Chapter 417: Lion Demon King
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
"Who is going first for the second round?" Zi Miao asked Qingfeng and Tiangang Chen. Her face was still ghastly pale.
There was a residue of the powder on her face. She felt really uncomfortable; if it was not for the competition, she would definitely take a shower.
"I’ll go," Tiangang Chen said with a light smile as he made his way to the battle arena.
He was one of the top 10 fighters of the Capital. His power was immense. How could the teacher of the number one demon king be an ordinary person?
The candidate from Southern Miaojiang was a bald old man who was a level S fighter.
Tiangang Chen and the bald old man walked up the battle arena and started the battle.
Swoosh!
The bald old man’s right hand turned into an eagle claw. There was a piercing sound as he clawed towards Tiangang Chen.
Tiangang Chen smiled faintly as his hands became wind blades and he sliced towards the old man’s claw.
Boom!
There was a loud boom as the hand and claw collided. Tiangang Chen did not budge an inch while the bald old man’s expression changed as he took a few steps back.
Clearly, Tiangang Chen had won the exchange.
The bald old man narrowed his eyes. He knew that he has met a strong enemy. Instantly, he gathered all his might into his claws. There was a green hue around his hands as he clawed towards Tiangang Chen.
Tiangang Chen smiled coldly and gathered all his might onto his wind-edge palm, and it actually formed ten images of his palm.
That was the sign that he has achieved the Wind-edge Palm. His palm strikes could slice through the air.
Katcha!
The bald old man’s eagle claw was instantly sliced by Tiangang Chen’s Wind-Edge Palm. Then, Tiangang Chen fiercely pursued the bald old man. The bald old man was no match for Tiangang Chen so he released his poisonous toad. However, he was still knocked out Tiangang Chen with a slap.
After 30 strikes, Tiangang Chen slapped the bald old man out of the battle arena and ended the battle.
Even though the bald old man was very strong and even used his poisonous toad, he was still no match for Tiangang Chen.
The bald old man returned dejectedly to Xiaoyao Miao’s side. He said in a low voice, "Saintess, I am defeated."
Xiaoyao Miao nodded lightly and said, "It’s not your fault. The elder is very strong. He must be a foreign aid who was seeked out by Ziyi Miao. There is no rush, Lion Demon King is almost here. He will definitely be able to defeat the young man."
Lion Demon King?
A flash of fear appeared on the bald old man’s face when he he heard the name. Lion Demon was a wild and powerful figure. Back then, he dominated the entire southern Miaojiang. For some reason, he chose to stay in Southern Miaojiang. It seemed to had to do with Xiaoyao Miao’s mother.
"Very good, we won the second round. If we win the third round, I will be the Saint of Miaojiang," Zi Miao said excitedly.
"Remember you words. If I help you become the Saintess, you will give me the Flower of God’s Spirit." Qingfeng said.
Zi Miao’s expression changed at Qingfeng’s words. But at the thought of the terror of the young man, she nodded and said, "Rest assured, I promise to give you the Flower of God’s Spirit if you win the next battle."
Qingfeng nodded and walked towards the battle arena.
"What? The third round is so important. Why would the Saint of Northern Miaojiang dispatch such a young man?"
"Yeah, the two elders just now were so strong. What good would a young man be?" "Sigh, it seems like the Saint of Northern Miaojiang is about to lose."
The surrounding people discussed ani
matedly when they saw Qingfeng walking up the battle arena. They were all certain that he would be defeated.
Qingfeng had just walked up the battle arena when a wild voice came from the outside, "Xiaoyao, Uncle Lion is here. Today, I will help you get the Saintess title."
Then, a tall muscular man with a beard walked into the room. He wore a piece of leather and held onto a spiked club.
. The middle-aged man was like a lion and gave off a domineering presence. The ground trembled and banged loudly with every step he took.
"Uncle Lion, it’s great that you are here. We have lost one round and won one round. I will depend on you for the third round," Xiaoyao Miao said happily.
She knew that she would definitely win the third round if her Uncle Lion was here. The title of "Saintess" would go to her.
The expressions of the surrounding people changed drastically when the saw the man. Naturally, they all recognized the man.
"Lion Demon King, I can’t believe the Saint of Southern Miaojiang managed to invite the Lion Demon King. The young man is done for."
"keke…he is not just done for. He will be torn to pieces."
"You’re right. The Lion Demon King is ruthless. He is rumored to be the number one fighter of Southern Miaojiang." The surrounding people discussed animatedly. They looked at the Lion Demon King with respect and fear. Oh no, it is the Lion Demon King. A flash of despair appeared on her face as blood drained from her face. She was aware of the strength of the Lion Demon King. He was the number one fighter of Southern Miaojiang. Even in Northern Miaojiang, no one was his match.
Ever since the Lion Demon King had arrived in Miaojiang a dozen years ago, he has defeated more than a 100 strong fighters of Miaojiang. His power shook Miaojiang. He was extremely powerful and rumored to be able to tear a tiger into two. No one expected that Lion Demon would help Xiaoyao Miao.
Tiangang Chen had a look of disbelief when he saw Lion Demon King.
"Fellow, Xiaoyao wants me to defeat you. I will behead you with a single fist," Lion Demon said arrogantly.
His powerful body jumped into the sky and he landed onto the battle arena with a loud boom.
Qingfeng was faced away from the Lion Demon King so Lion Demon King did not see his face. But, his facial expression changed drastically when he saw Qingfeng’s face.
So alike…why did this young man resembled the Great Conqueror so much?
Lion Demon King was stunned. He asked, "Who are you?"
Through the discussions of the spectators, Qingfeng was already aware that this powerful man was called Lion Demon King. He was the number two Demon under his father’s rule. He was second only to his teacher, the Wind Demon.
"My name is Qingfeng Li, I am the son of the Great Conqueror, Third Master of the Li Family," Qingfeng said calmly as he looked at the powerful middle-aged man. What? The son of the Great Conqueror?
The Lion Demon King was stunned. He carefully examined the young man and realized that he heavily resembled the Great Conqueror.
Then, a familiar voice sounded," Lion, long time no see."
When he heard the familiar voice, Lion Demon King turned and looked towards the Northern Miaojiang area. He saw Tiangang Chen at first sight. He naturally recognized the housekeeper of the Li Family.
"Housekeeper, why are you here?" Lion Demon asked with surprise. His eyes were filled with puzzlement.
He knew that Tiangang Chen was the housekeeper of the Li Family. He should be in the Capital. Why was he at Miaojiang?
"Lion, let me tell you, he is the son of the Great Conqueror," Tiangang Chen said lightly as he pointed at Qingfeng.
A flash of emotion appeared in Lion Demon’s eyes. His entire body trembled from excitement.
Lion Demon could see a flicker of the Great Conqueror from Qingfeng. Since the housekeeper said that Qingfeng was the son of the Great Conqueror, it must be true. The housekeeper would not lie to him about a matter like this.
Pang!
To the astonishment of the spectators, Lion Demon King kneeled on one knee before Qingfeng. He said respectfully, "Young master, I am Demon number 2, Lion Demon King."
Chapter 418: Shocking MiaojiangTranslator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Everyone was shocked to see Lion Demon King kneeling before Qingfeng and calling him "Young Master". They thought they were dreaming.
The people of Southern Miaojiang were dumfounded. Lion Demon King was the number one fighter of Southern Miaojiang. They invited him to participate in the competition. But now, the number one fighter of their side was kneeling before a young man. What was going on?
Some of the strong fighters of Miaojiang were first stunned. Then, their faces became fearful. They quickly realized that the man who could make Lion Demon King bow must be an even more powerful existence.
Of course, only strong fighters were aware of Qingfeng’s strength. Ordinary people could not sense his strength.
After all, an ordinary person’s power was limited. They could not see the strong aura surrounding Qingfeng.
The entire area was deadly silent. Everyone was stunned by the Lion Demon King’s actions.
The Lion Demon King had kneeled before Qingfeng. Not just that, this meant that the number one fighter of Northern Miaojiang was kneeling before Qingfeng.
The leader of Miaojiang was stunned. His repressed the feelings in his heart and said, "Qingfeng, Lion Demon King, this is the third round of battle. Start the battle quickly."
Lion Demon King said lightly, "I give up for the third round." He dared not fight against Young master. If he hurt Young Master, the Great Conqueror would rip off his skin if he knew of the happenings.
I admit defeat?
The surrounding people had their mouths agape. In the past dozen years, Lion Demon King swept through the entire Miaojiang region. He has once said that he would never admit defeat. But now, he was admitting defeat to a young man.
If Xiaoyao Miao had not called him Uncle Lion, they would not believe the man before him was Lion Demon King.
Lion Demon King has admitted defeat. This would cause a storm in the entire Miaojiang.
The leader also looked at Lion Demon King with astonishment. He did not know what to say. Now that Lion Demon King had admitted defeat, it would mean that he had lost the third round of competition. The winner would be the Saintess from Northern Miaojiang.
Just as the leader was prepared to announce the winner, Xiaoyao Miao stood up and said loudly, "Leader, I refuse to admit defeat."
The leader furrowed his brows and asked, "XIaoyao, why are you unwilling to admit defeat?"
"Leader, the Saint battle depends on one’s combat power. To win the competition, one must win two of the three rounds. I refuse to admit defeat because I don't know why Uncle Lion admitted defeat. But I don't think this is fair, " Xiaoyao Miao said lightly.
If she obtained the title of "Saintess", she will become the head of Miaojiang. Her power will be even higher than that of the Leader. She will get a lot of power and resources. Xiaoyao Miao naturally wanted the title.
She not only wanted to obtain the personal glory, she also had to consider the interests of her family.
The people of Southern Miaojiang also started to riot when they heard Xiaoyao Miao’s words.
Faced with their oppositions, the Leader’s expression changed slightly. He did not know what to do.
Qingfeng said with a light smile, "Xiaoyao Miao, you guys refuse to admit defeat because the third representative did not battle. I can give you a chance. If someone from Southern Miaojiang can defeat me, I will admit defeat."
"Okay, you need to keep your word. I will choose someone to battle with you."A flash of happiness appeared on Xiaoyao Miao’s charming face.
Xiaoyao Miao initially placed her hopes on the Lion Demon King. She did not expect that he would kneel and directly admit defeat. But this was the battle for the title, she refused to admit defeat.
Xiaoyao Miao looked amongst the people of Southern Miaojiang for a long time but could not find a strong fighter. The only strong fighter, the bald old man, was already injured by Tiangang Chen. Clearly, he was not ready for another battle.
"If that is the case, I will fight on the battle arena," thought Xiaoyao Miao as she clenched her teeth. She then made her way to the battle arena.
"Xiaoyao, what are you doing?" Lion Demon King said when he saw her walking up the battle arena. His expression had changed.
"Uncle Lion, I don't know why you kneeled or admitted defeat. But you once told me that one must not admit defeat, we have to battle to the end,"Xiaoyao Miao said strongly. Her charming face glistened mesmerizingly.
Lion Demon King smiled bitterly when he heard her words. He did not continue to speak. He knew that Xiaoyao Miao was very stubborn. She would not listen to his words.
Yes, Lion Demon King has once told Xiaoyao Miao those words. But it depended on the person. If Lion Demon King had met the Head of the four families of the Captital, he would not back down from the battle.
But Qingfeng was not an ordinary figure. He was the son of the Great conqueror who was his master. Qingfeng was his young master. He dared not lay a finger on him.
"Qingfeng Li, I will defeat you today. I want to see what you’ve got to make my Uncle Lion admit defeat," Xiaoyao Miao said viciously.
To be honest, Lion Demon King was her idol. These years, he has taught Xiaoyao Miao how to fight. She was uncomfortable to see her idol kneel before Qingfeng and admit defeat.
Qingfeng nodded and said, "To show my respect towards you, I have decided to defeat you with one strike."
Defeat me with one strike?
Xiaoyao Miao was furious. She did not think that this was a sign of respect. Qingfeng was insulting her. She was the Saint of Southern Miaojiang and had defeated Ziyi Miao just now. How could she lose to Qingfeng with one strike?
Ha!
Xiaoyao Miao shouted as she took out a bony baton and swung it towards Qingfeng. She was keen to smash the arrogant young man’s bones to pieces.
Qingfeng stood unmoving. Just when the bony baton was about to land on his body, he dodged to the side.
Swoosh!
Qingfeng held onto Xiaoyao Miao’s throat in a flash and lifted her up the ground.
Xiaoyao Miao was ghastly pale. She looked fearfully at Qingfeng. This man’s speed fast like a lightning. Before she had any time to react, she had already lost.
"I lost with a single attack,"thought Xiaoyao Miao with despair.
Lion Demon King was also stunned. Young Master’s speed was so fast. He was even faster than me!
At this moment, Lion Demon King rejoiced slightly that he had given up the battle with Young Master. He would not be a match for Young Master.
The surrounding people looked at Qingfeng like he was a monster, with fear in their eyes.
"You lost," Qingfeng said as he let go of Xiaoyao Miao’s neck. He then turned around and walked down the battle arena.
Xiaoyao Miao looked at Qingfeng with conflicting emotions in her eyes. It was a look that would appear only when she saw a strong man.
Qingfeng won the third round of battle. The leader of Miaojiang announced that the Saintess of Northern Miaojiang, Ziyi Miao, has won the competition and earned the title of "Saintess".
Ziyi Miao became the true "Saintess" of Miaojiang. She won the Saint flute and Godly flower and earned the respects of all the citizens.
Even thought the competition had ended, everyone looked at Qingfeng with astonishment in their eyes. They were amazed by his power.
Xiaoyao Miao was someone who could defeat Ziyi Miao but she had lost to Qingfeng with one strike. How strong must the young man be?
His powers shook Miaojiang. From today onwards, Qingfeng became the number one fighter in everyone’s hearts.
Chapter 419: Going Back to Save Xue LinTranslator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Miaojiang Holy Realm, Room of the Saintess
This was a holy room which only the Saintess could live in.
At the moment, there was a man in this room. The man was Qingfeng. He sat next to Ziyiyi Miao.
Ziyiyi Miao looked at Qingfeng with surprise. Even though she already knew the strength of the man before him, he still surprised her when he defeated Xiaoyao Miao with a single strike.
"Qingfeng Li, this is the Flower of God’s Spirit. Here you go," Ziyi Miao said with a light smile as she handed over a purple wooden box to Qingfeng.
She had came to an agreement with Qingfeng: if Qingfeng could help her win the title of "Saintess", she would give the Flower of God’s Spirit to him.
A flash of delight appeared in Qingfeng’s eyes. He opened the purple wooden box and saw a flower within it. The flower had the seven colors of the rainbow and emitted a mesmerising scent.
A flower with seven colors was a unique sight in nature. The seven-colored flower seemed to be still alive. It swayed gently and emitted an odd scent.
My head is so fuzzy. Qingfeng had inhaled a tiny amount of the scent when he felt his mind becoming fuzzy.
The Flower of God’s Spirit could affect the nervous system! Qingfeng’s expression changed as he quickly closed the wooden box. However, his mind was still fuzzy.
Ziyi Miao’s eyes darted and a look of coldness flash crossed her eyes. She smiled faintly and brought out a teacup. She said with a smile, "The Flower of God’s Spirit can affect the nervous system. Here have a cup of tea to feel better."
When Ziyi Miao passed over a teacup to Qingfeng, she secretly moved a fingernail on her right hand and a tiny thing invisible to the naked eye entered into the teacup.
The particle was very small and could only be seen with a microscope. The particles also had seven colors.
"Thank you," said Qingfeng as he drank the entire contents of the teacup.
His mind was still fuzzy from the scent of the Flower of God’s Spirit so he did not realize that Ziyi Miao had drugged the tea.
Moreover, the particles were too small to be seen by the naked eye.
Qingfeng never expected Ziyi Miao to harm him. After all, he had just done her a huge favor.
As Qingfeng drank the tea, he felt that something was amiss but he could not put his finger to it. He was skilled in medicine. If there was a poison in the tea, he would be able to sense it even if his mind was fuzzy.
Even though the tea was strange, after Qingfeng drank the tea, the fuzziness in his brain disappeared. It was magical.
"Saintess, I will be on my way. Thank you for the Flower of God’s Spirit," Qingfeng said with a light smile. Then, he walked out of the room.
A flash of coldness crossed Ziyi Miao’s face as she watched Qingfeng’s departing figure.
"Bastard, do you think I will let you go after you saw my body? Soon, the Gu insect within your body will grow. Then, you will become my slave," thought Ziyi Miao coldly.
In Miaojiang, the Saintess was godly and pure. Her body must not be seen by any man or she would be punished. Ziyi Miao’s body was seen and desecrated by Qingfeng. Naturally, she would not let him go easily.
Ziyi Miao knew that Qingfeng was very strong. She was no match for him. Thus, to seek revenge, she chose to use the holy Gu of Miaojiang.
The parasite she used was not an ordinary one. It was a larva of the seven-colored Gu. It could not be seen by the naked eye and would grow within Qingfeng’s body.
When the seven-colored Gu matures, Ziyi Miao would be able to control Qingfeng through the Gu. He would become her salve.
Truthfully, Ziyi Miao would not kill a powerful man like Qingfeng. But she would definitely make him her slave and abuse him thoroughly.
Even though Qingfeng was the powerful Wolf King who was skilled in combat and medicine, he knew nothing about the Gus of Miaojiang. He had never seen a mysterious technique like this. Thus, he unknowingly fell into Ziyi Miao’s trap.
The history of Miaojiang Gu could be traced back to the Yanhuang times. The Miaojiang Gu existed ever since the existence of humans.
These insects had existed for a longer times than humans.
As the saying goes, "A woman’s heart is very hard to understand. One would rather anger a villain than a woman."
Qingfeng thought that Ziyi Miao would be grateful to him since he had helped her. He thought that she would forgive his past doings. He did not expect Ziyi Miao to hide her intentions and implant a Gu into him.
Qingfeng held onto the Flower of God’s Spirit and left the Miaojiang Saintess Area with Tiangang Chen.
As for Lion Demon King, he did not leave with them. He still had to bring Xiaoyao Miao back to her family in Nanjiang. Qingfeng had learned that Lion Demon King had a past relationship with Xiaoyao Miao’s mother.
Qingfeng naturally did not oppose when the Lion Demon King asked to bring his lover’s daughter home. Lion Demon King had told Qingfeng that he will meet Qingfeng in ES City after he brought Xiaoyao Miao home.
One day later.
Qingfeng and Tiangang Chen travelled a long distance before they finally boarded the plane to head back to ES City.
At the moment, ES City, First People Hospital.
Xue Lin lied on the hospital bed. Her eyes were tightly shut and she was in a coma. She was like sleeping beauty who would never wake up.
Next to Xue Lin, her mother, Xiaoyun Mu, wept tears of sorrow. Xiaoyue Zhang was also crying.
Outside of the ward, Monk and King Kong guarded the room and stopped any strangers from entering the ward.
When Qingfeng arrived at the ward, everyone’s eyes were filled with delight.
"Boss, you found the Flower of God’s Spirit?" Monk said emotionally.
Qingfeng nodded in affirmation.
Monk looked at Qingfeng with delight and admiration in his eyes. Boss was so strong. The Flower of God’s Spirit was the Saintess Flower of Miaojiang. Only the Saintesss had access to it. He could not believe that Boss managed to find it. He was amazing!
"Mother-in-law, go and take a rest. I found the Flower of God’s Spirit. I will save Xue Lin." Qingfeng’s heart was filled with sorrow when he saw Xiaoyun Mu’s tear stained face.
"Okay, Qingfeng, please wake Xue Lin up," Xiaoyun Mu said before leaving the ward.
A look of tenderness appeared on Qingfeng’s face as he looked at the unmoving Xue Lin.
Qingfeng took out the Flower of God’s Spirit and crumbled the petals into liquid before feeding it into Xue Lin’s mouth.
The liquid from the Flower of God’s Spirit was of seven colors. It emitted a strong fragrant scent. It flowed into Xue Lin’s lips, down her throat, and was slowly absorbed by her body.
The magical power of the Flower of God’s Spirit managed to completely repair Xue Lin’s nerves.
Xue Lin felt that she had a long dream. The dream was so long that she only woke up from it when a seven-colored flower appeared before her eyes.
Xue Lin slowly opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar man before her.
