Chapter 301: JUNIOR, YOU DARE?
An uproar spread in the audience upon seeing the events. They had seen the two core disciple attempt to suppress Wang Xiong and now he was openly opposing them despite the threat of the disciplinary pavilion.
There were few people who were unafraid of the disciplinary pavilion, and even the elders were not free from their clutches. Perhaps only the high elders and the sect patriarch could ignore them and resist their actions.
It was safe to say though, the two core disciples were absolutely offended by his words.
“JUNIOR, YOU DARE!” both of the core disciples shouted in unison.
“YES, I DARE! I challenge you two to a duel!” Wang Xiong shouted before talking out an object from his spatial storage ring.
“Stop him! He’s trying to use a forbidden talisman!” one of the core disciples shamelessly accused.
He had said this casually, trying to frame Wang Xiong further, he had seen that the object in Wang Xiong’s hand was a communication jade slip but he didn’t care for it. Sadly for him… his fake accusation was true.
~crack~
~shua~
A blinding light came from the jade slip as Wang Xiong shattered it. The light was too bright for even the elders to be seeing anything and they had to close their eyes. As for those that were in the audience, they flinched with pain.
“ARGH! It hurts!
Their eyes hurt from the bright light and even closing their eyelids didn’t work as much and they needed to put their palms against their eyes.
~Rumble~
The people could hear some noise coming from the stage while the ones who were on the stage felt the ground shake.
Then… it happened.
~boom~
The sound of an explosion could be heard as the pieces of the stone stage flew everywhere.
“What was that? I can’t see!” the people in the audience shouted.
When the light finally faded away, they saw a shocking scene on the stage. Wang Xiong was now looking quite different from before.
He was covered in a green crystalline armor that fully covered his body from head to toe. There were gauntlets with a spiky exteriors and boots that had talons. His shoulders had long curving spikes on them and a malevolent looking helmet covered his face.
The helmet looked like the skull of a beast and had two red horns on top of it. But that was not all, as Wang Xiong was now floating in the air while strong spirit Qi fluctuations came off his body.
“W-what is is that!” the people in the audience couldn’t help but wonder.
This was unlike anything they had seen, and they were intrigued by it.
The elders were also anxious now and wondered if what the two core disciples had said was true or what. After all, Wang Xiong’s current appearance did look quite like that of a demonic cultivator.
“See! I told you all he was a demonic cultivator!” The man with the command token proclaimed.
Wang Xiong paid no attention to their words anymore and directly attacked.
~Shua~
The speed of the attack was very fast and wind attribute spirit Qi was mixed in it.
“Damn! How did he suddenly get so powerful?” The man with the command token said as he blocked the attack.
He was pushed back ten steps before he was able to stop. The second core disciple took out an Axe and slashed at Wang Xiong as a shockwave spread around him as the center.
~DENG~
“HOW?” The core disciples said upon seeing that his attacks were blocked by Wang Xiong’s hands.
There was nary a scratch on the armor, and it was as if nothing could harm it. Even the elders were now wary of Wang Xiong and entered into an offensive stance.
“Wang Xiong, stop this now.” The elder said.
“No! I will not. I now know what kind of people they are. Nothing will come out of this. I shall take it into my own hands!” Wang Xiong said as he pushed back the Axe.
The two core disciples and Wang Xiong continued exchanging blows while the elder kept watching from the side.
Wang Xiong was about to punch again, but then a sword made out of ice suddenly attacked him from the side.
“I said stop!” the elder said he hands in an attacking position. It was evident he was the one who had shot out that attack.
“Do not interfere, elders!” Wang Xiong warned.
“You leave us no choice, Wang Xiong.” The other two elders said as they too, joined the stage.
Wang Xiong gritted his teeth and looked at the five opponents that he now had.
“SO BE IT!” he uttered.
‘Senior, do it, I’m ready!’ Wang Xiong said in his mind.
“About time. I was getting bored with them.” Lin Wu said with a chuckle.
Everything that happened after the two core disciples entered the stage was planned by Lin Wu and he had already told Wang Xiong that something like this would have happened. Lin Wu had also left instructions with him on what to do if something like this happened.
Though Lin Wu had not expected that they would be so influential that even the elders would not question them.
‘Seems like I overestimated this sect’s capability. While they look good from the outside, internally they are already corrupt.’ Lin Wu thought.
“Though this just makes things a bit easier than before.” Lin Wu murmured.
Lin Wu knew that if they were corrupt, the thing that they would listen to best would be nothing other than pure power. While Lin Wu was wary of the Dao Shell realm cultivators of the sect, he had been watching the map the entire time and no reaction could be seen on it.
‘For them, this is probably just some meaningless squabble that is below them. Thankfully, this gives me plenty of time to work things out.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
He then spoke, “Wang Xiong! Prepare to have the fastest breakthrough of your life!”
