Chapter 519 – Kang Yan VS Jian Meng

"14th match, Kang Yan versus Jian Meng!"

The fourth round of the tournament had already reached the 14th match, and it was Kang Yan's turn to fight.

Yin and Yang Monarch's souls and Plum Emperor's soul entered Kang Yan's sword, standing by for the match.

Today, every contestant got to use their full abilities, including familiars, summons, pets, and Dao Spirits. Kang Yan was rejoiced that she had to go all-out in this fight.

She walked out to the arena with pride. Even if the crowd continued to unreasonably jeer her, her composure and determination were unwavered.

Kang Yan stared at Jian Meng, who also came out with ten sky-grade swords, hovering behind him.

As soon as they got to meet on the combat platform, both sides smirked.

"FIGHT!"

Kang Yan unsheathed her sword and traced the 1,000 red lines in front of her while she activated her sword domain.

Death Perception Slash!

However, the other party could also do the same. Jian Meng expanded his soul domain and grabbed one of his swords. He slashed a thousand times to counter Kang Yan's swords of death.

CLANK

Both domains were destroyed, and both sword fighters coughed.

Kang Yan spat a mouthful of blood, but Jian Meng only gargled and swallowed his soul mass back.

A soul physique cultivator no longer had blood and flesh. He took no damage.

WAAAAAA

The crowd was excited. Although their movements were so fast that only afterimages of red light were visible, many cultivators from the Holy Land Continent could partially see the attacks.

"WOW!!"

"FINALLY, A GOOD SWORD FIGHT!!"

Kang Yan took a deep breath and reactive her sword domain. Meanwhile, Jian Meng snapped his fingers and the floating sky-grade swords behind him multiplied to 81. Moreover, all of them was coated in green liquid.

They were poisonous!

Kang Yan squinted her eyes. She noticed something odd about the swords and Jian Meng's Soul Qi.

Jian Meng smirked. He waved his hand, "Shall we go for another round?"

"..."

Kang Yan had a hunch that she shouldn't drag on the fight. There might be some voodoo sorcery behind Jian Meng's skills and the floating swords behind his back.

Kang Yan's father, Kang Dongfang, whispered to her, 'That's the Immortal Jian Signature Skill, the Endless Sword Domain. The longer the fight, the more swords that the practitioner can summon. Also, the more the swords, the stronger and faster the swordsman. You should finish this fight quickly before he can finish his death sword formation.'

'Death Sword Formation?' Kang Yan was interested.

'The number of swords always multiply by the number of remaining swords. Every sword increases that man's power and speed by 1%. You must be careful.'

"..."

Instead of being intimidated, Kang Yan licked her lips. She thought about Miaomiao's Isolation Training Space and the clones of various experts.

She planned on pestering Miaomiao to fight Jian Meng's clone in the 200% difficulty level later.

"It doesn't matter. I'll beat him, and I'll steal all his secrets!"

Kang Yan touched the sword with the tip of her fingers. Then, she slid over the blade, empowering it with her Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Wind Element Qi.

Five basic elements merged, and the immortal-grade sword shone in white light.

Without waiting for Jian Meng to react, she pointed the tip of her sword and fired a laser beam.

The straight line of laser surprised Jian Meng, who had only prepared to fight in close combat. The beam went through his stomach and exited through his back.

"!!!"

Kang Yan blinked and created a clone of herself. Together, they reappearing by Jian Meng's flanks.

Both Kang Yan's arms and swords blurred. She slashed two thousand times within a second. Combining with the clone's attack, she cut Jian Meng's four thousand times!

Yet, Jian Meng smirked and parried all the strikes with the floating swords. The 81 swords earlier moved as if they were handled by expert swordsman, blocking all the attacks from both Kang Yan.

Then, one of the swords stabbed through the mirror body by Jian Meng's left side. At the same time, Jian Meng charged toward the right and hacked down.

CLANK

Kang Yan deflected the attack while the clone of herself dissipated. The fake body had been destroyed.

"BE MY BITCH, OR ELSE!!"

Jian Meng's 81 swords corrected their formation and pointed at Kang Yan.

Kang Yan widened her eyes as she recognized this type of combat style.

Death Fortress Sword Style!

'HOW?!'

Kang Yan gritted her teeth and summoned Yang and Yin Monarch from her sword. As for her father, he remained in the sword to be her weapon.

Two massive pythons emerged and stared down at Jian Meng.

Jian Meng widened his eyes and kicked the ground, keeping the distance from the two immortal snakes. He touched his stomach hole, where Kang Yan had created previously.

It was recovering but at a slow rate. The attack just now weakened his regeneration ability.

"Tsk!"

Jian Meng snapped his fingers, and the 81 sky-grade swords multiplied to 6,561!

Yin Monarch opened its mouth and sprayed Yin Flame at the sword formation.

Three thousand of the newly created swords were destroyed, but the rest of the swords moved away from the blast radius.

Yang Monarch chased after Jian Meng. He suddenly shrank into a small snake, so small that he was invisible to naked eyes.

Then, he entered Jian Meng's body as if he was a parasite!

"GOTCHA BITCH!!" Yang Monarch laughed as he planted a thousand demon plum tree seeds in Jian Meng's body.

"SCRAM!!"

Jian Meng roared and successfully ejected Yang Monarch from his body.

Yang Monarch returned to Kang Yan's side and resumed his small snake appearance. His expression was distorted.

'Kang Yan, be careful. That guy is hiding his true strength. He's not a normal 8th-stage cultivator!'

"Huh?"

Yin Monarch also glared at Jian Meng while he sent a voice transmission to Kang Yan's mind.

'That guy is using a Dao of an Immortal Saint. His Dao, Soul Domain, and sword techniques are stronger than mortals. He should be as strong as an Immortal Knight! Well, luckily, he can't use Soul Essence, or you would have been killed already.'

"..."

While Kang Yan and the snakes were discussing, Jian Meng counterattacked. He sent flying swords at them, but he secretly sent nine swords to the sky, surrounding the arena in secret.

The Yin and Yang Monarch opened their mouths and swallowed the rain of swords. Everything was instantly digested, and they belched.

However, they didn't notice the 9-sword formation array.

"My turn!"

Jian Meng laughed and recreated the destroyed swords. All 6,561 swords reappeared behind Kang Yan.

"!!!"

The poison swords rained upon her!

...

Miaomiao and Lilith entered the VIP box room once again. This time, Karen and immortals saluted and arranged an honor table for them.

Many men glanced at Miaomiao, captivated by his strange charm. None of them recognized him in his purple demon form with strange eyes. They thought that he was a demoness or Lilith's servant.

Upon seeing that Lilith and Miaomiao didn't seem like master and servant as both sat side by side, the male immortals were curious about the latter's origins.

However, a few live stream viewers soon recognized Miaomiao. They looked back and forth between their phones and the latter's face in shock.

While Miaomiao maintained his pokerface and concentrated on solidifying his foundation and constitution, Lilith looked at the nearest screen in the room, which was broadcasting a match in the arena.

The fighter was none other than Kang Yan. Her opponent was also a swordmaster from the Jian Clan.

"A sword freak against a sword freak? Is this match rigged?" Lilith sneered at Karen.

"No. It was a lottery draw."

"Of course. Come to think of it, isn't that girl one of Mao Miaomiao's wives?"

"Indeed," Karen's expression distorted as she had a hunch that Lilith would favor Kang Yan or try to interfere with the match.

Lilith only glanced at Kang Yan for a moment. Then, she scoffed, "Still an incompetent girl. I have no use for her."

Karen turned to the screen and watched the fight.

BOOM

Just now, Kang Yan had sent a beam and pierced Jian Meng.

A nascent soul cultivator that was capable of injuring an 8th-stage cultivator was incompetent?

Kang Yan had the qualifications to become an immortal's apostle with flying color, but Lilith didn't want her?

Karen frowned. She didn't understand Lilith's standard.

Since Lilith didn't want the girl, Karen planned to approach Kang Yan after this match.

"Oh, I didn't notice. So, it's really Kang Yan's turn..."

Miaomiao finally realized that Kang Yan had been fighting for a while now. He stopped focusing on his other consciousness and paid attention to the match.

...

The sword rain just now almost killed her. Kang Yan managed to blink away from the barrage with her father's help. However, the poison from the swords paralyzed her.

Yin Monarch and Yang Monarch transformed into two swords while the spirit of her father held one of them. Both father and daughter stood side by side, looking at their enemy.

'I guess dealing with an Immortal Knight in disguise is too much for you.'

Kang Yan panted. The fight against Jian Meng wasn't as easy as she had thought.

Shallow wounds on her arms, shoulders, and thighs had stopped bleeding, but her face was pale.

She stared at Jian Meng in shock.

Jian Meng levitated in the sky. Orbiting around him were 43 million sky-grade swords, imbued with Jian Meng's Soul Qi and Poison Element Qi.

However, Jian Meng's expression was no better. He grimaced as he clenched his stomach, which had a gaping hole.

The Soul Domain of Jian Meng was disabled, and his soul physique couldn't be instantly healed for some reason. Moreover, he had to keep ejecting plum tree parasites in his body before they devoured all of his Qi to grow.

"Damn woman! I thought you were an honest swordswoman! How dare you use poison and parasites against me!"

Kang Yan had the urge to retort, "Said the poisoner uses poison swords."

Jian Meng snapped his fingers again. This time, the 9 swords that he had hidden earlier activated the formation.

Death Fortress Sword, Word Formation!

The 43 million swords transformed into a single Chinese Character.

[Kill]

Then, Jian Meng pointed his sword in his hand at Kang Yan.

"I've played enough. DIE!!"

The glowing character shrunk and rushed toward Kang Yan.

However, Kang Dongfang stood in front of her and cut the shining character in half, negating the skill.

'That was indeed the Death Fortress Sword Technique from the Immortal Jian Clan. Be careful when you face him since he can change his attack patterns and styles as many times as he wishes as long as he has enough flying swords.'

"I know. Miaomiao also used to fight like that."

'Oh? Did he?'

Kang Dongfang didn't know about the Isolation Training Space. He never fought against Miaomiao's clones, but Kang Yan did several times.

Since Kang Yan could no longer fight, Kang Dongfang charged at Jian Meng. He only swung his sword once, leaving an afterimage of a horizontal slash.

Jian Meng widened his eyes as if he was frustrated by something. He stared at Dong Fang's spirit in resentment.

"Plum Emperor, how dare you intrude in our fight?! How could an Immortal Saint bullying a mortal?!"

Kang Dongfang gave Jian Meng a middle finger.

'That's what you get for messing with my daughter, fool.'

"You... I'll become a haunted spirit and curse you when the karma tribulation hits you!"

'Nah, I won't get it. After all, I'm no longer a cultivator.'

Kang Dongfang sneered at Jian Meng as he leaned closer to him to whisper to his left ear.

'Soul-Bound Weapon Spirits are exempt from all karma tribulations, fool!'

"..."

Jian Meng's body was slowly dissipated into dust as his soul core had been cleaved in half. He vanished with wide eyes, staring at Kang Dongfang with hatred. He demanded a fair fight between swordsmen, but Kang Yan cheated.

Even in death, Jian Meng felt that his defeat wasn't fair.

"Winner, Kang Yan from Aves Continent!"

Kang Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled at her father's spirit, gave him a thumbs up.

Kang Dongfang laughed and returned to the immortal-grade sword. Kang Yan brought out a bottle of elixir and sprayed the content on her head to celebrate her victory and cure the poison.

'That was close, though. The poison could have potentially cripple your cultivation base. You're lucky to have that elixir spring water with you.'

Kang Yan hadn't realized yet. Just now, Jian Meng used the same poison that he had crippled Jia Shan.

Hearing her father's praise, she giggled, "Say that to Miaomiao when you meet him again."

'Meh, you're all over him.'

...

Miaomiao nodded while he watched the fight in the VIP room.

He was proud of her. She was growing closer to a protagonist, who always faced impossible fights and continuously grew stronger.

Still, Miaomiao was secretly shocked. He didn't expect to see the Death Sword Fortress technique after she had clashed against Ling Tianlong.

He turned to the clan leader from the Jian Family.

The immortals from Immortal Jian Clan glared at Kang Yan in resentment. Even the Jian Clan's patriarch, the old man in Taoist robes with five heaven-grade swords on his back, clenched his fists and were fumed with rage.

Suddenly, the old patriarch of the Jian Clan's turned around, and his eyes met with Miaomiao's eyes.

The old man snorted and turned away. He stomped out of the VIP room, and the guardians followed after him.

It seemed that the old man didn't recognize Miaomiao. Otherwise, he would have said something to him.

'I should mark him as one of my targets. Welp, another person as food... Munya!'

Miaomiao inwardly chuckled as he thought of Meowmeow, Dian Wei, and Killer Queen. He probably joined this gang soon since he might need to start devouring cultivator souls in the future.

Thinking of devouring souls, Miaomiao remembered the dragon pills.

He reexamined his dantian space and his foundation again. After sensing that Diaochan wouldn't create a Dao Pillar on the Unholy Karma Continent soon, he decided to pop a Storm Dragon Pill in his mouth.

But Lilith saw everything. She raised her eyebrows and yelled directly to his mind.

'Storm Dragon Bloodline Pill? Are you nuts? You haven't even recovered from the previous tribulation, but you want to devour a dragon's soul now?!'

Miaomiao giggled and talked in his mind.

'I believe in my absolute plot armor.'

BOOM

Something exploded in his stomach. He belched, and a branch of electricity came out from his mouth.

Ding

<You have digested the Storm Dragon Bloodline Pill.>

<Your Incomplete Asmodeus Bloodline has been upgraded.>

<Your Wind Element Crystal has evolved into Storm Element Crystal.>

<Warning, detecting a fragment of the Storm Dragon's Soul, Aster.>

<Warning, Aster is attempting to destroy your soul dantian!>

Suddenly, a massive green dragon appeared in Miaomiao's dantian space. It exuded the aura of a dragon deity. However, its Qi was weaker than Meowmeow.

Miaomiao immediately sent his message to his glutton parasites.

'Food is here!'

Meowmeow, Diaochan, and Xu Chu heard that. Even Eurobeat was interested.

The parasites rushed to the dragon.

Time to feast!
