Chapter 252: I Came to Fight You

Zuo Xinghe glanced at Song Shan beside him, then slowly said, "Brother Song, among us three you're the strongest; to deal with these two lowly wretches, let me and Miss Wang go up first, how about that?"

Zuo Xinghe appeared humble and deferential on the surface, but actually had other plans.

After all, there are many wolves but little meat.

Qingyun Sect has only these two disciples, while they have three.

If he chooses to watch, not going onto the stage to kill Li Yilan or Ye Xiaoji,

then the credit would probably belong to Wang Shuang and Song Shan.

So, by volunteering, he aims to kill either Li Yilan or Ye Xiaoji and show his best side to the Five Great Sects.

By then, he could also happily join one of the Five Great Sects.

He has his own little schemes.

Wang Shuang is the same.

Song Shan watched the volunteering Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe with interest, naturally understanding what they had in mind.

But…

His gaze swept over Li Yilan and Ye Xiaoji again.

It's obvious that the two have equal strength and talent, not inferior to them.

These two want to eat alone, but they'll probably end up with a mouthful of hair.

Better to let these two idiots wear them down first.

Then he can sit back and reap the fisherman's gain.

Song Shan, looking hesitant, said, "Let the two of you go up and fight first—wouldn't that be better?"

Hearing that, the two immediately grew anxious.

Zuo Xinghe hurriedly said, "Brother Song, why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"

"To deal with these two lowly wretches, why must you act?"

"Moreover, you have the deep favor of Sect Master Li Tianyuan; joining the Heaven Sword Sect is a settled fact."

"Miss Wang and I still have undecided futures; let us have this chance to perform."

Wang Shuang also nodded and said, "Yeah, Brother Song, you won't stick your nose into everything, will you?"

Song Shan's expression unchanged, he slowly said, "The words are correct, and the principle should be as well."

"But regarding the duel, we were entrusted by Sect Master Li Tianyuan, Sect Master Chu Xiong, and Great Elder Yang Cheng; if I don't go up first, I fear they'll be displeased."

"Ah… forget it, never mind."

"After all, we're good friends; since you two said that, how could I, as the elder brother, not reason?"

Upon hearing this, they both gave a cold smile inside.

Their looks at Song Shan grew somewhat contemptuous, after all, in their eyes he was merely a clueless fool who didn't even know he was being taken advantage of.

"Then thank you, Brother Song, for indulging us."

Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe gave a slight bow.

Song Shan, unhurried, interrupted them: "It's fine, but today I'm doing you a favor, so you'll owe me one."

"You'll repay it someday."

Song Shan naturally saw through their little thoughts.

However, gaining a favor from Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe through this opportunity was a profit for him.

And when Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe heard this, their vision went dark.

So, this bastard's been waiting here.

But things have come to this.

For now, the only thing is to go up on stage, kill Li Yilan and Ye Xiaoji, then talk.

"Fine."

The two responded indifferently.

Song Shan nodded slightly, then turned to the host of the Qingzhou Grand Competition and said slowly, "Host, since no one is stepping up to challenge, my two good friends, Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe, are willing to go up and challenge."

After saying that.

Song Shan then chuckled, looking at Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe, and said, "Brother Zuo, Miss Wang, hurry up and go on stage."

Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe had grim faces.

Is it your turn to speak?

"We're going to challenge those two lowly wretches; we'll speak for ourselves—why do you need to butt in?"

"Now the pretentious act is yours; we're just your lackeys."

But the two still glanced at each other.

Zuo Xinghe analyzed.

"Miss Wang, your Three Mountains Five Peaks Fist is a close‑combat skill; you'll take on Li Yilan."

"And my Holy River Power can perfectly nullify Ye Xiaoji's invisibility."

Wang Shuang nodded.

Immediately, she leapt into the air, and in the void a series of small mountains appeared, forming a stairway.

Wang Shuang thus stepped on those mountains, climbing step by step toward the platform.

Just then.

Some of the onlookers also saw Wang Shuang's actions.

"Good heavens, what is she doing?"

"You blind fool, didn't you see Wang Shuang treading the mountains?"

Stepping on the mountain and walking?

Wait...

Wang Shuang?

You mean that Wang Shuang of the Fist Sect?

Hey, finally I got to see with my own eyes.

That's right, it's that Wang Shuang, the Immortal Maiden who gathers beauty and invincibility.

Goodness, Wang Shuang is, how to say, the most renowned genius disciple of Qingzhou; I didn't expect her to act so early.

Her opponent seems to be Li Yilan; it looks like Li Yilan won't live long.

The crowd said one thing after another.

In their view, Li Yilan is absolutely no match for Wang Shuang, and very likely will die.

Having received the crowd's praise, Wang Shuang curled her mouth into an arc; just now being shown off by Song Shan's pretentiousness, finally she got her own pretentiousness back.

Seeing Wang Shuang appear and receive the crowd's admiration.

Beside, Zuo Xinghe also felt itchy.

He immediately waved his hand, and a winding big river suddenly appeared.

At the moment the big river appeared, the spiritual power on site seemed to instantly increase hundreds of times, making people feel as if bathing in a spiritual sea.

This is more like a spiritual river.

And this sudden change naturally startled everyone.

The crowd all looked toward that big river.

Discussions abounded.

Heavens, what is that again?

Yeah, a big river actually sprang up from the ground, and moreover it stood suspended in the air.

It's truly fantastical.

Just as the crowd was discussing...

The majestic Zuo Xinghe stepped into the air, and immediately he descended onto that big river.

A five-colored divine fish pulled Zuo Xinghe as he drove toward Ye Xiaojie's arena.

And upon seeing this scene, the crowd stammered.

Zu..., Zu...

Is he Zuo Xinghe of the Great River Sect?

Besides him, who else could it be?

Heavens, too overbearing, actually riding the river and driving the fish away, truly unmatched.

He is the Holy Son of the Great River Sect, born from the Great River Sect's Holy River nurtured; from birth, his body contained the Holy River's spiritual aura of the Great River Sect.

At three years old, he could already communicate with the Great River Sect's Holy River; now he is eighteen, riding the river and driving the fish, what's there to be shocked about?

With his ability, perhaps he has long been able to control the Holy River's waters, overturn rivers and seas, boundless power.

The Holy River of the Great River Sect, everyone has heard of it.

Extremely strong.

But why are they all appearing so early?

Could it be that they are targeting Li Yilan and Ye Xiaojie?

The crowd had suspicions.

After all, as participants aiming to become stronger, they should have appeared last, but unexpectedly they appeared this early.

After all, as the two participants striving to become stronger, they ought to have made their appearance as the finale, but they never imagined they would actually show up this early.

Wang Shuang and Zuo Xinghe each ascended their own arena.

The two's gazes simultaneously fixed on Li Yilan and Ye Xiaojie, then they spoke in unison.

Li Yilan, I'll fight you.

Ye Xiaojie, I'll fight you.

"Ye Xiaozhi, I'll come and fight you."
