Chapter 129 – The Queen Speaks
The youth with red, cropped hair stood onstage with an arrogant expression on his face. He had a tall nose and slightly thick lips. His messy eyebrows slanted downwards, framing tiger-like eyes that exuded arrogance. Although he had a masculine appearance, he was not particularly handsome.
But his strength was not to be underestimated.
When he killed his opponent, he was clean and cruel without a moment of hesitation, like a butcher slaughtering a pig. Death didn’t seem to faze him in the least.
The crowd started to discuss the youth on the stage.
Before long, all the matches were over. To everyone’s surprise, all ten disciples from the red-haired youth’s sect had emerged victorious.
The other nine disciples stood calmly behind the red-haired youth, as if their victories had been trivial.
Li Guanqi watched them with a furrowed brow. Admittedly, their auras were much stronger than those of the Daxia Sword Sect disciples. Judging by their performance, every one of them fought clean and fast, with precise, masterful technique. Not a single fight had been dragged out.
Next to Li Guanqi, Tu Kui muttered admiringly, “They really live up to the Profound Gate Pavilion’s name. With talent like that, no wonder they’re one of the Six Pavilions.”
Li Guanqi’s thoughts drifted to the enormous cloud boat he’d seen on the way to Heavenly Tiger Pass, pulled by six stallion-type demonic beasts. As it turned out, the boat belonged to the Profound Gate Pavilion, and the powerful aura he’d sensed back then must have belonged to the red-haired youth.
Tu Kui saw Li Guanqi staring at the youth and transmitted, “He’s a prodigy who joined the Profound Gate Pavilion this year. His name is Guan Qingyun, and he has a Fire King Spirit Root. He’s very powerful.”
Li Guanqi gave a small nod but said nothing. This was his first time seeing Guan Qingyun in action, so he couldn’t gauge his odds against Guan Qingyun. However, his sect’s overall strength seemed incredible.
Meanwhile, Guan Qingyun regally swept his gaze over his surroundings, his lips curling into a smirk. He then leaped offstage with his fellow disciples.
