Free Web NovelChapter 1224: Chapter 406: Returning This Sword
In the many battles of the Yellow River Gathering so far, True Monarch Yu Xi is stepping onto the Arena for the first time.
It’s not that he can’t control the battle from below the stage, but in order to preserve the two Celestial Beings while more specifically grasping the details. It is out of a responsible attitude towards the Yellow River Gathering and to establish credibility. freewёbnoνel.com
This also explains how intense the battle between Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun was.
Who won and who lost?
This is a question that all the audience in the circular stands are looking forward to the answer.
On the Arena, Zhongxuan Zun in white robes has exhausted himself to the point of being unrecognizable, emitting a foul smell, hanging on by a mere breath.
And Dou Zhao, dressed in red and gold-trimmed martial attire, is not much better off.
The Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple-Wheel Saber has already cut open most of his neck, almost completing a beheading... Scattered golden light is leaking out, and the Fighting Golden Body has been shattered!
The life-filled clear light envelops both Zhongxuan Zun and Dou Zhao.
Yu Xi stands between the two and does not immediately announce the result, seemingly also finding it difficult to judge the victor.
After frowning and observing closely for a while, he lifts his head but bows to the Dharma Phases of Emperor Qi and Emperor Chu respectively: "In my opinion, these two Celestial Beings are equally matched and should be considered a draw. I wonder if the two Emperors agree?"
With his strength, it is not difficult to see that both Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun were caught in a situation of certain death. Without external intervention, it would result in mutual destruction.
That is why he decisively intervened and saved them both.
This is his responsibility as the host of the Yellow River Gathering.
If he truly ignored them and allowed them to die, he would certainly be held accountable afterward.
And moreover, even if he really did nothing, the two Dharma Phases of the Emperors would not sit by and allow such top Celestial Beings to die,
However,
In a situation where both sides in the battle face certain death,
The only criterion for determining victory or defeat is which of the two would die first.
But even for a Yan Dao expert, it is impossible to make a convincing judgment.
Because the speed of death’s arrival involves too many factors. Not only injuries, lifespan, body, and even luck, but also the wills, patience, and resilience of the two people...
To make everyone convinced, the only way is to let the result continue until one side actually dies.
But by then, the other person would also inevitably be unable to be saved.
The strike from the Fighting Golden Body invoking the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and the strike of Cut False carried by the Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple-Wheel Saber are truly remarkable.
These two young men, among all the iterations of the Yellow River Gathering, are certainly among the very top.
Meeting on this narrow path today, it’s uncertain whether it is fortune or misfortune.
As the host of the Yellow River Gathering, he can only declare a draw. And he leaves the power to redefine the victor to the Emperors of Qi Chu.
If the two sovereigns think the outcome of the battle is more important, they can take a gamble to see whose Life Pattern of their Celestial Being is tougher.
Time has only passed in an instant, but for the two supreme rulers, it has been long enough.
The purple Dragon Robe moved slightly, and the voice that seemed deep as the sea and imposing as a mountain, encompassing everything and unstoppable, spoke: "So let it be."
And that indescribably noble and naturally supreme great voice said: "Well said."
Thus, the victory or defeat of this round was decided.
Only at this moment did the people suddenly realize something—
That Celestial Being from Wei Country seems to be winning!
Among the six great Overlord Countries, it is not unprecedented for a country external to the Yellow River Gathering’s Outer Building or Inner Court to win, though it is extremely rare.
But it’s probably never been like now, with both top Celestial Beings barely hanging on, looking incapable of participating in the final battle to determine the champion.
So much so that in the semi-final match, the other winner now unexpectedly has no opponent.
Since Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun drew, either of them fighting against Yan Shaofei could determine the final outcome.
But in their current state, neither has the immediate possibility of fighting again.
External help for their recovery would not be in accordance with the rules of the Yellow River Gathering.
So...
Is Yan Shaofei the champion of the Outer Building?
Many people have this question in their minds.
Yes.
This is a "question."
And not an accepted result.
Because after witnessing the extraordinary battle between Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun at this level of the Outer Building, no one believes that based on the strength Yan Shaofei has demonstrated, he qualifies to be the champion.
Although by the rules, the direction of the final result seems quite clear, as Xiahou Lie, Great Commander of the Valiant Cavalry from Jingguo, has said, luck is also a kind of strength. frёeωebɳovel.com
But Wei Country is not Jingguo, and the strength of Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun, these two Celestial Beings, visibly surpasses others.
Who could be convinced by this champion?
Having controversy is not a concern, but the problem is the absence of controversy.
Given Yan Shaofei’s current performance, he indeed is worthy of the title Celestial Being. His genuine victory over Zhongshan Wei Sun, the Celestial Being from Jingguo, is firm.
But in these matches, he indeed falls short of Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun, and indisputably so.
A champion of the world, from ancient to present, is not without controversy.
Yet in the world, could there be a visibly weaker champion than the rest?
Now all eyes in the venue are on Yan Shaofei.
Including Yu Xi, who is still cautiously nurturing the life force of Dou Zhao and Zhongxuan Zun.
