I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 54 Did you do it on purpose or by accident?

The moment the whistle blew, Li Wei was still fantasizing about how he would humiliate Ye Qingzhou after crippling him, making him wish he were dead, so that he would regret his actions today.

However, sensing the malice, Ye Qingzhou had no intention of leaving the matter to be resolved after the competition, and he took action without hesitation.

The wind whistles and stomps!

Ye Qingzhou rode the wind, his figure as fast as lightning, and almost instantly attacked Li Wei.

Startled, Li Wei quickly raised his sword to parry.

However, how could Ye Qingzhou let him have his way?

Yin energy, illusory sword!

Like a mirage, the interplay of light and shadow caused Li Wei's sword parry to fail. Ye Qingzhou's sword tip bypassed his defense at a tricky angle, followed by the convergence of the inner energy of the Wind and Forest styles.

Wave after wave, a fourfold combined attack!

Ye Qingzhou's foundation and skills far surpassed Liang Jia's, so he easily used the four-fold combined attack, Overlapping Waves!

Clang~

The sword flashed vertically, instantly severing Li Wei's right arm and right leg at the root. It also unleashed sword energy, shredding large chunks of flesh at the wound site, making it impossible for Li Wei to reattach his limbs even if he could summon a divine physician.

"ah!!!"

With one hand and one foot severed, Li Wei collapsed on the ring, letting out a pig-like scream, blood flowing all over the ground.

In the audience, the butler, Li Jian'en, was enraged to see his benefactor's son crippled. He leaped up and clawed at Ye Qingzhou, shouting, "Such a ruthless attack! You cannot be allowed to live!"

Ye Qingzhou was prepared. He immediately channeled his inner energy into the mountain-like formation, adopting a defensive stance, intending to cut down Li Jian'en as well.

Just then, a cold snort came from the viewing platform.

The sound wasn't loud, yet it overwhelmed the entire venue, resounding in everyone's ears.

Then, the man flicked his finger, and a sharp sword aura shot out, its power immense and imposing, like a towering mountain pressing down.

Boom~

Li Jian'en was struck dumb, crashing back into the audience. His body felt like it had fallen apart. He struggled to his feet, exclaiming, "Flick of the Finger Sword Qi! Liu Yiming, do you intend to become an enemy of the Li Clan of Liancheng?"

"Shut up."

slap~

Hundreds of meters away, Liu Yiming raised his hand and slapped Li Jian'en, knocking out all of his yellow teeth: "If you do it again, you die."

"Holy crap, is this Liu Yiming, the young master of the Mingjian Group?"

"The Hidden Dragon of Yunshan truly lives up to its name! Its finger-flicking sword energy and cleaving palm strikes can instantly kill anyone it encounters!"

"Seriously, Ye Qingzhou is too ruthless! It's just a competition, why break his arms and legs?"

"Hehe, if you ask me, that's a good decision. You guys probably don't know who Li Wei is..."

In just half a minute, it was a dramatic scene. First, Ye Qingzhou crippled Li Wei on the stage, and then Li Jian'en couldn't help but try to break the rules, only to be forcefully suppressed by Liu Yiming.

The whole process was even more exciting than the fencing tournament itself!

After leaving the arena, Li Jian'en, accompanied by referees and members of the martial arts association, came in aggressively, clearly intending to use his connections to cause trouble for Ye Qingzhou.

The martial arts association members glared at Ye Qingzhou: "Why did you cripple Li Wei? Was it intentional or accidental?"

Ye Qingzhou didn't answer, but looked at Li Jian'en: "What do you think?"

"Ye Qingzhou! Your methods are ruthless and your attitude is appalling. I will definitely file a complaint with the Martial Arts Association and bring you to justice. Just you wait, the Li family of Liancheng will not let this go. Don't think Liu Yiming will protect you forever!"

Faced with Li Jian'en's threat, Ye Qingzhou said with disdain: "Actually, you should thank Liu Yiming. If it weren't for him, you would be a corpse by now."

After Ye Qingzhou finished speaking, he got up and left, which made Li Jian'en's face contort with anger.

Pointing at Ye Qingzhou's back, he roared at the referee and martial arts association investigator beside him, "You see, this person is arrogant and lawless. If he is allowed to grow up, he will surely become a menace in the future."

"Alright, alright, our martial arts association values ​​evidence. I will report this matter, but how to handle it is beyond my control."

The investigator gave Li Jian'en a few perfunctory replies, and there's unlikely to be any further developments in this matter.

Just kidding. With the strength Ye Qingzhou has shown, plus his legitimate background as a commoner martial artist, the Hunan Provincial Martial Arts Association would be too busy protecting him to deal with him severely.

Do you, the Li family of Liancheng, have such great influence?

funny.

Besides, no one died, right?

It's not like severed hands and feet are incurable. Anyway, Li Wei's aptitude is just so-so. Rather than letting him waste cultivation resources, it might not be a bad thing if he becomes crippled.

On the other side, Ye Qingzhou, back in the contestant's seat, soon found that the contestants around him were all starting to avoid him.

Ye Qingzhou was simply too brutal on the stage just now.

Currently, only Xu Yuebing, Lei Ang, and Lu Yifan dare to approach Ye Qingzhou.

"What happened? Did he offend you?"

Xu Yuebing had witnessed Ye Qingzhou kill people with her own eyes, but during the time she spent with Ye Qingzhou, she knew even more that Ye Qingzhou was not a tyrannical person.

Ye Qingzhou didn't hide anything, and said calmly, "He hired someone to run me over and cripple me, crippling one of my arms and one of my legs."

One of Ye Qingzhou's life principles is to seek revenge, and he adheres to the principle of reciprocal retaliation.

Lu Yifan sighed: "Li Wei has a bad reputation. I've heard about some of the things he's done. There are actually some ordinary martial arts geniuses who have encountered various accidents after fighting with him."

"Damn it, this kind of person is shameless. He can't win in the ring, so he resorts to dirty tricks outside the ring. He's simply a disgrace to our martial arts world."

Leon, his face filled with righteous indignation, exclaimed, "Master Ye, you did the right thing! If it were me, I would have twisted his head off and used it as a chamber pot!"

Xu Yuebing exclaimed in disgust, "Ugh, you're disgusting!"

In the subsequent round of 16, Lu Yifan lost the match, while Lei Ang demonstrated the powerful strength of his martial arts, using the Five Thunder Seal to knock his opponent off the stage and successfully advance.

And just like that, the list of the top eight was quickly finalized!

Zhu Jinfeng.

Liu Dingjian.

Ye Qingzhou.

Xu Yuebing.

Leon.

Song Li.

Feng Wu.

Cen Chunhui.

After the draw, Xu Yuebing's luck seemed to have run out. Facing Liu Dingjian, the gap in strength between the two was so great that she could not make up for it with tactics and skills.

Leon was lucky to be matched against Song Li, the weakest of the top eight, which means he is guaranteed to advance to the top four.

Ye Qingzhou then faced off against Feng Wu from Jianning No. 2 Middle School, who finished fifth in the previous year.

Feng Wu's strength was not outstanding among the top eight, only slightly stronger than the weakest Xu Yuebing and Song Li. Facing Ye Qingzhou, a ruthless person who was "brutal", he lost his courage before the game even started and could not exert much strength.

Disappointed, Ye Qingzhou used the hilt of his sword to smash him off the stage.

Ultimately, Xu Yuebing was eliminated in the quarterfinals, finishing seventh after defeating Song Li.

Ye Qingzhou and Lei Ang both advanced to the semi-finals, which shocked everyone. Whether at the scene or online, countless people were curious about what kind of auspicious place Linjiang No.1 Middle School was.

This year, three of the top eight teams made it to the quarterfinals and two of the top four teams.

Even if Ye Qingzhou and Lei Ang both win their matches against Liu Dingjian and Zhu Jinfeng in the semifinals, they might meet in the final!
