Ximen Yan instantly channeled his Xuan Qi to the extreme.
He clearly knew that he had no hope of winning the City Lord's grand duel this time.
Compared to Ximen Nu and Ximen Ju, he was much worse.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, he must perform to the extreme.
Therefore, he had to use the most gorgeous effect to instantly defeat Yang Dingtian and leave a deep impression on the tens of thousands of people present.
Most importantly, in the future, he would obtain an important position with real power in Cloud Sky City. Even in the entire Northwest Continent, he would obtain an important position.
At this moment, in his heart, he no longer regarded Cloud Sky City as Cloud Sky City. He had long chosen to work for the Northwest Qin family.
When Yang Dingtian saw Ximen Yan rushing over, he immediately stood still.
He still did not draw his sword!
In an instant, Ximen Yan was in front of him. The large sword in his hand directly slashed down on Yang Dingtian's head!
Immediately, everyone cried out in surprise.
"Die, bastard!" Ximen Yan roared and wanted to chop Yang Dingtian into meat paste!
At this moment, Qin Huaiyu turned his head away, unwilling to see the next scene.
Yang Dingtian's sword was still sheathed. He held the sword in his right hand and suddenly raised it.
"Dang … …" A crisp sound and sparks flew. Immediately, Yang Dingtian blocked Ximen Yan's sword.
When Ximen Yan saw that his sword was easily blocked, he was immediately startled.
"Ah … …" Ximen Yan roared crazily. Holding the sword with both hands, he crazily pressed down.
Yang Dingtian easily withstood all of Ximen Yan's energy suppression with one hand.
Ximen Yan used all his strength. His face became redder and redder. Cold sweat burst out, but the sword in his hand still could not be pressed down.
"Idiot, Ximen Ju and Qin Huaiyu deliberately sent you to your death!" Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
Then, he gently exhaled his Xuan Qi!
"Puff … …" Immediately, the sharp sword in Ximen Yan's hand shattered into pieces and turned into ashes.
This effect was really incomparably gorgeous.
Although Ximen Yan's hand was not a divine weapon, it was still a one in a million treasure sword.
Just like that, it dissipated in the wind, turning into countless powder that flew away.
Then, under Ximen Yan's shocked gaze, he violently spurted out blood, and his entire body flew out a few hundred meters like a kite.
"Bang …" Ximen Yan's body fell directly in front of Yang Yan. Blood continuously spurted out from his mouth and nose. After falling to the ground, he fiercely supported himself with both hands, trying to get up. However, he discovered that there was no strength in his entire body. The profound veins in his entire body seemed to have turned into a pile of mud.
"No …" Ximen Yan let out a miserable howl and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, unconscious!
From the beginning to the end, Yang Dingtian did not draw his sword, nor did he use any techniques, let alone any profound skills.
He killed Ximen Yan in an instant just like that.
…
There was silence in the square.
Everyone looked at everything in front of them in horror.
The tens of thousands of people present did not know Yang Dingtian's exact cultivation level. They only knew that a year and a half ago, he was only a three-star Xuan martial artist. Now, Ximen Yan was a Martial Ancestor Realm expert. Yet, he had been easily defeated by Yang Dingtian.
Then, what level was Yang Dingtian at?
Even Yang Yan, Ximen Ju, Qin Huaiyu and the rest revealed astonished and grave expressions.
They knew Yang Dingtian's cultivation level and deliberately sent Ximen Yan to his death.
However, they did not expect that Yang Dingtian would actually kill Ximen Yan in an instant so easily.
"Long live, long live …"
Yang Dingtian's direct subordinates reacted first and then roared excitedly.
Following that, everyone present began to shout loudly.
"Long live Yang Dingtian!"
…
Yang Yan took a deep breath and said loudly, "The first battle, Platform Master Yang Dingtian wins!
Challenger number two, come on stage and challenge! "
Following Yang Yan's order, Ximen Nu walked up the stage step by step with his sword in hand.
He was very handsome and cold, so he had an imposing manner when he walked.
However, gradually, people began to cry out in surprise.
Immediately after, everyone discovered that every step Ximen Yan took left behind a deep footprint.
This was not much, but the key was that the hard rocks of every footprint were all burnt black!
How hard were these rocks? If one wanted to shatter them, perhaps many people could do it.
However, the fact that there was not a single crack after leaving a deep footprint on the ground was very shocking.
What was even more terrifying was that the mystic qi released from his feet actually burnt the rocks.
One must know that burning rocks was much harder than burning steel.
It could be seen how astonishing this Ximen Nu's cultivation was!
…
Ximen Lie and Madam Ximen looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"Lie, what is this Ximen Nu's cultivation level?" Madam Ximen asked.
"This person has always been very distant with us. I really don't know his specific cultivation level." Ximen Lie said, "But from the looks of it, his cultivation level is not inferior to mine."
"Then comparing you and Little Tian, whose cultivation is stronger?" Madam Ximen asked.
Ximen Lie said, "Purely in terms of mystic qi cultivation, I am slightly stronger than Young Master."
Immediately, Madam Ximen's heart was filled with uneasiness.
This Ximen Nu's cultivation level was actually slightly higher than Ximen Lie's, and Yang Dingtian's cultivation level was slightly lower than Ximen Lie's. Then, this battle seemed to be really worrying.
…
Ximen Nu walked to Yang Dingtian and said slowly, "Yang Dingtian, your performance just now was really amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment!" Yang Dingtian said.
"The speed of your cultivation is really far beyond my imagination." Ximen Nu said, "I have never seen or heard of it before!"
"Thank you for the compliment." Yang Dingtian said.
"However, all of this is over." Ximen Nu said, "You took something that you shouldn't have taken, and you provoked an enemy that you shouldn't have provoked.
So, everything ends here. In the future, perhaps you will leave behind your reputation as an absolute genius, but all of this ends here. "
Yang Dingtian nodded.
"I am a three-star Revered Martial Artist."
Ximen Nu said indifferently, "My cultivation level should be one level higher than Ximen Lie's, and at least one level higher than yours. So, you have no hope.
Remember, after I kill you, don't blame me when you go to hell. You are the one who brought about your own death. "
Yang Dingtian finally couldn't help but frown and ask, "Ximen Nu, can I ask you a question?"
"Speak." Ximen Nu said.
"You are one of Martial Uncle Ximen's most valued foster sons. Why did you betray him and collude with those traitors?"
Yang Dingtian said, "Big Brother Ximen Lie once said many times that you could be our comrade. Why did you become our enemy?"
Ximen Nu laughed and said, "You are about to be killed. Why do you care so much about this answer?"
Yang Dingtian nodded and said, "Of course. If I don't ask now, I am afraid that I won't have the chance to ask in the future."
"Alright, then I will tell you. There are two reasons." Ximen Nu said, "The first reason is that among my foster father's many foster sons, I am the most handsome one.
So, I always thought that Yanyan and I were a match made in heaven. However, my foster father actually betrothed Yanyan to you, an outsider of unknown origin.
When I heard this news, I smashed the entire room and killed dozens of innocent people. "
"Then what is the second reason?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"The second reason is that I will only stand on the side of the strong."
Ximen Nu said, "You want me to be loyal to an outsider who is still wet behind the ears like you. I am not as stupid as Ximen Lie."
Yang Dingtian nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me."
"Actually, there is a third reason."
Ximen Nu's eyes revealed a trace of gloominess as he said, "Among my foster sons, my cultivation is not inferior to Ximen Lie's. My intelligence is not inferior to Ximen Ju's. My appearance and bearing far surpass theirs.
So why did my foster father send me to the Abyss Castle so early and make me stay away from Cloud Heaven City?
This made me very angry and dissatisfied. Especially when he chose you as his successor, I no longer treated him as my foster father.
I want to smash his everything. I want to let him know that his choice was wrong. "
Yang Dingtian completely understood!
Ximen Nu was not only a scheming person, but most importantly, he was extremely narrow-minded and selfish.
The reason why he stood on the side of the Northwest Qin City was because of his hatred towards Ximen Wuya.
It was obvious that Ximen Wuya had seen through his character long ago, so he sent him far away from Cloud Heaven City and made him guard the Abyss Castle at the border.
… …
"Alright, I have said all that needs to be said. Let's fight!" Ximen Nu said, "That's right, after killing you, I will lose to Ximen Ju later.
Do you know the conditions for me to join the Northwest Qin City? "
Yang Dingtian's eyes narrowed.
"It is Ximen Yanyan." Ximen Nu said, "After this matter ends, I will still return to my Abyss Castle.
However, Ximen Yanyan must belong to me.
Of course, she may have already been sullied by you, but I don't care. "
Yang Dingtian's heart was filled with anger.
"You can use mystical skills or fight directly. It's up to you."
Ximen Nu said, "Let's end this quickly. After killing you, I still have time to rush back to the Abyss Castle and consummate my marriage with Yanyan."
After saying this, Ximen Nu elegantly pulled out his sword.
His sword was very precious.
It was an ancient famous sword that Ximen Wuya obtained from somewhere. Compared to Yanyan's sword, it was even more mystical.
His sword was very beautiful. The blade of the sword was like a mirror, reflecting Ximen Nu's handsome and cold face!
Ximen Nu lightly swung the sword and pointed it at Yang Dingtian, saying, "For my foster father's sake, I will grant you a complete corpse!"
A breeze blew past, and Ximen Nu's robe and hair fluttered lightly, making him look even more heroic and extraordinary!
The sword in his hand did not move at all. He completely had the demeanor of an expert!
Suddenly, everyone held their breaths.
They could see that Yang Dingtian's real opponent had appeared.
Three star Revered Martial Artist, no one thought that Yang Dingtian could escape from his sword with his life!
… …
Yang Dingtian raised his sword and pointed it at Ximen Nu, saying angrily, "Come!"
"I know you are very scared, but don't forget to pull out your sword." Ximen Nu lightly mocked.
Yang Dingtian laughed, "Against you, I probably don't need to pull out my sword!"
When these words came out!
Instantly, Ximen Nu's complexion changed greatly. His handsome face instantly turned red!
His anger and murderous aura surged up to the heavens!
He, Ximen Nu, had never suffered such humiliation!
From the beginning until now, he did not put Yang Dingtian in his eyes at all. He completely had the demeanor of an expert!
Looking at Yang Dingtian from above, as if he could crush him with one finger.
Therefore, his tone was full of superiority and pity.
Now, the other party actually said that he did not even have the qualifications to make him pull out his sword!
In this world, was there anything more shameful than this?
Ximen Nu was instantly enraged to the extreme!
In an instant, his eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred!
Yang Dingtian finally knew why Ximen Wuya named him Ximen Nu.
Yang Dingtian had always felt that it was strange. Ximen Nu was a cold and handsome person who had nothing to do with the word 'Nu'. Why would Ximen Wuya give him such a name?
Now it seemed that Ximen Wuya's name was extremely accurate.
This person's narrow-mindedness, this person's vengeance for the smallest grievance, it was completely the most Yang Dingtian had ever seen!
"Yang Dingtian, you humiliated me. Later, I will let you die in the most humiliating way." Ximen Nu said coldly. His voice was as cold as if it came from the depths of hell.
After saying this, he jumped up and the sharp sword in his hand lightly pierced towards Yang Dingtian!
Ximen Nu learned an eighth grade martial technique, Cold Flame Sword Art!
In the entire Cloud Sky City, he was the only one who learned this set of sword art.
Although Cold Flame Sword Art was a fire martial technique, it leaned towards Yin and cold, which was very suitable for Ximen Nu's character and talent.
And the most important thing was that there was the word 'Flame' on it. From then on, he was filled with absolute possessiveness towards Yanyan!
"Whoosh …"
As Xuan Qi was injected, Ximen Nu's sword instantly changed color and a blue flame gushed out.
"Whoosh …"
Before Ximen Nu's sword arrived, a blue fire snake suddenly shot out.
It was tricky, vicious, and incomparably fast. It suddenly flew towards Yang Dingtian and instantly wrapped around Yang Dingtian's neck. It opened its fangs and fiercely bit down on Yang Dingtian's neck!
Looking at the sword light and the fire snake's terrifying eyes, it was exactly the same as Ximen Nu's.
Everyone exclaimed because Yang Dingtian's neck was almost instantly wrapped around.
This move was the third move of Cold Flame Sword Art, Ghost Chain!
Once the neck was wrapped around, it would not stop until death. It was almost certain death!
Therefore, everyone present was shocked and their expressions changed drastically!
Yang Yan sneered disdainfully and said, "It's only so-so!"
Seeing the sword light snake biting over, Yang Dingtian directly opened his mouth.
Everyone was shocked. Was he crazy?
Was Yang Dingtian scared out of his wits?
In an instant, this ferocious sword light snake suddenly drilled into Yang Dingtian's mouth.
Some people directly closed their eyes!
Because Yang Dingtian's actions were completely courting death!
However, what happened next stunned everyone once again.
Yang Dingtian opened his mouth and lightly spat.
Immediately, a ball of flame emerged from his mouth and collided with the terrifying sword light fire snake.
In an instant, that ferocious and terrifying fire snake was instantly turned into ashes!
How could this be?
Everyone was shocked!
Including Ximen Nu, his face was also filled with shock!
How could this be?
But very quickly, this emotion was swept away.
Ximen Nu's sword was like an even more terrifying poisonous snake, piercing into Yang Dingtian's mouth like lightning!
"Ah …"
Yanyan and Mrs. Ximen cried out in horror.
The tens of thousands of people present also suddenly stood up and looked at the terrifying scene in front of them.
Ximen Nu's sword directly pierced into Yang Dingtian's mouth like the most vicious poisonous snake.
No one expected that the two of them had just started fighting and the scene would be so vicious and terrifying.
No matter how one looked at it, Yang Dingtian was definitely going to die this time!
