Chapter 4063: Wang Xiong’s Sudden Breakthrough

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Yuan challenged Wang Xiong who was currently ranked third in the Seven Mansions Feast. It was a fight between the external help, whom the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect recruited and was suspected to come from a supreme-rank clan, and the mysterious dark horse from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor. Both of them had been undefeated in the Seven Mansions Feast so far.

A gust of wind blew past, causing the two opponents’ robes to flutter.

It was silent after Lin Dong Lai finished speaking.

Everyone held their breaths, eagerly waiting for the fight to begin. They were not surprised that the duo took their time instead of fighting immediately. It was not always advantageous to strike first, after all, in a fight between opponents with such strength. They might accidentally reveal a flaw and fall into a disadvantageous position.They would remain in a disadvantageous position if their opponent kept targeting their flaws.

“I wonder if Lin Yuan or Wang Xiong is stronger…”

Duan Ling Tian overheard a young disciple from the Pure Yang Sect say to his friend. He was also curious about this matter. After all, they were his strongest competitors to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast.

At this moment…

Swoosh!

Wang Xiong made a move first. Golden sword rays shot toward Lin Yuan.

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn immediately. The golden sword rays looked ordinary, but he knew better. He could sense how deadly the sword rays were.

This feeling was even more intense for Lin Yuan. His expression was also solemn as he made his move. A burst of destructive energy surged out of his body into his prominent divine artifact before it swept toward Wang Xiong.

When the attacks collided, the void shook. The moment the attacks collided, there was a very brief period of silence before a loud explosion rang in the air.

Swoosh!

After the first round of attacks, Wang Xiong and Lin Yuan charged toward each other with their swords in hand. The air around them surged as they engaged in fierce close combat.

Bang!

Lin Yuan rose into the sky and disappeared behind the clouds in just a blink of an eye, causing an explosion as he did so.

Another explosion rang in the air as Wang Xiong chased after Lin Yuan.

A series of explosions rang in the air after that as the clouds dispersed in the wake of the chaos. The fight above the clouds did not last long before the duo descended.

As the fight continued, the duo’s strength was slowly revealed. Currently, their strength was still comparable to the strength they used previously to defeat their respective opponents, Yuan Mo Yu and Tuo Ba Xiu. However, their strength was still rising.

“They’ve been holding back so much of their strength?!”

“I don’t think there were so many monstrous talents in the past Seven Mansions Feasts, right? They’re not even 10,000 years old, but their strength is remarkable!”

“If Lin Yuan is truly from a supreme-rank clan, it’s not surprising that he’s monstrously talented. However, Wang Xiong is definitely not from a supreme-rank force, right?”

“Who knows? There’s a Wang clan that’s a supreme-rank clan outside of the Seven Mansions. However, according to the Frozen Mountain Manor, Wang Xiong grew up in their estate, and his parents were also from there. It’s unlikely that he’s from a supreme-rank clan.”

While everyone was discussing among themselves, Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned grim. ‘They still haven’t reached their limits?’

Duan Ling Tian felt greatly pressured at this time. If the duo’s strength continued to rise, it would be impossible for him to rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast. Although he only needed to fight to a draw with them to maintain his ranking, if their strength continued to rise, he was not confident he would be able to do so.

The expression of Han Di from the United Heavens Sect was even grimmer than that of Duan Ling Tian at this moment. He knew that he was no match for the duo at all. He sighed inwardly. ‘It seems like it’s impossible for me to rank in the top three…’

It did not affect Han Di if he did not rank in the top three, but it was extremely important to the United Heaven Sect. After all, the sect had invested greatly in him. He looked at the high-ranking officials of the sect furtively. As expected, their expressions were rather unsightly at this moment.

‘I think they might be stronger than Duan Ling Tian!’ Han Di thought to himself when Wang Xiong and Lin Yuan activated their bloodline powers, ‘Duan Ling Tian doesn’t have a bloodline power, but he has the doppelganger from the law. I wonder if his doppelganger will boost his strength as much as those two’s bloodline powers. If not, he’ll definitely be defeated.’

Although Han Di only had a quick showdown with Duan Ling Tian to determine their strength, he could roughly sense Duan Ling Tian’s strength.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the two opponents were still evenly matched after using their bloodline powers.

‘It seems like the fight will end in a tie.’

Duan Ling Tian and the others, including the high-ranking officials from the various forces, all thought the fight was going to end in a tie. Based on the situation, it seemed like none of them was holding back their strength anymore.

Upon seeing this, Duan Ling Tian heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. If this was the limit of their strength, his chances of ranking first were still quite high. However, in the next moment, he suddenly sensed something, and his eyes widened immediately.

‘No!’

At the same time, Ye Chen Feng’s expression changed imperceptibly. ‘That’s interesting!’

Swoosh!

Wang Xiong suddenly burst forth with energy, tipping the balance immediately.

The sound of a sword whistling rang in the air as golden sword rays destroyed Lin Yuan’s attacks before landing on Lin Yuan!

Lin Yuan was sent flying back in the sky, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he looked at Wang Xiong incredulously as he asked, “The rudimentary form of the Sword Dao?”

Lin Yuan was also a swordsman. After spending a lot of time studying, he finally had a certain understanding of the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao. With that, he was optimistic about completely comprehending the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao in the future. However, at this time, he discovered that Wang Xiong’s comprehension of the Sword Dao was on par with his at the beginning of the fight. However, Wang Xiong suddenly had a breakthrough during the fight.

Lin Yuan did not hold back his strength earlier when he fought Wang Xiong. Not only was he wary of Wang Xiong, but he also wanted to put his own skills to the test. However, he did not expect that by doing so, he had helped Wang Xiong instead.

“Thank you!” Wang Xiong said, clearly ecstatic. He bowed and expressed his gratitude to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan sighed. “Don’t mention it. We were evenly matched, but now that you’ve comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao, I’m no longer a match for you.”

After that, Lin Yuan left the battlefield.

At the same time, Lin Dong Lai sighed inwardly. Previously, he had been certain that Lin Yuan, who represented the Howling Flames Sect, would definitely rank first in the Seven Mansions Feast. Who knew there would be Wang Xiong, the dark horse of the Seven Mansions Feast this time? He, like many others, did not expect Wang Xiong to be so strong.

The crowd was in shock and disbelief when they saw Lin Yuan leaving the battlefield. They broke into an uproar when they regained their senses.

“Wang Xiong defeated Lin Yuan?”

“He… Did he actually comprehend the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao in the midst of the fight?”

“Wang Xiong had a sudden breakthrough and defeated Lin Yuan?”

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian looked at Wang Xiong solemnly. Currently, Wang Xiong, who had comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao, was his greatest competitor for the first place.

Meanwhile, the people from the Frozen Mountain Manor were in high spirits, rejoicing over Wang Xiong’s victory. Even the Emperor of Gods who led the entourage here could not believe Wang Xiong had comprehended the rudimentary form of the Sword Dao at the critical moment and defeated Lin Yuan.
