C217 First Battle
C217 First Battle
Of course, there were also some who had heard of Han Feng's name, but they had never seen him in person. When they saw him now, they quickly guessed his identity.
He was the future son-in-law of Lin family, Han Feng.
"This kid can really fight Expert of Earth Energy Stage warriors?" Everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled. Although they knew that Han Feng's combat strength was extraordinary, they had never seen him with their own eyes, so they couldn't completely believe it.
Did that harmless young man really have such a terrifying energy in his body?
"Everyone has come very early this year." Chen Sheng's eyes swept across the crowd. He paused for a moment on Han Feng's body, but quickly returned to normal.
"After waiting for so long, the ownership of the mine is finally going to change. We are naturally anxious." Lin Nantian said with a smile.
A sharp look flashed across Chen Sheng's eyes. "Isn't it too early to change it now? I'm afraid that some family won't even be able to send out a decent martial artist."
"That's still better than some sect assassinating a junior disciple." Lin Nantian's momentum wasn't the slightest bit weak. He had vaguely guessed what had happened yesterday. After that, the news spread that Elder Wang of the Mystic Sword Sect had been killed. He understood what the Mystic Sword Sect had done to Han Feng.
However, the Mystic Sword Sect didn't expect that even an Expert of Earth Energy Stage wouldn't be able to do anything to Han Feng. Instead, dozens of lives were lost.
Everyone's eyes narrowed, and they sighed with emotion in their hearts. Although the three major powers seemed to be in harmony with each other, they were constantly fighting each other in secret. Now, before the battle for the ore mine had even begun, they were already starting to feel unhappy.
"The people of the Mystic Sword Sect secretly ridiculed the Lin family for being incompetent, but they didn't point it out. They only talked about a certain family, but Lin Nantian was much more direct. To be frank, out of the three major powers here, only the Mystic Sword Sect was a sect. It seemed like the conflict between the Lin family and the Mystic Sword Sect was very deep. I wonder what the Fuh family's attitude toward this matter is?"
Everyone was guessing in their hearts. Although they were not fated to fight for the ore vein, they all had their own forces that were close to them. For the sake of their own interests, they were worried about it.
If the Fuh family were to side with one of them, then to the remaining major powers... It would definitely be a disaster for them. Of course, it would be very difficult to break the rule of three major powers. It was said that several hundred years ago, the Wulin City was a place where heroes rose together. Later on, they kept annexing each other, forming a situation where the three major powers coexisted. And this situation lasted for over a hundred years.
It could be seen that the three major powers were restraining each other. Unless it was necessary or they had an absolute advantage, they would not easily break this situation.
This time, the ore mine battle was going to be turbulent. It was unknown whether it would break this situation and cause the situation in Wulin City to change.
Everyone was looking forward to this ore mine battle even more.
Lin Nantian and Chen Sheng were still arguing with each other. After a while, Patriarch Fuh said, "Since everyone is here, let's begin the ore mine battle."
"I have no objections. What about the rules?" Lin Nantian asked.
"The rules are the same as last time, there's nothing to change." Chen Sheng said slowly, "Three rounds. Each round, we will send one person each. Losers are not allowed to continue participating. The winner can stay on the stage. You can also withdraw. In short, it all depended on which force the last person on the stage belonged to. In the next three years, the mine will belong to which faction."
Lin Nantian and Patriarch Fuh nodded slightly. This rule had been used for many years. There was no need to change it.
"Alright, the three of us will be the judges of this ore mine competition. Now, let's invite our contestants." As Chen Sheng spoke, a young Sword Cultivator from the Mystic Sword Sect stepped out. He was a Peak of Minor Genuine Martial Stage, and his body was filled with a terrifying sword might. He was quite famous, and his name was Duan Chen.
Behind Patriarch Fuh, a figure also walked out slowly. He was a Peak of Minor Genuine Martial Stage warrior, and his name was Fuh Tianyun. He was also a young genius that everyone was familiar with.
"Patriarch, let me do it." In the Lin family's camp, Lin Yuan was asking Lin Nantian for a fight. Lin Nantian thought for a moment. He glanced at the people sent by the Chen family and Mystic Sword Sect and nodded. "Alright, you will fight. Don't bring shame to your family."
"Don't worry, Patriarch!" Lin Yuan said as he calmly stepped forward. His face was brimming with confidence. However, Han Feng kept feeling that something was wrong. Lin Yuan seemed to have changed.
The three of them stood on the fighting stage and stood on three different sides. Strands of combat intent began to rise. Everyone's heart gradually became tense. Who would win the first battle?
The first battle was undoubtedly very important to the three major powers. However, the three factions would not send their strongest people to waste their strength from the very beginning. After all, the rules of the battle were to see who would stay until the end. Even if they lost the first two battles, as long as it was the third battle... They would send out the strongest person to crush the god 's favored of the other two sides in one go. It will be the final victory.
"The god 's favored sent by the three sides aren't weak. Duan Chen's sword technique is superb. There should be very few opponents amongst Minor Genuine Martial Stage warriors. That Fuh Tianyun cultivates a domineering palm technique, and he's also very strong. But in my opinion, Lin Yuan's chances of winning should be higher. After all, he was once a figure on par with Fuh Kun and Jian Wulei." Some people agreed with the analysis. Indeed, judging from the reputation of these three men, Lin Yuan seemed to be stronger than him.
In the eyes of the people of Lin family, Lin Yuan had the biggest chance of winning. Not everyone in the younger generation of Minor Genuine Martial Stage from the Fuh family and Mystic Sword Sect was as abnormal as Han Feng. It would be very difficult for them to defeat Lin Yuan.
"I never thought that Brother Lin Yuan would be so open-minded. This has really impressed me." Lin Shuang smiled at Han Feng. Although Han Feng had some doubts in his heart, he didn't say it out loud. Instead, he said in a soft voice, "I hope he can win."
Many people from the Lin family also admired Lin Yuan's magnanimity. After all, although the first battle was important, it was also to pave the way for the god 's favored. Lin Yuan was able to take the initiative to accept the challenge and act as the vanguard for Han Feng. Such magnanimity... Not everyone has it.
"Let's begin." Chen Sheng's expression flickered. The Mystic Sword Sect was the winner of the last year's competition, and he would be the one in charge this time.
Three silhouettes lunged forward at the same time. Duan Chen's sword intent was overflowing. He had comprehended the intent of the Level Three Sword Dao, and his sword technique was superb. Waves of terrifying sword energy slashed out, as if it was going to tear the fighting stage apart.
Fuh Tianyun didn't lose to Duan Chen either. His palm trembled, and numerous palm prints were unleashed. It was as if a mountain was crashing down, and it swept across everything, as if it was going to drag both of his opponents into the palm prints.
Among the three of them, Lin Yuan seemed to be the most relaxed, as if he was taking a stroll in the park. He slowly walked forward, waving his palm and crushing the ancient trees one after another. Fuh Tianyun's palm prints couldn't do anything to his ancient trees, and they were all shattered into pieces.
"He really is a top-notch god 's favored figure."
When everyone saw this scene, they couldn't help but praise Lin Yuan in their hearts. As expected, he was very powerful. He was able to put Fuh Tianyun at a disadvantage with just a casual attack. It was a pity that he couldn't break through to the Earth Energy Stage. Otherwise, only young men like Jian Wulei and Fuh Kun could compete with him.
Fuh Tianyun and Duan Chen were still lacking if they wanted to fight Lin Yuan.
"Is that Han Feng really stronger than Lin Yuan?" The doubts in everyone's hearts were even heavier. Lin Yuan had yet to break through to the Earth Energy Stage. However, it wasn't wrong to say that he had already stepped into it. Han Feng, a Genuine Martial Stage Level Two, could he really defeat Lin Yuan and become the young master of Lin family? Was there something fishy about this?
"Watch me kill you!" Fuh Tianyun was obviously unwilling to see his palm print destroyed. His palm trembled once again. A terrifying Ancient Slaughter Seal was condensed. It was a spirit rank martial skill. When he unleashed it, his entire body seemed to be surrounded by the Ancient Seal. The terrifying ancient imprints howled madly, bringing with them a vast flood of destruction.
Lin Yuan raised his hand and the ancient trees clashed with Duan Chen's sword Qi. It was as if they were constantly being cut apart and turned into powder. Seeing Fuh Tianyun's Ancient Seal surging towards him, his expression became slightly serious. His palm pressed forward, and a huge palm print appeared above the Ancient Seal. It covered the torrent of ancient seals.
"Get the hell out of here first." Lin Yuan said in a frivolous manner. Everyone could only see the palm print pulverizing Fuh Tianyun's attack. * Hong Long...... * After that, Lin Yuan's figure flickered and appeared in front of Fuh Tianyun. A palm struck down, as if it was going to pierce through Fuh Tianyun's body.
Bang!
A palm print landed heavily on Fuh Tianyun's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying out of the fighting stage and fell to the ground. The people from the Fuh family helped him up and brought him back to treat his injuries.
Patriarch Fuh's expression was calm, but he didn't say anything, as if he didn't care at all.
"Good job, Brother Lin Yuan!"
"Brother Lin Yuan is so handsome, he has brought glory to our Lin family!"
"One more palm strike, beat down that trash from the Mystic Sword Sect!"
The people of the Lin family revealed joyful expressions. As expected, just as they had expected, Lin Yuan could easily defeat the god 's favored of the other major powers.
"Lin Yuan is indeed a talented man." Lin Nantian's eyes lit up. He had always thought highly of Lin Yuan, but unfortunately, he wasn't able to enter the same realm as Jian Wulei, which made him slightly weaker.
The people of Lin family had high hopes for Lin Yuan. They hoped that he could condense another palm strike and knock Duan Chen off the fighting stage.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Lin Yuan easily knocked Fuh Tianyun off the fighting stage. It was as if he was restricted in the face of Duan Chen. Both of them had fought for dozens of rounds, but there was still no winner.
"He really has some skill." Duan Chen said as he fought.
"Not only that." Lin Yuan said.
"Unfortunately, even if you are stronger, you will still lose." Duan Chen sneered, causing Lin Yuan's expression to darken. As if he had thought of something, his attack speed weakened. Indeed, even if he was stronger, he wouldn't be able to win.
This was something that made people feel aggrieved. At this moment, it had descended upon him.
Lin Yuan was unwilling to accept this, but there was nothing he could do.
After that, everyone saw strands of sword Qi crazily attacking Lin Yuan. The ancient trees around Lin Yuan were all shattered, and the sword Qi was so powerful that it pierced through his body. He fell out of the fighting stage, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he fell to the ground.
"How is this possible?!" Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Lin Yuan was actually inferior to Duan Chen?
