The golden-haired guy went into a rage! He was incredibly angry at Kai. Not only was this kid 60 Ranks below him. He was also bullying him in public.
The payback he was talking about was a mandatory payment. It was the Reputation Points that Kai had to pay for this fight. Since he was lower in rank, he would have to pay for Big Brother's 'training'.
- Are you ready puppy! - Holy Flame loudly scolded.
He couldn't start a fight without warning. That would be a direct violation of the Shadow Sect's rules. So, he wanted Kai's confirmation.
At this moment, Kai smiled viciously and two black daggers appeared in his hands. He was glad that his provocation had worked perfectly.
So far, Kai didn't really know what to expect from other Personal Disciples. Therefore, he was not hesitant to use such a dirty method as provocation. The more mentally unstable your opponent is, the easier it is to fight him.
- Let's begin, Goldilocks! - With a provocative smile, Kai shouted out.
- You're fucked! Graaaah! - Instantly, the guy shouted and screamed.
At the moment of screaming, a huge amount of energy burst out of the guy's body. And then, his silhouette itself began to glow with white fire! His entire figure literally glowed.
'He's almost at the high stage of the Cloud Sphere... And that flame... It's definitely Earth Fire.' - Kai quickly analysed and raised his hands up to his face, getting into a stance.
Kai was in no hurry to attack, he wanted to roughly understand the risks of fighting a 271 Rank. Although he had fought the Lone Buddha, it wasn't representative at all... Shuo was limiting his cultivation, with his skills themselves being at a completely different level of proficiency.
But also, one shouldn't forget that Shuo was one of the strongest. And his current opponent was only at rank 271.
- Raaaah! - Holy Flame shouted and waved his hands forwards!
A huge wave of white fire rushed towards Cai. It seemed like it was literally washing away everything in its path!
But Kai was in no hurry to dodge... He also decided to release his energy outwards.
- Boom! - A wave of black energy swept across the arena!
'He doesn't fight with physical weapons... Shuo told me about such martial artists. This guy's main weapon is his fire!' - Reasoned Kai as he watched a white wave of fire approaching him.
- Have you decided to surrender already puppy! Ahahahaha! - Holy Flame laughed loudly as he watched the fire approach his opponent.
He knew that his techniques hit a large area and were very difficult to dodge. And considering the daggers in Kai's hands, he immediately deduced that he specialised in agility. That's why he made the move he did.
- Damn... Immortal Drunkard's bad luck... - Someone in the stands said.
Although they were also seeing Kai for the first time... But as Supreme Disciples, they didn't dare to talk about him in a bad light. Therefore, they called him by his nickname even in such a lose-lose situation.
Saint Flame had a very bad temper and everyone knew it very well. But that didn't take away from the fact that he was very strong. To the Supreme Disciples, he was simply unattainable! Even many Personal Disciples who were around the same rank as Kai didn't dare to challenge him.
Just at this moment, Kai was completely overwhelmed by this wave!
- Doom! - A loud sound rang out. It was as if the rushing stream had collided with an unshakable boulder!
'Damn... Not bad...' - Thought Kai, taking that blow.
He instantly tucked his knees and crouched down slightly to create better stability for himself. Also, while covering his face, he leaned forward slightly. All that flame was coursing through him, slowly destroying the skin on his arms. Small burns were already starting to appear on them.....
Even after summoning his energy, Kai couldn't fully resist the Holy Flame's attack.
'Really not bad... But alas, I'm disappointed...' - Calmly said in his thoughts, Kai said.
As soon as he thought about it, the pulses in his body instantly stirred and rushed towards all of his wounds. And even under the influence of that white fire, they began to slowly heal... It couldn't surpass Kai's regeneration. There just wasn't enough staggering power...
Under the indifferent gazes of the spectators, the wave of flames slowly faded away. They saw scenes like this almost every day. Therefore, it didn't surprise them much... But their expressions persisted until they saw Kai!
The moment his figure appeared, everyone was a little surprised... He was completely intact! Only his sleeves were slightly charred at the edges....
To an ignorant person, this would seem insignificant. Except... The Shadow Sect's form was incredibly difficult to destroy! And the fact that it was charred showed how powerful the Holy Flame fire was!
- He's unharmed... What kind of defence does he have? - One of the Personal Disciples asked curiously.
- It's not a defence. - The girl with pink hair calmly replied.
She was also a Personal Disciple. Not only that, she was rank 175 in Rank and was at the peak of the Cloud Sphere.
- О? Enlighten me Sister. - The guy who had spoken about defence before asked interestedly.
This wasn't an ordinary disciple either. He was rank 167 in the ranking of Personal Disciples. He had a short haircut and ashy hair.
- ''My perception is better than you Brother Silver Spear... I'm sure it's not just about defence. He has terrifying regeneration... There were wounds on his hands, but he healed them very quickly.'' - A tall girl with pink hair calmly replied.
- Sister Purple Illusion, you're as good as ever... - The boy said thoughtfully as he continued to look at the scene. It wasn't clear what was going through his mind right now.
These two were quite a famous duo and often spent their time in the Fatuma High Arena. People said that they had known each other since childhood and came from the same place. Because of this, even in the Shadow Sect, they constantly stuck together.
Each of them was quite a formidable opponent and had vast battle experience. So, they quickly understood the situation that happened on the stage earlier.
- This Immortal Drunkard is good. He's definitely not a Rank 333. - The girl calmly gave out.
- You think so? - Asked the guy with ashy hair.
- I'm sure. - Nodding, Purple Illusion confirmed.
At this moment, the Holy Flame's attack finally dissipated on the stage... And he also saw an unharmed Kai. This frightened him a little.....
None of the Personal Disciples were idiots, there simply weren't any among them... At least when it came to battles and battle tactics.
Holy Flame realised that he had underestimated Kai, so he stopped his useless shouting and became more serious.
- Shit your flame. You've disappointed me. - Shaking his head, Kai mockingly said.
At that moment, his murderous thirst awoke in him. He finally saw a rather strong opponent and wanted to stomp on him. Kai hadn't felt like this in a long time... Enemies in Asura Hell or Shuo Hell couldn't cause such a feeling....
'Hehehe... It looks like it's going to be fucking fun here... Goldilocks will be the first victim.' - Thought Kai and smiled evilly
'Astral Flame Sacrifice!' - Mentally commanded Kai.
- Boom! - Instantly, black and purple flames erupted, filling the space within a two metre radius of Kai! Along with it, Kai released his energy to the maximum!
The pressure that emanated from Kai began to suffocate the weaker disciples in the stands. He was now like a predator, causing those watching to instinctively fear him.
At this moment, even Silver Spear leaned forward slightly.
- This is getting interesting... - Watching carefully, he gave out.
Sacred Flame didn't hesitate either. He felt that the situation was completely out of his control... He wasn't an idiot and realised that it wasn't the time to save his strength. He needed to pull out his trump cards!
As soon as that thought entered his head, Kai had already rushed forward with lightning speed!
- Boom! - An explosion sounded and a sound wave spread out! This was the result of Kai's dash!
- Guardian Sanctity Technique! - Goldilocks shouted loudly and white fire erupted around him again! Except it quickly began to take on a golden hue!
The heat that was spreading around increased by leaps and bounds! A huge wall of golden fire instantly appeared in front of the Holy Flame! Not only did it seem incredibly strong. But at the same time, it was emitting an unbearable heat!
If one was careless, one would be burned when breaking through this technique!
- Sacred Flame became serious. - Purple Illusion quickly said.
Naturally, Kai didn't pay attention to the Holy Flame technique at all, nor to the people watching and their words... He had his own ideas about it.
'Hehe... Perhaps you're underestimating my body and regeneration.' - Approaching the wall, Kai thought. At this moment, his lust for killing was becoming literally unbearable for others.
- Doo-dum! - There was a loud explosion sound from the collision, - Vshshuu! - Immediately after, a sound like a huge stream of flying air rang out!
At the same moment... All of the golden-coloured flames were literally blown towards the Boundless Waters!
'Shadow Mark Dance!' - Kai instantly reacted and teleported close to the enemy!
- Rest Goldilocks! Hehe. - Angrily shouted out Kai.
Following those words, Kai caught Holy Flame by the hair in the blink of an eye. This was followed by a lightning-quick kick to the opponent's chest!
- Bang! Crack! - A loud sound of bones breaking was heard! - Boo! - Holy Flame literally began to vomit blood! But it only spilled for a moment, right after, he passed out!
Kai didn't even bother to use his daggers... He simply struck with the fist his blade was clenched in. But even that was enough... Perhaps Sacred Flame had slightly underestimated Kai, which was why he lost so quickly. But Kai didn't care at all.
- 271 Rank in my pocket! Hehe. - Kai said angrily.
At this moment, he looked quite frightening as his murderous aura and energy had not yet dissipated....
The people in the stands were slightly shocked by such a fight... Although they were used to such a thing, as the competition in the Shadow Sect was quite fierce... But it seemed that Kai had even slightly surpassed this fierceness....
- Good! Very good! - With glittering eyes, Silver Spear gave out.
It was obvious that he was in a mild ecstasy right now. But it was hard to understand what exactly he was thinking at that moment....
- A new victim? - The girl with purple hair asked calmly.
- Stop it... They're not victims! They're my opponents! - The ash-haired boy said in a satisfied tone.
