Chapter 1156 - Taking Advantage
Chapter 1156 of "Beautiful CEO's Top Martial Expert" begins with suspense: Chapter 1156: Chapter 1154: Taking Advantage"Of course, my Xuanyuan Clan keeps its word, and we... Donât stop reading!
Chapter 1156: Chapter 1154: Taking Advantage"Of course, my Xuanyuan Clan keeps its word, and we are offering a Poxu Fruit to the first-place winner without any strings attached."
Xuanyuan Mingâs voice boomed, resonating throughout Tian Mountain.
"This Xuanyuan Clan really is formidable!"
Nangong Wei, the clan leader of the Nangong Clan, exclaimed in admiration.
"Hmph, theyâre just convinced that the first place will undoubtedly belong to their young clan leader, thatâs why theyâre willing to offer even the Poxu Fruitâafter all, it will end up in their young clan leaderâs hands anyway."
Beiming You commented coldly.
"Thatâs not necessarily the case. If Xuanyuan Hong wants to take first place, he has to see if I, Beiming Xuan, agree to it!"
Beiming Xuan clenched his fist and snorted coldly.
"Xuanâer, fight for the Beiming Clanâs honor, and suppress that Xuanyuan Clanâs arroganceâthey always act so superior, thinking theyâre the best in everything."
Beiming You looked at Beiming Xuan and encouraged him.
"Donât worry, Father, I will definitely win first place!"
Beiming Xuanâs eyes were filled with determination.
"This young clan leader of the Xuanyuan Clan is not easy to deal with, Qingyun, you havenât reached the Celestial Beings Realm yet, so just making it into the top ten will suffice this time."
Duanmu Yang, the clan leader of the Duanmu Family, said to Duanmu Qingyun beside him with an indifferent tone, as if he didnât hold much expectation for him.
"Understood, Father!"
Duanmu Qingyun nodded, his eyes flickering with an unusual light.
"Good, thanks to the generous prize provided by Elder Xuanyuan, I now declare the first round of the Martial Path tournament officially begins. All contestants, please step forward with your number tags."
Mo Canghai announced to everyone.
Immediately all contestants stepped forward, with participants from several Hidden Families also taking their number tags and joining the ranks.
"Everyone, start grouping according to your numbers, with groups being one and two, three and four, and so on."
Mo Canghai instructed, and the contestants began to group according to the numbers on their tags.
A few minutes later, the grouping was complete, and the first round of the Martial Path tournament officially started.
"Okay, now I invite those with numbers one to forty to step onto the arena and begin the battle. Anyone who is knocked out of the ring or is unable to continue fighting will be deemed as failed. Remember, during the competition, you must not take lives, and once anyone says âI surrenderâ, you must stop attacking, or else you will be disqualified."
An elder from the Tian Mountain Sect, a strong one in the Celestial Beings Realm, stepped forward to officiate as a referee.
Forty contestants stepped out, among them were Gu Qingcheng, Qijie, and Beiming Xuan from the Beiming Family. Coincidentally, Gu Qingchengâs opponent was Beiming Xuan.
"Wow, I didnât expect to be up against a beauty like Qingcheng. Sheâs as gorgeous as a flower, truly a heavenly beauty!"
Beiming Xuanâs eyes gleamed with a wicked light as he looked at Gu Qingcheng, his mouth twisting into a frivolous smile.
Faced with Beiming Xuanâs demeanor, Gu Qingchengâs brow furrowed slightly and she drew a Superior Grade Spiritual Sword, shouting as the power from the Late Stage of Entering Saint Realm burst forth.
"Not bad, your strength is decent, but still too weak. Beauty, why not become my woman? With the capability of the Beiming Family, I can easily help you to improve your strength several times over."
Beiming Xuan looked at Gu Qingcheng and chuckled lightly.
Swoosh!
Gu Qingcheng didnât listen to Beiming Xuanâs nonsense and thrust her sword at him like lightning, concentrating all her strength into this strike, her sword gleaming sharply.
Clang!
However, facing Gu Qingchengâs fierce thrust, Beiming Xuan did not dodge or defend; instead, he flicked his finger against the tip of the sword, and a piercing, clear ringing sound echoed.
Thud, thud, thud!
Following a single strum, Gu Qingcheng felt an invisible force pass through the blade of her sword, sending her stumbling backwards, almost out of the arena.
Ha!
Gu Qingcheng propped herself up with her sword on the arena floor and surged forward towards Beiming Xuan again, only to be repelled by his palm strike, forcing her to stagger back repeatedly.
"Master, Qingcheng is no match for that young master Beiming!"
A young female disciple within the Tianyin Sect group couldnât help but comment as she watched Gu Qingchengâs condition in the match.
"There is indeed a large gap between them."
Jing Xuan remarked.
"Beauty, youâd better just admit defeat. I donât want to hurt you!"
Beiming Xuan, hands clasped behind his back, spoke indifferently, his tone carrying an air of arrogance.
"Disciples of Tianyin Sect will not easily admit defeat!"
Gu Qingcheng retorted and sheathed her Spiritual Sword, taking out her real weapon instead, the Superior Grade Spiritual Artifact, Seven Tones Qin.
Then, Gu Qingcheng sat cross-legged on the platform, the Seven Tones Qin in between her legs, and began to play. In an instant, seven different colored lights burst forth from the seven different colored strings of the qin, shooting straight toward Beiming Xuan.
With the release of the seven beams of light, their attack power was comparable to the peak of the Entering Saint Realm, mixed in with the sound of the qin that could influence the spirit and assault the soul, launching a dual attack.
"Quite interesting!"
Beiming Xuan smiled lightly as a surge of invisible True Qi flowed from him, forming a shield that effectively blocked the seven beams of light, and the sound of the qin had no effect on him at all, his will unwaveringly firm.
Swoosh!
Beiming Xuanâs figure flickered and vanished from the spot, appearing behind Gu Qingcheng the next second. His body pressed against hers, his hands reached from behind to take over her qin-playing hands.
"How about I join the beauty in playing a tune together?"
Beiming Xuan whispered intimately into Gu Qingchengâs ear as he pressed close against her.
Gu Qingchengâs complexion changed, her brows tightly furrowed, about to struggle free.
And Xiao Yifeng, witnessing this scene, his pupils condensed, a flash of cold light fleeting in his eyes, jealousy and a murderous intent emerging in his heart.
"Kid, are you feeling jealous?"
Long Qian said with a chuckle.
Xiao Yifeng did not respond, internally debating whether he should directly intervene with his Flying Daggers to help Gu Qingcheng, but that could lead to trouble.
Yet, he couldnât stand to watch Beiming Xuan flirt with Gu Qingcheng. Although he and Gu Qingcheng had no actual relationship,
He already subconsciously held a place for Gu Qingcheng in his heart, treated her as his woman, and couldnât bear to witness itâperhaps this was the natural instinct of a man not wanting to see the woman he fancied intimate with someone else.
At this moment, Gu Qingcheng tried to break free, but her hands were held by Beiming Xuanâs, unable to move, rendering her unable to summon any strength from within.
"I concede!"
Gu Qingcheng abruptly exclaimed.
"Alright, Young Master Beiming, please cease your attack. You have won!"
The Tian Mountain Sect referee announced.
"Ah..."
Beiming Xuan released a sigh, releasing Gu Qingchengâs hands. The latter quickly gathered her Seven Tones Qin and put distance between herself and Beiming Xuan before stepping off the arena.
Gu Qingchengâs gaze involuntarily glanced at Xiao Yifeng, her heart uncertain of her thoughts.
