Chương 132: Rushing In
A figure ran up to him and they embraced each other. It was the girl with the extending sword, Yen Fen.
He looked at her and smiled. She smiled back, the man she chose to stay with for the rest of her life. At this very moment, he was the one who held all the cards and Yen Fen knew that.
Watching this display, many of not everyone was angry.
Qiu Bing, the lord of Clear Sky Kingdom, was the most furious out of everyone else.
"You cocky boy, just because you are part of the Tao Feng that you dare to act like this? I have long had enough of your sect! Do you dare try to block me?" he questioned angrily and threw out his fist. A red ball of energy formed and flew towards Zuo Er.
It was blood red and exuded a scary amount of pressure. Unfortunately, it had dissipated into a golf ball sized attack that was easily crushed by Zuo Er's hands.
"Oh, yes, the emperor of the Clear Sky Kingdom...", he called out, "Since you do not seem to be giving up, I suppose you can leave your life behind. Your children seem to have good potential, they could prove to be useful."
That last comment of his had fully enraged Qiu Bing, who suddenly released all of his energy. Like his son, he also followed the Dao of Massacre. The energy being released seemed to disturb the minds of the weaker disciples.
They felt bloodthirsty, aching for battle. Soon enough blades were drawn and the chaos of battle had begun.
To incite such a scene was shocking, Qiu Bing pulled out a saber of silver and crimson.
"You dare target my children in front of me?! I do not care what tricks you have, no one will stop me from crushing your neck!" He pointed the sword at Zuo Er.
His kingly stature was replaced by the dominating nature of a tyrant.
"Come on let's break out of this encirclement! Take that bastard over there, use it as a warning for the rest of the Tao Feng Sect", Lan Huang raised his bow and aimed it at Zuo Er.
"Wait! Stop..." Wen Jing moved to prevent the fighting but Senior Qing stopped her.
She shook her head at the elder, "There is no use. He has already shown his true intentions."
At this moment, Xiao Yin had arrived and flew to Senior Qing.
"Hmm? If the little bird is here then Ming Yue must need help. Wen Jing, follow the bird and see what has happened!" she said.
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Wen Jing quickly left with Xiao Yin leading the way.
Xuan Han and the other elders looked at Senior Qing.
"What should we do?" he asked, "We can't exactly just stand and watch. They're almost at each other's throats."
"I know", Senior Qing replied, "I knew that junior sect leader would attempt something but never did I think his appetite would be so big. Our first priority is to repair the barrier and secondly, we should try to minimize the casualties."
"You can leave the second part to us", offering help, Du Hua stood up from her seat, "This would be a good experience for these young ladies here."
"Always the type to find the positive in every situation, hm?", Vice Sect Leader Lu answered back.
"Please, I'm the head of the medical division of Heaven's Gate. I have a reputation to uphold", her chest puffed out as she smiled with her wrinkly face.
By now, everyone had their weapon's drawn. All of them were waiting for each other to make the first move.
"If you take back what you've said. I will let you live but only after I take both of your arms", Qiu Bing gave Zuo Er a chance.
After all, this mountain was a backbone to his nation. He did not want it to become a battlefield.
"You say you're going to crush my neck and now you want to give me a way out? Oh no, this is an opportunity I can't pass up", Zuo Er looked at the emperor cockily.
"Why you!" Qiu Bing leaped from his seat and headed straight for him.
Following him, everyone left their seats to fight. The only ones that have yet to move were Senior Qing and Vice Sect Leader Lu. Many of their elders had already moved out to inspect the barriers.
From Zuo Er's side, almost all of the elders moved forward to meet them in battle.
Of those that remained, there were the two elders that came with him before, Senior Hao and Junior Deng. There was also a third elder that stood by them. This one seemed to be weaker than the others, wearing light violet robes along with a small bag on his back. He was the most ordinary of them all with pale skin and black circles around his eyes.
All four of them retreated from the chaos and moved outside of the arena.
Out of sight, Zuo Er whispered into the ears of the pale skinned man before sending him off with the other two elders.
What he had asked of him, no one knew.
Once he did so, Zuo Er re-entered the arena and quietly watched. There was no reason for him to join the fight when he had others to do it.
"You! Since when did you join the Tao Feng?" Wang Yuan spat out as he fought a middle aged man who wore similar clothing.
Plain, gray robes put together by a silver sash, this opponent of his battled against Wang Yuan's fishing pole with his bare fists.
"Hah! It was an easy decision to make. Especially when they provide almost unlimited resources. Wang Yuan, I'd suggest you join us. They even have a stalk of Silver Stemmed Bamboo."
"What? That's impossible! Even after searching for years, I have never seen it. Don't play tricks on me, Dian Zhe"
"Why would I? After all, they give me this."
As the two acquaintances continued to fight, the one named Dian Zhe backed off and released his energy. A gray colored aura began to gather and shape itself into a tiger.
Dian Zhe went into a stance, with his legs spread apart and his fists were bent forward.
As he attacked in this state, illusions of a gray tiger followed his strikes. It roared and lifted its paw, striking at Wang Yuan. Faced with such as attack, he spun his fishing pole around and launched a wave of water comparable to that created by a storm.
Seemingly equal in strength, both attacks exploded on impact.
"So they gave you lower divine techniques? You would join them for that?" Wang Yuan questioned him with disappointment.
"Please, this is only the beginning. I've achieved so much because of them", Dian Zhe answered back.
As they continued to fight, there were others that seemed to have reached an intensity that few would dare try to enter.
Some fought in the air while others fought on the arena platform.
Those of the younger generation fought around them. Needless to say, they were encircled. The Tao Feng had the advantage in numbers, they seemed to be endless and none of them could be considered weak.
The only reason the disciples of these sects have been able to hold on was the inclusion of the many talents that gathered.
Qing Lei Jiang and Lan Huang were all taking on forty or fifty by themselves. With Jing Hai, the three of them were able to hold a side at bay while the others held off the other sides.
"Come! After I'm done with the lot of you, I'll go after your little leader. In fact you know what, I'll get him now."
After provoking the many purple colored disciples in front of him, Lan Huang leapt up and flicked his bow string twice, sending off two arrows at Zuo Er.
Aimed for his heart, they arced through the air only to be stopped by Yen Fen, who struck it down.
"Hmph, Going to hide behind your woman?", Lan Huang taunted.
"There is no need for me to move at all. I'll just watch you struggle from here", Zuo Er smiled and watched without care.
From his view, this was all to buy time. They can fight all they want.
Of all of them, the Sect Leader of the Eternal Blade Sect, Fu Men and the Emperor, Qiu Bing faced the most pressure.
