Chapter 196: What is Going On with this Tai Xuan Sect?

It was evident on the faces of the high-ranking members of the Wind King Hall — a hint of unease. They knew their own situation well. Even the Proud Sword Sect was easily crushed, so what chance did their disciples have?

“A nemesis of the great sects!”

One of the high-ranking members snorted coldly and then closed his eyes, seemingly prepared for elimination.

As a top-tier great sect, it was unthinkable to forfeit without a fight. Otherwise, it would be too disgraceful.

Even if they were to lose, they had to do so on the battlefield.

Dong!

The bell rang, signaling the start of the match.

This time, Meng Changqing stepped onto the stage, accompanied by Mo Xiaoyu and Han Luoyu. The two were there mostly to make up the numbers and to experience the feeling of being watched by countless eyes.

“So, this is the stage of the Heroes’ Battle.”

The two tightened their hands slightly. Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, they couldn’t help but feel a surge of nervousness.

“Hm?”

Meng Changqing’s brow suddenly raised, noticing that the Wind King Hall had only sent two Life-and-Death Realm fighters and one peak Divine Attainment Realm fighter.

“Almost forgot, not all top-tier great sects have that many world-shaking Geniuses,” Meng Changqing remembered.

Among the Five Sects of Tianxuan Prefecture, the Wind King Hall ranked last, with only two world-shaking geniuses.

Purple Sun Palace was the same, while Cloud Sea Academy, Proud Sword Sect, and the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion had three each.

“That peak Divine Attainment Realm fighter is yours,” Meng Changqing turned and smiled.

“Gladly!” Han Luoyu twisted his neck, his eyes gleaming with battle intent.

Before Meng Changqing arrived, he was the top true disciple of the sect and the possessor of the Overlord Meridians.

“Alright!” Mo Xiaoyu also got excited.

She had thought she would just be a spectator in a different venue, but it turned out she could actually join the fight!

Meng Changqing turned his gaze back. As a disciple of a top-tier great sect, the peak Divine Attainment Realm fighter was naturally very strong — far beyond what Mo Xiaoyu and Han Luoyu could match.

After all, they were only at the second level of the Divine Attainment Realm. But Mo Xiaoyu had the extremely rare Innate Sword Body, and Han Luoyu had the top-tier talent Overlord Meridians, which made up for a lot of the difference.

Plus, it was two against one, so their chances were high.

Boom!

The battle erupted instantly.

Meng Changqing’s side was uneventful — two casual punches, and the two world-shaking geniuses were seriously injured and knocked unconscious on the spot. These two only had the embryonic form of true intent, so they stood no chance at all.

In contrast, Mo Xiaoyu and Han Luoyu’s battle caused a sensation across the entire venue!

“That’s… the Innate Sword Body!!!”

“And the Overlord Meridians!”

“Oh my heavens!”

“What is going on with this Tai Xuan Sect?”

“Not only is there that monster Meng Changqing, but earlier there was also the Stone Human Bloodline, and now there’s the Innate Sword Body and Overlord Meridians!”

Countless people gasped. These bloodlines, physiques, and talents were extremely rare. Any power that possessed one would give thanks to their ancestors for such a blessing!

But now, this mere first-rank sect, Tai Xuan Sect, seemed like a treasure trove, collecting all these incredible talents for themselves!

Some people couldn’t even imagine how strong this sect would be in ten or twenty years!

Phew!

Over at the Proud Sword Sect, eyes turned red with envy!

To them, the Innate Sword Body was far superior to the Luminous Sword Heart. The latter only granted extraordinary comprehension in the Dao of the Sword, but the former made any sword technique exponentially more powerful.

It was the mark of a Sword King!

On the battlefield, the disciple from the Wind King Hall was flushed with anger. He had come just to make up the numbers — who would have thought he’d become one of the main attractions?

Shouldn’t the focus be on Meng Changqing? But his two senior brothers had fallen with just two punches, leaving him as the Wind King Hall’s last ‘hope.’

“This sect is full of monsters!” The Wind King Hall disciple roared in his heart.

Although his opponents were only at the second level of the Divine Attainment Realm, one had the Innate Sword Body and the other had the Overlord Meridians.

There were strengths that could not be measured by mere realms!

If not for his own strength, he would have already been defeated. But at this rate, defeat was only a matter of time!

Bang!

After a dozen breaths, the Wind King Hall disciple could no longer hold on. He was struck in the chest by a sword, sent flying, and fell unconscious.

During the battle, Han Luoyu had stepped back once he realized his opponent wasn’t as strong as he had thought, leaving Mo Xiaoyu to fight alone.

The Innate Sword Body, after all, was stronger than the Overlord Meridians.

“Winner, Tai Xuan Sect!” The judge’s voice rang out.

In an instant, the venue erupted into cheers.

At that moment, everyone had almost completely succumbed to the power of Tai Xuan Sect. Not only did they have a monster like Meng Changqing, but the other disciples were equally exceptional!

The Stone Human Bloodline, the Innate Sword Body, all were capable of being called world-shaking Geniuses!

The Overlord Meridians was slightly less powerful, but still almost at that level!

“I think I’m witnessing the birth of a top-tier great sect!” someone couldn’t help but murmur.

“Indeed,” others nodded in agreement.

“This Tai Xuan Sect truly lives up to its title as the nemesis of great sects. First, it was the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, then the Proud Sword Sect, and now even the Wind King Hall is out.”

“Who will be next?”

The crowd eagerly anticipated the answer.

Soon, the fifth round began.

Only eight forces remained: the Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion, Cloud Sea Academy, Purple Sun Palace, Thundercloud Mountain, the ancient Yujia clan, the ancient Qingjia clan, Qianren Dizang Manor, and Tai Xuan Sect.

The first six were all great sects or ancient clans. As for Qianren Dizang Manor, it was a top-tier first-rank sect — quite strong, though luck played a significant role in its advancement.

Tai Xuan Sect, on the other hand, had made it entirely through strength, stepping on the heads of great sects, even top-tier ones!

At this pace, the final two forces could be decided before sunset.

Dong!

The matches continued!

The Nine-Colored Glazed Pavilion defeated Qianren Dizang Manor, Purper Sun Palace defeated Thundercloud Mountain, the Qingjia clan defeated the Yujia clan, and Tai Xuan Sect defeated Cloud Sea Academy.

Once again, Tai Xuan Sect had eliminated another top-tier great sect!
