Chapter 360: Taking the Stage
The crowd was speechless for a few moments before they erupted in cheer.
“Holy crap, Du Chen may be a scoundrel, but his technique is really impressive.”
“I know right, the Swift Feather Sect had truly chosen their death. How could they possibly win against the Purple Scorpion Sect.”
“Indeed, look at how easily Du Chen won against their disciple. It hasn’t even been a minute.”
As the crowd cheered for Du Chen, Yang Wei and the others quickly hopped on the stage to check Jiang Tou’s condition.
“Is he alright?” Lian Xinyue asked.
Yang Wei shook his head.
“Jiang Tou has been poisoned heavily and his life would have been in danger if he hadn’t consumed the poison resistance pill.” Yang Wei said.
“Damn it, how could Du Chen be so vicious.” Lian Xinyue gnashed her teeth as she glared angrily at Du Chen.
“Aiyah, little beauty. If you look at me with such eyes, then I might really unleash my manhood on you.” Du Chen laughed heartily.
“I’ll kill him!” Lian Xinyue shouted.
However, Yang Wei quickly held her wrist as he dragged her back when she was about to fight Du Chen.
“Calm your anger, Lian Xinyue. Du Chen is purposely provoking you.” Yang Wei warned.
“Hahaha, the Swift Feather Wind Sect disciples are indeed cowardly. Look at him, not even willing to fight me yet have the nerve to hold a lady back from fighting.” Du Chen’s voice was loud and thunderous.
“Stand back, Lian Xinyue.” Yang Wei said as he ordered the other disciples to carry Jiang Tou off the stage.
“Here, feed this pill to Jiang Tou and he should be fine in a while,” he then threw a pill toward them as he stayed on the stage.
Although it may be a bit early for him to step up, Yang Wei wanted to test out his new techniques.
In addition, he couldn’t wait to bash Du Chen’s arrogant and cocky face.
Not only did he rely on his poison to obtain victory, but he was also extremely annoying.
Yang Wei couldn’t bear to listen to his nonsense for a second.
Retrieving his Lightbane, Yang Wei pointed it toward Du Chen as he showed a fierce gaze.
“Du Chen, let’s see if you can defeat me.” Yang Wei snickered coldly.
“Heh, just a mere Foundation Core Realm such as you want to beat me down?” Du Chen started laughing as he clutched onto his stomach.
“Hahaha, you are really joking with me. I just defeated a Core Formation Realm easily, so what makes you think you can defeat me?” He added.
“Whether I can defeat you or not, we’ll have to fight it out to know.” Yang Wei said as he glanced at Grand Elder Huo.
Without his announcement, the fight would not begin, and violating this rule will result in disqualification.
Thus, the two of them were only verbal fighting and didn’t actually fight yet.
A few seconds later, Grand Elder Huo glanced at Yang Wei with a solemn expression.
However, it was only for a split second before he announced aloud, “The second fight, Du Chen from the Purple Scorpion Sect will fight against Yang Wei from the Swift Feather Wind Sect.”
With the announcement, Yang Wei quickly activated his movement technique.
A swooshing sound was created as Yang Wei appeared in front of Du Chen.
Yang Wei thrust his Lightbane toward Du Chen’s face without hesitation.
Right when Du Chen was about to provoke Yang Wei while dodging his Lightbane stab, he noticed their distance was actually closing in rather than pulling apart.
‘What the?’ Du Chen was alarmed as he activated a spiritual qi barrier to block off Yang Wei’s stab.
CLANK!
The Lightbane collided with Du Chen’s barrier as he was forcefully pushed backward from the impact.
His hand began trembling as the stab from Yang Wei was extremely powerful.
“H-How is this possible?” Du Chen said in disbelief. “There’s not an ounce of spiritual qi in his Lightbane so how was the stab this forceful?”
Alas, he couldn’t even comprehend what just happened when Yang Wei continued to pursue him.
A mirage was created as Yang Wei’s speed of utilizing his Lightbane increased further.
Du Chen continued to be pushed back without even getting a chance to poison Yang Wei.
‘Damn it, at this rate I will be pushed off the stage.’ Du Chen cursed inwardly.
Du Chen was unwilling to be defeated like this as he exuded a powerful aura and kicked the ground hard.
Propelling himself backward, Du Chen managed to create a distance between them as he opened his mouth.
“Yang Wei, you are really a coward, but rest assured, I will make sure to bang your woman well once you are defeated.” Du Chen shouted loudly, hoping to provoke Yang Wei and have him reply back.
Alas, it was a futile effort.
Yang Wei had already figured out how Du Chen managed to poison Jiang Tou despite consuming a poison resistance pill.
It was during the time when Jiang Tou opened his mouth to argue Du Chen’s words that he got poisoned.
Thus, Yang Wei wouldn’t bother with any talking as he focused on thrusting his Lightbane at Du Chen.
As time slowly passed by, the crowd started to realize Du Chen was all bark and no bite.
“What the hell? Wasn’t Du Chen extremely arrogant and powerful? How come he’s getting pushed back again and again.”
“Ugh, there goes my fucking money betting. Du Chen is useless as hell when he can’t poison his opponent.”
“Tch, as expected, you can’t trust anyone from the notorious Purple Scorpion Sect.”
When Du Chen heard the loud booing from the crowd, his eyes had quickly turned bloodshot as he glared angrily at Yang Wei.
“Yang Wei, I will destroy you,” Du Chen roared as he decided to stop trying to poison Yang Wei.
With an explosive step, Du Chen closed the distance between them as he clawed his hand out.
Yang Wei narrowed his eyes when he noticed this.
‘Hmph, did you think coating your nails with poison is enough to counter me?’ Yang Wei sneered inwardly as he easily avoided Du Chen’s strike.
Afterward, he swung the Lightbane downward, creating an arc slashing full of spiritual qi.
It was a technique he had created during the training program from Senior Fan Ping. A technique that would allow him to attack in a long-range.
‘Go to hell, Du Chen!’ Yang Wei screamed internally as he watched the arc slashed toward Du Chen.
Du Chen had his eyes wide open when he felt the terrifying amount of power in that arc slash.
He began to panic as he tried to escape to his right side to dodge the move.
However, Yang Wei had already expected that as he swung his Lightbane two more times.
Now with three arc slashes occurring, there was literally no escape path for Du Chen to run to.
“Fuck it, I will definitely block it at all cost.” Du Chen retrieved an animosity pill as he consumed it.
Soon, veins began popping out everywhere from his body as his eyes turned fiery red.
In addition, his clothes had been shredded by the sudden increase of power.
Despite gaining a huge increase of power, Du Chen wasn’t happy a bit because the pill consumed his very own life force to sustain.
“I’ll slaughter you, Yang Wei.” Du Chen roared as he charged toward the arc slash.
BOOOM!
The arc slash collided with Du Chen as a loud explosion occurred.
The crowd had expected Du Chen to have fallen down by now.
“It’s over, that Yang Wei is simply way too strong.”
“A Foundation Core Realm was able to suppress a Core Formation like Du Chen is way too impressive.”
“WHO THE FUCK SAYS I LOST??” From the dust of smoke, Du Chen suddenly screamed with a mighty voice as he charged out the smoke and launched toward Yang Wei.
Yang Wei hadn’t expected him to actually still be alive from that strike as he quickly used his Lightbane to block his strike.
Yang Wei was pushed back 3 meters away as he vomited a mouthful of blood.
The raw strength from Du Chen was unbelievably powerful and Yang Wei could tell the longer the time passed, the weaker the life force of Du Chen had become.
‘For a tournament, you would rather sacrifice your life for victory huh.’ Yang Wei didn’t laugh at his actions since everyone wants to win by stepping onto the stage.
However, if you have to lose your life to achieve it, then what’s the point of winning when you can’t even enjoy the process of being the champion.
“Since you are this desperate to win, then I will also show you my real prowess.” Yang Wei spoke for the first time as he retrieved a pill to consume.
A surge of soul energy erupted from Yang Wei’s body as he stabbed his Lightbane to the stage.
With his hand making a grasping motion, Yang Wei mumbled softly.
“Stellar Soul”
