Why was he trying to win people's hearts? For fairness and to attack Yang Dingtian's morale.
Yang Zheng pierced his own chest with his sword and proposed to defeat Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie before fighting with Yang Dingtian.
Instantly, everyone was conquered by Yang Zheng's sword that pierced through his chest.
Then, Yang Zheng instantly killed the Martial Supreme Madam Ximen.
Most importantly, when Yang Zheng killed Madam Ximen, he was injured.
Instantly, everyone in the square sucked in a breath of cold air.
As for Yang Dingtian's supporters, their morale fell to the lowest point.
Everyone had a clear idea that Yang Zheng was stronger than Yang Dingtian, and much stronger.
After defeating Madam Ximen, Yang Zheng looked at Ximen Lie and said, "It's your turn. You, come!"
Ximen Lie took a deep breath, drew his sword, and slowly walked towards the fighting ring.
Instantly, everyone in the square hissed.
These were the warriors from the Northwest Qin Family who had infiltrated. They were mocking Ximen Lie for stalling for time. Anyway, as long as the sun set, Yang Dingtian would win.
This was indeed Ximen Lie's plan!
This person was righteous and brave. Originally, he would never use such a method. However, for Yang Dingtian, he had already broken his own principles and trampled on his pride.
Yang Yan looked at Ximen Lie as he slowly walked up. His lips curled into a cold smile. Then, he turned his ring on his left hand.
Yang Zheng immediately saw Yang Yan's action. His eyes flashed and his finger gently stroked the hilt of his sword. Instantly, killing intent gathered in his eyes.
Yang Yan's order was very clear.
Although Yang Peipei had broken off relations with the Yang Family, she was still Yang Zheng's aunt. Therefore, she could not be killed.
However, Ximen Lie was Ximen Wuya's adopted son. He could kill him and clear the obstacles for the Yang Family to regain control of Cloud Sky City.
Therefore, Yang Zheng had to kill Ximen Lie!
Looking at Ximen Lie, who was slowly walking up, Yang Zheng's hand shook slightly.
Instantly, a beautiful flame rose from his palm.
Mystic Fire!
This was the Mystic Fire!
Everyone in the square exclaimed in unison!
Their gazes towards Yang Zheng were filled with endless envy and admiration.
Even Qin Huaiyu had a complicated look in his eyes.
In everyone's eyes, anyone who possessed the Mystic Flame could become the top martial artist in this world.
To put it more cliche, as long as one had the Mystic Fire, one could break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Of course, Yang Zheng's was only a Mirage Void Fire.
However, to the people of the world, it did not matter so much. Regardless of whether it was the Illusory Void Flame or the Miscellaneous Flames, they were all Profound Flames. They were enough to make people vomit blood from jealousy.
Ximen Lie slowly walked over. The Mystic Flame in Yang Zheng's palm burned brighter and brighter, becoming more and more gorgeous and threatening.
Yang Zheng's face gradually turned serious, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
There was not much time left until the sun set, so he didn't have the time to fight with Ximen Lie, what he wanted was to kill him in one move.
This kind of instant kill was not just a defeat, but a true harvest of life.
Today's grand martial competition was Yang Zheng's greatest performance on the world stage. He wanted to leave an indelible impression in everyone's hearts.
Insta-killing Ximen Lie, just right!
…
Ximen Lie's foot stepped into the destroyed stage.
"Hu …" Immediately, the Mystic Flame in Yang Zheng's palm turned red like blood.
Yang Zheng's cultivation was not inferior to Ximen Ju's. Furthermore, he had the Mirage Void Fire!
Ximen Lie was a Two Star Revered Martial Artist.
Therefore, if one was hit by Yang Zheng's Mystic Flame, they would die without a doubt!
Immediately, Yang Dingtian, who was adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed, felt an incomparably dangerous aura!
He abruptly opened his eyes and immediately saw Yang Zheng's cold killing intent!
"Wait …" Yang Dingtian had no choice but to stop recovering his Mystic Qi. He stood up and said to Ximen Lie: "Big brother, stand down!"
Ximen Lie opened his eyes and said: "No!"
"This is an order!" Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
"No!" Ximen Lie said loudly: "Even if I die, I will die a worthy death!"
Yang Dingtian still said coldly: "This is an order, stand down!"
"Yes!" Ximen Lie slowly took a few steps back. His eyes were still filled with the determination to die.
He was very clear in his heart that if Yang Dingtian died under Yang Dingtian's sword today, then he, Ximen Lie, would immediately rush up to be buried with him. He would only die a few seconds later than Yang Dingtian. This was his determination.
When Yang Dingtian was around, it was still meaningful for him to protect Madam Ximen and the Black Blood Cavalry.
If Yang Dingtian wasn't around, then everything would be meaningless.
In fact, if Yang Dingtian died today …
Then Ximen Yanyan, Madam Ximen, Mu Liancheng and his daughter … in short, all of Yang Dingtian's direct descendants would die. They wouldn't have any hope of turning the tables!
…
Yang Dingtian's Mystic Qi had only recovered by 10%. His entire body was weak and severely injured.
If he immediately consumed a cup of sacred water and recuperated for ten hours, then he would recover completely.
But now, he didn't even have 15 minutes!
Therefore, he could only be weak and severely injured!
Yang Dingtian used his sharp sword to support himself as he staggered towards Yang Zheng and said, "Brother Yan, there is still some time before the sun sets.
Anyway, if we fight, the outcome will be decided in an instant. So let's have a chat first! "
With just one sentence, Yang Dingtian's blood surged. Then, a mouthful of blood gushed out from his throat. He forcefully swallowed it back, but blood still seeped out from the corner of his mouth.
"Alright, then let's have a chat!" Yang Zheng said.
"Although our relationship is a little complicated, we have always admired each other," Yang Dingtian said.
"That's right. I admire you a lot," Yang Zheng said.
Yang Dingtian said, "Why do you think I fought for Cloud Heaven City?"
"It should be for Ximen Wuya," Yang Zheng said.
"You can say that," Yang Dingtian said, "Then, why did Ximen Wuya hand Cloud Heaven City to me?"
Yang Zheng said, "He felt that you could protect Cloud Heaven City's hundreds of years of foundation and even take back the main seat of Yin-Yang school!"
"Taking back the main seat of Yin-Yang school, I don't think Uncle Ximen is that desperate. First, he wants Cloud Heaven City to be independent and strong.
Second, Cloud Heaven City can become a famous sect in the world and not be in an awkward position.
Three Sects, Nine Clans, and Twenty-Seven Factions. At least enter the Twenty-Seven Factions. "
"What do you mean by telling me all this?" Yang Zheng said.
"I can admit defeat. I can give up being the Lord of Cloud Heaven City," Yang Dingtian said calmly. "It might be good for you to be the Lord of Cloud Heaven City.
Your talent, your intelligence, they are all sufficient. "
When he said this, Yang Dingtian's body trembled. He looked at Yang Dingtian in disbelief.
Yang Dingtian continued, "Originally, I looked down on Yang Yan and thought that he was a lackey of the Northwest Qin City.
But now, it seems that his scheming is something I can't imagine!
So, even in front of the Northwest Qin City, he won't give in easily. "
Then, Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Zheng and said, "Promise me one thing, and I will admit defeat and support you to be the Lord of Cloud Heaven City."
"What is it?" Yang Zheng asked.
"First, let me guard the Abyss Castle at the border.
Second, expel the Northwest Qin City's forces.
I know that the Northwest Qin City's annexation of Cloud Heaven City will not stop. You have a close and complicated relationship with the Northwest Qin City. But to cut them off, from the moment you become the Lord of Cloud Heaven City, you will start to clean out the Northwest Qin City's forces, "Yang Dingtian said.
"Cleaning out the Northwest Qin City is easier said than done," Yang Zheng said. "Do you know that the Northwest Qin City's strength is a hundred times that of Cloud Heaven City?
Going against the Northwest Qin City head-on is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Do you know that the forces Qin Huaiyu arranged around Cloud Heaven City are enough to destroy Cloud Heaven City a few times? "
"Leave it to me," Yang Dingtian said. "Let me think of a way to completely clean out Cloud Heaven City's thousand-mile territory.
I can even stand on the frontlines against the Northwest Qin City and support you with all my strength. "
"What do you think?" Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Zheng and asked.
Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Dingtian with a complicated gaze and said, "Yang Dingtian, you have far exceeded my expectations.
I really couldn't predict that you would be like this. "
Yang Dingtian said, "Cloud Heaven City is my responsibility, not my desire.
As long as Cloud Heaven City's independence and strength can be guaranteed, then letting the heir of the Yang family become the Lord of Cloud Heaven City may not be a bad thing.
However, the key is that the Yang family members must be strong enough to be independent and not let Cloud Heaven City fall into the hands of others. "
Yang Zheng looked at Yang Dingtian, took a deep breath, and said, "Yang Dingtian, you have deeply moved me.
Then, I will also raise a condition. As long as you agree, I will agree to your request and completely break off relations with the Northwest Qin City. "
"Speak," Yang Dingtian said.
"Yanyan is my childhood sweetheart and fiancée. Return her to me," Yang Zheng said.
Instantly, a wave of anger rose from Yang Dingtian's heart.
"Are you humiliating me?" Yang Dingtian said coldly.
"I am not humiliating you. Yanyan is mine," Yang Zheng said.
"No, she is her own and does not belong to anyone. I have no right to give her to anyone," Yang Dingtian said coldly.
Yang Zheng said, "Alright, I can not take her in.
However, she has to leave you.
After all, she is my fiancée. I don't want her to belong to any man! "
Yang Dingtian slowly closed his eyes.
Yang Zheng said indifferently, "Yang Dingtian, you are a man of great talent and strategy.
You shouldn't be so ignorant. This is a good thing for you, for me, for Yanyan, for Madam Ximen, and everyone else!
If you give up Ximen and Yanyan, I will let all of you go and hand over the Abyss Castle to you. "
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and sighed, "Yang Zheng, Yan Bieqin, you have really disappointed me!"
"Alright, the sun is about to set." Yang Dingtian held the sword with both hands and struggled to raise the soul sword. He said, "Let's fight!"
Yang Zheng's eyes shrunk as he sneered, "Are you sure you want to fight?
You are seeking your own death! "
"I tried my best to talk to you, but you humiliated me. If I don't fight, what else can I do?" Yang Dingtian said.
"However, you are heavily injured and can't even raise your sword. You don't even have ten percent of your mystic qi. How are you going to fight?" Yang Zheng said.
"That is my problem. You just have to kill." Yang Dingtian said.
"Alright …" Yang Zheng looked at the sun that was halfway down the mountain and looked at Yang Dingtian, "I will write a tombstone for you."
"There is no need."
Yang Dingtian replied, "If I die in battle, you can hack me into a thousand pieces and dismember me into a thousand pieces. You can also casually roll me up and throw me into the wilderness!"
Hearing Yang Dingtian's contempt for him, Yang Zheng was instantly enraged. He said coldly, "Alright!"
Then, he slowly raised his long sword.
"Whoosh …" A gorgeous flame suddenly emerged from the tip of the sword!
He wanted to use all his strength and his strongest mystic skill to condense the Mystic Flame to the extreme.
He wanted to turn Yang Dingtian into ashes!
…
The Mystic Flame on the tip of Yang Zheng's sword became brighter and brighter. It became more and more shocking. Finally, it released a soul-stirring murderous aura.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and used both hands to raise the long sword.
However, under the lack of strength, he staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The sharp sword in both hands paused for a moment before he tried to raise it again.
The entire plaza was silent!
Everyone only felt that their eyes were sore as they resisted the urge to cry.
This was the end of a hero, the swan song of a hero.
He was severely injured, his mystic qi was exhausted, and it was difficult to even raise the artifact sword.
Yet, he had to face an incomparably powerful enemy.
Yanyan didn't cry. She just looked at Yang Dingtian with her big beautiful eyes and didn't even dare to blink for a second.
In her heart, this might be the last time she looked at him completely.
"Boom …" All of a sudden.
Yang Dingtian's artifact sword lit up, and a lump of golden flame burned fiercely.
Mystic Flame, it was also the Mystic Flame!
When everyone saw this Mystic Flame, they were instantly shocked!
Yang Dingtian's Mystic Flame was actually a bright red with a hint of gold.
Yang Dingtian actually had the Mystic Flame too!
From start to end, apart from the battle with Song Yu, Yang Dingtian didn't directly display the Mystic Flame.
At the moment when he perished together with Dugu Fengwu, his entire body was burning fiercely, but he still didn't display the characteristics of the Mystic Flame.
The Mystic Flame was very, very special. It was a flame that had a life of its own.
Right now, Yang Dingtian completely displayed his Mystic Flame.
Qin Huaiyu, Yang Yan, and everyone else had a shocked expression.
Yang Dingtian actually possessed the Mystic Flame?
"You have the Mystic Flame?" Yang Zheng was shocked.
"Of course, this is the true Million Spirit Demon Flame. Yours is merely the Mirage Void Flame." Yang Dingtian said.
As expected, when Yang Dingtian's Million Spirit Demon Flame was released.
The Mystic Flame at the tip of Yang Zheng's sword actually swayed violently and shrunk slightly as though its aura was being suppressed.
Instantly, Yang Zheng's eyes flashed with jealousy and a complicated expression. He then sneered and said, "So what?
So what if you have the Mystic Flame?
You don't have any more mystic qi in your body, and you are still going to die. However, it is a waste of a Heaven and Earth Mystic Flame! "
"I have mystic qi." Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
"How absurd! Where did you get the mystic qi from?" Yang Zheng laughed loudly.
"I just need to burn my own Qi Sea." Yang Dingtian said.
After saying that, his entire body started to burn fiercely.
That's right, Yang Dingtian was burning his own Qi Sea.
Once again, he was fighting to live from the brink of death!
"You, you are crazy …" Yang Zheng said in shock, "You will be smashed to pieces!"
"At most, we will perish together!"
Yang Dingtian smiled faintly and said, "One Star Revered Martial Artist and the Million Spirit Demon Flame. After the Qi Sea explodes, both of us will be smashed to pieces!"
"You, you are crazy …" Yang Zheng said in a trembling voice.
"I am crazy …" Yang Dingtian said indifferently.
Then, the terrifying golden flame instantly soared several feet high. Yang Dingtian's entire body turned into a burning Mystic Flame!
This scene caused everyone present to be shocked to the core, causing their hearts to tremble.
Yang Dingtian, this peerless genius that was rarely seen in the world, was burning his own qi vessel for the final battle!
Yang Dingtian's entire body was burning. The more the golden Qi Sea burned, the crazier it became.
The golden Mystic Flame became more and more intense. Suddenly, it completely suppressed Yang Zheng's Mystic Flame.
Yang Zheng's eyes trembled, his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
He knew that he could not delay any longer. He must kill Yang Dingtian before he self-destructed.
"Yang Dingtian, rest in peace …"
Yang Dingtian roared. The sharp sword in his hand shot out a dazzling sword light. With a shocking Mystic Skill, he crazily slashed towards Yang Dingtian.
"Let's perish together …" Yang Dingtian roared crazily.
He completely turned into a raging flame and crazily rushed towards Yang Zheng. He crazily rushed towards Yang Zheng's sword light.
The soul sword in his hand crazily slashed down!
"Bang …"
Suddenly, the flame on Yang Dingtian's body exploded, emitting a dazzling light.
It was as if a nuclear bomb had exploded, instantly blinding everyone's eyes!
At the same time, Yang Zheng's sword light ruthlessly slashed onto Yang Dingtian's chest.
Yang Dingtian's soul sword fiercely stood on top of Yang Zheng's treasure sword!
"Boom boom boom boom …"
A series of violent explosions.
In the martial arts arena, light burst forth.
The entire plaza was filled with white light. One could not see anything at all!
… ….
After a full two minutes, the light in the plaza gradually faded.
Everyone's hearts were incomparably sorrowful!
Because they all knew that Yang Dingtian was already dead. He had completely self-destructed and turned into ashes.
Yang Dingtian chose to perish together with Yang Zheng in the final battle!
… …
After the light dissipated!
Everyone was suddenly shocked into silence as they stared blankly at the center of the martial arts arena.
Everyone revealed a look of complete disbelief.
Why was it like this?
Why was it like this?
Yang Dingtian actually did not die?
How could he not die? He actually did not die? He was actually standing in the middle of the martial arts arena.
Even though his entire body was covered in blood, even though his entire body was riddled with wounds, even though he needed to use his treasure sword to support himself on the ground and could not even stand.
However, he was indeed not dead.
What was going on?
Didn't he self-destruct his qi sea?
In this world, anyone who self-destructed their qi sea would only have one outcome, and that was to be smashed to pieces.
Why was Yang Dingtian not dead?
Why was Yang Dingtian fine?
… …
Yang Zheng also did not die. He was currently below the stage, a full two hundred meters away from the martial arts arena.
The current him was covered in wounds and his body was charred black. The treasure sword in his hand was completely broken, leaving less than two inches.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
The most important thing was that his right hand was gone, leaving only a bare wrist that was dripping with blood.
Very soon, everyone saw his right hand dripping with blood. It was on the ground not far away, almost charred black.
Everyone was completely shocked!
Qin Huaiyu, Yang Yan, and the rest had also completely lost all their poise. They stood up from their seats and looked at everything in front of them in disbelief.
Why was it like this?
How could it be like this?
Yang Dingtian looked at the sun that had completely disappeared and said to Yang Zheng indifferently, "You lost. The Cloud Heaven City Lord is me."
