Chapter 539 - Battle arena

Translator: Aran

The Enlightened Tea Garden was neither big nor small. When a little movement happened over at one side, almost all the people of the whole tea garden would know.

Ye Qingyu’s path was blocked. And since his responding attitude was arrogant, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

The five people had once again become the focus of the crowd.

There were people that recognized the young man in flame armour.

“It's the successor of Greater One Sect’s Great Hua Peak, Chen Shaohua. It is said that among the successors of the eight peaks, this person can be ranked in the top five, a very powerful figure.” Someone had a change of expression.

“So he is [Sword Leaves No Person] Chen Shaohua. These years this person has been constantly in the limelight. It is said that he had once challenged the headmasters of 20 sects in a row, and was not defeated once. Adding to this, he is cruel and merciless, and never leaves his opponent alive. Whoever is challenged by him would be restless like a thorn is on their back.”

“It looks like this Chen Shaohua is here to teach him a lesson. It’s understandable, all the disciples and elders were called trash in this Enlightened Tea Garden. If he let such a maniac leave alive, then Greater One Sect would completely lose their face. Elder Xie did not wanted to be called bullying before so he did not teach this little guy of Thunder and Lightning Sect a lesson, now there are Greater One Sect disciples coming for him.”

“This is interesting, it seems that [Sword Leaves No Person] is here to challenge the boy of Thunder and Lightning Sect. Haha, I would like to see, see if that arrogant boy of Thunder and Lightning Sect can really survive under the sword of Chen Shaohua.”

There were many that recognized Chen Shaohua.

Those that attend this tea garden were all top crystal disciples of major sects and forces. Even if they had not met face to face before in the Jianghu of Clear River Domain, they should have heard of each other's reputation.

The young and vigorous people were all ambitious and self-confident. The occasion of enjoying tea and grasping the Dao before was obviously not something that these young people liked. If it was not for the attraction of [Great Dao Sentient Flower], there would not have been so many young talents coming today. But the present tense scene very quickly aroused the interest of all.

More and more onlookers gathered around.

“Little thing, you are very crazy.” Chen Shaohua sneered, “In Clear River Domain, we’ve never had a person be able to leave safe and sound after insulting my Greater One Sect.”

Ye Qingyu gave a sidelong glance, “Do not pretend tough in front of me, look at the younger generation of Greater One Sect, they have no respect to seniority. Haha, Xiao Yunlong that fool, went over to you to fan the flames. You want to fight back your place, right? Don’t waste time, what do you want. Let’s settle it here, I am very busy.”

Chen Shaohua was arrogant, but Ye Qingyu's performance was much more arrogant that this successor of Great Huan Peak.

Xiao Yunlong went green in the face.

But he did not dare say a word.

“Good, good.” Chen Shaohua had a resentful smile across his face, “It has been a very long time since I’ve seen a stupid idiot like you, I’ll take your head and hang it on the tea garden doorway for seven days and seven nights, as an apology to Greater One Sect from you... Come!”

Before his voice faded.

Behind, there were Greater One Sect disciples activating formations. Formation chains that were like a Phoenix’s wing flickering and moving about in the void, ripples forming above the small lake, white pillars suddenly shooting up from under the water, and as the mist was building up there was an eight-sided floating battle arena forming above the small lake.

“Boy, don't say I didn't give you a chance, on the battle arena, one relies on their own abilities. I...”

Chen Shaohua pointed to the battle arena.

But his words had not finished, when Ye Qingyu soared up, like a tremendous bird, heavily landing on the eight-sided floating battle arena with a loud thud.

“Don’t talk nonsense, come up to die.”

Ye Qingyu disdainfully said.

Chen Shaohua’s face was suddenly embarrassed and gloomy.

It never occurred to him that Ye Qingyu would play this move.

He was the one who built the battle arena and he was the one to say such ruthless words first, but the kid of the Thunder and Lightning Sect did not play the usual cards, and instead jumped up onto the battle arena first and told him to come die. If he jumped up now, it really would seem like he is doing as he said and came to die.

The people nearby also burst into gales of laughter.

The successor of Thunder and Lightning Sect was so interesting.

Chen Shaohua, with a fierce look on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then his body flashed and instantly appeared on the battle arena.

The way he ascended the arena was more elegant than Ye Qingyu before.

By this time, the lake had gathered nearly one hundred people.

Great Thief Hu Bugui lowered his voice, quietly asking in the ears of Old Fish, “Cross-eye, can your disciple do this, will he be killed? The Greater One Sect’s [Sword Leaves No Person] Chen Shaohua is regarded as a merciless person. He should not be underestimated.”

𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Old Fish glanced at Hu Bugui, saying disdainfully, “You are afraid?”

Hu Bugui grunted, “I am reminding you, do not take the life of Little brother Tian Huang as a joke.”

“Oh, so you are scared.” Old Fish immediately turned back round and continued to stare expectantly at the battle arena on the lake.

Hu Bugui's pair of sword-like brows were wildly raised.

What do you mean I’m scared?

Does this cross-eyed fool not understand human language?

“Oh, yes, don’t call me cross-eye in the future.” The Old Fish remembered something, and said very seriously, “I must formally emphasize this once, I am double fish eye.”

Both Hu Bugui’s and Liu Shaji’s face went expressionless at the same time, “Double fish eye? What kind of eye is that?”

The Old Fish simply ignored the two idiots, turned his head and began watching attentively at the fight on the eight-sided floating battle arena.

Because the fight between Chen Shaohua and Ye Qingyu had begun.

But the successor of Immortal God Emperor Sect, Nan Tieyi, who had rarely said a word, suddenly thoughtfully added, “I really want to know.”

“Know what?” Liu Shaji and Hu Bugui asked in unison.

Nan Tieyi slightly smiled, “Double fish eye is actually a different way of saying cross-eyed.”

Pfff.

Old Fish, Hu Bugui and Liu Shaji had almost all collapsed.

They did not expect a person like Nan Tieyi to suddenly say such a bad joke.

……

On the eight-sided floating battle arena.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh.

Sword qi were filling the air, and the bright-as-fragile-silver sword light suddenly formed a dense network in the void.

[Sword Leaves No Person], Chen Shaohua's nickname has the word sword, so his attainments in swordsmanship was indeed commendable. There was no sword in his hands, but at whichever place he was thinking of, there was a biting cold sword light and thick layers of cold air. In the void there was an invisible sword light slashing across, like a knife slicing butter, cutting the air, creating blasts of air visible to the naked eye.

Frosty cold sword light had almost enveloped the whole battle arena.

Ye Qingyu was shifting about in the sword light.

Although he had not been attacked by the sword light, he was already looking troubled.

“Wait... Wait a minute... Wait a minute.” He jumped up and down, shouting loudly.

Chen Shaohua's mouth was curved in a cold smile, his mind went quiet for a moment, and the limitless sword qi vanished. He said in a mocking tone, “What? Are you scared? It's too late.”

Ye Qingyu snorted, “Who would be afraid of you. Although our Thunder and Lightning Sect has a long tradition, but because we have not been in Jianghu for a long time, so I came unprepared and did not take our sect’s battle armour...” he said while undressing, taking off his upper body clothes, revealing his well built muscles that were like carved jade stones, radiating a dazzling beauty.

This scene, made all spectators a little confused.

What is this?

Trying to stall for time?

Or is he going to take off his clothes and fight?

Among the crowd, there were quite a lot of young women experts.

Upon seeing this scene, the young girls were all blushing.

The sisters of the Hundred Spirits Sect were also there. They were concernedly watching the changes in the battle. Mentally, they were of course standing on the side of Ye Qingyu who had helped them before, but they dared not show this in the slightest. And when they saw that Demon King Ye took off his upper garment, they blushed shyly and dared not stare again.

But for the girls, in that moment of shock, there was a kind of uncontrollable rush of excitement.

Under the sun, dressed only in trousers and boots, and his upper body naked, the young man’s proportions were almost perfect. There was a dazzling sense of beauty, his thick long hair dancing in the wind. He had thick brows and big eyes, a slender and well built body, like a Fiendgod, which, for many women, was almost an irresistible force, striking them in the chest.

Not to mention females, at that moment of sunlight falling on his body, even some of the men of the major sects also revealed a look of jealousy.

……

“Wait a minute, I’ll put my clothes to one side first so they are not destroyed. These are very expensive, you won’t be able to replace them.”

He didn’t seem to be in such a hurry at this moment.

There was a mass of fire raging in his heart, but since he couldn’t get away now then he thought he might as well make a scene and vent his anger on this Chen Shaohua.

Chen Shaohua's patience was much stronger than the average person.

He waited until Ye Qingyu folded his clothes and threw it to Old Fish. Only then did he say coldly, “Are you ready?”

Ye Qingyu knew right away that his plan of infuriating the opponent would not succeed. The successor of Great Hua Peak after all cannot be underestimated.

“Come on.”

Ye Qingyu clenched his hand.

Fighting spirit rose violently in him.

Since the fortuitous encounter in the Moonlight Immortal Palace of the underground river, cultivating the power of chaotic thunder liquid, and his strength being brought to a higher level, Ye Qingyu needed a strong opponent to stimulate himself, for him to fully display all he had learnt——only through such blazing battle can he truly enhance his strength.

Swoosh!

The sword light was broken.

Chen Shaohua operated his thoughts, and endless sword light rose again.

The entire eight-sided floating battle arena was once again abruptly shrouded in penetrating cold sword light.

The air above the battle arena seemed like it would be torn apart.

There was a clamour of excitement.

Anyone could tell that, compared to before, the Chen Shaohua at this moment really had the intention to kill. There was a heavy killing intent filling the air.

“Good timing.”

Ye Qingyu roared, purple lightning surging within his eyes.

In a split second, there was a thin mist-like purple light arc enveloping his body, like he was draped with a purple invisible armour. Without any signs of evading or hiding, he charged right into the sword light that was all across the sky.

“Ah...”

“He’s crazy?”

“This... he wants to die.”

The crowd exclaimed out loud.
