92 Hidden Strength of the Cedar Sec (1/2)

”You're five moves have finished. Not bad, but not good enough!”

Van's voice was soft and yet filled the hearts of everyone around him with ice. They had laughed at him when he said that Viggo would need the five-move head start and yet here they were and Viggo was nearly kneeling on the ground from the recoil of his finishing move and Van was perfectly fine.

Whether they wore orange robes or green robes, the crowd was extremely disturbed. What would happen now that Van could fight back?

A deep cobalt colour appeared in Van's palm.

”Tide Swallows the Earth!”

A massive tidal wave filled with cold qi blacked out the sky.

The crowd backed away quickly; Viggo couldn't dodge in time.

The Boulder Sect disciple's movement skill was not skilful enough for him to dodge such a large area-of-effect move and the tidal wave engulfed him. Immediately, he felt the cold qi try slide through his skin and enter his system.

[Not good! The qi in this move is not very damaging, but it is so cold it has a slowing effect!]

Viggo felt his movements become sluggish. The spiritual energy within him seemed to be attacked by the freezing qi in the move, causing his reactions to slow down.

”River Splitting the Rocks!”

An angry lash of water knocked Viggo backwards. It hit his chest so forcefully that blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Viggo's face became more solemn.

[Thousand Saint's Sacrifice - Copper Buddha!]

Van changed up his attacking style and moved into the close range while his opponent was still affected by the coldness of the qi. This time he didn't use any fancy spiritual art, he just used his most basic attack - his tyrannical body cultivation!

When you wanted to catch someone off guard, the simplest and fastest attack was the best attack. Van's fists were the most used attack from his villager days.

But Viggo's renown from being a demon beast slayer was well-earned; his senses picked up the slight movement in wind. The instant Van was upon him, Viggo crossed his cutlasses in front of him.

TENG!

Van's glowing copper fist collided with the metal cutlasses with a ringing metal noise and knocked Viggo backwards - Viggo could block all he wanted but the sheer force behind Van's youth's attacks was too extreme!

The Boulder Sect top outer disciple's back hit the ground painfully and coughed up more blood. The impact worsened his internal injury.

Van was immediately upon his opponent, materialising out of thin air like a ghost. He pressed his advantage.  Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

BANG!

Replacing any flashy moves, Van directly kicked Viggo in the stomach and sent him flying backwards before his opponent could react.

The crowd gasped.

Van did not let up.

He attacked.

Again.

Again.

Viggo was fighting back doggedly but it was clear who was controlling the flow of the fight!

The thrill of battle sent Van's bloodlust soaring. With Blood Vision, he could clearly sense Viggo's internal injury, so he unmercifully gave his opponent no rest.  A dark whip formed from his qi shot through the air and cut a deep wound in Viggo's arm.

Viggo gritted his teeth and forced down his groan of pain. The blood dripping down his chin was still flowing.

”Are you ready to admit defeat?” Van asked calmly. The wound Viggo gave him on his arm had healed to pink line.

The contrast between the two of them was startling: one was bruised and bleeding, the other perfectly fine except for a rip in his robes.

Viggo did not reply, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Van respected his choice but lifted his palm, once more a cobalt blue light appeared

The Boulder Sect disciples couldn't stand it any longer; they could not bear defeat, but if their top outer disciple was crippled by the Cedar Sect that would be an even greater humiliation. Adding to that, they also had immense respect for Viggo and couldn't watch him suffer.

”...Viggo...!” They said quietly, eyes burning.

Viggo's shoulders slumped.

”I admit defeat.”

The cheers from the Cedar Sect were deafening. The Boulder Sect disciples went white. Some of them looked like they might empty the contents of their stomaches.

Van's lips lifted into a smile.

Viggo looked up through the blood in his eyes and saw a red-haired god of war behind his eyelids.

Then, he blacked out.

The Cedar Sect disciples rushed forwards and hoisted Van onto their shoulders. The red-haired disciple had not expected this and wobbled unsteadily on his shoulders, debating whether he should just rotate Scattering Smoke Steps and remove himself from this precarious situation.

”Va-an! Va-an! Va-an!” They chanted giddily, high on their victory over the bullying Boulder Sect.
