"Violent Ape Fist!"
The wind was torn apart by Sun Wukong's attack and Quan made the quick decision to dodge rather than take it head-on.
Seeing that his attack did not hit its target, Sun Wukong was not dismayed but sent more attacks in a frenzy.
Quan had no time to retaliate and could only dodge and deflect the attacks sent at him.
*Thud!*
Finally, Sun Wukong landed a hit on him that sent him tumbling multiple steps backward.
'Yes!'
Sun Wukong wasted no time and followed up with another punch, but Quan got angry after the taste of iron filled his mouth, and he forced it down his throat.
'I am not holding back any longer!'
"Earthen Firmament Slash!"
Quan sent a powerful sword attack which collided with the essence energy-coated fist of Sun Wukong.
*Bang!*
Both of them took many steps backward and then engaged in a frontal confrontation again.
Quan had an angry look on his face as he fought this mad young man who had a grin on his face despite the sword wounds that were increasing on his body.
'Damn it! How is he so strong?! Does he have a battle power rating that is leagues above mine?' Quan was no longer as confident in his win as before.
Even though he had a greater cultivation level and also had the advantage in movement technique and martial techniques, he was outclassed in strength and pure speed.
'I can't lose to this idiot! I guess I will have to use that pill, damn it!'
Quan suddenly went on the defensive and focused on keeping a distance between himself and Sun Wukong.
At the same time, a red pill discreetly appeared in his left hand while his right hand still held his sword.
No one noticed this except for Arthur who was monitoring the entire place with his soul power.
'That's not good.'
Although Arthur noticed it, he decided to do nothing about it as he would expose himself if he did.
He was still waiting for something before deciding whether he would reveal himself or not.
He recognized the pill, 'The Berserk Pill, which increases their physical attribute at the cost of being unable to use essence energy for a day.'
Meanwhile, a similar situation was happening at another corner of the battlefield as Balor faced a disciple who was supposedly the current fifth-ranked outer court disciple.
During his training with Arthur Balor had managed to comprehend Sword Intent up to the third level which was rare amongst sword-cultivating disciples of the outer court.
At this point, he was going all out and his third-level sword intent was fully released and suppressed his opponent who only had comprehended second-level sword intent.
*Clang!*
The sound of their swords clashing echoed in the valley and Balor had the upper hand in the fight.
*swoosh!*
pαпdα-ň?νê|·сóМ His opponent sent a horizontal slash at him but he used his sword to skilfully redirect it to the left and with his sword still in contact with his opponent's, Balor drew his sword forward.
"Argh!"
The result was a slash on his opponent's hand, injuring him and causing him to drop his sword.
After that, his opponent quickly retreated.
"What is your name?" He asked with gritted teeth.
During the beginning of their fight, Balor wanted to introduce himself as a way of showing respect to fellow swordsmen even though they were enemies.
But he didn't expect the response he received. He was belittled and was told that his name will not be remembered anyway as he will be defeated like a no-named swordsman.
Balor hated being looked down on as he had gone through that all his life, so immediately after he heard those words, he went all-out right off the bat.
"You are not qualified to know my name," Balor said coldly.
The fifth-ranked disciple was stunned by the reply as Balor had thrown his previous words back at him.
"Hmph! I admit that you are indeed skilled, but this was only a lucky hit and nothing more."
"Oh, is that so?"
"Yes."
"If that is true then pick up your sword and fight me again, and I will show you if I was lucky or not," Balor said coldly and kicked his opponent's sword to him.
'You think you've won right? You will regret it soon enough!'
The young man picked up his sword and performed a confusing movement technique where he rotated his body and sent a sword slash at Balor.
"Hah!"
What Balor was unaware of was that while his opponent performed that movement he secretly swallowed a red pill.
So when he saw the sword attack, he used his sword to block it rather than dodge or deflect it.
*Bang!*
Balor's feet formed a dent in the ground due to that and his sword almost left his hand as he retreated.
'What happened?' He was shocked by the sudden spike in his opponent's strength.
As for the other group battle between the Invincible Sword Faction members and the seven outer disciples of the Blood Sword Faction, things were going much smoother.
"Argh!" In a short amount of time, Luke had rendered two of their opponents incapable of fighting by knocking them out.
He would sneak attack them when they least expected it under the guise of retreating from whoever he was facing head-on at that time.
This did well to increase the morale of his faction members and they also gained the upper hand, thereby putting their opponents in a tight spot where they began to accumulate injuries.
"Everyone, take it now! We can't lose!" One of them shouted at the others.
Luke quickly noticed the situation, "Stop them!"
With his command, the others also saw that something was wrong and went all-out in their attacks.
The pills were knocked out of the hands of four of them and only one managed to swallow it, albeit while getting injured in the process.
"You guys are done for now!" His voice sounded hoarse and ed with rage.
"Be careful!" Luke warned.
Unfortunately, his warning didn't get a perfect result as one of their members did not react fast enough to the increased speed of the young man.
*Crack!*
"Argh!"
His shoulder was dislocated and his body was flung away.
*Bang!*
"Who's next."
They all stopped in their tracks, as Luke's mind races with a viable plan to defeat their now enhanced enemy.
