Chapter 659 (1/2)

AST 659 – Seven Stars Arena, Provocation

“Remember to keep it a secret. Or else we might not even know how we die.”

“Don’t worry Brother Zhao, are we the kind of people who would do that?”

“From what I heard, there was a time when the young master from Ten Thousand Poisons Sect went to Di Clan to propose a marriage but got rejected by them. Ever since then, Ten Thousand Poisons Sect has hated them. Coincidentally, things didn’t turn out well for Di Clan as their Old Ancestor passed away. Everything is in Ten Thousand Poison’s Sect’s favor because even if they themselves don’t take action, a fat meat like Di Clan will also be targeted by other people.” The young man who was known as Brother Zhao explained slowly while looking at Qing Shui and the others.

“Brother Zhao indeed knows about a lot of things. Oh yeah, what do you think they are at Seven Stars Street for?” Immediately, there was already a person trying to flatter Brother Zhao. Of course, he didn’t forget to ask his question.

“Judging from the direction they’re heading, they’re most likely going to Seven Stars Arena.”

“Let’s go have a look, for all you know, we might discover something unexpected.” The young man with surname Zhao said happily after thinking for a while.

……

Actually, Qing Shui heard what they said. At present, Qing Shui, who had already had a huge leap in strength acquired a terrifyingly powerful Spiritual Sense. He was able to detect every single movement of the things in his surroundings.

Qing Shui moved his sight to Di Chen and Di Qing. It seemed like they didn’t hear it. Di Qing was constantly chatting with Yuan Su and Di Chen. Occasionally, she would point at some demonic beasts or shops.

“Qing Shui, look, that’s the Seven Stars Arena! It’s the biggest battle arena in Seven Stars Country. For ordinary people, it’s really hard for them to even have a match in it.” Di Qing smiled as she explained to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui finally saw the Seven Stars Arena for the first time. Prior to this, he had only heard about it, it was right in front of him. It was located in one of the most bustling areas in the city, being in the center of a crossroad, the Seven Stars Arena was round in shape and about hundred meters tall. There were seven shining crystals decorated around it, which resembled seven stars. But Qing Shui wasn’t actually able to recognize what they were.

The Seven Stars Arena was dark purple in color. It had a circumference of around three hundred meters. Indeed, it was one of the biggest battle arenas which Qing Shui had ever seen. Even so, Martial Saint Warriors would most likely rise into the air while battling, very rarely would they remain on the arena to fight.

Not to mention that some gigantic demonic beasts were a hundred meters long. If it was a battle between two aristocratic clans, they would feel cramped even if they were in the Seven Stars Arena.

Another factor that played a part was that people feared that the Seven Stars Arena would be destroyed as a result of the battle. Hence, for truly formidable warriors with strength that surpassed Grade Eight Martial Saints, they would very often rise up above the arena to fight rather than fighting on the ground. The arena was only a tool for battles. For formidable warriors, their true battle was high up in the sky.

Only aristocratic clans like Di Clan and Ten Thousand Poisons Sect would battle on the Seven Stars Arena. Normally, one of the clans would send a battle invitation to their opponent. If the opponent accepts their challenge, both side would agree on a location to fight.

Slowly, the arena became a place that was specially used for battles between warriors below Martial Saint grade. For warriors above that level, the destruction brought about by them would be too devastating.

“Sima Sha! Look who that is!”

There were a lot of people in the arena. This place had always been crowded with people. A lot of beast carts would also pass back and forth around the arena.

The person speaking was a handsome young man. Similarly, Sima Sha was also a handsome young man except that he looked really devilish as well.

Sima Sha heard what the young man said and looked towards Qing Shui. He first fixed his sharp sight on Qing Shui before giving the three women around Qing Shui a perverted look.

“Sima Sha, the brother of yours that got beaten up indeed has good eyes. The three women around him are all extreme beauties.” The young man from just now told Sima Sha with a smile. He sounded calm while he was saying it.

“Hm, the Fight of the Ultimate Life and Death is in just two days. Since they’re here, why don’t we have some fun with them in advance. If they don’t dare to accept, we will just forget about it.”

After Sima Sha finished speaking, he went on to approach Qing Shui and his group. The people behind him, including the young man, hurriedly followed him. After all, Sima Sha was one of the strongest young men from his generation. It seemed like the seductive and handsome man was a bit older than Di Fentian. He was originally supposed to be considered the senior, but for some reason he was holding onto the most formidable nickname of the strongest person in his generation.

“Qing Shui, Sima Sha is about to come here.” Di Qing pulled Qing Shui and said.

“Sima Sha? Someone from Sima Clan?” Qing Shui looked at the young man who was approaching them in confusion.

“Yeah, if he wants to challenge you, it’s best if you reject it. Despite his young age, he is much stronger than his older brother.” Di Qing said hurriedly.

Qing Shui was more confused now. Di Qing seemed to be really concerned with this man. Could he really be that strong?

“He is the youngest elder in the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. He is really adept with his poisons. None of the people from his generation is a match for him.” By the time Di Qing finished speaking, Sima Sha was already less than ten meters away from them.

“Young lady Qing indeed knows me quite well.” Sima Sha chuckled.

Di Qing totally ignored Sima Sha. Instead, she told Qing Shui, Di Chen and Yuan Su: “it’s not fun here, let’s go back.”

“Young lady Qing, why are you planning to leave as soon as you come? It’s not common for us to run into each other, why don’t we spend some time together?” The young man behind Sima Sha said in a joking manner.

Di Qing knitted her brows and looked towards the young man who was talking: “shut up if you don’t want to die.”
