Rebirth: City Sovereign

On the right side stood a tall and muscular man. In his hand was a longsword that was emitting a silver light, and on the body of the sword, there were gold threads intertwined. It was none other than the Liu Family's Liu Hongxiang.    

At the left side, Lee Nan had both his hands behind his back, and was silently looking at Liu Hongxiang, who was staring at him, with a relaxed smile on his face.    

Seeing the two youths' figures, the audience's mood instantly rose.    

"His first battle was between Lee Family and the Liu Family? This is interesting! "    

As there was only one Martial Arts Conference every three years, there were thirty-two registered families in Baihe City. Every family had one member assigned to them, and once they lost a competition, they would no longer be fated to be the champion.    

As a result, every clan would send out their strongest young people, and Lee Nan, as the only direct son of the Lee Family himself, had always been a nurturing target of the Lee Family. It was natural for him to participate in Martial Arts Conference.    

Not far away, a few people were seated on the right side of the Martial Arts Platform. They were precisely the Loong Family people led by their Patriarch Long. At this moment, they were all looking at Lee Nan with grave expressions.    

A Loong Family elder looked at Lee Nan's confident appearance, coldly snorted, and said.    

"Hmph, I never thought that the first participant to come out would be someone with Lee Family. If Lee Nan loses in this first round, then it would be a joke."    

"Impossible!" The dragon looked at Lee Nan's relaxed appearance with both his hands hidden in his sleeves, and said with a serious expression.    

Behind the dragon's back, the Loong Family elder seemed to have done a thorough investigation, and said while refusing to admit defeat.    

"I think it's possible. That Liu Family's attainments in the Martial Arts are not weak, it's just that they have never had the Lee Family like the others. With help from their superiors, they have been suppressed by that Lee Family ever since they became famous."    

"Not only our Loong Family, the Liu Family's resentment towards that Lee Family has accumulated for almost a hundred years."    

"Also, I heard this year, this Liu Hongxiang from the Liu Family is very strong. Even amongst the participants of the recent Martial Arts Conference, he is the strongest, and have mastered all sorts of Martial Arts."    

"I think, he might not even need Master to do anything, this Lee Nan who doesn't know his place, will be taken care of by Liu Hongxiang."    

The dragon wanted to say no more, only silently watched the Martial Arts Platform, waiting for the start of the match.    

Liu Hongxiang looked at Lee Nan's relaxed appearance, his expression was filled with displeasure, and he opened his mouth to speak, as he coldly spoke.    

"You seem very confident. Do you think you've won for sure?"    

"Otherwise?" Lee Nan said with a grin, as if it was a matter of course.    

"Dong, dong, dong!" Just as the two were in a confrontation, the gongs and drums suddenly sounded. It was Sass's signal to start.    

The moment he heard the gongs and drums, the sword in Liu Hongxiang's hands cut through the air, the sword tip aimed at Lee Nan's chest, and shouted loudly.    

"Tai!"    

Rising spirit energy beneath his feet, Liu Hongxiang stomped hard on the ground and rushed straight for Lee Nan!    

While Lee Nan stood in his original position, without even moving an inch, he only raised his hand, and produced a small Magic Formation s to block in front of him, blocking the fierce thrust of the longsword.    

"Clang!"    

Sparks were formed in the air, the long sword clashed with the Magic Formation, and unexpectedly forced Liu Hongxiang, who was taking the initiative to attack, back more than ten metres.    

After failing to succeed with his first strike, Liu Hongxiang did not give up. He changed his pace and stepped forward once again.    

"Hmph, with just this bit of strength, you think you're worthy to be my opponent?" Lee Nan continuously dodged or blocked Lee Nan's attacks as he spoke with a disdainful expression.    

Liu Hongxiang didn't pay any attention to him, he only focused on maintaining the rhythm of his attacks.    

Explosions that shook the atmosphere continuously came out from the Martial Arts Platform, and the spectators below the stage watched as Lee Nan and Liu Hongxiang fought. All of them held their breath, not daring to make a sound.    

On top of the Martial Arts Platform, Liu Hongxiang turned his body while borrowing the inertia, he suddenly waved both of his hands, and the silver longsword once again struck onto Lee Nan's technique.    

"Bang bang!"    

"Useless!" Lee Nan flicked his finger to deflect the attack, and laughed in ridicule. But at this moment, something unexpected happened.    

Liu Hongxiang grinned and laughed coldly. He retracted his hands, changing the center of the sword grip to holding the end of the sword.    

The golden threads wrapped around the longsword fiercely twisted and the entire incomparably hard sword body was flung out like a whip!    

The change was too sudden, to the point that Lee Nan did not even have time to react, his body was hit by the golden whip, causing him to retreat a few steps.    

"Fuck, what's going on?" A good and long sword suddenly turned into a whip, Lee Nan was naturally shocked, but Liu Hongxiang would not give him a chance to be surprised. He held onto the whip with one hand and continued to swing it, smashing the stone floor of the entire Martial Arts Platform.    

Being suppressed by Liu Hongxiang in such a way, how could Lee Nan be convinced? He immediately roared, and his entire body released a violent pressure, causing Liu Hongxiang to retreat a few steps, he raised his hand and rushed towards Liu Hongxiang.    

"Not good, he wants to stick close to Liu Hongxiang's body for close combat!" An elder of Loong Family suddenly became nervous and immediately shouted.    

As the weapon for long-ranged attacks, the long whip was easy to defend against, but close combat was practically useless. Lee Nan clearly understood this point, with just a few steps in the air, in the blink of an eye, it had reached a location a few meters away from Liu Hongxiang's body, raising his hand to release a burst of Spirit Qi.    

But Liu Hongxiang's expression did not change, the hand holding the whip moved up, the long whip actually turned back into golden threads wrapped around it, in that moment, the silver sword actually revealed itself once again!    

"F * ck!" His eyes reflected the sword that was aimed at him, causing Lee Nan's face to change as he shouted out.    

But as someone who had been nurtured with all of his Lee Family, Lee Nan's reaction speed was extremely fast. The moment the longsword pierced over, Lee Nan's wrist turned, and the spirit energy that was just about to shoot out shot out explosively from his side, pushing Lee Nan's body to the side a few meters, and that was it, causing Lee Nan to dodge the fatal sword stab.    

"Putong."    

With his two feet on the ground, Lee Nan looked at the sword in Liu Hongxiang's hands, and his expression finally changed.    

Liu Hongxiang held the long sword in his hand and swung it around skillfully, revealing a ridiculing smile. He was obviously provoking Lee Nan.    

"Why? Aren't you very confident? Why aren't you attacking?"    

"Humph!"    

When Lee Nan heard it, his expression immediately changed. He suddenly jumped up and down, and like a cannonball, he flew towards Liu Hongxiang.    

The two of them started fighting like this again. This time, the two of them clearly got serious, unleashing the strength of the Foundation Stage cultivators, causing huge explosions continuously. If not for the countless defensive techniques that had been added to the Martial Arts Platform, most likely, the Martial Arts Platform would have been shattered long ago and the spectators would have been blown away by the blast from the explosion.    

Everyone present looked at Liu Hongxiang's unpredictable attacks, and they were all shocked speechless. Most of their gazes were focused on the golden silk sword in Liu Hongxiang's hand.    

They understood, Liu Hongxiang's strength was not as strong as Lee Nan's, and because of this golden silksword, they were unable to separate from Lee Nan, and in a short period of time, even held the upper hand.    

In the distance, the Liu Family saw how Liu Hongxiang and Lee Nan were fighting, and a faint smile appeared on their faces. This was the result that they wanted.    

"Wh-what is this weapon?" "When did those old fogeys of the Liu Clan get their hands on treasures?" One of the Loong Family elders was startled for a moment, and then said. Including Long Xiang, the other Loong Family members also shook their heads.    

"It's the Silver Striped Deer Sword." At this time, a white figure landed at the place where the Loong Family s were gathered. When the Loong Family s saw this, they immediately revealed respectful expressions.    

The one who spoke was Ye Kai, who was currently showing an expression of interest, and looking at the two people fighting on the Martial Arts Platform, he actually had a trace of a smile on his face.    

He never thought that there would be so many rare collections of the citizens of White River City!
