Chapter 467– Fighting Once Again Against The Skeleton King

TL : GoldenLung

The referee looked at both parties and shouted, “Begin.”

The second round of the year-skipping battles in the Outer Court’s competition had begun.

Sima Xian raised his head and his eyes flickered as he charged towards Lan Xuanyu.

His gaze immediately locked onto Lan Xuanyu.

One against three, he obviously knew that he wasn’t confident in winning. He didn’t even know who his opponents were going to be before he appeared. Bing Tianliang was a stranger to him, but he was very familiar with Lan Xuanyu and Yuanen Huihui.

When he saw his three opponents, he immediately planned to defeat Lan Xuanyu first.

Everyone knew that the true core of the first years was Lan Xuanyu. Only by defeating him would he have a chance of defeating the other party.

This time, Tang Yuge did not appear and he took her place. Sima Xian was also under immense pressure. If he won this match, it would naturally cause the third years’ prestige to skyrocket. His position among the third years would be further stabilized and he would no longer have to worry about Tang Yuge snatching back the position of class leader. If he lost, it would be hard to say and it would be another blow to the third years.

It was precisely because they lost to the first years twice that the main teacher of the third years was under immense pressure. Hence, Sima Xian was well-prepared and determined to win.

Yuanen Huihui and Bing Tianliang, who were by Lan Xuanyu’s side, spread out to the sides at the same time to widen the distance between them. On the other hand, Lan Xuanyu, who was in front, did not retreat with them. Instead, he faced Sima Xian.

What was he trying to do?

The spectating students were surprised. Lan Xuanyu didn’t even assist his teammates. Everyone now knew that his Blue Silver Grass had a very strong enhancement effect, and could assist both in strength and elemental control. With his support, his teammates’ strength would increase by a large margin. But he actually wasn’t doing that. Instead, he exposed himself to Sima Xian.

Sima Xian had long legs and was extremely fast. He was like a gigantic war chariot as he charged straight towards Lan Xuanyu. As his first soul ring lit up, a dark gold color appeared on his body and his entire body began to expand.

With a wave of his right hand, his second soul ring lit up and a dark gold battle axe appeared in his hand.

His battle axe had a short handle, but its blade was especially large. The broad blade emitted a faint cold light. Four purple and one black soul rings rose from beneath his feet. He had not broken through to the realm of a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Although Lan Xuanyu saw that he didn’t break through, he wasn’t careless at all. Even if Tang Yuge was ostracized, she was still a six-ring Soul Emperor. Sima Xian must have had a reason for being able to replace her.

Tang Yuge was still a third-year student. She didn’t tell Lan Xuanyu what Sima Xian’s abilities were, but Lan Xuanyu could guess. One against three, without some trump cards, where could Sima Xian get his confidence from?

Bing Tianliang and Yuanen Huihui released their Martial Souls as well. Yuanen Huihui pulled the Purple Star Spirit Bow in his hand, and five soul rings appeared. With the assistance of Spirit Attention, he shot an arrow straight at Sima Xian.

Sima Xian’s expression turned grave as he swung the dark gold battle axe in his hand. With a “bang”, the energy arrow was shattered.

On the other side, Bing Tianliang’s body was surrounded by lightnings as a blurry shadow appeared behind him. It was his Lightning God Puppet Martial Soul.

The distance of a hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye. Yuanen Huihui’s arrows were all blocked by Sima Xian’s battle axe, but Bing Tianliang on the other side did not try to attack at this moment. He only circled around from the sides and went behind Sima Xian.

Right at this moment, Sima Xian’s body suddenly emitted a dark gold light and his third soul ring lit up as well. He used his battle axe to block in front of him and charged brazenly towards Lan Xuanyu.

But it was also at this moment that a light flashed in Lan Xuanyu’s hand and a dark blue light suddenly blossomed in his palm. When that huge drawing polearm appeared in his hand, the audience couldn’t help but exclaim.

Back then, he had used this halberd to kill Tang Yuge and the two Black Tortoise Shield soul masters in one strike. Its terrifying ability to ignore defense had left a deep impression on all the spectators. Lan Xuanyu had relied on that battle to become famous and finally become the number one person among the first years.

Sima Xian brazenly charged towards Lan Xuanyu. The moment Lan Xuanyu released his halberd was right after he began to charge. It was also a moment where it was very difficult to stop his soul skill.

Seeing Lan Xuanyu swing his halberd towards him, Sima Xian was shocked as well. He had naturally studied Lan Xuanyu’s abilities carefully and knew that his strongest attack was this halberd. It ignored defense and was almost unbeatable in close combat. Even with his One-Word Battle Armor, he had no confidence in blocking it. However, wasn’t this supposed to consume a lot of energy when using it and thus could only last for a short period of time? And he still chose to use it right from the start?

At the same time, Sima Xian forcefully turned his body. His body had already crashed out and it was impossible for him to stop. He could only force himself to slide to the side.

However, the force of his attack was extremely ferocious. He had changed his direction and left Lan Xuanyu’s attack range. His movements were still very big and he couldn’t help but let out a groan as his bones emitted cracking sounds.

Right at this moment, Bing Tianliang, who was behind him, moved. With a flash of lightning, Bing Tianliang charged towards Sima Xian like a bolt of lightning. At this moment, he had already transformed into lightning and crashed into Sima Xian’s back.

On the other side, Yuanen Huihui naturally wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity. His third soul ring lit up and a scarlet energy arrow shot out. With Bing Tianliang attacking from behind, the two attacks arrived almost at the same time.

“Boom, boom!”

Sima Xian’s body was surrounded by flames as lightning flickered behind him. He staggered and took a few steps to the side.

However, that was all. The fire in front of him burned and tore open the elastic school uniform on his upper body, revealing his dark gold skin. Behind him, Bing Tianliang bounced up and was in the air with a surprised expression.

Sima Xian’s third soul skill had an effect of almost making invulnerable, and even if he was knocked crooked, he still had an extremely strong defense.

Yuanen Huihui’s third soul skill, the Life Subduing Fire Spirit, could still inflict some damage on him, but the lightning attack behind him didn’t cause him any injuries.

At the same time, a layer of dark gold armor quickly appeared on his joints and spread throughout his entire body. Above his head, a thick helmet covered him and there was a pair of sharp horns spiraling upwards. A terrifying aura burst forth and Sima Xian’s aura surged.

One-Word Battle Armor!

He had released his Battle Armor and extinguished the flames in front of him.

This guy’s defense was really strong!

The last time they defeated Sima Xian, they had relied on Lan Xuanyu’s Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd. The Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd disregarded defense and did not truly test Sima Xian’s defense in the later stages of the battle. But at this moment, he was actually able to block Yuanen Huihui and Bing Tianliang’s attacks so easily. It was clear how strong his defense was.

Right at this moment, Sima Xian moved. The dark gold light on his body suddenly shone brightly, and the One-Word Battle Armor on his body flickered, causing his entire body to expand even more. The battle axe in his hand suddenly made a sweeping motion. Immediately, a dark gold light formed a fan-shaped slash and swept straight towards Lan Xuanyu.

The polearm in Lan Xuanyu’s hand disappeared without a sound. The third soul ring on his left arm shone and his entire body was surrounded by green light. The first soul ring on his right arm shone and a layer of golden scales covered his entire body.

He squatted down and exerted strength in both his legs. His entire body floated backwards and was almost parallel to the ground. The dark golden light swept past his head but right at this moment, a strange scene appeared.

The light suddenly retracted, and Sima Xian, who was wielding his battle axe, disappeared from his original spot. He suddenly appeared at the spot of his axe, right above Lan Xuanyu.
