Chapter 160 - Must Win
Previously, the Qin family’s first elder had only suspected that Ling Yichen had already broken through to Battle Qi Level-7. Now that he had confirmed this, his expression was even uglier than before. The Ling family actually produced such a person!
If the Qin family did not get rid of them thoroughly this time round, there would be endless troubles. They could not let Ling Yichen continue growing like this, they definitely could not!
The Luo family’s first elder’s expression was not that great either. But although he was unhappy, he did not show the least bit of agitation. Because, to him, they were bound to win this battle. As to where this confidence came from, only he and a few people from the Luo family knew.
Luo Anqing, Ling Yichen’s opponent, felt shocked, but more than that, his heart was filled with envy! In his clan, he was also a rookie who had received the attention of many, but he had plateaued at Level-6 Pinnacle for too long. No matter what he did, he could not break through to Level-7. However, Ling Yichen had already broken through to Level-7! How could he not be envious? How could he not be jealous?!
Seeing Ling Yichen’s attacking stance, Luo Anqing was not nervous, but rather took a step forward and suddenly waved his blade!
A powerful blade image and a fierce sword image ruthlessly clashed, and a burst of starlight bloomed. A bright light appeared and both images disappeared at the same time.
Ling Yichen was steady and calm. His sword rushed forward, stabbing the back of his opponent’s long blade. The cultivation of cultivators was not just as simple as Battle Qi. The understanding and using of martial skills, as well as the grasp of battle opportunities were equally important. The focus of Ling Yichen’s attack was the weakest point of the long blade’s Battle Qi.
The disciples of the three families who were watching saw this exquisite move and could not help but admire it. The Ling family’s disciples were especially proud. They puffed out their chests, as if they were the ones who made that exquisite move.
The attack forced Luo Anqing to move backwards, and his face had even turned a little pale. He was astonished by Ling Yichen’s sword skills and the strength of his Battle Qi, but after taking a few steps backward, a peculiar smile appeared on his face.
In the next moment, Luo Anqing shouted loudly and leapt up, waving his blade to attack Ling Yichen. While in mid-air, Luo Anqing’s Battle Qi suddenly surged out and white light was emitted! From the looks of it, it was definitely not the kind of ability that a Level-6 Pinnacle stage could emit! However, Luo Anqing was indeed only at Level-6 Pinnacle stage!
Ling Chuxi stood up in surprise. “This is not good!” she shouted in a grave tone. “The opponent has taken a pill! The Battle Element Pill!”
“What?! Battle Element Pill? Are they crazy?!” yelled Lan Xinyu, looking at Luo Anqing in astonishment.
Battle Element Pill? It was a strong pill that could temporarily raise a person’s cultivation for about 15 minutes, but its side effects were also very severe. Best case scenario, the person would lose their strength for three days. But in the worst case scenario, the person would hurt their foundation!
The Luo family had actually made such a move in order to win the tournament. Lan Xinyu felt shock and a mix of other more complicated feelings. Was this the determination to win the battle for their family clan?
“Hmph! Battle Element Pill, so what?” Ling Chuxi sat back down and looked straight ahead with a cold expression. “Yichen will not lose.”
The Luo family wanted to win, but the Ling family wanted to win even more! If they lost this time, not only would they go into decline, their name might even be entirely removed from Shi Qu Town! The Ling family would no longer have any standing in this town, and everything they owned would slowly be swallowed up. Such a matter was definitely not allowed to happen!
The Luo family had the determination to fight this battle, but the Ling family’s determination to win was even stronger.
They had to win. They must win!!!
