Chapter 211 - Dueling beast (2/2)
”Scram before I throw you on the arena to sate the hunger of the beast that will soon appear there.”
Focusing on the duel that was going on the stage, I simply waved him away. Compared to the first day of fights, current challenges were far more interesting, with the competitors reaching the development core level. While I could say with just a single look that they held back their strength as far as they could, it was still far greater show than the fights between mortal level cultivators!
”Oh, you dare to threaten me? Are you looking for a beating?”
Unable to comprehend my lack of interest in his actions, he actually managed to send a punch my way! While I sensed it before it reached the distance that could allow him to connect it, I didn't do anything to stop it. Allowing it to smash against my shield, I instantly pulled out my energetical sword, turned around on the spot and placed the vibrating edge just a millimetre away from the skin of his neck.
”I can kill you before your so-called bodyguards would be able to even reach me, not to speak about saving you. I will spare your life out of consideration for the Dracon's sect, otherwise getting rid of such a small fry like you would allow them to call my duel with my beloved cousin down. But that doesn't mean I can't properly teach you a lesson. Scram!”
Repeating the trick that I used back in the city hall, I infused my voice with the strength of spirit attainment cultivator, a single-stage higher than Baxhar currently was at. Unable to fight back against the pressure that I pushed him away with, he couldn't help but pace a few steps backwards, before pointing his hand at me.
”He made the first move! Kill him!”
This guy had the talent to face slap himself. Before his guardians managed to make their move, I simply looked at them with ridicule in my eyes. While forcing mortal enlightenment level cultivator back wasn't something hard for a spiritual cultivator like me or them, doing so with just a few words, were still far away from their level of capabilities. Seeing how they didn't move a finger despite Baxhar's shout, I understood that they actually had some brains.
Turning back to the arena, I shoved my sword back to the storage ring, as to not attract even more attention. It was obvious that every single move of mine was observed by someone from both the city hall and the Katenari clan, not to speak about Heavenly Sword faction. No matter how much I would love to just cut him down, I couldn't give them any reason to step up right after the court trial concluded!
”Welcome the new challenger, Eve Katenari! While her earlier duels got postponed due to her recent advancements, we are bringing you a great show this time! She will face a mighty demonic beast of the expanding senses level! For those who want to bet, don't hesitate to do so!”
With the loud cheer from the spectators, Eve entered the arena and waved at the crowd. Ignoring the fuming Baxhar, I focused all my attention at the side gate, where the monster would come from. Just as my anxiety reached it's maximum, I suddenly lost my mind.
Seeing the monster being pulled out in the cage to the arena, Eve couldn't help but scream with joy!
”PENGU!”
