The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 88: Strongest North Bank

In response to Zheng Yuandong's words, the disciples from the northern and southern edges felt their hearts start pounding, and subconsciously stared at a terrace on the peak of the snow-covered Daoseed Mountain.

At the same time, four streams of extremely powerful divine senses flowed out and swept across everyone present.

A stream of divine sense covered all the disciples, including Bai Xiaochun, causing them to feel as if an overwhelming pressure was weighing on them. These people seemed to be powerful enough to kill everyone present in body and soul with a little more than a glance. Everyone felt that way, including Bai Xiaochun, Shangguan Tianyou, and even the Chosen from the northern bank. They were all trembling under the pressure, yet at the same time, their eyes were shining with excitement.

The fact that there would be a major elder observing the battle with divine sense caused all the competitors eyes to shine brightly.

"If I can attract the attention of a major elder, maybe I can be accepted as an apprentice …."

"I really have to risk everything in this battle!" Almost immediately, a murderous aura emerged from the disciples on both sides.

Bai Xiaochun was the only one who just stood there blinking.

"Old leader. That's the same rank as my master, right? So they're my Uncle Sect …. ” Bai Xiaochun couldn't bear to not feel proud of himself. His ranking in the sect was really a bit too high. After thinking for a moment, he decided to visit his Secret Uncle after the chosen battle ended.

It was at this point that Sectional Leader Zheng Yuandong swung his sleeve, causing a ball of light to fly into the middle of the battle arena. It quickly parted into twenty-two pearls, which then flew over to Bai Xiaochun and all the other competitors.

Bai Xiaochun stared at the pearl in his hand. "Eleven?"

He peeked out from the corner of his eyes to see if he could find the number of Shangguan Tianyou and the others, only to find out that they were hiding it.

At this point, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the balcony above. It was not Zheng Yuandong, but rather Ouyang Jie from the Hall of Justice. “The first battle will take place between the disciples holding pearls number one and two. Please step forward! "

In immediate response, a skinny youth flew out from among the northern edge disciples. His expression was cold and arrogant, and his appearance provoked cheers from the northern bank disciples. Although he was not one of the five Chosen, he was still quite famous.

As soon as he stepped into the battle arena, he exclaimed, "Liu Yun from the northern edge!"

In response, Shangguan Tianyou suddenly flew out. "Shangguan Tianyou from the southern edge!"

He stood there, a cold expression, looking like a drawn sword. Even the words he spoke seemed to make things even colder.

Of course, as soon as Shangguan Tianyou stepped forward, the Outer Sect disciples from the southern edge burst into loud cheers.

The skinny young man's face flickered; he never imagined that the first person he would face would be the most famous Chosen from the southern edge. An unsightly expression, he took a deep breath and then waved his hand, causing the air around him to change. At the same time, a huge python appeared, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind. After the python wrapped around, it rose nearly three meters into the air.

However, at almost the same time as the young man's ferocious beast appeared, and before he had time to do anything else, Shangguan Tianyou took one step forward, his face completely expressionless. Suddenly, he disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was right next to the skinny young man, a sword in his hand, which he placed in the throat of the young man.

"You lost," he said.

A cold feeling swept over the skinny young man, and a look of disbelief filled his face as he turned slowly to look at Shangguan Tianyou. He instantly knew that he was no match for this opponent. How could he imagine that he would lose so quickly? Head bowed, he gathered his giant python and left the arena.

“We've won the first fight! Ha ha! The south bank will definitely win this time! ”

"Older Brother Shangguan can definitely compete for first place!"

The south side of the arena arena was in a spirited uproar. As for Bai Xiaochun, he stood there blinking. He could not see exactly what Shangguan Tianyou was doing, but he could see that he was truly extraordinary when in power.

Furthermore, the two streams of divine senses from the main elders began to pay closer attention to Shangguan Tianyou.

The disciples of the northern bank were dumbfounded.

"Is that a little teleportation? Is impossible!! What cultivation base does he have? It was impossible to teleport! "

"It's an aborted magic. This person .. definitely deserves to be known as the number one person in the Southern bank of the Chosen One. Even with his Qi Condensation cultivation base, he could actually use void magic! ”

The other competitors from the northern bank looked on with flickering expressions. Beihan Lie's eyes flickered. The siblings Gongsun and Xu Song all had thoughtful expressions.

Only the black-robed Ghostfang remained in place, its eyes closed.

Before the crowd could calm down, Ouyang Jie's cold voice once again cut through the noise. "Second battle!"

From among the Northern Chosen banks, a slightly fat young man came out. Smiling widely, he looked completely innocent and harmless.

"Xu Song from the northern edge," he told the disciple who had emerged from the southern rim.

His opponent was not Lu Tianlei or any of the other famous Chosen Ones. He came from a group of secret disciples who only unleashed his strength in the qualifying round. He had a long face, and was not very handsome, but he was aware that the person he was dealing with was one of the five Northern Chosen Banks.

"Zhou Feng is from the southern bank" he said. Taking a deep breath, he began to rotate his cultivation base. Performing a spell move, he summoned a flying sword. However, before he could send it flying, a mocking ray appeared in Xu Song's eyes, and he pushed his hand out in front of him.

Rumbling could be heard as a crack opened right above Zhou Feng. Then, a cracking sound could be heard as a gigantic crocodile beast lunged at lightning speed and devoured it in a single bite.

His flying sword lost its relation to spiritual power, and fell to the ground.

“Fight against the disciples of Archway Peak and ignore the air above your head? Very disappointing. " Chuckling, Xu Song turned around and walked out of the arena. When he waved his hand behind him, his savage beast opened its mouth and spat at the unconscious Zhou Feng in front of the stunned disciples on the southern edge.

An unsightly expression could be seen, and some people gasped. As for Lu Tianlei and the other Chosen Ones, their hearts trembled.

Instead, the northern edge disciples cheered loudly.

Bai Xiaochun was shaken at how frightening the northern bankers were. Their control over wild beasts was terrifying.

Soon, the third battle began. The competitor of the northern bank was one of their five Chosen, Gongsun Wan'er. When he saw that his opponent from the southern edge was not Zhou Xinqi, but rather one of the other random disciples, he looked somewhat disappointed. Waving his hand, he made seven colored phoenix spew out a seven-colored fog.

When a seven-colored fog enveloped the southern bank disciple, he suddenly looked insane. Howling furiously, he started attacking wildly around him, as if fighting an invisible opponent. A moment later, he fainted.

From start to finish, all Gongsun Wan did was wave her soft hands. After which, he floated out of the arena. The crowd from the southern edge looked fearfully towards the northern edge disciples, clearly shaken.

"The only person who can fight against the Chosen One is the other true Chosen." The southern bank disciples looked at Shangguan Tianyou, hope shining in their eyes. Some also looked at Bai Xiaochun in the same way.

Bai Xiaochun immediately raised his head high and stuck out his chest. But inwardly, he was afraid of what Gongsun Wan had just done.

"They are even more incredible than Zhou Xinqi," he thought, his mouth drying out.

The fourth battle begins. Lu Tianlei flew into the arena, surrounded by flickering lightning. His opponent from the northern edge was the black-robed young man who did not open his eyes the entire time. Finally, his eyes opened, and he walked calmly into the arena.

Surprisingly, no one from the northern bank cheered for him at all. Strange expressions could be seen on the faces of the disciples, and to the other Chosen Ones, they simply took a deep breath.

The crowd from the southern edge was a little surprised by this. As for Lu Tianlei, he continued to stare at the young man.

"Lu Tianlei from the southern edge!" Lu Tianlei took a deep breath. Aware that he was facing the number one Chosen from the northern edge, his eyes began to shine with a desire to do battle. "I won't hold anything back. Even if I exhaust myself so that I can't keep fighting, it will be worth it! "

With eyes blazing with fighting spirit, he let out a powerful shout, causing the surrounding sparks to explode into a lake of lightning that stretched thirty meters in all directions.

At the same time, Ghostfang calmly pointed to the sky. Instantly, the black clouds began to boil over his head. When the disciples from the northern edge saw that, their expressions flickered, some with fear.

Howling, Lu Tianlei charged towards Ghostfang, surrounded by lightning.

However, Ghostfang did not even respond. He just stood there, and even went so far as to close his eyes.

"Do you want to die ?!" Lu Tianlei roared, feeling somewhat humiliated. After all, self-esteem is very important to the Chosen. With another roar, he caused the lightning lake to multiply in size, and explode with a force even greater than before.

However, before he could even get close to Ghostfang, the black clouds above seemed to be torn apart, and ghost-like hand claws reached out. It was enormous, like a huge column stretching out from the clouds, rushing towards Lu Tianlei with incredible speed and shocking pressure.

Even before reaching him, Lu Tianlei began to tremble, and then coughed out a mouthful of blood. The surrounding lightning shattered, and his feet sank to the ground, sending cracks in all directions.

Blood spurted out as wounds opened all over his body, and blood also flowed out from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He tried to struggle, but it seemed useless. Soon, his vision began to fade.

"No!!"

The terrifying phantom hand claws caused the disciples on the northern and southern edges to be filled with terror. Their internal spiritual energy seemed to have been removed from their control, and their souls felt like they were about to be stripped from their bodies.

Above the balcony, the sect leader and the others looked on with flashing expressions.

“For thousands of years, no one has managed to cultivate Ghosts Haunt the Night. I can't believe this child's cultivation has reached this level! "

Xu Meixiang's face suddenly fell. "Not good!"

Without saying anything, he flew to the arena floor at high speed. He arrived in the blink of an eye, then he swung his finger at the clawed hands of the ghosts. A huge rumbling sound resounded as the hands were pushed back. However, it did not collapse.

Blood spurted out from Lu Tianlei's mouth, and he fainted. If Xu Meixiang became slower, he would be crushed into bloody pulp, killed in body and soul.

His face grew darker, Xu Meixiang looked at Ghostfang.

"You're a little naughty. You may have extraordinary talent, but you're too ruthless. Trying to kill a fellow sect member right in front of us? Do you want to die or something ?! ”

Ghostfang stood still there for a moment, a strange expression appearing on his face, almost as if he was unsure exactly how he should react.

"I just didn't realize that he was going to be so weak" she said, sounding very sincere. With that, he turned around to leave the arena floor.

Xu Meixiang frowned and looked back at the balcony above, seemingly somewhat worried. Finally, he let out a cold snort, took Lu Tianlei, and left. Lu Tianlei would not be able to continue the battle, and in reality, his injuries would take some time to recover.

The north bank looked on silently, just like the southern bank did.

Ghostfang walked back to the same place where he stood, looking extremely lonely as he closed his eyes again.

After a while, the disciples of the northern bank recovered and began to cheer a little.

“No one from the south bank is suitable for us at all. We will definitely win! "

“They've lost three battles. The former was just a coincidence.I'm sure they'll lose all the rest of the battle as well. "

In response to the northern bank's taunts, the disciples of the southern bank could only stare furiously. North bank ... too strong.

The south bank had won the first battle, but lost the next three. The top Chosen Lu Tianlei was almost killed, and now, the southern edge disciples no longer had any thoughts of securing their retaliation.

Shangguan Tianyou stared angrily at Ghostfang. Inwardly, he trembled, and even felt a deep terror appear in his heart.

He's not the only one. The others Chosen from the southern edge, even Zhou Xinqi, were greatly shaken. Even if the only person the northern bank had on their team was Ghostfang.

"That's beyond the power of Qi Condensation …. Not even the peak ruler could wipe away the ghost's hand. Isn't it ... one of the ten secret magic of the Spirit Stream Sect, one of only two that could be considered rare to the extreme? "

"The only thing that can be compared to Ghosts Haunt the Night is ... Waterswamp Kingdom!"

Bai Xiaochun had a very serious expression on his face, and his heart was pounding. The power of Ghostfang made him uneasy.

Finally, the fifth battle began. The competitors from the northern bank made the disciples of the southern bank feel bitter as usual. He was one of the five great Chosen, someone who was the coldest in the hearts of others.

In his black robe, only his yellow eyes were visible, with insects crawling in and out of them. As he walked out, one of the southern bank disciples braced himself and prepared to fight. Before he could even introduce himself, Gongsun Yun's eyes flickered coldly, and he waved his sleeve. Instantly, a buzzing sound could be heard as countless black insects flew towards the southern edge disciples.

No matter how the southern bank disciples fought, it was useless. He was immediately covered with insects; none of his defenses could protect him at all. Immediately, they started biting him as if wanting to get into his flesh. It was a shocking sight that not even the crowd had seen from the northern edge.

"I admit !!" shouted the south bank disciple. He had the feeling that a single thought on his opponent's side would cause the insects to devour him.

Gongsun Yun's eyes flickered mockingly as he turned to leave. The black lice receded like a tidewater, landed on Gongsun Yun and crawled up to his sleeves.

When Bai Xiaochun saw all that, his scalp was numb. Even Zhou Xinqi and Shangguan Tianyou felt their hearts sink.

The other southern bank disciples could not help but ponder that the northern edge seemed too strong to compete. In their minds, the Chosen One's fight was over.

"We're really going to lose …?"

"North edge ... very strong!"

At the same time, the disciples of the northern bank were overjoyed.

"As I said before. They won the first battle, but will lose the rest! ”

“South edges? Really joke. They will always be below the north bank. "

"Thirty years ago the southern bank only put one disciple into the top ten, and it looks like ... this time it will be the same!"

When the disciples of the southern bank heard such talk, they wanted to offer a retort, but could not think of anything to say. The shame they felt was incredible.

After Gongsun Yun left the arena, Ouyang Jie's voice could once again be heard. "Sixth battle. Do the disciples with eleven and twelve marbles please enter the arena! "

Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath as he looked down at the eleven marble numbers he held in his hand.
