Chapter 2090: To Strike Quickly

Hearing Yue Feng, Zhao Hai couldnt help but smile faintly as he said, Elder, as you know, Im a Dark Mage back in the lower realms. Poison is one of the fields we Dark Mages specialize in. This includes corpse poison. I noticed that corpse poison might be cured by an antidote that I have. I was hoping that it would work. I didnt think that its extremely effective.

Hearing Zhao Hai, Elder Yue Fengs eyes couldnt help but s.h.i.+ne. However, he didnt immediately ask Zhao Hai to hand the antidote over. Instead, he looked at Li Fei and said, How long until Li Fei wakes up?

Zhao Hai thought and said, He should be up in about an hour. Hell be fully restored in a day. Naturally, the wound on his shoulder would still need to be healed.

Yue Feng nodded, Alright, Ill leave two people behind to watch over Li Fei. As for the rest, they can go watch the compet.i.tion. Those around them immediately complied and then left the residence.

The group returned to Topfire Mountain. By this point, the fifth round of the compet.i.tion was finished. The sixth round was about to begin. Fortunately, Zhao Hais name has yet to be drawn.

But just as Zhao Hai arrived at the venue, his name was called. This time, his opponent wasnt an acquaintance. Nevertheless, they werent easy to deal with. Zhao Hais enemy this time was one of the stars of the compet.i.tion, Top Purity Sects Chen Rufeng.

Top Purity Sect was one of the Great Sects in the Righteous Faction. Its relations.h.i.+p with the Tyrant Blade Sect could be said to be ordinary. However, the Tyrant Blade Sect has a particularly good relations.h.i.+p with the Purity Origin Sect which had a complicated relations.h.i.+p with the Top Purity Sect. Therefore, at the very least, the two sects didnt have any conflicts of interest.

Zhao Hai looked across the stage at his opponent. Chen Rufeng wore a scholars attire while carrying a sword on his back. The sword was unadorned, it looked ordinary.

Chen Rufeng was also an unremarkable individual. He wasnt charming, but he had a temperament that wasnt unpleasant to be with.

His face didnt show any arrogance, but one couldnt help but lower their head when facing him. He had a temperate smile on his face and his eyes were as gentle as still water.

At the same time, Chen Rufeng was looking at Zhao Hai with surprise. This was because Zhao Hais temperament was the same as him. Although Zhao Hai was wearing warrior clothing, he didnt give off a rude feeling. On the contrary, Zhao Hais aura was heroic. Zhao Hai also had a gentle smile on his face that made people feel good.

It can be said that although the two had slightly different temperaments, both gave favorable impressions to everyone around them.

Seeing these two people on the stage, those watching their fight couldnt help but stare. Now that they were faced against each other, their temperament made them special.

Zhao Hai opened his mouth first. He cupped his fist as he smiled and said, Tyrant Blade Sects Zhao Hai has seen Senior Brother Chen. Ive seen Senior Brothers previous battles. To be honest, youre one of the few people I dont want to face. Unfortunately, we drew each other. I can only ask Senior Brother to show mercy.

Chen Rufeng also cupped his fist as he said, Junior Zhao Hai is too polite. I also saw your battles. I admire your blade techniques. Ill be the one asking Junior Brother for mercy.

Zhao Hai chuckled and said, We shouldnt be too polite to each other here. Otherwise, everyone will scold us. Senior Brother Chen, please. After saying that, Zhao Hai pulled out his own blade and pointed it at Chen Rufeng.

Chen Rufeng also smiled as he pulled his own sword out. As soon as Chen Rufeng held his sword, Zhao Hai immediately felt something change. Chen Rufengs sword was like autumn water but gave the feeling of being sharp and collected. It was a good sword.

Zhao Hais eyes slightly narrowed, then he waved his blade and rushed towards Chen Rufeng.

The smile on Chen Rufengs face also disappeared as he concentrated on Zhao Hai. Seeing this display, the cultivators below the arena exclaimed. This was because in Zhao Hais previous fights, he had never attacked like this. At the same time, Chen Rufeng always had a smile on his face during his previous battles, and yet his smile disappeared. When they saw this, everyone understood that the two werent using their full strength before. Now, they were beginning to treat their battle seriously.

Once the two fought against each other, the people in the audience couldnt help but be surprised. This was because the two had truly placed their full strength into display. Chen Rufengs sword technique was quick and rapid. The moment he waved his sword, one could only see the sheen left behind. Many people in the audience were unable to see the sword.

On the other hand, once Zhao Hais blade was unleashed, the blade completely disappeared. The only thing that remained was a golden light. The golden light hid the form of the blade due to its intensity.

It can be said that the battle was the most spectacular fight in the compet.i.tion yet. The two sides strove for more and more speed. As they sped up, the stage was beginning to be flooded with sword and blade light. The sound of weapons clas.h.i.+ng became akin to raindrops.

Astonis.h.i.+ng! The speed achieved by the two combatants was too astonis.h.i.+ng. Most importantly, the two were boasting their endurance. The audience thought that the battle would end quickly. However, the fight went on for ten minutes without a clear winner being seen.

Everyone felt breathless as they spectated the battle. The fight was too intense. n.o.body had time to breathe.

All of a sudden, the audience felt that their brains had shut down. The golden light on the stage disappeared as Zhao Hais hand seemed to slow down. His blade moved as though it had the weight of a mountain.

Seeing Zhao Hais blade, everyone was stunned at the contrast between extreme speed and extreme slowness. But it was Zhao Hais opponent who was most affected by this.

Chen Rufeng could feel that although Zhao Hais blade was slow, it actually blocked all of his offensive routes. He had the feeling that he couldnt evade. Most importantly, Zhao Hais blade carried a momentum that could crush him!

Chen Rufeng was stuck about what to do. The sword in his hand also slowed down. The experts in the audience saw this and couldnt help but sigh. They knew that Chen Rufeng had lost. He had fallen to Zhao Hais rhythm and would be led by his nose. In this situation, he could no longer defeat Zhao Hai.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Rufeng slowed down, he began to be disadvantaged. In just five strokes, Zhao Hais blade broke through Chen Rufengs defenses, winning him the fight.

Chen Rufeng returned to his calm demeanor. Although he was disappointed by his loss, he wasnt bitter about it. He received his sword and cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai, Junior Brother Zhaos methods are truly terrifying. I am inferior. I hope we can share notes once more in the future.

Zhao Hai also received his blade. He smiled towards Chen Rufeng and said, To be honest, I was having a tough time dealing with Senior Brothers fast sword. If it werent for my trick at the end, I wouldnt have won this soon.

Chen Rufeng replied, Junior Brother doesnt have to put gold on my face. My master once told me that I need to take control over my fast sword, otherwise I would suffer. Now I understand. Junior Brother, lets share a cup of wine when we meet again. Then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai once more before leaving the stage.

Looking at Chen Rufengs appearance, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and left the stage. The battle has ended. But this battle also allowed people to understand Zhao Hais talent and strength. Chen Rufeng was famous in the True Spirit Realm. His fame was even bigger than Zhao Hai. But in the end, he was defeated by Zhao Hais blade.

Although the True Spirit Realm knew that Zhao Hai fought against a Teleportation Stage expert on his own, those who were present saw that Zhao Hai had a small advantage in terms of artifacts and beasts. In fact, Zhao Hai didnt fight Lu Shen head on. Moreover, with the fact that Zhao Hai was an ascender, people merely thought that he had plenty of aces in his hand. They thought that his personal strength wasnt much.

This changed after the battle with Chen Rufeng. Being a genius from the Top Purity Sect, it can be said that he was one of the peak experts of his generation in the True Spirit Realm. According to the estimates of various powers, even if Chen Rufeng werent the top expert, he could be placed in the top one hundred. This meant that Chen Rufengs strength was recognized by all the major sects.

By this time, n.o.body suspected Zhao Hais strength. Zhao Hai defeated Chen Rufengs sword using his own blade in front of everyone. If there were people who still doubted Zhao Hais strength, then they were blind.

The battle between Zhao Hai and Chen Rufeng attracted the most attention of all arenas. When their battle was over, the other battles were also done. This meant that the next round began immediately. This gave Zhao Hai no time to take a rest.

Zhao Hais opponent in the next round was interesting. It was no other than Hu Jilong. Everyone knows that Hu Jilong defeated Li Fei with his throwing knife. They also know that Hu Jilong used poison on his knife. So as soon as they saw Hu Jilong on the stage, they couldnt help but boo. This was rare. Cultivators actually booed a person like a mortal. Naturally, Hu Jilongs face was ugly upon hearing this reaction.

Zhao Hai looked at Hu Jilong who was on the stage. To be honest, he has no dislike towards Hu Jilong. He felt that Hu Jilong was arrogant, but Zhao Hai was already used to such characters. Hu Jilongs provocations couldnt even raise his brows.

The reason he bickered with Hu Jilong in the past was completely for Li Fei and the others to see. The Tyrant Blade Sect had always been domineering. If Zhao Hai doesnt reinforce this ideal, then Li Fei and the others wouldnt listen to him. But in reality, Zhao Hai doesnt care much about Hu Jilong. He also saw Hu Jilong fight before. Although Hu Jilong was strong, he was still far from being Zhao Hais opponent.

However, Zhao Hai was still a bit dissatisfied with Hu Jilong. This was because Hu Jilong was too proud for his own good, to the point of arrogance. If it werent for him being arrogant, n.o.body would have been convinced that he almost killed Li Fei with the poison he used on the throwing knife. For such a person, Zhao Hai had a faint sense of disgust.

Hu Jilong wasnt conscious of this. He looked at Zhao Hai with hatred. It was as if Zhao Hai was the reason he was being booed on the stage. Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldnt help but be speechless. He couldnt understand how such a person was able to cultivate to his current level. It was rare for such a brainless person to reach a high level.

Zhao Hai looked at Hu Jilong and said, You attacked Li Fei with a knife, Ill return it to you twice. However, I wont take your life. Not today anyway.

Hearing Zhao Hai, Hu Jilong coldly snorted and said, You want to deal with me with a throwing knife? Hahaha. Too funny. Lets see how you use throwing knives to defeat me. Im standing here. Come.

Zhao Hai couldnt help but laugh, Alright, just stand there. Lets see if I can hit you. After saying that, Zhao Hai waved his hand. Then a shelf appeared beside him. The audience couldnt help but rub their eyes when they saw this. They couldnt understand what happened. How could someone take out a shelf during a battle? Moreover, what was inside those shelves. Are those throwing knives? If it was throwing knives, how many are there? A thousand, ten thousand? Was this a circus show, or a battle?

There was no mistake, Zhao Hai took out a shelf that was densely packed with throwing knives. n.o.body could count how many there were. People couldnt understand what happened, but Hu Jilong did. His face became completely dark.
