153 Chapter 153 (2/2)

”The Senior is right, he clearly cheated!”

”He should be disqualified!”

Soon random voices were heard in the region. Everyone was willing to throw this youth under the bus just to save themselves. The people here were mostly cultivators from other clans and smaller sects. They all clearly didn't want to have anything to do with this situation and with that dictatorial sect that was causing it. Some felt bad for the youth and the clan behind him, but it was better him than them.

Zhang Liu looked around the battle stage, the people were shouting at him. Their voices started out faint, but the longer he listened the louder it got. They even looked angry and started throwing food and other various things to the satisfaction of Yang Kai that was aiming for it. Zhang Jin and the others just gritted their teeth, the two Dark Palm sect elders moved closer and were keeping an eye on them, not letting them move a muscle.

”Hogwash!”

Huo Qiang declared while glancing at Yang Kai and all the people in the colosseum that were shouting out profanities.

”Watch your mouth!

One from the sect elders stepped over, his brows furrowed as he stared Qiang down.

”Young master clam down, you must not act!”

Huo Qiao stood up placing himself between Qiang and the Dark Palm sect member. He knew the big picture, if they acted now even their Patriarch wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The red-haired man just clenched his fists tightly, he then sat himself down still deliberating on the best action to take.

'What will that bastard do now...'

Zhang Jin thought to himself while looking at this helpless situation. The Feng women were to the side, they were just standing there not able to do anything besides watching things play out.

'The boy is in danger... what am I supposed to do...'

The old man didn't see this going anywhere positive. That Yang Kai was a typical tyrant that had to have his way. He wouldn't budge an inch if he set his mind to it and he had the backing of nascent soul cultivators behind him.

Yang Kai smirked, he just needed to threaten the people here a bit and they all took his side. This is how the world operated here, the strong were worshiped while the weak were tossed aside. No one in their right mind would side with the people opposing him, if he wanted he even could make everyone present here disappear from the face of the planet.

”Yes, that's right.”

He swished his sleeve and glanced down at the judge that was just standing there.

”Don't you also think that he cheated and should be punished, honorable judge?”

The man started sweating, his palms already damp. There was no way that he could go against the young lord, but it made him look bad if he sided with him. In the end, he decided to take the hit to the face as he nodded.

”Y-yes, the young lord is right, the contestant named Zhang Liu clearly cheated... the match results are void.”

The man glanced at Yang Kai that was nodding while the judge was speaking.

”For his punishment he should be removed...”

The man that the judge was staring at suddenly moved his palm upwards indicating that he should stop talking.

”Honorable judge I think you should leave the punishment of this villain to me, he did harm my disciple.”

The judge nodded not wanting to argue with this nut case at all. The man clearly disowned his disciple a moment ago, now he was acting like a proper master who was trying to take his vengeance.

Yang Kai abruptly descended into the ring on his flying sword, the shield that was blocking Zhang Liu from leaving vanishing.

”You had your fun you little bug. You have only yourself to blame...”

Zhang Liu tried to move backwards but he couldn't. His feet felt like they were glued to the ground and he felt a heavy burden on his whole body. He tried circulating his cultivation but it was to no avail, this man was just too powerful for this youth that was only in the foundation establishment realm.

Yang Kai just stood there, tiny orbs that looked to be made from earth hovered in front of him. The moment the man pointed with his finger one of those orbs shot forward at an astonishing speed. The rudimentary attack rapidly struck the white-haired youth's thigh, penetrating it.

Zhang Liu gritted his teeth, blood gushed out but he was unwilling to show weakness even in this dire situation. This only made the Dark Palm sect Master angrier as he continued shooting the rock marbles at the defenseless youth. His shoulder, his other leg, his knee, and even his feet were the next targets as the young man was getting pelted with no remorse. If this continued for long, the youth would surely be dead...
