Free Web NovelChapter 1212: Chapter 401 Vermilion Red Lotus
Lonely on the Arena, two proud warriors face each other.
Zhongshan Wei Sun exuded a scholarly elegance, while Yan Shaofei stood tall with confidence.
One, hands behind his back, moved at ease; the other, hand on his sword, stood out distinctively. frёewebnoѵēl.com
Indeed, even among the exceptional talents at the Guanhe Platform, they were far from mediocre.
Only Dou Zhao’s Seven Forms of Battle were too dazzling, and Zhongxuan Zun’s white robe fluttered too freely.
These suppressed the renown of the other proud warriors, making them seem somewhat inferior.
But having come to this grand meeting of various country’s proud warriors, who would willingly play a supporting role?
All having reached the semi-finals, who wouldn’t fight for the top?
From the beginning, they came to the Guanhe Platform aiming for the title of the best in the world!
No matter how brilliant Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun were, they couldn’t undermine their confidence.
No matter how little the world expected, at the very least, they always believed in themselves.
Not to mention how rigorously Zhongshan Wei Sun had been taught since childhood, the bitterness he endured along the journey, and the resources he accumulated.
Could Yan Shaofei, who qualified to represent Wei Country in the Yellow River Gathering as merely a ranger and made it to the final four, have exerted lesser effort or possessed inferior talent compared to anyone else?
Every individual standing on the Arena had their own compelling reasons to win.
Thus, they braved mountains and rivers, cut through thorns, to meet here, at this moment, on this ground.
Zhongshan Wei Sun, looking at his opponent, was about to politely encourage mutual effort to exhibit the grandeur of a great country.
Unexpectedly, from the viewing seats behind him came a sudden chide from Yellow Sheri: "Fight quickly!"
After all, this wasn’t the Taixu Illusion Realm.
Nobody here knew he was Zhao Tiezhu.
Outside of Taixu Illusion Realm, Zhongshan Wei Sun was a person of scholarly demeanor.
Therefore, empathetically he clasped hands towards Yan Shaofei, "My apologies, we mean no disrespect to you. She’s just rather straightforward."
But it was like flirting with the blind.
Yan Shaofei from Wei just looked at him, his bright eyes devoid of any surplus emotions, not uttering a single word.
Zhongshan Wei Sun suddenly realized, it seemed that through several rounds of official competition, Yan Shaofei hadn’t spoken at all.
What a pity for such a prodigy, essentially mute...
Perhaps only achieving ’God Arrives’ could change such congenital mute condition?
It’d be good if he could switch places with Yellow Sheri...
Such a pity!
On the Arena, Zhongshan Wei Sun was concerned about Yellow Sheri.
Up in the stands, Great Commander of the Valiant Cavalry, Xiahou Lie, was also lecturing Yellow Sheri: "Encouraging Wei Sun isn’t bad, but we must maintain the demeanor of a great nation. In such a public setting, belittling another nation like this is inappropriate. Remember this for the future."
Yellow Sheri blinked.
I just wanted to see the handsome guys fight quicker.
Zhongxuan Zun versus Dou Zhao, how thrilling!
What’s there to see with some Wei guy I know nothing about and a Zhongshan Wei Sun I’m tired of watching?
Just fight quickly and get it over. What’s the holdup?
I meant it that way!
Nevertheless, she knew better than to speak such words directly and simply blinked in response to the Great Commander’s "instruction".
This battle, with Wei Country’s General Wu Xun watching from below.
In the unrestricted under-thirty category, Wei’s proud warriors failed to make it to the official competition, overshadowed by Song Country.
However, in the Outer Building category, they made a significant mark by entering the semi-finals!
Traditionally, these spots in the semi-finals were mostly rotated among the six major overlord countries. For Yan Shaofei to break into their ranks, and even push forward now, was no small feat.
As the driving force behind Wei’s powerful military, General Wu Xun had an imposing presence.
Hearing the people of Jing disrespectfully shouting ’fight quickly’ even before the battle started, he naturally had to support his country’s warrior, his thick brows raised, his voice thunderous: "Yan Shaofei, let the world see what you are capable of! This general waits to celebrate your victory personally!"
On the other side, Xiahou Lie continued his lengthy lecture to Yellow Sheri, talking about how they are a country of overlords, an example to the world, and must not lack dignity.
Suddenly hearing General Wu Xun’s shout, he immediately stood up, pointed at the Arena: "Wei Sun! Take him down!"
Just as Yu Xi was about to announce the start of the fight, he glanced at Wu Xun, then Xiahou Lie: "Why don’t you two preside? Or better yet, take each other on?" freewebnovёl.ƈom
Wu Xun sat down expressionlessly, as if nothing had happened just now.
Truly, if it were a one-on-one fight, he would not fear Xiahou Lie. But here on Guanhe Platform, presenting himself would be truly a laughingstock to the world.
However, Xiahou Lie behaved differently. After Wu Xun sat down, he glared fiercely at him and then sat down grandiosely, a face full of smugness, as though he had already won.
Utterly childish.
Jiang Wang sharply noticed that alongside the Pillar of the Six Unions, the supreme and towering Dharma Phase of Jingguo...
That Seven-Colored Star-Studded Imperial Robe seemed to have moved slightly.
Probably stirred by the river breeze...
Or perhaps, did the supreme one also feel somewhat embarrassed?
Dare not think, dare not think.
Jiang Wang honestly shifted his gaze back, focusing on this battle that wasn’t given much importance by most.
Yu Xi announced the start of the battle after handling the two "troublemakers", and the barrier separating the two disappeared.
As the announcement ended.
The two on the platform collided into each other!
They crashed into the middle line of the Arena at nearly the same extreme speed.
It was unclear who struck first, nor who was more forceful.
Because when the two hard fists collided.
Two sparks exploded.
And in an instant, a wildfire ensued!
Blazing flames instantly covered the Arena.
That was an anciently forbidden, considerably vast Arena.
Yet at this moment, there was not a single gap to be seen.
Everywhere one looked, there was nothing but fire!
Almost all the distracted spectators instantly froze their gaze.
The scene before them was splendid.
The two fists froze at the center line, the rolling sea of flames dividing there.
Behind Zhongshan Wei Sun was a fire red tinged with golden yellow, blazing brilliantly, scorching the heavens and earth.
Behind Yan Shaofei was a blood-tinged crimson, ferociously gnawing at the heart.
The fire sea split into two colors, entwining and ripping into each other, distinctly separate.
In the midst of the raging flames, the two men locked eyes.
Both were a bit surprised, and also a bit...
Thrilled!
A thrill of meeting a match and encountering great skills.
Before this battle, neither Zhongshan Wei Sun nor Yan Shaofei had ever displayed their fire-related Divine Skills.
Yet at this moment, they so tacitly chose to let them shine.
In this barrage against each other, they also felt the hidden reluctance in each other’s hearts.
Who comes to Guanhe Platform to watch others shine?
That’s why they coincidentally chose such a brilliant opening.
That is to display their grace and compete for glory under the heavens.
Don’t say that there are no friends ahead, who under heaven does not know you?
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, a deep, thunderous rumble came from within their bodies.
That was Tongtian Palace bursting with power, the Inner Mansion intensely throbbing...
Behind Zhongshan Wei Sun in the sea of fire, a crimson Vermilion bird took flight, its cry resonating through the Nine Heavens.
While behind Yan Shaofei in his sea of fire, a crimson lotus bloomed!
Fist against fist.
Divine Skill against Divine Skill.
Nanming Separation Fire against Crimson Karmic Fire!
