Evil Emperor his wild consort (Regular Updates)

Cheating

That also meant that in the subsequent rounds of the competition, one win or a loss doesn't really count for much. Only the team with the most accumulated points will become the champions of the Trials!

This caused a lot of added pressure to the crowd and they grew increasingly anxious.

Soon, the City Governor's servants began to hand out tokens to every organization. As the Dongfang Family was in first place during the elimination round, they got the first number, followed by the Dark Yin Palace and the Medicine Order.

As for the Gu Family, they were in the sixth place — the last place!

When he received his number, Gu Ling's expression turned into a particularly ugly shade as he glared at the Dongfang Family with gloom and ferocity.

"Hmph, that was merely an elimination round. You guys can have it! Next time, my Gu Family will fiercely devastate your Dongfang Family! I'll make you understand the consequences of sheltering a person who belongs to me!"

No matter what, he wanted to destroy the Dongfang Family in the competition so that they would understand that he was not the kind of person who should be provoked.

"Seeing as everyone has already received their numbers, then let the Trials officially begin. Allow me to first introduce the teams!" The City Governor glanced at the crowd before him and let out a dry cough, "Number 1 will go up against number 3, number 2 will go up against number 4, and number 5 against number 6! All teams mentioned shall send one representative to participate in the competition. Now, you may all discuss on whom you wish to send as a representative then write it on a piece of paper and hand it to me."

There were three arenas in the plaza. In order to save time, all six team members will be put through the Trials at the same time. Of course, in order to ensure a fair match, the teams will not be allowed to know the opposition's chosen representative! At the same time, members who have already competed were not allowed to enter any subsequent matches!

However, no one expected the Dongfang Family to go up against the Medicine Order so soon.

"Guess, who do you think will win this round?"

"It goes without saying that it's going to be the Medicine Order without a doubt. Based on the Medicine Order's powers, they cannot lose!"

"I think so too. The Dongfang Family cannot be compared with the Medicine Order."

The crowd shook their heads, obviously looking down on the Dongfang Family.

Meanwhile, in the Dongfang Family team, Dongfang Changjin turned towards the group and asked, "We'll be going against the Medicine Order in the first round. Who amongst you is willing to go first?"

"Elder, l will go."

Hearing this, Qingyun quickly stood up and said, "I am willing to fight the Medicine Order."

"Alright."

Dongfang Changjin paused in silence, then nodded her head, "Qingyun, your powers are at the rank of a high-level Martial King. It would be safer for you to go. Hence, you shall represent us in the match against the Medicine Order. Furthermore, you must be careful. If you really cannot go on, admit defeat."

"Don't worry, Elder. I won't lose!"

How many years has it been?

How many years has it been where the Dongfang Family was forfeited in the elimination round?

All of this has been due to the machinations of the Medicine Order!

Now, with great difficulty, we finally have the chance to vent our frustrations. I will not give up!

Soon, the other teams finished choosing their respective representatives and the eyes of the crowd slowly drew their attention to the arena.

Rongyue observed Qingyun who was making his way on to the arena and a peculiar glint flashed across her eyes, "The Dongfang Family is sending him? Since that's the case, Qingling will not lose."

...

In the arena, Qingling's disdainful gaze swept towards the man's face and laughed scornfully, "Qingyun, we meet again. What? You, a warrior vanquished by my hand, would actually have the guts to fight with me? Are you not afraid of me beating you like a dog once again?"

Qingyun's expression changed, "That was last year. This time, I won't lose to you."

"A defeated opponent is a defeated opponent, nothing will ever change that fact."

Qingling sneered and without warning, an aura burst from her entire body!

If this was the mid-level Martial King Qingyun, he would be cowering in fear under my coercion, she thought. And then I will have the opportunity to trample all over him. Of course, this time should be no different!

But just as her aura burst towards Qingyun, another burst of energy which was not her own erupted from the other's body. Upon feeling the strong coercion, Qingling's face changed greatly and she cried out with an ugly expression on her face, "A high-level Martial King! You've had a breakthrough!"

If I remember correctly, Qingyun seemed to have been stuck as a mid-level Martial King for the longest time, she thought. I didn't think that he would have his breakthrough before the Divine Trials!

"Qingyun, do you think that you can defeat me just because you've broken through to the rank of a high-level Martial King? Stop dreaming, I will never lose to you!"

Bang!

The aura from both sides clashed and dispersed throughout the surrounding area, causing the both of them to stumble a few steps back.

Qingling drew her sword and with a magnificent flash of the blade and the light of the sword came piercing towards Qingyun. Then, with one quick wave of her sword, countless rays from the sword shot towards Qingyun like a meteor rain.

Qingyun leaped back to dodge the attack and just as he retreated, the rays from the sword fell onto the arena, carving out endless deep crevices on the ground. They were so deep that it was absolutely shocking.

"Qingling, previously my powers were no match for yours so I had to suffer your humiliation. Now, I will no longer give you any chance to humiliate me! Give me an explosion!"

Qingyun pointed a finger at Qingling and suddenly a golden light shot out from his fingertip. A deafening thunderbolt exploded towards Qingling. But just as the golden ray of light fell, Qingling had already dodged its attack.

Boom!

A loud, blaring sound was heard!

At the same time, a large hole was chiseled into the place where Qingling had once stood, drawing the attention of the rest of the spectators.

Qingling's expression turned into an extremely ugly shade. She had never anticipated that she would not be able to get rid of her opponent so quickly! She'll never live this down!

"Qingyun, initially I had not wanted to attack you too brutally on account of the fact that we were old acquaintances. Unfortunately, you are far too insensitive. If you could only stand there quietly and remain still, wouldn't that have been much better for you? Yet you stubbornly insist on opposing me. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being vicious and merciless!"

In Qingling's eyes, this Qingyun was nothing but an idiotic moron! If only he could have stayed obediently still, I might even have spared his life, she thought. Yet he stupidly insists on fighting back! This was simply the act of committing a foolish crime!

Alright then!

Since he's insisting on being that way, then I will show no mercy!

In the judges' box, Bai Xiangtian wrinkled his brow as he observed the arena and calmly declared, "The Dongfang Family will lose this round."

"What makes you think so?"

The Honorable Sir Tianqi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"It's easy. Qingling has already broken through to the rank of a high-level Martial king long ago but the Dongfang boy has only reached that rank just a few days ago. So, it would seem that he hasn't accumulated enough stamina. Even though he may be able to defend himself with a few techniques, his spiritual energy will soon deplete and he will soon fall into a losing end!"

While both sides seemed to be evenly matched, some could already tell that Qingyun was at a disadvantage. Especially since he'd only just had his breakthrough, and doesn't have enough control over his powers within this new rank. So, obviously, he was no match for Qingling.
