The Sword God of the Universe-Chapter 886: Capture a City First

Setting up the formation, both parties began to send out the first contestants.

After a simple draw, Jade Book Sect sent out the first contestant, which was slightly advantageous for the Chu Family.

The first person to walk to the center of the square from Jade Book Sect was a young male Martial Artist dressed in a dark gold long robe. He stood in the middle and gazed towards the Chu Family crowd.

Chu Xianlie and several commanders of the Chu Family gathered together for a brief discussion.

Chu Xianlie and others knew a bit about the first young Martial Artist from Jade Book Sect, knowing that he was a very fierce Dao Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artist.

"Chu Qingyao, you go!" Chu Xianlie said to Chu Qingyao.

After consulting with several deputy commanders, they decided to let Chu Qingyao go first. Chu Qingyao’s strength was undoubtedly very strong. The first match must be won at any cost. If the first match is lost, the next two matches will be very passive. Letting Chu Qingyao go is more secure than Huang Yishan.

Although Huang Yishan’s strength was also very strong, he was slightly weaker compared to Chu Qingyao. When Huang Yishan and Chu Qingyao fought, the chance of winning was roughly seventy to thirty. Neither dared to claim certain victory, but Chu Qingyao’s winning rate was higher.

"Yes!" Chu Qingyao naturally did not reject.

She responded and walked out without hesitation, quickly arriving at the stage, standing opposite the young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe.

"Tsk tsk, the Chu Family’s first contestant turned out to be a woman!"

"Alas, defeating a woman is not very interesting!" The young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe said, shaking his head with a playful look at Chu Qingyao.

"It’s not interesting to defeat a woman, but if you get defeated by a woman, it would be very interesting." Chu Qingyao chuckled.

The young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe’s face darkened, "Chu Qingyao, I know you. Humph, do you think you can beat me?"

"Whether I can beat you or not, we shall see." Chu Qingyao drew her weapon.

"Let’s begin the first match!" Lu Chen waved his hand and shouted loudly.

With Lu Chen’s voice, Chu Qingyao and the other instantly engaged in intense combat.

Both were experienced Dao Emperor Realm Peak Martial Artists, with very little difference in strength. It was unlikely that they could determine the winner in a short time.

During the fierce battle between Chu Qingyao and the opponent, Chu Xianlie and others couldn’t help but feel tense.

Today’s competition was about the mining rights of a new mineral source. If Chu Qingyao were to lose, the Chu Family might lose hope. Chu Xianlie and others knew that the first contestant from Jade Book Sect was definitely not the strongest among the three chosen.

"Chu Qingyao, you must win!" Chu Xianlie and others shouted in their hearts.

Jing Yan’s gaze was fixed on the two battling in the arena.

"The strength difference between these two is very small, their Martial Arts and weapons are also quite similar in power," Jing Yan said aloud.

"Jing Yan, who do you think will win in the end?" Fang Ruoyu asked, looking at Jing Yan.

"From the current situation, Chu Qingyao has a better chance. The young man seems to be somewhat overconfident in the battle, trying to showcase his abilities, sometimes he should conserve his Primordial Energy slightly, but he isn’t doing that," Jing Yan replied.

"So the opponent’s Primordial Energy consumption will be more than Chu Qingyao’s?" Fang Ruoyu’s eyes lit up.

"Yes! If everything goes as expected, Chu Qingyao should be able to defeat him," Jing Yan nodded.

The two in the arena were fighting fiercely, their Primordial Energy was depleting rapidly. After less than an hour of combat, as Jing Yan had predicted, the young Martial Artist from the opposing side began to show signs of defeat as his Primordial Energy waned.

But he clearly wasn’t willing to accept defeat.

During one collision, he directly took out a special Spiritual Artifact, attempting to reverse the situation and possibly defeat Chu Qingyao.

But Chu Qingyao, being a member of the Second Grade Force, naturally had some critical measures up her sleeve. When the young Martial Artist used his special Spiritual Artifact, Chu Qingyao responded decisively and confronted him.

The young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe ultimately couldn’t withstand Chu Qingyao. In his furious roars, Chu Qingyao found an opportunity to strike him out of the stage.

Being struck out of the stage meant he had lost the match, even if he could still fight, the result was determined.

"Damn it!" the young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe roared unwillingly.

He wanted to rush back onto the stage.

"You’ve already lost. If you still want to fight me, I’m happy to oblige, but not on the stage," Chu Qingyao sneered at him.

"You..." the young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe gritted his teeth, glaring at Chu Qingyao.

Although Chu Qingyao was well-known in the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering place, being defeated by a woman still felt shameful to him.

"Alright, come back!" Bai Anshu from Jade Book Sect shouted.

The young Martial Artist in the dark gold long robe, seeing the commander’s order, could only comply, angrily returning to the Jade Book Sect’s camp.

Chu Qingyao also left the stage and returned.

"This Chu Qingyao indeed lives up to her reputation, just one step away from advancing to the Saint Realm," Bai Anshu said softly, looking at Chu Qingyao.

"Chu Qingyao is the most outstanding young descendant of the Chu Family. It’s not surprising that she has such strength," Lu Chen smiled.

"Lord Commander is absolutely right," Bai Anshu immediately nodded in agreement.

"Chu Family wins the first match. Commander Chu, congratulations," Lu Chen said, looking at Chu Xianlie with a smile.

"Thank you, Commander Lu!"

"Chu Qingyao is indeed excellent; of course, her victory also had an element of luck. The contestant Commander Bai sent was also quite strong, just slightly weaker than Qingyao," Chu Xianlie said with a smile.

Chu Qingyao’s win in the first match naturally made Chu Xianlie happy. In the upcoming two matches, the Chu Family just needed to win one more to secure the mining rights of the new mineral source.

"Chu Xianlie, don’t get too complacent. As far as I know, Chu Qingyao should be your strongest among the three, right? You sent Chu Qingyao in the first match, I wonder how you will handle the next two matches," Bai Anshu’s cold gaze swept over Chu Xianlie.

"Commander Chu, please send out the Chu Family’s second contestant," Lu Chen said.

Chu Xianlie looked at Huang Yishan, then at Jing Yan. Clearly, Chu Xianlie hadn’t yet decided whether to send Huang Yishan next or Jing Yan’s subordinate.

"Commander, let Huang Yishan go second. My subordinate will go last," Jing Yan said with a smile, seeing Chu Xianlie’s hesitant gaze.

"Alright, Yishan, you go!" Chu Xianlie nodded and said to the silent Huang Yishan.
