Chapter 38: Fire Fox VS Snow Lotus
Originally thought Duan Chen would be in a panic and beg for mercy, but he just smiled and didn't care about his current situation. Duan Chen drew out his magnificent sword and stabbed at Xia Mingchuan, who retreated two steps and watched as Duan Chen stood up.
Xia Mingchuan smiled and looked at Duan Chen, who had already lost the game. What else could he come up with?
"Xia Mingchuan, you don't think that relying on the Five Elements' physique will allow you to win against me today, do you?" Duan Chen bent down and brushed off the dust from his body, but there was not a hint of dishevelment about him. He continued to smile lightly and carefreely.
Under the martial arena, another chaotic discussion erupted, and it was again about the Five Elements Body! This rare physique that appears only once in a thousand years has actually appeared twice, both of which are from the Cat Clan! The Cat Clan is not just a single demon like Xia Xiaoleng, even this Xia Mingchuan is not a simple demon. Everyone wondered if the Cat Clan's patriarch had gone crazy, revealing all his trump cards at once, what was the Cat Clan planning to do?
Xia Yu sat calmly in the judges' seat, as if all the discussions on the scene were irrelevant to him. The profundity of the cat clan, how could other demon clans know?
"Otherwise? If I can trample you once, I can also trample you again under my feet!" Xia Mingchuan was a man of few words but great ambition. Standing on the martial arena, he was not inferior to Duan Chen, who was half a head taller than him, in terms of aura.
Xia Xiaoliang heard Xia Mingchuan's words under the stage, and her olive green eyes looked at Xia Mingchuan with admiration. She applauded and cheered: "Brother Chuan is the best! Duan Chen, hurry up and admit defeat! Be careful that Brother Chuan beats you until your butt hurts and you become a stinky fox!"
One sentence, a stinky fox, the children and elders of the Fox tribe had faces that were uglier than one another, hating to the point where they wanted to tear Xia Xiaoleng into pieces right now, letting her taste what it's like to be worse off than dead. However, they just thought about it, the hundred-year grand competition, can't afford to make any trouble.
"Shut up, you stinky brat! Dead kitten! Adults are talking, where do you get off interrupting?" Duan Chen could still remain calm and composed when speaking to Xia Mingchuan, but upon hearing Xia Xiaoliang's words, he was no longer calm.
Xia Xiaoliang's face was full of anger, but she couldn't bear to hit him. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she even forgot to retort back. Luckily, Xiao Long and Qiao Xin quickly smoothed things over, or else she would have burst out crying loudly.
Xia Mingchuan saw Xia Xiaoleng being bullied, and his heart was burning with anger. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore. His fingers were like blooming lotus flowers, faintly visible, as the Five Elements Technique gradually took shape.
Duan Chen had followed the Fox Tribe's leader for many years, and his experience was not shallow. Seeing Xia Mingchuan's intricate handprint, he knew it wasn't an ordinary spell. Duan Chen's aura gradually rose, and his hands didn't fall behind as they formed a law seal.
Many demons in the arena took a deep breath, Duan Chen's momentum had already made it hard for the crowd of demons to breathe, several clan leaders flew over and stood at the four corners of the martial arts arena, protecting the smaller demons around them, only then did everyone relax.
"This guy's strength is actually beyond the peak of the late Qi Refining stage! It seems that he might be at the Foundation Building stage!" said a foolish-looking pig-headed man.
A beautiful mother rabbit chimed in, "I think so too. Just now, the momentum was so overwhelming that everyone couldn't move. You know, among us, there are many who have reached the peak of their cultivation like me, how can we be suppressed?"
"Hmm, I think this Duan Chen from the Fox tribe is also a talented youngster, he will definitely achieve great things in the future." A young and handsome guy from the Dog tribe looked at Duan Chen on the martial arts arena with admiration, his mouth watering.
"Cut, regardless of his age, compared to those two little brats from the Cat Clan, he's the one who really catches my eye!" A lynx cat gazed at Xia Mingchuan with a somewhat infatuated expression. The lynx cat and the Cat Clan were practically family, but seeing her admiring gaze towards Xia Mingchuan made Xia Xiaoleng feel worried.
On the martial stage, Xia Mingchuan faced pressure that was ten or a hundred times stronger than that of the demonic beasts. Although his internal spiritual energy was being suppressed and was in turmoil, he still calmed his mind and formed hand seals.
Duan Chenxiu was in the initial stage of building his foundation, and his long eyes revealed a charming smile that made many girls in the audience almost faint.
"Xia Mingchuan, you've driven me to this point, it's your capability. Now, I'll let you take a good look and see who the real winner is!" Duan Chen said with an evil smile, in front of him was a beautiful bright red small fox floating, crystal clear and vividly lifelike.
Xia Mingchuan's forehead was covered in sweat, his pale face pitiful. Xia Xiaoleng looked at him like this, her heart as if cut by a knife, and only then did she understand why he had been so worried the day before! At this moment, if it weren't for Yan Wang, Xiao Long, and Qiao Xin holding her back, she would have rushed onto the martial arts stage and stood in front of Xia Mingchuan.
Xia Mingchuan was a snow lotus flower that had just bloomed, shining with colorful light, and the rosy glow complemented his snowy doll-like face, making it even more dazzling.
"What a beautiful snow lotus flower!" Xia Xiao Liang stared blankly at the colorful snow lotus, swaying in the wind, so beautiful it was beyond description.
Xue Lianhua and Huo Hu met in mid-air, Duan Chen held his sword with one hand and supported his chest with the other, full of hope looking up at the sky. While Xia Mingchuan sat on the ground in the martial arts arena, his face pale, as if he would faint at any moment.
Their every move, except for Xia Xiao Liang, no one else was paying attention to, all the monsters lifted their heads to look at the dazzling Snow Lotus and Fire Fox.
Each of their collisions will rub out beautiful sparks, constantly drifting from mid-air. The fire fox runs and jumps in the air, the snow lotus rotates in the air, you chase me, brush across the sky, forming a beautiful starry sky.
How beautiful it would be if this were at night!
In Xia Xiao Liang's eyes and heart, there was only Xia Ming Chuan who had fallen to the ground in the martial arena. She didn't know how he was doing at that moment, because the four clan leaders had set up a screen barrier, she couldn't feel the fluctuations inside the arena, no matter how severe they were.
She only hoped that the gloomy expression could improve, hoping he could stand up and return to her side. However, until the end of the game, he was still in that state. It wasn't until Xiaoliang rushed over to his side that she saw him reveal a smile, before fainting.
He just wanted to take one last look at her.
The snow lotus in the sky has dissipated, leaving only those starry red glows representing Duan Chen's victory. Yes, Xia Mingchuan lost the match because Duan Chen had already reached the foundation-building cultivation.
Night, is always so beautiful, the starry sky, twinkling like eyes that seem to speak. But Xia Xiao Liang didn't have the heart to appreciate it, her eyes fixed on one person, Xia Ming Chuan.
Xia Mingchuan has been brought back for four hours, but he still hasn't shown any signs of waking up. Xia Yu said that he just fainted from exhaustion and was also under the pressure of Duan Chen's powerful aura, so he fell into a coma, but there's no serious harm, letting Xia Xiaoleng feel at ease.
But how can she be at ease? How can she possibly be at ease?
That vicious and venomous dead fox Duan Chen, she wants to pluck out all his hair and roast him to feed the pigs! She doesn't want to eat it herself, afraid of dirtying her mouth!
Xia Xiaoliang held onto Xia Mingchuan's small hand, guarding him by his side, occasionally whispering to him, hoping that he would wake up soon.
