Chapter 44 – Appearance Of Variables (2/2)
“That’s right! Everyone look, he’s standing up!”
In an uproar, the entire audience went into a commotion. The sound of intense debates became more intense; they way they were speaking made it seem that they had forgotten that the leaders of each of the four major forces were still present.
“Little Yu, he…” Nuo Hu tightened his fists; his eyes were already a bit watery. Looking at Lei Yu lying on the grass still with a knife stuck in his chest, making Nuo Hu feel like his heart was being stabbed with needles, as if that sharp knife was impaled into his own chest. Fortunately Ai Er had already fainted back then; otherwise she would have ignored the words of Shangguan Xi Hong and rushed onto the field. Even though Nuo Hu wanted to do that exact thing, but in reality he couldn’t since he was a member of Dragon Group, his body was not really his own. Even if it was his own father Nuo Yi Long lying on the field, he still could not rush out.
Shangguan Xi Hong heavily sighed, “looks like we lost?”
Cai Zhong crawled up from the ground, his body swaying side to side. Step by step, faltering towards Lei Yu, his goal was to remove Blood Edge that was sticking out of Lei Yu’s chest. In his eyes, Lei Yu was already a cold corpse.
Inside Cai Zhong’s mind, he was no longer possessed by Blood Edge’s demonic energy; he was just going to retrieve this masterpiece that is Blood Edge since he could not give it up.
Step by step, Cai Zhong was getting closer to Lei Yu. The entire audience’s hearts were beating to the same rhythm as Cai Zhong’s footsteps. If that knife was pulled out and there weren’t any reaction from Lei Yu, then that would mean he had really died. Now the majority of the people present did wish to see this scene happen. But only the master of the Lei family, the Elder of the Lei family, and Martial Sect members; they all hoped to see Lei Yu stand up again.
Cai Zhong was getting closer, ten meters, nine meters…, three meters…, one meter, and finally with great effort, he was next to Lei Yu. He raised his hand and stretched towards the handle of Blood Edge. There was nothing Lei Yun Tian could do, his hands constantly rubbing each other out of anxiety, and even his forehead was covered with sweat. Lei Yu, you better be okay! The Lei family’s lifeline and future rests in your hands, you have to be fine!
When Cai Zhong’s hand grasped onto Blood Edge, Nuo Hu finally could not hold it in anymore as tears streamed down his face. The two siblings Nuo Yi Long and Nuo Yi Feng also sighed while shaking their heads. Shangguan Xi Hong was just restless, he had already stood up from his chair, it seems liked the outcome has already emerged; there was no hope for Lei Yu to have survived this.
At this time, the expressionless Cai Zhong suddenly opened his eyes wide. He could hardly believe what he saw, Lei Yu at this time was staring at him, and it was Lei Yu’s green colored eyes that completely shocked him. And at this exact time when Cai Zhong grasped the handle of the knife, a powerful suction force made his body startled. His body’s only little bit of internal energy left was then absorbed in a hungry manner by Lei Yu’s body.
“You guys look! Lei Yu’s not dead!”
“Wow!”
“Heavens, it’s for real! He actually survived!” The audience once again went into an unprecedented excited manner. In the area of the Lei family, both Lei Yun Tian and the Elder’s eyes were opened wide. With their shocking eyesight ability, they were naturally able to see Lei Yu with his eyes open.
“I’m not seeing things, right? This kiddo actually did not die?” Shangguan Xi Hong’s mouth was slightly curved like he was smiling but not really; he was staring at the center field where Cai Zhong’s body was continuously trembling.
And on the side of the Celestial Court spectators, they looked like they were watching something strange. Elder Qing Feng stood up laughing, “I never thought this would be worth seeing, I thought this was over already. Ah, not bad, not bad, today was not in vain. Even though it was just a duel between two little insignificant kiddos, but it was still quite enjoyable.”
“F*ck!” Zhao Han cursed where the Ming Sect members were seated, “his life is like a cockroach, he just won’t die.”
“I’m afraid this was the unknown variable.” The Ming Sect’s leader narrowed his eyes to a glint; his heart was already in a slump. If it was only because of Lei Yu opening his eyes, then there would be nothing special about it. The key was that he felt the changes to Cai Zhong. Being also a demonic cultivator, he could clearly feel the little bit of demonic energy left inside Cai Zhong was gradually disappearing.
