Chapter 844: Chapter 844: The Terrifyingly Alluring Beauty

Normally, martial arts tournaments are just a demonstration, but this time it’s actually permissible to kill!

Although it requires unanimous approval from the judges, it also gives some ill-intentioned people an opportunity.

Just like the Gu Family, they can legitimately kill Liu Zixuan.

Of course, this time Liu Zixuan has to guard against not just the Gu Family; previously, the Patriarch of the Shi Family said today is just a warm-up, and tomorrow is the real start. The Eight Great Powers and the Four Great Clans will take advantage of today to recruit Liu Zixuan.

If Liu Zixuan doesn’t agree, then on the martial arts arena tomorrow, it will inevitably be a fight to the death.

Liu Zixuan rubbed his forehead and laughed, "Looks like the next two days will be a test of endurance."

"Brother Xuan, though Jiang Yunxuan and the others haven’t been seen yet, I reckon they’ve all arrived. All of our brothers are here, no need to fear anyone!" Zhao Yi said boldly.

Liu Zixuan nodded slightly and looked at the old man with the white beard. What he wanted most to know now was who were the judges and the host!

It wasn’t just him; everyone was waiting.

The old man with the white beard feigned mystery, then laughed: "I’ve explained the rules, so next I will formally introduce this tournament’s judges and host!"

"The judging panel includes: the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder of one of the Hidden Sects, the Profound Sword Sect, and the Yangming Dual Venerables!"

"That’s exactly what I feared!" Liu Zixuan’s expression drastically changed upon hearing the words ’Profound Sword Sect.’ When Jiang Yiyi had Bai Jingjing deliver the message, it was clearly mentioned that the Profound Sword Sect was here with a kill order against Liu Zixuan!

But now, the so-called Profound Sword Sect is actually part of the judges, and what’s worse is that they occupy two seats.

"You know them?" Ye Lianyi whispered as she watched the two strong figures slowly walk to the center.

Liu Zixuan smirked, "I don’t know them, but they know me."

"The Third Elder of the Ghost Valley Sect, Venerable Ghost!"

"The Great Elder of the Golden Saber Sect, Yelü Qingtian!"

Two more figures quickly appeared on the open ground, each radiating an intimidating aura. It was clear that these four were all Emperor Realm powerhouses!

The old man with the white beard grinned, "Also, the Inner Sect Elder of the Dragon Soul Headquarters, Wang Zhao!"

"This name..." Liu Zixuan was about to remark on its familiarity when suddenly a familiar figure appeared from the side, slowly walking past. Clearly Wang Kun’s father, the elder from Lingxiu Village!

"He’s actually on the judging panel!" Liu Zixuan exclaimed in surprise.

"He seems to be the elder from Lingxiu Village," Zhao Yi recalled vaguely.

Liu Zixuan nodded, "I don’t know if his presence is good or bad news for me, but for now, it seems good."

Back in Lingxiu Village, Liu Zixuan had a long conversation with the elder, but they had grown distant. Liu Zixuan noticed that at that time, the elder was no longer chatting with him as Wang Kun’s father, but as a significant figure from the Dragon Soul.

So, under these circumstances, it’s hard to determine if it’s advantageous for Liu Zixuan!

"Hahaha, the last one is me. Allow me to introduce myself." The old man’s expression suddenly became stern: "The Second Elder of the White Cloud Sect, Bai Tu!"

"The judging panel consists of six, three from Ghost Valley Sect, Golden Saber Sect, and White Cloud Sect have no connections, but Profound Sword Sect and Dragon Soul..."

Liu Zixuan muttered to himself, the current situation was particularly delicate for him. If the elder slightly favored him, it would be advantageous; if not, it would be slightly disadvantageous.

While everyone memorized those six faces, the old man continued, "Besides ensuring fair and just judgment of your victories, the judges also have oversight and execution rights. If anyone violates the tournament rules, the judges have the authority to disqualify that person!"

"Next, let’s invite the host for this martial arts tournament. I think everyone should clap, for the person coming on stage is an unparalleled beauty!"

After these words, everyone was initially taken aback, having not expected the tournament host to be a woman; then came thunderous applause.

Gradually, petals seemed to fall from the sky, and a beautiful scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

As all eyes focused there, a beautiful, alluring figure, like a celestial maiden, slowly descended from the sky. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"What a beautiful lady."

"Wow, her captivating eyes must have electricity; just one glance from her makes me feel comfortable all over."

"Her figure, it’s incredible!"

As the alluring figure gently landed, the discussion increased around her.

Liu Zixuan focused and saw that standing before the six judges was a woman around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

She wore a striking red dress, making her stand out; her figure could only be described as voluptuous, highlighted by the dress’s contours.

Even more striking was her face, especially her eyes, which seemed to peer into everyone’s thoughts. Her delicate features entranced men, and her lips held a flirtatious smile, resembling a seductress.

"This woman is no ordinary person!" Liu Zixuan murmured.

"I don’t know if she’s ordinary or not, but I suspect this woman might have some issues in her head," Zhao Yi muttered, rubbing his chin.

"Pfft!" Ye Lianyi laughed uncontrollably, "She’s so beautiful and holds the position of the tournament host, how could she possibly have mental issues!"

"Think about it, although the gorge isn’t as cold as outside, it’s only around ten degrees. We’re wearing thick clothes to barely stay warm, yet she only wears a dress. Logic says this is a martial arts tournament; maybe if she were in a restaurant or tea house, she could attract attention, but in a place like this, dressing so flamboyantly is just absurd!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Listening to Zhao Yi’s words, Liu Zixuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

But that laughter wasn’t without consequences, as suddenly he felt a sharp gaze directed at him.

Liu Zixuan glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on the alluring woman.

Sure enough, even from afar, she was staring at Liu Zixuan. It seemed she heard their conversation just now!

Liu Zixuan smirked and waved his hand, "You guys continue, I’m just laughing."

"I don’t want to hear anything I don’t like!" The alluring woman slightly curled her lips, and her soft voice directly reached Liu Zixuan’s ear.

Liu Zixuan’s pupils contracted; she could hear their murmurs from such a distance and could utilize Inner Strength so perfectly to deliver a faint message directly to Liu Zixuan’s ear.

This woman... in both realm and mentality, she’s not to be underestimated!
