True Martial World - Chapter 104: You Are Out

Yi Yun quietly returned to his spot and stood with his hands behind his back. Everyone was focused on Yi Yun.

The people were still in discussion about what the purple cloud in the sky was.

Purple Air Comes From The East was something that high-ranking warriors in the vast wilderness had never heard of before, let alone the commoners of the vast wilderness.

No one had witnessed a scene like this before in the Cloud Wilderness. In fact, even in the kingdom's capital, very few people had ever witnessed Purple Air Comes From The East.

Among the people from the vast wilderness present, only the tribal elders of the Tao tribal clan had seen records of Purple Air Comes From The East in the history books.

But the ancient books in the vast wilderness only simply mentioned Purple Air Comes From The East without much detail. It was likely because the person who wrote the books had never seen Purple Air Comes From The East, and the person was just describing it from imagination.

So to recognize it from those records was another matter.

After all, the state of Purple Air Comes From The East was beyond them, and their preconceived expectations of Yi Yun subconsciously prevented many of them from thinking of that.

Only some of the heads of the Tao tribal clan such as the Grand Elder had some suspicions, but he did not dare make any confirmation. He carefully observed Zhang Tan's reaction and tried to gain some clues from him.

At that point in time, Zhang Tan had left temporarily. With Zhang Tan as head, a few Jin Long Wei members were compiling the scores of the Mortal Blood candidates.

The final results of the candidates were a consideration of age, the grade of the cultivation technique, their level, their strength and several factors. Only then was a final score given.

This score determined the final ranking and to decide on the receiver of first place in the Mortal Blood round. It would determine if a person could enter the Jin Long Wei elite camp, allowing them to enjoy the best cultivating resources of the Jin Long Wei.

The participants were nervously waiting as this score determined their fates. How could they stay calm?

However, Yi Yun stood very calmly while in the crowd.

Suddenly, Yi Yun felt a gaze filled with killing intent aimed at him, stabbing his back like a needle.

Yi Yun turned his head and saw Lian Chengyu's angry and venomous eyes as if he could not wait to skin Yi Yun alive.

This startled Yi Yun. In the past, Lian Chengyu had always wanted to kill him, and he knew this. However, he had never seen Lian Chengyu's hate reach such a level. Seeing his eyes, it was as if they wanted to drink Yi Yun's blood and eat Yi Yun's flesh.

What craziness was Lian Chengyu up to?

"Little bastard, did you do something to the Frost Python desolate bone!?" Lian Chengyu sent the voice suddenly into Yi Yun's ear.

Initially, Lian Chengyu had never thought that the problem with the desolate bone had anything to do with Yi Yun.

This was because Yi Yun had run away and jumped into the East River before the desolate bones were done refining. There were people monitoring the refinement process day and night. Besides, the desolate bone was in the large cauldron boiling in the Li Fire Water. That Li Fire Water had an extremely high temperature, so with it submerged, there was no way of taking it out.

But, with Yi Yun showing more and more of his extraordinary strength, Lian Chengyu suddenly realized there was something strange in the desolate bone refinement process.

Firstly, the Frost Python desolate bone should not have had problems. When he first received it, he could feel the bone-biting frost Qi when he got close. This chill was proof of the desolate bone's quality. And in the desolate bone's refinement process, there were many events recorded in the literature that had happened. Many of the able-bodied men who refined the bone had fallen sick. They had been injured by the chill.

It was a perfectly good Frost Python desolate bone, how could it not have any effects after refining?

Initially, Lian Chengyu lacked experience because it was his first time consuming a desolate bone essence. He believed that the refinement process had gone awry, or that there was something wrong with his own physique.

But upon careful thinking, it was not the case.

After consuming the desolate bone, not only did his strength not increase, his anger had burnt his heart, injuring his meridians. But Yi Yun had inexplicably grown stronger, maiming Zhao Tiezhu.

Besides, during this period, Yi Yun had previously refined the desolate bone. Was it possible that Yi Yun had used a special method to swap the Frost Python desolate bone with something similar to the Frost Python desolate bone?

The desolate bone essence he had eaten in the end was fake. The real desolate bone essence had already been eaten by Yi Yun!

Lian Chengyu did not know what method Yi Yun had used. But after thinking it over, this was the only reasonable explanation!

Yi Yun had backstabbed him and stole everything that belonged to him, robbing him of his hope and glory!

If it was not for Yi Yun, Lian Chengyu would have already broken through to the Purple Blood realm by today. He would have easily passed the Kingdom's selection, becoming a member of the Jin Long Wei, or even a Jin Long Wei elite!

The more Lian Chengyu thought the more he felt his deductions were right. He clenched both his fists as his fingernails pierced his flesh while his body trembled with anger!

Yi Yun, you destroyed my future, I will make sure you lead a living death!

Lian Chengyu gritted his teeth.

In his extreme anger, Lian Chengyu felt as though his heart was about to explode. The veins and meridian channels protruded from his forehead like worms. A mouthful of blood had accumulated in his chest, to the point of him almost spitting it out.

The chaotic channels and erratic heartbeat alarmed Lian Chengyu as he quickly circulated his energy and forced his mind to calm down. He needed to prevent a relapse of his old injury.

Facing the raging Lian Chengyu, Yi Yun's face was expressionless. He and Lian Chengyu had reached an irreconcilable point. Unfortunately, Lian Chengyu had never taken Yi Yun seriously before, missing his best chance.

"You are out." Yi Yun's mouth moved, conveying his words.

Lian Chengyu face contorted, "You really think with your so-called Spirit, and with the cultivation technique you gained insight on the white jade stage, you will be able to do anything to me? You have practiced martial arts for three months! In a real life-and-death battle, it is one's strength that matters, not potential!" Lian Chengyu hated Yi Yun to his bones. Every word of his was like a sword, stabbing at Yi Yun.

In Lian Chengyu's mind, even if Yi Yun had eaten the desolate bone essence that belonged to him, and even if Yi Yun had an unmatchable talent in martial arts, so what if he had absorbed all the energy in the desolate bone essence?

It had to be known that Lian Chengyu was already at the peak of the Qi Gatherer realm. Under this situation, with the aid of the desolate bone essence's energy, he could have broken through into the Purple Blood realm.

But before Yi Yun fell to his half-death while picking herbs, he had no contact with martial arts. Even if he could absorb the entire desolate bone essence's energy, he would at most reach the peak of the Meridians realm or the beginning stages of the Qi Gatherer realm.

Furthermore, Yi Yun was a beginner in martial arts who lacked actual combat experience. Yi Yun had no way of comparing with him.

But Lian Chengyu could not help but admit that Yi Yun's martial arts talent exceeded him. Be it Yi Yun's Spirit, or the phenomenon from demonstrating the Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist, they were a testimony to that fact.

So he had to take an opportunity to kill Yi Yun before he had the chance to grow!

If not, he would fall behind, and when that happened, he would definitely die.

True Martial World - Chapter 103: Old Man Su’s Guess

Although Purple Air Comes From The East was rare in the circle of warriors, but in the long annals of history books, there had been uncountable numbers of outstanding figures. Hence, there were records of Purple Air Comes From The East in the history books. But for Purple Clouds' Birth, it was an outright phenomenon.

Even going through the history books, it was hard to find a similar event. An event like a purple cloud covering the vast Cloud Wilderness had never happened before!

Originally, no one would associate the "Purple Clouds' Birth" with "Purple Air Comes From The East".

But Old Man Su somehow came up with the association.

Lin Xintong was shocked, "Master, how could it be possible. The Purple Clouds' Birth covered such a large area, how could it be Purple Air Comes From The East?"

"Purple Air Comes From The East is when a warrior's spiritual energy gains the recognition of the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. As for the Purple Clouds' Birth, even if the entire vast wilderness' Heaven Earth Yuan Qi has been activated, it would not have such a scale!"

Lin Xintong found it incredulous. Even a Great Emperor's breakthrough was not that exaggerated.

Old Man Su nodded and gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Haha, I was just saying what came to my mind."

Old Man Su did not mention this matter any further. However, Old Man Su was usually extremely accurate when he received some inspiration.

"Xintong, you left behind the 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist' manual inscribed with your notes for the kid. For him to gain such insight, his perceptivity sure isn't bad. With that, Xintong you are now that kid's master. Oh, since I'm your master, that kid is now my grand-disciple. Sigh, that kid has taken advantage of me again."

Old Man Su shook his head saying that. Lin Xintong nearly burst out in laughter hearing that. If others were to acknowledge a grandpa as a master, they would have been at a disadvantage; but when it came to her master, if anyone took him as a grandpa generation master, that person would have taken advantage of him.

"Xintong, you don't say. But I'm beginning to like him. Also, his influence on your Yin Meridians, have you understood anything?"

Lin Xintong shook her head. It was like running after a shadow and there was no way for her to make any confirmation.

That night when she returned, Lin Xintong had begun to circulate her 'Fairy Maiden Heart Sutra', but no matter how hard she tried, her meridians were dry, without any response.

This result was also expected...

But Su Jie was optimistic. He said, "Xintong, I will be meeting up with Marquis Wenyun in a few days time. Nothing has come up from investigating the Purple Clouds' Birth. But Marquis Wenyun has brought a state treasure, a treasure compass, to the Cloud Wilderness and it managed to find an ancient ruin. That mystic land is extremely dangerous so it's impossible for you to enter with your strength. Several of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's bigwigs, including Marquis Wenyun, have gathered together. But they have deliberated it for a very long time because they are afraid of entering it rashly. Marquis Wenyun has managed to obtain an incomplete formation map of the ancient ruins and he has invited me. I'm very interested in it and have decided to go. This ancient secret ground might have the heritage of an ancient Desolate Heaven Master. If I were to get some inspiration, I might be able to join up your terminated meridians."

With Su Jie saying this, Lin Xintong felt worried but touch, "Master, that ancient ruin..."

"Haha, don't worry. I will be fine. The main reason for me going is to crack the formation. Besides, when have I suffered while walking the vast wilderness all these years? When I was young, I could obtain the treasures amidst the dangers of mystic lands. I have resolved all kinds of dangerous situations. You don't know how many people scrambled to have me join them to enter mystic lands." Old Man Su said with pride. He was not bragging about this, and he had the ability to dissolve danger. He had returned with many treasures in the face of many dangers.

But as for many people scrambling to have Old Man Su to join them to enter mystic lands, it was quite the opposite.

When Su Jie was not that famous in his younger days, he had joined many expeditions to explore the mystic realms. They would later meet some unexpected danger causing the entire expedition to be wiped out except for Old Man Su.

There were even times when he even managed to get some benefits out of that. Of course, Su Jie would never admit to that.

Whenever he recalled those events to others, he would appear in grief and even pay tribute to those who had died. It was as if he had received a great deal of trauma in the perilous encounters in the mystic realms.

But in a turn of an eye, people would see him saunter into an underground workshop or auction house and sell the treasures that were of no use to him for things he needed. With a lewd smile, he would return fully loaded.

After this happened a few times, people gave Su Jie a nickname: "Runaway Su", and the infamy known as Runaway Su quickly spread. As such, few expeditions brought him along from then on.

Who would dare bring him along when they would end up turning into cannon fodder while he made a quick escape?

So there was reason to believe that Marquis Wenyun's invitation to Old Man Su was due to having encountered an extremely unsolvable problem in the mystic realm. It was only as a last resort that they had to get Su Jie to solve it.

...

At that moment, the crowd was confused or in wonder, or even in baffled as Yi Yun walked down the white jade stage.

"You're Yi Yun? Twelve years old?" At that moment, a voice rang in Yi Yun's ears. He raised his head and saw Zhang Tan looking at him.

Yi Yun slowed down his footsteps and nodded.

"What level are you at? Qi Gatherer realm?"

Yi Yun nodded again.

"The early stages of Qi Gatherer realm? Or at the peak of Qi Gatherer?"

"Peak." Yi Yun gently moved his lips. But even from afar, Zhang Tan could read it.

This kid does not know how to force his voice into a line.

That's interesting, as this was a small trick people in the Meridians realm would know. Did his master not teach him, or did he not have a decent master?

No, without a master, he would not have been able to master such a 'Dragon Rib Tiger Bone Fist'.

Many thoughts began to run through Zhang Tan's mind.

This Yi Yun sure is a freak!

It looks like when he broke through in the preliminaries, he had gone from the early stages of the Qi Gatherer realm to the peak of the Qi Gatherer realm!

Others were under great pressure and were struggling; yet, he had used the pressure to breakthrough.

And what made it rarer was that Yi Yun was just twelve!

At twelve with excellent perceptivity and a good cultivation level, he was an extremely good candidate.

"Do you know what the clouds you induced meant?" asked Zhang Tan.

Yi Yun had a thought in his head before he looked up the sky. In the sky, there was a stretch of purple. As it had been long, the lit clouds had slowly dispersed. It was extremely pretty, like dispersed purple feathers.

A purple sky...

While Yi Yun was cultivating, the surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi had surged into his body and after being processed by the Purple Crystal, it had escaped from his pores.

It seemed like this spirit energy had mixed with the surround Heaven Earth Yuan Qi to form the purple mist.

This purple mist might have something to do with the Purple Crystal Origins.

"It's alright if you don't know. Remember, guard against arrogance and rashness. In this world, there are many talents, and the world is too large. Just the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom has almost no boundaries and it cannot be measured. Do not think too highly of your current achievements. Working hard is the way!" Yi Yun easily accepted Zhang Tan's teachings. Actually, even without Zhang Tan's words, Yi Yun knew that he had not even reached the starting point of his martial path. His path ahead was still long.

With these thoughts, Yi Yun left the white jade stage and walked towards his spot. As a member of the Lian tribal clan, his spot was next to the Lian tribal clan.

Dual Sword God - Chapter 55: An Old Tale, Taking the Stage!

A long time ago, in a distant time.

It was during an era of a brutal conflict, between the Beastman Tribe and a Prominent War Saint Faction. However, this tale is not about their war, but the story of two men who fought to settle their scores...

It happened on the verge of twilight, at a place filled with the scent of roses. If one looked around, they would see an endless meadow of red roses stretching to vast horizon itself. A brilliant Crystal Palace stood here; it was a grand construct built with the most beautiful materials of exquisite design. However, this palace was silent, as there were no guards, and no maids, only a man who stood alone and aloof of the mundane world peacefully within his flower garden.

In front of this man was a coffin of gorgeous design, it was made of a pure type of crystal that sparkled with the color of the roses in the surroundings. If one looked carefully they would see that resting peacefully inside, was a woman who was beautiful beyond words could describe, she lay sleeping as if she would continue to sleep until the end of time.

As this man sat down, he gazed at the woman in the coffin with an infatuated look at the depths of his eyes.

Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!

Suddenly, the sound of hard footsteps could be heard as with each step taken the roses that were below the individual's feet would be crushed to nothing. This man slowly walked towards the seated man and upon reach a few a meters away he stopped his motion and stood silently in this field of roses.

Swoosh!

A gentle breeze blew which lifted some red petals that flow between the two individuals as the only the sound of their clothing could be heard making flapping noises with the rise its wind, giving a bit of motion in the quiet atmosphere.

"So... You've finally come." replied the seated figure as he continued to stare at the coffin.

"Where is she?..." replied the man who stood with one arrow in his left hand and humongous bow in the other, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"She rests peacefull..." said the man as he lifted his vision and started the man that stood behind him.

"Do you know why I have come?" asked the man that stood with the bow.

"Ha Ha Ha! How would it be hard to guess? What man is willing to live on this earth with that man that took his wife?" said the man with a look of derision in his eyes.

"Are ready to face your death?" said the man with bow indifferently.

"I am ready, but the question is are you ready to face the consequences?" he replied as a dark fiendish aura started to rose from his body.

"I remember telling you that day, that as long as I the Divine Arrow Exault exists. You and I will not live in this piece of earth, in this stretch of space. No matter how many years, how many eras, we will fight and one of us will die..." said the man as he lifted his bow and placed his arrow within its string soon his bolt started to glow in a divine light.

Puuiii!!!

Bang!!!

The terrifying energies of both beings erupted as the once beautiful field of roses became a wasteland, leaving behind only clusters of powers that spread across the endless horizon to no end.

"I am the Rose Fiend! And What I want, no one will take!..." replied the man who stood with the crystal corpse.

And so, they fought, they battled and raged war, decimating all in their path for years upon years until one day, they both faded. No one knew who won their battle, and no one knew where they went, as they both disappeared into the memories of time itself...

******

At the summit of the sky, within the Chosen Battle Arena.

Feng Yu, Hui Ying, Lang Kuang and Miren Fei looked at the battle in the arena with interested as Dai Lin was currently fighting against an opponent.

Bang!

The opponent would launch swift and fierce attacks towards Dai Lin who would easily avoid his attacks with a slight tilt of his body. Currently, the look on Dai Lin's face was similar to that of boredom.

"You've wasted my time long enough, time to leave!" said Dai Lin as he stretched out his finger and pushed it against the air, pointing towards the distressed opponent.

"Heavenly Shocking Circuit: Custom Style - Prison of Lightning!" shouted Dai Lin as multiple streaks of lightning shoot from his finger towards the shocked opponent snaking around his entire form creating an electric cage.

"Argh!! Let me out!" roared the chosen candidate as he attacked the prison. However, it was futile as lightning began to bombard his form burning his flesh turning him in charcoal.

"ARGH!!!!!" the opponent fainted due to the 'shock' falling into deep sleep.

Flash!

The Ancient Dragon soon after sent both forms out of the golden square.

"Blue Thunder Dai Lin is the best!!!" shouted a member of the local practitioners of Machen Town.

"Ha Ha! He's certain to get far for sure." said another individual.

The Major Influences looked on with a solemn expression as their geniuses began to felt even more pressure.

"This Blue Thunder Dai Lin is too powerful, even I don't know if I'll be able to best in direct combat," said Tang Wu Ji Weng as he looked at Dai Lin with battle intent.

Xin Qing looked at Dai Lin's figure with a strange light shining her eyes as she remained silent.

"I wonder who is next?" asked a chosen candidate as he looked around the battle platform.

Suddenly, the light shone once more, and two forms abruptly appeared on the arena. Seeing these two forms the practitioners and chosen candidates where stunned.

"Isn't that the useless Feng Clan troubler!" shouted a local practitioner.

"Em. Haha! This should be interesting, didn't he only got this far due to his willpower. What can he possibly do against true geniuses?" said another individual from the local practitioner's group,

"Ha Ha! Its finally Yu'er's turn!" said Feng Yunlong as looked at his son with pride as Feng Junling, Feng Xingyu and elders of the Feng Clan looked on silently.

"This is where I will see your real power," said Huan Mang as he looked at Feng Yu silently.

Xiang Tian looked at Feng Yu with a deep expression as he thought of the possibilities of Feng Yu hiding his real strength.

"Its about time, I was wondering what was taking so long for him to get on stage. Now I can see whether or not your truly as what Brother Zang expects you to be.." said Xia Rou as she looked at the opponent who Feng Yu will face on stage.

"DarkSky's Pavilion, Number 2 Prodigy!" exclaimed the elders from the Seven Blade Mercenaries and Blood Rose Union.

The Golden Dragon Empire and Southern Wasteland, Midnight Temple and Rain Sword Sect elder looked at the scene with interest on their faces.

"I didn't think they'd sent one their number 2 prodigy here to take part in this Mystic Realm Opening Trial. I guess they wanted to use this opportunity to have him seek for a way to compete against number 1" said the Rain Sword Sect elder.

Xun Yanshan looked at the scene and spoke softly "Now I can see what kind of genius this Feng Clan has been raising under the noses of these locals."

Xin Qing beside Tang Wu spoke, "Brother Tang! Here is our number one dark horse of the Chosen Wars."

Tang Wu looked in and nodded "Em."

"Finally, It's Younger Masters turn!" said Dai Lin as he looked on excited, with Lang Kuang and Miren Fei.

Hui Ying couldn't help but smile as thought to himself "I haven't seen him truly fight since the previous battle with the Golden Furred Ape King. I wonder, just how much more powerful have you gotten in this short time back home."

The Bamboo Hat Youth and Southern Wasteland Youth looked on with interested as Xiang Shu observed with a strange smile at the corners of his lips.

"Hmm... Feng Yu, why is it that I smell that scent.. the scent of death upon you..."

*****

The two figures within the arena stood calmly as they observed each other without words, soon the youth standing before Feng Yu was the first the speak.

He wore a dark cape, with strange tattoos over his hands that were visible from its sleeves, with piercings in his nose, mouth, and ears. He had short black hair with shadows under his eyes and pale skin seeming to be unrested and malnourished.

"I am DarkSky Pavilion's, Sheng Bing! I do not fight the nameless, and I fight to kill. What is your name?" said youth with the dark cape.

"Hmm, you fight to kill you say? If such is the case then I will not speak my name as the dead does not need to remember it," replied Feng Yu with a calm expression.

"What? Do you know who you're dealing with?" as Sheng Bing said this a towering dark essence energy erupted from his body, the power of peak 9 Tier expert exploded causing the air surrounding the golden square to become unstable.

Quickly, he got into a battle posture by stretching his one of his arms outwards with one foot lifted in the air and the other foot standing firmly on the ground. He placed his other hand close to his side and clenched his palms into a fist that had dark essence energy flowing above it. He then looked towards Feng Yu with a fierce light and spoke.

"Draw your swords! It is time to battle, may your end be a swift one..." he said in a serious manner.

Feng Yu hearing this smiled as if influenced by Dai Lin he adopted the behavioral pattern by raising his right finger and waving "You want me to draw my sword, fine, but you'll first have to beat me using my fists." said Feng Yu in a confident manner.

The Chosen Candidates and Major Influences listening to his words were stunned as a commotion soon after followed.

Sheng Bing looked at Feng Yu with shock, however after a short moment his face turned in a smile, it was a dark look as if he was nothing more but a slaughter.

"Good! Good! I'm going to let you understand why it is we are called, the DarkSky Pavilion..." as he said this a strange dark light shone in his eyes as his essence-energies shrouded his form soon wrapping the entire golden square into darkness.

Feng Yu seeing this smiled as he slowly positioned himself into the mantis stance while looking at Sheng Bing with confident eyes.

As a man seated beside a scholarly looking man saw this, he spoke with disdain.

"This little brat is insane, does he know who he is dealing with?" said the man.

"It does not matter for he has those eyes.." said the scholarly man.

"What kind of eyes?" replied the man.

"The eyes of a man who see's the world beyond himself..." said the scholar silently as his words faded with the wind, and tension on the battle arena rose to new degrees...

Dual Sword God - Chapter 54: Dark Clouds Looming Over, I Hate Roses!

The sky was gloomy, as a strange atmosphere filled Machen Town. Dark clouds loomed over Machen Town, as the snow started to fall once again, but this time the snow that fell gave off a faint chilly aura. Most of the citizens and wanderers who had not gone to attend the Talent Selection where out about partaking in various activities, as the festive mood caused by the Talent Selection was still in effect.

In a local pub in a district, that was close to the Central Square. A gathering of individuals sat and discussed amongst themselves in merry.

At one lively section sat four individuals around at table or rather two who were seated on chairs, while the remaining two sat on the laps of another individual.

"Who do you think is going to come out on top in this Talent Selection?" said a local who did not know about the chosen wars.

A handsome looking man who sat beside responded as he played with two beautiful girls who sat on his laps. "Eh? I don't know! Hiccup! Maybe that Xiang Guy, or that Prince Guy. I don't pay much attention to these kinds of things... you know! Hiccup!" he said as he burped seeming to be drunk.

"Why do I even bother to discuss these kinds of things with a drunkard like yourself" replied the man as he ate his food.

The handsome drunkard smiled as he spoke "Don't mind! Don't mind! Heeyyy! Why not have some fun with one of my chicks! Go on now play with my new friend!" he said with a wink to the sexy curvaceous girl with purple hair who sat on his left leg.

"He He! As the handsome master wishes!" the woman replied by kissing the handsome drunkard on his cheeks before walking over to the other man and wrapping arms around his neck.

"Does mister want to go an play?~" she said as she pressed her well-endowed chest on his back while seductively licking his earlobes.

"Eh? I.. I..." the man who didn't expect this kind of intimate treatment mumbled in shock as his heart started to race, then looked towards the handsome drunkard and spoke.

"Brother... is.. is this ok!" said the man as he stuttered while talking.

"Haha! Hiccup! A man has got to know when to let loose, even though its still daytime its 'Darkout.' Why not have some fun to pass the time?" said the handsome drunkard as he gave a meaningful look at the man.

"Good! Brother, I'll make sure to treat you next time," he said as got up and went to one of the private rooms available for guests with his arms wrapped around the waist of the curvaceous woman.

As their figures disappeared, the handsome drunkard looked towards their location with a smile on his face as he continued to play with the remaining girl on his lap.

*****

Inside of the private room, two forms could be seen wrapped tightly together as excited moans resounded throughout the silent room. The bed they were on danced as their vibrant movements continued to shake up the stillness of the room.

"You... You are amazing..." said the man as he looked at the woman who straddled his body, however, a strange light could be seen in the depths of this woman's eyes, as the corners of her lips rose into a devious curve.

"You've had your fun... Now it's my turn, Mister~" she said in a sweet and seductive tone while moving her head towards his neck, as the man was about to reply, he suddenly felt something strange.

"Beauty you can do any... Eh? What's going on? Argh!!!!!!...." before he could finish his statement he screamed as the female bit onto his neck harshly while sucking.

Slurp!

"What are you?.... Argghh!!!!!!!" as he tried to resist he realized that he couldn't move any parts of his body. Soon, his skin started to grow pale as a green light shade that looked similar to the man flowed from within his body towards the mouth of the female and quickly swallowed.

Gulp.

With the sound of her swallowing the man finally ceased movement, his body was cold as no sign of life could be felt from it. The woman seated on top of his body frowned as she spoke in a dissatisfied manner.

"Chet! How distasteful! Eating these lower class souls really leave a bad taste in my mouth no matter how many times I do it." she said as he wiped her mouth and got down from the body of the dead man.

"Jie Jie Jie! You looked like you were having fun just now. Why complain now about his bad taste?" said a creepy voice as the drunkard materialized into the room, beside him was the other gorgeous woman that was previously seated on his leg.

The two of them wore a dark smile as they look at the corpse of the man on the bed, and mocked the sexy curvaceous woman.

"Hmph! I would have enjoyed it more if he had a decent cultivation base, why did you let me devour a useless guy like him?" she said while pouting.

"Jie! Jie! That's because..." said the handsome man as he smiled while taking out a bottle from his sleeves and putting his finger on top of its cover.

Pop! Swoosh!

As soon as the cover came off the bottle a shadow swiftly came out an quickly plunged towards the corpse, after a short moment a bit of color came on the once lifeless looking body.

"Only weaklings make the best vessels..." said the man as a strange green light shone in his eyes.

The two females eyes also glowed similarly, as the curvaceous woman was about to reply a strange aura could be felt coming from the dark clouds as it spread across the entire Machen Town.

Quickly, a scene that was invisible to the naked eye appeared as an unidentifiable light started to rise from multiple areas scattered across the town numbering into the thousands.

Puuii!!!

The corpse behind them trio in the room suddenly started to glow with that strange light which shot to the air amongst the rest.

"Oh? It seems leader is about ready to make his move... Jie Jie Jie! I wonder what kind of wild scenery we will be blessed with this time. After all, it's been way... too... long...." said the man as he voiced started to grow soft like the wind itself giving off a dark and cloudy vibe.

The trio looked towards the sky in excitement, as if their gazes could pierce the now ominous dark clouds falling on the grand battle arena that floated above the void.

******

The battles ragged on as the chosen candidate continued there struggles for the position of Pseudo Chosen, the victors held their heads up high with excitement as they received their opponent's tokens, and the losers grew silent as they were sent to the platform of the vanquished.

Currently, almost all of the talents from top class influences have already taken part in a battle, and they crushed all oppositions in an extremely dominating fashion.

The Mysterious Spear Youth's group defeat each of their opponents in less than five breaths time for each of their respected matches not even utilizing a fraction of their true power.

As the Southern Wasteland Youth, Mysterious Bamboo Hat Youth, as well as Xiang Shu had already completed their battles.

Feng Yu and Dai Lin looked at the figure of Hui Ying who was currently batting on stage with a bit of excitement.

"Young Master! Brother Hui Ying's Bow Techniques are sharp and precise do you think you could beat him if he had the time to prepare an ambush?" asked Dai Lin.

"Hmm, it depends, if I don't use my battle form I would at most be capable of fighting him on par. However, that is only in the situation of me utilizing one sword," said Feng Yu in a confident manner.

"Young Master has a battleform?" asked Miren Fei who's eyes glowed with curiosity, Lang Kuang also looked on in shock.

Dai Lin smiled and replied Mysteriously. "Indeed, but even I have only ever seen it once, and that was when I wanted to test my full power against Young Master's true might."

"But how could the Young Master have a battle form isn't that something that could only be used..." as Lang Kuang asked in puzzlement Dai Lin responded by finishing his statement.

"By a Bloodline Practitioner or individual with a Special Body Physique is what you want to say right? Ha Ha! Today I'll tell your both a little secret.." as Dai Lin said this he sent two voice transmission messages to both Lang Kuang and Miren Fei.

Instantly their eyes widen in shock, as a look of awe came over Lang Kuang's face followed by Miren Fei who's heart started to beat faster as a colorful light shone in her eyes.

Feng Yu looked back at Dai Lin and frowned, however upon seeing their expressions he did not complain. As he was about to move his vision back to the battle, he couldn't help but notice the look on Miren Fei's face, quickly, his heart couldn't help but grow slightly unstable.

Tump. Tump.

In a moment it was as if he wandered off into the memory of her fight on stage recalling her alluring charm that brought him into a daze. However, the form of the blond-haired goddess once again floated into his mind creating a strange confusion deep within his soul.

After a moment, he managed pulled his state of mind away from that scene and focused his gaze back on the platform while murmuring to himself.

"Old Master did not teach me how to handle this sort of thing... I should wait until I truly understand it myself." as he said this a chuckle could be heard somewhere deep within his mind however after a moment, it vanished.

The scene on stage was a spectacular one, as a young girl dressed in red dancing around the square leaving multiple remnant shades with every movement of her feet. As she narrowly dodged arrows that tore upon her clothes revealing bits of her flesh with each bolt.

She had a blood red rose in her hair acting as a sort of clip that held her hair together in a bun as long tail trail all the way behind her head swaying about with each movement of her body.

She brandished a long red whip that looked like a thorn in her slender hands and gracefully attacked the robust and lax looking youth who stood with a bow in his hands at the center of the golden square. Beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks falling on her slim neck into the cleavage of her battle dress as she waved her whip with all her might creating an illusive scene of multiple thorny rose whips that struck towards the form calmly standing at the center of the stage.

Wap! Wap! Wap! Wap!

However, for every strike struck at the youth he would only slightly tilt his body efficiently avoiding the attack of each thorny whip strike which ended up colliding with the ground, as he lifted his bow and fired normal but precise arrows towards distress female.

"Why... Why can't I hit him?" she said with a look of grievance on her face as she narrowly dodged an arrow that went across her red martial dress ripping a new hole its surface. The female couldn't help but grow angry as she saw the newly exposed flesh being shown to the audience.

The audience observing or rather the males from the crowd couldn't help but feel pity for the pretty female.

"Sigh... Who would have thought that the glorious female disciple Luo Sha of the Bloody Rose Union would be toyed with in such a manner?" said a youth from a significant influence as he observed the scene.

The Bloody Rose Union female elder sighed as she saw her disciple's distress. "Little Sha, has finally reached her limit."

"Beautiful woman as you can see I do not like to harm beautiful 'flowers,' however, a rose is a different story? Why not throw in the towel? Know when to yield and withdraw!" said Hui Ying as he smiled while playing with the bow in his arms.

"Never!!!" roared Luo Sha as she whirled her whip in the air once more preparing to unleash her attack once again.

"Sigh... I guess I'll have to get a little rough, beauty, don't blame me now!" said Hui Ying as he re-positioned himself in a serious posture and pulled his bow.

"Bloody Rose Style: Thorn Dance!!!!!" she roared and waved her hand as the thorn whip in her hands moved like a snake. Quickly, it transformed into multiple shades of thorns that launched themselves towards Hui Ying's form once more.

"HuiMan Bow Arts: First Bolt Dazzling Arrow!.." as Hui Ying said this a blinding bright arrow shot forth instantly arriving in the front of Luo Sha and exploded creating a flash-bang effect.

"My Eyes!!!" Luo Sha screamed as she closed her eyes holding them with her hands as they were in a state of burning pain.

Sou!

Not wasting any time Hui Ying instantly vanished arriving directly behind her form, using the corner of his palm to the hit her at the side of her neck. Quickly, she lost all signs of thought as she fell into an unconscious state falling towards the ground.

The whip technique was canceled as the whip wrapped itself around her arms on its own accord.

"Sleep now beauty..." whispered Hui Ying as he held the unconscious Luo Sha and placed her to rest on the ground gently, the rose that was within her hair fell to the ground.

Swish!

Hui Ying waved his hand and caught the rose a strange light shone in his eyes as he looked at the red rose.

Flash!

A flash of light soon followed from the Ancient Dragon returning Hui Ying to Feng Yu's side and the defeated Luo Sha to the platform of the vanquished.

The top class talents looked towards Hui Ying in shock as a solemn look came over the eyes of many.

"This guy, who the hell is he?" said Xuan Bei as he looked at Hui Ying's display of strength in fear.

"That girl Luo Sha from the Bloody Rose Union was no inferior to likes of Xuan Bei, Brother Tang. It seems that this man will be one of our greatest opponents," said Xin Qing as she looked at Hui Ying with a solemn gaze.

"Em. If my guess is correct, then this character should be if not the same level probably even stronger than Blue Thunder Dai Lin. However, the question that puzzles me the most is the strength of that guy from the Feng Clan." said Tang Wu as he looked at Feng Yu with a deep gaze.

Xin Qing looked on silently with a sharp look in her eyes the shadows below her feet danced about with her mood.

The Mysterious Spear Youth, The Brawny Youth, Xia Rou, Xiang Shu, the Southern Wasteland Youth, and the Bamboo Hat Youth looked at Hui Ying with a deep gaze.

"Junling, what do you think about Yu'er's benefactor?" asked Feng Yunlong while looking on Hui Ying.

"He reminds me of an incident back in the year of Beast Monarch's rampage..." said Feng Junling.

"Something from that long... What could that be?" said Feng Yunlong with shock.

Feng Junling looked at Hui Ying's form and soon a figure superimposed with his form. A powerful-looking man who emitted an energy that seemed as if it could pierce all things. He shouldered a gigantic bow on his back and carried only one arrow.

"The man that raided the Palace of the Rose Fiend..." as Feng Junling said this, his voice trailed off into the wind, as the voice of the man in the image spoke softly. Syncing with the words that Hui Ying spoke as he looked at the red rose he picked up from Luo Sha with a deep look on his face.

"I hate roses..."

Dual Sword God - Chapter 53: Wild Wolf Lang Kuang Vs Seven Blade Ni Wen

A few straggling clouds floated around an arena that stood proudly at the limits of the sky, if one looked carefully, they would see a few strange looking clouds that were a bit dark in color. They started to float towards the battle arena resting themselves silently at an area that stood above a large head of an Ancient Dragon.

"Hmm... dark clouds at such an altitude, how strange?" said Feng Xinyu as she looked at the sky with a bit of puzzlement.

As she continued to observe this particular scene, the third battle of the Chosen Wars was about to begin.

"This will be an interesting battle..." said a member from the audience of rogue practitioners.

"Yeah, I think so too. That guy with the silver-white hair is called 'Wild Wolf' I've been a fan of his for some time now." said another rogue practitioner.

On the side of the influences parties, the scholar man once again looked at the scene before him and spoke. "So another one of Dawnwing's members has appeared so quickly..."

"Em. I heard this one is quite powerful as they say that even in the local towns battle arena, he did not display his strongest strength against any adversaries. That is until he encountered Blue Thunder Dai Lin." said the man standing by the scholarly man's side.

"Oh! Well then, It seems we're about to find out if he's as good as the rumors say. The brat from the Seven Blade Mercenaries is no second-rate talent." replied the scholar man with a bright gleam as he looked at the opposing youth on the golden square.

A man from the Seven Blade Mercenaries looked at the scene with pride in his eyes, as he spoke to himself. "While this is not the True Dragon Talent Meet, it will serve as the precursor to Wen'er will show the world his true potential. My disciple will no lose to any of the Zang, Xia, and Ye Clan's chosen..." while he said this he couldn't help but look at the Mysterious Spear Youth, Xian Ruo and Brawny Youth that stood indifferently in the corner.

Hui Ying looked at the scene and spoke "I believe this guy goes by the title Ni Wen of the Seven Blades, he uses an odd martial style that allows one to use their entire body to control seven knives while fighting. A very rare technique said to have been created by a legendary figure belong to their group many years ago."

Feng Yu hearing this felt interested he pondered. "Interesting, It seems there are quite a few unique styles in this world. I wonder if it is similar to how I utilize my two swords..."

The winded kicked up, and the scene shifted to the center of the battle arenas golden square.

Lang Kuang stood in battle position as a harsh light shone in his eyes while looking at the Youth that stood a few meters away from him. This youth had a bald head with a large strand of braided hair flowing from its center towards his back like a ponytail, with narrow eyes, and a slim face. He wore no upper clothing revealing a well toned and muscular body with a few scars on its surface with spacious trousers and sash around his waist.

On his back were seven large knives, each giving off a sharp baleful light. He stood proudly in the golden square as he looked at Lang Kuang standing before him and spoke.

"Wild Wolf, I've recently heard of your small fame. You seem to hold a type of Special Phsqiue which is quite rare in our True Yuan Continent very much so like those secluded bloodlines and ancient war clans, but, I will prove to you why a rogue will never be a match for true a Talent." Ni Wen said confidently as he assumed an odd combat stance, almost like a dancer preparing for ballet.

Bang!!

The power of 8 Tier Body Training Realm erupted from Lang Kuang's body as he gripped his fists firmly while leaning his body forward placing both his fists on the ground assuming running posture. He then lifted his head and looked at Ni Wen.

"You talk too much! Arcane Wolf Style: Assaulting Wolf Dash!!!!" he roared as he his figure vanished kicking up strong winds as he dashed towards Ni Wen on all fours.

"Awoouuu!!!!!!" the sound of a wolf echoed throughout the area as his figure soon became superimposed with that of a wolf from the wildlands, quickly his form shortened the distance of a few meters as his head was ready to collide with Ni Wen's body.

The eyes of Ni Wen glistened as they shone a with a sharp light no inferior to his blades, quickly he fluidly twirled his body while moving his feet as if performing a waltz he avoided Lang Kuang's charging assault.

As he stood behind Lang Kuang, he twirled his body once more unsheathing one of the knives from its holster on his back. Quickly he slashed it towards Lang Kuang using the momentum from twisting dance.

Swing!

"Seven Blade Dance: First Blade!" he shouted as the blade was soon about to hit Lang Kuang's unguarded back.

"Chet! How troublesome you are!... " sensing the danger coming from behind him Lang Kuang complained as he ducked his body to the ground and pivoted to the side.

Swish!

The attack of the knife missed Lang Kang's back by a hairs length, seeing this scene Ni Wen lifted his brow in surprise.

"You're quite flexible for someone with such a big physique! It seems that I won't be able to win with one knife!" said Ni Wen as he quickly reassumed his dance posture but this time he unsheathed his second knife now holding one separately in each of his arms.

Bang!

The power of 9 Tier Body Training Realm erupted from Ni Wen as he collected his essence-energies for his next attack.

As Lang Kuang recovered his wolf stance he couldn't help but frown when he felt the danger coming from Ni Wen with two knives, he gripped both his fists together and howled towards the sky.

"It seems that I'll have to let you understand why it is I'm called the Wild Wolf!! Wolf Transformation!!!!" he roared as his body began to change with his muscled growing thicker as furry white-silver hair appeared on his skin.

Bang!!!

A powerful silver white essence energy shot forth from his body which was no inferior to that of essence being unleashed by Ni Wen, after a short while Lang Kuang looked brutally at Ni Wen with his eyes dyed with a shade of light red.

Ni Wen seeing this couldn't help but feel his blood boil with slight excitement.

"Such incredible power! Truly the might of a Special Physique. Come! Let me experience your true strength!" said Ni Wen as he rushed forwards once more towards Lang Kuang's form in a strange manner appearing as if he was in a waltz.

Step! Step! Step!

However, Lang Kaung was ready as he had been gathering power for a while, he leaped from the ground into the air and then dived towards Ni Weng looking like a Great Silver White Wolf assaulting its prey.

Whoosh!

"Arcane Wolf Style: Explosive Wolf Fist!!!!!" roared Lang Kuang as the silver-white essence-energies formed an ethereal wolf shade above his fist, it howled and launched itself towards Ni Wen with an unstoppable force.

"Awwoouuuu!!!!.."

"Seven Blade Dance: Second Blade! " Ni Wen shouted as his form soon appeared in front of Lang Kuang's Wolf Shafe, he spun his body like a top as his two knives cut into the attack.

KABOOM!!!

The wolf shade exploded creating an area of silver white which lasted for a few moments before fading away.

Sou!

The form of Ni Wen quickly appeared a few tens of meters away from the figure of Lang Kuang who stood toweringly like a mightly wolf at the center of the golden square. If one were to look carefully, they would see a bit of blood dripping from the right hand of Ni Wen.

"Good! I was too arrogant previously I will now show you my true strength! Let's see how you handle my final technique!!!!" Ni Wen roared as he spun his body once more revealing all of his knives, they were placed in unusual position on his body, one in his mouth, two between his toes and the final four of the blades were juggled with both of his hands.

As the audience saw this scene, they became filled excited as most of them didn't expect a rogue to be capable of matching the famous Seven Blade Ni Wen.

"This Wild Wolf character is astounding his Special Physique is capable of not only increasing his battle power but also capable of improving his natural senses," said Xun Yanshan as he observed the scene.

"To be able to push Wen'er to this state he is truly something..." murmured the man from the Seven Blade Mercenaries.

"If he were in the same realm as Zang Child, he might have had a shot of allowing Zang to display a portion of his true power what a pity, he's still just a seedling," he muttered.

Feng Yu, Dai Lin, Hui Ying and Miren Fei looked on silently as they observed the battle before their eyes.

Sou!

In an instant, Ni Wen's form vanished leaving only behind the sounds of footsteps tapping, as this sound echoed, the sound of slashing knives resounded throughout the arena.

Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing! Swing!

"Seven Blade Dance: Seven Sword!..." the voice of Ni Wen Echoed throughout the arena.

A feeling of death some came over Lang Kuang, realizing he couldn't escape he could only close his eyes and he slowed his breathing relying upon the heightened wolf senses of his battle form to find his opponents attacks. Quickly he started to shift his body, as streaks of sharp light sliced across his previous locations leaving sharp white lines on the ground of golden square.

Puff! Puff!

However, some of the sharp lights couldn't be avoided as a few bloody lines appeared on Lang Kuang's chest, causing his blood to flow down his body dripping onto the golden floor.

Pat. Pat.

The figure of Ni Wen soon appeared as if light itself shrouded his form, he kept fluctuating in and out of the light, as he looked at Lang Kuang he revealed a mocking smile before vanishing once more, but only this time no sound of his movements could be heard.

"Ah! The killing style of the Seven Blade Mercenaries truly unique, using their strange Blade Technique to bend the light around their forms creating the illusion of invisibility." said a major character.

"Not bad..." said the Mysterious Spear Youth as he looked at Ni Wen with a slight look of interest, Xia Rou smiled as she spoke. "Brother Zang! Don't overpraise him he's no were comparable that brother of his. A pity he went on a seclusion journey to prepare for the True Dragon Talent Meet..." as she said this she couldn't help but frown.

"I want to go home, why did father bother letting me come to this place? So what if there is a mystic realm? Don't we have a few of those associated with our families? All this time wasted is gonna slow our cultivation down!" Xia Rou said frustratedly.

"..." the brawny youth remained silent, but it could be seen he shared the same opinion.

"Everything has its purpose, as the imperial diviner said, 'Fortune lays in the East.' It's up to us to seek out these new fortunes. Who knows? We may be able to strive a good step further placing yourself ahead of our competitors such as the secret Fu Clan for instance." said the Mysterious Spear Youth with a smile on his face.

"Hmph! The reason you can say this is because you've already----" as Xia Rou was going to complain once more, the spear youth stopped her from continuing.

"Say no more, the fight is ending..." he said as he looked at the battle scene before them.

As Lang Kuang's body was continually experiencing wounds caused by the strange killing style of Ni Wen, he soon reached a point where he stopped avoiding the attacks altogether. Remaining still waiting patiently for his opponents next attack.

As Ni Wen saw this he felt that Lang Kaung was at the end of his ropes, he quickly rushed forwards stealthy within the field of light that bent with each swirl of his knives juggled in the air at an unusual position.

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Quickly he appeared behind Lang Kuang as he stabbed two of knives towards his back.

"It's over!!!!" he shouted in his mind as a smile came over his face, but soon a look a shock came on his face.

Lang Kang who had stood still as if he had given up all hope suddenly turned around and opened his eyes looking at his face.

"How can you----" before he could finish his statement there was a change, the figure of Lang Kuang soon faded as if it was nothing more than a remnant shade.

Soon, his voice could be heard coming from the side of Ni Wen.

"A wild wolf doesn't only rely on its ears an eyes. Its sense of smell is also one of its major gifts. You did well, now its time for you to sleep.." as Lang Kuang said this his Fists were placed in the form a wolfs claws.

"Arcance Wolf Style: Fang of the White Wolf!..." he roared as the fang of a wolf shade appeared over his hand, and he slashed his hand towards Ni Wen side.

Swish!

"No!..." Ni Wen shouted as he twirled his body once more to try and avoid the attack, but it was too late.

"Argh!!!!" Ni Wen screamed in pain as he smashed into the ground violently shortly after losing his consciousness.

Bang!!! Crash!!!

As Lang Kang saw his attack was successful, he stomped his foot onto his back asserting dominance over the defeated.

"I Wild Wolf am the victor!!!!" he said as he raised his hand to the sky.

"WildWolf! Go!!!" said a fan from the Machen Town battle arena.

As wild wolfs fan's, and rogue practitioners were in discussing in excitement, a few of the core talents were caught by surprise.

Xuan Bei and Ji Weng looked at Lang Kuang shock.

"How could this rogue be so strong? He really defeated Seven Blade Ni Wen..." said Xuan Bei.

"Dawnwing... Dawnwing... " the scholarly man muttered as if trying to brand the name in his mind.

Tang Wu and Xin Qing had a surprised look in their eyes, as other talents observed with various expressions.

"Brother Yu, It seems that Lang Kuang's is destined to go far.," said Hui Ying with a smile.

Feng Yu nodded as he responded "Em. I'm eager to see just how much stronger he will grow in the future..."

"Chet! That brute only beat his opponent by the skin of his teeth!" Miren Fei said as she looked at Lang Kuang's dominating posture with disdain.

Dai Lin laughed "Let him bask in his glory, he's earned it..."

As the commotion continued, a flash of light came over the forms of the competitors, and Lang Kuang was returned to the side of Feng Yu and the others. The battles continued as more and more chosen candidates were selected and paired up against each other.

However, as the events continued within the battlefield, changes were occurring in Machen Town unnoticed to all.

Limitless - Chapter 56: Don’t fight, I’ll take the rap!

The middle aged man and the gorgeous girl, together with their group, all escaped the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave in an embarrassing manner. They had an aura of lethargy and unwillingness as they appeared outside the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave.

Over there, Qin Ming and Zhang Shuang’s group, who had already exited earlier, were nowhere to be found. They had never even thought about staying around to ambush Chu Yu, they were scared cold by Chu Yu’s powerful battle ability.

As for the result of the attack, it was completely unimaginable!

Any ancient land with an enchantment, upon attack, was likely to change in an unpredictable manner.

Such changes, were mostly targeted at the attacker.

Based on their current ability, not only could they not break the enchantment, they would be afflicted with a curse.

Others had tried this before, and the result... was unparalleled suffering.

When the group got to the outside, their first order of business was to wake Liu Xu up.

This unfortunate youthful Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artist slowly regained his consciousness, but his eyes were blank.

Half of his face was swollen, the facial bones being shattered by the slap from Chu Yu.

Half of his teeth were knocked out, in his coma, he had swallowed them together with his blood.

This was the classic, "knocking out all your teeth and letting you swallow them in your own blood"...

Liu Xu seemed not to feel any pain at this time and he looked blankly at everyone, "Why... what happened?"

His gaze swept over the gorgeous girl, "Xiao Qing... I remember, I think you asked me to stop just now? What, what happened to me?"

Half of Liu Xu’s teeth were missing and air was sipping out when he spoke.

The others could barely understand what he was saying, they could not help but look at each other dismally, not knowing what to say.

At this point, Liu Xu’s awareness had just recovered slightly, and he consciously used his tongue to lick the side of the gums without teeth and screamed in pain.

"Ah... my, my teeth, where are my teeth?"

At this moment, his memory came rushing back like the tide, and Liu Xu suddenly remembered

He bellowed, "Song b*stard, I will never let you off!"

Afterwhich, he raised his hand to touch his swollen face. Even though it had been treated by the others, the sensation when he touched it... as well as the intense pain that came with it, caused him to crumble instantly.

A gush of blood rushed out from his throat and spewed out.

His chest heaved and tears streamed from his eyes.

As a disciple of an ancient school, as well as a talented individual born after the world had recovered, he had grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth.

Everyone revolved their lives around him, and pampered him thoroughly.

Even though there were times when the seniors or elders would defeat him in friendly matches, they did not take it too far.

In so many years, he had not been injured a single time, not to mention his self-proclaimed handsome face...

He could not accept such an outcome!

Liu Xu, calm down, you’re lucky... to be alive!"

The gorgeous girl looked at Liu Xu and said, remnants of fear still present in her eyes.

Her name was Fang Qing, and she came from an ancient clan, and could be considered one of the Heaven’s Pride ladies.

Even though she had been enraged by Lord Thief, she had calmed down by now.

Liu Xu was still moaning in pain. At this point the middle aged man looked in Fang Qing’s direction and asked solemnly, " Fang Qing, what exactly happened just now? Why did you ask Liu Xu to stop?"

The others looked at Fang Qing, clearly confused.

Fang Qing sighed and said bitterly, "All you geniuses, don't you see that there was a headless body not far behind the Song fella?"

"Ah? Dead body?"

"A headless body?"

"We were all focused on that cursed bird... we didn't notice!"

The others had an expression of confusion on their face.

The middle aged man frowned, "I did feel a scent of blood in the air, could it be..."

Fang Qing asked bitterly, "Do you all know who that is?"

Even Liu Xu, who was moaning on the ground shut up and opened up one eye to look at Fang Qing.

Fang Qing replied, "That man... is the Truth Ancient Sect’s heir... Qiu Tianxue!"

When she finished, the entire group fell silent!

All of them were stunned, and it slowly morphed into awe, before finally turning into fear.

"Qiu... Qiu Tianxue?"

"The heir to the Qiuzhen clan, Qiu Tianxue, is dead?"

"How could this be?"

"I heard that Qiu Tianxue’s ability was well within Invigorated Meridian Stage Seven... how, how could he be dead?"

"That Song fella... is that strong?"

All of their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Fang Qing continued, "I do know Qiu Tianxue personally. Initially, I didn't notice his body either. His body was behind a small mound of sand, but his head had rolled to the side, and I recognized him instantly! That's why I cautioned Liu Xu..."

Hiss!

All of the people could not help but gasp.

At this point, the middle aged man said solemnly, "Qiu Tianxue’s death... is earth shaking news! But I feel that Qiu Tianxue... might not have been killed by that Song fella."

All of them looked at the middle aged man, confused.

The middle aged man looked at them and said, "In your opinion... what cultivation level do you think Fan Jian of the Thief Sect is?"

One of them scoffed, "Him? That little fatty? What level can he be? All he does is steal from others, he's no different from that damned bird. He roams the land and bullsh*ts others that he is an Acupoint Charging Stage Eight martial artist, but in actual fact, he is only about Invigorated Meridian Stage one or two."

Another one added, "Exactly, all he does is use despicable methods to take advantage of the weak by being a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is a complete pig, not worth a mention."

The middle aged man shook his head, "Wrong, his cultivation level, is at least Invigorated Meridian Stage Six!"

All of them were shocked, thinking that it was impossible.

"Don’t forget, the Thief Sect is also an ancient legacy. Even though they are not well known to many, one cannot underestimate their power. They possibly have more teachings and secret treasures than many other ancient sects!"

The middle aged man looked at the others and sighed, "Regardless, we have been taken advantage of. We probably can’t do anything about that Song fella or Fan Jian, but that damned bird... is from the underworld Chu Clan..."

"Exactly, let’s go settle the score with the Chu Clan!"

"That’s right, they must give us an explanation for this!"

"If it doesn’t satisfy us, we’ll... snuff them out!"

At this point, the middle aged man suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the entrance to the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave.

Fan Jian’s silhouette tunneled from the entrance. His plump face was depressed, he had been treated as a guinea pig when they exited the cave.

When he heard the middle aged man speak, Fan Jian’s mouth twitched, he was unwilling to do this, but he had no choice but to be thick skinned and laugh coldly, "Who are you going to settle the score with? Who owes you an explanation? Who do you wanna wipe out?"

Afterwhich, Lord Thief and Chu Yu also crawled out.

Lord Thief shook the nonexistent dust off its feathers and gently landed on Fatty’s shoulders and commanded, "Fatty, smack them!:

I want to smack you!

Fatty suppressed the horrible feeling in his heart.

This man and this bird were both sh*tty jerks!

Especially the damned bird. It was too shameless and made Fatty crave one dish - Deep Fried Sparrow!

The rivals met and rage burned in their eyes.

This was especially so for Liu Xu, whose head was swollen like a pig’s head.

Yet, no one dared to make a sound.

Fan jian laughed coldly, " I hope you all have a little more self awareness and not make any more mistakes. The person in question is here, who else do you want an explanation from? Do you think that the underworld clans are pushovers?"

A flash of sternness could be seen in the middle aged man’s eyes. He finally laughed dryly, "It’s a misunderstanding..."

Chu Yu stood there silently, looking at these people.

Fatty threw his shoulders back as he suppressed the humiliation he was feeling. He looked at the group with arrogance, "Do you know, during this period of time, how Xie Tianyu from the Xie Clan had died?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding where Fatty was coming from.

Fatty held back tears, but said arrogantly, "I killed him! Why? You want to set the Xie Clan on me? Come and get me!"

The faces of the people couldn’t help but twitch, they could not bring themselves to belief what they had just heard.

How could there be such arrogant people in this world?

The Fatty continued, "Chu Yu from the Chu Clan, is my best brother! His matters are my matters, whoever dares to touch him will feel my wrath! All of your clans and sects have ancestor graves righ? Do you believe that I will bring them all out to enjoy the sun?"

"#￥%...%..." All of them were nearly driven crazy, thinking to themselves, Is this guy crazy?

The Fatty did not care about them, his voice getting more and more excited, as if he was mysteriously getting more ecstatic.

"Whatever Xie Clan, ancient school, ancient clan... whatever ancient sect? Whoever dares to touch the Chu Clan will feel my wrath!"

"Do you think I am afraid of owning up to my actions? No, no need! I am the heir of the Thief Sect! If you have the ability, go settle the score with the Thief Sect!"

Fatty was filled with sadness, and he thought to himself, Seniors, I am truly sorry for selling you out... however, I am sure you all will not mind this little bit of slander.

The middle aged man, Fang Qing and the rest were floored, thinking that the Fatty was out of his mind! Was he trying to make enemies with everyone?

He laughed hysterically, "Listen up, brother Song..."

As he spoke, Fatty looked at Chu Yu, clearly humiliated. Chu Yu returned with an encouraging look.

"Brother Song... damn it... ahem, is my best brother! His matters are my matters! Big brother Song is one of the seniors of Chu Yu from the underworld Northern Chu Clan! That Chu Yu... naturally is my... good brother! Yes, he is my good brother!"

Fatty cried inside, yet he still seemed quite squared away externally. He looked arrogant even as he said coldly, "If I hear anyone of you blind b*stards... going to find trouble with the Chu Clan, daring to find trouble with my good brother Chu Yu, then I will definitely make sure you can’t sleep at night!

"There’s still me, there’s still me!" Lord Thief added.

"..." Fatty looked as if he had just eaten sh*t even as he announced, "Yes, and there is this bird... he’s also my brother! Anyone who doesn’t believe in the methods of the Thief Sect, you are free to go back and ask your ancestors! Damn it, anyone who antagonizes them, is my enemy!"

"..."

Fatty felt that he could die shortly, this was simply courting death!

Chu Yu you b*stard, you have managed to keep yourself clean all this while, taking over Song Hong’s identity, a person who could disappear anytime.

Damn it, what can I do? What can I do?

How can I get out of this?!

I have taken all the rap!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Seeing the stunned faces of the group of people, Fatty said dismally, "Why are you all still here? Scram! Are you waiting for me to spoonfeed you?"

As he spoke, an aura of energy exploded from his plump body!

Invigorated Meridian Stage Seven!

Everyone paled instantly.

The middle aged man did not say anything else, bent over to pick up Liu Xu and walked away.

Limitless - Chapter 55: The Bird Reflects Its Owner

Even Fan Jian was slightly shocked, and he subconsciously broke out in cold sweat. Only now did he realize that the only reason he was alive was because this man was slightly bonkers and let him off.

This was simply too decisive!

How could he draw his blade just because the others had rejected his first offer of friendship?

He did not have any room for discussion before he started killing!

No one expected Chu Yu to be this decisive, not giving any chance to Qiu Tianxue.

The saying goes, "in a fight, the one who strikes first has the advantage", but this execution... was way too fast, wasn’t it?

Qin Ming and the group felt a coldness in their heart and consciously retreated.

Half of Qiu Tianyue’s body had been shattered by a ray of light from the Spirit Stunning Bow, but he did not die instantly.

He lay on the ground howling, the sound was extremely mournful.

Everyone was dead silent!

Chu Yu glanced at Qin Ming and the group.

Zoom Zoom Zoom!

This group of people turned and ran without hesitation!

Each of them running faster than a rabbit!

In the blink of an eye, all of them rushed into the enchantment and disappeared from sight.

Chu Yu sighed and thought to himself, "It’s a good thing they all ran."

This was human nature!

He walked deliberately towards Qiu Tianxue, who was still clinging on to life.

Fan Jian opened up his two flabby arms and realized it was full of sweat.

"Don’t... Don’t kill me... I am willing to give everything I have to you! Owowow..." Qiu Tianxue looked at Chu Yu pleadingly, blood spewing out of his mouth.

In all honesty, based on his current state, unless there was huge external intervention, he was bound to die.

Yet, self-preservation was ingrained in him and directed him to plead with Chu Yu.

He looked at Chu Yu who was getting closer and his eyes filled with tears.

"I, I still have a heaven shaking secret..."

Fatty, who was not far away, could not resist but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, F*ck, what a low-life, copying my tactic!

Chu Yu held the ancient bronze blade in his hand, raised it and cut down on Qiu Tianxue’s head.

"I asked you before, but you rejected my offer."

After he finished, Chu Yu sighed. He did not look good, activating the Spirit Stunning Bow had taken up more than half of his energy.

Even if he could squeeze off one more activation, its power would not be as strong as the first activation.

Even though it was a good item, it was not suitable for his use currently. It would seem that he needed to upgrade himself as fast as he could, Chu Yu thought to himself.

At this point, a chirping sound was heard from far away.

"Damn it, stop chasing me, f*ck, haven’t I told you? I did not get anything out of this, are you all out of your mind?"

"Damn bird, return the treasure you stole from us quickly, else we will deep fry and eat you!"

"B*tch, are you sick? If you’re sick go get it treated, don’t come and bother me!"

"You shameless jerk sparrow, I will deep fry you!"

Chu Yu was exasperated as he thought to himself, Who did this b*stard antagonize this time?

He could see Lord Thief flapping its wings and flying from afar with all his might.

Behind it were six to seven people, chasing it with all they got.

The one who had been arguing with Lord Thief was a gorgeous lady, yet, her face was filled with rage, her eyes firing with rage.

Lord Thief had seen Chu Yu and Fan Jian from a distance and flew straight towards them.

In a swift motion, it hid behind Chu Yu then asked sharply, "Why are you with this bloody Fatty? Why haven’t you killed him?"

"..." Fan Jian looked at Lord Thief exasperatingly, wondering to himself how could this bird be so cheap?

"Damn bird... return our precious!" That gorgeous girl looked furiously at Lord Thief hidden behind Chu Yu.

"B*tch, are you stupid? Look for yourself, what do I have on myself except for feathers? Do you want me to strip my wings for you to check?" Even though Lord Thief was hiding behind Chu Yu, its mouth was still as sharp as ever.

That girl was furious and raged, "If you have the ability, come out! Don’t hide behind others!"

Lord Thief smiled coldly, "If you have the ability, why not you come over?"

"You..." The lady was so furious she was gritting her teeth.

At this point, a young man walked in front and cupped his fist at Chu Yu, "This brother of ours, please make way, this bird had just taken the treasures we have gained, we want them back."

"Don’t listen to his bullsh*t, the treasures in this area belong to no one. Furthermore, except for the feathers on me, I have nothing! Who took your treasures?"

Lord Thief shouted from behind Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was slightly conflicted, the Lord Thief really did not have anything other than the feathers on its body. These people had constantly insisted that Lord Thief had stolen their treasures, but where were the treasures?

Chu Yu wanted to laugh, a group of Invigorated Meridian Realm experts were robbed by an Acupoint Charging Realm bird like Lord Thief. No wonder they were all so furious.

Chu Yu asked, "What exactly is going on? As you all see, there is no treasure on it."

"It definitely has a storage magical equipment!" the gorgeous lady vowed, "After it had flew over the treasures we had on display, all of them disappeared, if it wasn't the culprit, who was?"

"This is slander, you have no evidence, yet you want to convict me?" Lord Thief laughed coldly.

Chu Yu used the Voice Transmission Technique to Lord Thief, "Did you really take it?"

"Duh, else why would they chase after me for so long?" Lord Thief answered as a matter of fact, "Ok, I really do have a special space, but it is inside my stomach, they have no evidence!"

"..." Chu Yu was exasperated, his face twitching.

He then looked at the group of people, shrugged his shoulders and spread out his arms, "As you all can see, it has no space creating magical equipment on it. Maybe, this is all a misunderstanding?"

A rather fiery youth laughed coldly, "Do you have business here? Scram!"

Chu Yu’s expression became icy as he looked at the youth, "Are you referring to me?"

The youth replied coldly, "Exactly, you, scram!"

As he spoke, he took great strides forward, the power of the Invigorated Meridian realm exploding outwards. He raised his fist and aimed it at Chu Yu.

He knew that this Song fella was relatively mysterious, but so what?

Anyone who blocks my way, shall be beaten!

At that moment, the gorgeous lady saw the body not far away and exclaimed, "Liu Xu... stop!"

Just now, they were all focused on Lord Thief and Chu Yu, and they did not notice the body not far away.

It was too late for the youth named Liu Xu to stop, furthermore, rage had consumed him.

Furthermore, he had full confidence in his abilities, how strong could an Acupoint Charging realm warrior be?

As such, even though Liu Xu heard his comrade’s reminder, he did not heed it and did not bother stopping.

Chu Yu’s eyes flashed with iciness.

He saw Liu Xu’s palm approaching him, Chu Yu could even see his opponent’s ferociousness and ruthlessness.

Chu Yu did not dodge, and he raised his left arm to block Liu Xu’s palm. After which, he raised his right hand... and used a backhand to slap back!

Pa!

A crisp sound echoed out!

Liu Xu was sent flying by Chu Yu’s slap.

He fainted on the spot!

Chu Yu shook his left arm, it was slightly numb.

He thought to himself, This guy had some serious power!

Yet, the rest of them were shocked by Chu Yu!

Everyone of them was dumbfounded and stood rooted to the ground.

Chu Yu’s was too fast!

Even Fan Jian, who was in the Invigorated Meridian Stage Six, could not see for sure how Chu Yu had pulled that off.

His eyes flashed with a sense of aghast.

Before, when Chu Yu said that he could kill him even if he wasn’t injured, Fan Jian was unconvinced, thinking that Chu Yu was boasting.

When he had killed Qiu Tianxue just now, he had also used the Spirit Stunning Bow.

Yet, when he saw that Chu Yu could confront this martial artist, who was at least Invigorated Meridian Stage Four, face to face, Fan Jian was completely shocked. Not only could Chu Yu block the attack, he could send his opponent flying with a single slap.

Lord Thief cheered at the side, "Hahahaha, Hero Song is mighty! F*ck, f*ck them dead!"

All of the others were completely speechless, thinking to themselves that this bird was at the pinnacle of cheapness.

After being sent airborne by Chu Yu’s slap, he did not rise for half the day.

A few of his comrades rushed over to support him, and they were on their guard as they looked at Chu Yu.

One of the middle aged man, in his forties, looked to Chu Yu and asked solemnly, "My friend, isn’t this too much?"

This sentence... managed to antagonize even Fan Jian. He looked at this middle aged man and said, "Brother, I will slap you, and you are not allowed to retaliate, else you are too much!"

The middle aged man’s eyes flashed with a cold iciness. His cultivation level was not low, he was about Invigorated Meridian Stage Six.

However, even Liu Xu, an Invigorated Meridian Stage Four martial artist, had been sent flying by a slap which was released later, yet landed first.

He did some calculations internally and feared that even if he took matters into his own hands, he may not be able to do much to the opponent.

The only issue was that this loss was really too depressing.

The middle aged man looked coldly at Chu Yu and Fan Jian, and then his gaze landed on Lord Thief, who was hiding by the side.

"Bloody bird, we have remembered you, don’t ever let us catch you!"

As the middle aged man spoke, he motioned to the others to carry Liu Xu and exit through the enchantment, he did not want to leave anyone behind.

The rest of them were not willing to accept this fact, but there was nothing they could do.

Having seen Liu Xu’s failure, they did not even dare to utter a single word in anger. Afterall, not everyone had the cultivation level of this middle aged man.

Lord Thief laughed coldly, "Remember to sort your things next time, if not I still have to sort them out!"

The group of people walked away even faster, else they would be vomiting blood in anger.

Seeing that these people had left, Chu Yu turned to look at Lord Thief, "These people were all between Invigorated Meridian Stages three to seven, how did you do it?"

"Hahahaha, that group of fools, they had gotten quite a bit of ancient classics, weapons, as well as some miscellaneous magical equipment. Yet, they had displayed it on scene, wanting to trade."

Lord Thief recounted the incident with much pride.

That group of people knew each other well, furthermore, no one had gotten a better loot. As such, they had wanted to trade for what they needed on the scene. This group of people were very arrogant and they threw their things everywhere before they began to look for what they needed.

Lord Thief had sneaked in, and stole a pot with a clean sweep when none of them were looking.

Even though the group was not particularly contented with their yield, there were quite a few valuable treasures in there. They would not even be willing to give it to others, furthermore, how could they accept it being robbed?

As such, they all went crazy.

Afterwhich, the scene had unfolded before Chu Yu.

Fan Jian was shocked as he heard the stories as he looked at Chu Yu and Lord Thief dully. He thought to himself, How could this man and this bird be this horrible!

Damn it, anyone who could make it in the cultivation world really wasn’t anyone good!

Much worse than me!

Damn, indeed, the bird reflects the owner!

Chu Yu looked exasperatingly at Lord Thief, "Oh ya, didn’t you say you were here looking for an opportunity that is yours, did you find it?"

Lord Thief had a profound look, "Secret!"
