Chapter 61: Tournament Goes Wrong!

Chapter 61: Tournament Goes Wrong!

"That was fierce!"

"Indeed. The Dust Valley Sect is so ruthless that they would use any tactics to defeat their opponent without revealing much of their strength."

"Why do I feel they were fighting like rogues? There is no grace and aesthetic in their fighting style."

"Nonsense! Who cares if it is beautiful or not as long as they defeat their opponent. That’s what matters."

"Agreed!"

The audience was shouting, discussing the various tactics used by the Dust Valley Sect. Their faces filled with excitement. Everyone enjoyed the tournament so far.

Even though many were shocked by the Dust Valley Sect fighting style, they did not care as long as they gave them an exciting match to watch.

While the spectators were having fun, discussing the just-concluded match, the stage had been cleaned and the next match was going to start.

The next match was between the Radiant Sect and the Shi clan.

This time around, the Shi clan did not choose to surrender.

"What! The Shi clan is going to fight the Radiant Sect?"

"Really? Are they ready to lose their lives?"

"You can’t say? Perhaps, they are stronger than we think?"

Quickly, the two sides arrived on the stage and all eyes were on them. Most importantly, on the Radiant Sect disciples.

Since they arrived, they had been acting as if they were going to war and wouldn’t hesitate to kill their opponent.

Thus, everyone was waiting to see if their conjecture was true?

Standing at the high podium, the judge looked at the two sides with a solemn expression and shouted.

"Fight!"

Whoosh!

The five Radiant Sect disciples disappeared from their spot and appeared before the Shi clan disciples.

Before the Shi disciples could react, they saw the gleaming sword of the Radiant Sect disciples hacking toward them.

Seeing this, everyone in the arena sucked in a cold breath.

’This was a killing move!’

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ahhhh! Ahhhh!

Instantly, the miserable screams of the Shi clan disciples echoed in the still quiet arena, sending shivers down the spine of everyone.

"What a ruthless attack!"

Everyone held their breath, their gaze on the Shi clan disciples covered in a pool of blood.

On their chest, there was a deep gash, showing their ribs with blood gushing out like a broken dam.

"Look, two of them are no longer breathing!" a lady pointed, her voice trembling.

Truly, two of the Shi clan disciples had their throats severed, blood gushing out from their windpipe.

"How dare you?" a booming voice came from the upper level of the arena where the clan masters and elders from the sect sat.

"Why are you shouting?" a voice said casually. "If you’re not ready for your disciples to die, why did you sign up for the tournament in the first place?"

"Y-You..." the Shi clan master could not believe his ears.

"What? Do you want to go against my Radiant Sect?"

Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted from the Radiant Sect elder. This was the aura of Peak Core Refining Realm Stage-9, close to half-step Golden Core Realm.

"Huh!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath and retreated under the terrifying pressure. Elder Sun looked at the Radiant Sect elder and snorted.

"Enough! Don’t think you can intimidate everyone here."

"Really?" the Radiant Sect elder did not back down.

He looked straight into Elder Sun’s face with a provoking smile.

’Hahah. Who would have expected the plan to go smoothly.’ He sneered inwardly.

Elder Sun looked at the Radiant Sect elder and frowned. He felt something was wrong. Why would the Radiant Sect want to go against everyone?

Was he that confident he could defeat them or was he depending on something?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.

Not only him, all the clan masters also had the same thought.

On the podium, the three judges looked at each other filled with confusion. Everyone knew the Radiant Sect was in the wrong but were they trying to fight everyone?

"I believe everyone should take a step back," the highest judge said calmly, breaking the thick tension.

When everyone heard, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Radiant Sect was in the wrong, it was not a thing anyone could solve without invoking wrath.

The only exception was the Dust Valley Sect.

Even at that, the probability of them defeating the Radiant Sect was lower than half.

When everyone thought the Radiant Sect elder would give the judge some face, they heard his voice.

"Shut up! Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?"

Before anyone could react, a powerful force pressed down on the three judges.

"What!"

Everyone was stunned.

As for the three judges, they released their cultivation and a powerful aura erupted from their bodies. The three had a Peak Core Refining Stage cultivation.

The highest judge was Stage-8 while the two only were at Stage-7.

Yet, the three could not withstand the enormous pressure coming from the Radiant Sect elder as they were forced to jump off the podium.

"Y-You..." the strongest judge shouted, veins protruding on his forehead.

When was the last time he was treated like this?

He might be a loose cultivator but everyone in the Western Region respected him. And now, the Radiant Sect elder was stepping on his face.

"What!" the Radiant Sect elder sneered, getting up on his feet and throwing a palm strike.

Looking at the terrifying palm strike that almost covered the whole stage, the three judges wore a solemn expression.

They saw the three judges cast their defensive technique without hesitating.

Boom!

The three were sent flying, blood gushing out of their lips and their hair disheveled.

"What!"

The audience was shocked. When did the disciple tournament turn into a battle between the Radiant Sect and others?

Bang!

Elder Sun was furious and threw a powerful blow at the Radiant Sect elder.

The Radiant Sect elder was not flustered. He had already expected the attack and deflected the punch with ease.

"My Radiant Sect will show you why we’re the overlord of the Western Region." A sinister grin appeared on his face.

"Die!" he shouted. "Crimson Wave Palm!"

A powerful palm strike rushed toward Elder Sun, destroying everything in its path like a wave.

Elder Sun did not dare get complacent and responded with a powerful punch.

"Chained Punch!"

Po! Po!

Quickly, Elder Sun threw a barrage of punches, breaking through the terrifying palm wave.

"Disciples, listen to my command. Kill," the Radiant Sect elder shouted before he rushed toward Elder Sun.

Quickly, the arena turned into a battlefield and the Radiant Sect disciples

’This!’

How could the other clan masters allow this?

Quickly, they joined the battle to attack the Radiant Sect elder. As long as they killed the Radiant Sect elder, everything would return to normal. So they thought.

Just then, tens of elders with many hundreds of disciples from the Radiant Sect entered the arena, filled with killing intent.

"Good. Good. Everyone that goes against my Radiant Sect would perish today."

Seeing the group of elders, everyone’s expression changed.

It was then they realized this was all planned.

The Radiant Sect had been quiet for the past weeks. Who would have expected they would hatch such a sinister plan?

"Kill everyone. Don’t let anyone escape," an elder commanded and jumped into the audience stand and began to kill.

"Run!"

Chaos was everywhere with a thick stench of blood. Hundreds of people had been killed in a matter of minutes.

In the contestant pavilion, each clan was defending with all their might.

Mo Jian stood and watched the chaos unfold without any changes in expression. Previously, he had felt the Radiant Sect’s silence was not anything good and he had dispatched some men to monitor them.

But he failed to detect anything.

Now, everything became clear.

Still, he felt something was still amiss.

Why would they attack all the major clans in the region without a powerful backing?

Even with all these elders and disciples, it was impossible to kill everyone in the arena.

"Mo Jian! What are you doing? Come and help us!" Zou Mei shouted.

Everyone was trying desperately to defend against the Radiant Sect disciples but this idiot stood as if he was not part of them.

"Shut up! I’m thinking," Mo Jian snapped.

All the disciples were stunned. They looked at Mo Jian for a moment and rolled their eyes. What do you mean you’re thinking?

Just admit you’re nothing but weak trash.

Feeling all their piercing gazes, Mo Jian did not care. He knew fighting the common disciples was only prolonging their demise, not until they found the real perpetrator.

The sect elders looked at Mo Jian with annoyance. Now, they regretted making him the captain of the team.

While other captains were helping their teammates, he stood there watching his fellow disciples injured.

Apart from that, his action would make their sect lose a lot of face.

Unbothered by what others thought about him, Mo Jian’s gaze wandered around the coliseum, trying to find something out of the ordinary.

’Am I wrong? Is this only a mere attack?’ he thought, his confusion deepened.

Suddenly, he saw the blood flowing, following a strange pattern before they seeped into the ground.

When he saw it, his heart skipped a beat and a thick foreboding feeling came from the depth of his soul.

"T-This is bad! We need to leave immediately."
