Chapter 1286: Invincible At East Radiance
“Six quarter of the Mo Hour[1], the Six Hidden Dragon Brigands ganged up on the Mad Lord and fought him for thirty minutes. The battle ended with four of the Six Hidden Dragon Brigands dead, and the remaining two escaping in pitiful states...”
“First quarter of the Kun Hour[2], the twenty-third warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking, the ‘Dragonroar Spear’ Li Chaolong of the Sea Horizon Pavilion, challenged the Mad Lord. They fought for an hour before the Mad Lord ultimately ended the battle with a Break Hammer that destroyed Li Chaolong’s Thirty Six Azure Dragon Sea Upending Spears and elicited a surrender.”
“Second quarter of the You Hour[3], the twentieth warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking, the ‘Tiger Might Wisdom King’ Venerable Bhante Hu Chan of White Horse Temple, challenged the Mad Lord. Standing still, they agreed to a contest of strength where anyone who moves the other person first within three punches wins. The first two exchanges ended in a stalemate. During the last exchange, Venerable Bhante Hu Chan manifested his Wisdom King True Body, and the Mad Lord his Earthly Sovereign True Body. When they clashed for the last time, Venerable Bhante Hu Chan fell into the clouds, and the Mad Lord shook three times on his feet. The entire East Radiance Mountain shook from the exchange, but the Mad Lord’s feet ultimately did not move an inch. So, the Mad Lord won!”
“The third quarter of the You Hour[4], the Four Evil Kings of Nine Nethers—Mountain Demon, Demonic Evil, Sprite Ghost, and Fairy Soul—attacked the Mad Lord together. After manifesting his Earthly Sovereign True Body, the Mad Lord froze Mountain Demon with a Suppression Hammer, wounded Demonic Evil with a Break Hammer, and killed Sprite Ghost and Fairy Soul with an Annihilation Hammer. In summary, he killed two of the Four Evil Kings, injured one, and scared off the last. They came like wolves and ran away like dogs.”
“The fourth quarter of the You Hour[5], no one dares to set foot in the arena!”
“The fifth quarter of the You Hour[6], the eighteenth warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking, Baili Dongling the ‘Wine Celestial’ of True Martial Sect, challenged the Mad Lord. The Wine Celestial poured out three rivers’ worth of water from his wine gourd to flood the Mad Lord, but the Mad Lord intercepted it with a Divide before halting it completely with one arm. The battle was still ongoing when suddenly, the Sea Burning Yaksha of the Corpse King Sect, ambushed the Mad Lord. Both enraged, the Wine Celestial and the Mad Lord joined hands to grievously injure the Sea Burning Yaksha and drive him away. Later, the Wine Celestial swallowed the wine river he created and sang, “Humanity has many delights, but none are as good as a gourd of wine. Why stay? Why stay?” He left after that, leaving their battle undecided.”
......
Who would have thought that one East Radiance meet; one heroes’ arena was enough to draw all these wulin heroes, clan geniuses, and heretical villains out into the open? The participation of these legendary champions of the Earth Champions Ranking made the heroes’ arena one of the most exciting events to grace the jianghu in a long time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a once-in-a-century event.
While the appearances of these Earth Champions Ranking’s elites were certainly astounding and pleasing, none were as delightful as the Mad Lord, Ye Qing himself.
After all, despite singlehandedly challenging the greatest the jianghu had to offer, the man had not experienced a single defeat yet. Not even the top thirty Half-Sages—most of them either famous veterans of the wulin or terrifying titans of the Dark Ways—and emerged victorious. It was also worth mentioning that not all of his fights were one-on-ones, nor had he taken a single long break so far. On occasion, he had defeated multiple of them and in a row as a Great Grandmaster, creating legend after legend like they were free.
To make a comparison, if Ye Qing’s killing of Yin Wufa was a legendary feat that had not been seen for the past couple centuries, then his consecutive victories over the top-thirty Half-Sages as a Great Grandmaster was a godlike myth that had not happened in the jianghu for the past several millennia.
