Chapter 353 Evil Eyes
Chapter 353 Evil Eyes
All the eyes of the disciples were fixated on this small squad.
All of them were the leading geniuses of the new generation in their peaks.
Out of all, the most famous other than Ezra were Zulfi Dimitrt and Xyr. The former was famous for duelling every famous gold belt disciple, even some diamond belt disciples tasted the flavour of defeat at his sword. As for the latter, Xyr was an anomaly himself, close-range fighting sorcerers are called dangerous and Xyr was one with dual martial spirits.
When these two people saw each other, the temperature rose. Killing intent rose within Zulfi Dimitry, Xyr felt the piercing gaze and released his spiritual energy.
"Have you guys forgotten my presence?" A thunderous voice resounded. Both Xyr and Zulfi flinched and quickly kneeled.
"I have sinned, Your Majesty. Please, punish me." Said Zulfi.
"Master, your servant is ready for any punishment," Xyr said.
The prince looked at both and gave a slight nod. "Stand up, do not create a weak image of yourself, not controlling your anger is a weakness. I know both of you are like water and oil, but none of you is allowed to kill the other. You'll get your chance to duel, have patience."
"As you command, your majesty."
"This servant understood, Master."
The prince smirked and moved. "Let's see our competitors in person."
…
The Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples were gathered on a giant mountain relatively close to the Diamond Mountains. At this time, Denise Tubble, Ajin Pardo and the gang had congregated at a certain location on the mountain peak.
Denise's gaze was slightly cold as she looked towards a mountain in the distance where Ezra and the rest were currently standing. She gritted her teeth when she saw the promising Zulfi Dimitry of her peak standing behind Ezra like a loyal knight.
"I've heard that many disciples have bet on Ezra." Ajin Pardo wore a faint smile beside her.
He too cast his gaze towards Ezra as he playfully said, "But that's fine, the higher their expectations, the greater their disappointment and anger when he falls."
"It is time for us to let this smooth sailing junior brother of ours encounter a setback, so that he won't become too arrogant and feel that there's no one with ability in the outer mountains of our Spirit Devouring Mountain."
Denise Tubble nodded, a surge of happiness flashing in her eyes. Looks like the bitter frustration and resentment she held in her heart for several months was finally going to be released.
"Junior brother Umor, we'll have to inconvenience you this time." Ajin smiled at a young man beside him, who seemed to always wear a warm smile on his face, making him look extremely friendly and approachable.
It was the first seat gold belt disciples of Blood Slaughterer Peak's master faction, Umor.
Umor wore his usual smile as he said, "I met senior brother Wilson Sallow last night."
"Senior brother Wilson Sallow?" Both Ajin Pardo and Denise Tubble jumped at the mention of this name. This was the second Chosen of their Blood Slaughterer Peak, the one who has the official ranking of 3rd strongest disciple in outer mountains.
Ajin hastily asked, "What did senior brother Wilson say?"
"He told me that youngsters these days are too proud, and should be taught a little lesson. He assures us that we can do whatever we want." Umor grinned.
Joy immediately surfaced in the eyes of Ajin and Denise. They never imagined that even senior brother Wilson would stand on their side. It seems that Ezra had really stuck out too much recently. They were unaware that Wilson had a grudge of his own.
With Wilson's words, there would no longer be any reservations in the hearts of the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples.
Ajin and Denise exchanged a look, and could not help but chuckle.
…
~CLANG CLANH~
The excitement in the vicinity of the Diamond Mountains grew more and more intense as time passed. The hot sun rose in the sky, hanging high above the land. It was at this moment that clanging suddenly began echoing across the place.
Soon after, every disciple felt a grand aura descend from the sky, accompanied by an indescribable pressure that caused the land to tremble.
Innumerable disciples raised their heads in reverence as they watched several glowing figures descend from the sky, ultimately landing on the highest mountain in the vicinity of the Diamond Mountains where several stone seats stood.
The glowing figures seated themselves as the light faded, revealing their appearances.
They were the mighty Peak Masters of 7 peaks of Spirit Devouring Mountain!
"Greetings peak masters!"
All the disciples and elders bowed as they cupped their fists together.
Master Antero faintly nodded with a smile. Soon after, his booming voice rang out.
"It is time. The disciples may enter the mountains!"
In the wake of his words, the entire place instantly erupted into noise.
The long-awaited diamond belt selection had finally begun.
The entire place seemed to explode when peak master Antero's booming voice sounded.
~SWISH SWISH~
Under the excited gazes of countless disciples, glowing figure after figure suddenly rose from the ground, flying past the grand winder rivers as they swarmed towards the misty mountain range.
All of the participating disciples had begun moving at this moment, creating a rather grand sight.
Ezra took in a deep breath as he watched this scene, feeling the blood in his body faintly beginning to boil under this atmosphere.
"Go get them senior/junior brother Ezra!"
Yelled his surrounding fellow disciples to boost his morale. The prince was going to represent their faction after all, and if he managed to win, it would also make them well-known in the sect.
Ezra nodded towards the crowd and smiled. His gaze then turned towards Elder Lo, as he sent a faint smile towards him, "Ella Abella made a bet with me, so you'd better not end up shaming me."
The corners of Ezra's mouth twitched as he helplessly shook his head. Without further ado, his foot pushed off the ground, sending his figure soaring into the air, transforming into a lightning silhouette that landed towards the misty mountain range. His 5 subordinates followed his back.
On another peak far away, Denise coldly watched Ezra fly into the mountain range as she let out an icy chuckle. In the next instant, her figure also shot forth.
Under the thunderous cheers all around, numerous disciples made their way into the arena.
After they were in, spiritual energy began to gather in the sky above, transforming into many mirrors. The numerous participants could be seen in the mirrors, allowing the disciples outside to spectate.
…
On a certain mountain peak, Ella Abella gazed at the mirrors, evidently searching for Ezra's figure.
Upon seeing this, the several girls crowding around her broke into grins and said, "Senior sister Ella, are you looking for Ezra again?"
"Aren't you a little too concerned about him?"
"What about other peak's disciples, can't you show them a little attention too?"
Ella coldly rolled her eyes in response to their teasing, ignoring these talkative girls as she continued her search.
At this moment, a group of males from Heavenly Fiend Peak disciples approached. A young man in blue robes was leading them, appearing quite handsome with his somewhat long and narrow eyes.
Around his waist was a diamond belt, clearly revealing his status.
Upon seeing him walk over, the eyes of the girls around Ella brightened as they called out, "Senior brother Lichrys!"
Lychris was clearly quite famous in the sect and was an elite even amongst the diamond belt disciples. In addition, everyone knew that he was currently interested in Ella Abella.
"Senior sister Ella." Lychris displayed a faint smile at them before looking towards Ella.
Ella swept a glance at him and nodded as she half-heartedly said, "Oh, it's junior brother Lychris."
Her gaze returned to the spiritual energy mirrors, only pausing a few moments later when she found that familiar figure, as a smile appeared on her pretty face.
Lychris followed her gaze as his eyes narrowed slightly. "Junior brother Ezra might be in quite a pickle. I'm afraid that it will be unlikely for him to be ranked amongst the top ten."
Ella didn't react but her tone turned a little cold as she said, "Isn't junior brother Lychris being a little too presumptuous."
Lychris merely chuckled. "From what I know, the first agenda of the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples led by Umor is to surround and eliminate Ezra. Does senior sister Ella believe that he has any chance against such a line-up?"
Ella's expression changed slightly. She was only aware that Denise would be targeting Ezra, and never expected that the Blood Slaughterer Peak's Umor would also be a part of this.
"Did Denise Tubble really command so much respect? Or… it's Wilson!?" She pondered.
Lychris's smile grew when he saw Ella's expression change. There was a mocking look in his eyes as he turned towards the figure in the mirror, as he seemed to sincerely say, "Junior brother Ezra Zephyr is too brash. He's clearly just a new disciple, and yet he seems to love shamelessly basking in the limelight.
It will be good for him to be taught a lesson now since our fellow disciples will not take things too far. Otherwise, if he offends someone outside the sect in the future, the price he pays then will be much, much worse."
Ella shot an icy look at him, anger erupted in her eyes.
"No, senior sister." A fellow disciple spoke.
Ella calmed down and decided to pay no attention to him as she walked away. The girl who stopped her came to Lychris and uttered. "You a diamond belt and she is a top ranker of Colleen Evil Peak, keep poking her that way and one day you'll die a miserable death and let me be clear… not even your uncle, who is an elder in Heavenly Fiend Peak can save your sorry ass that day."
Lychris's face turned red, he wanted to curse but couldn't.
