Chapter 241: Im Gonna Make an Example Out of You! (1/2)

”Disciple Yuan, right? I can still forgive you for your audacious behavior if you kowtow before me and beg for forgiveness.” Wu Laohu laughed out loud in a provocative manner.

However, Yuan remained calm and said, ”If you fight every person that you bump into, you'll eventually bump into the wrong person and regret it.”

Yuan's words wiped the smile off Wu Laohu's face, and Wu Laohu sneered, ”I changed my mind. Even if you beg for forgiveness, it's already too late. I'm going to beat you until even your mother won't recognize you!”

”Elder Cheng, you can start the match!”

Elder Cheng nodded and said, ”The rules for this match are simple— you fight until either one of you faints!”

The disciples were shocked when they heard the rules. Normally, one can end the fight by surrendering or leaving the stage, but according to Elder Cheng's words, they only lose when one of them loses consciousness! Isn't this basically a death match but without the death part?

”What? I have never seen such rules before! Did Elder Cheng and Mad Tiger plan this fight? I have heard rumors of it happening before as well!”

”Shhh! Don't let them hear you or you'll be on the stage next!”

Yuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard these disciples' whispers. Apparently, this isn't Wu Laohu's first time doing something like forcing another disciple to fight him.

'Why am I not surprised?' Yuan sighed inwardly.

”This is the true nature of the cultivation world, Brother Yuan. People will do whatever they can to achieve their goals.” Xiao Hua's voice resounded inside his head.

Elder Cheng then continued, ”Weapons are allowed in this match, but you are not allowed to use treasures! Furthermore, you are not allowed to kill each other!”

Elder Cheng looked at Wu Laohu as he said the last sentence, almost like it was specifically meant for him!

After all, even though he can help Wu Laohu rig a match, he won't be able to save him if he kills another disciple.

Seeing Elder Cheng's gaze, Wu Laohu showed a smile that said, ”Don't worry, I won't kill him.”

Elder Cheng nodded. He then turned to look at Yuan and said, ”Are you ready to fight?”

”I am,” Yuan responded calmly.

Wu Laohu retrieved an ordinary sword from his storage pouch and swung it around a few times with excitement in his movements.

Meanwhile, Yuan simply stood there without moving a single finger. Since he couldn't use treasures, all of his weapons were restricted. With that being said, he never planned on using a weapon to begin with.

”Does that disciple intend on fighting Mad Tiger without a weapon?! He's a madman!”

The disciples were dumbfounded when they saw this, and they couldn't tell if it was arrogance or stupidity.

Wu Laohu frowned when he saw this, thinking that Yuan was looking down on him.

”Hmph! As if I need a weapon to best your ass! In fact, I can beat you even more without a weapon!” Wu Laohu tossed his sword back into the storage pouch a few seconds later.

Meanwhile, many meters in the distance, hidden from plain sight, an old woman wearing high-ranking sect elder robes watched the match with a smile on her face.
