Chapter 495: Kang Yan’s New Dao
Liu Yan wasn't entirely stupid. He had heard of that phrase before in the modern world.
When he heard the meme quote from Miaomiao's mouth, he got goosebumps. It implied so many things!
First, Miaomiao was from his world!
Secondly, he had done something to his body!
Liu Yan kicked the ground and leaped away from Miaomiao. He spread his Qi sense and Soul Qi in his body, examining his conditions.
Then, he finally discovered the anomaly.
% of his Soul Qi and Elemental Qi were gone!
Moreover, something that had been attached to his soul ever since he had transmigrated here was gone!
Still, nothing else was out of the ordinary. There was no injury.
"Hahahaha! I was worried for a second. You can't simply mimic the Legend, Mao Miaomiao!"
"Really?" Miaomiao shook his head. He stopped pursuing Liu Yan.
Suddenly, Liu Yan sensed that he couldn't control his Qi and weird fire elemental Qi inside his body.
They didn't belong to him! The Qi's signature belonged to Miaomiao!
"!!!"
BOOM
Liu Yan's body erupted in flame. Even though his soul physique should have been immune to fire, his body slowly dissipated into ash.
Yet, Liu Yan didn't seem to be afraid of death.
"Hahahaha! I see. So you must have stolen my Qi and replaced it with your elemental Qi. I must say, nice try!"
While Liu Yan's arms, legs, and torso were broken to pieces and was burned to ash, he sneered at Miaomiao.
"You might have won, but you can't kill me! Hahahaha! System, set the next respawn location to this stage. I want to be resurrected and continue the fight!"
"…"
Miaomiao and Fang Yanxu stared at Liu Yan, waiting for something to happen. However, the fat man's remaining torso and head were reduced to ashes.
Liu Yan couldn't even hear or see his system notification. Before his consciousness disappeared, he still believed in his fighting chance and his foolproof victory method.
Unfortunately, the guy never realized that he had lost the most precious artifact and all his luck.
…
Miaomiao took several deep breaths to stabilize his dantian. Stealing the Soul Qi from the 9th-stage cultivator wasn't an easy task. He didn't have Killer Queen's assistance, and Liu Yan's energy pool was as deep as the sea.
Still, the winning condition had already been met.
Ding
[You have stolen Liu Yan's Heavenly Fate Fragment.]
[You have stolen a broken Soul of Pangu Online's Player.]
Ding
[You have completed the quest, Devil's Request: Protagonist Hunt – Liu Yan.]
[Your system will be upgraded after you fall asleep.]
The previous attacks from Miaomiao earlier were for this. First, he stole Liu Yan's luck energy until nothing was left.
As Liu Yan's luck was no more, the fat man made a mistake by disabling his soul domain ability and attempting to bully Miaomiao. Moreover, the mysterious artifact became loose.
Miaomiao simply latched onto Liu Yan's back and stole all the latter's Qi and the artifact. Once everything entered the former's soul dantian, he let out excess energy as Holy Flame Qi, injecting them back into Liu Yan's dantian.
After that, he pressed the bomb switch.
"I wish all protagonists are this easy to kill."
…
"…"
Meanwhile, Fang Yanxu frowned and stared at the pile of ash in disbelief. The crowd was silent, and the people from the Liu Clan on the box seats stood up in shock.
Liu Hanzhen, who was one of the contestants of the Holy Land Tournament, also raised his eyebrows.
Liu Yan was a sibling from another mother. However, from Liu Hanzhen's perspective, the former wasn't this weak.
It was well-known among the Great Liu Clan that Liu Yan's strongest ability was his invincibility and his monstrous cultivation speed. He was always lazy, lecherous, and selfish. Yet, among the clansmen, his combat strength was only second to Liu Hanzhen.
How could he be killed by a 6th-stage weakling?
Why didn't Liu Yan self-resurrect like how he always did when they sparred?
"Who is this man, trash?" Unable to figure it out, Liu Hanzhen turned to Liu Xuande, who had been crawling on all four, acting as his human chair.
Liu Xuande only glanced at the arena, "Mao Miaomiao, the nasty guy that we tried to kill but failed."
"Tell me more."
"I already told you several times, but you didn't listen!"
Liu Hanzhen stood up and turned around. He kicked Liu Xuande to the guts, "Tell me again!"
"…"
Liu Xuande gritted his teeth as he retold the stories about Miaomiao.
…
"Winner, Mao Miaomiao…"
Fang Yanxu reluctantly declared Miaomiao as the winner of the match even though he was confused. Even an immortal like him couldn't explain how Miaomiao killed a 9th-stage cultivator.
Miaomiao snorted and opened his palm. Then, he wiggled his fingers, "Where's my treasure troves, my belongings, and that asshole's belongings. You get to keep what you killed, right? I want all of that bastard's properties, assets, and manpower. Give them to me."
"…"
Fang Yanxu turned to Karen, who was inside the VIP box room. The latter only waved her hands, allowing the former to deal with it himself.
Fang Yanxu hesitated. Still, he returned Miaomiao's items and passed a token of Liu Yan, which the latter had deposited most of his belongings.
"Your rewards are stored in the Liu Clan's Bank. You can show this token to the Great Liu Clan's headquarters and claim his items, subordinates, slaves, and other belongings."
"In short, you ask me to commit suicide."
"The Great Liu Clan isn't that petty. They won't do something as stupid as that."
"Ha! I doubt it."
Miaomiao put on his clothes and looked around. Then, his eyes met with Liu Hanzhen, who had been emitting strong killing intent.
He grinned and raised a middle finger at Liu Hanzhen. The latter squinted his eyes as if he knew what the gesture meant.
"Anyway… SWAN GODDESS, AM I QUALIFIED TO ENTER THE CLAN LORD TOURNAMENT YET?!"
After everything was resolved, Miaomiao immediately demanded her approval. As she had looked down on him earlier, Miaomiao wanted to repay the favor by face-slapping her in public.
Karen clicked her tongue. As stubborn as she was, she bellowed. Her voice echoed in the arena.
"Mao Miaomiao must win the Holy Land Tournament first before he can enter the Clan Lord Tournament!"
Uriel and Azazel glared at Karen. They also intentionally voiced out, allowing everybody to hear.
"If you're this bias against one person because of his low cultivation base, we shall cease our support to this planet! Lord Joshua and the Devil will no longer protect this public planet from Samsara, Kishin Douji, and Outer Gods!"
The threat made Karen and other immortals nervous. Although this planet was a mortal world under Karen's Constellation Sector, Macho Joshua and Devil's presence were irreplaceable due to their Heaven Realm's political influence and strength. Without them, Karen's territory might be invaded by other greedy Dao Gods.
Without a choice, Karen swallowed her pride and corrected her stance.
"That was a joke. Mao Miaomiao, the Lord of Aves Continent, has the qualification to enter the Clan Lord Tournament."
"Good."
Uriel snorted and punched the tinted glass window, opening a way for Miaomiao to enter the room.
"…"
Karen's servants that were in charge of maintaining the arena cried. After Miaomiao entered the room, they quietly replaced the windows.
But suddenly, Miaomiao recalled something. He turned back to the stage, where Fang Yanxu was still lingering there. Then, he blasted through the window and rushed to the KFC immortal.
The workers were in tears. They calculated the price of tinted glass windows.
Fortunately, Azazel gave them a piece of 1st-grade soul stone. Then, she chased them away.
"Don't repair the windows for the time being. Actually, remove all the windows. We want some airflow in here."
The workers happily accepted the piece of soul stone and began removing the windows.
Miaomiao returned to Fang Yanxu, "Father-in-law, where is Fang Meirong? Has she come with you?"
"…"
Fang Yanxu frowned and waved his hand, shooing him away, "She is resting in her quarter. Also, the matter about your marriage hasn't been decided yet."
"OH, COME ON! I defeated you, and you're supposed to hand her over. Are you breaking our promise?"
"Tsk!"
Fang Yanxu couldn't break his Dao Oath. He was still obliged to give Fang Meirong freedom of choice whether she wanted to marry Miaomiao after she regained her previous life's memory.
"I'll tell her to come here tomorrow."
"Alrighty then."
Miaomiao flew back to the VIP box room.
However
CLANK
Miaomiao returned to the room through the window. He broke another glass as he didn't pay attention to the way.
"Whoops. My bad."
"…"
The servants cried again.
…
After Miaomiao's match, Fang Yanxu took over the event as he was experienced in this. He brought out a large board and revealed the tournament brackets.
Because of the number of contestants, the tournament's first round would take several days to complete as there would be over 1,000 matches.
The tournament brackets were huge, and it was difficult to find a contestant's name. As such, Fang Yanxu only distributed brochures of today's matches.
Surprisingly, one of Aves Continent's fighters had a match today.
Kang Yan was the first on the queue list. She would fight in the 21st match.
She was excited. She had recently comprehended a new technique that she wanted to try using on a real opponent.
The girls and Kang Yan watched the tournament matches from their locker room's TV, waiting for their turn.
Hours later, one of the stadium workers knocked on the door and informed them.
"Fairy Kang Yan of Aves Continent, your match is next. Please report to the front waiting room."
The girls encouraged Kang Yan and patted her. She nodded at them and proceeded to the front waiting room.
The front waiting room only had a couch, a tea table, and a female worker with a 1-square-meter cubic box.
The staff pointed at the cube, "Please deposit your belongings, armors, spatial rings, and weapon in here. Everything you put inside will be returned to you if you win. If you lose, everything in here will be given to your opponent."
Kang Yan frowned. She shook her head, "What if I don't put anything in there at all?"
"Then, you will be disqualified. All contestants must deposit everything in their possession here. Then, you must go out and fight without any equipment other than your clothes."
"…"
The rules seemed unfair as she was a swordswoman. She also had a soul-bound weapon, but she couldn't even use it here.
"In addition, all familiars, summons, and pets are not allowed. I can sense a few presences inside you, so your pets will have to stay here as well."
"…"
The Plum Blossom Sword transformed into two snakes. Yin Monarch and Yang Monarch came out and rested on the couch.
"Go girly. We'll wait for you here."
"Kick their asses, little girl. Make your father proud!"
Kang Yan bitterly smiled at her familiars. Then, she gazed at her shadow.
The spirit of her father came out. He hovered over the couch and laughed.
"Your swordsmanship is second to none! Go and have fun!"
"Thanks, dad."
Kang Yan deposited everything but her clothes into the cubic box. Then, the staff guided her to a passageway, which would lead Kang Yan to the arena.
Kang Yan walked out of the waiting room. She raised her chin and was basked by the light of the stadium.
It had been hours since the tournament officially began. The spectators were having fun watching and recording the fights between the super experts.
Now, a rare gorgeous beauty came out. They were excited to see the show.
Some of the crowd who had been quiet during the previous matches stood up. They chanted.
"WE WANT SEX!"
"RAVISH HER!!"
These people were so loud that Kang Yan was taken aback. She furrowed her brows and looked at the perverts.
"RAVISH HER!"
"RAVISH HER!"
"SEX SEX SEX!!"
The crowd erupted and the cheer got louder. It began to annoy Kang Yan.
Fang Yanxu, who was still on duty as a referee, shook his head. He gazed at Kang Yan and explained.
"You see, little girl. This tournament is vile and savage. The winner gets to do anything to the losers, and those men are as horny as dogs in heat. They enjoy watching a female cultivator being ravished by her opponent in public."
"…"
While Kang Yan was astonished by the sick rules, her opponent appeared from another gate. It was a 2-meter-tall muscular bald man with only leather underwear.
His aura belonged to an 8th-stage cultivator. However, his Qi was thinner than usual.
[span]Kang Yan recognized this type of aura. She had seen Lu Fengxian and she recognized his type. [/span]
He was a physique cultivator!
Upon seeing Kang Yan, the bald man laughed.
"I guess this is my lucky day! I get to fight a fledging nascent soul sow. Hey, little girl. Surrender now, and be my concubine. I'll cherish you!"
"How about no."
"Then, I'll ravish you in public and make you my sex doll!"
The crowd cheered again. Every man stood up and chanted.
"RAVISH HER!"
"RAVISH HER!"
"…"
Kang Yan sighed and covered her face with her right hand. Her pupils glowed as she glared at the bald man through her fingers.
Meanwhile, Fang Yanxu waved his hand to start the match, "BEGIN!!"
The bald man took off his underwear and revealed his erected pole. He also strolled toward Kang Yan in leisure.
"COME! LET ME GET A TASTE OF YOU!!"
Seeing how perverted this tournament was, Kang Yan's aura burst. She created a green beam sword, similar to what Miaomiao did earlier. However, it was brighter and more brilliant like the ray of the sun.
VHOOM
Kang Yan reappeared behind the bald man, leaving a trail of a green beam.
The bald man paused for a moment. His face turned dark.
The 12-inches rod that he was proud of had fallen on the ground.
Kang Yan had cut it off!
The man screamed in shock. He picked the meat and stuck it back to where it belonged. A second later, the wound mended, and it was reconnected.
"BITCH!! I WAS PLANNING TO BE LENIENT ON YOU!!"
VHOOM
VHOOM
A thousand lights suddenly flashed in front of him. Without waiting for the man to react, Kang Yan slashed him a thousand times!
Moreover, she started making a weird pose by covering a part of his face with her hand, and a Dao Music echoed.
AI-YAI-YAI-YAI
An Aztec dubstep resounded in the arena as background music along with the appearance of Kang Yan's new Dao Avatar, the statues of three half-naked muscular giants.
"You can't defeat the ultimate lifeform."
The bald man's blood turned into plum blossom flowers, and trees grew inside him. He was eaten alive by several growing plum trees.
Just like that, Kang Yan slaughtered the 8th-stage physique cultivator within a minute!
