Capítulo 1444: Chapter 1318: Victory or Defeat in Five Moves
“Uh…”
Upon hearing Tong Qianchen’s adamant words and seeing the spirit stones she presented, the crowd around her was incredulous.
“I rember now, she’s the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Xuanwu Sect!”
After the initial surprise, soone quickly recognized Tong Qianchen’s identity.
“Could it be that the one nad Ye has so sort of trump card?”
With the exposure of Tong Qianchen’s identity, many began to wonder this in their hearts.
Ye Fan and the Ancient Saint Gu Hao’s previous match, everyone saw it, judging from the strength shown by both sides, Ye Fan stood nearly no chance.
Even in such circumstances, Tong Qianchen still wagered everything she had on Ye Fan, which left them bewildered after the initial shock.
“Even if Ye Fan has a trump card, he definitely is no match for the Ancient Saint!”
After the doubts passed, everyone made this judgnt.
They believed even the Saint of Treasure Pavilion was ultimately outmatched by the Ancient Saint — Ye Fan couldn’t possibly be stronger than Jin Changgeng!
After all, Xuanwu Sect is an auxiliary force to Treasure Pavilion, and Jin Changgeng is the Saint of Treasure Pavilion!
Regarding the Ancient Saint…
He is the strongest successor from a grand Holy Land, passed down from ancient tis, destined to beco the leader of that Holy Land; what gives Ye Fan the right to defeat him?
“I’ll bet on Ye Fan to win as well!”
Just as people around were making judgnts, Shen Tu also stepped forward, though he was very cautious, betting only a pound of top-grade spirit stone.
This was his most precious asset; he once had so savings, but they were extorted by the Bai Yan wolf. Up to now, this pound of top-grade spirit stone was carefully saved in secret.
“Crazy, this world is truly mad! How can so many people have spirit stones to waste, knowing they’ll lose yet daring to bet like this!”
The onlooking crowd was in an uproar; Tong Qianchen betting on Ye Fan could be understood, as they’re from the sa sect, and perhaps there might be so stories unknown to others, but another person betting on Ye Fan winning seed quite unbelievable.
“I rember now, he is also from Xuanwu Sect, which explains why he would support Ye Fan!”
Soon enough, Shen Tu’s identity was also recognized, which wasn’t a secret; although Shen Tu wasn’t in the sa group as Ye Fan, he was from Xuanwu State as well, naturally attracting attention.
Coming from the sa sect, even knowing Ye Fan would surely lose, they would still cheer him on—that’s human nature.
The middle-aged cultivator with a sharp chin and monkey-like cheek was so delighted he couldn’t close his mouth—he never expected to receive such free spirit stones from these suckers!
“Maybe the one nad Ye can really win the match!” a young female cultivator exclaid upon seeing this.
“Why do you say that?” The middle-aged cultivator with the sharp chin and monkey-like cheeks asked, intrigued.
“Do you rember during a previous match soone set up a bet pool and ended up losing everything, while the one who won was betting on Ye Fan ultimately erging victorious!”
Ignoring the sharp chin and monkey-like cheek cultivator, the young female cultivator addressed the crowd.
“Indeed, I rember such an instance.”
“That guy turned green with envy; I was right beside him back then!”
“I heard the winner was from Treasure Pavilion, but who knows if that’s true.”
As this was ntioned, many cultivators suddenly dawned on the realization, engaging in discussions about that unlucky person’s “glorious deeds” from before!
But there were skeptics who argued that the previous competition wasn’t too difficult, that it was reasonable for Ye Fan to win by chance, but this ti facing a Saint-level strong opponent, a genuine Ancient Saint, who had shown remarkable cultivation in prior matches, could Ye Fan still win?
Although the outco between Ancient Saint and Jin Changgeng was decided in just one move, it was clear both were going all out.
Judging from the strongest strike of Ancient Saint, one can roughly estimate his true strength, definitely ranking among the top Saints.
“Ladies and gentlen, today we’ve long-awaited the semi-final match. Well adhering to principles of fairness and transparency, we’ll present two extraordinary matches. Without further ado, let’s invite the two contestants on stage!”
Vice President Old Monster Lu from the Immortal Academy spoke with a loud voice, suppressing the crowd’s noisy discussion, steadily reaching every corner.
Hearing Old Monster Lu’s words, the audience imdiately quieted down, focusing their attention on the arena.
Ye Fan and the Ancient Saint proceeded onto the stage from left and right, bowing to the two vice presidents, an essential courtesy.
“Both of you are outstanding talents from the Southern Domain. To be honest, I don’t wish to see a winner or loser, but a match is a match; there’s no first in literature, but there’s no second in martial arts, so a result must be determined. Prepare yourselves, announce your nas to each other, and be ready for the match!”
Vice President Old Monster Zhou from the Imperial Academy smiled at both, perceiving Ye Fan’s vigorous vitality, akin to a dormant Barbarian Dragon within, once unleashed, it would be terrifying.
Similarly, the Ancient Saint was very powerful, superior to Ye Fan by at least two minor realms; winning for Ye Fan would be very challenging.
“Mr. Gu, I think there’s no need for us to exchange nas, right?” Ye Fan stood still, smiling as he addressed the Ancient Saint Gu Hao.
“Naturally, like Old Jin, should we decide the winner in one move, or rely on our abilities to settle the bout?”
Gu Hao laughed heartily, fully aware of Ye Fan’s actions; even though they had been together for only a few days, they were already old friends.
“How about we set the victory within five moves?”
Ye Fan proposed, as deciding in one move was unfair to both, likely missing the chance for advancent due to a poor performance.
Five moves are just right, allowing for a display of true strength, with no regrets while also keeping the camaraderie intact!
“Very much to my liking, just like with Old Jin, regardless of victory or defeat, we’ll have so drinks after this match, don’t you skip it then!” The Ancient Saint is straightforward and carefree, setting the post-match banquet even before the match begins.
“Deal!”
Ye Fan agreed with a smile.
“Hehe…”
The Ancient Saint continued, “Ye Zi, I know your skills, I won’t fight you at an equal realm; that would be self-torture. So the match is settled like this. Moreover, regarding the honor of the sect, I won’t hold back; be careful!”
“Mr. Gu is frank, that’s good. Please, Mr. Gu, enlighten !” Ye Fan nodded with a smile.
Gu Hao waved his hand grandly, saying, “Ye Zi, that’s not right. After all, my realm is higher; you should make the first move. I absolutely won’t attack first!”
“Since that’s the case, then politeness is unnecessary; Mr. Gu, be vigilant!”
Ye Fan’s expression turned solemn, the smile fading, as his mind moved, a powerful aura erupted.
At this mont, Ye Fan seed to transform; his black hair fluttered, radiating a faint purple-gold light, exuding a sky-reaching domineering energy, resembling an Asura War God returned from Hell.
Swish!
With a flash of light, the Thunder Emperor Spear appeared in his hand, Ye Fan wielded it single-handedly, pointing it towards the heavens, innate dominance!
“Leveling Sun and Moon!”
Ye Fan shouted loudly, the Thunder Emperor Spear darted like a serpent dragon erging from the sea, dividing into one true and one false gun light, piercing towards Gu Hao!
“Nice one!”
Gu Hao’s eyes shot out two brilliant lights, with a loud shout, he wielded an eight-sided bright silver hamr in his hand, fiercely smashing towards the gun light!
Boom!
With a loud boom, Gu Hao accurately identified the True Destiny Prince among the two gun lights, engaging hard with Ye Fan!
Light burst forth, space annhilated, their Holy Power directly shattered the void, forming a terrifying black hole, absorbing all energy into it without causing any destruction!
The first strike ended in a draw, neither gaining an advantage, leaving the spectators utterly shocked.
Many had believed Ye Fan couldn’t withstand even one move against the Ancient Saint; to their surprise, the first collision resulted in a tie, astonishing those who deed Ye Fan no match.
“This… how is it possible?!”
At this mont, almost everyone felt as if in a dream, so rubbing their eyes forcefully, refusing to believe the result!
