Chapter 251: Two against One
[It’s hard to say. The two-coloured stone in my hand was given by Lin Fu but he is not a member of the Death Flower Ascension Front.]
[There is that.] Jiang Yue agreed and frowned.
After that, the two fell silent and thought about things while watching the contest.
Because most of the powerful competitors were grouped in the tenth game, the other games were easy to watch.
In the first game, Lou Ping of the puppet sect didn’t encounter tough competitors and his puppets quickly demolished his opponents.
The second game was won by Xuan Dong.
As soon as he entered the arena, he released his origin fire and turned the martial platform into a sea of flames.
After that, his opponents surrendered one after the other and he soon won the game.
The third, fourth, and fifth games were won by cultivators from the Border faction and the BlueStar Treasure pavilion.
As for the seventh round, it was won by a little-known cultivator who won the first game during the first round on the first platform.
His name was Ding Hong and looked to be less than one hundred years old.
He came from a small clan in the poison valley but his poison technique was better than cultivators from the poison valley.
After the seventh game, the eighth game was won by a cultivator from the sword sect while the ninth game was won by one from the Great Zhu empire.
So far, all the members of the Sea Cloud sect, except Yu Nianzhen were eliminated.
When the bell for the tenth game rang, Yu Nianzhen separated from Jiang Yue and went to the martial platform.
Knowing that he had the lowest cultivation among everyone, Yu Nianzhen expected to be targeted as soon as he got on the stage.
His thoughts proved to be right.
As soon as he went on stage, Zhang Yusen and Qin Yuwen rushed towards him.
Yu Nianzhen had watched both of their competitions and knew what to expect from them.
’Zhang Yusen’s mirage dragon spear art is difficult to deal with. However, it seems to consume a lot of qi and he won’t use it until later in the game.’ Yu Nianzhen thought as he dodged to avoid Qin Yuwen’s water arrows.
As for Qin Yuwen, Yu Nianzhen didn’t dare to let his water fall on his body.
From previous competitions, he knew that Qin Yuwen’s water was corrosive.
If it fell on him, his body would be eroded quickly and he would lose without suspense.
"Qin Yuwen, quickly back off. This brat is my opponent." Zhang Yusen roared and thrust his spear toward Qin Yuwen.
"Does he have your name on him? I attacked him first so he is my opponent."
"Don’t talk nonsense. I arrived before you did."
"What is the use of arriving if you don’t attack?" Qin Yuwen sneered and avoided Zhang Yusen’s attack.
While the two were arguing, Yu Nianzhen took a quick look around the martial platform.
At one end, Kong Chi was fighting Gu Meng. The two were equally powerful and the game was tied for the time being.
In another corner, Zhu Zheng was fighting Du Yihan.
Du Yihan was a disciple of the poison valley and his poison technique was the direct inheritance of the sect.
However, Zhu Zheng was not a vegetarian.
His ice palm was extremely domineering and the cold poison contained within wasn’t easy to handle.
Even Du Yihan who was immune to one hundred poisons didn’t dare to accept the cold poison of Zhu Zheng’s technique.
At the centre of the stage were Dan Qinghong and Mo Tianxing.
Dan Qinghong was a genius of the sword sect and he had already comprehended the second level of sword intent.
Unfortunately, he encountered Mo Tianxing whose divine fist was extremely domineering.
For the time being, neither had the upper hand but their fight was the most dazzling on the martial platform.
As for Lin Fu, no one had challenged him and the person was watching other fights from a corner in the platform.
’It would be bad if he joined Zhang Yusen and Qin Yuwen to attack me.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and felt a sense of urgency.
Without hesitation, he circled around his opponents and appeared on the other side of Qin Yuwen.
His plan was to enter Zhang Yusen’s blind spot and take the opportunity to deal with Qin Yuwen.
"Boy, are you underestimating me?" Qin Yuwen shouted angrily.
From Yu Nianzhen’s movements, he could tell what the other was thinking.
Qin Yuwen hurriedly stopped attacking Zhang Yusen and turned about to face Yu Nianzhen.
In the spectator stands, the air was heated.
Everyone was watching the fights excitedly and opinions were flying everywhere.
"It’s impossible for fellow Daoist Yu to end the fight with one attack." Someone said excitedly.
"It serves him right to be ashamed. Who told him to be so arrogant." Another said and sneered.
"Although fellow Daoist Yu defeated his previous opponents with one move, he never said he would defeat everyone in the same way. Don’t wrong him."
"Are you a spy of the Sea Cloud sect?"
"What are you talking about? I am just telling the truth." The person retorted but didn’t continue to speak for Yu Nianzhen.
After all, it was now known that the sect master of the Sea Cloud sect was a member of the Death Flower Ascension Front.
Although Yu Nianzhen and most other disciples were not involved, they couldn’t avoid the association.
"Does he also deserve to win the martial contest? Yang Xu is injured, who knows if he will join the Death Flower Ascension Front."
"I heard that the Death Flower Ascension Front has a way to let cripples cultivate."
"It’s only a matter of time before Yang Xu joins the Death Flower Ascension Front and becomes our common enemy."
"Don’t go too far." Someone said angrily.
"Ancestor Yang is a hero of our Cangxing world. He has already been injured for more than twenty years. If he was going to join the Death Flower Ascension Front, he would have joined long ago."
"Who knows if he is the mastermind behind the Death Flower Ascension Front."
"You are being unreasonable."
In anger, the person who was defending Yang Xu launched a fireball at the person who was trying to drag Yang Xu through the mud.
"Are you crazy?"
Soon after, the two began to fight, and those around them quickly made space for them.
On the stage, Yu Nianzhen had again dodged Qin Yuwen and was looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Is running around all you can do? I didn’t expect elder Yang’s disciple to be so timid." Zhang Yusen said with a sneer on his face.
However, his expression turned dark the next instant.
Yu Nianzhen could tolerate others looking down on him, but he couldn’t allow them to look down on his master.
As soon as Zhang Yusen mentioned his master, Yu Nianzhen swung his sword at lightning speed.
The attack used half his qi, but it was extremely fast and powerful.
When it landed on Zhang Yusen’s body, it almost split him into two and only left him with one breath.
"You..." Qin Yuwen was horrified.
He didn’t expect Yu Nianzhen to move so fast and make such a ruthless hand.
Most importantly, he couldn’t even see how Yu Nianzhen made the attack.
All he saw was a flash of silver light, and a moment later, Zhang Yusen’s body was on the ground.
’He is only at the first level of the origin tempering realm. How can he be so powerful?’ Qin Yuwen wondered and jumped from Yu Nianzhen.
He targeted Yu Nianzhen because he was the weakest, but he discovered that the other wasn’t as weak as he thought.
Even if it was him, it was impossible to defeat Zhang Yusen using three strikes, let alone one.
"Fellow Daoist Yu is still too ruthless." An ethereal voice floated over, and Yu Nianzhen sighed.
He had been keeping an eye on Lin Fu and didn’t expect he would choose this time to intervene.
’The previous attack used half my qi. Should I replenish before I continue?’ Yu Nianzhen wondered.
He was sure he could defeat Qin Yuwen and Lin Fu using his remaining qi.
However, he was worried about other opponents.
He didn’t want to finish dealing with Lin Fu and Qin Yuwen only to end up in a desperate situation.
With such thoughts, he quickly looked around and recorded the state of the fights.
From the current situation, whoever won the other fights would have lost eight hundred after defeating one thousand.
Alone, they couldn’t threaten Yu Nianzhen, but if they came together, he would be passive.
After that observation, Yu Nianzhen took out a gourd of spiritual water and drank from it while keeping an eye on his opponents.
"Does fellow Daoist Lin want to fight me?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"It’s not that I want to fight. It’s just that I can’t stand the fellow daoist’s ruthlessness." With that, Lin Fu stopped talking, and a crystal ball appeared in his hand.
