Chapter 89: Tournament-5!
Mo Fan, standing on the edge of the ring, looked at Bai Leng with wide eyes.
“Bai Leng, I admit that you are a strong opponent and if I was even a bit more careless, I would’ve been eliminated just now, but looks like my luck is still strong. You’ll realize just how bad your luck is, that I am still in this match!”
Saying that, Mo Fan got into the horse stance with both of his hands to the side. He had understood that if he wanted to win, this skill was the only way.
He had to take Bai Leng by surprise and eliminate him in one go.
His fists began to get engulfed by a dark Misty hue that appeared ominous.
Bai Leng could sense the power contained in this skill that Mo Fan was conjuring.
Recognizing his own strength, Bai Leng contemplated: “This skill… I can’t stop it if I face it head-on. Sigh… Looks like I’ll have to rely on my weapon for this.”
Thinking that, he looked at Mo Fan with a praising smile as he reached for the handle of the sword that was tied to his back.
“Mo Fan, I commend you for making me resort to using my weapon. You can feel proud even if you lose today!”
Saying that he pulled the shiny silver sword out of the scabbard. This sword was long, sharp, and anything but ordinary.
“Mo Fan, witness the sword that I have inherited from the Sword King himself. It was due to this inheritance that I began to use sword and got interested in sword path even though I’m from Crimson Sky Sect. It carries the dao marks of the sword path and can control sword qi to cut anything!”
Mo Fan ignored him as he completed the preparation for his Heavenly Asura Fist.
“Bai Leng, stop blabbering and face my ultimate skill!”
Mo Fan yelled before stomping on the ground and jumping towards Bai Leng.
Bai Leng rolled to the side at the last second and,
Boom!
Mo Fan’s fist collided with the ground, making small cracks appear on the ring and exploding an intangible wave of energy that brushed passed Bai Leng.
Bai Leng’s eyes widened in surprise upon witnessing the power contained in that skill. It even surpassed his estimations. He appreciated his decision to dodge that attack since he would’ve been eliminated for sure if hit by that.
But now that he had an idea about this skill’s power, he knew just how much sword qi to use to counter his attack.
He stood straight before sending his soul energy to the sword as it began to shine with a silvery white glow.
Mo Fan, however, didn’t even flinch as he again stomped and jumped toward Bai Leng.
Bai Leng also swung his sword towards his fist.
Boom!
Mo Fan’s fist collided with Bai Leng’s sword, giving rise to an explosion that sent both of them flying, However, only one of them landed out of the ring while the other was saved by his luck.
This all came to luck in the end.
“Winner, Crimson Sky Sect’s Bai Leng!”
It was only due to his luck that Bai Leng was farther away from the ring’s edge compared to Mo Fan and since Mo Fan was closer to the edge, he was eliminated easily.
Bai Leng, with haggard breathing, left the ring. He appeared tired for the first time in this tournament.
The next match was Ashen’s. Like always he appeared in the ring.
And this time too, his opponent surrendered.
Actually, it was the sect leader of his opponent’s sect who had a bad premonition in his heart and he chose to withdraw this disciple from the match.
“Why am I not even surprised?” Ashen sighed internally before leaving the ring.
The world’s will was helping his opponents save their lives by withdrawing from these matches.
The next two matches also ended quickly. Han Yujin was still in the tournament.
So now, the semi-finalists were Bai Leng, Ashen, Yujin, and a protagonist from Shadow Veil Sect.
“The Semi-Finals of the tournament, Begin!”
Chen Lu announced: “Semi-finalists for the first match, come forward!”
As soon as he said that, Ashen came on the ring as he patiently waited for Bai Leng.
He wanted to see if Bai Leng would also withdraw from the tournament just because of him.
However, this question was soon answered as Bai Leng appeared on the ring.
“Oh, Looks like the world’s will can save him from me without making him withdraw like the others. I’d like to see how!” Ashen thought in his mind.
“Match Begin!”
And as soon as the announcement was made Ashen disappeared from his spot before suddenly appearing in front of Bai Leng.
Bai Leng’s eyes widened in disbelief upon witnessing his speed. He could sense the killing intent released by Ashen.
“Die!” Bai Leng read Ashen’s lips movement as he saw the incoming chop of Ashen, covered in shiny qi.
He could feel the stinging sensation from afar and knew that if this attack hit him, he would die.
“Stop Ashen, otherwise Your Master will die!”
As soon as these words resounded in the arena, Bai Leng saw the incoming chop stop just before touching his neck.
Next, Ashen and Bai Leng, both looked at the sect leaders’ seating area from where the voice originated from.
Bai Leng saw that Ashen had his eyes widened at the scene he and everyone witnessed.
Chen Lao was standing behind Feng Xue with his hand placed on her neck, but that wasn’t all. The four lower sect’s sect leaders, all have been apprehended in the same way by the top six sect’s sect leaders.
Even peak master Xia had been apprehended by the peak master of Crimson Sky Sect in a similar manner.
Right now, the four lower sects were captured by the top six sects.
“What are you doing, Chen Lao?” Feng Xue asked with a frown. She knew that this was no joke and her life was at stake right now.
Chen Lao could easily end her life if she made any wrong move.
Liu Nutong, who was also apprehended, asked: “Yes, Sect Leader Chen Lao, what is the meaning of this?”
Hearing their panicked voice, Chen Lao revealed a cunning smile as he said menacingly: “It is what it looks like! Now, if you tried to fight back, not only would we kill you but also your whole sect elders and disciples who are present here!”
He then fixed his gaze on Chen Lu as he gestured with his eyes.
His gesture saying – ‘Capture Ashen!”
Chen Lu nodded before appearing behind the baffled Ashen and apprehending him in a similar manner.
Ashen was taken by surprise at first, however, then realized the situation he was in.
His life was in Chen Lu’s hands
