148 Chapter 148 (2/2)

Feng Liena moved forward and stared at the center stage. Her younger sister was assaulting her opponent with various techniques, but they didn't look to be effective at all. The granny next to her rubbed her chin and also chimed in.

”Could it be a coincidence...”

”I don't think so, this youth wasn't there during the trials. His name was called out during the draws either.”

Zhang Jin replied while also standing up from his seat. He didn't like this one bit, this situation was strange. He didn't know what this was about, but it was probably something relating to the Feng clan. The disciple of that Yang Kai was probably moved to fight this young Matriarch's sister for a reason, but what could that be?

”Do you have any ideas about the purpose of this? Did you offend this disciple or his master in any way?”

Feng Liena moved her face to the side and went a bit pale. She remembered one person from the Dark Palm Sect, she didn't give him much face and stormed out the moment he made a marriage proposal out of nowhere.

”The Matriarch did refuse him, I was there with her that time.”

Feng Maling replied while following the rest to the edge of the VIP booth as everyone was trying to look at the fight.

”Think this might have been the reason we were sent to that blasted secret ground two years ago. Though we haven't heard anything from him since then...”

The old lady vaguely remembered the Dark Palm young master, he had a strange look in his face. She was the one to apologize after the whole predicament happened for her Matriarch. The man had a weird smile that gave her the chills that time though.

”Maybe you should tell the young one to give up, that young man is clearly just toying with her at this point...”

The old man spoke up while rubbing his chin. He started measuring the young man's strength and was quite surprised that such a young lad existed. He was clearly in the late stage of foundation establishment, even edging on the great circle realm.

'Is this boy really below the age of twenty-one?'

Zhang Liu and Xue were already progressing fast, but even those two might not be at that realm in just a couple of years. Was this youth lying about his age? Even if his age was a lie, he was from the inner sect. The same sect that owned this whole town, they would probably not care or be too afraid to punish him for it.

”Tell her to give up?”

The busty Matriarch looked to the granny next to her, the older woman grimaced and then shrugged.

”I think it would be easier to find a phoenix feather than to convince that sister of mine to surrender...”

Feng Liena was getting worried, it would be great if the battle just ended. Her silly sister didn't look as if she had any chance of winning. At least not if she used the regular Feng Clan techniques that were widespread. But would her pride allow her to go down without a fight?

”Oh, that's a nice breeze my little cute fairy.”

Deng Cai chuckled to himself while doing a somersault backward and landing on his two feet. The audience bursting out in cheers at the nice performance.

'Master didn't really give me any specific instructions, so I'll just embarrass her this way... best to not damage her before I have my fun.'

He licked his lips, which gave his opponent the shivers. Feng Nuana narrowed her eyes and stopped showering the man with the wind scythes. She moved her hand backward, her legs bent while she leaned forward. She looked now like someone that was intending to throw a discus from ancient Greece.

The man noticed that she was gathering some spiritual energy into the fan she was holding and just whistled. He was just going to dodge and then deliver a small attack of his own as the five minutes were almost up.

Nuana gritted her teeth and she felt a drastic decrease in her spiritual energy. The moment she 'threw' her fan forward without releasing it you could see a phantom of an emerald hawk behind her. Deng Cai felt like something was off as the greenish looking ranged attack flew forward him. The bolt of energy transformed into a hawk-like bird that charged towards the young man, the speed of this attack was several times faster than of the wind scythes.

Cai's eyes bulged as he dodged to the side, evading the speeding bird just in the nick of time. This was far from over as the green hawk flew upwards and quickly changed its trajectory. It was chasing after its enemy and gaining more speed with each passing moment.

'This one is a bit tricky...'

The man thought while constantly dodging the energy bird, the attack radiating a strong Dao of the winds. But enough was enough, it was apparent that he couldn't evade this thing forever. He moved both his palms forward and chanted something. People could see a faint phantom of a giant mountain behind him.

A giant slab of rock appeared in front of Deng Cai just a few moments afterward. It looked like some kind of mystical wall with some strange runes and patterns etched into it. The green spirit bird collided with the slab of spirit rock producing quite the loud booming sound. After the smoke cleared people saw some cracks on the defensive technique but it was still there, they couldn't say the same thing for the energy animal that was now gone.

”Nice try little fairy but...”

The man couldn't finish his sentence as he felt something off. While he was defending himself he had lost sight of his opponent, this was something that Feng Nuana was counting on. The small girl was already following her previous attack with a close-range one, her battle fan moving towards her opponent.

”Go to hell you bastard!”

”Why you little!”

The man kicked the ground making it quake from the sheer amount of power. He was slightly late on the uptake as the battle fan that was covered by a layer of green spiritual energy sliced right next to his face. The two finally jumped back after the exchange, the small girl clicking her tongue as she didn't manage to get a clean hit on her opponent.

Deng Cai, on the other hand, was seeing red, as the spot between his eyebrow and nose got sliced and he was bleeding. He moved his finger to the wound, it was a shallow cut but he could feel a stinging sensation. His hand shivered and his eyes trembled as he looked at the blood that was now on his fingers. He looked away from the blood and to the person that managed to injure him, his face going red with anger.

”You dare? You fucking bitch!”
