Zhan Chen threw a look at the participants after defeating his first opponent. He was curious to know who would be the second.
Majority of the participants chose to ignore him because they had some information about his prowess. They knew that he had never felt any difficulty in defeating his opponents.
The most glaring thing about him was he was only eighteen years old yet he could fight effortlessly with the cultivators at peak Core condensation realm.
This information was already leaked to all of the participants. So, they were wary of facing him in a battle.
Zhan Chen felt bored after standing for a while. "Senior, what should we do if none of them come to challenge me?", he asked the judge from the Spirit palace.
"Zhan Chen, you need to keep calm for a while. We have already known that majority of the participants will choose to avoid the monstrous geniuses. There are quite a few this time and your potential makes you one of them", the expert of the Spirit palace replied.
"Quite a few monstrous geniuses! The competition will be interesting then", Zhan Chen chuckled.
He was having a conversation with the Spirit palace expert when he felt something. A masked cultivator chose to step on the stone platform where he was standing.
"Zhan Chen, your wait is finally over. Let me see how do you handle this opponent?", the expert from the Spirit palace commented. He gave the signal to begin and the battle between Zhan Chen and his opponent started.
"Zhan Chen, you will die today", the masked young man spoke.
"Oh, really?", Zhan Chen felt amused. He looked at the masked young man with interest and took out his sword from his spatial ring.
"Tell me. How am I going to die?", he looked towards the masked young man. The masked young man smiled deviously in response and his figure blurred.
Before the spectators could react he was already approaching Zhan Chen with an odd looking sword in his hand.
The sword looked like a demonic blade as it had an uneven tip. Such sword would give more pain to a victim if his or her body got pierced by the odd looking sword.
The masked young man suddenly jumped into air and lunged towards Zhan Chen with the odd looking sword in his hand. Zhan Chen brought his sword forward and swung at the direction of the masked young man.
'Clang', both of their swords collided and Zhan Chen had to move back two steps to balance his body from such an impact.
The masked man backed away after not succeeding with his sudden attack. He again used his strange movement technique and lunged towards Zhan Chen with his sword in the hand.
Their battle continued as Zhan Chen only defended himself for a while. He was in no hurry to attack because he was observing the strange movement technique of the masked man.
The judge felt something and looked towards the masked man warily. It was because the surrounding area was slowly being affected by the vicious aura of the masked man.
"This young man! Cultivating such a demonic method! I wonder how much he had killed in the past to cultivate such a technique", the judge thought to himself.
The masked man became more frantic as the battle progressed. Zhan Chen 's women started to be worried as the battle continued for more than the expected time.
"Big sis, will he be okay?", Zi Ningxi asked warily. Zhan Qingyue also had a worried look on her face as she witnessed the battle between Zhan Chen and the masked man.
Contrary to the judge's expectation, Zhan Chen was not even slightly affected by the strange technique of the masked man. The masked man could have easily influenced any other Core condensation realm cultivator but he was unfortunate that he was fighting Zhan Chen.
The masked man also noticed the indifference of Zhan Chen towards his technique. "You are indeed a troublesome opponent. But rest assured. This battle will be your final battle no matter how much you struggle", the masked man spoke.
"You seem very confident?", Zhan Chen looked at the masked man with interest. The masked man only grinned in response as a glint appeared in his eyes.
"Blood sacrifice technique", he murmured lightly and looked towards Zhan Chen. A frown appeared on the face of Zhan Chen after he saw the maniac look on the eyes of the masked man.
The masked man swung his sword and a gigantic energy blade flew towards Zhan Chen. The attack was very quick as it appeared before Zhan Chen even before he could blink.
Zhan Chen didn't have any time to defend. So, he moved away hurriedly from his place. A long cut mark appeared on the stone surface where he was standing.
The masked young man didn't want to give any time to Zhan Chen. So, he launched another attack. This time Zhan Chen responded with one of his own as both of their attacks collided in the mud air.
"Both of them have already exceeded the level of Core condensation realm. The masked young man is strange but the the real monstrous one is this brat from the Zhan clan", the judge thought to himself.
The masked young man gradually started to lose momentum as his eyes started to become dull. His face was deathly pale by the time he defended a casual attack from Zhan Chen.
"Sacrificing life blood to temporarily increase cultivation. Looks like you are really keen to kill me", Zhan Chen spoke.
"It is a given that you need to die. Otherwise, I can't think of the consequences if I let you live", the masked young man spoke.
"Everyone have their own concerns. So, let me see what more you can pull out to fight me", Zhan Chen spoke.
"You will not be disappointed", the masked man replied and lunged towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen swung his sword in response as both of their swords collided.
What happened next was out of everyone's expectations as the masked man let go of his odd looking sword. He moved in a strange manner and closed the distance between himself and Zhan Chen.
A decisive look appeared on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen. "Zhan Chen, it is the end", he spoke and threw something towards the ground.
Zhan Chen 's expression changed suddenly as he back stepped immediately. A huge explosion came out from the place where both of them were standing.
The spectators in the surrounding were in shock as they saw the huge fire coming out from the stone platform. A disheaveled figure flew out from the stone platform just after the explosion was heard.
"Crazy bastard. Are you trying to kill me along with the Zhan clan brat", the voice of the Spirit palace judge could be heard in the surrounding.
The battle on the other platforms stopped as everyone was looking at the middle platform with shock in their eyes. The fire was still raging on as nothing could be seen except the yellowish fire and the smoke in the air.
"Brother Hongbo, are you alright?", the other judges from the Spirit palace flew towards the middle stone platform. All of their eyes were on the middle stone platform as the flame started to subside.
