The outer sect disciples that surrounded the arena, Duan Jin, Cui Bo, the other four finalists, Duan Ri, Duan Xi and Su Jun, all moved their eyes to Hu Yun, looking at him and showing different reactions on their faces.
Duan Jin smiled wickedly while thinking,
that’s right, go onto the arena. Get yourself killed!
Cui Bo shook his head while thinking,
don’t be stupid, if you get up on that stage you will get crippled or even killed.
The other four finalists shook their heads, laughed inwardly and thought,
you are no match for him, not one of us is.
Duan Xi narrowed her eyes and thought,
is he retarded? Can’t he see the disparity of his and Su Jun’s strength?
The disciples that surrounded the arena frowned and they shouted one after another.
“You already lost!” the first male disciple shouted out.
“Yeah!” the second male disciple shouted out.
“Don’t get up on that stage!” the third male disciple shouted out.
“Yeah!” the first and the second male disciple shouted out at the same time; then all the other disciples joined in, shouting out the same word, over and over again.
How troublesome. Duan Ri already announced me as a victor of the fight, but Hu Yun still wants to fight me? Will elder Duan Ri allow it? If he does and if I have to fight Hu Yun again, will I be able to defeat him without crippling or killing him?... No, if he gets up onto the arena in his current condition, even a tenth of my strength will be enough to cripple or kill him… Since it is a competition, I really want to avoid doing that…
“Hu Yun, don’t get up on the arena. You couldn’t win against me when we were kids, you couldn’t win against me three weeks ago and you can’t win against me now,” Su Jun said with a calm voice and while wearing a serious expression on his face.
Hu Yun glared at Su Jun, rage flickered through his eyes, “I will kill you, you bastard!” he shouted as he took a few wobbly steps towards the arena.
Duan Ri frowned and said in a loud clear voice, “Hu Yun, didn’t you hear me? I said you have lost.”
Hu Yun snapped his head to Duan Ri, “I am not done! I can’t lose to him again! I can’t!” he shouted; then turned his head back to Su Jun and took two more wobbly steps towards the arena.
Su Jun frowned,
that anger, that expression on his face…He won’t stop until he is dead or he has completed his goals.
Su Jun sighed inwardly,
killing him or crippling him is unavoidable
.
If I have to do one or the other, I will do the later. I am going to cripple him by using a tenth of my strength.
Duan Ri frowned and all the outer sect disciples, including the other finalists gasped and widened their eyes in surprise, before involuntarily gulping down their salivas as Hu Yun dared to raise his voice against the elder, and not a simple elder, but an elder from the Duan family.
Hu Yun took another step towards the arena, while glaring at Su Jun with rage flickering through his eyes, and once his foot landed on the ground, two elders appeared behind him, and Duan Ri spoke, “One week in solitary confinement, remove him.”
The elder that appeared from Hu Yun’s left, chopped at Hu Yun’s neck and tossed him over his shoulder, while the elder that appeared from his right, said as it happened, “As you command, elder Duan Ri.” The two elders and Hu Yun disappeared. It happened so fast, that no outer sect disciple realised what had transpired; the only ones that knew what transpired where Duan Ri, Duan Xi and Su Jun.
Those elders, they were of rank 7 and 8 of martial core realm,
Su Jun thought.
All the outer sect disciples, including the finalists looked around confused when they saw that Hu Yun was gone; a few of them mumbled.
“Where did Hu Yun go?” the first female disciple of rank 1 martial mortal cultivation said.
“He was here just a moment ago,” the first male disciple of rank 2 martial mortal cultivation said.
“I think I heard elder Duan Ri say something about solitary confinement,” the second male disciple of rank 3 martial mortal realm said.
“I think, I heard that too,” the third male disciple of rank 3 martial mortal realm said.
The outer sect disciples that heard it as well, nodded their heads in agreement, while those that didn’t hear those words, titled their heads in confusion.
You got lucky Hu Yun,
Su Jun thought.
Duan Ri moved his eyes to the other six finalists, “Will any one of you challenge Su Jun?” he said, and all the outer sect disciples that surrounded the arena, turned their eyes to the six finalists as they all wanted to see who will Su Jun fight next; forgetting about Hu Yun’s sudden disappearance.
Cui Bo shook his head, Duan Jin shook his head, the remaining four shook their heads. The outer sect disciples widened their eyes from shock and they shouted out.
“What?!” the first male disciple shouted out.
“No one is challenging him?” the first female disciple mumbled in confusion.
“I want to see Su Jun fight!” the second male disciple shouted out.
“Me too!” the second female disciple and the third male disciple shouted out in unison.
“Me as well!” the fourth male disciple shouted out.
“Challenge him!” the fifth male disciple shouted out.
“Challenge him! Challenge him! Challenge him!” all the outer sect disciples started chanting.
Su Jun frowned,
Duan Jin is chickening out? No, that’s not happening, I have to get back to him for what he did to me,
He moved his eyes to the elder Duan Ri, “Elder, I want to challenge Duan Jin!”
All the outer sect disciples quieted down and they all blinked their eyes, excitement flashed through them.
