Chapter 143: Gong Jiu and Ye Zai
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Gong Jiu is here! Ye Zai is behind him!”
Wei Ling’s appearance on the stage sounded like a bugle call as the geniuses in the blessed land appeared one after another.
The two that attracted the most attention were naturally Gong Jiu and Ye Zai.
This was because these two should be the two most outstanding geniuses in the Tri-Gu Sect. The others were not even worthy of being compared to these two.
Gong Jiu looked like a handsome youth from afar, wearing a Daoist robe of the nine temples and eight trigrams.
That indifferent expression of his gave people an extraordinary feeling, like a god of beauty, his clothes fluttering, as if he was an immortal.
Behind him was a group of people. He was like a big boss on a trip with a group of underlings.
Speaking of which, Gong Jiu was the only person in the Tri-Gu Sect who was so high-profile.
But this person was worthy of such a lineup. He had cultivated since he was young and had stayed at almost every realm for a long time.
Almost every realm was perfectly polished and advanced. He had also used a special method to forge a top-grade Soul Altar.
At the same time, he had countless Gus supporting his cultivation.
It was said that although Gong Jiu had not broken through to the Purple Mansion realm, he had the strength close to the Purple Mansion realm.
There were also a few Elders backing Gong Jiu.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Sect Leader position was almost in Gong Jiu’s pocket.
No matter how strong the Leng family was, they still needed to show some respect when facing such a monster.
After all, the Leng family was already on the decline, and it had been a long time since a genius had appeared in the family.
The older generation would definitely not be able to last past the young and strong Gong Jiu.
However, Gong Jiu, who was suppressing the younger generation of the Tri-Gu Sect like the great sun, had his limelight stolen by a single person.
This person was Ye Zai, who was publicly acknowledged as the number one genius in the main sect.
“Ye Zai is still as easygoing as ever!”
“That’s right!”
Compared to the huge Gong Jiu, Ye Zai appeared to be very low-key.
A middle-aged man with an extremely aged appearance slowly walked toward the arena with a wine gourd in his hand.
His serious expression betrayed a tinge of worry that could not be dispelled, and an aura that had experienced the vicissitudes of life assaulted his face.
That’s right!
This person who looked like a middle-aged man was the number one genius of the Tri-Gu Sect, Ye Zai.
Don’t look at his aged appearance; this person was extremely young in reality.
His cultivation aptitude was terrifying as he had broken through to Grade-1 of the Soul Altar realm in a short period.
Moreover, Ye Zai’s Vital Gu was a variant, the Dragonblood Gu. It was a special variant Gu, and only Ye Zai possessed it in the entire sect.
And it was precisely because of this Dragonblood Gu that Ye Zai directly suppressed Gong Jiu, creating an illustrious reputation for the sect.
In the end, he became the disciple of one of the Elders until he became the hot candidate for the Sect Leader position.
“Eh? Everyone seems to be here. Where is today’s main character?”
With the arrival of Gong Jiu and Ye Zai, many people realized that the main character today had not arrived yet.
No matter what, Zhou Feng was the main character for the first half of today’s battles. Why hadn’t the main character appeared yet?
“Oh right! Where is Eldest Senior Sister? Is Eldest Senior Sister missing too?”
“I’m not sure! Eldest Senior Sister probably won’t appear anymore!”
“…”
Zhou Feng hadn’t appeared for a long time, so some of the spectators were already starting to get impatient.
Zhou Feng was currently slowly heading toward the Life-Death Arena.
Hadn’t Leng Maner asked him to try his best to stall for time?
Therefore, he deliberately walked slowly and didn’t use his spiritual power. He only relied on his physical body to slowly walk toward the arena.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared beside Zhou Feng and said in a gloomy tone, “You will only make yourself more embarrassed if you delay time like this!”
Obviously, this person was urging Zhou Feng to walk faster.
Today’s highlight was not Zhou Feng’s battle of attrition.
In fact, the main event was so attractive that many people got out of seclusion and gathered to watch together.
Naturally, the most important event was the duel between Ye Zai and Gong Jiu.
Although Ye Zai was called the No.1 genius, he and Gong Jiu hadn’t fought seriously. They had just exchanged a few attacks, measuring each other.
The battle between Ye Zai and Gong Jiu today would decide who would become the next Sect Leader.
Zhou Feng is just an appetizer.
“…”
Zhou Feng seemed not to have heard what that person said at all. He simply touched his nose.
‘Is he threatening me?’
To be honest, he was not afraid of being threatened by others.
Perhaps others would fall for this trick, but Zhou Feng would not.
The person who threatened him was 100% his enemy.
If that was the case, why would he listen to his enemy? Wouldn’t he be targeted if he listened to the man?
That was obviously impossible!
Zhou Feng had always had his own understanding of certain things.
“You!”
When the person beside him saw Zhou Feng completely ignoring him, his anger immediately rose.
‘Does this person really think he is Ye Zai? Does he take me for a nobody!?’
When he thought that his master would blame him, this person wanted to make a move and forcefully bring Zhou Feng to the Life-Death Arena.
“You’re courting death—”
This person did not expect that Zhou Feng would act even faster than him.
The moment Zhou Feng sensed that trace of killing intent, he immediately used the Blood-Burning Technique and Spiritual Attachment Art!
The violent Blood Qi was crazily burned, while the surrounding Spiritual Qi was restrained within Zhou Feng’s body.
In an instant, Zhou Feng’s aura was like a roller coaster, soaring into the sky.
He threw one punch, and that person turned into a cloud of blood mist!
He had been blown up alive!
Zhou Feng’s violent attack was unstoppable under the simultaneous explosion of the Blood-Burning Technique and the Spiritual Attachment Art, coupled with the passive Aura Blade’s effect.
If one didn’t guard against Zhou Feng’s violent attack, even a Grade-1 Soul Altar realm would suffer a great loss. Not to mention that the person who wanted to attack Zhou Feng was only a Grade-2 Soul Altar small fry.
“Soul power +1!”
The skill panel showed that the passive Soul Harvesting had been triggered.
He had obtained a strand of soul power, which made up for the intense consumption from before.
The only pity was that the passive Aura Blade’s stored energy had been wasted on that person.
Aura Blade: Your first attack will consume accumulated aura. For every consumed wisp of aura, the damage will be increased by 1%. You can accumulate 20 wisps of aura per day. The maximum accumulation is five days.
He had spent a lot of free time accumulating some aura, but now he had completely depleted it.
Still, this did not matter. Anyway, what Zhou Feng wanted to do today was to stall.
‘But this blood… Forget it! Let’s just leave it at that!’
Zhou Feng looked at the splattered blood on his body. He did not plan to change his clothes and just walked over.
Actually, during the process of walking, he had been pondering over one question.
That was, when would he escape from the Tri-Gu Sect? Would this be a great opportunity?
After all, almost all the Elders were away from the sect.
At present, Zhou Feng only needed to hide from the sect’s great formation, and he could actually escape. As for whether he could escape from the Tri-Gu Sect’s pursuit, this was also a problem that needed to be considered.
Zhou Feng was certain of one thing—it was too dangerous to continue staying in the Tri-Gu Sect!
