148 Chapter 148 (1/2)

The people in the audience went quiet instantly after the name of the next participant was announced. The uncomfortable silence got then replaced by faint whispering.

”Wait... d-did he say, inner Dark Palm sect?... what is a person like that doing here...”

One person asked.

”Why would someone of that status be here... are they here to cause trouble?”

Another person asked.

”How should I know, this was supposed to be an event for the clans and not for the main sect...”

”This looks fishy... probably something big is going to happen!”

People continued speculating while Deng Cai slowly went over the bridge, the shield flickering on as he entered the stage. He had a faint smirk on his face, hands behind his back while not paying attention to what these commoners were whispering about. He looked at the opponent that he was facing, it was one of the two girls that he was slightly interested in.

'So it's that one...so Master wants me to play around with her?...'

Deng Cai sighed inwardly, his plans were slightly different. He wanted to show off during the tournament against the so-called 'best' of the warriors that those clans had to offer. He would let the fair ladies see how awesome and strong he is, garnering their affection in response.

But now things were different, his master had ordered him to 'play' with this busty yet short girl. He knew Yang Kai's character and what this actually meant in reality.

'Hope I don't break her too much... oh well there still is the second one, and she is more my type than this one.'

The young man looked to the audience, there were a lot of gazes on him. He was someone that liked to appear magnanimous on the outside even though he was quite rotten on the inside in reality. But if his master ordered him to be violent he would follow the order with decisiveness.

The two combatants were now facing each other, the mood was tense as the people that were watching didn't know who to cheer for. They kind of had to go with the young Dark Palm sect master, otherwise, they feared that the sect would think they weren't respecting them enough or giving them enough face.

The young lord smiled at the short lady opposite him, he was quite the handsome young man even the girls in the audience had their hearts skip a beat after getting a load of that hunk.

”What a beautiful fairy I have as an opponent, but don't you worry this lord Cai is quite benevolent when fighting against such beautiful opponents!”

He gave her a slight coquettish grin while still standing with his hands behind his back. Feng Nuana's eyebrows twitched as she had her hands out in a more traditional battle position. She as well as her big sister was someone that used combat fans as a weapon. This tournament allowed the use of personal weapons, the only thing that was forbidden was having spatial rings or pills that boosted your battle strength.

She was kind of mad as she noticed that her opponent wasn't taking her seriously at all. Which made the small girl fume in anger, which was shown in the form of a giant pout on her face. The girl moved her hand out and pointed at the yang man she was going to fight, rage in her eyes.

”Who are you calling a beautiful fairy you idiot, you think this big sis would go for shallow compliments like that, huh?”

She gave the man a malicious glare, her battle fans getting moved in front of her face as she got ready for a fight. She didn't know why, but this guy was pissing her off. He was way too smug and if she remembered correctly, smug and overconfident males weren't good partners. You were supposed to go for the awkward boys, the more troubled they looked the better match they would be.

Deng Cai was taken aback, he was giving the girl his best young master smile and he even blew his bangs upwards for an enchanting effect while talking. How could this woman not be affected by his charms, there must be something wrong with her. Was what this man was thinking to himself.

”No need to be shy lovely fairy, how about we play a little game?”

The man proposed still standing there with his hands behind his back while the people in the audience continued whispering among each other.

”I'll give you five minutes, if you manage to strike me even once, I'll admit defeat.”

The man stuck his chest out while posing proudly and swished his sleeve to add to the effect, thinking that this made him look really gallant and charming.

”Huh? Stop spouting nonsense you dandy bastard!”

The small girl fumed with anger as her face got red. She really didn't like how this guy was running his mouth, making it seem like she wasn't even worth his time. She was still part of the young master template, so this was quite the hit to her face. She was oblivious to the Dark Palm Sect behind this man and didn't really worry about things like that.

Feng Nuana gripped her two battle fans tightly and swung them forward. Her mortal grade weapon shone with a green light and produced a blade of wind in the shape of a scythe. The ranged attack flew with astonishing speed at Deng Cai that was still standing there without a care in the world.

”Die you bastard!”

The short girl had quite the potty mouth and continued shouting at the man while producing more razor shape wind blade attacks. The young master with the gem on the forehead on the other hand just dodged. He made it look easy as he dodged the wind scythes, each one of them missed and sliced into the rocky ground leaving deep scratches on it.

”My, my... you're quite the interesting girl... but this is child's-play for this young lord!”

The man continued bouncing side to side while using some strange movement technique that Feng Nuana couldn't get a read on. The girl just as the rest of her clan members was a ranged specialist. She continued pelting her opponent with wind blades, the sheer amount of them was astonishing. The number would leave a normal opponent bleeding and defeated by this point. This man, on the other hand, looked to be enjoying himself as he just soared through the battle stage.

The crowd gasped, they weren't expecting such a one-sided battle. The girl was ranked in the top ten of the current young generation that was taking part in this tournament. But compared to this man she was like a tame little kitten, he wasn't even retaliating, just dodging everything with ease.

Up in the VIP booth where the members of the triforce alliance were sitting, the elders were sweating bullets. They didn't know where this dark palm sect disciple came from, but everyone here knew well who he was.

”What is the disciple of that bastard doing here...”
