The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 91 Emperor's Sword

At this moment, Nan Qiuqiu shot out a beam of annihilation light. Her goal was simple: to deplete Huo Zhanji's soul power.

As Huo Zhanji blocked the first beam of annihilation, her second beam of annihilation was already fired.

Huo Zhanji smiled and said nothing more. He simply raised his hand and an ice mirror appeared in front of him, reflecting the light of annihilation from the attack to other places.

Nan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment. Although they were a hundred meters apart, the speed at which the Annihilation Light was released was quite fast. Huo Zhanji had blocked her first Annihilation Light, yet he was still able to deflect her soul skill so easily.

"Aren't you the sect leader of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion? What if you can't win? I think your martial spirit is pretty good. Why don't you join our Earth Dragon Sect? Our Earth Dragon Sect is one of the top sects in the Douling Empire."

Huo Zhanji smiled, not angry at all, and stared intently at Nan Qiuqiu: "If you lose, are you going to join our Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

Nan Qiuqiu laughed and said, "Alright! If even someone who has lost their most important ability can defeat me, then it means that your Patching Heaven Pavilion is indeed very powerful. What's the point of joining you?"

"You said it yourself, do you mean it?" Huo Zhanji asked.

"Of course it counts. But you have to keep your word too. Joining our Earth Dragon Gate has many benefits. Let's not waste any more time, let's end this here." With that, Nan Qiuqiu touched the ground with her toes and suddenly darted towards Huo Zhanji. She raised her right hand, and her fourth soul ring lit up again, and an annihilating hand appeared to grab Huo Zhanji.

"Emperor's Sword! Unrivaled Ice!"

Huo Zhanji raised his right hand and waved it lightly. A giant, ice-blue sword suddenly appeared. This imperial sword was nearly twenty meters long. Wherever the imperial sword passed, it forcefully tore through space, and the Hand of Annihilation instantly annihilated upon contact. The ice-blue imperial sword landed straight beside Nan Qiuqiu.

In that instant, Nan Qiuqiu, who had been so confident of victory, was completely dumbfounded. It was all over! Nan Qiuqiu's mind went blank for a moment, and the cold aura emanating from the Emperor Sword froze her into an ice sculpture.

The entire arena fell silent. Huo Zhanji's combat prowess stunned everyone. The moment the ice-blue giant sword appeared, the spectators outside the arena's protective shield could clearly sense the power of that sword strike.

Huo Zhanji snapped his fingers at the ice sculpture and said, "Referee, I won."

"Shrek Academy wins the fourth individual elimination match." The referee announced the result while looking at Huo Zhanji in surprise.

Nan Qiuqiu broke free from the extreme ice.

Huo Zhanji smiled slightly at her and said, "A bet is a bet, and the Butian Pavilion welcomes you to join us."

"Who wants to join your Heaven-Mending Pavilion? Don't even dream about it!" Nan Qiuqiu cursed angrily, then turned and walked off the stage.

Huo Zhanji sighed and said, "It's a pity. Your cultivation will remain stagnant, just like your promise."

Nan Qiuqiu froze, then turned around abruptly and said, "I did make a bet with you, but if you die, I won't have to keep my promise."

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to her own waiting area and said, "Whoever helps me kill him, I will marry them."

Sure enough, when the fifth contestant from Longmen jumped onto the competition stage, he immediately gritted his teeth and roared at Huo Zhan, "You bastard, what did you do to our big sister? I swear I won't rest until I kill you!"

"Then I'm sorry, you'll probably be single for the rest of your life." Huo Zhanji's voice was neither loud nor soft, but it reached Nan Qiuqiu's ears.

After the referee announced the start of the match, Huo Zhanji defeated his opponent with a single move. The next two members of the Earth Dragon Gate team couldn't even get close to Huo Zhanji, as he exhausted their soul power. Huo Zhanji single-handedly accomplished the feat of defeating an entire opposing team.

Huo Zhanji turned around, smiled slightly at Nan Qiuqiu, and said, "The Heaven-Mending Pavilion welcomes you."

"This is impossible!" Nan Qiuqiu suddenly jumped up from the waiting area. "He must have used some unconventional methods, otherwise how could he have defeated Xiao Ye so quickly?"

The referee gave Nan Qiuqiu a cold glance: "Silence. Match over. Shrek vs. Earth Dragon Gate, Shrek wins, accumulating a perfect score of twelve points. Both teams leave the field."

Nan Qiuqiu rushed into the arena without hesitation, heading straight for Huo Zhanji. She had lost, lost so thoroughly, even losing to someone she knew herself. Although she knew in her heart that Huo Zhanji was very strong, she was still filled with resentment.

Nan Qiuqiu unleashed her annihilation power instantly.

Huo Zhanji frowned slightly, raised his right hand, and struck out with his palm as well.

"boom--"

Nan Qiuqiu staggered backward, taking three or four steps back before nearly falling to the ground.

Huo Zhanji smiled and then looked at everyone present. One after another, spirit rings shone beneath him. Six spirit rings—crimson, orange-gold, orange-gold, orange-gold, orange-gold, and blue-gold—shone in succession. He stared indifferently at Nan Qiuqiu in front of him, and a terrifying pressure emanated from Huo Zhanji and poured down on Nan Qiuqiu.

"You... a six-ring Soul Emperor! A 100,000-year Soul Ring!"

A trickle of blood trickled from Nan Qiuqiu's lips. Looking at the spirit rings beneath Huo Zhanji, her breath caught in her throat. The first spirit ring was already at the 100,000-year level; the subsequent rings must all be above 100,000 years. So this Heaven-Mending Pavilion was truly powerful. This defeat was no unjust. But losing meant joining the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. How could she explain this to her mother…?

The teams watching from below the stage shook their heads as they looked at Huo Zhanji on stage: "That guy is back again."

"Anyone else want to challenge me? I'll grant your wish." Huo Zhanji said indifferently, and after seeing that no one was around, he used his powerful mental strength to push his wheelchair back to the Shrek Academy's combat zone.

"Qiuqiu, come down here!" a somewhat angry voice rang out.

Nan Qiuqiu's body stiffened, and she turned around to see that it was her mother, Nan Shuishui, who was speaking to her. Only then did Nan Qiuqiu dejectedly walk off the competition stage to make room for the next match.

"Mom," Nan Qiuqiu called softly.

Nan Shuishui angrily said, "When we get back this time, I'll punish you by making you face the wall at Zhenlong Cliff for a year. Don't even think about coming out until your cultivation breaks through to the Soul Emperor level."

Nan Qiuqiu suddenly knelt down in front of her mother: "Mom, I'm afraid I can't go back with you. I...I..."

Nan Shuishui was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "You dare disobey orders?"

Nan Qiuqiu shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face: "Mom, I was wrong. But it's too late. Just now in the competition, I made a bet with Huo Zhanji, and I lost to Butian Pavilion."
