Chapter 226 Hesitant
Liu Feng looked up to see what was covering the sun itself, and he understood what Long Xian meant by reinforcements.
In the sky, five huge blots covering the sun itself looked down threateningly.
These were five dragons, coincidentally the number of elders that Li Tian had brought here.
"Haha! You might be able to hold your ground against me, Li Tian, but will your elders be able to hold even a candle to my men? I also want to see your face when this fight will come to an end." Long Xian laughed.
Tap!
Tap!
Liu Feng heard the sound of a wooden cane hitting the ground. He glanced at the source of the sound. It was coming from one of the elders.
He recognized the first, third and fourth elders, but two of these elders were people he had never seen before. Not even during that competition.
And one of those elders was tapping a wooden stick on the ground. Looking at his closed eyes, a terrible thought occurred to Liu Feng.
"Could it be? He is actually blind? No, there is no way that he is blind. A fighter, a cultivator would not survive if he was blind, was he?" Liu Feng shook that thought, but deep inside, he just knew.
The old man who had his eyes closed looked up at the sky.
"So much noise they make. I wonder why the emperor tolerates this stupid fight in these lands anymore." the old man sighed and he raised his cane to the sky.
A thin light appeared from the cane. It was as thin as a string from a zither, as if it was taken from one. The light extended all the way to one of the dragons.
Liu Feng could see clearly what was happening even though he was much below the dragons. He could see that the thin light approached the leg of one of the dragons, and before the dragon could resist, the old man yanked on it.
Blast!
In a mere second, a dragon the size of an elephant landed on the arena, caving in the entire floor.
Looking closely now, Liu Feng noticed that these dragons did not seem like dragons. They had a few similarities to Flood dragons, and yet they didn't.
They weren't actual dragons, but rather other beasts with the blood of a dragon within them.
The dragon on the arena groaned with pain, and started decreasing in size. Soon enough, it changed to the appearance of a normal woman, all battered up.
"No pity for a woman even. To think that you would become so heartless, brother." the other old man that Liu Feng did not recognize laughed. He seemed to have a perfect vision, and he jumped this time.
He went all the way up and landed on one of the dragons.
Roaring, the four dragons in the sky started lounging at this one man, but it was too late. With one simple kick of his leg, the dragon that he landed on fell straight to the ground, right on top of the woman who used to be one of these dragons.
"So these are the reinforcements that you brought, outsider? You really look down upon these normal lands, but do not forget. While you claim to be the Ancient Lands, all that the lands are is a barrier that was made to stop one place from communicating with another.
Even though we have fewer resources here, and are cursed to never cross the Soul Evolution realm, do not worry. You people are cursed to that standard here as well." the old man who was blind looked at Long Xian.
"Goddamn it. You want to fight? We will fight. We will fight to the death. I will make sure that all of you learn what a family of the ancient realms is capable of." Long Xian grit his teeth as he dashed forward towards Li Tian.
Clang!
His scythe and Li Tian's Heavenly Punishment collided. Immediately, a wave swept everyone standing away. The alchemists especially so. They were taken to the edge of the arena, while Liu Feng was blown to the exact opposite end.
Meanwhile, the main fighters stood absolutely still, unfazed by this attack.
"I thought that the Xiantian stage was strong. But even in the Xiantian stage, there are too many distinctions. Each layer is clearly much, much stronger than the rest." Liu Feng thought to himself as he dusted himself off and stood tall.
Then, he stood cross-legged.
This wasn't his fight to participate in. But he did have one mission that he had to complete, and that was to survive.
He took a few pills and chewed them. But these weren't enough. Not nearly enough. In the Xiantian realm, none of the pills that Liu Feng had many any impact. They just didn't give him enough Qi.
So he took out something that he didn't expect to use so soon. He started sucking the Qi out of a low level spirit stone that he had a couple thousand of.
The Qi in the spirit stone was not a lot, but it was enough for his body to use to heal all of the injuries that he did have left.
Slowly, he started going through Low level spirit stones. Inside his body, the soul started shining bright. As it was the dantian, all the Qi went in that. The soul form absorbed all this Qi, and started becoming golden in color.
"There are far too many mysteries of the Xiantian realm that I have yet to uncover." Liu Feng made a note to himself.
Meanwhile, he still had to defend himself a little from the repercussions of the fight between Li Tian and Long Xian.
He was not as pitiful as he was a few months ago when Li Tian fought with the second elder. But still, this fight was way beyond his league, and clearly had something to do with the Soul Evolution Stage.
