Volume 2 That World Chapter 19: Nie Ming of the Divine Sword Tower
Since they were all from Jiange, Qin Zijin successfully led everyone through the inner area that was supposed to be prohibited from entering.
Then Qi Ji saw the situation of the entire stadium.
The inner court of Jiandu’s central square is actually a circular, sunken square with stepped terraces!
This terrain structure ensures that when the square is used for events, it does not have a completely open view like the Tianhai Stadium.
However, the spectators standing in the outer circles are on higher ground, which basically ensures that everyone in the square can see the scenery in the central circular area smoothly.
Not only that, at the innermost part of the outer circle with a diameter of more than 300 meters, there is a central circular platform with a diameter of about 100 meters. At this moment, a group of arenas consisting of seven smaller arenas surrounding the central arena has been built on this platform like the moon surrounded by stars.
Qin Zijin looked at the admiring expressions of the others and smiled slightly: "Limited by the subtle differences in the underlying physical rules, as well as the vigilance and resistance of the native forces to the inner domain technology, and the fact that the few inner domain people who can come here are all warriors...so it is very difficult for the inner domain's science and technology to spread to the outer domain."
Qin Zijin smiled and said, "We don't have the perfect infrastructure and scientific technology here, but we have our own methods. The construction of this stadium, Jiange, started two years ago, so the effect is not bad now."
After a while, several people came to the arena belonging to Jiange according to the instructions of the Jiange disciples on the scene.
The arena is circular, with a diameter of about 15 meters.
Kamiizumi Yito was the first one who couldn't hold back and jumped onto the stage holding the edgeless sword made for him by Jiange.
He casually struck it a few times, then suddenly raised his knife and pointed it at Bai Tianhe, saying loudly: "Bai Tianhe, it's time for a competition to decide who is the third strongest in the team!"
Bai Tianhe glanced at him coldly, showing no interest in paying any attention to him.
Who wants to compete for third place? It’s so embarrassing!
Instead, he turned his gaze to Qi Ji with a somewhat fiery expression.
Fighting this man is my destiny!
Qi Ji felt uncomfortable being stared at by Bai Tianhe, and quietly moved closer to Qin Zijin who was watching the show.
"Qi Ji, come and fight with me again. I lost to you by half a move last time. My swordsmanship has improved in the past few days, and I would like to ask you to appreciate it!" Bai Tianhe's sword eyes exuded heat.
Qi Ji waved his hand: "Forget it, Xiaobai, you really can't beat me now, let's compete again later."
Being ignored, Kamiizumi Yiren shouted angrily: "Bai Tianherrrr (tickling tongue), oh my! Damn it, do you look down on me?"
"Idiot!" Bai Tianhe replied coldly with two words.
Shangquan Yiren above was almost furious.
At this moment, a loud shout rang out.
"Interesting! Let me fight you--"
Before he finished speaking, a tall figure suddenly jumped onto the stage from the other side amid the puzzled expressions of Qi Ji and the others!
Boom!
There was a muffled sound from the ring, and the tall figure slowly stood up, and his image became clear in everyone's eyes.
This was a man as tall and strong as , at least two meters tall, wearing tight clothes, with muscles as strong as steel, wild long hair, and a rough face. When he stood on the ring, he was so imposing that it was hard to look directly at him!
This person reminded Qi Ji of the giant swordsman in the Tower of Transcendence, a powerful projection that had put him in a tough fight for a time.
Shangquan Yiren was startled, and immediately turned around and asked loudly: "Where did this big guy come from?"
The towering man laughed and answered loudly, "A disciple from the inner sect of the Divine Sword Tower, Ah Hu!"
Then he suddenly pulled out a 1.4-meter-long broad-bladed sword from behind his back and confronted Kamiizumi Yito.
The development of the matter immediately went in an unexpected direction.
"Divine Sword Tower..." Qin Zijin's face became slightly solemn when he heard the name.
Qi Ji tilted his head slightly. He only took one look at the ferocious Ah Hu on the stage and lost interest in him. Although he was very strong, he should not pose a threat to him.
What he really cared about was the group of people walking slowly towards the stage on Ah Hu's side.
Leading the way was a young man who was similar in build to Qi Ji, tall and strong.
He was wearing a black shirt and had dark red hair tied up in a high ponytail. He had a handsome face, eyes as sharp as knives, a cold smile on his lips, and looked extremely crazy!
Qi Ji's attention was completely attracted by this person. He only felt that this young man exuded a huge dangerous aura, and even made him want to start "subduing the demon" on the spot.
"That's the young master of the Divine Sword Tower, Nie Ming!" Qin Zijin solemnly said a name beside him.
Qi Ji knew that she was talking about the red-haired young man he was observing.
"He is nineteen years old this year and has reached the realm of sitting meditation, which is equivalent to the professional eighth level in our place. He is similar to Pei Xingjian... No! Judging from his talent, when he is the same age as Pei Xingjian, he will probably have already become extraordinary." Qin Zijin said softly.
Just as Qin Zijin was introducing the origin of the Divine Sword Tower to Qi Ji, Shangquan Yiren on the ring had already been fighting fiercely with the opponent's big man Ah Hu.
It has to be said that although Shangquan Yiren was defeated by Qi Ji and became the number one bootlicker, his talent and strength are indeed impressive. He is not inferior to Bai Tianhe even when facing him without using the super swordsmanship "Chao".
The point is, Bai Tianhe does possess a unique sword technique that can double one's physical strength.
But who knows whether Shangquan Yiren is hiding his abilities? After all, his grandfather is also a real swordsman.
Therefore, even though Kamiizumi Yiren was half a head shorter than his opponent, the Japanese sword in his hand was not at all weak. He fought against Ah Hu with fast and fierce momentum.
In just a few seconds, the two men attacked each other more than ten times, and the sound of the blades colliding attracted the attention of many people at the scene.
"It feels so good! It feels so good!" Shangquan Yiren's opponent, the giant Ah Hu, is also a man with natural supernatural powers.
He seemed to like the feeling of sword fighting very much. He stood firmly on the spot with his feet, relying only on the strength of his waist and brawn to chop with his sword. Each time he chopped, he pushed Shangquan Yiren back two steps, demonstrating his absolute advantage in strength.
If it had happened in the past, Shangquan Yiren would have been extremely shocked if he was hit back continuously.
But ever since that day when Qi Ji beat him with a knife in one hand and he could no longer hold the knife, although Ah Hu's supernatural power was difficult to resist, he was somewhat accustomed to it.
He suddenly stepped back, taking out a special new Yin-ryu structure, and continuously swung his katana with the Jumonji and Mujiken that he had used last time against Qi Ji!
These two special sword moves, combined with swift footwork, suddenly attacked Ah Hu from two directions one after another, forcing his feet, which had originally intended to stay still, to take two steps back!
Then he laughed viciously and said, "It's just a little brute force, far inferior to Qi Jisang!"
Ah Hu was too careless before, and was forced to take two steps back by the sudden and quick sword move, looking a little embarrassed.
Hearing Kamiizumi Yito's words of disparagement again, he could not help but roar in anger, suddenly raised his sword and swung it to his shoulder, making a gesture similar to the angry style in Meyer's swordsmanship.
A terrifying aura inexplicably spread!
As for Shangquan Yiren, he was not at all weak. He once again returned to the most basic Qing'an structure of the Xinyinliu. His entire aura was condensed to near nothingness in an instant!
The two of them are about to attack in the next second!
"That's enough."
A calm voice suddenly sounded, it was Nie Ming, the young master of the Divine Sword Tower.
Ah Hu, who was originally furious, was shocked when he heard it. He immediately put away his stance, put the knife behind his back, and stood obediently where he was.
The opponent suddenly stopped, and Kamiizumi Yiren didn't know how to continue. He kept his stance in confusion and forgot what to do for a moment.
Seeing his bewildered look, Qi Ji couldn't help but say, "Alright, the private fight ends here. If it continues, something bad will happen. Come down."
Shangquan Yiren immediately became alert and nodded in agreement: "Okay Qi Jisang! Thanks for the reminder, I was rude!"
After saying that, he bowed to Ah Hu, jumped off the stage and returned to Qi Ji's back.
Ah Hu also reacted and quickly jumped off the ring and ran back to Nie Ming. Although he was very tall, he looked nervous and uneasy.
Nie Ming led the team to Qi Ji and the others, and looked at the five people including Qin Zijin one by one, and finally stopped his gaze on the face of the senior sister Su Jingqiu.
He asked softly, "Su Jingqiu, are these the young masters that your Sword Pavilion has brought from the Inner Realm this time?"
Su Jingqiu glanced at him and simply answered with one word: "Yes."
"Heh, it looks interesting." His eyes focused on Qi Ji and Bai Tianhe, and then fixed on Bai Tianhe who was showing his sword intent. "You are the Qi Ji-san that the Japanese mentioned just now. Are you also Japanese?"
Damn it, who are you calling Japanese, you pretentious bastard?
"Haha!" Qin Zijin covered her mouth and laughed.
Qi Ji couldn't hold it in any longer and coughed: "I am Qi Ji, not the Japanese you think!"
Nie Ming turned his head and looked at him seriously for a long while. Qi Ji smiled and looked at him, which made Nie Ming's expression change slightly.
Bai Tianhe seemed to have met a new enemy. The aura emanating from Nie Ming was as sharp as a knife. He was extremely similar to him yet completely different. They were simply natural rivals.
His eyes were sharp as he stared at the young master of the Divine Sword Tower opposite him, but his voice was cold: "I am Bai Tianhe." Then he couldn't help but add: "The feeling you give me... is very annoying."
Nie Ming glanced at him and sneered, "You are a swordsman, so you are naturally hostile to my sword power."
He looked at Su Jingqiu again: "I am a little interested in your Jiange this year. See you in three days."
After saying this, without waiting for anyone to reply, he turned around and led the team away.
When they were a certain distance away, Nie Ming seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be whispering to the people next to him: "The skilled Japanese, the genius with sword intentions, the soon-to-be extraordinary Su Jingqiu, and that... unfathomable Qi Ji, I think this martial arts performance will not be boring."
Qi Ji watched the other party pretend to be cool and then leave. He couldn't help but look back at Qin Zijin and asked, " Who is ? He looks a bit pretentious."
Qin Zijin had a serious expression at first, but when he saw Qi Ji's nonchalant look, he couldn't help but relax: "As I said just now, he is the young master of the Divine Sword Tower, the son of Sword God Nie Peng."
"Longchang, Divine Sword Tower, Sword Pavilion, Liaoyuan Sect, Armored Martial Hall, Wuxiang Temple, Demon-Exterminating Society..." Before Qin Zijin could speak, Su Jingqiu suddenly spoke.
"Among the seven top forces in the Donghua Continent mentioned earlier, the Divine Sword Tower ranks second in comprehensive strength, even above our Sword Pavilion."
So that’s how it is. Qi Ji said he understood.
