Chapter 357: Bloody Battle
Wang Jia was sitting on a seat as far away from the royals as possible, she wasn’t happy at first when Jayden had told her that he was going to participate in Xiao Rong’s marriage competition and also wanted to hold it inside the sect, but he had told her two things at that time.
First was, that he is going to kill the king in this match and he also asked her to get the torturing insect ready since she would get to have her revenge now and secondly, he told her that he was going to reveal everything after killing the king and all his army.
Wang Jia reluctantly agreed, and after thinking about it for some time inside her mind she came to the conclusion that nothing else matters as long as he loves her and stays with her.
Jayden had told her about his plan and in the entire thing she just have to stay with Xiao and Lao and get out of there since even Wang Jia won’t be able to defeat someone at the peak of the Spirit Strengthening realm yet.
” So you aren’t going to give up, it would be good for you to forfeit now I don’t want to kill a talented junior, both of us don’t stand any chance against the other contestants anyway. ” Shan Li said, with a shake of his head.
” Stop talking. ”
Jayden said and lunged towards Shan Li, who shook his head again and took out a shiny white sword from his ring.
It was Jayden’s plan to portray himself as weak, to appear equal only to someone at the 8th stage of the Core Formation realm, he waves his sword horizontally moving at less than two per cent of his actual speed, yet Shan Li was surprised by his speed.
When the two swords clashed, Jayden took five steps back while Shan Li took just three steps back, but when he looked down at his sword Shan Li clearly saw a deep mark on his sword.
‘ His sword is probably a high grade treasure. ‘ he thought, everyone understood that even though Jayden was weaker than Shan Li but his purple sword was making up for it, high grade treasures are those that are mostly used by people in the Spirit Strengthening realm, so everyone looked at it with greedy eyes, after all it is very expensive.
” You have a nice sword, I have to say that, now if you exchange your sword with mine I will admit defeat what do you think? Also, I am open to negotiation. ”
Shan Li proposed, he knew he wasn’t going to win the competition anyway so if he could get his hands on this sword his coming here would be more than worth it.
” Stop bullshitting ” Jayden lunged forward again, this time he slashed vertically, aiming for his head.
*CLANG*
Their swords clashed sparks flew again, then Shan Li took this chance to punch Jayden’s stomach with his left hand.
*BANG*
Jayden let the hit connect with his clothes and took many steps back, as he coughed a couple of times he had even prepared a red liquid earlier, that now dripped down from the corner of his lips, in reality, Shan Li’s punch didn’t even tickle him by now there were loud cheers from the crowd, at least this battle was getting interesting.
” You should admit defeat now, or you might get too injured. ”
Shan Li shouted eyeing Jayden’s sword, he wanted to just snatch it away from him but he couldn’t do such a thing in front of so many people, so he decided to meet up with him later and try getting it then.
“…”
Wiping off the blood from his face, Jayden moved forward again their swords clashed again and again, it was clear to everyone that Shan Li was faster and stronger but Jayden had a better weapon and high tenacity, no matter how many times he was pushed back Jayden would lunge forward again.
A lot of blood had come out of his mouth, such that some people couldn’t understand how he was even able to move right now, Xiao laughed under her veil when she saw his acting.
‘ You are over doing it, hehe just throw out a little more blood and this will turn into a bloody swimming pool. ‘
Anna joked, and Jayden decided to end this now, he had begun to enjoy the acting part so he kept throwing out blood and getting hit by Shan Li, who couldn’t understand how Jayden hadn’t fallen unconscious yet.
He wanted to inflict a heavy wound that would force Jayden to stay down but his purple sword would always interrupt the attacks, leaving more and more marks on Shan Li’s sword.
” Just stay down, haa haa b- before your injuries become too severe. ” Shan Li said, he was getting exhausted too.
” Let’s clash for the last time then. ” Jayden said, and his opponent was surprised to not find an ounce of exhaustion or pain in his voice.
” F- Fine, let’s bet our haa haa w- weapon on our l- last strike, what haa haa do y- you say? ” Shan Li said he couldn’t move his eyes away from the purple sword, which turned the atmosphere around a little bit hotter just by its presence.
” Whatever. ” Jayden replied, there was nothing that Shan Fi could offer him anyway.
With a new motivation, Shan Li decided to deliver his most powerful strike, he was adamant about getting that amazing sword, and the entire crowd became silent as they waited for the final clash between the two of them.
Shan Li poured his Qi into his sword that illuminated with a bright light, as he waved it with all his strength towards Jayden’s belly, while Jayden brought his sword down, slashing without much strength.
*BANG*
*TING*
Under everyone’s astonished expressions, Shan Li’s sword broke from the middle and fell to the ground and then Jayden placed his sword on his neck.
Shan Li couldn’t understand what had just happened at first, he could only stare at Jayden with wide eyes then seeing his broken sword he spoke:
” I lost. ”
The crowd roared in excitement, finally, they got to see some interesting battle, the whole battle had taken a little over ten minutes but they could all still feel the adrenaline rushing.
” Wang Jin used Shan Li’s strength against him, he properly used his sword if the Divine Sword Sect has such a genius why haven’t I heard of him yet? ”
Someone from the crowd spoke, and the people around him nodded in agreement.
” I have seen him in the sect competition before, but in such a short time he has become a lot stronger. ”
All the people were talking about him when Jayden placed his sword back into the ring and turned around to walk back towards his seat.
” Whoaaa that was a good battle, and we got our winner Wang Jin from the Divine Sword sect. Let’s hope to see him in action in the next round too. To give some time to all the participants to rest we are taking a twenty minutes break. ”
