Free Web NovelChapter 2114: Chapter 2069: Shameless Old Dog
Chen Yang had long since reached Great Perfection in Gathering Spirit, stepping into Solidifying Pill was a matter of minutes, how could Li Tian be his match?
Chen Yang’s fierce punch was something Li Tian couldn’t possibly withstand.
Crack, crack...
When their fists collided again, a crisp sound of bone breaking rang out.
Immediately afterward, Li Tian was flung out by a tremendous force.
He was sent flying over ten meters before landing with a thud back on the arena...
Li Tian, who achieved Great Perfection in Gathering Spirit, was severely injured by a single punch.
From this, one can see just how terrifying Chen Yang’s power is at the moment!
Pfft...
Li Tian hit the ground, instantly spitting blood from his mouth!
His eyes were filled with an array of emotions.
Unwillingness, shock, fear, dread...
A mix of emotions made his body tremble uncontrollably...
And below the stage, it was dead silent.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open, watching the events unfold on the stage in disbelief.
Li Tian, ranked in the top ten of the fourth region, was defeated with a single punch?
And by a newcomer from this realm?
This is too incredible.
Isn’t it said that Spiritual Energy is scarce in this realm, unable to bring forth any powerful existence?
At this moment, everyone watching below was so shocked that their worldview was about to collapse!
Meanwhile, on the stage, Chen Yang, who severely injured Li Tian with a single punch, didn’t stop there.
He is not one for slaughter, but he’s not indecisive either.
Since it was previously agreed, no surrender was allowed, one must fight to the death. Why should he go soft now?
Strike while the iron is hot!
"Li Tian, you’ve lost!"
Chen Yang roared fiercely, striding forward to deliver a fatal punch to Li Tian.
"No! You can’t kill me!" Li Tian, wrapped in the threat of death, screamed in terror and despair.
But Chen Yang was unaffected, his unstoppable punch heading straight for Li Tian’s forehead.
If hit, undoubtedly, Li Tian would die!
Just as everyone thought Li Tian was doomed.
Suddenly, a figure flew onto the stage from outside.
Carrying a powerful aura, heading straight for Chen Yang.
Chen Yang hadn’t anticipated this, but fortunately, he still had room to dodge.
Unfortunately, if he dodged, Li Tian couldn’t be killed.
But if he didn’t dodge, he would surely be seriously injured!
The instinct of danger!
He decided swiftly, without hesitation, to dodge!
His fist turned, and his body dodged accordingly.
Boom.
The second after he dodged, a palm formed of Spiritual Energy smashed onto the stage, exploding directly.
The might was frightening.
If he hadn’t dodged, he would definitely have been seriously injured.
Chen Yang was furious!
On a life-or-death stage, how could someone interfere?
He looked up and saw a tall, burly elder standing proudly on the stage, glaring at him.
And wasn’t this person Li Tian’s mentor, Zhao Shuo?
"Such ruthless means, aiming for death at the first strike! Are people from this realm all this savage?" Zhao Shuo chastised Chen Yang righteously.
Chen Yang was puzzled about the stranger’s identity when he heard voices from below.
"Isn’t that Elder Zhao? Why would he interfere in the life-and-death stage?"
"Don’t you know? Elder Zhao favored Li Tian’s talent and had long taken him as a Direct Disciple."
"So, Elder Zhao intervened to save Li Tian, huh?"
"What else do you think? Sigh, Chen Yang’s strength is remarkable, but unfortunately, he’s an outsider who didn’t know Li Tian has connections."
...
Upon hearing the discussions below, Chen Yang understood!
So, Zhao Shuo was Li Tian’s mentor!
No wonder he stepped in.
Utterly shameless!
Chen Yang was infuriated.
As Li Tian’s mentor, Zhao Shuo certainly knew about today’s stage events.
After all, the entire fifth region was in an uproar, how could he not know?
And knowing this, he didn’t stop it immediately.
He waited until Li Tian was defeated and about to die to intervene.
This kind of protective behavior is easy to understand.
"This is a life-or-death stage, if no death is ensured, should I wait for him to kill me? How can you, as an academy elder, publicly intervene in a life-or-death stage?"
Chen Yang was angry; even if the opponent was an elder, he was not afraid at all! Standing firm against him!
"Sharp-tongued, hurting others has its reasons now? Today, as an academy elder, I will punish you!" Zhao Shuo skillfully shifted focus, portraying Chen Yang as a vicious evildoer with a harsh hand.
As his words fell, he prepared to strike.
Chen Yang, enraged, had no intention of dodging.
He had discovered that Zhao Shuo’s strength wasn’t very strong, only in the Condensation Realm.
If he fought recklessly, it’s not impossible to challenge!
"Take this!" Zhao Shuo roared, raised his hand, and struck towards Chen Yang.
But at that moment, another figure flashed onto the stage, blocking in front of Chen Yang.
A wave of a large hand, directly taking the blow for Chen Yang!
Spiritual Energy exploded, and everyone saw clearly who the second figure was.
Elder Xu!
"Zhao Shuo, you’ve gone too far, this life-or-death stage destines life and death by fate, not only do you publicly intervene, but you also strike Chen Yang. Do you still respect the academy’s rules?" Elder Xu harshly reprimanded Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo might bully the weak and twist facts for Chen Yang.
But Elder Xu was of the same rank, how could he bully for protection?
"This person’s heart is evil, his hand is so vicious, I’m only intending to discipline slightly, Elder Xu you’re making a fuss over nothing, right?" Zhao Shuo brazenly said.
"Hmph, on the life-or-death stage, it’s naturally a battle for life; what’s vicious? If you’re unreasonable, I don’t mind escalating the issue!" Elder Xu said angrily.
"Elder Xu, you..." Zhao Shuo was furious.
But he knew he was in the wrong.
Regardless, this is a life-or-death stage.
"Fine, Xu Changyou, today I’ll give you face, and not pursue this matter!" Zhao Shuo forcibly pretended reconciliation and then intended to leave with Li Tian.
"Wait!"
Elder Xu was not willing to let people go like that.
"Xu Changyou, what more do you want?" Zhao Shuo’s eyes narrowed into a slit, yet couldn’t hide the burning fury in his eyes.
"You can take him away, but leave all his Contribution Coins behind."
By rights, the life-or-death stage must decide life.
But Zhao Shuo was infamously protective, and didn’t follow the rules.
Elder Xu knew it wasn’t possible to really let Li Tian die today, so he could only recover some losses, not leaving Chen Yang so disadvantaged.
"You..." Zhao Shuo gritted his teeth, wanting to act up, but back to the same point.
They fundamentally held no justification.
No choice, he could only swallow this bitter pill.
First, save the person!
"Take it!"
Zhao Shuo took off the Jade Token from Li Tian’s waist, threw it to Elder Xu, and then left the stage with Li Tian by his side.
The developments on the stage like this were unexpected by everyone.
The place was in uproar.
Stunning in Chen Yang’s fierce attack while lamenting Zhao Shuo’s actions.
The life-or-death stage had long established rules.
The life and death of both parties must be decided, and no interference was allowed.
But unexpectedly, that protective Zhao Shuo brazenly broke the rules, rescuing Li Tian in front of so many academy students.
This matter has escalated.
"Thank you, Elder Xu, for intervening!"
Seeing Zhao Shuo leave, Chen Yang was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Zhao Shuo’s late-stage Condensation strength was incredibly formidable.
He’s currently not a match.
Can only keep this account in mind!
If given the chance later, he must take revenge!
