160 Borrowed Knife (2/2)

So instead he could only turn down the ferociousness with which his puppet fought. The command that Xue Wei gave was to fight back, but only enough to injure the opposing party, not enough to injure them badly enough to forfeit.

The expert was completely mind controlled. Even if it cost him his life, he would do what he had been told to do, and he stopped fighting back ferociously and instead it looked like a friendly spar.

Xue Wei looked troubled, but many were of the impression that he was troubled because the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member no longer seemed to hold the overwhelming upper hand.

”What is he doing?” The leader of the Crimson Sunshine Sect's group asked with a very chilling voice.

”He is tarnishing our Crimson Sunshine Sect's face! This is simply unacceptable. He is helping the enemy. Before, it could be accepted because he was dominating the others, but right now it seems as if he is about to be swallowed up whole by the other three experts.”

”This is simply a disgrace!” The leader was anything but happy. During the battle, he had heard the more minute details about the episode they had encountered before, and he was livid.

He knew who was at fault, and he also knew that their Crimson Sunshine Sect loathed those who used their strength to bully the weak, yet this was exactly what their members had done.

Xue Wei looked around, and then he canceled Mind Infestation on the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member and targeted another expert, one of the two who were in the middle of a fight.

He did not make any fancy orders when his mind-control target changed, but he instantly shattered the man's soul, and switched Mind Infestation back to take control of the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member again.

Everything had happened so fast that no one knew what exactly had happened.

It seemed as if the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member's face suddenly turned extremely ugly - the first sign of emotion his face had shown since entering the stage - and then it had turned tranquil again.

At the same time, someone had collapsed on the stage. This person was without a doubt dead, but no one was more surprised than the expert that was fighting him.

This expert knew that although he had injured his enemy quite a few times, none of these wounds were lethal, yet he had dropped dead just like that. It was simply impossible to understand.

However, he was still an expert of the third layer of the Sky Warrior rank with plenty of combat experience, so he instantly turned to the other enemies that were present in the arena.

His eyes widened in surprise when he saw Xue Wei standing casually behind the Crimson Sunshine Sect's disciple, his arms crossed over his chest, and his gaze pondering.

The Crimson Sunshine Sect disciple's battle was much more intense. He was giving his all, and although he did not hold the upper hand, he was not losing either, the two sides slowly grinding each other down.

Seeing this, a cold chill ran down the spine of the expert. The only one who could have done something against the opponent he was just fighting earlier was this casually standing Xue Wei.

”The biggest issue here is not the member of the Crimson Sunshine Sect, but the one who can make such a person work for him!” was the conclusion the expert reached.

After reaching this conclusion, an eagerness to do battle appeared in his eyes. He rushed at Xue Wei, who casually lifted his head and smirked when he saw the person coming at him.

Then a figure suddenly appeared and blocked his path, slashing out with a sword followed by a fist.

Two martial arts were being used simultaneously, and the expert was blocked in his path. In front of him was the expert from the Crimson Sunshine Sect.

He was doing everything in his power to get past him, but one attack after another rained down on his body.

It was clear that the expert from the Crimson Sunshine Sect was taking heavy damage from the other experts that did not hesitate to fight him when his attention was elsewhere, but he moved as if he felt no pain and as if he was a machine.

Blood flowed from his back and sides, dying the golden embroideries and the fabric of his robes a deep shade of red.

But no matter how many injuries he gained, he continued to fight back with relentless fierceness. This was what one would expect from a life-and-death battle, and this was exactly what Xue Wei had waited for.

The four experts were now engaged in a battle of attrition that seemed to have no end.

The battle became more and more bloody. The amount of injuries kept growing, and eventually two more gave up, leaving two experts battling with their all.

”I will bet my all on this strike!” the last opponent yelled out and rushed at the disciple of the Crimson Sunshine Sect with his sword at the ready above his head. His eyes were blazing red.

He was using an arcane ability to raise his strength forcefully. Seeing this, Xue Wei's eyes lit up, and a small smile played on his lips. This was the ideal way to get rid of the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member without killing him himself.

Moments after, the two collided, but the Yang Energy Blast that the Crimson Sunshine Sect's member had used was all flashy and no substance.

His Qi was shattered and quickly swallowed up by the wave of energy that came crashing in from the opponent, wrecking the entire body of the Crimson Sunshine Sect's expert.

Xue Wei snickered as he shattered the soul of the expert. He did not want to risk him barely surviving.

Qi had shrouded everyone's vision, so no one saw the expression on Xue Wei's face. And it was only when the dust and leftover Qi started to dissipate that one could see the lifeless and bloodied body on the ground.
