As the daughter of the head of the alliance, Song Jingyun had been well-known for her smartness since her childhood. Such a situation could never baffle her. She smiled sweetly.
“I have a suggestion. Since the two sides disagree with each other, how about choosing either of the two controversial members in Disha to have a contest with one from Drinking Blood? If the former wins, then the two controversial members must be powerful enough and the two groups can undertake the high-level task altogether. What do you think?”
Dao Ge would never disagree with his fiancée.
Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows and said emotionlessly.
“Since your father is the head of the alliance, everything you say is right. Let’s just follow your suggestion.”
Hearing such words, Song Junyun was a little embarrassed. Dao Ge gave Yan Jiu a hostile glare. How could he be so annoying?
Song Jingyun looked quite demure and her suggestion seemed to be good for the two mercenary groups. However, Yan Jiu felt that what she said only made her a hypocrite.
It was by no means a fair contest.
The reason was that Yan Jiu was the same person as Song Jingyun and had a similar way of thinking. Yan Jiu was much more sophisticated than the little girl Song Jingyun, though.
Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were both in the Dan Realm. The weakest person in Drinking Blood, Hong Yulang, was in Dayuan Dan Realm and the others were masters in the Reincarnation Realm. Such a contest was quite unfair.
“Let me give it a go.” Ye Lingyue was originally more powerful than Lan Cai’er and she had actually reached the Reincarnation Realm.
Ye Lingyue also noticed that Lan Cai’er was not in a good state when Dao Ge and Song Jingyun were present.
Lan Cai’er looked at Ye Lingyue with gratitude.
Dao Ge did not like Ye Lingyue, but he did not want to take advantage of her.
When choosing a person from Drinking Blood, Dao Ge looked at Hong Yulang and then Bo Qing. By rights, Dao Ge should select Hong Yulang when the rival was a woman in the Dan Realm. However, it would make Bo Qing unhappy if something happened to Hong Yulang since they two had been staying together all the time recently.
Eventually, Dao Ge picked out Xia Qing. She was a warrior in the first level of reincarnation and also the weakest one in Drinking Blood except Hong Yulang.
“In order to avoiding hurting anyone, the contest will be won by whoever first grabs the weapon of the rival.” Song Jingyun served as the referee and stood between Ye Lingyue and Xia Qing.
When Ye Lingyue walked out, Bo Qing and Hong Yulang kept looking at her.
Bo Qing felt that Black Moon was quite similar to Hong Shisan in facial features the first time when he saw the girl.
Hong Yulang felt that the ugly girl was somewhat similar to his enemy Ye Lingyue.
“Ugly monster, today I will knock you down.” Xia Qing said with pride and then used her Yuan energy with her jade-like slim fingers. There appeared a ray of golden light on her elaborately polished fingernails which then grew several chi (a unit of length equaling 1/3 meter） longer. This made her hands look like ghost claws.
It turned out that Xia Qing went through the golden tribulation of reincarnation. After her fingernails gathered the power of gold, her hands would turn into ghost claws. The martial skill which helped her established her fame and status was a Level-6 one called Hell Winds Ghost Claws.
On the two ghost claws, the gold was mixed with indigo gas. Obviously, the claws were poisonous.
Ye Lingyue did not take out any weapon.
It seemed that she would fight with the rival with bare hands.
Wu Chong and Lan Cai’er from the group of Disha looked quite calm while the annoying guy Yan Jiu showed extreme caution.
Lan Cai’er had seen Ye Lingyue fighting with Hong Mingyue. Ye Lingyue could defeat such a genius as Hong Mingyue in one move, let alone a small figure like Xia Qing.
However, Lan Cai’er made the wrong guess this time.
Xia Qing might be less talented than Hong Mingyue, but she was not a follower of the general sect like Hong Mingyue but a female mercenary soldier.
In the very beginning, Xia Qing had used the fiercest move. She was pretty sure that Black Moon had little contest experience as a green-handed soldier.
There were 10 rays of golden light and Xia Qing dashed out like a flash of lightning, pointing her 10 fingers at Ye Lingyue’s chest. She seemed to fear nothing.
The ugly woman with a pitch-black face had such a good figure.
Xia Qing got so close and Ye Lingyue looked stern. Ye did not even need to evade if she used the spiritual energy. But now she was regarded as a warrior only.
Seeing that Ye was not about to avoid the attack, Xia Qing looked joyful. Her claws were going to tear open Ye’s chest.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue shook slightly at this moment. Just by moving several cun (a unit of length equaling 1/3 decimeter), she perfectly avoided the fatal attack of Xia Qing.
Wu Chong, Yan Jiu, Bo Qing and Dao Ge were all shocked by Ye Lingyue’s move.
As masters among masters, they had already realized that Ye Lingyue’s move looked common but was truly fantastic.
Only old mercenary soldiers could make it. Then how could a green-handed soldier make such a strange move?
No one knew that this move was based on countless times of injury.
When going through the First Grade Heaven and Earth Tribulation, Ye Lingyue was hurt many times by Evil Spirit soldiers. After killing thousands of such soldiers, she finally learned the move today.
Seeing that Ye Lingyue had evaded the attack of the claws, Xia Qing was in shock. But the shock did not last long. Soon she gave a back thrust by targeting her claws at Ye Lingyue’s throat.
Just at this time, Ye Lingyue’s hands hanging aside finally moved.
She turned her fingertips and only extremely observant people could see that there were several extremely thin needles hidden among her fingers.
Ye Lingyue moved her body in a strange manner.
Then she appeared behind the weakest part of Xia Qing’s back. With a puff, she moved all her 10 fingers altogether.
Xia Qing just felt many parts of her body going numb, as if some small worms were biting her.
At this moment, Xia Qing heard something like a mosquito buzzing near her ear.
“Congratulations to you on being the first one to experience the 4th one of all 13 needles of our Ghost Sect.”
Before she was able to figure out the meaning of such words, Xia Qing suddenly felt great changes taking place in the Yuan energy inside her body.
The Yuan energy gathered in her pubic region grew out of control in an instant. A mass of Yuan energy seemed like a blazing fire that could not be controlled.
Losing control over the Yuan energy, Xia Qing turned pale. At this time, Ye Lingyue laughed scornfully and took out the Star Yan knife on her leg. With clangs, the 10 long fingernails which Xia Qing used her golden power to form were cut down altogether by Ye Lingyue.
