Chapter 73 - The Tournament - Prelimenary Matches - Day 3 (1/2)
And so the tournament moved on. At his third match, his opponent didn't bother with any trash talk. His opponent seeing the previous two matches that Mesa fought, was laser focused on him. After the referee started the match, he wanted to move in for the attack. Only for Mesa to suddenly appear in front of him, with the fingers of his right hand extended to his stomach. His opponent was frozen in shock and could only watch as Mesa performed Bruce Lee's famous 'One Inch Punch' on him, knocking all the air out his lungs and he dropped to the ground, clutching his stomach in pain and vomiting out everything he had. Ten seconds later, the referee called the match.
”Blue Wind Imperial Family's Mesa Uchiha wins!”
For his fourth match, Mesa stood in his place and let his opponent come to him this time. His opponent came out, swinging a heavy sword at him from overhead. Mesa casually dodged it by just narrowly moving out of the path of the sword. As his opponent's came down, he brought up his right hand with a Rasengan and slammed it into his abdomen, launching him straight out the arena.
”Blue Wind Imperial Family's Mesa Uchiha wins!”
For his fifth opponent, Mesa used his Sharingans and put him into a nightmarish genjutsu. When Mesa broke the genjutsu for him. He was a broken mess, with tears and snot streaming down his face and screamed that he gave up the moment the genjutsu was broken and he laid eyes on Mesa.
”Blue Wind Imperial Family's Mesa Uchiha wins!”
As the matches for the day winded down, Mesa's notoriety increased. He went from the laughing stock to the enigma for all the weird ways he won his matches. His fellow participants Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong haven't won a single match today and they remained the laughing stocks. After they came back to their courtyard, Mesa went to work making dinner for everyone. That night, he went to have a nice time again with Chu Yuechan and Cang Yue.
During the next two days, Mesa easily won all remaining twelve matches and qualified for the top 300 and thus he advanced to the next round. Feng Bufan and Fang Feilong on the other hand, haven't won a single match and were thus relegated to the secondary area. Feng Bufan decided that he had enough of this and wouldn't subject himself to the humiliation of the secondary area. As he knew that with Mesa here, none would come and watch his matches there. So he decided to leave the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa and return to the Blue Wind Imperial City. Fang Feilong too decided not to participate in the matches in the secondary area, because he knew nobody would come and watch his matches. But unlike Feng Bufan, he decided to stay. He wanted to see the matches and watch the disciples of the Four Major Sects fight, for it was a once in lifetime opportunity for him. Back with the group, Mesa was standing rather intimately close to Cang Yue and he asked her to reward him with a kiss. Completely flushed red, Cang Yue quickly gives him a peck on the cheek. Fen Juecheng who saw this all happening was absolutely mad. He came to this tournament to support his younger brother and hope his luck was good enough to see Cang Yue. And ever since the first day of the tournament he has been in a perpetual state of rage. Every opponent who went up against Mesa, were easily defeated by him. In fact, he made it look his opponents were nothing ants in front of his power.
'You filthy whore! How dare you betray me! You were the only one I've loved and you should have been mine. And yet here you are, kissing another man in public and f.u.c.k.i.n.g him every night! I swear, I will kill Mesa Uchiha. And when I do, I will show his corpse to you before I make you join him in hell.' Thought Fen Juecheng as he was glaring at Mesa and Cang Yue.
That night, when the whole group went back to their courtyard and had dinner, courtesy of Mesa once again, they all retired to their rooms. Mesa was the last one to go to his room, as he was cleaning up the dishes. Opening the door to his room, he walks in, turn a light crystal on to illuminate the room and closes the door. As he walks towards the bed, he is suddenly stabbed from behind with a sword through the hart and exits out the front.
”RRAGHH…. UUGGHH…!” Groans Mesa as he sees the sword stick out of his chest. Looking back, he sees that the assailant was none other than Feng Bufan, who smiles maliciously as he whispers into Mesa's ear.
”Young Master Fen sends his regards and wishes you a pleasant trip down to hell.”
Expecting Mesa to drop dead to the ground, he is surprised as Mesa suddenly starts laughing.
”Hahahahaaaa…. So, this is what Shinji came up with now that those opponents of mine he ordered to injure me turned out to be duds. Seeing the disciples of Four Major Sects fight is a once in a lifetime opportunity'. That is a good excuse to stay behind and do his dirty work, I commend you.” Said Mesa nonchalantly. Feng Bufan on the hand, was overcome with dread and terror as his target wasn't dead.
”WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! WHAT ARE YOU?!” Yelled out Fen Bufan in shock.
”If I was a normal person, yes. That would've killed me. But seeing as how I am practically immortal, a sword through the heart is nowhere near enough to kill me.” Said Mesa as Fen Bufan immediately let go of the sword and tried to run away, only to find out that his body was not responding him.
”Do you seriously think, that after you've shoved a sword through my heart, that I would just let you walk away like that. No, no, no, no, no. You are coming with me.” Said Mesa as he put a hand on Fen Bufan's shoulder and teleported them both away. The place where he teleported them was the cave where he took the Primordial Azure Dragon God trial.
”OHH RAN, SHAW!! Can you both come out please!” Yelled out Mesa at the cave and a few moments later, two golden dragons came out of the cave. Fen Bufan was absolutely terrified, for both of these dragons were as strong as Ling Kun himself.
”Master, welcome back! What can we do for you?” Said Ran and Shaw together as they came to a stop before Mesa's feet.
”It's good to be back. But as you can see, I have a sword stuck here through my chest. And the one who did it was this little shit I have here with me. So I came here wondering, whether any of you were hungry for a little night snack!” Said Mesa.
”NO! YOU CAN'T DO THIS! IF I DISAPPEAR, EVERYONE WILL SEARCH FOR ME AND YOU'LL BRING TROUBLE FOR THE PRINCESS WITH THE MIGHTY HEAVENLY SWORD VILLA! YOU CAN'T KILL ME!” Said Fen Bufan, in the hopes of saving his life. In response to that, Mesa summons a shadow clone, that looks just like Fen Bufan.
”Way ahead of you! I will let this guy return with me and tomorrow he'll say: 'I changed my mind. I will go back to the Blue Wind Imperial City.' And after 'you' have walked right out of the front gates of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Villa, nobody will give a shit what happens to you. This clone will dissipate and no one will ever hear anything about you, ever again. Have fun turning into dragon shit.” Said Mesa as he watched on as Ran and Shaw closed in on Fen Bufan with open maws as Fen Bufan screamed in terror as he watched his death close in on him. As they were devouring him, Jasmine came out of the Sky Poison Pearl.
”I reckon you saw what happened earlier.” Said Mesa to Jasmine as he watched the dragons devour Fen Bufan.
