Chapter 2269 - 2272: Final Battle with Li Tianxuan! (2 Updates)

So that's how it is.

Qin Tian looked at Wang Tianqing, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright then, this time, Master, I'll win back your face for you."

Once he understood the whole story, Qin Tian didn't say anything more. Following Wang Tianqing's suggestion, he went into seclusion in Wang Tianqing's small Blessed Land for two days—on one hand accepting Wang Tianqing's guidance in cultivation, on the other swallowing some of Wang Tianqing's treasured Elixirs, which instantly relaxed his entire body and brought his Dan Tian Qi Sea into its optimal battle-ready state.

He could even feel that he was on the verge of breaking through, advancing to Ascension Stage High Stage.

The day of the Spring Martial Arts Competition finals.

On this day, the Sect Leader was out and did not appear, but the Four Eldest Young Masters and Law Enforcement Elder Zhang Xiaolin did show up.

This was the annual grand event. Other than Elders and Disciples who were away or in seclusion, almost everyone had come.

At this moment, in the Martial Arts Arena, all the small Blessed Lands atop the Martial Arts Arenas had been removed, replaced by a single enormous Martial Arts Arena in the center of the Martial Arts Arena grounds. Upon it sat a transparent Blessed Land with all-round, no-dead-angle view that anyone could watch from any direction, especially eye-catching.

Of course, the most eye-catching right now were naturally the two combatants, Qin Tian and Li Tianxuan.

The moment the two appeared, they both drew a huge crowd of fans.

On Qin Tian's side were all the Disciples who supported the rise of a dark horse, the weak defeating the strong.

On Li Tianxuan's side were many Disciples who wanted to cement the lofty status and dignity of Inner Sect Disciples.

Without a doubt, Li Tianxuan's supporters were far more numerous.

"This year's Spring Martial Arts Competition has been very good, very successful. Many Outer Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples who made people's eyes light up have emerged…"

At this moment, Zhang Xiaolin was giving the opening speech before the finals, and everyone was concentrating and listening intently.

"Mm, Disciples with talent have shown their talent, very good; Disciples whose strength we thought was ordinary have also displayed eye-opening power—hehe, truly a pleasant surprise…"

Zhang Xiaolin continued speaking, but his gaze had already fallen on Qin Tian, as he said, "Speaking of the most surprising Disciple, it would naturally be today's finalist, Elder Wang Tianqing's top student, Qin Tian."

As soon as Zhang Xiaolin mentioned Qin Tian, waves of exclamations and shrill screams rose from the stands.

"Of course, Mo Ziyang's top student, Li Tianxuan, lived up to expectations and easily entered the finals."

When he mentioned Li Tianxuan, the sound from the stands instantly exploded, deafening.

"So, today, the clash between Qin Tian and Li Tianxuan is destined to be an incomparably spectacular Spring Martial Arts Competition final."

"The fact that you've both made it to the finals already means you're key-training Disciples of our Xuanyuan Immortal Sect. So before the match, I must remind you two: in the finals, you are forbidden to use Hidden Weapons, forbidden to use poison, forbidden to take lives or cripple anyone's Martial Arts. Otherwise, even if you win, I, Zhang Xiaolin, will be the first to refuse to recognize it!"

In previous Spring Martial Arts Competition finals, because some people wanted victory too badly, there had been cases of vicious strikes and the use of Hidden Weapons, causing mutual destruction or even someone dying on the spot.

So for the past dozen years, Zhang Xiaolin had brought up this rule at every final.

"Did you hear me clearly?"

After speaking, Zhang Xiaolin stared at Qin Tian and Li Tianxuan. Seeing the two of them nod simultaneously, he finally said, "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Once you enter the Blessed Land, the finals will begin."

With that, Zhang Xiaolin sat back down in his seat on the Elders' row.

At this moment, the surroundings quieted down. Qin Tian and Li Tianxuan looked at each other.

One look was all it took to know: this was the one you were meant to fight.

The two of them practically moved at the same time, turning into twin streaks of flowing light as they shot into the Blessed Land atop the Martial Arts Arena.

"Qin Tian, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

As he landed, a burst of Gang Wind rose around Li Tianxuan, and immediately afterward, a massive pressure of True Qi might crashed straight toward Qin Tian, who had just landed!

"Didn't expect to meet me in the finals, did you?"

Qin Tian also unleashed his True Qi pressure, colliding head-on with Li Tianxuan's True Qi. The two streams of True Qi formed a gigantic True Qi Vortex, as if some inexplicable Kuang Feng were howling down from the sky.

On the ground of the Blessed Land, just the True Qi pressure from the two of them alone was enough to rip trees up by the roots for five miles around, sending them whirling wildly through the air!

"I really didn't expect you to have this kind of strength." Li Tianxuan locked his gaze on Qin Tian and said, "But no matter how high you can fly, today it all ends. You're going to lose!"

Qin Tian let out a cold laugh. "I know you lot have racked your brains trying to deal with me. Hmph, Mo Ziyang, as Great Elder, actually resorted to a cheap trick like using another's blade to kill me. Doesn't that just prove that your Master has no confidence in you beating me?"

Hearing this, Li Tianxuan's cheek twitched. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. Brat, you're really arrogant! Don't think that just because you went and took Elder Wang as your Master you have the right to act wild in front of me. You clearly haven't figured out the rules of the Xuanyuan Immortal Sect yet. Today, I'll teach you how to behave!"

"The one who should be teaching you how to behave is me!" Qin Tian shot back without the slightest politeness. He and Li Tianxuan almost simultaneously condensed Fist Light around their fists, ready to strike at any moment.

He said, "Others call you Senior Brother, and you actually dare respond? Don't forget, the Great Elder's Disciple is the real Senior Brother. You're just guilty conscience wrapped in borrowed authority, that's all."

"We'll see who the Senior Brother is after today! The weak have no right to be called Senior Brother!"

Whoosh!

At last, the fiery red Fist Light condensed around Li Tianxuan's right fist, and with his roar, it crashed straight toward Qin Tian!

The fiery red True Qi set the boulders on the ground rolling as it passed!

Like a flaming meteor slamming into Earth, that Fist Light surged toward Qin Tian in a majestic strike!

For this punch, Qin Tian chose to let him attack. He kept retreating, and at the same time, the Fist Light condensed around his right fist did not dissipate, ready to counterattack at any moment.

Boom boom boom!

Just as Qin Tian was retreating, he hadn't expected this guy Li Tianxuan to be that formidable. Seizing the momentum, he tried to pin Qin Tian down right from the start, instantly unleashing three more blasts of True Qi Fist Light!

Finally, Qin Tian struck back as well!

His Fist Light fired off in a chain of three; the power of his right fist directly met Li Tianxuan's three True Qi Fist Lights head-on!

The immense impact power made the True Qi erupt in explosions skimming the surface of the ground, blasting out a three-meter-deep crater in the earth!

"Heh heh, so your cultivation is actually at Ascension Stage Middle Stage!"

With a cold laugh, Li Tianxuan landed and stared at Qin Tian, saying with disdain, "I thought you were at least Ascension Stage High Stage. Didn't expect you to be some Ascension Stage Middle Stage rookie. I really don't know how you managed to clear round after round to get into the finals!"

Now that he had figured out Qin Tian's cultivation, Li Tianxuan's confidence in victory doubled on the spot. He chuckled, "I'm Ascension Stage Peak, two realms above you. What are you going to use to beat me?"
