Chapter 77: A Great Calamity That Does Not Kill

  The sky is torn apart, and the realm of the spiritual masters is strong. The power of a single blow from those who have reached this level is something that only they can understand.

  Only to see Xi Po Tian's massive fist, accompanied by a residual shadow and a loud sonic boom, ferociously striking Xia Yan, the dust on the ground was violently swept away, making it impossible for the surrounding crowd to open their eyes.

  "You're shameless..."

  As Xi Po Tian's fist was about to strike, Xia Fei Long's figure also arrived nearby, similarly striking out with a fist of thunderous momentum, and in an instant collided with the fist that Xi Po Tian had struck out.

  Peng

  The sound of thunder in general.

  Xī Pò Tiān and Xià Fēi Lóng each flipped themselves out, while in the vicinity of their massive collision, Xià Yán was sent flying like a withered leaf.

  "Summer words..."

  Xia Zixin's slender figure fluttered like a butterfly, and with a burst of speed, she rushed out at the first moment.

  Wang Yu Yan originally also wanted to rush over, but she slowed down a step, seeing Xia Zi Xin had already rushed over, her body swayed and then withdrew the body that was about to rush out. Her face was somewhat pale, with fine sweat beads already wetting her collar.

  Xia Feilong and Xi Po Tian stared at each other, both of their auras rising.

  "Stop it!"

  Hong Fei also came down from the high platform with the other officials. Hong Fei had the longest seniority in the Holy Hall, and his status was above that of the three family heads, second only to the Master of the Holy Hall. Since Hong Fei had already spoken, Xia Feilong and Xi Po Tian naturally had to give up.

  Xie Po Tian's anger was slowly suppressed, he glanced at Xie Qiushui's corpse still lying on the ground, the pain in his heart made him clench his fist tightly, his fingernails directly piercing into his flesh.

  He had only one son, and yet he didn't expect him to die in this competition today.

  If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let his son participate in this competition...

  "Summer words..."

  Xia Zixin caught Xia Yan's body, Xia Yan was pale as paper due to excessive blood loss, his lips were colorless, but the corners of his mouth still had a hint of cold smile.

  A sharp knife protruding from the chest, shocking at first sight.

  The three big families' children also gathered around the scene. What had just happened made everyone feel like they were dreaming. Although the three big families had been competing in business for more than a year or two, nothing as serious as this had ever happened before.

  "It's nothing!" Xia Yan smiled at Xia Zixing and blinked, "It's just that there's an extra sword in my body, it feels a bit weird."

  "Hmph!"

  Xia Zixin heard what Xia Yan said, and seeing that Xia Yan didn't seem to be fatally injured, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Afterwards, she fiercely glared at Xia Yan, "It's come to this point, yet you're still making jokes. If it was a bit closer, this sword would have pierced your heart..."

  Xia Zixin confidently glanced at the position where the long sword had pierced through, and only then did she slightly relax.

  Wang Yu Yan kept staring at Xia Zi Xin, seeing Xia Zi Xin still smiling, her heart relaxed a bit, she already knew that Xia Yan should be fine, otherwise Xia Zi Xin wouldn't be able to smile like this.

  "It would be best for our royal family if Xia Yan were to die, but why... I don't want him to die?" Wang Yu Yan furrowed her brow slightly, her heart tangled with emotions as she gazed up at the sky.

  ……

  "What happened today was an accident, resulting in Xi Qiushui's death. However, this matter has nothing to do with Xia Yan directly. Our eyes clearly saw that it was Xi Qiushui who suddenly attacked Xia Yan first. Xi Potian, what do you think?" Although Hong Fei's voice was calm and slightly heavy, the invisible pressure made people feel it clearly.

  Xie Po Tian fell silent for a while, and everyone's eyes were on him.

  "Hmph, this matter my son is indeed at fault, however, the spot in the competition absolutely cannot be given to Xia Yan!" Xi Po Tian's body shook violently, gritting his teeth.

  "Hmm, I guess it's settled then!" Hong Fei nodded in agreement.

  "This..." Xia Fei Long furrowed his brow, he naturally did not want Xia Yan's quota to be cancelled, just then an elder had whispered in his ear that Xia Yan was not actually hit and should have no worries about his life.

  "Heh heh, Xia Fei Long, although Xia Yan can't get this spot, you can choose another person from the Xia family, right?" Hong Fei's eyes flashed as he stretched out his hand to stop Xia Fei Long's words.

  Xia Fei Long glanced at Xi Po Tian and then at the various officials in the Holy Hall, but didn't say anything more. It seemed that things could only be this way.

  "Hmph!" Xi Po Tian let out a cold hum, his eyes piercing like needles towards Xia Yan and Xia Zi Xin's direction.

  Yafen's soft and tempting figure walked gently to Xia Yan's side, with a captivating glow flashing in her eyes. Just now she was also extremely nervous, but seeing that Xia Yan seemed not to be in any life-threatening danger, she regained her usual calmness and confident smile.

  "Ling Luo is indeed Ling Luo, hehe, I'm looking forward to your performance on the high-level stage." Yafen winked at Xia Yan.

  Xia Yan smiled wryly and shook his head.

  Xia Zixin saw Ya Fen and Xia Yan talking, her heart skipped a beat. Did Xia Yan and Ya Fen know each other?

  Yafen is a key figure in the extreme challenge arena, how did Xia Yan get to know her? It seems that not only do they know each other, but their relationship is also unusual. What does Yafen mean by what she said? Xia Zixing... didn't quite understand!

  "Zix in, you've spilled the medicine on the wrong place!" Xia Yan rolled his eyes, and Xia Zixin came back to himself, having sprinkled the hemostatic agent onto his belly instead of Xia Yan's chest wound.

  "Ah......" Xia Zixin exclaimed in a flustered tone.

  ……

  The last five quota places were taken by Xia Jia, with two of them going to Xia Zixing and Xia Liu. The quota place obtained by Xia Liu was originally supposed to go to Xia Yan, but was cancelled due to his poor performance. In reality, Xia Liu should not have gotten the quota place.

  The Wang family also got two places, while the Xi family only had one place. Because of Xi Qiushui's death, a young man from the Wang family who was originally ranked sixth moved up one spot and got this place.

  It can be said that the biggest beneficiary of this competition is the Wang family.

  Xia Yan was carried back by the Xia family's children and after being treated by a pharmacist, he had no major problems and would be able to move freely after resting for a few days.

  "If it wasn't for the crucial moment, I would have controlled my back muscles to move slightly. This time, I must die!" Xia Yan lay on the bed, expressionless, with a flash of cold light in his eyes.

  At that time, Xi Qiushui had lost his rationality, but his swordsmanship was extremely sharp and overbearing. Xi Qiushui also clearly knew where Xia Yan's weakness lay - his heart. He stabbed out with one sword, directly striking Xia Yan's heart. However, at the last moment, Xia Yan unexpectedly controlled his muscles to move slightly, barely avoiding this fatal blow.

  Otherwise, Xia Yan would undoubtedly die with his heart pierced.

  It was also because of using Sheng Huang Lao Tou's medicinal solution that Xia Yan possessed this subtle control over his body muscles.

  This time I was able to narrowly escape death, Xia Yan still had to thank the old Holy Emperor.

  "The old emperor was right, to the enemy, absolutely cannot be merciful! From now on... I will remember!" Xia Yan's state of mind changed once again. Today, killing Xi Qiu Shui with one sword was still Xia Yan's first real kill. When challenging Wang Fu Sheng in the Extreme Challenge Arena, Xia Yan only managed to severely injure Wang Fu Sheng.

  "Alas, my quota has been cancelled. It seems I won't be able to take the assessment at Violet Leaf Academy!" Thinking that his assessment quota had been cancelled, he couldn't help but feel a little downhearted. Violet Leaf Academy was, after all, the holy land that Xia Yan had always dreamed of entering. It could be said that among the young cultivators from over twenty counties under the jurisdiction of Violet Leaf City, there wasn't a single one who didn't want to enter Violet Leaf Academy.
