War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens
chapter-4062

Although the strength Wang Xiong displayed so far was not comparable to Yuan Mo Yu’s strength, Wang Xiong received far greater attention during the Seven Mansions Feast.

Yuan Mo Yu’s expression was solemn and his gaze was wary as he faced Wang Xiong on the battlefield. He did not dare to underestimate Wang Xiong at all. He said in a low voice, “Wang Xiong, I’m really curious about your strength. I hope you’ll try and defeat me quickly. If you take your time, you might not have a chance to show your strength at all…”

In other words, Yuan Mo Yu was not going to hold back at all during the fight.

Wang Xiong replied with a faint smile, “The young prodigy from the Green Province Mansion’s Howling Heaven Sect is really one of a kind. I’m honored to be able to learn a thing or two from you.”

As soon as Wang Xiong’s voice fell, his aura changed immediately. His disheveled hair fluttered in the wind.

Yuan Mo Yu made a move first after Lin Dong Lai announced the start of the fight. His terrifying blood qi rose and fell on Wang Xiong like a torrential rain.

At the same time, countless dazzling golden sword rays burst forth from Wang Xiong’s body toward Yuan Mo Yu. When he raised his hand, the sword rays gathered and formed a huge golden sword ray that merged with his prominent divine sword. He roared, “Slash!”

When Wang Xiong and Yuan Mo Yu’s attacks collided, terrifying shockwaves rippled out to the surroundings. Just like before, Lin Dong Lai was quick to neutralize the shockwaves.

When the dust settled, the two opponents appeared before everyone’s eyes again. Wang Xiong, who was dressed sloppily as usual, stood tall and strong with his sword in hand. On the other hand, Yuan Mo Yu could be seen staggering a few steps back. Blood could be seen at the corners of his mouth as well.

‘Yuan Mo Yu lost!’ Duan Ling Tian was still shocked despite already anticipating this outcome.

After all, Wang Xiong injured Yuan Mo Yu with just a strike. Not only that, but he remained unscathed from the fight.

“You’re stronger than I am,” Yuan Mo Yu said as he sighed and shook his head. Then, he returned to stand with the people from the Howling Heaven Sect.

At the same time, the high-ranking officials from the Howling Heaven Sect wore dark expressions on their faces. After all, they had felt confident about Yuan Mo Yu ranking in the top three. However, after this fight, they knew it was unlikely that Yuan Mo Yu would be able to do so. They wondered about Wang Xiong’s origin and if Wang Xiong was the external help that the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Frozen Mountain Manor recruited.

In fact, Wang Xiong had always been a disciple of the Frozen Mountain Manor. He had always maintained a low profile so no one from the other Mansions had heard of him before. Even the people of the Frozen Mountain Manor did not know he possessed such strength. It was only during the Seven Mansions Feast that he became famous.

‘He’s terrifyingly strong…’ Lin Yuan, who had been looking at ease most of the time, looked solemn as well at this moment.

At the same time, despite looking indifferent, Tuo Ba Xiu felt bitter inwardly. After all, her chances of ranking in the top three now were slim to none.

Before the crowd recovered from the shock of watching Wang Xiong’s fight, Lin Dong Lai called out again, “Participant number five, please enter the battlefield.”

Lin Yuan, the young prodigy from the Profound Jade Mansion’s Howling Flames Sect, flew into the battlefield.

In fact, it should have been Tuo Ba Xiu’s turn to issue a challenge, but she was exempted due to special circumstances.

At this time, a few high-ranking officials from the Feudal Lord Mansion’s Primal Flame Sect were staring at Tuo Ba Xiu murderously. All of them were waiting for a chance to kill her. These few people were incredibly loyal and were willing to sacrifice their lives if it meant that they could kill her. However, it was incredibly hard to find an opening when she was tightly protected by the intermediate Emperors of Gods from the top forces in the Underworld Mansion. Apart from that, there was also Lin Dong Lai, who was responsible for keeping the peace as the host of the Seven Mansions Feast. They had tried to bribe Lin Dong Lai but were quickly rejected.

‘It seems like I have no other choice…’ Lin Yuan glanced at Yuan Mo Yu, who had just been defeated by Wang Xiong.

In everyone’s eyes, Lin Yuan was stronger than Yuan Mo Yu who had defeated Tuo Ba Xiu before she awakened her Blood Phoenix Bloodline. Perhaps, if she had been in peak condition, it might not be impossible for her to defeat Yuan Mo Yu.

Lin Yuan smiled faintly as he asked Yuan Mo Yu, “Do you want to fight or rest?”

Yuan Mo Yu smiled bitterly and helplessly as he replied, “I’m no match for you. I accept your challenge, and I surrender.”

In fact, Yuan Mo Yu could refuse Lin Yuan’s challenge since he had just ended a fight. However, he knew he was no match for Lin Yuan and would not be able to avoid a fight later as well. As such, it was better to surrender so as to not waste both their time. Since he was no match for Lin Yuan, he would not hinder Lin Yuan from advancing. He would just watch the fight from the side.

With that, Lin Dong Lai said, “Lin Yuan’s opponent forfeited.” Then, he looked at Lin Yuan and asked, “Now that you’re ranked fourth, do you want to challenge the third participant? According to the rules of the Seven Mansions Feast, you must challenge the third participant now since you rose to the fourth place without fighting. However, since the third participant has just fought, he can choose to refuse your challenge. However, if he accepts your challenge, you’ll have to fight him or surrender.”

The third participant was now Wang Xiong, who defeated Yuan Mo Yu.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Yuan after Lin Dong Lai finished speaking. Their eyes burned with excitement and anticipation when they heard Lin Yuan had to challenge Wang Xiong now.

Lin Yuan looked at Wang Xiong and said in a deep voice, “Participant number three, I challenge you. However, you can refuse if you need time to recover your energy from your previous fight. We can fight in the next bout. I don’t want to take advantage of you.”

To everyone’s surprise, Wang Xiong flew into the battlefield.

“That’s not necessary. I only consumed a little energy and have already recovered it. Let’s get this over with. I can’t wait for the Seven Mansions Feast to end,” Wang Xiong said solemnly. His aura changed as soon as he faced Lin Yuan on the battlefield. His carefree attitude had completely disappeared.

The crowd was excited and filled with anticipation.

“Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong both have yet to go all out until now. They also haven’t used their bloodline powers.”

“I wonder who’s stronger… It’s said that Lin Yuan might be from a supreme-rank clan!”

“A young prodigy from a supreme-rank clan? He has to be outstanding!”

“I think Wang Xiong is more formidable than Lin Yuan. Even his peers in the Frozen Mountain Manor thought he was ordinary for so many years. To think he’s able to lay low for such a long time despite possessing such strength. I wouldn’t be able to do it if I were him.”

Similar to the crowd, Duan Ling Tian’s up burned with anticipation as well.

‘Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong are fighting so soon… This fight means that the Seven Mansions Feast is about to end…’

Duan Ling Tian’s expression turned solemn as he thought to himself, ‘Both of them will have to go all out during this fight…’

In Duan Ling Tian’s opinion, Lin Yuan and Wang Xiong’s strengthmight be on par with his or perhaps, even stronger. As such, those two were the biggest obstacles standing in his way to ranking first in the Seven Mansions Feast.
