Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1025: One Strike Kill

The other three elders outside looked at the shattered clouds in silence. They revere the Grand Elder precisely because of his god-like power. Every time they witness it, it fills them with awe.

”This level of power,” Xun Youi said, frowning. Having spent a long time in the Central Plains, he knows very well what this power signifies.

”Really want to give it a try,” Dian Wei said, holding a leg of lamb, taking a couple of bites then pausing as he gazed at the enormous hole blasted in the clouds. With his vision, he could naturally see that the opponent was an exceptional master.

”Looks like it’s tough for Meng Qi,” Pang De said with a wry smile, squatting on a distant hill. Anyway, with his eyesight, several kilometers make no difference; he could see extremely clearly.

”I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but didn’t expect this...” Ma Chao said with a smack of his lips, yet without much fear. The lightning glow in his eyes was constantly trembling. He was already excited, facing such a powerful opponent.

”So this is the Grand Elder of the Qiang Clan?” Yano Xing clutched his refined iron long spear tightly, a flash of amazement passing in his eyes. Compared to the Grand Elder’s power, as someone also capable of Inner Qi Manifestation, he felt comparatively weak.

”I’ll go,” Ma Chao said, directly flying into the center of the field after the Grand Elder backed off. ”The position of King of Qiang may be useless to me, but I need to prove myself. Those who desire the throne, come on!”

Ma Chao’s arrogant tone made the impulsive Qiang warriors rush out, a brave warrior wielding a great axe directly charged towards Ma Chao.

”Pochi!” With a light sound, Ma Chao’s long spear pierced the great axe, stopping just before the neck of the Qiang warrior. The opponent’s impulsive blood cooled down sharply under the cold glint of the spear tip.

”Next one!” Ma Chao flicked the long spear and directly sent the Qiang warrior back, but using a Soft Force, so there was no injury.

Ma Chao knew very well what he was there for; while he could still control it, he wouldn’t hit hard. But once he couldn’t control it, he would declare that the subsequent battle he would give his all.

Ma Chao’s battle was exceptionally fast. Though top-tier masters are few in Xiliang, second-rate ones are as abundant as cattle, but not a single master could withstand one move from Ma Chao.

”Ma Chao’s momentum seems to be taking shape,” Dian Wei said, frozen, as he looked at Ma Chao in the field, indeed not expecting that under such suppressed partial strength, Ma Chao gradually fought with increasing bravery.

After knocking down more than seventy brave warriors, the initial jeers completely disappeared. Their gazes at Ma Chao held a trace of solemnity.

All those who participate in this selection are under twenty-four, and among them, only Ma Chao has reached this level. Though from the perspective of the Qiang chiefs, Ma Chao absolutely has no hope of becoming King of Qiang, the strength he displayed was already adequate to become the next generation elder.

”Bang!” After realizing Ma Chao hadn’t moved a step despite consecutive victories over seventy warriors, the Third Elder confirmed Ma Chao’s strength reached Inner Qi Separation. However, in his view, based on Ma Chao’s age, even if he broke through, the strength couldn’t be overly formidable, so he directly leaped out.

”Kid, you are indeed formidable, but you are not of our Qiang Clan. Don’t blame me for being ruthless,” the Third Elder said, assuming a senior demeanor, looking at Ma Chao in radiant attire after landing.

”Cut the crap, fight!” Ma Chao said with a cold smile, standing still watching the opponent. From the previous actions of his leap, Ma Chao clearly understood the opponent hadn’t reached Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, and next, he intended to use this elder’s blood to intimidate everyone, then directly open the final battle for King of Qiang selection!

Although there was only a thin layer of Cloud Qi, Ma Chao was well aware even so, flying isn’t something ordinary Inner Qi Separation can achieve. As for the actions of the previous Grand Elder, upon standing in the middle of the venue, Ma Chao realized that one was not as terrifying as he thought.

The Cloud Qi in the center of the venue was very thin, but even so, it wasn’t easy for the Grand Elder to directly explode Inner Qi and destroy clouds, consuming considerable Inner Qi, and this was Ma Chao’s chance.

”Humph, kid, be careful, don’t lose your life!” the Third Elder warned with a cold smile, already harboring killing intent, whether due to resentment or Ma Chao’s actions, igniting his fury.

”Being killed in the King of Qiang’s selection field can only mean one is too weak!” Ma Chao said with a cold smile.

Meanwhile, Ma Chao slowly mobilized the Power of Thunder and Lightning within his body, though seeming motionless, every function in his body had reached its peak. He must not waste time letting the Grand Elder recover, nor face four Inner Qi Separation at once, especially since there’s also a master of Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation, and one hidden among the crowd who hasn’t acted yet—Yano Xing.

”Mountain Shattering!” the Third Elder roared angrily, gripping his great axe tightly, charging straight at Ma Chao, transforming himself into an ebony streak with a hint of silver radiance.

Clad in silver armor, Ma Chao seemed frozen in place with fear, while the Third Elder’s ferocious expression grew larger in Ma Chao’s eyes, until reaching a critical point—then Ma Chao’s right hand moved, the long spear with blue-white glow striking towards the Third Elder as swiftly as thunder.

A light ”bang” sound, followed by a thunderous rumble. After clods and ice shards scattered and fell, Ma Chao still stood in place, at his feet was only a headless corpse dressed in black clothes, and ahead of the corpse was a hundred-meter long enormous trench, with Ma Chao standing beside it, serene and graceful.

With a kick, he shoved the anonymous corpse aside, looked towards the other few elders’ direction and said, ”Come together, there are still slots for more than twenty in the King of Qiang battle. Those wanting to block me, come!”

”Nice job!” Pang De from afar almost jumped with joy upon seeing this scene, Ma Chao had already become so strong he could only look up to him.

”Ma Chao is indeed a genius!” Xun Youi standing beside Dian Wei said slowly, though his seemingly smiling eyes concealed a hint of gloom.

Dian Wei, at this moment, gulped down the remaining meat on the lamb leg, chewed a few times before swallowing, then stood up and said, ”Strategist, this isn’t genius, this is a strongman, he’s already a strongman.”

Xun Youi was stunned, looking at Dian Wei with a grave expression, couldn’t help but laugh. He suddenly realized that in this matter, his understanding was not clearer than Dian Wei’s, the opponent wasn’t just a genius anymore but indeed a real strongman.

With the Third Elder killed in one move, all Qiang people fell silent, then looked at Ma Chao with a hint of fervor. If one were to speak of anyone closest to the position of King of Qiang since the Hundred Qiang battles began, it was certainly Ma Chao! (To be continued.
