The Road To Immortality

Preliminary Round II

Nang In tried to remain calm, yet the murderous aura that the red-robed figure released was so powerful, it was, this made Niiu realize what happened to Nang In and release his aura to neutralize the murderous aura.

'At least that figure was the hero of Soul Wandering Low - Stage!'

Behind his white mask, Nang In's breath was irregular, pressed by the hero in the Soul Wondering realm certainly did not make it good. After Niiu neutralized the murderous aura that was suppressing Nang In, the Red-robed Figure no longer focused on Nang In but instead focused on the match in the middle of the arena.

"What happened to Niiu?" although directed at Nang In, but because it was too strong Xuan Li who was beside Nang In also felt.

"There's a person directing a murderous aura towards In'er" Niiu glanced sharply at the red-robed figure who was opposite the podium, "I'm sure that figure sent him!"

Niiu glanced at one of the podiums devoted to the middle sect, that figure was only alone. But if you look at the seats of the participants are seen two students who seem to have a relationship with the Red-robed Figure, it is because one of them is wearing the same robe, while another one was a beautiful girl with a blank expression.

"Wait for why that person sent a murderous aura towards Nang In?" xuan Li said with a worried expression.

Niiu seemed to think of something, "It seems that this has something to do with Nang In's fight with the Red-robed Figure while in the inn"

"It looks like it!" Nang In nodded lightly, although he did not know who they were, but the characteristic robe that the figure wore was the same as the robe that the figure who fought Nang In when in the inn.

"The fight at the Inn, you guys haven't told me that yet?" Xuan Li asked Niiu to tell him what happened while at the inn.

Niiu sighed then told what happened that night, starting from the commotion inside the inn including Nang In's fight with Weiheng and how he was close to fighting the Red-robed Figure.

"Is this just my hunch but it seems like they have some ulterior intent other than to enter the Young Cultivator Tournament!" niiu said with a solemn expression, although most of the sects that came to the Eternal Flame Clan's residence had problems with each other, though, but they are not stupid enough to fight each other openly.

But the Red-robed Figure was blatantly sending its murderous aura to Nang In, it made Niiu think that the figure came from a black stream and had a veiled intention other than to attend the Young Cultivator Tournament.

"Do we have to report it to the Song Family?" ask Nang In.

"Surely but not now, after all I'm sure they won't move recklessly as long as there are Phonix Masters and Nascaen Soul Champion around the arena!" niiu said as he scanned around, there are at least some powerful heroes in the white and neutral flow sect. Including the existence of Zihan Shi himself as a referee should make the security level more awake.

Nang In nodded in approval to the advice from Niiu, how powerful a cultivator including one of the Five Monarchs would not be careless to fight directly Phonix Master and several Nascaen Soul heroes at once. But even so they must not be careless because in the world of cultivators danger always lurks them.

Nang In and the others decided to look at the match so that the situation would no longer be tense, back then Nang In could not cover up her shock when looking at the girl standing in the arena with a nervous expression. This made Niiu and Xuan Li instantly find out if Nang In recognized the girl who was going to fight.

"The next match we will see the action of Qiau Mey from the Golden Sword Sect....!"

When the name was mentioned the cultivators who came from the Golden Sword Sect including Wang Lu and Han Mei cheered, naturally many male spectators were cheering cheerfully praising Qiau Mey's beauty. While the female audience could only give a wry expression, there were some of them who were envious of the cute and sweet face of Qiau Mey.

Nang In smiled awkwardly when she saw the girl standing in the arena with a nervous expression yet trying to remain calm.

"The one to play against him is, Cu Thiazing from the Red Ocean Sect!"

After Zihan Shi said that a young man in all blue clothes and a spear in his right hand entered the arena of the match, the spectators especially Cultivator who was sitting on the podium of the Red Ocean Sect cheered very cheerfully.

Nang In recalled Zhou Jin's words if the Red Ocean Sect was one of the ten-star sects located in the middle of the lake, the Cultivator Red Ocean Sect emphasized the use of the basic spirit of water as the basic element in combat.

"Both participants get ready.the game starts!" zihan Shi shouted giving a hand code to signal the match began.

Despite the nervous look of Qiau Mey directly running first with a sword still stored beside his waist, Cu Tianzing still remained silent on the spot, with a sword still remaining, the young man did not move his spear in the slightest even as underestimating Qiau Mey.

Qiau Mey did not reply but took out a sword from its sheath. He jumped up and did a few rounds in the air and then launched the first slash.

Klang's!

Swords and spears clashed against each other, Qiau Mey's expression was so solemn while Cu Tianzing's flat expression looked so bored. At least that was the last expression he could show before Qiau Mey added strength to every swing of her sword.

Cracks!

"How can his strength increase!?"

Cu Tianzing was so shocked when he was pressed down that the floor he was on was destroyed, the young man no longer underestimated the girl in front of him. Cu Tianzing was about to escape from Qiau Mey's attack but the girl did not give any chance to continue slashing in various directions.

Swoshis!Klang's!

"Don't underestimate me weak girl!" Cu Tianzing snorted in annoyance.

The young man was able to fend off Qiau Mey's attacks but slowly Cu Tianzing's steps were pushed back. The young man's expression got worse as Qiau Mey's swordplay grew so fast that he could no longer be agitated to make scratches on some parts of his body.

Cu Tianzing tried to counterattack but Qiau Mey was able to withstand the young man's attacks very easily even with the minimum possible movement.

"The second style of Golden Sword - Cross Slash!"

As the tip of the sword was one inch away from Cu Tianzing's body, the young man raised both hands and then shouted loudly.

"I'm giving up!"

Qiau Mey stopped the swing of her sword that some more snaps at Cu Tianzing's body, the girl sighed then retreated a few steps fixed at the standby position.

"The match has ended, the winner is Qiau Mey from Golden Sword Sect!" zihan Shi shouted followed by the cries of Qiau Mey supporters who cheered. While Cu Tianzing's supporters looked disappointed, especially the Elders of the Red Ocean Sect who were looking at Cu Tianzing with humble gazes as the young man lost to shame for underestimating his opponent.

"Finally it's done, too, it was almost..." Qiau Mey sighed then smiled in satisfaction. "At least my first match wasn't too bad...!"

"You're amazing Mey'er!" there was a shout from the direction of the Golden Sword Sect's podium.

Looking at the source of the voice, he saw Han Mei who was smiling broadly at him. Qiau Mey also returned Han Mei's smile while waving her hand.

Seeing Qiau Mey grow stronger Nang In smiled behind his mask, before he thought to greet him even if only briefly, but when he found out that he was dealing with a Red-robed Figure that he did not know his identity. Nang In undoes his intention, he fears Qiau Mey's life could be threatened if the Red-robed Figure knows the girl has a relationship with him.

While Qiau Mey when about to descend from the arena felt an aura that he was very familiar with, in addition to his cultivation level that increased during these several months Qiau Mey trained his eye strength, he said, as a girl born with one of the 17 Magic Eyes, Alert Eyes.

Qiau Mey trained his eye strength to feel people who had a sword aura that was so high from a considerable distance.

"This sword aura?"

Qiau Mey took a look at the audience seats, the podium of the middle sect to the podium of the big sect, but had yet to find a figure that exuded the sword aura he was so familiar with, yet, until when he glanced at the podium of the Star Alchemist Association and his gaze met with a masked figure who was also glancing at him.

"In' Gege!"
