328: C328 Disillusionment

C328 Disillusionment

Silence ….

No one could have thought that this matter would develop in such a way. On the arena, blood flowed all over the ground, but Zeng Jue was thrown out of the arena.

Zeng Jue, who was blasted out of the arena, was expressionless. Other than spitting out a lot of blood, his whole body was in a daze. His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he was frightened.

Everyone knew that it was Nie Zhen's bloody performance and terrifying expression that completely scared Zeng Jue, causing him to still be living in fear.

That host disciple climbed onto the arena and didn't dare to approach Nie Zhen. After announcing Nie Zhen's victory, he directly escaped from the arena.

After confirming that he had won, Nie Zhen staggered a bit, but in the end, he still managed to stabilize his body. He quickly took out a lot of dazzling pills from the Storage Ring and swallowed them in one gulp. Then, he took out some dew like medicine and smeared it on the wound on his chest.

This time, in order to quickly solve Zeng Jue's problem, Nie Zhen's injuries weren't light either. At this moment, he had to quickly recover.

Only when Nie Zhen slowly walked down the ring did the crowd in the stands finally react. Qin Wuyan and the other brothers hurriedly ran down from the ring and wanted to take Nie Zhen away from the ring.

However, before Nie Zhen could receive their support, he suddenly sat down cross-legged outside of the arena and started cultivating.

"Junior Brother Nie, let's take you back first. This place is pretty close to the arena, so don't let it affect you!" Just as Soong Dong'er was about to pull Nie Zhen up, a pair of pure white jade hands appeared in front of Soong Dong'er and the others.

It was only then did they realize that Yan Ruoxue had already blocked their path. If it was anyone else, they might be a little angry, but it was obvious that Yan Ruoxue had a good relationship with Nie Zhen.

After Yan Ruoxue stopped the others, she said lightly to everyone, "Don't disturb Young Master Nie now, he's about to have a breakthrough."

"What?" Breakthrough? "Breakthrough what?" Qin Wuyan was stunned, then reacted, Nie Zhen was about to break through his Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage!

"This young lady is right. Nie Zhen is about to break through. You can guard him, but don't disturb him …" Zhuo Bufan said to the Duobao Sect disciples in a low voice. However, their expressions were not very happy.

At this moment, it was not a good time for Nie Zhen to break through. At this moment, he was heavily injured and there was not even a single strand of spiritual energy left in his body. If he were to break through in this state, it would be very easy for him to go berserk.

But at this time, no one else had any way to stop Nie Zhen. He had already entered into closed-door training, so if they recklessly disturbed him, they might screw over him. Now, the only thing they could do was to protect Nie Zhen.

Actually, Nie Zhen also felt very helpless towards his own breakthrough at this time. Originally, when he was participating in the Three Sects exchange competition, Nie Zhen had already faintly touched a threshold to break through Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage, but at that time, he felt that having his cultivation break through too fast was not a good thing, so he deliberately suppressed the signs of him not comprehending the breakthrough.

But up until now, Nie Zhen had experienced many battles. Although he did not take the lives of others, but in terms of the intensity of the battle, it was definitely bigger than Nie Zhen's previous battles. In addition, Nie Zhen continued to consume his spiritual energy in order to stimulate his physical strength to the limit.

Nie Zhen immediately started to operate the Shura's Murderous Aura s that were left in his body. Luckily, he had taken a lot of healing pills previously, so under the help of the Shura's Murderous Aura, both the internal injuries and the spirit energy in his dantian started to recover at an obvious rate.

However, the breakthrough this time was very fierce and happened when he was at his weakest. Nie Zhen did not dare to be careless, otherwise, if he was not careful, he might really have Qigong deviation.

After all, Nie Zhen had broken through after the battle, it was just an interlude. Although it was very odd, it was not something that was hard to understand. Nie Zhen's battle prowess was far beyond that of an expert of the same level, so it was not unusual for him to have a breakthrough.

However, if Nie Zhen successfully broke through to the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage, who knows how shocking his battle strength would be.

Forget about Nie Zhen's cultivation for the time being, since the competition was still going to continue, no one would focus all their attention on Nie Zhen. Next up, the second round of the top eight would begin.

The second battle was between Su Qiyu and the number one talent of the Eight Extreme Temple. Although Hua Ying was the number one disciple of the Eight Extreme Temple, his cultivation was only at the Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage realm. His strength was still a little lower than Shui Yunshang's, so how could he be Su Qiyu's match?

So the match hadn't even started, and the outcome was already decided.

The Eight Level Sect's Master, Sun Bing, and the Five Appearances Sect's Great Sect Master Long Xiang looked at each other helplessly. Although the champion's treasure was extremely tempting, there was nothing they could do about it.

Although they coveted the weapons of the ninth level of the Sky Realm, they still followed the rules. Moreover, they knew that if they really couldn't get it, even if they forced it, it wouldn't end well.

Forget about the other sects, just the Jiugong Sect of Sovereign Tai Yi was not something he could withstand.

It was precisely because of the Origin Stage expert, Sovereign Tai Yi, that the other sects were so orderly. Even if they had no hope of winning, it would not happen in small ways.

The second round of the competition was far less thrilling than the first one. It hadn't even been thirty rounds and Hua Ying had already been defeated by Su Qiyu. Furthermore, Su Qiyu hadn't even used her spirit weapon.

"Damn Nie Zhen. Originally, my performance was enough to shock everyone. It was because of this Berserk Demon that caused my performance to be so ordinary!" Su Qiyu was furious. Nie Zhen's crazy performance in the last match had indeed caused a huge sensation.0

Although Su Qiyu's performance was also very brilliant, defeating the number one genius of the Eight Extreme Gate in just a few dozen moves, it was a bit boring compared to the last fight.

"It's best if he goes berserk and dies. Otherwise, if he falls into my hands, I'll cripple him even if he doesn't die!" Su Qiyu rolled her eyes at Nie Zhen as she cursed in her heart. After the host disciple finished announcing the results of the competition, she casually stepped down from the stage.

Su Qiyu enjoyed the reverence and respect from others, which made him feel extremely confident in himself. He had always been one of the top disciples in Jiugong Sect, enjoying this kind of feeling.

But this time, he was disappointed. Everyone's expression was very calm. Perhaps in their hearts, Nie Zhen's performance had already far surpassed First Senior Brother, who was from the younger generation with Ascendant Jiugong Sect …

Especially when she saw the concerned Shui Yunshang standing not far away from Nie Zhen, Su Qiyu's anger rose and she became even more jealous of Nie Zhen.

Su Qiyu had always regarded Shui Yunshang as her woman. Although Zeng Jue also had some intentions towards Shui Yunshang, Su Qiyu had never placed Zeng Jue in her eyes. One was Jiugong Sect, First Senior Brother, the number one genius, and the other one was a ten thousand year old second brother. As long as Shui Yunshang's brain wasn't damaged, she would naturally know who to choose.

However, Nie Zhen's appearance gave Su Qiyu a very serious sense of crisis. When had Shui Yunshang ever been so concerned about the opposite sex? This made Su Qiyu extremely jealous and made her even more determined to kill Nie Zhen.

However, now was not the time to kill Nie Zhen. Su Qiyu slowly walked back to the stands in anticipation of meeting Nie Zhen in the next round.

The third round of the competition had already begun. It was Shangguan Yu against Lei Yan.

Although Shangguan Yu's cultivation was only at Fifth Level of the Heavenly Stage, it was clear that his strength was at least above Sixth Level of the Heavenly Stage. He was even on par with Su Qiyu.

Lei Yan admitted that he was no match for Shangguan Yu. Therefore, in this battle, Lei Yan purely intended to test Shangguan Yu's abilities, in order to save his life. He didn't want to be defeated by Shangguan Yu like Lee Yanyu previously.

Lei Yan was slightly stronger than Lee Yanyu. Furthermore, in battles, defense was the main factor. Therefore, Shangguan Yu didn't find any flaws for a while.

Originally, Lei Yan had planned to endure for another ten rounds. As long as the situation remained the same, he would admit his defeat and avoid being ambushed by Shangguan Yu.

However, Shangguan Yu had his own plans when fighting Lei Yan.

Dealing with such a person was also a bit of trouble. It was not that Shangguan Yu could not beat Lei Yan, but once he used his full strength, Lei Yan would not be his match.

However, when Shangguan Yu was fighting with Lei Yan, he glanced at Liu Tie who was sitting cross-legged not far away from him. Shangguan Yu suddenly became extremely ferocious. When he was fighting with Lei Yan, a dart-like ray of light suddenly appeared in his hand.

This dart, which was entirely made up of spiritual energy, was like a concealed weapon. However, because it was made up of spiritual energy, it was very eye-catching in Shangguan Yu's hands.

But never in his wildest dreams did Lei Yan expect that Shangguan Yu would rely on his movement technique to get to the same position. Shangguan Yu ensured that he and Nie Zhen were in the same line and Lei Yan was in the middle of the line.

Lei Yan didn't know Shangguan Yu's plan. When he saw Shangguan Yu use his movement technique to move to the other side, he thought Shangguan Yu was going to shoot his dart at him and quickly used his movement technique to dodge.

At this moment, Shangguan Yu threw his dart towards Nie Zhen. Although it seemed to be aimed at Lei Yan, it was actually aimed at Nie Zhen.

That's right, Shangguan Yu's dart target was Nie Zhen, who had entered the state of cultivation and had no defensive capabilities at all!
