章節 17: Kewang Yun – The Grand Tournament Part 2

Ren Yi and Kewang Feng both on stage, intensely staring, waiting for the other to make the first move.

Kewang Feng dashed forward, "Ice Armor!" she quickly started to freeze over, with an inch-deep ice surrounding each her entire body.

"Ice Blade" A Three-foot clear blade grew out of her arm, as she slashed down at Ren Yi. Ren Yi stood their calm and collected, biding her time.

"Lotus Crown Blooms!" Suddenly the space between the two girls started to generate an increasingly large amount of blossom! As the icy blade descended on Ren Yi, it was blocked then slowly started to change turning into lotus petals. Then it spread to Kewang Feng's armour, until she was covered in petals instead of ice!

The petals were extremely life-like, like a giant snake trying to constrict her body.

"It's true!"

One voice whispered.

"I know she really has reached the 5th stage of the Lotus Codex!"

Another replied.

[Humm, even though she has more up her sleeve, I don't think the little ice maiden will win this battle]. Kewang Yun silently pondered, looking up at the two clashes.

"ICE WORLD" Kewang Feng screamed, as the blossom was crushing her.

There was a blast of ice in all directions for five meters, everything turning to ice.

As Ren Yi saw it approaching she quickly dodged out of the way, replying in turn – "Lotus Storm!"

A whirlwind of blossom started to pick up around her, becoming increasingly violent. It slowly started to spread to the barrier outside the stage, pushing against it. The ice was starting to crack apart, causing Kewang Feng's face to go pale.

[Victory Ren Yi] Kewang Yun slowly said.

The people around him nodded as well, there was no way that Kewang Feng could cope with this at her current cultivation level.

Ren Yi pointed at Kewang Feng, causing the storm of blossom to head straight for her. Probably knowing her odds when it came to this, she instantly decided to surrender.

"Victory Ren Yi" The Ren Patriarch announced loudly.

The Kewang Patriarch couldn't help shaking his head in disappointment. "Congratulations to the City Lord, you have a great pearl in your Clan." He said genuinely. Only receiving a smile and a quick nod in return, which must have been annoying.

Staring at his father, he couldn't help but shake his head, [Damn old man, we have been so alike in the past before, yet you do not realise… you are one of only two knots left in my heart.] Kewang Yun didn't know how he could solve this problem though. The Patriarch was powerful and had been at the peak Sea Stage for many years. Even if Kewang Yun were to face him after he entered the Sea Stage, he didn't know if he could defeat him without anyone else interfering in the matter!

Kewang Yun sat down and started to meditate. It was too early to be going over these things in his head. Today the only reason he was here was to win the competition and gain any rewards.

He gently fell into a trace. Passing the time until his match. A thought popped into his head, something strange. He opened his eyes, he didn't look at the stage, he looked at the Matriarch of the Nang Clan.

Her most talented disciple was getting thrown around like a doll by Ren Zhou, yet she was smiling as if she knew something. [Strange, what could she feel so happy about?]

Kewang Yun felt pounding in his chest, which was making him increasingly alarmed. [Asura's Way say's that 'Although one should be strong and undefeatable if infallible danger arrives, the Asuran Qi shall know.' There must be some danger, but even the Ren Patriarch doesn't make the Asura Qi act like this… There must be someone at the Profound Realm here, or perhaps even higher! Why would someone so powerful come here.]

"Winner Ren Zhou!" The Ren Patriarch announced loudly.

"Next match, Kewang Yun verses Nang Po"

Standing on the stage, Nang Po couldn't help but laugh. "I heard you were defeated by some cripple Kewang Yun, do you dare face me?!"

Kewang Yun climbed the stairs slowly, approaching the loud-mouthed idiot. [I should kill this scum… why does there have to be such rules? Although he is right how did Kewang Tian do that to me, it was probably that Old Man giving him power, or some artifact.]

Kewang Yun sighed to himself. Walking to meet face-to-face with Nang Po.

He sighed deeply. "You shouldn't have such a glib tongue, someone will cut it off one day you know."

"Shut up and taste my Warhammer!" Nang Po shouted in fury. Nobody had ever dared to speak in such a way to him!

Swish!

That was all that was heard. Then a manic screaming occurred.

Nang Po was on his knees, eyes full of tears holding something. It was his lower Jaw!

"Nang Po, I know you're upset that I lied to you. I took your whole mouth instead of your tongue, I can't help it… I am a compulsive liar." Kewang Yun whispered to him in a low voice, so nobody but themselves could hear.
