Chapter 1353: Chapter 180: Named Challenge? Slapping Five Thousand Faces (Part 2)

Li Liqing was now filled with despair, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Her hand gripped a sharp Fighting Energy Sword, yet she found herself unable to retaliate. In the blink of an eye, she had been forced to the edge of the arena, teetering on the brink of defeat.

"Vice Clan Leader Dugu, according to old rules, stepping off the arena means a loss?" Yun Sheng remarked with a face full of ease, as if simultaneously wielding two types of magic was as effortless as eating and drinking.

Dugu Xiu’s complexion turned red and then white.

He had anticipated Li Liqing’s defeat long ago, but hadn’t expected Yun Sheng would use such "straightforward" and "brutal" methods to bring about her loss.

He had almost forgotten that Yun Sheng was a woman who bore grudges and was excessively clever.

"Correct." Dugu Xiu managed to force out these two words with difficulty.

"Alright." Yun Sheng responded crisply, waving the Magic Wand in her hand.

A Dark Sky Thorn, as thick as a forearm, struck Li Liqing in the chest.

The powerful Dark Magic Wave caused Li Liqing to let out a tragic scream as she was violently flung out of the arena.

She rolled to the ground, her body covered in wounds, her armor completely shattered, her skin charred and bruised.

The entire match had lasted no more than fifteen minutes.

In the square, the townspeople of the Black Qilin Tribe fell silent.

Inside the Bahuang Beast Tribe’s tents, there was dead silence as well.

Earlier, those Bahuang Beast Tribe warriors who regretted not getting the chance to take the lead and pick "easy targets" were now feeling a sense of relief.

Oh my, luckily they hadn’t challenged Yun Sheng; otherwise, they couldn’t imagine how they’d meet their doom.

"Sky Fox Tribe, Yun Sheng, scores one point." Du Xiu waved his hand, and two Black Qilin Soldiers carried Li Liqing away.

Just as everyone thought the match was over, Li Liqing, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly leapt up.

"I’ll fight you to the death." Defeated by Yun Sheng, and utterly defeated at that.

Now, with her prideful nature shattered, there was only one thought in her mind: fight Yun Sheng.

She arched her body like a mother beast driven to desperation, clutching a dagger with a glowing green light, charging towards Yun Sheng.

The dagger was already smeared with a lethal poison.

"Tsk, I had considered letting you live." Yun Sheng furrowed her brow, the Dark Thorn converged into a Dark Sky Prison, trapping Li Liqing within.

"Yun Sheng, show mercy when you can." Dugu Xiu saw Yun Sheng was about to deliver a killing blow and quickly moved to break into the Dark Sky Prison.

The powerful Dark Magic Wave left Dugu Xiu temporarily powerless to break through.

Should Li Liqing be killed in front of him, the Vice Clan Leader, the Black Qilin Tribe’s reputation would be greatly damaged.

"Save those words for the dead." Yun Sheng clasped her fingers, the Dark Sky Prison suddenly exploded, leaving Li Liqing’s body turned to ashes by the Heavenly Thorns.

On the ground, only a few pieces of burnt black armor remained.

Hiss—a collective sound of inhaled breaths.

This woman, not only did she not care about the Vice Clan Leader’s face, she directly killed Li Liqing.

Dugu Xiu’s face darkened as he stared intently at Yun Sheng.

"Vice Clan Leader, this woman killed Li Qing, we must avenge her." Inside the Black Qilin Tribe’s tent, the remaining warriors were filled with fury.

Dugu Xiu was angry, but also greatly troubled, Yun Sheng’s actions left him uncertain on how to calm the town and clan warriors.

"Quiet." Just as Dugu Xiu was at a loss, the Jiuluan Clan Patriarch rose and made a gesture for silence.

The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch was the oldest among the current Bahuang Beast Tribe leaders, highly respected, and with his words, the Black Qilin Tribe and townspeople quieted down.

"Yun Sheng, why did you not hold back?" The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch admired Yun Sheng’s strength, but her character was too...

The saying goes that a mighty dragon cannot overpower a local snake. How could she attack and kill someone in the territory of the Black Qilin Tribe?

"Patriarch, why should I hold back? Don’t forget, earlier, we were still on the arena, where one cannot predict the fists and feet, who dictated the rule that killing was forbidden? Or is it that no one has ever died on the arena of the Eight Desolate Clan Competition?" Upon Yun Sheng’s words, everyone recalled, at the last moment, Li Liqing attempted a sneak attack, leapt back up to the arena.

Neither had left the arena nor admitted defeat, meaning the match was indeed still ongoing.

As for deaths occuring during the Eight Desolate Clan Competition, it was indeed commonplace.

"Vice Clan Leader, Yun Sheng’s words hold true. As everyone saw, Li Liqing made a sneak attack at the end, using a dagger, and even smeared poison. Clan competition rules prohibit poisonous weapons and evil techniques, and if discovered, the person is immediately disqualified." The Jiuluan Clan Patriarch said.

"What the Patriarch says is true, and I find the girl acted in self-defense. If it were me, encountering such a junior, I’d have slapped them dead too." Chief Lipa chimed in support.

These two clan leaders were upright people, very displeased with Li Liqing and the Black Qilin Tribe’s behavior.

Seeing others opening their mouths in support, Hu Qianqiu, the Clan Leader of the Sky Fox Tribe, remained silent, which deepened Yun Sheng’s disdain for him.

"This time, it’s all my fault for lax supervision, causing embarrassment to you clan leaders. Similar situations won’t happen again." Dugu Xiu felt relieved inside. "Men, discard Li Liqing’s corpse outside the city, feed it to the wolves, without burial. Anyone using underhanded means in the clan competition again will have her as their lesson."

Thus, Yun Sheng earned one point.

This match shook the confidence of several other great Beast Clans who originally intended to target the Sky Fox Tribe.

If they couldn’t deal with the Sky Fox Tribe, then they could only aim for the "easy target," the Hua Clan.

"I am Cang Yi of the Silver Roc Clan, stepping forward for the second challenge." From the Silver Roc Clan, a warrior emerged.

"Who are you challenging?" Dugu Xiu asked.

Cang Yi glanced towards the Hua Clan’s tent, but for a while could not call out the opponent’s name.

This was to be expected, as the Hua Clan’s contestants had no reputation.

During the earlier match against the Ba Snake, the Hua Clan reportedly sent out only three people; subsequently, when the Ba Snake Tribe’s warriors and the Young Clan Chief went missing, they automatically advanced.

"I challenge her." Cang Yi looked at the people in the Hua Clan contingent.

"Pick me, pick me!" Bo Bo was excited on the side.

After witnessing her master show great skill, she too wanted to step forward and show off her abilities.

But after much selection, Cang Yi finally pointed to a dark-skinned woman within the Hua Clan, whose appearance was charming, with a pair of pointed ears, leaving one uncertain of her Beast Clan origin.

Poor Cang Yi, having chosen the Night Charm Queen, both Yun Sheng and Bo Bo silently lit a candle for him in their hearts.
