As she watched the battle between Tang Ye and Li Xianjun, a wisp of worry flashed in Murong Yao’s eyes. She’d personally experienced Li Xianjun’s strength. When Li Xianjun was able to leave safely on that day, she knew that she wasn’t a match for Li Xianjun, or it should be said as the gap between her and Li Xianjun was quite huge! On the other hand, she merely had a rough understanding that Tang Ye’s strength was extremely formidable, but she didn’t know exactly how formidable it was. So, she was slightly worried and perturbed about the battle between Tang Ye and Li Xianjun. At a certain spot below Arena No.9, Murong Yao gazed at Li Xianjun and Tang Ye as she said, “Leng Xinran, who do you think will die?” Leng Xinran who stood by Wenren Yue’s side pondered deeply for a moment before she said, “Both of them are very strong!” Wenren Yue nodded, and then she said, “I’ve fought Tang Ye. He’s extremely strong. On the other hand, since Li Xianjun’s status was higher than Xiu Luo who’d comprehended Slaughter Intent, then he’s probably not weak as well. Since they’ve encountered each other now, then it will be an intense fight!” “You’ve fought Tang Ye?” asked Leng Xinran. Wenren Yue nodded and said, “He’s extremely strong and very mysterious. I’m not confident in my ability to defeat him!” When she recalled the strength Tang Ye revealed at that time, Leng Xinran nodded in agreement, and then she fell silent and gazed at Tang Ye who was in battle on the arena. She still remembered that Tang Ye owed her two Icesoul Fruits! On a spot on the Imperial Palace’s walls that others were unable to see, worry arose in Su Qingshi’s eyes as well while she watched the battle between Tang Ye and Li Xianjun. On the other hand, Kugu who stood nearby had a calm expression and even a faint smile on his face. He seemed as if Li Xianjun would definitely win. For the sake of fairness, the seniors of all the participants couldn’t be present at the competition grounds, and they could only stand at this spot and watch the competition. Because incidents, where seniors had forcefully interfered in order to save the lives of their disciples, had occurred in the past. So, since then, the Grand Qin Empire had arranged for the seniors of the various participants to remain here! “Brother Yu Heng, the strength possessed by this Tang Ye from your Sword Sect isn’t bad indeed. However, it’s still slightly inferior when compared to Li Xianjun. After all, Li Xianjun is at the peak of the ninth rank right now!” The Origin School’s Qing Yun’zi gazed at the battle as he spoke indifferently with a smile on his face. Yu Heng said flatly, “Brother Qing ought to be clearly aware that a gap of a few ranks is nothing to monstrous geniuses like them.” “Is that so?” Qing Yun’zi smiled lightly, and then he said, “Then allow us to wait and see. Let’s see if it’s the Sword Sect or Ghost Sect that wins during this year’s Ascension Rankings.” Yu Heng fell silent while a wisp of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes. He wasn’t worried about Tang Ye’s fate, and he was worried about the Sword Sect’s fate if Tang Ye lost! After all, the Sword Sect really needed someone to enter the top 30 and seize a few more cities for the Sword Sect. Otherwise, the Sword Sect would be in an embarrassing state for the next few years! Even though Kugu had a calm expression, he wasn’t calm in his heart at all. The Ghost Sect had lost Xiu Luo and the other disciples on Ascension Mountain Range, so Li Xianjun was especially important at this moment. If Li Xianjun won, then the Sword Sect would continue declining in the next few years, and this was great news for the Ghost Sect! However, if Li Xianjun lost, then it would be the Ghost Sect that would fall into a decline in the next few years. Because the Ghost Sect only had a single participant in the Ascension Rankings now. If Li Xianjun lost, then it meant that the Ghost Sect hadn’t just lost an extraordinary genius, it would fall into a situation just like the Sword Sect was in for the next few years. It would have no capable disciples in its outer court! So, no matter if it was the Ghost Sect or Sword Sect, this battle was of utmost importance, and both couldn’t afford to lose it! Bang! An enormous bang suddenly resounded on the arena, and then Tang Ye and Li Xianjun split apart.Tang Ye’s expression was slightly solemn as he gazed at Li Xianjun. Needless to say, Li Xianjun really was formidable. Regardless of whether it was his reaction in battle or strength, Li Xianjun was extremely formidable. Especially the mysterious black sickle in Li Xianjun’s grasp, it caused even Tang Ye to feel slightly fearful. If Violet Spirit hadn’t been a Dao Artifact in the past, it would have probably been destroyed by the black sickle by now! At this moment, Li Xianjun had a solemn expression on his face as well, and there wasn’t even a trace of a smile on his face. At this point in the battle, he knew that he’d slightly underestimated this young man called Tang Ye who’d comprehended Sword Intent. Because Tang Ye hadn’t utilized Sword Intent to fight him equally just now! Li Xianjun let out a light breath of air and then swung casually. The black sickle tore through the air and pointed directly at Tang Ye before he said, “Utilize your full strength or you won’t have the chance to!”
