Chapter 114: Don’t Let My Face Hit The Ground First!
Fei Changxiu: “……”
Although Cheng Zhaoyang is very powerful, there’s no need to be such a lackey.
Looking at Fei Changxiu’s speechless expression, Ming Zhaoshuang glanced at him and said, “You’re still handsome? You can’t even win when three of you attack one, you useless waste.”
Ming Chenxing: “……”
Qin Feilong: “……”
I’m just saying, you can scold Fei Changxiu, but there’s no need to scold the two of them as well.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhaoyang chuckled, “I am several years older than them. For your brother to break through to Nascent Soul at such an age is truly remarkable.”
In the lower cultivation world, being able to break through to Late Golden Core at twenty years old is already extremely rare, let alone Fei Changxiu breaking through to Nascent Soul at twenty.
Cheng Zhaoyang is currently nineteen years old, at Mid Nascent Soul, making her a genius among geniuses.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyes flickered, and she said to Cheng Zhaoyang, “Then how about I join in, and we have another match, Sister Zhaoyang?”
To be honest, she also wanted to know how far Cheng Zhaoyang’s strength had reached.
Cheng Zhaoyang lowered her eyes and glanced at Ming Zhaoshuang, not refusing, but instead smiling and asking back:
“If your injuries are not an issue, you may try.”
When she found the four people, Ming Zhaoshuang was the most severely injured. Even the military doctor said she wouldn’t survive, yet in just three days, this person was alive and well and standing before her again.
Fei Changxiu leaned on Ming Zhaoshuang’s shoulder and said with a grin, “Hey, our junior sister has strong self-healing abilities, there’s no need to worry at all.”
Having spent these past few months with Ming Zhaoshuang, Fei Changxiu had come to understand Ming Zhaoshuang’s self-healing abilities.
They were simply the best of the best!
Fei Changxiu even suspected that unless directly pierced through the chest with a sword, Ming Zhaoshuang was practically immortal!
Since that was the case, Cheng Zhaoyang no longer hesitated and nodded:
“Since that’s the case, please, everyone.”
System muttered, “Host, why are you so willingly fighting with the female supporting character? If there are any unseen dangers, it could ruin your relationship with Cheng Zhaoyang, and our side quest would be over.”
“She’s not a supporting character, she’s Cheng Zhaoyang.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said calmly, “For someone like Cheng Zhaoyang, only by defeating her, by subduing her, can one truly catch her eye. As a member of the Cheng Clan, she is noble and wealthy, with exceptional talent, and is highly admired. Ordinary flattery will not win her heart; only by defeating her can you truly connect with her.”
Whether it’s a few people defeating her or not is secondary; the point is to make her lose.
In the original story, Qin Feilong caught Cheng Zhaoyang’s attention because he voluntarily participated in the Demon Quelling Pass battle and played a crucial role. The original story also states that Qin Feilong won Cheng Zhaoyang’s heart because she was defeated by him in the Grand Competition of Heavenly Prodigies in the lower cultivation world.
It can be said that to awaken Cheng Zhaoyang, there is only one path: to be stronger than her, and stronger than Qin Feilong.
To be honest, Ming Zhaoshuang felt that Cheng Zhaoyang was different from Shen Liqian. She didn’t seem to be controlled by the plot at all now. Her personality mutated at the moment Qin Feilong defeated her.
Her Sword Heart shattered.
Therefore, Ming Zhaoshuang decided to treat Cheng Zhaoyang’s fragile heart first!
No sooner said than done!
Ming Zhaoshuang and the other three each took a position, surrounding Cheng Zhaoyang.
Ming Zhaoshuang shouted, “Chenxing, Senior Brother Xiu’er, you go first!”
The two had long since developed a tacit understanding. They surrounded Cheng Zhaoyang from the left and right, and two streams of sword qi, one green and one golden, lunged towards Cheng Zhaoyang.
Cheng Zhaoyang stepped back several paces, her sword breaking through the air. Not only did it shatter their sword qi, but it also counter-attacked them.
The Mid Nascent Soul Golden Element Spiritual Power swept past Ming Chenxing’s side, and he was secretly startled, involuntarily feeling a sense of fear.
Innate Gold Spirit Root, at its extreme.
After repelling Fei Changxiu and Ming Chenxing, Cheng Zhaoyang did not relax at all. Her eyes flickered, and the long sword in her hand collided with Fushuang behind her, making a ringing sound.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s hand trembled, and she was repelled several steps by the spiritual power contained within the long sword.
Before Cheng Zhaoyang finished her move, Fei Changxiu, with the speed of the wind, arrived before Cheng Zhaoyang and raised his hand to strike with his sword.
Cheng Zhaoyang moved her body, her fingers tracing down Fei Changxiu’s arm, tightly gripping it, and then flung him backward, slamming him to the ground.
Fei Changxiu: “Don’t make my face hit the ground first!”
Cheng Zhaoyang replied, “My apologies, Brother Fei, I’ll be more careful next time!”
Meanwhile, Ming Chenxing, with his unpredictable sword technique, had already arrived beside Cheng Zhaoyang, and golden sword qi attacked again.
Cheng Zhaoyang drew her long sword horizontally, blocking his sword move. She then moved her body, leaving Fushuang’s attack range, and directed Fushuang’s sword qi towards Ming Chenxing.
Ming Chenxing raised his sword to block the icy energy, only to see Cheng Zhaoyang had already arrived beside Ming Zhaoshuang, her long arm encircling Ming Zhaoshuang’s chest, on the verge of subduing her.
However, Ming Zhaoshuang gripped Cheng Zhaoyang’s arm, not resisting, but instead sliding along her arm.
“Explosion Talisman, break for me!”
Ming Zhaoshuang shouted softly, and an explosion immediately erupted around her and Cheng Zhaoyang.
Ming Chenxing cried out, “Eldest Young Lady!”
Although this Explosion Talisman was powerful, using it at such close range meant Ming Zhaoshuang would not suffer less damage than Cheng Zhaoyang. She didn’t need to do this for a mere match!
After the smoke cleared, Ming Zhaoshuang and Cheng Zhaoyang stood one behind the other. The former had blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, her chest unharmed, while the latter’s arm was covered in black blood, her clothes tattered.
Ming Zhaoshuang naturally knew the drawbacks of the Explosion Talisman, but let’s not forget that Qingyin is a Heavenly Grade Mid-Rank Spirit Tool!
Exchanging blood with Cheng Zhaoyang was not a loss for her at all!
Cheng Zhaoyang looked at her own bloody and mangled arm, then seriously faced Ming Zhaoshuang and the others, praising, “Impressive.”
Ming Zhaoshuang tilted her head up, “You’re welcome!”
Before the two could finish speaking, Fei Changxiu had gathered his Wind Element Spiritual Power, and a spiraling tornado surged towards Cheng Zhaoyang.
Cheng Zhaoyang moved her arm and broke Fei Changxiu’s spell with a single sword strike. She once again moved in front of Ming Zhaoshuang, intending to capture her first. Ming Chenxing also wouldn’t fall behind, pinning her position so Ming Zhaoshuang could unleash her full potential.
The four fought back and forth, evenly matched, engaging in a thrilling battle.
Suddenly, Cheng Zhaoyang’s beautiful eyes moved, and she thrust her long sword fiercely into the ground. The massive Golden Element Spiritual Power shattered the entire high platform, and the land cracked inch by inch.
And with it, the formation that Qin Feilong had painstakingly laid out was also shattered.
Cheng Zhaoyang raised her eyebrows and chuckled, “Brother Qin, ambushing from behind is not very gentlemanly.”
The four looked at each other and gave wry smiles.
Cheng Zhaoyang was too strong. Not only could she fight three opponents, but she also had the free time to observe Qin Feilong’s actions and easily break his formation with brute force alone.
Seeing her say this, Qin Feilong no longer hesitated and joined the battlefield with his sword.
With one more person, Cheng Zhaoyang was obviously more strained, but she still fought back and forth with the four, not at a disadvantage.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of moves passed. The figures of the four changed unpredictably, and Cheng Zhaoyang’s expression grew increasingly grim.
It wasn’t because she couldn’t defeat the four, but because…
“Formation complete!”
Ming Zhaoshuang shouted loudly. The formation’s spiritual light, representing the Ice Element and Golden Element Spiritual Power, surged, and instantly Cheng Zhaoyang’s hands and feet were restrained, trapped within it.
Qin Feilong, Fei Changxiu, and Ming Chenxing simultaneously unleashed their swords, striking directly at Cheng Zhaoyang.
A look of surprise flashed in Cheng Zhaoyang’s eyes.
But then she chuckled and uttered two words.
“Sword Come!”
Sword Come! Without her needing to move, her long sword automatically appeared before her, blocking the sword qi of the three.
The Spirit Sword shattered inch by inch, while the sword qi of the three was continuously worn down. When it struck Cheng Zhaoyang, although still unstoppable, it did not completely subdue her.
Blood seeped from her mouth. Cheng Zhaoyang, at the cost of her shattered sword, broke through the formation that Ming Zhaoshuang and Qin Feilong had jointly drawn.
She wiped a mouthful of blood and looked at the three with depleted spiritual power, laughing, “The three of you are still not enough.”
“Then what about me?”
Cheng Zhaoyang suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes, tinged with dark gold, trembled slightly as she saw Ming Zhaoshuang, holding Fushuang, charging towards her with a sword in an ice-sealing stance!
“One Sword Frost Cold!”
