All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 279: Invincible Against Invincible (1)

There were quite a few spectators for this battle. Thunder Lord, Wind Lord, and others had already appeared outside the arena. Baizhi and the Holy Maiden were also quietly staying to the side. The Winged Race’s Great Elder still had a look of confidence, believing that no matter who the opponent was, Tianxian would not lose.

“Senior Alchemy Daoist, I heard that Tianxian’s opponent this time is a woman? True heroes come in all forms,” the Winged Race’s Great Elder said politely.

The Alchemy Daoist nodded. “I didn’t expect that girl to agree to fight either.” The Valley Master of Azure Crane Valley, Yan Baifeng, had already returned a few days ago. Based on Huang Xueqing’s personality, she wouldn’t have normally intervened in this challenge, but she still chose to fight. As for the reason, among those present, probably only Holy Maiden Lixi had guessed it.

The crowd didn’t wait long before Tianxian, who had been standing on the arena early, welcomed his opponent – Huang Xueqing.

Unlike usual, today Huang Xueqing wasn’t wearing a veil. Her eyebrows were thin as willows, the curved tips slightly raised as if carrying a hint of pride. Her crystal-like eyes were like two black gems, sparkling with the light of wisdom, containing the spirit of youth. Her long nose bridge was tall and handsome, the slightly upturned tip revealing her lively temperament. Her face was delicate, like a lotus rising from water, exquisite and flawless. Her skin was white as snow, seeming to be able to pinch out water. That kind of extremely pure white complexion was like peach blossoms in spring, full of tempting glamour. Her beautiful hair cascaded like a waterfall, black and shiny, as delicate and smooth as black velvet. A few strands fell loose on her forehead. A fairy of a hundred flowers, a spirit of spring, peerlessly beautiful yet not giving people a sense of pressure.

Completely different from Holy Maiden Lixi’s sanctity, Baizhi’s cute playfulness, and Gong Xiaoyu’s mature charm, Huang Xueqing gave more of a feeling of gentle elegance. Just looking at her, one seemed to be able to feel the spring breeze coming.

Looking at Huang Xueqing on the arena, Holy Maiden Lixi clenched her fists. This woman posed quite a threat to her. Although she was also considered a peerless beauty, in terms of appearance alone, among the younger generation, probably only Yunyao could be on par with her.

Feng Bulang had left the Academy City after recovering from his injuries, missing this battle. Yu Xuanyi had been taken back home by his clan’s elder to stabilize his realm. As for Liu Zhaoran, after losing to Tianxian, he was said to have gone to the Chasing Sun Ancient Kingdom to continue improving his strength. After losing to Tianxian, the always proud Fan Longyu had also left early to return to the Sleeping Dragon Kingdom, deeply digging into the opportunities within his body.

“Another peerless beauty. I didn’t expect the women of the Human Race to be not inferior to the women of my Winged Race at all. It’s just that the men of the Human Race are not pleasing to the eye in both strength and appearance. It’s a pity that the ancestral rules are there,” Tianxian couldn’t help sighing. On this trip to the mortal world, he had seen too many peerless beauties, not inferior to the Winged Race women known for their beauty. Unfortunately, the Winged Race did not allow their bloodline to flow out. These women also had extraordinary identities and statuses, so he couldn’t possibly take them away. He could only lament in secret. However, Tianxian was not the kind of person who was obsessed with beauty and lost in lust. After all, as a member of the Winged Race, there was no shortage of stunning women within the clan.

“But now I’m even more curious. I heard that Yunyao is also extremely beautiful. I wonder how she compares to the woman in front of me.” Tianxian couldn’t help thinking.

“Still distracted while fighting me?” Huang Xueqing said indifferently. The reason she was willing to fight was actually to test Tianxian’s strength, to draw out all his techniques. If he really went looking for Zhanyue later, Zhanyue would also be prepared. Of course, others didn’t know these thoughts.

“Since you’re in a hurry, let’s begin. I won’t hold back just because you’re a woman.” Tianxian knew that the woman in front of him definitely had extraordinary strength. After all, he had already defeated Fan Longyu, yet she still dared to accept his challenge, indicating that she was probably not weaker than Fan Longyu. The Human Race indeed had many heavenly geniuses.

Tianxian directly spread his wings and flew into the air. Feathers burning with cyan heavenly fire shot towards Huang Xueqing.

However, Huang Xueqing waved her hand, and three layers of protective shields appeared around her body. Her face was solemn, not underestimating this Winged Race genius at all.

Those feathers, like a storm, easily broke through the first layer of the shield, then pierced the second layer, and were finally stopped by the third layer.

“Huang Xueqing’s defensive techniques are truly amazing. The move that defeated Feng Bulang couldn’t even break through her defense,” the spectators couldn’t help sighing. In the previous battles of geniuses, Huang Xueqing’s strength had not been fully drawn out. Below the arena, the Holy Maiden also stared at Huang Xueqing with a pair of beautiful eyes. Before entering the Heavenly Book World, she knew she was not Huang Xueqing’s match, but now it was uncertain.

“What a pity. Before entering the Heavenly Book Trial, Huang Xueqing was at the peak of the Sun Profound Realm. After coming out, she’s still at this realm and hasn’t broken through to the Spirit God Realm,” the Wind Lord said with some regret. You should know that Huang Xueqing was the person most likely to break the record of the youngest Spirit God Realm held by the Illumination Goddess. It was just that the benefits brought to her by the Heavenly Book Trial didn’t seem to be in terms of realm.

“Breaking through to the Spirit God Realm also requires opportunity and coincidence. That girl Mi Hongchen has been stuck at the peak of the Sun Profound Realm for so many years and still hasn’t broken through. And that little girl Gong Xiaoyu also made no progress in the Kingdom of a Thousand Beauties for a long time, but broke through after coming to the Academy City. Opportunity, it still comes down to opportunity,” the Alchemy Daoist sighed. If Gong Xiaoyu were present, she would definitely feel extremely embarrassed, after all, that kind of opportunity was really… a bit hard to say out loud.

“Good technique!” Tianxian’s face revealed a hint of joy. This opponent was really not bad. A Winged Race phantom appeared behind him – it was the Winged Race Statue. The statue chopped down from the sky with a hand blade, directly shattering the last layer of the shield like glass.

Huang Xueqing naturally wouldn’t have just these few techniques. Below her, a nine-grade lotus platform appeared. On her forehead, a cyan lotus also appeared. She stood on the lotus platform, like the most sacred god or buddha.

“Hmm? Why does this woman have innate buddha nature?” The figure of the Ascetic Monk appeared at some unknown time beside the crowd.

“Greetings, Senior.” The crowd all bowed, including the Winged Race’s Great Elder who didn’t dare to be rude to the Ascetic Monk. After all, this Ascetic Monk was someone even their elder was wary of.

“No need for that.” The Ascetic Monk’s thoughts were completely on Huang Xueqing. “No wonder this woman has an aura of compassion for the world, she actually has such buddha nature.” The Ascetic Monk sighed with emotion. He knew that Huang Xueqing didn’t even know what a buddha was.

Back then, when Zhanyue first mastered the Eyes of Strong Desire, he almost lost control. It was Huang Xueqing who used the cyan lotus on her forehead in conjunction with the “Great Luo Cyan Lotus Heart-Calming Chant” to restore Zhanyue’s rationality and help him master the Eyes of Strong Desire. Zhanyue and Huang Xueqing didn’t know that this power had some connection with Buddhism.

A lotus flower appeared in Huang Xueqing’s palm, the same one as the lotus platform below her. It then flew into the sky and collided with the huge phantom in the sky. Instantly, everyone felt terrifying energy ripples appear in the air. That Winged Race Heavenly Statue was actually shattered by a lotus flower.

“So powerful!” The crowd couldn’t help sighing at Huang Xueqing’s techniques. On this trip to the Heavenly Book Trial, the reward for the second mission was this mysterious lotus platform.

“This woman may be able to comprehend my ‘Lotus Step’.” The Ascetic Monk’s eyes glowed. He had been searching for a successor for countless years, and today he finally had some gains.

“Good technique, good technique.” Tianxian also stopped holding back and once again transformed into a mysterious form, his entire body like quicksilver!

“So this is your trump card?” Huang Xueqing didn’t dare to be careless. The light from the cyan lotus on her forehead intensified.
