Chapter 289: Imperial Martial Tournament – Part 8
Most contestants entered the stadium and enjoyed the limelight fame. They simply stood there, waving at the crowd as if they were winners in life.
As several box seats had been occupied, the youngsters thought that powerful clans or sects had come here to scout for disciple candidates. Everyone thought that if they were to perform well, many good sects might recruit them as their disciples.
These innocent frogs in a well had no clue about the pending danger of the outside world as a group of demons was lurking in this stadium. They were drunk by the temporary glory and fame.
After the entries of 60 contestants, Lu Fengxian entered the arena.
Because of his infamous reputation as a weakling, the other contestants shunned him and prevent him from entering the stadium first. He was forced to enter last, so he couldn't admire the scenery in the arena.
Little did they knew, last entries were usually reserved for main event characters to make their entrance.
"Ding Bu, the son of Ding Yuan, has arrived!"
The families of bullies, crippled victims, and Ding Tong's underlings stopped chatting and turned toward the reincarnated protagonist. Then, they began throwing random objects into the arena, aiming at Lu Fengxian.
"DING, BU, YOU TRASHY ASSHOLE!!"
"DIE, YOU SCUM!!"
"TRASH OF DING FAMILY! YOU DON'T BELONG HERE!!"
These people thought that Ding Yuan didn't favor this child since he was infamous for having no aptitude in cultivation. They yelled and cursed him, believing that he had cheated by using treasures or stolen artifacts.
They didn't even check his current cultivation base or interrogate their children how they had lost to Lu Fengxian!
Their brainlessness and baseless accusation irritated Lu Fengxian. Yet, he didn't show it on his face. While keeping his cool, he strolled into the arena while he ignored all profanity and curses from the crowd.
His action was like adding fuel to fire. The crowd was enraged by his cockiness, and they started using Qi to throw rocks and hard objects at him.
Several stones landed next to him. Many of the random objects hit his body and his head, but they didn't harm him.
Seeing that Lu Fengxian didn't resist, one of the crowd threw a flying knife, aiming to kill Lu Fengxian with his hand.
"ENOUGH!!"
Ding Yuan bellowed and blocked the knife with his dao avatar. An elder next to him also charged at the knife thrower and delivered a punch to the chest.
The knife thrower's chest sunk in. His ribcages broke while his heart and his lung ruptured.
He died on the spot.
Ding Yuan stood up and pointed his fingers at the noisy crowd, "Am I a joke to you!? Do you think you can bully my son in front of me!? Do you think I didn't know what you did to Ding Bu!? Well, you know what? SERVE YOU RIGHT!! Your children deserved it for taking advantage of him for all these years!!"
Ding Yuan revealed his aura as a 6th-stage cultivator as he scolded the angry mob, "If you have the guts, come and say it to my face!! I'll fucking slaughter your entire family!"
"…"
The angry crowd stopped booing and sat down. Some of them averted their eyes and clicked their tongues while a few cupped their fist and accepted their defeat.
The crowd who wasn't a part of Lu Fengxian's rampage incident admired Ding Yuan for protecting his son. They chatted and praised him for being an admirable father.
However, the reality wasn't pleasant as it seemed.
In reality, Ding Yuan was not a caring father but an opportunist. He didn't care about what had happened to Ding Bu, but he valued reputation more than anything else. Capitalizing on the fact that Ding Bu had a bit of ability, he pretended to be a benevolent father who was proud of his son.
While Ding Yuan impressed the outsiders, he attempted to reconcile with Ding Bu, so he could convert the latter into a usable chess piece for his clan in the future.
Lu Fengxian glanced at his supposed-to-be-father. He slightly shook his head as he never saw Ding Yuan as a father, let alone a human.
He had read through Ding Bu's memory. There was impossible that Ding Yuan didn't know about Ding Tong's deeds as so many clansmen had been openly bullying and beating the original Ding Bu every time they saw him to please Ding Tong.
Had Ding Yuan been a good father, he could have refrained Ding Tong or punished the clansmen. Unfortunately, Ding Yuan always ignored Ding Bu's existence.
This group of hypocritical cultivators was not Lu Fengxian's family. They were merely brainless scums.
Lu Fengxian hated this type of cultivator the most. They had forgotten what a family was, and they were the source of corrupted organizations in the holy land and the higher realms.
'I have seen so many scums, but you are the worst kind, Ding Yuan. What kind of a father are you? Why are you treating your children as dirt shit? You ignored Ding Bu's pleas when he needed your help the most. But after I showed a bit of skill, you are now on my side? What was Ding Bu? Livestock? Because of a father like you, human cultivators in the higher realm grew up as scums! They can't even work together and stand united against the demon hordes! That's why we human cultivators always lost to demons in the god realms!'
Lu Fengxian's eyes burned with a passion. He planned to raise an elite group under him, so human cultivators from Heavenly Goose Planet could take back the god realms from the demon gods in the future.
…
Wang Yun brought Liu Bian to the stadium using his shadow teleportation. As soon as they appeared, Li Wenyou rushed toward them and announced their arrival.
"The honored guest of Imperial Clan, Venerable Wang Yun has arrived!"
While the crowd had been gossiping about Ding Yuan's action, a nascent soul cultivator and his granddaughter suddenly appeared in the stadium.
Everyone stopped talking and looked at the newcomers, ignoring Ding Bu and his suspicious father.
Using this opportunity, Li Wenyou revealed the seeded tournament participant.
"Venerable Wang Yun's granddaughter, Wang Diaochan, will be participating in this tournament!"
Hearing that a granddaughter of a mysterious nascent soul was joining this event, the crowd on the stands stood up. They were thrown into an uproar.
The young masters on the arena stage scanned through the maiden's body with interest. Currently, Liu Bian appeared as a black-haired twin-tailed loli with a cute face, small lips, and round eyes. His petite body and perky butt aroused all pedophiles in the arena. Liu Bian's determined glare was also strangely attractive, shaking the hearts of proud men.
The combination of a sexy pill and Liu Bian's shadow essence gave birth to a chaotic yin aura, which worked similarly as succubi's pheromone. All men who had sensed the aura were captivated by Liu Bian's presence, and their minds became weak.
Unknowingly, Liu Bian hypnotized most men in the arena. They fell in love with him at the first sight.
"Such a beauty!"
"She's so adorable!"
"I'm in love!"
"MARRY ME! I'LL DUMP MY WIFE, AND I'LL GIVE YOU ALL MY WEALTH!"
The crowd went nuts. Incomprehensible screams, shouts, and marriage proposals were so loud and chaotic that Liu Bian had to close his ears.
Li Wenyou and many elders were also in a daze as Liu Bian's unusual aura shook their hearts. Fortunately, they snapped back to their senses first.
"E-Excuse me. Could you control your aura? You're troubling everyone," Li Wenyou warned Liu Bian.
"…"
Liu Bian frowned and stopped circulating his Qi. He breathed normally like a human instead of trying to inhale stray Qi in the air.
After Liu Bian stopped using his Qi circulation technique, the crowd managed to calm down. Still, the damage had been done.
The first impression was everything. Now, many men had idolized him as their WAIFU.
Hua Bohai, Ding Tong, Jian Yi, and many young masters were love-struck. They were determined to make Liu Bian their mistress to the point that they planned to consult their parents to propose to him after the tournament.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Fengxian had experienced this type of phenomenon before. Liu Bian's aura reminded him of a certain succubus ancestor, who had destroyed five planes of human immortal by herself.
His face distorted in disgust.
'This girl reeks the same smell as Xu Chu. She's not a succubus, but her essence is too corrupted! I hope she won't join the succubus clan, or this world will be done for! Should I kill her when I have a chance, or should I correct her life path to stay away from shadow element?'
Lu Fengxian glared at Wang Yun. He blamed the old man for being the cause of Liu Bian's corrupted Qi.
'Rather, I should kill you first! Shadow element users are all untrustworthy! They often mistake evil arts as other forms of shadow element techniques, and they give birth to the heretic Twilight Essence! Shadow element users must not exist!'
Lu Fengxian obtained another goal in life other than getting stronger than Kishin Douji.
…
Unfortunately, Lu Fengxian didn't pay attention to a certain VIP room, where Xu Xiuying was in. She had been paying attention to Liu Bian, and she liked him.
"Limb Dick Ding Dong…"
Dong Zhongying kissed Xu Xiuying's feet, "Yes, my queen?"
"I want that girl. After the tournament, capture her and send her to my sect."
"B-B-But she comes with her nascent soul grandfather! I don't dare to-"
"Make it happen or I'll destroy Red Sun City!"
"I-I-I'll die if I provoke Wang Yun! Please have mercy!"
"THAT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS! IF YOU WANT TO LIVE, DO AS I SAID! IF YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO GO, COME TO MOUNTAIN GOOSE SECT AND SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO ME!!"
"Y-YES, MY QUEEN!!"
Xu Xiuying kicked Dong Zhongying's face and sent him out of the VIP box room.
Luo Cheng sighed and followed Dong Zhongying out with the four succubi. He needed to finalize the tournament schedule with the fat minister so that these girls could join the tournament.
…
While the coliseum was in an uproar, Jia Shan, Ma Ping, Ju Shoufen, Ku'er, Ma Moxi, and Miaomiao flew toward the stadium.
They arrived last as Miaomiao had instructed them, so they didn't have to go through all annoying associations of bootlickers and talkative villains. Unfortunately, the two nascent soul experts became the center of attention in the end.
As soon as Jia Shan and Ma Ping descended and appeared in front of the crowd, they stopped talking and cupped their fists in reflex. Everyone widened their bright eyes as if they had seen superheroes.
"THE SAVIORS ARE HERE!!"
"SIR!! PLEASE HELP US DEFEAT THE DEMONS!!"
"THE DEMONS ARE HERE!! PLEASE HELP US!!"
The stadium hadn't forgotten that Xu Xiuying was still around. Some of the clan lords even groveled and begged for their help.
Jia Shan and Ma Ping raised one of their eyebrows in bemusement for a second. Then, their spiritual sense picked up the life signature of a nascent soul succubus queen.
Xu Xiuying also dropped her jaw, looking at Jia Shan in shock as well.
Jia Shan was supposed to be crippled. How could he fly or use Qi!?
While Xu Xiuying was dumbfounded, Jia Shan was delighted to see her alone.
"I see," Jia Shan sneered as he had never expected that Xu Xiuying would have offered her head to him so early.
He hadn't forgotten what Wei Huang, Fu De, and Xu Xiuying had done to him.
Time for a little karma!
Without hesitation, Jia Shan activated his sword domain and brandished Miaomiao's soul sword. Then, he slashed the air, aiming to behead Xu Xiuying in one strike.
BOOM
The dimensional cut came short and missed Xu Xiuying's neck by a meter. The succubus queen also activated her miasma domain and pushed back Jia Shan's territory backward to get herself out of the sword saint's reach.
Before Jia Shan or Ma Ping could follow up with another strike, Xu Xiuying bellowed, "IF YOU WANT EVERYBODY HERE TO DIE, I DARE YOU TO ATTACK ME AGAIN!!"
Thousands of spectators and people in the city suddenly floated as if someone had lifted them up by choking their necks. They couldn't breathe.
The choke slowly tightened. Their necks were squeezed by the unknown force within their bodies!
Jia Shan and Ma Ping froze and looked around, grounding their teeth in resentment.
"Vile demon! Let them go!"
Xu Xiuying snorted, "If you want to fight, I'll kill everyone. I'll let them go if both of you swear by your dao oath that you won't attack me or my disciples."
"You think we'll do that and let you one-sidedly attack us!?"
"Then, everybody here dies!"
"…"
The hostage situation escalated.
