the ring and said arrogantly towards everyone from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, “I am Xue Ran. May I ask which fellow from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will show me some guidance?”

In the air, the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens slowly glanced past the core disciples and said, “Ping Yi, you go!”

Ping Yi was the burly man who had rushed into the sky with Jin Sang back then when they faced the threat of the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes.

With the sect master’s command, Ping Yi immediately leapt into the ring. A supreme quality immortal artifact sword had already appeared in his hand.

“Senior brother Ping Yi, you have to beat him and show the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder our power.”

“Senior brother Ping Yi, you have to show them the power of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens.”

“You have to make the disciples of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder enter standing and leave lying down.”

The disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens all called out, cheering on Ping Yi.

Very soon, the battle in the ring began. A god artifact sword suddenly appeared in Xue Ran’s hand. As the pressure of the god artifact radiated outwards, the disciple from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens’ face immediately became ugly.

“A god artifact! You’re actually using a god artifact! You underhanded cheats, this is cheating!”

“Senior brother Ping Yi’s sword is only an immortal quality god artifact, yet the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is actually using a god artifact sword. This isn’t fair!”

Gazing at the sword that radiated with a powerful pressure in Xue Ran’s hand, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens erupted with an uproar after falling silent suddenly. All of them called out with righteous indignation, finding this unfair.

The elder of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, Nong Fugui, stepped forwards and stared straight at Lang Qi from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. He said sternly, “The disciples of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens don’t have god artifacts. This battle is not fair for the disciples of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. You are fighting using unfair means.”

“Fairness? You’re talking about fairness with me here? Hahaha, what a fool. Let me ask you, since when was survival fair? Where is fairness supposed to be?” Lang Qi laughed aloud. His voice was filled with mockery.

Nong Fugui’s face darkened.

By now, an intense battle had already unfolded in the ring. Without any surprises, Xue Ran who possessed a god artifact sword was already powerful enough to surpass his peers. Ping Yi stood no chance against him at all. From the moment they began fighting, Ping Yi was firmly overwhelmed.

In the end, after clashing ten times, Ping Yi’s supreme quality god artifact was split into two, and he staggered backwards while coughing up blood. His face was pale.

Xue Ran chased after him in the meantime. The sword in his hand erupted with great energy, directly piercing towards Ping Yi’s forehead.

Ping Yi was already heavily injured with his sword broken. He no longer had the power to stop Xue Ran’s killing strike.

If the attack pierced his head, then only death awaited him.

But at this moment, a tiny part of the space in the ring underwent some undetectable changes. The changes were so miniscule that none of the Immortal Monarchs present noticed it.

The sword in Xue Ran’s hand changed directions, deflecting along an extremely natural angle. His attack that originally targeted Ping Yi’s forehead ended up hitting him in the chest.

“The attack was actually off. What a pity. We almost managed to kill one of them.” Lang Qi felt great pity in the sky.

In the ring, Ping Yi began to see red. He let out a furious roar and completely disregarded the sword in his chest. Instead, he spread his arms and embraced Xue Ran. The energy in his body surged furiously, about to blow himself up.

“Stop. Our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens admits defeat for this round!” Nong Fugui called out. His cultivation as a Third Heavenly Immortal Monarch erupted and instantly breached the protective barrier around the ring, forcefully stopping Ping Yi from detonating himself before bringing him back out of the ring. Ping Yi had already lost his mind to rage.

The Immortal Monarch from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder did not stop them. Instead, he watched this happen with a smile and said, “Wielding a god artifact as a Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal, even when it’s just a low quality god artifact, takes an extremely great toll. You better not think that Xue Ran won this match easily. In reality, less than half of Xue Ran’s energy remains. If your disciple held on for a little longer, Xue Ran would have lost from running out of energy.”

“Xue Ran, you come down. You no longer have enough energy.”

Xue Ran cupped his fist towards Lang Qi from the ring and said politely, “Great elder, I can keep fighting!”

“So be it. Since you want to continue, then you can fight another match.” Lang Qi nodded. He looked towards the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens and smiled resplendently. “Chen Shuzhi, send the second disciple of your Sword Sect of Violet Heavens into the ring.”

Chen Shuzhi showed no particular emotion yet again and said nothing. The disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens down below had all become silent by now as well. They no longer possessed their former confidence.

“Let me, sect master!” Suddenly, Jin Sang cupped his fist towards Chen Shuzhi as he sought permission.

“Permitted!” Chen Shuzhi said.

Very soon, Jin Sang entered the ring, but as soon as the battle began, he began to burn his soul and vital energies without any hesitation. At the cost of his health, he obtained great power beyond what he was normally capable of.

On the other side, Xue Ran smiled coldly. With a flip of his hand, he ate a God Tier pill as quickly as he could. Immediately, the depleted energy in his body recovered at an unbelievable rate.

“A God Tier pill. He actually even has a God Tier pill on him. How shameless.”

The core disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens saw what Xue Ran did, and they all lamented and felt indignation. First a god artifact, now a God Tier pill. Compared to the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was far too miserable.

Since Jin Sang had ignited his soul and vital energies, he temporarily reached a stalemate against Xue Ran who wielded a god artifact. Sword Qi shot across the ring as the sound of clashing weapons rang out again and again. Shockwaves of energy slammed against the barrier around the ring furiously.

However, after clashing over a hundred times, Jin Sang was still the one to lose. After being knocked away by Xue Ran’s sword, he collapsed and was unable to get up anymore.

He was not dead, but he was covered in wounds and blood. His presence was feeble.

On the other side, Xue Ran was also covered with injuries, and his face was just as pale. His energy had already been completely depleted. He currently supported himself with his god artifact as he stood in the ring on the bring of tottering over, fishing out a second God Tier pill from his Space Ring with difficulty before ingesting it.
