Chapter 770: Enemies Crossing Paths.
Shi Lang stood tall at the pillar, and so did the others. Tian Long announced that the fights would continue, but no people moved. The crowd did not clamor at this time as if they had sensed the tension among the contenders. Shi Lang and his friends amounted to seven people out of nineteen.
They couldn't fight to death for fame, plus Shi Lang was not someone they could beat, so they did not even think about it. The other twelve people began to challenge the people they thought they could win. One guy with a chiseled body said, "I would like to challenge you."
Everyone saw his finger pointed at Amelia. The person who challenged her was a burly young man. This guy wore brawler gloves. Shi Lang noticed that this guy was projecting some hatred toward Amelia. He frowned and wanted to ask the person's identity when Amelia said, "It seems that the Titan Sect is adamant on this path of destruction."
The young man replied, "We shall see who will be destroyed in this clash then. Are you ready?"
Amelia chuckled and took out her long sword. She said, "Come at me."
The young man jumped from his pillar and hopped through the other pillars before reaching Amelia. The top of the pillars was thirty meters wide. They all were placed in a circular position and served as skipping stones.
The young man stood before Amelia and clasped his fist, "Dawn Everest greets Sect Mistress Amelia."
Amelia raised her brow and remarked, "Your people from the Titan sect surely are filled with a skill for dramatizing things. When your sect master barged in my place, did he greet any of us? He issued a threat to kill all the maidens from my sect that his disciples came across.
Then there is you, clasping your hands and greeting me like a gent. After I have killed how many seventeen of your brothers because you dared to touch one of my sisters, you guys are unique."
Her words sent waves through the crowd. Everyone wanted to know what was happening, and quickly, the people who were aware began spreading the word. The viewer's pavilions were no less than fields of dry grass. News of conflict spread around faster than dry grass catching fire.
The young man heard the murmurs and furrowed his brow. He asked, "Do you intend to insult me and my sect, Sect Mistress Amelia?"
Amelia shook her head and said, "I have no such intention. Please make your move and get on with it."
Dawn Everest found her very arrogant, and he hated it when someone acted arrogant before him for no apparent reason. The young man charged at Amelia quickly with his fists covered with metallic gauntlets.
Amelia smiled and intercepted the incoming attack with a parry. She glided to the side quickly and tackled the followed-up kick by Dawn Everest. The young man kept coming at him and was ferocious in his attacks. The frustration on his face was evident, and gradually, it was all changing into rage.
Shi Tao asked Shi Lang with spiritual communication, "What do you think will happen?"
The Terran smiled and asked, "Worrying about her?"
Shi Tao nodded and replied, "All the experience I have of this world is seclusion and gathering a few like-minded people to fight against the Demon beasts that terrorize the masses. I have only climbed the realm because of my special physique."
Shi Lang nodded and replied, "That was to be expected of you. Do not worry. The people here are not different from us. Sometimes, I even find them less intelligent."
Shi Tao chuckled and replied, "Baba, you have grown condescending."
The Terran chuckled in return and replied, "Brat, I will have you train properly after this ends. Just wait."
Amelia danced on the pillar with her sword while the pair of father and daughter had a good time. The place was not cramped, and the thirty-meter diameter allowed her to dance and mesmerize the people.
However, Dawn Everest was not enjoying things. His rage was getting bigger and bigger with time, and his rage was turning into the intention to kill. Amelia's expression became calmer with time, and suddenly, she vanished from the sight of her enemy.
Shi Lang smiled and replied, "It evolved."
Shi Tao nodded and replied, "I cannot sense her."
As the woman vanished, Dawn was flustered, but he sensed her behind his back the next moment. Amelia spoke, "Butterfly blade stinging the window."
Her sword tip flickered, and it moved at a blinding speed. Dawn Everest was attacked with stabs, and all these stabs were aimed at his vital body parts. The young man moved quickly and avoided as many attacks as he possibly could, but even then, he was stabbed in his right shoulder.
Amelia and Dawn Everest both opened up a distance between themselves, and they both frowned. While Amelia disliked that she could not land more than one attack, Dawn frowned because he could not harm the lady despite his efforts.
Amelia sighed and said, "It is about time I finish the battle. It has been a good while."
Dawn Everest took a deep breath and roared, "It is not over until I say so."
Amelia waved her hand and provoked him to come over. Dawn Everest bellowed, "Stellar Fists."
The void began to glitter, and all the shiny dust-like substance began to wrap around his fist. Someone from the crowd exclaimed, "That is the strongest fist technique of the Titan Sect. It is said that once mastered, an Immortal King can destroy mountains a thousand kilometers away with just a punch. It is like a star falling from the sky."
Dawn Everest quickly moved and punched at Amelia. The lady held her sword before her and said, "Spring shield."
She flicked her wrist, and her sword intent condensed into a curtain of cherry blossom leaves. The leaves moved to form an umbrella above Amelia that stopped the blow from falling over her head.
The stellar fist condensed a fist as big as a mountain above her and fell down the sky to kill Amelia. The blow connected with the flower shield. Fragility versus bruteness, the contrast of the two energies, left people speechless. They had no idea how Amelia was going to survive.
However, the next moment, the mountainous fist stopped advancing. It was as if the first imprint had landed in a mud swamp. The ground was shaking, and so was the rest of the arena. The impact of this one attack was far stronger than any other battle.
The next moment, Amelia took a deep breath and said, "My turn."
The fist was still hovering above her, but Amelia just took hold of her sword and vanished from her spot. The next moment, she appeared behind Dawn Everest and said, "Silent slash in the night."
The next moment, her blade flickered, and Dawn Everest froze. Amelia said, "Once upon a time, in the lower realm, there was a mountain called Everest, but when the heavens decided to destroy it, it could not withstand it. You are like that mountain, portraying your elegance and strength, but in reality, you are just a dune of hardened sand and rock.
Dawn Everest fell, and Tian Long said, "Amelia won the battle."
The young man from the Titan sect lost consciousness after falling to the ground. Shi Lang gazed at his daughter and raised his brows as if showing off to her. Shi Tao rolled her eyes at him.
Tian Long said, "Okay, so now the Sovereigns from the martial council are all present and will join the commentary. I apologize. Some of these old people have grown obsolete and take their sweet time moving through the void."
The people chuckled, and a feminine voice sounded, "Boy, are you calling me old?"
A mature lady appeared beside Tian Long. She was wearing a green satin hanfu, and despite the signs of age, she looked beautiful enough to make men go crazy.
Tian Long replied, "Greetings, Senior Meimei, but you call a thousand-year-old person like me a boy. Do you still think they will not discover you are getting old?"
Then he ignored the glares from the old lady and said, "This personage among us is the reputed and renowned Sovereign Amythest. Another senior, Sovereign Mandala, will join her."
Next to Tian Long appeared a man dressed in a cassock. The person had a calm expression, and a gem was embedded in his forehead. Sovereign Mandala replied, "Greetings, patrons."
Tian Long replied, "Now, for the next battle, who will come forth?"
A young man took a deep breath and said, "Senior, I wish to challenge him."
The guy had pointed at Bo Qingtan. The sword cultivator stood up from his meditation and said, "Finally, someone decided to challenge me."
Tian Long chuckled and said, "Go on then. I am sure everyone else is anticipating an exciting battle."
The crowd cheered as the challenger moved through the pillars to meet Bo Qingtan.
