Chapter 356: sad
Qiang eyes were blood shot as he shot towards Xing Tao again, waving his remaining arm.
*SLASH*
*THUD*
The king didn’t move from his place and simply cut off another limb from his body, leaving Qiang crying in pain on the ground.
” Ah… Ahhhhhh haa haa I- I am not g- going to… ” Qiang again tried to stand up but Xing Tao didn’t wait for him this time he simply moved forward and stabbed his sword in Qiang’s chest.
” Ughhhhh COUGH COUGH ” Qiang coughed out blood as he fell back on the ground he could feel darkness slowly covering his vision.
” Haa haa COUGH COUGH E- Even if I d- die, ahhhh y- you will never be a- able to marry Xiao you f- fucking pig… ”
After saying those words with a smile on his face, life disappeared from Qiang’s eyes, as his lifeless body lay on the ground.
Everyone including Jayden were surprised by Qiang’s tenacity, even while dying he tried to stop the king, Jayden was impressed by him a little, it seemed his love wasn’t just his lust, maybe he do truly loved her.
The cheers that should have followed the king’s victory didn’t come, and even the king’s mood dampened a bit he didn’t want to kill Qiang but he left no choice, then Xing Tao wondered what Qiang could have meant by his last words.
He returned back to his seat while some people came to carry Qiang’s lifeless body away, after which they cleaned the place properly.
” Well that was a bit sad, I believe that true love has no place in this cruel world unless at least you have enough strength. On these words let’s call our next participants. ”
The announcer tried to change everyone’s mood when she saw the serious faces of people in the crowd.
” The next battle is between Hi Mo from the Mountain Fist sect and Tan Qi from the Iron Giant sect. ”
When these names were announced, two young man wearing different coloured robes jumped from their seats, when they saw each other, one had a depressed expression while the other had a smile.
” I admit defeat. ”
Hi Mo said after raising his arm, since Tan Qi was one stage higher than him, while he is only at the peak of the 8th stage of the Core Formation realm, so Hi Mo decided to end the battle before he was killed.
” Huhu that was rather fast, so this round champion is Tan Qi. ”
The announcer said, and again there weren’t too many cheers from the crowd, they all were expecting some great fights while the first one made them sad and the second one didn’t even take place.
” You can return to your place, and Hi Mo wait for a bit, since this round felt so boring why don’t we add a little fun to it? ” She announced, and the crowd finally began to get excited.
” Anyone from the crowd could challenge this young man here and if you win you will be able to go to the next round. So, who wants to come here and challenge this young man? ”
Everyone in the crowd discussed about this, and they all looked around wondering who would be courageous enough to participate in such a dangerous competition.
There were some young men who were denied entrance at the gate, so they all saw a chance to participate but remembering Qiang’s state they all hesitated a little, but taking advantage of their hesitation one loud voice rang out:
” I challenge Hi Mo. ”
Everyone turned to look at the person who had just spoken and they were all surprised when they saw the second prince standing with his hand raised.
” What are you doing? Don’t forget Father’s orders- ” The first prince tried to pull him down, but the second prince just jerked his hand off and directly jumped into the centre of the ground.
” Oh my, I didn’t know that even the second prince wanted to marry Xiao Rong, well father and son think alike, I guess. ”
The announcer said with a chuckle, and Hi Mo could only shook his head just when he saw a little hope of getting into the next round, the prince had come, even though this prince was weaker than him Hi Mo was well aware of this prince’s personality, even if he beat him up here the prince would just bring his guard later to settle the score.
” Alright, since both the contestants are ready, let’s get this started. ” Saying this she leaves the battle area, the prince just stands there with his arms crossed with a smirk on his face, he knows the person in front of him would never dare to fight him.
” I- I admit defeat ” Hi Mo said with his head down, he knew after this event his reputation would be completely ruined after all he forfeited from the battle two times in a row, and now he probably won’t receive the same preferential treatment from his sect.
” Sigh, I guess today’s matches are bound to make us all disappoint, this one ended fast too making the second prince the winner of this round. ” She announced with a disappointed sigh.
The public showed no reaction again to this, all the hype that had been created in the last two months was turning out to be for nought, the prince had an indifferent expression on his face as he turned around and walks back to his seat.
While Hi Mo walks out of the collisium with slumped shoulders, he was cursing his luck and himself for getting in such a bad situation.
” Now all we have remaining is one more match for the first round, Wang Jin from the Divine Sword sect will be fighting Shan Li from the Iron Giant sect, let’s cross our fingers and pray that this match gives us some excitement. ”
The announcer said and waited for both the participants to come, the Challenger from the Iron Giant sect jumped from his seat and stood in the centre of the ground proudly, then he directed his gaze towards Jayden as if daring him to come and fight him.
He was a man in his mid thirties and was at the 8th stage of the Core Formation realm, and in his eyes Jayden looked to be in the 7th stage of the Core Formation realm.
Jayden stood up and stretched his body, before jumping onto the ground, as he swiftly landed in front of Shan Li, who waited for Jayden to admit defeat.
” Okay then, let the battle begin. ” Saying that the announcer moves away from the battle ground, most people could tell that Shan Li is stronger than Wang Jin so they expected this match to end fast too.
“…”
Jayden brought out his purple sword and took a fighting stance, Everyone was amazed by the brilliance that came out of it, even Wang Jia was surprised since she could clearly remember that this sword was red before but now it seemed completely different and somehow more sharper and stronger.
‘ It was quite strong before too, but now it’s on a complete different level. ‘ Jia thought.
