The Awaited Battle ; Nura Rihan vs Ling Yun

It was early morning and the sky had not yet completely brightened. The fifth to eighth place ranking matches were already underway on the Sword Discourse Arena. Although the ones participating in those matches were the losers of yesterday's Quarterfinals: Ling Feiyu, Shui Wushuang, Xiao Kuanglei, and Xiao Nan, entering the Quarterfinals had already made them completely worthy of being the younger generation's peak talents.

When the Heavenly Sword Villa arrived the crowd started to get excited.

As Ling Yun entered, the arena, which was originally very bustling, became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Ling Yun will finally be fighting in the truest sense of the word. Due to his widely acknowledged prowess, most of his fight ended with his opponent throwing the 'white towel'.

Today he will be up against the most terrifying Dark horse ever recorded in the history of Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.

"Hey, have you seen the Nura Clan yet?"

"Now that you mention it, I haven't seen them enter yet. Could it be that they plan on throwing the fight?"

"Don't be stupid, Cang Yue and Qin Wushang is already on the corner, they would definitely be here in a moment."

"Right, I even saw Rihan and Ling Yun looked at each other full of battle intent yesterday."

Because the Nura Clan is not yet on the venue, this situation lead to much discussion among the crowd.

Unbeknownst to them, it was all part of Hannya's plan. He wanted to make everyone discuss more about his clan.

The more they do that, the Clan's name would spread fast like a wildfire, which would result to the completion of his quest.

While the crowd were busy discussing about the whereabouts of the Nura Clan, they noticed the sudden appearance of rolling mist covering the entrance.

Within those mist everyone can see multiple silhouettes.

When they got closer, the crowd immediately recognized the people who just arrived.

It was the Nura Clan.

Inside the Sky Poison Pearl, Jasmine looked at the situation. Her mouth kept twitching, she heard exactly how the mysterious Patriarch discussed this "epic" entrance while keeping a stoic face.

The plan was for them to arrive late to give a better impact when they make their entrance.

They even released rolling mist to make it cooler. She watched each member of Nura Clan acting like a professional, she couldn't find any signs of embarrassment at all.

Normal people like Cang Yue and Qin Wushang who clearly doesn't have talent for this was sent first, like a collateral to assure the crowd that Nura Clan will definitely appear.

Just like what Hannya expected.

The crowd bursted into loud cheers when they arrive, the crowd treated them like how people treated famous actors back on Earth.

[Ding! Main Quest completion has reached 95%]

Hannya led everyone to the Blue Wind Imperial Family's corner, his expression didn't even change when he heard the notification.

'Rihan, are you guys really that shameless?' Jasmine couldn't help but asked.

'Little Girl, you're still too young to understand how to stage a great performance.' Rihan replied with a hint of pity in his voice.

And that pity made Jasmine stunned silly, she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Blue Wind Imperial Family's Nura Rihan —— versus —— Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Yun!!

Ling Wugou announced the participants of the first match in semi-finals.

The crowd felt the excitement in their hearts trying to jumped out, This historical showdown was undoubtedly going to be a match brimming with suspense —— a duel between the two monster's.

Everyone thought that the battle between the two would only happen in the finals, it's totally unexpected for them to meet in semi-finals instead.

"Go!" Ling Yuefeng gave Ling Yun a sweeping gesture with his hand.

Ling Yun nodded. Without seeing any motion or profound energy fluctuation under his feet, his entire body had already vaulted up. As he was in midair, he grabbed at the nothingness with his palm, and the Celestial Yuan Sword that was in Ling Jie's hands, flew up by itself into his hands. In the next instant, he had already landed in the middle of the Sword Discourse Arena and stood there magnificently. The edge of his clothing fluttered, his otherworldly handsome face was like jade, his gaze as if the autumn water. It instantly made the eyes of many young girls bloom like peach blossoms as they lose control of their beating heart.

Seeing this, Hannya clicked his tongue and spoke to Rihan, "Brat, don't let that kid act cool, give him a more flashy entrance."

Of course only Rihan and Jasmine heard Hannya's words.

Jasmine was speechless, while Rihan nodded.

Thick smoke rose from the ground and coiled around Rihan, when he took a step forward, the wind blew, the smoke scattered, under everyone's amazed look, a dark blue coat with a "Fear" logo on the back covered Rihan's dark green kimono.

Under the warm sun, Rihan's godly features shone with dominance, with a light movement, his body shoot up in the air, the Nura Clan coat on his back fluttered in a the wind, his elegance was in full display.

His foots were light as there was no sound when he landed on the arena.

His cool entrance received a huge cheers from the crowd, some girls almost went crazy from seeing his dazzling movement.

When he saw this, Hannya nodded with satisfaction apparent on his face.

When it comes to coolness, no one even came close to them. This kid is still 100 years early to compete with them.

On the Arena, Ling Yun looked at Rihan, with a swing of the Celestial Yuan Sword, he made a simple sword courtesy toward Rihan: "Heavenly Sword Villa's Disciple, Ling Yun, asks for your guidance."

Unsheathing Nenekerimaru, he looked at Ling Yun with half closed eyes,"Nura Clan's And Blue Wind Imperial Family's, Nura Rihan, I will definitely guide you."

Seeing the two had already finished preparing, Ling Wugou did not delay either and said with a loud voice: "First match of the Semifinals, Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Yun, against Blue Wind Imperial Family's Nura Rihan, battle start!!"

Nenekerimaru and Celestial Yuan Sword both emitted a clear hum that sent sound waves throughout the Arena.
