Chapter 79: Preliminaries-2!
“W-What is going on? Why is Ashen fighting from the enemy team?” Feng Xue was baffled out of her mind. This disciple of hers had betrayed his sect mates so brazenly.
Chen Lao laughed out loud upon witnessing Ashen joining the enemy team to fight his own sect mates:
“Hahaha, Feng Xue. This Wang Ashen never fails to entertain me. From the first time I met him, I took a liking to him. What do you say, just give him to me. He has already betrayed your sect, wouldn’t that be better?” He asked with a mused expression.
At this moment, the Thunder Peak master interjected: “This is really the first time in the history of these tournaments that some disciple had chosen to fight from the enemy sect’s side. See, all the other rings haven’t even started fighting yet.”
Though his peak nascent soul disciple was being targeted in the ring, he didn’t care. There were 64 rings in total, why would he care about every single disciple?
It was just Ashen who was attracting the attention of all the spectators.
Feng Xue could only hide her embarrassment by staying quiet and keeping a calm expression on her face while watching the matches.
Peak Master Xia, who was standing behind Feng Xue to guard her, snorted in her mind: “Hmph, I already knew this Wang Ashen was up to no good when he made trouble in the entrance examinations. Mo Fan told me that he didn’t steal the book and it was Ashen who framed him unjustly! He even said that he was an origin realm cultivator but that was something I couldn’t accept. He had only begun cultivating for a month. How can he reach origin realm so easily?”
Meanwhile, in the spectators, Veli and Ling Yun both were shocked to see Ashen joining the enemy’s side: “What is brother Ashen doing? Why is he joining the enemy’s side?”
Ling Yun even now believed that he must have a plan: “D-Don’t worry, Master should have a plan in doing this. He will be the one who will win. Just watch.”
Saying that, she glanced over to ring number 9 where Mo Fan was. They hadn’t begun to engage but the disciples of the Phoenix Feather sect were helping each other and had joined other sects to eliminate their ring’s strongest cultivator.
Due to Ashen’s actions, Most spectator’s eyes were on ring number 26 where they could notice one thing. Ashen wasn’t going head-on to attack, instead, he was staying in the back.
“Brother Ashen, please use your sect’s skill. We have to eliminate them as soon as possible.” Wu Ni requested, engaging the Phoenix Feather Sect’s disciples.
“Yes, Brother Wu Ni!” Ashen said before conjuring fire in his fist, scorching flames gushing out. He then attacked Vi Ling.
Vi Ling noticed the attack as he met his Phoenix Flame fist with his Phoenix Origin Fist.
Boom!
A huge explosion resounded in the area as several of the cultivators from both sides were sent flying out of the ring, getting eliminated.
Now, Vi Ling only had four teammates left while more than twenty-five were on the enemy side excluding Ashen.
The collision of their fists exuded scorching flames, not letting anyone get closer.
For some time it seemed as if they were equal in strength, however, after some moments, Ashen’s face twisted as he was sent back flying, stopping at the edge of the ring.
Seeing this, The female disciple of Phoenix Feather Sect sneered at him: “That’s what you deserve for betraying us, traitor!”
Ashen acted to be injured, lying on the side of the ring as if unable to get up, however, he had a clever grin on his face underneath, hidden from everyone.
The disciples engaged each other, ignoring Ashen. Since he was injured, he was of no use to the enemy team and not a threat either.
They will deal with him later.
A long fight commenced in the ring, exchanging multiple attacks. The Thunder Peak disciple was using the Lightning fist and Lightning Flash palm on his enemies, eliminating them one by one.
At first, it appeared that the eight sect’s team was at a disadvantage since the gap between the cultivators was so big, however, soon everyone noticed the exhausted expressions and ragged breathing of the two peak nascent soul cultivators.
“They are at their limit after using so many skills consecutively! We can do this, just put some more effort!” The leader of the eight sects who had fifth stage nascent soul realm cultivation, shouted.
Due to his high cultivation, he was able to fight the Thunder Peak sect’s cultivator for so long and hold his own against his attacks.
“It’s time for me to show my Crimson Sky sect’s superior skill, Crimson Blood Pump Fist!” He yelled before he grabbed the wrist of his right arm with his left hand tightly, moving his left hand’s grip to the back as if squeezing his right forearm.
Blood appeared and engulfed his right fist: “Take this!”
He attacked, aiming for the Thunder Peak disciple, his arm was in a weird shape. The forearm looked skinny while the area around his elbow was swollen.
The thunder peak disciple responded with his lightning palm, colliding with his blood-engulfed fist head-on.
The crimson sky sect’s disciple was pushed back at first but he didn’t back down. The Thunder Peak disciple on the other hand had his eyes widened in surprise to see that his lightning didn’t affect his adversary and soon he noticed the reason.
His legs were engulfed in blood and the blood was going into the ground. This blood transmitted all the lightning into the ground, through the cultivator’s body.
However, this was the moment of Crimson Blood Pump fist to shine as the elbow which was swollen became relaxed and the swollen area began moving forward reaching his wrist and then his fist.
It was then that everyone realized that this was blood that the disciple had pushed back to his elbow and it acted as a pump when it was all released in one go.
And Boom!
The impact of releasing all the blood in one go gave the disciple extra strength to push back the Thunder Peak disciple who was already exhausted.
And finding the perfect chance all the eight sect’s disciples launched a barrage of attacks on him, sending him out of the arena, eliminating him.
Now only Vi Ling was left.
Vi Ling was approached by the enemy disciples in the hope of eliminating him and he already felt a bad premonition, however, the enemies were also exhausted and there were less than fifteen disciples left while he had three disciples to help him.
At this moment, A familiar voice came from behind the eight sect disciples.
“Haa, Looks like I should stop acting now!”
Everyone turned towards the source of the voice only to find Ashen standing while smiling with a predatory gleam in his eyes.
