There was a rumor circulating around the populace about the genius ZI Shuang of the Boulder Sect.
It was said that, Zi Shuang had fallen for Yu Da-Xia's beauty when he first saw her years ago, although the rumors died down almost immediately as it appeared many still remembered it and seeing how ZI Shuang protected Yu Da-Xia against Wang Xue's attack the people in the city square was able to get the answer they wanted.
Zi Shuang had a very intent glare, his eyes were bloodshot from anger and his domineering spiritual energy continuously kept coming out his body ”Take one step further and I will fill you with holes.” He said to Wang Xue.
Checking Yu Da-Xia behind him ZI Shuang said in worry ”Miss Yu Da-Xia please get out of here, I will take care of him get proper treatment of your wounds for now.”
Plop!
Yu Da-Xia's knees had been shaking after realizing her mistake and losing what that strength have Yu Da-Xia fell down on her knees.
”Get out of here, I don't need your help Zi Shuang!” although she was still down on the ground, Yu Da-Xia still had her pride even when her fellow disciple came up to assist her she rejected their offer and stayed there as if she was showing she was prepared to face Wang Xue even in her current state.
Seeing her reaction Zi Shuang only smiled at her before turning his gaze to Wang Xue, he didn't let the beast in front of him moving to do a sneak attack.
The many young maidens in the square saw ZI Shuang's action and they themselves could not help but feel admiration for him, it also goes without saying for the men around the square.
”Zi Shuang you are so manly, protecting your woman like that from danger, you are so admirable! Kill that Wang Xue person for being too ruthless to a woman!”
”Miss Yu Da-Xia please take cover from that place that savage man may not stop until he gets you!”
Zi Shuang was treated with respect, Yu Da-Xia with kindness and thoughtfulness, but Wang Xue was treated with disgust and hate. Even the people who cheered for him earlier for being some kind of dark horse in the competition were badmouthing.
”Get out of there! You dirtied the name of the Jade Province competition if you continue to fight, you do not even have the right to stand there. Leave, leave, leave, get out of here…...”
A young girl yelled from the crowd, it was the diehard fan of Yu Da-Xia who scolded that middle-aged man earlier for having lustful thoughts about her idol. From her shouts, the people around her were all riled up and started to chant together with her.
”Leave, leave, leave, leave, get out of here. How dare you do that our goddess, Zi Shuang cut off his arms for us, and throw him out of the city.”
”That kind of punishment is too light for him, just kill him now. Leaving a scourge like that in our Jade Province will only create future troubles, cut his head off Zi Shuang!”
”Senior disciple Zi Shuang nice going, take the head of that man from his shoulders and throw it out for the wolves!”
It wasn't only the disciples who were shouting the disciples except for the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect both the Nine Flower Valley and the Boulder Sect were shouting on the top of their lungs, the disciple who got his spot taken by Wang Xue was the one shouting the loudest and the fiercest.
Wang Xue became the villain, however, even when he heard the countless shouts and insults around him his gaze didn't leave Yu Da-Xia and ZI Shuang hate and loathing at this level did not have any effect on him, he wouldn't even faze if all of the Jade Province people started badmouthing him at the same time.
His intention did not falter even when Zi Shuang stood in front of him, he wanted to make that woman learn her lesson. Although he may not kill her he wanted to at least take an arm or a leg from her, and this goes for Zi Shuang who got in his way.
”Stoooooooop!!!!!” A loud voice rang around the whole city square, Dongfang Qianyin's body was overflowing with spiritual energy, and the pressure he emitted was strong to the point that everybody around the 15 miles wide city square of the Cloud city all felt their hearts started to beat faster than before.
”How dare you people start a fight on your own on the Jade Province Competition fighting stage!? The fights that are only allowed in that stage is the competition rounds if you want to duke it out with each other wait for your turn! Wang Xue stand down!” Dongfang QIanyin shouted.
He didn't blame a specific person, he was a smart person. Although he could pin all the blame on Wang Xue at the time Qianyin didn't do it, because he didn't want to tarnish his reputation of being bias to anybody who wasn't affiliated to a sect.
Zi Shuang didn't lower his weapon and he also didn't took his eyes away from Wang Xue, his instincts told him that the moment he put away his Martial Spirits and ax Wang Xue would pounce at him and Yu Da-Xia without hesitation.
”Senior disciple Donfang please forgive me for doing this, but I don't think this guy plans on giving up his plans of taking out Miss Yu Da-Xia, I have a proposition please hear me out senior disciple Dongfang, my fellow Boulder Sect disciple, and disciple of the Nine Flower Valley who was able to reach the second round.” His voice was clear attracting the attention of the people around the city square.
”Please let me fight this young man right now, my heart is burning with rage for this man right now, a fellow contender of the competition I implore you to let the two of us right now!” ZI Shuang shouted.
The disciples of the three great sects and the audience around the city square were all surprised to hear ZI Shuang's proposal.
”Doesn't that mean this fight will decide the whole competition already!? That brat from the Red River State may be strong that he could even beat Yu Da-Xia so it would also mean his level of strength is the same for Wu Feng and Zi Shuang so like the two he would not have any match with the other disciples.”
A man from the audience said, other people also started thinking about what he had said and they also agreed to what he was saying. Wang Xue was strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the top contenders of the three great sect so he didn't have anyone equal to him remaining in the competition except for Zi Shuang.
”Even so do you even think the other disciples will agree to this? Making their way up to this point they won't be will—”
Before that man could even finish his words a loud voice suddenly sounded out around the city square.
”I will step down right now, but Zi Shuang you must let that trash know his place and give him the appropriate punishment of trying to hurt Sister Yu Da-Xia.”
The one who spoke out was the young girl from the Nine Flower Valley who took the fourth place on the Trial of the Heavens earlier, her eyes were full of hate when her gaze turn to Wang Xue who stood near Zi Shuang.
She was also one of the top running contenders in the competition, this girl saw Yu Da-Xia as a rival and seeing Yu Da-Xia being humiliated by Wang Xue earlier the flames of anger burned inside her heart.
”I also step down, and agrees to brother Zi Shuang's proposal!”
”I am also willing.”
From that young girl who belongs Nine Flower Valley, everyone also chose to back down and let Zi Shuang face Wang Xue to the fight. All of them had been affected by the wave of hate place on Wang Xue and now they were hoping to see him humiliated and hopefully even killed!
After a short, while everyone who still had the rights to fight in the competition all steps down one by one even the disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect all chose to step down because if they didn't they will be swept up the wave of hate.
Dongfang Qianyin was put in a deep contemplation but he didn't take long before raising his hands and announced ”The fight between Zi Shuang of the Boulder Sect and Wang Xue from the Red River State is about to begin, both contenders prepare yourself.”
”Zi Shuang of the Boulder Sect ready!”
His voice was loud and clear, he was pumped up with his blood boiling from anger and hate.
”Wang Xue of the River State ready.”
Wang Xue steadied his footing and started circulating his spiritual energy around his body the out. Drawing power from the Golden Pagoda, Wang Xue didn't waste time he drew his right fist backward then, unleashed a powerful punch aimed to Zi Shuang's face.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His punch actually created a booming sound due to the friction it created.
Clang! Boom!
