Chapter 40 – The Four Major Forces (2/2)

“Yeah, brother Yu is usually the most punctual, how come he still hasn’t arrived yet?” Whispered Ai Er on the side.

Xiao Fei walked near those two, “I think he’s probably afraid and doesn’t dare to come to this fight?”

“Shut up! Brother Yu would never be afraid! He will definitely come.” Rebutted Ai Er with her pouted cheeks, and angrily staring at the annoying Xiao Fei.

“Really? So why hasn’t he shown up yet? Is that still not considered afraid? If he was scared, he should’ve told us earlier so that the rest of us wouldn’t have to waste our time waiting here.”

“Enough! You guys keep quiet!” Shangguan Xi Hong’s hearing was exceptionally sharp so he natural heard them talking.

They immediately shut their mouths, quietly waiting.

But as time progressed, the people’s hearts were all over the place, why has Lei Yu still not shown up on scene? The time and place of this match had already been notified in detail to him, and it was determined that Lei Yu knew about it, yet why is there still no signs of him?

Probably the most anxious person was undoubtedly Shangguan Xi Hong. Hearing about Lei Yu and Cai Zhong agreeing to fight had already made him very angry. If it were one of his Shangguan family members accepting the challenge, he could accept because he puts the most trust in his own family members. But since it was someone that the Lei family had abandoned as useless trash becoming the person to accept the challenge, it was hard to not feel depressed about. But things had already happened, so even if he was filled with worry, he could only patiently wait.

The few dozens of Martial Sect members, Nuo Yi Long and Nuo Yi Feng were also frowning. Everyone was anxiously looking back and forth and all around, but did not see the person they wanted to see emerge. Some of the Dragon Team members that had a good relationship with Lei Yu were also quite anxious. Others did not believe Lei Yu could beat Cai Zhong but they did. In order to fight the instructor of Dragon Team to a standstill without a winner or loser was already an unimaginable thing to them. Perhaps there was something hindering Lei Yu so that he could not arrive at the stadium.

“Master, do you think little Yu was actually afraid, that’s why he still hasn’t arrived?” The time before the duel was only a mere ten minutes away, the Lei family’s elder also felt some anxiety.

“I don’t think so, since he was a child, little Yu was quite stubborn, if he promised something, then he will certainly fulfill it. Maybe there’s something delaying him, let’s continue waiting patiently” said Lei Yun Tian pretending to be calm.

Cai Zhong was standing in the center of the stadium with his hands behind his back, his eyes were slightly closed. He believes Lei Yu would not go back on his words today, moreover, riding on the lines of this match weren’t just exchanging of pointers but the reputation of Ming Sect and Martial Sect. If Lei Yu did not come, it would be certain that Martial Sect would be discredited and their face wiped all over the floor, and they will definitely not forgive him. Therefore Cai Zhong was not worried, worrying was useless, and the only thing to do was to wait patiently.

“It seems that today, we are unable to see a good dogfight show. The representative of Martial Sect was actually a coward, too afraid to fight” sneered Celestial Court’s Elder Qing Feng as he observed the anxiety and anger from the spectators.

Although Celestial Court brought the least amount of people, yet every member of Celestial Court here had extraordinary strength. If one was to show off strength with numbers, then Martial Sect was #1, the soldiers they had weren’t just the two Dragon Group and Eagle Group. But if one wanted to count the number of truly strong people, Celestial Court was undoubtedly the most powerful. Not only was Elder Qing Feng whom had already reached the realm of a Sixth Grade Celestial, the Court Leader of Celestial Court was at the late-stage of being a Sixth Grade Celestial. Between the four major forces, only Celestial Court had two super-strong people in the Sixth rank of martial cultivation. This also happens to make up for the small number of Celestial Court members.

At this point, the time for the match had come, but Lei Yu had still not appeared. The thin middle-aged man shouted out in a voice that everyone in the stadium could hear towards where Shangguan Xi Hong was located: “Does Martial Sect not have the guts to duel with us Ming Sect? Simply a turtle-like coward!”

“Shut up!” Shangguan Xi Hong’s anger was at its limit. With the presence of all four major forces here and this guy wasn’t giving Martial Sect any face. One should know, between the four major forces, face was the most important thing they valued. “If this kid dares to not show up for this fight, I will cut him up into 10,000 pieces!”

“You dare?” Lei Yun Tian’s words suddenly shocked the entire audience. The Lei family’s strength was the most mysterious. Every member of the Lei family cultivated extremely special methods, and very few were shown the public, but Lei Yun Tian’s strength was known to the people of the Fifth rank and up.
