I alone am the Honoured One!

560  A small dispute [5]

Zhao Tian raised his gaze to look at Lei Feng, who was visibly trembling after witnessing Wei Liang's merciless end.

Fear gripped Lei Feng's heart as he took a step back, his eyes darting around the arena, searching for a way out. Then, in an instant, Lei Feng made his decision.

Panic overtook him as he turned, and his body blurred as he shot into the air, soaring high above the arena in a desperate bid to flee. Hm? Zhao Tian's gaze condensed and he quickly dashed into the air, following him.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck," Lei Feng muttered under his breath, his voice trembling.

His heart pounded as he pushed himself to his limits, the wind whipping against his face. The disciples who were watching also raised their gaze to look at the sky.

"I will just escape from here-" *flick*

With a blur in space, Zhao Tian appeared in front of Lei Feng and kicked Lei Feng right in the face.

*baam* His foot crushed his face and the sheer force of the kick sent him hurtling back toward the ground like a meteor.

*THOOOM* Lei Feng's body slammed into the arena floor, creating a crater upon impact.

Dust and debris exploded into the air, obscuring the sight of his broken body.

"URGHHH!" As his back crashed into the floor, Lei Feng felt his spine break and a guttural cry escaped his lips.

"URGHHH!! ARGHHH UFFFF!" His hands trembled as he weakly tried to push himself off the ground, his arms barely holding his weight. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, his face bruised and battered from the force of Zhao Tian's kick.

His vision blurred with tears of pain and panic, yet he couldn't stop his trembling hands from futilely pushing against the ground.

But as he tried to move, he felt his spine crackling and his eyes trembled in terrific pain "Urghhhhhhh!"

*flick* Zhao Tian appeared in the arena and Lei Feng raised his quivering eyes to look at him, his silhouette glowing against the morning sun.

"Urgh… no… please…" Lei Feng coughed, pitifully whimpering.

*THUD*

 Zhao Tian's foot slammed down onto Lei Feng's outstretched hand, the sickening crunch of bones shattering filling the air. "ARGHHHHHH!" Lei Feng screamed, his body writhing in agony as Zhao Tian ground his foot against his crushed hand. The crowd watched in horrified silence, unable to tear their eyes away from the brutal spectacle. Zhao Tian lifted his foot, allowing Lei Feng a moment to cradle his mangled hand.

*baam* Zhao Tian's kick landed squarely on Lei Feng's face, the force sending a shockwave through the arena.

"Graagh!" Lei Feng's head snapped back, blood spraying from his nose and mouth as his body spasmed violently.

Zhao Tian didn't stop as his leg rose and fell repeatedly, each blow landing with bone-crushing force.

CRACK.

THUD.

BAM.

The audience flinched with every crash, some turning away, unable to bear the sheer savagery of the scene. "urghh..." Lei Feng's cries grew weaker with each strike until they were little more than wet, gurgling sounds.

*plash* *puchi* Blood splattered across the ground, staining Zhao Tian's clothes and the surrounding debris.

Finally, Zhao Tian tossed Lei Feng's limp body to the ground like discarded trash.

 Lei Feng gasped weakly, his chest heaving as he struggled to draw his breath.

His body twitched uncontrollably, his mind barely clinging to consciousness.

Zhao Tian stood there waiting for Lei Feng to take his last breath.

Under the bloody mess, Lei Feng's chest heaved up to take one last breath before his eyes went lifeless looking at the skies.

*THONG* The sound of the going echoed through the arena, indicating the end of the match.

"Zhao Tian wins."

Dayoung had a faint smile on his lips 'Elder Eldric Grey had spotted a good seed, Zhao Tian.'

"Zhao Tian?"

"That was his name?"

"Ohh..."

The disciples who heard Dayoung's voice began to whisper to each other.

...

Yao Jing, who was watching the whole fight, had a proud smirk on her face "Don't doubt my disciple ever again."

"I am really surprised," Velnorham muttered, her eyes narrowing in amusement.

"I didn't expect it would be a one-sided match like this... I expected him to struggle so I could intervene at the right time and save him like a hero."

"Guess my plan was foiled." She uttered with a sad sigh.

Yao Jing's lips twitched in exasperation "You were trying to get brownie points amidst the commotion?"

Velnorah just smiled "Of course, he is going to be under my wing after all.. hehe."

"Dream on."

...

Zhao Tian quickly left the arena to go back to his room 'I need to clean myself and the blood stains from my body.'

Li Jia who knew he would go to his room next, quickly followed him out of the arena and rushed to the dormitories.

The corridors were quieter than usual, most disciples still buzzing around the arena.

As she rushed to the corridor, she saw Zhao Tian entering his room and called him "Tian!"

He paused mid-step, his hand on the doorframe, before turning to face her and a small smile touched his lips "Jia."

She reached him and grasped his shoulders, her eyes moistening with tears "You bastard.. you scared me there."

With a soft chuckle, he raised his hand caressing her cheek "I told you... I can handle it."

His fingers brushed the bloody bruise on her cheek and she winched slightly in pain.

"Let's go inside and I will heal you."

*tap* At this time, two figures stepped into the corridor from the air.

E-Eh?

Li Jia was startled by the arrival of the two gorgeous women, and her gaze flickered to the black token hanging on their waist.

'S-Sect Elders?'

Yao Jing stepped forward and rustled his hair "You fought very well, Tian'er."

With a deductive smile, Velnorah leaned forward, bringing her lips close to his ear "Seems like you will be busy for a while."

"Come and meet me at my private quarters later... we can train to make some babies."

With that, she dashed from there like ablur.

Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh "I am surprised she didn't get mad considering the disciples I killed are from her wing."

Yao Jing's eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms "Well, she did say that she doesn't care about those disciples. But you, Tian..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

She tilted her head looking at him suspiciously "She seems very close to you. Don't tell me, are you cheating on me with another Master?"

-_-

Eh?
