Chapter 7: Life and Death Arena at Tianxing Peak
The time for the duel with Zhang Meng, the direct disciple of Tianjian Peak, has arrived.
Chu Xiu left the cave and walked in the clouds of Yunxia Peak, where fairy mist lingers and flocks of cranes soar above his head.
From time to time, a few spirit beasts would run out from the bushes nearby.
The spiritual beasts are not afraid of people. A few cute white rabbits came to Chu Xiu and asked for food.
But they were all scared away by the look he gave Spicy Rabbit Head.
The arena of life and death is located at Tianxing Peak.
Also known as Punishment Peak.
The peak master of each generation is named Tian Xing, who is in charge of the punishments in the holy land.
Tian Xingfeng's direct and true disciples are all disciples of the Punishment Hall, supervising the entire holy land.
Therefore, the disciples of Tianxing Peak have the best overall strength among all the peaks in the holy land.
The second is Tianjian Peak.
Then comes Yunxia Peak, mainly because there are too few true disciples in Yunxia Peak, with only five people, including Chu Xiu.
"The new issue of the Tianji Ranking has been updated. Did you know?"
"Yes, I bought a copy of the latest Tianji newspaper."
Chu Xiu looked forward and saw two of his direct disciples in purple robes walking side by side, talking and laughing.
He stepped forward and stopped the two men.
The slightly plump purple-robed disciple's expression changed slightly. He smiled and said, "I wonder what advice you have for me, Senior Brother since you have stopped us two from going?"
Although he called Chu Xiu "senior brother", there was no respect in his tone.
There was even contempt in his eyes.
Everyone in Yunxia Peak knows that "Chu Xiu" is a waste.
Although he is the eldest senior brother of the true disciples, his cultivation is not as good as most of the direct disciples.
Twenty days ago, he was even crippled by Zhang Meng, the purple-robed disciple of Tianjian Peak.
In this world where strength is respected and the strong prey on the weak, it is not enough to have a status if you want to be respected. You must have the strength to match your status.
Obviously, "Chu Xiu" does not have this ability.
Naturally, no one will respect him.
Chu Xiu didn't care about other people's contempt. Everyone has their own unique face, and he had experienced this too many times.
Without further ado, he waved his hand, took out ten top-grade Yuan stones and threw them to the other party.
"Sell me the new issue of Tianji Newspaper."
"Hehe~"
The fat disciple grinned and handed Chu Xiu a piece of light golden paper.
A copy of Tianjibao is only worth one medium-quality Yuanshi.
Since this sucker is willing to pay a high price, he is naturally happy to see it happen.
Chu Xiu left with the Tianji News.
Walk and look.
[Major Events on the Sky Continent]
[No.1: Changes have occurred on the Lesser Saints List. Chu Xiu, who was originally ranked first, was surrounded and killed by dozens of Great Saints in the Howling Forbidden Land, Soul Returning Cliff.
During the hunt, Chu Xiu plotted to kill two Great Saints in the early stages, and his record was shocking. Now, Chu Xiu is at the top of the list.
The first person on the Minor Saint List is the Holy Son of Yaoguang Holy Land, Feng Yaoguang, who has reached the peak of Minor Saint cultivation and a divine body with spiritual energy.
[No.2: This is the latest battle report of the Tianyuan Great Wall. In the past six months, demons and barbarians have invaded human territory on a large scale.
The major holy places, major sects, and ancient families stationed on the Great Wall have all been suppressed by great saints. Both sides have fallen great saint-level fighters...]
[No. 3: There is a change in the fourth place on the Lesser Saint List. The original fourth place, Zhang Xianling, the Saintess of the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, was replaced by Liu Hongyi, the Saintess of the Red Dust Sword Sect]
[Reasons for Liu Hongyi's ranking rise: Eighth level of Lesser Saint, divine body and innate sword body, successfully attacked and killed Zhang Xinran, an elder of the Red Dust Sword Sect and the early stage of Great Saint.]
[Saintess Liu Hongyi has been confirmed to have betrayed the Red Dust Sword Sect and is now wanted by the Red Dust Sword Sect. The bounty is 1 million divine stones.]
[According to the Red Dust Sword Sect's leader, Saint King Red Dust, who went back in time, it was determined that Liu Hongyi deeply connected with the deceased Chu Xiu. The reason she attacked and killed Elder Zhang Xinran was to avenge Chu Xiu, who was surrounded and killed.]
[Hongchen Sword Sect issues a warning: Please be careful of this girl, and don't underestimate the enemy if you have surrounded and killed Chu Xiu before.]
...
Chu Xiu's eyes were dazed for a moment.
A little girl in red with watery eyes appeared in my mind.
Sneer: "Idiot~"
Click~
The Yuan force surged, and the Tianji News in his hand was shattered into powder and scattered between heaven and Earth.
Tianxing Peak.
The giant peaks, tens of thousands of feet high and surrounded by rosy clouds and colourful clouds, did not give people the slightest feeling of a fairyland on Earth. There was only endless murderous intent and dead silence. Even the cranes and other spiritual birds dared not stay on Tianxing Peak. They were too weak and could not withstand the bloody intent.
Halfway up Tianxing Peak, there is a circular platform with a radius of 10,000 meters.
The life and death arena was set up here.
At this time.
Thousands of purple-robed disciples from various peaks, as well as some true disciples who had not yet gone into seclusion, were gathered here.
As for why the inner disciples didn't come?
Because they are not qualified to watch the game.
They were not even qualified to reach halfway up the mountain.
It can be seen that the hierarchy has been deeply rooted in the bones of the cultivators of the Sky Continent.
"It's so lively today~"
Jian Lingyun, the true disciple of Tianjian Peak, turned his head, looked around, and yawned.
"Brother Ling Xiao, I heard that you have made great progress in your recent retreat and have already broken through to the realm of magical power. This is really cause for celebration."
The disciple next to him was fawning and flattering.
Jian Lingyun waved his hand: "It's just the supernatural realm, not worth mentioning."
After saying that, he turned to look at the female cultivator in white, who was carrying a long sword on her back.
She has a beautiful oval face, eyes like water, eyebrows like distant mountains, a cold temperament, and she never smiles.
"Junior Sister Xu, I thought You didn't come to such a boring place."
Xu Tianzhen looked straight ahead and said in a cold tone, "This matter was caused by me, so of course, I have to come and take a look."
"I am familiar with Chu Xiu. I don't want him to die here."
There was a flash of murderous intent in Jian Lingyun's eyes. Xu Tianzhen had long been regarded as his forbidden delicacy by him. Chu Xiu actually dared to have such crazy thoughts about her at that waste. He deserved to die.
"Hehe~"
"Senior Sister Xu, what if he wants to die?"
Zhang Meng, who was standing behind Jian Lingyun, saw that the boss's face was not right and immediately smiled: "Senior sister, you can't save someone who is looking for death."
Xu Tianzhen glanced at Zhang Meng indifferently and said nothing.
"Then why hasn't Chu Xiu come yet? Is he afraid?"
"I think so..."
"Haha, he is the eldest senior brother of Yunxia Peak. He really brings shame to the master of Yunxia Peak."
"That's right. He can't even beat Zhang Meng from our Tianjian Peak. How can he be the eldest senior brother?"
"I don't know how the people of Yunxia Peak could allow such a waste to sit as their senior brother."
The direct disciples from the surrounding peaks were talking and discussing loudly, showing undisguised contempt and ridicule.
Here, the direct disciples of Yunxia Peak who came here especially to watch the battle all looked unhappy.
It is true that Chu Xiu is a waste, but he is one of them, after all. Now that he is being ridiculed by an outsider, they are naturally unhappy, but they have no way to refute it.
"Hey~"
at this time.
A blue light came flying quickly.
On the high stage of the life and death competition, in the true teachings spectator seats, a woman in a green dress appeared.
She had almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and her black hair was tied into a simple bun at the back of her head, falling softly on her shoulders.
"It's Tao Yao, the fifth senior sister from Yunxia Peak."
"I didn't expect this person to come and watch the game today."
"Senior Sister Taoyao~"
Jian Lingyun smiled with his face but not his heart.
Tao Yao's beautiful eyes moved, and she sneered: "Jian Lingyun, don't think that you are so great just because you have achieved a breakthrough in magical power. If you dare to smile at me like this again, I will dig out your eyes and throw them on the ground as if they were shining stones."
Upon hearing this, Jian Lingyun's face instantly turned dark, and he didn't dare say anything else.
He knew the character of this witch.
If he dares to talk back again.
Even if this is Tianxing Peak.
The other party will definitely do what they say.
"Here I come~"
Someone called out.
Just see.
A small flying boat flew up to the mountainside from the foot of Tianxing Peak at a leisurely pace.
On the bow deck, a black-robed, black-haired young man with a blood-red sword slung diagonally at his waist stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight.
Her long black hair fluttered back in the wind.
The dark and deep eyes looked straight ahead.
There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
