"You-" Blood spurted from his mouth and Go Haizang looked at Li Tian with dismay and shock.
"A life for a life. With this, I can only hope that Master Mu will be appeased for a bit." Li Tian sighed and grabbed the spatial ring from a falling Go Haizang.
Even in death, his face was filled with disbelief. He did not want to die. He went to so many lengths just to prolong his life. He sucked up to all the right people, and betrayed so many to survive till now, only to lose his life like this.
Long Xian looked at the scene and frowned.
"Fine. His life was worthless anyways now that he did what he had to. Let us go." Long Xian did not even appear enraged that one of his subordinates was killed. It was like he had no empathy for his own men!
"As you wish, young master." the dragons around Long Tian started flying up with Long Xian in the center, forming a protective circle around him to take him away.
Although Liu Feng did not know why they left him even though this was a close fight, and they could try and kill him, he knew that he had no right to ask. It was Li Tian's choice, as the strongest here, to leave him.
But someone else did have this question, and they voiced it.
"I can sense his breathing. He is critically injured. Why would you leave an enemy like that and let him recover?" the blind grand elder asked.
"When the portal from the ancient realms opens, we do not want the entire Long family to descend here. That is just stupid. If he is alive, then they will send at best three or four Soul Transformation Experts. But the moment that his soul lamp is extinguished, his father will descend, and the whole kingdom will face his wrath." Li Tian said.
"That is why we did not want the Sky Heavens sect to become a part of this fight. We should let those families fight it out. So what if he is your sworn brother? That doesn't mean that the entire sect should pay for that." the second grand elder said.
"The winner of this fight will become the king. The loser will vanish into the annals of history. For a long time, the Sky Heavens sect was always dead last, one of the least powerful among the powers of the kingdom. And because of the first clash of the fight, we became one of the most powerful. And that was just by backing one side. Imagine what would happen if the side we back wins?" Li Tian said.
All of this was very interesting to Liu Feng, but he had no context.
Cough!
Liu Feng suddenly coughed out some black blood. These were the remainder of the injuries that he did have.
Everyone turned to look at him instantly, making him uncomfortable.
"Thank you for saving me?" he said awkwardly.
"To think that this child not only broke the record that Liu Qian set, but also is such a genius in alchemy. Truly inconceivable." the blind elder sighed and shook his head.
Liu Feng looked at the other side of the arena for a bit. While the Handu delegation was quite alright with the middle aged man protecting the young generation from the brunt of the attacks, the same could not be said about the Tiandu delegation.
All of them were below the Xiantian stage, and they did not have a protecting figure. Master Mu, who everyone believed, was proven to be some one else, and the moment it happened, he no longer bothered to protect these alchemists.
Looking at their pale faces, it was clear that they had suffered a few injuries.
The arena was empty by now, because of the distraction that Li Tian had provided.
"You all should go back to your families now. This fight will be difficult to recover from." Li Tian told the alchemists.
"Forgive me, master, but there is something that I must do." Liu Feng stood up and disappeared.
Li Tian looked in the direction of the alchemists. At his stage, he could easily see where Liu Feng was going.
"Give me your spatial ring." Liu Feng said coldly to Gu Hua.
Gu Hua looked at Liu Feng with fear apparent in her eyes. Right now, the man in front of her was no longer just another alchemist. He was also in the Xiantian stage, and had the backing of the entire sky heavens sect, for them to come all the way here to protect him.
Still, she hesitated.
"If you do not give it to me kindly, then I will have to cut the hand itself. I will not show mercy to a heartless witch like you." Liu Feng said with no emotion whatsoever.
She nodded and took off her spatial ring, handing it to Liu Feng. Without even looking at it, he put it inside.
"Yours as well." he looked at Uncle Gi.
"Please show some mercy, young noble. The Gu family will promise to pay you handsomely if you return the spatial ring." Uncle Gi said.
"You should want to stay alive. A young girl this beautiful walking around without any protection would be quite terrifying, wouldn't it?" Liu Feng said.
Not able to counter, Uncle Gi quietly handed his spatial ring to Liu Feng as well.
"I do hope that we will see each other again, Brother Yan. Sister Zhiqui. But there are some things that I have to do right now." Liu Feng quickly disappeared again and went back to the elders.
"Forgive me for my impudence, elders, but I had to exact my payment on those who tried to kill me." Liu Feng knelt on the ground.
Meanwhile, Ding Yan was just staring at Liu Feng with astonishment.
"Just who is that man?"
"Liu Feng. The son of the man who shook the capital city seventeen years ago." Bai Zhiqui whispered.
