Indeed the kick and the blow from a peak mid-level Xantian Martial Force realm cultivator was no joke, not to talk of two attacking at once. The fourth Prince was thrown a hundred meters out by the force behind the blow and kick.
He landed on the stage and rolled ten more meters before he stabilised himself. He stood up but fell back to his knees again as he vomited three mouthfuls of blood consecutively. He was looking pale and as if he was at his wit's end. He finally stood up and took a long breath.
His opponents did fare much better as their wounds might be deep but it wasn't life-threatening and they could still fight. They both quickly used yunqi to seal their wounds and stop the bleeding.
They paused their attack to attend to themselves and this gave the fourth the chance to catch his breath for a bit. Both participants were exhausted. So there was a slight stalemate. They wearily looked at each other and tried to assess their opponent's conditions.
Jui Ge and Lu Mu were shocked to realise the younger Combatant had taken their full-blown attack, an attack which should have knocked him unconscious yet there he was. They looked at other each and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Apart from some slight internal injuries, their opponent seemed to be alright and able to fight them again. it looks like this young boy who they are four years older wants to humiliate them.
They are the top geniuses from their respective countries. How could this monster of a peak-level spirit realm practitioner seek to humiliate them like this? What would happen if they ended up losing to him even though they fought with cultivation bases higher than his and on top of that they had ganged up on his? They both cursed their elders for bringing this upon them.
Meanwhile, the spectators cheered loudly once again when they realised the Fourth Prince was okay, after the deadly exchange. There were loud applause and cheers for a long time.
The mysterious Elder from the Heavens Sword Holy Land smiled and nodded his head and took a sip of his wine, while the other Elders of Sects in the pavilion with him broke out into discussions.
"Aaahhh, the younger generation shall surely surpass" Elder Ma of the Hidden Dragon Sword sect praised.
Elder Mai Ting of the White Lotus Sect smiled and nodded her gorgeous head. Her beauty was so alluring, with her plump blossoms, Perry's white skin, gorgeous figure and heaven-defying beautiful face. Some of the elders couldn't help but swallow audibly.
Elder Li from the Dragon Spirit sword sect was staring at her chest area and swallowed in big gulps without a care for his image. " oh what, a figure. see those twin peaks. my blood is about to flow in reverse. Only if I could just taste her sweetness am willing to become a slave. aishh." He was thinking this thought as his face grew different shades of red.
Elder Mai Ting looked at him and leaned towards him. "Haven't you seen enough? Or should I take my clothes off so you can touch them?" She then giggled in an alluring manner. This completely drove Elder Li crazy.
As he perceived the sweet scent that drifted into his nostril and oh that voice. He instantly drew out his hand to touch the full bloom twin peaks a few inches away from his face.
His good friend Elder Mu Yun of the Fire Spirit sword Sect, quickly hit Elder Li's hands and jolted him awake, from his reverie. He turned to Elder Mai Ting," Fiary Mai, why must you torture him this way?"
Elder Mai looked at Elder Li who had blood flowing from his nose as he tried to control himself. " Who would have thought he was so weak-willed, hihihi, serves you right." She then leaned back and focused on the fight.
Meanwhile, Elder Li silently transmitted his thanks to Elder Mu Yun for saving his life. not only was Fairy Mai a Sword Sovereign, but she was also the vice sect master of the White Lotus sect. Only unblemished fairy-like and talented girls were allowed into the sect. None must take a man throughout their life. unless in very rare circumstances.
Should he have touched this breast? That would have been the end of him. The whole White Lotus sect would have chased him down and eradicated his entire clan. He couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. A disaster almost befell him this time.
Fairy Mai sat down with a nonchalant approach to the discussions going on around her. She is indeed a femme fatale and so is the sect she represents.
The mysterious Elder from the Heavens Sword Holy Land, sat down as if nothing was going on around him and his focus was on the fight which had stalemated for a few minutes as the Combatants re-accessed each other.
The fourth Prince used the opportunity to heal his internal injuries whilst he refilled his body with yunqi to replace the depleted supply, due to the intense pressure asserted upon him by the two peak-level Xantian Martial force realm cultivators.
The elders of both the Jui Ge and Lu Mu sent messages via qi transmission to their participants urging them to stop hesitating and use the sword qi and sword intent to quickly end the fight.
Both Jui Ge and Lu Mu were shocked by the instructions they had just received. If this is not shameful then what it can be called. How could they, proud top geniuses of their country be reduced to these shameless states? They both felt humiliated and naturally blamed it on the fourth Prince.
Thus in anger and humiliation, they each manifested a raginging storm of sword qi and sword intent that caused the whole stadium to feel suffocated and threatened. They held absolutely nothing back and brought all their Trump card out.
Jui Ge had brought out fifteen fly swords and sent his sword qi which appeared boundless and almost grayish into his treasured sword causing the sword to buzz and vibrate. The pressure being exerted on the spectators was not an easy thing to deal with.
Meanwhile, Lu Mu also did the same by bringing out fifteen flying short dagger-like swords and his sword qi was light purple and equally vast. The storm of sword qi and sword intent raged threatening to swallow the fourth Prince as he stood still and pale nursing his wounds.
The spectators were shocked and disappointed in the behaviour the two countries and their contestants were displaying. "How could cultivation geniuses be this shameless? Two Xantian Martial Force realm cultivators ganging up on a kid who is four years younger than them and so many levels below them in terms of cultivation. These guys have broadened my horizons with their thick skin. tsk tsk tsk." One man lamented.
In the stands of the various countries, there's shock and then it dawned on the elders that there might be hands pulling the strings in the dark behind the scenes. They were all wondering what sort of juicy benefits the two countries were offering for them to act this shamelessly and lose all their face like this.
In the host's pavilion, there was a relaxed atmosphere, as the Crowned Prince sat there with a smug smile on his face." Ahahahhaha, now let's see how you wiggle yourself out of this one, little brother. I hope you are enjoying my present. " He transmitted a message directly to both elders, "they can cripple him. I would take full responsibility. When it's done I would double whatever the Princess promised you". He sat in a very relaxed mood to enjoy the crushing defeat of his brother and to relish every moment of it.
On the stage, both Jui Ge and Lu Mu received another instruction through voice qi Transmission, "You! What are you two hesitating for? Attack already and don't hold back, just don't kill him. if he is crippled the better "
They both raised their head to look at their elders to confirm what they had just heard. The elders in charge nodded back at them in confirmation. Now it was evident to the whole Spectators that something fishy was going on.
There were murmuring and complaints. But the most dominant emotion was anxiety and deep concern for the young genius at which all this was targeted.
the fourth Prince Zi Longxie, stood erect on the end of the stage as his opponent's gather moment.
He stood still closed his eyes and used his yun qi to gently seal his internal wounds and replenish his energy and stimulate and circulate his cultivation base. No ripple of sword qi or sword intent was felt on his body.
The spectators were disheartened by his posture, they thought he had given in to dismay and had given up. Most of the women spectating cultivators and mortals alike couldn't bear to watch the fight anymore. in their minds, the lone figure standing in the path of two different raging tornadoes of sword qi and sword intent, looking miserable and blood-stained seems so helpless.
" They must stop the fight, he can't take it. They must stop the fight." Soon a few people joined in and it became a chant. " Stop the fight!! Stop the fight!! Stop the fight!!". soon the whole spectators' stands were vibrating with the chant.
After a while when they were not stopping their chant, the supervising Elder of the tournament stood up and powered his voice with yunqi. "SILENCE!!! according to the rules of the fight, even though it seems unfair no rules have been broken. But if a contestant chooses to forfeit then, the fight can stop. if not then the fight must continue. "
The spectators had no choice but to hope the young Prince would take the opportunity to forfeit the fight and keep his life. But alas the fourth Prince was oblivious to all the ruckus being caused on his behalf once again.
He just stood there as quiet as a dead leaf gently swaying in the wind. He was healing his wounds and replenishing his strength. all the delays had helped him to restore his strength fully as he used his spiritual sense to track every one of his opponent's movements.
As if on a cue both Jui Ge and Lu Mu moved in Unison once again. the vast sword qi and sword intent overlapped as they attacked the fourth Prince with all they had. Thirty flying swords, sword qi, sword intents of the peak Xantian Martial force realm cultivators and two treasured swords wielded by enraged combatants raged towards the fourth Prince with the intent to devour everything in their path.
As the full-force attacks from Jui Ge and Lu Mu swept across the stage howls as if from angry ghosts could be heard. The supervising Elder had to quickly redouble their effort to seal off the fighting stage with their sword qi, yunqi and sword intent to prevent the chaotic energies from devastating the audience.
Their sword qi and sword intent were so fearsome that they even caused space to ripple. But alas the recipient of this attack still stood perfectly as the attack was about to swallow him up, he moved into the storm welcoming it.
The whole Arena was shocked, what was happening? why is he not dodging or forfeiting?
The mysterious Elder from the Heaven Sword Holy Land couldn't help but stand up from his seat and use his heavenly gaze to see what the fourth Prince was up to.
Everyone was shocked. " it's over, the young boy was overwhelmed by the pressure and chose to commit suicide in battle" One man said to his friend in bewilderment. " it's an honourable death, to die in battle like a man."
