The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

99: Top Ten in Chapter 99“Trying to run?”

Seeing Zhao Qing retreat, Jiang Feng snorted coldly, shifted his footwork, and like a ghost, blocked him, pointing his long sword directly at his brow.

Zhao Qing’s face was pale, his legs turned soft, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

“Little Friend Jiang, I was wrong! I failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please spare my life! I promise I will never trouble you again!”

Seeing Zhao Qing’s pathetic state, Jiang Feng’s eyes were icy, devoid of any pity: “What were you doing earlier?”

The long sword fell, and a flash of blood appeared.

Seeing how clean and decisive Jiang Feng was, Jiang Chen, who was below the Battle Stage, couldn’t help but nod. This kid was worth cultivating.

At the same time, in the audience seats on the other side of the Battle Stage, the Zhao Family members were watching quietly. No one stopped Jiang Feng when he killed Zhao Qing.

“Trash! A bunch of trash!”

Seeing Jiang Feng so cleanly eliminate all their Zhao Family Clan Members in the Qi Refining Stage, Zhao Kun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with venom as he looked at the figures of Jiang Feng and his sister on the Battle Stage.

“More than twenty people at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining couldn’t even handle two little brats at the Qi Refining Twelfth Layer. They completely disgraced my Zhao Family!”

The actions of Zhao Qing and the others were not ordered by him, but he was happy to see them happen. However, the result was not what he desired.

“Your heart is unsettled.”

Beside him, Zhao Lifeng sat in his seat, resting with his eyes closed. Even when Zhao Qing and the others were all killed, he did not open his eyes to look.

Sensing Zhao Kun’s fury beside him, Zhao Lifeng spoke lightly. Only then did Zhao Kun calm his emotions.

“Yes, Father.”

Zhao Kun responded with a respectful bow.

“But Father, because of those two little rascals, all our Zhao Family participants in the Qi Refining Realm Competition have been eliminated. This is very detrimental to our Zhao Family.”

He stared intently at Jiang Feng and the other person on the Battle Stage, his fists clenching until they cracked.

“They are just a few Collateral Descendants. If they died, they died. When the time comes, we will just make the Jiang Family pay for it.”

Zhao Lifeng was indifferent, his tone still sounding completely matter-of-fact.

Jiang Feng sheathed his sword, glanced down at Zhao Qing’s fallen corpse, his eyes showing not a ripple of emotion.

On the other side, Jiang Xueqin also dealt with the last Zhao Clan Member. At this moment, she raised her hand to wipe away the blood splashed on her cheek. Although the hand holding the short sword still trembled slightly, her gaze grew increasingly firm.

On the Battle Stage, the remaining surviving Cultivators had long since steered clear, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked at Jiang Feng and his sister.

The previous massacre was too swift and ruthless. More than twenty Zhao Clan Members surrounded them, yet two mere teenagers managed to kill all of them in such a short time.

Now, Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin were like two Fiends of Misfortune to them; no one wanted to face them.

For a time, the entire Battle Stage was clearly divided: hundreds of them occupied one half of the stage, while Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin occupied the other half.

No one wanted to provoke these two Fiends of Misfortune unnecessarily.

Around the Battle Stage, some people in the crowd couldn’t help but whisper, their voices extremely low, yet they still faintly carried over.

“This Jiang Family brother and sister are too vicious; they showed no mercy when striking.”

“Vicious? Didn’t you see that group from the Zhao Family surround them first? If you ask me, this is called an eye for an eye!”

“Why are those two children so strong? Coupled with that kind of Cultivation Technique and Sword Art, they will surely secure a spot in the Top Hundred of the Qi Refining Realm.”

Amidst the discussions, some were envious, some were fearful, and some were gloating.

Of all people to offend, why offend the Zhao Family? They are an existence that people look up to.

“Why are you all just standing there? Hurry up and start. If the final hundred are not decided within half an hour, don’t blame me for eliminating the excess people myself.”

On the high platform, the voice of the Golden Core Cultivator suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable pressure.

As soon as these words were spoken, the stalemate atmosphere on the Battle Stage was instantly broken.

Someone in the crowd, unknown who, struck first. A flash of sword light slashed towards the person next to them, and a scream immediately followed.

This was like poking a hornet’s nest. The Cultivators huddled together no longer cared about being wary of Jiang Feng and his sister, and they drew their weapons against each other.

Some fought for self-preservation, others for merit. Blades and Swords Clashing fiercely across the Battle Stage once again.

Time flew by amidst the Blades and Swords Clashing. Screams echoed continuously on the Battle Stage, and the residual Spiritual Energy shook the Cold Iron Ground, making it hum.

Those Cultivators fought with bloodshot eyes, acting like madmen, completely disregarding everything else.

Some succeeded by relying on insidious sneak attacks, only to be cut down by the person behind them; some formed temporary alliances, but turned against each other when dividing the spoils, ultimately dying together.

Only the area where Jiang Feng and his sister stood remained completely peaceful.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin quietly watched the fighting. Occasionally, residual Spiritual Energy ripples drifted over, but Jiang Feng only needed to raise his hand and wave out a Sword Qi to easily dissipate them.

Those Cultivators, fighting with bloodshot eyes, even when forced into a desperate situation, preferred to rush towards densely packed crowds, absolutely daring not to step half a pace near Jiang Feng and his sister.

The scene of the Zhao Family’s twenty-plus members being completely annihilated earlier had already become a shadow in everyone’s hearts.

No one wanted to provoke these two Fiends of Misfortune unnecessarily.

The Golden Core Cultivator on the high platform had eyes like torches, occasionally sweeping across the Battle Stage, holding a Hand Sign to record the remaining number of people.

In less than half an hour, he suddenly raised his hand. A golden light shot into the sky, resounding throughout the venue: “Time is up! Stop fighting!”

The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations instantly subsided. The surviving Cultivators stopped fighting, all of them panting heavily, covered in blood, and vigilantly staring at the people around them.

At this moment, there were exactly one hundred people on the entire stage, no more, no less.

The Golden Core Cultivator flicked his finger, and a hundred Jade Tokens engraved with numbers floated in the air. His voice boomed:

“Each of you take a Jade Token. Those with the same number will be opponents. The winners advance to the Top Fifty, and the losers are eliminated!”

The Cultivators stepped forward to take the tokens. Jiang Feng and Jiang Xueqin each took one, numbers thirty-seven and sixty-three, respectively.

The duels quickly began. Under the control of the Golden Core Cultivator, the Battle Stage was divided into fifty small Fighting Platforms, and those with the same number stepped up to fight.

Jiang Feng’s opponent was a burly man at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. He held a Giant Axe and possessed a fierce Aura, but as soon as they exchanged blows, he was suppressed by Jiang Feng and knocked off the stage in a single move.

Jiang Xueqin’s opponent was even weaker, having a cultivation base at the Eighth Level of Qi Refining. He barely managed to endure two moves before throwing down his sword and admitting defeat.

In the following rounds of duels, the brother and sister both achieved quick victories, advancing like a hot knife through butter into the Top Twenty.

In the final round to determine the Top Ten, Jiang Feng faced Wang Hu, who was at the Peak of the Tenth Level of Qi Refining.

This was the first time he had faced a Tenth Level of Qi Refining Cultivator. It seemed he should not underestimate the Cultivators outside.

Wang Hu held a Wolf Fang Mace. His Spiritual Energy was dense, and he launched a fierce attack immediately. The strong wind generated by the Wolf Fang Mace stung people’s skin.

Although he was wary of Jiang Feng having killed the Zhao Family members earlier, for the sake of advancing, and because he himself possessed the Tenth Level of Qi Refining Realm, he didn’t think he would lose.

Jiang Feng remained calm, operating the Heaven and Earth Profound Origin Art. A dark black light enveloped his sword body, and his sword moves were tricky and fierce. He fought Wang Hu for more than ten rounds.

Finally, Jiang Feng spotted an opening, used his sword to send Wang Hu’s Wolf Fang Mace flying, and pressed the tip of his sword against Wang Hu’s throat, stating lightly, “You lose.”

Wang Hu’s face flushed red. He roared unwillingly, but could only concede defeat.

At the same time, Jiang Xueqin also defeated her opponent, firmly securing a spot in the Top Ten.

The Golden Core Cultivator loudly announced the list of the Top Ten. Thunderous applause erupted below the stage, but only at the Zhao Family seats was Zhao Kun’s face livid, his fists clenching until they cracked.
