Chapter 422: 422

Having been subject to both the raging tempest made from Qi, imbued with the lightning attribute and the nineteen layers of the Twenty-Seventh Layer Azure Sword, the soldiers were like boats on top of a raging sea; they were being blown left and right, their bodies battered and wounds littered all over .

The one who held up the best was the leader, but because he had been punched with the Devouring Fist, he too was aching all over, and foreign Qi was running rampant in his body .

At the same time, none of them had even managed to get close to Xue Wei .

Feeling bursts of strength in his body, Xue Wei was aware that he could skip ranks and fight some at the higher layers than him, so these people really posed no threat to him .

The changes that had happened to his body after getting the blessing and removing the seals were simply too overwhelming .

Xue Wei decided to dive into the raging tempest, and suddenly, his legs swept out like a snake, landing on the stomach of one of the ninth layered Earth Saints, sending him flying off the stage .

As he landed on the ground, he spat out blood before collapsing . He was unable to get up again, and could only lay on the back, feeling the blood foam around his mouth and his consciousness blur .

As soon as Xue Wei had removed the first person, he retreated far away . Although he did not mind going straight against all of the opponents, he believed in keeping some of his strength hidden in case he needed to fight them later, and thus he was not willing to fight them all at once .

Kick of the Raging Tempest!

The second kick was unleashed, the winds around the stage were so heavy and sharp that anyone who got close could feel as if a knife was slicing their faces .

Xue Wei was looking at the people who were fighting against the tempest, and then he found another old technique in his mind, a technique he had not used in a long time, but which was very useful, especially now that he had an affinity with the element of fire .

Qi Flamestrike!

The Qi flamestrike transformed Qi into flames that shot up from the ground, but instead of using standard Qi, Xue Wei infused it with the fire element, causing it to be much more potent than initially planned .

Screams were everywhere on the stage, and another person suddenly collapsed . He was unable to withstand the many cuts from the Twenty-Seventh Layer Azure Sword, the sharp wind blades from the Kick of the Raging Tempest, and now also the flames from the Qi Flamestrike .

The moment he collapsed and lost consciousness, his body was teleported from the stage and down on the ground next to the stage .

Many of the people who were observing the fight sucked in a deep breath of air as they looked at him .

His entire body was scorched, the skin was blackened from the lightning strikes embedded into the tempest, and the flames from the Qi Flamestrike .

Even some smoke was coming out from his body .

When they looked back to the stage, all they saw was the raging lightning tempest and the flames . They also heard the occasional scream and curse word, but they could not see any actual movements . Everything was a mess of Qi, flames, wind, and lightning .

From time to time, they could see some shadows moving about, and one person after another was being shot out of the arena, all of them looking immensely pitiful .

But the observers did not pity them, they knew that these soldiers had initially been planning on crippling Xue Wei, so the fact that all he did was barbeque them was already quite polite .

When only the final person was left, the leader of the soldiers, everyone had already understood that the winner would be Xue Wei, but the leader did not seem willing to accept this outcome .

He was a Fire Horse, with a slight trace of the bloodline from a Fire Qilin, and he saw himself as a n.o.ble beast . How could he not defeat a small youngster who could not even be considered a grown-up?

A neigh could be heard as he took on his original shape, and suddenly the flames on the stage had almost no effect on him .

It was not that Xue Wei's flame was of low quality, but the Fire Horse had a natural immunity towards thousands of flames . The fact that he could still hurt him slightly was already quite good .

Xue Wei narrowed his eyes .

He had a whole mountain of techniques he could use . So far, he had used some of them, but he had another one he wanted to test .

This one was quite similar to Qi Lightning . It used Qi to imitate an element, but he already had the elemental affinity with the element it tried imitating, so he would be able to upgrade the attack .

Sky's Judgment!

Sky's Judgement was a technique he had learned a long time ago . It was quite powerful and required the user to channel Qi before unleas.h.i.+ng the might of nine progressively stronger lightning strikes .

It was an imitation of the Tribulation Lightning . However, while it was not as strong, it was still quite painful to be hit by lightning, especially since it was not artificial, but real lightning summoned by the lightning affinity that Xue Wei commanded .

"Time to end this," Xue Wei muttered, as he channeled the Qi imbued with the lightning affinity, and suddenly the tempest died down, the flames vanished, but the sky turned dark and overcast .
