Chapter 251: Life for Life

Da Hu and Er Hu were killed in succession.

The Flame Sect's people were almost driven mad.

Da Hu and Er Hu were given limitless expectations by the Flame Sect.

They were even expecting the two to shine brilliantly at this Azure Prefecture Grand Competition, after which the Flame Sect would consequently rise several levels.

Yet, no one could have imagined that the two would actually be killed in succession.

How could they withstand such a huge blow?

The Flame Sect Elder glared at the Flame Sect Sect Master with gritted teeth, saying, 'Sect Master, the Azure Cloud Sect's lackeys are bullying us too much, having killed Da Hu and Er Hu in succession; this humiliation is like a blood spear piercing our hearts.'

'If we do not avenge this, how can our Flame Sect stand in Azure Prefecture, how can we look forward to the Mysterious Yellow Continent?'

'Yes, Sect Master, the Azure Cloud Sect's people are really bullying us too much; please, Sect Master, uphold justice for Da Hu and Er Hu.'

Throughout the Flame Sect, everyone chatted back and forth, all wanting to regain face for Da Hu and Er Hu.

Facing the crowd's threats, the Flame Sect Sect Master, a thin old man, also looked toward the Azure Cloud Sect's people nearby.

He spoke in a threatening tone: 'Azure Cloud Sect people, your people killed my two disciples; should this be settled with justice for us?'

The Flame Sect Sect Master acted arrogantly, naturally understanding that there are principles beyond life and death on the stage.

However, Da Hu and Er Hu were greatly favored by Li Tianyuan, Chu Xiong, and Yang Cheng; this first match challenging Li Yilan and Ye Xiaojie was also at the behest of those three.

Now that the two have been killed, the three surely will not ignore it.

Thus he would be so arrogant and unrestrained, issuing threats against the Azure Cloud Sect.

Facing the Flame Sect Sect Master's threats, the Azure Cloud Sect's people also gritted their teeth.

They all looked toward the Grand Elder.

'Grand Elder, the Flame Sect is really bullying us too much.'

'I can't bear it.'

'Let's fight them.'

'Yeah, let's go all out with them.'

The Azure Cloud Sect's people were also fuming.

The Grand Elder was likewise.

But before the Azure Cloud Sect's people could react.

The Flame Sect Sect Master continued to shout threats, saying: 'Hmph.'

'Don't give any excuses.'

'Since your people killed ours, let them two pay with their lives.'

'Yes, that's right.'

'Let them pay with their lives.'

The Flame Sect's followers trailed beside the Sect Master, eager to soar into the sky and threaten the Azure Cloud Sect together.

But at that moment.

An old man slowly rose to his feet and glanced at the Flame Sect's disciples.

'You few who were shouting the loudest, right?'

Immediately.

He waved his big hand.

Boom!

A ferocious to the extreme power blasted out.

Bang!

With a muffled thud.

The area where the Flame Sect Sect Master and his disciples had just been instantly turned into a deep pit.

The Flame Sect Elder who had just been shouting the loudest, along with the disciples, had already turned into blood mist.

Such a bloody scene instantly left everyone stunned.

Who would dare imagine that such a sect as the Flame Sect would be wiped out just like that?

He isn't afraid of retribution.

Isn't he afraid of the Five Great Sects' retribution?

Everyone looked toward the podium where Li Tianyuan, Chu Xiong, and Yang Cheng stood.

Surely they would help the Flame Sect uphold justice.

Indeed, that is the case.

After the Flame Sect was wiped out, the three suddenly stood up.

They were about to avenge the Flame Sect……

However.

After seeing the person who made the move, the three again plopped back down.

Because the person who made the move was……

'Flame Sect lackeys, on the stage since ancient times life and death are not counted; your Flame Sect's skill is inferior, being killed by the Azure Cloud Sect's disciples is reasonable.'

'Today I just want to see who still dares to make a move.'

The speaker was naturally Jiang Taimu.

And the one who made the move was naturally him.

Seeing Jiang Taimu before them, even Li Tianyuan, Chu Xiong, and Yang Cheng dared not offend him.

The remaining Flame Sect disciples dared not continue to act recklessly.

They hurriedly lowered their head, saying nothing.

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Jiang Tamu glanced coolly at the Flame Sect disciples and said with a look of contempt, "A bunch of useless good-for-nothings."

The Flame Sect disciples felt their faces burning hot; no matter what they said, the Flame Sect was a well-known sect in Azure Province, and being called good-for-nothings really left them feeling a bit resentful.

However, since they couldn't beat their opponent, they had to endure the scolding.

They only hoped that after the other party finished scolding, they wouldn't lay a hand on them.

All the Flame Sect members secretly thought this way.

Even some onlookers and sect members thought that the Flame Sect not talking back at this moment was the best way to handle things.

After all, you don't strike a smiling face.

They believed Jiang Tamu would do the same.

However…

With a boom.

Jiang Tamu threw a punch that blasted toward the remaining Flame Sect disciples' position.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The Flame Sect, which still had several dozen disciples left, instantly turned to dust and vanished from this world.

Upon seeing this, everyone present froze in shock.

"This…"

"Wasn't the agreement to not strike a smiling face?"

"Why is this so?"

Jiang Tamu gave a cold snort: "A bunch of losers who can't afford to play; alive, they only waste air."

Immediately.

He then sat down in a carefree, relaxed manner.

Yet among the crowd, no one stood up to oppose him.

Only the Azure Cloud Sect members were whispering among themselves.

"Elder Jiang, that really feels relieving."

"Yeah, it's so satisfying."

The Azure Cloud Sect members spoke back and forth, their faces all lit up with delighted smiles.

………………

And at this moment.

The lurking Canlie also emerged, having cleverly calculated the heavenly secrets.

"It seems the appearance of that supreme opportunity is indeed related to those two girls."

A voice transmission silently fell into Li Tianyuan's ear.

"The Azure Province Grand Competition continues."

Li Tianyuan sat upright and proper, looking toward the Azure Province Grand Competition nearby, and said, "Alright, this matter is now past; on the stage, life and death are not counted."

"If you fear death or can't afford to play, then don't step onto the stage."

"Now, the duel continues."

The slightly plump host of the Azure Province Grand Competition nodded and said, "Yes."

Immediately.

He looked at the crowd: "Everyone, the Azure Province Grand Competition—on the stage, life and death are not counted."

"I hope everyone follows the rules."

Afterwards.

He then continued, saying, "Right now, two disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect have successfully defended the stage; is there any challenger who will come up to fight?"

Upon hearing that.

Some disciples finally turned their gaze back to the stage.

And some of the participating disciples also hesitated, undecided.

After all, even Da Hu and Er Hu had died miserably at the hands of those two, so how could they dare act rashly?

Furthermore, Li Yilan and Ye Xiaoji obviously hadn't used their true strength, so they truly didn't dare to make the first move.

Thus, what was originally a situation where everyone would gang up on the two turned into them being timid and reluctant to step forward.

This made Li Tianyuan, Chu Xiong, and Yang Cheng, among others, quite unhappy.

Last night, they had given those geniuses ample resources and treasures, yet now this bunch has gone timid.

Thus, they had no choice but to look toward the three people who stood out from the crowd.

These three were none other than Wang Shuang of the Star Fist Sect, Zuo Xinghe of the Great River Sect, and Song Shan of the Heaven-Questioning Gate.

These three were the absolute topic of discussion at this Azure Province Grand Competition.

Because they possessed the strongest strength, the highest talent, and the greatest reputation.

Wang Shuang of the Star Fist Sect stepped forward calmly and unhurriedly.

Looking at the two, he slowly said, "Elder Brother Zuo, Elder Brother Song, should you go first, or should I?"
