Chapter 1246 - 1246 419 The Flame Flower Has Not Withered
1246: Chapter 419 The Flame Flower Has Not Withered 1246: Chapter 419 The Flame Flower Has Not Withered In the stands belonging to Chuguo.Chu Yuzhi, who came from a military background, let out a long sigh.
Although he too had been defeated by Xiang Bei and had suffered his fair share of contempt and humiliation from this arrogant man,
on this Guanhe Platform, he still hoped that the pride of Chuguo would prevail.
To have the formidable Dou Zhao lose the lead, had already broken the hearts of the Chu people.
To be halted at the top eight of the Inner Court was even more unbearable.
However, in this bout, he could not find any reason to refute.
Xiang Bei was truly outmatched in skill.
An initial disadvantage, the Heavy Pupils being greatly restricted, and the inability to use his strongest Soul Killing Method were key reasons for Xiang Bei’s defeat.
Yet, for Xiang Bei, born with the Double Pupil Phenomenon and known for his dominance with the Soul Killing Method, to be defeated at the Spiritual Soul Level was enough to attest to the terror of his opponent.
The roster of Qi Country this year…
truly frightening!
Sitting next to Chu Yuzhi, Qu Shunhua, who had just come halfway through her own battle to the spectator’s seats, wore an expressionless face.
Since she chose to conceal her skill during the national selection, she didn’t hold much expectation for the outcomes at the Yellow River Gathering.
The only one dragged by Qu Shunhua to watch the event, Zuo Guangshu, was now staring at the Arena, momentarily dumbstruck.
He certainly understood the meaning behind the seemingly inexplicable words Jiang Wang spoke on the stage.
He certainly remembered, after he spoke about Xiang Bei in the Taixu Illusion Realm, what Jiang Wang had said.
He said then—
I’ll teach him a lesson for you later!
It sounded so playful, like teasing a child.
Back then, he had scoffed at the notion…
After defeating him, Xiang Bei had said, “I mourn thrice for Zuo Guanglie’s early demise.
I mourn the decline of the noble Zuo Family, I mourn for the Flame Flower unseen in the Human World,” using it to mock the lack of worthy successors of the Zuo Family, laughing that Zuo Guangshu was so insignificant.
In front of everyone in the world, Jiang Wang pressed the Flame Flower against his face, telling Xiang Bei that the Flame Flower has never withered.
Zuo Guangshu, upon seeing today’s Jiang Wang in the real world, had originally thought that he must mock him if he got the chance.
The undefeated Dugu Wudi of Taixu’s top Inner Mansion, why so vain?
Clinging to appearances, making his image in the Taixu Illusion Realm look so handsome, completely unlike himself.
But at this moment, he only felt…
The likeness in the Taixu Illusion Realm was insignificant after all.
At this moment, the Jiang Wang before him was truly dazzling, to the point of astonishment.
Also, as warming…
as the sun.
“What is it?” Qu Shunhua, noticing the oddness in Zuo Guangshu, asked aloud.
Zuo Guangshu did not shift his gaze, murmuring, “Looks like him, doesn’t it?”
“What looks like?”
Even as the question reflexively left her lips, Qu Shunhua already thought of the answer.
She too gazed at the stage, but said nothing more, simply tightening her grip on Zuo Guangshu’s hand.
The battle of pride between the two great overlords of Qi and Chu had thus concluded with a victor.
Only that figure, Jiang Qingyang, who descended from the clouds, still maintained a steady gaze, and moved with ease.
As if he had never changed, as if nothing could ever change him.
In this moment and setting, such a figure clad in green with a sword, seemed to emanate a ray of light that stretched a thousand miles.
Half-crouching at the edge of the Arena, with her hand propping up her chin and a carefree pose, Yellow Sheri blinked in surprise.
Behind her was the pitiful sight of someone who had both arms and legs broken, three puppets shattered, and two Foreign Beasts slain.
She had originally planned on making quick work of her battle in order to come and laugh at this Jiang Wang of Qi Country.
He wasn’t particularly handsome but dared to steal the limelight from her, Yellow Sheri, dared to snatch the attention of two beautiful women, even had the audacity to provoke her…
simply outrageous!
Of course, the first issue was more severe than the last two.
But…
She blinked her eyes.
Why does he seem, somewhat good-looking now?
Some people have a beautiful appearance, some a beautiful frame, and others a Divine Appearance.
She suddenly recalled, this pride named Jiang Wang, when seated alongside the unrivaled Ji Zhaonan, and the breathtaking Zhongxuan Zun, had never seemed out of place, never overshadowed in their presence.
He had always possessed his own unique charm.
It’s just that she, Miss Yellow, was nailed in place by the gaze of a peerless beauty and neglected it.
Sigh, actually seeking the limelight is understandable.
At the Yellow River Gathering, who doesn’t want to show off saintliness in front of others?
As for provocation…
we are all young, it’s inevitable to have some fire.
Misunderstandings can be cleared up with discussion, why quibble over every detail?
Cough.
She was just about to stand up.
When suddenly she heard a loud shout—
“Jiang Qingyang!!!”
This shout was so high-pitched, it could even be described as heartbreaking.
The atmosphere was completely gone…
Yellow Sheri turned her head in anger, just in time to see a man with an extraordinarily high forehead from the Qi Country’s spectator stand, his face red as he pumped his arm and continuously yelled: “Jiang Qingyang!
Jiang Qingyang!
Jiang Qingyang!”
What, just because you’ve never won?!
Regarding Yellow Sheri’s fierce gaze…
Xu Gaoe didn’t see it at all.
In the entire World Stage, there were too many people watching him at the moment.
He, as one of Gan Ma Mountain’s Two Pride, how could he possibly attend to every single person’s gaze?
A treasured sword is bound to be chased by all; when a strange flower blooms, the whole garden is spring!
And so he simply clasped his hands in greeting to everyone: “I am Xu Xiangqian of Ganma Mountain’s Two Pride, I bid you all a good day!”
Many people from other countries had frowns of confusion on their foreheads.
You think we are here to greet you?
Those with quick tempers rolled up their sleeves, ready to stand up.
Then they saw the high-foreheaded man smilingly say: “The so-called Ganma Mountain’s Two Pride refers to Jiang Qingyang and me, Xu Xiangqian.
My brother Qingyang showed a little bit of his capability, it’s just a modest display, please excuse us.”
Many people fell silent then.
Chu Tianjiao Xiang Bei had famously defeated Yue Country’s pride Bai Yuxia with three punches and was able to force his way into the Inner Mansion Realm’s Tongtian Palace.
Such a top contender had lost to Jiang Wang cleanly and thoroughly.
From the Spiritual Soul Level to the physical battle, he was utterly defeated.
This fellow, being on par with Jiang Qingyang, must not be weak either…
In the entire World Stage, those of the highest status wouldn’t fuss over the young generation’s boisterous shouts.
Those who could easily teach Xu Xiangqian a lesson, also generally wanted to give face to the Great Scholar Mo Ya.
The younger generation who didn’t know the background of Xu Xiangqian also couldn’t help but feel wary because of Jiang Wang.
Thus, after Xu Xiangqian’s round of greetings, there were even a few who smiled back.
Most people simply withdrew their gazes, treating it like a sparrow’s chirp.
However, Jiang Wang on the Arena was a bit surprised.
Who wants to be associated with you?
I remember skipping over that with a laugh, didn’t I?
Even if we must be associated, there’s no need to include “Gan Ma Mountain”!
That’s a graveyard hill, brother Gaoe, it’s not auspicious!
But having won a spot in the final four and under the spotlight of thousands, he couldn’t very well focus on clarifying this alone.
He had to maintain a smile and pretend he hadn’t heard anything.
A face of “I’m not informed”, “Not me”, “Nothing happened”.
After Xu Xiangqian finished his round of greetings and sat back down, he found that within three yards all around him, not a single person was left.
People like Li Longchuan and Zhongxuan Sheng were either looking at the sky or at the ground.
Yan Fu was turning his head to the other side, whispering something to Wen Tinglan.
Flirting is so annoying.
That’s Yan “big brother” for you; anyone else behaving like this, Xu Xiangqian would have wanted to make a fuss.
Then he looked back at Instructor Zhao…
Instructor Zhao had also taken Miss Zi Shu far away.
Xu Xiangqian shook his head and sighed; these friends of his, their mental fortitude was too poor.
“Let me bear this attention alone.”
He muttered this to himself, sitting up even straighter, and lifting his head even higher.
Of course, his forehead also shone all the more brightly.
