Chapter 365 The Slaughter Begins
After Shi Chanxin was defeated by Liu Feng, the young martial artists of West Asiea League had completely laid low.
But with the whole Wudang Mountain as the core, many people were starting to talk about a super master named Liu Feng. The name of Liu Feng was like a meteorite, which drew the attention of many people in an instant.
“Da*n! Such a bada*s. I found out the deeds of this dude in the capital via some resources of mine.”
“Da*n, I know it too! This Liu Feng killed at least a dozen experts of the Danjin Level in the capital, and he was able to safely retreat!”
“It is said that this Liu Feng dude had offended several big families in the capital. He dared to toss in the capital like that. But he is still alive and kicking. The fact itself is a miracle.”
Some facts about Liu Feng were exposed by some thoughtful individuals.
This had made many people who didn"t know Liu Feng be awed by him.
In a five-star hotel outside Wudang Mountain, a young man with a linen ring on his head muttered to himself, “With such a hardcore person out there, it won"t be hard for you Celestial Empire experts to get a good ranking. But as long as I am here, the first place wouldn"t definitely belong to you Celestial Empire people.”
At the main entrance of Wudang Mountain, a young man who looked like an ordinary tourist in a casual outfit said, “At the last Hidden Dragon Duel, we Celestial Empire just got the first place while all other nine out of the top ten rankings were taken away by other countries. This time, I"m afraid it"s not going to be the same.”
“Liu Feng, I am looking forward to fighting you at the Hidden Dragon Duel.” Muttered a young man sitting in the wood, wiping his katana with a piece of white cloth.
Two days later, the Hidden Dragon Duel started officially.
Before five in the morning, all the masters who were partic.i.p.ating in the Hidden Dragon Duel had gathered at a certain mountain ridge in Wu Tang.
With more than a thousand martial artists from all over Asiea gathering together, the Qi they radiated was so daunting that the birds and beasts in the mountains were scared off.
In addition, there were quite a few friends and relatives who had accompanied them to the Duel, which filled the ridge with people consequently.
“Brother Feng, march on!”
Yang Shiwen clenched her little fists and cheered for Liu Feng happily.
Liu Feng raised his hand and rubbed Yang Shiwen"s head, “I will. Wait for me here and be good. Don"t mess around.”
“Uhuh!” Yang Shiwen nodded vigorously.
“I"ve talked to Li Zepeng. If anyone troubles you, just let Old Li know.” Liu Feng leaned towards Yang Shiwen and whispered to her ear.
“Uhuh!” Yang Shiwen nodded again.
Cough!
Just then, a light cough sounded.
Yes, it was just a light cough. But it seemed so clear throughout the ridge that it was audible to all the people there.
“A super master.”
“This is the skill that uses pure Qi to make a sound in the throat, which can only be achieved by the legend of legends.”
“It is the sound in the throat. The legendary sounding a thousand miles technique is based on it.”
All the masters on the ridge looked solemnly respectful. A few of them chattered in low voice but soon quieted down as the crowd.
A real Taoist in a robe appeared on a huge lying rock at the most inner side of the ridge.
The old man was of medium build and had a fly swatter in his hand.
Ahem! Shouldn"t Taoists be holding horsetail whisks? What was he doing with a fly swatter?
“Everyone, I am the current head of Wudang Sect, and my Tao name is Ferocius. The Hidden Dragon Duel is held in Wu Tang this time. To be frank, it"s troublesome for me.”
Ha!
In one sentence, Ferocius had relieved the tension, and a lot of the people even laughed.
Ferocius continued, “But when the country named us Wu Tang and the Celestial Empire Martial Arts a.s.sociation to host this event together, we just have to make it happen. I"ll cut the cr*p here and move on to the important announcements. This time…”
When it came to the words “this time”, Ferocius became serious immediately, and his voice was as loud as a giant bell, “This time at the Hidden Dragon Duel, there are three levels. The first level is called Crossing the Dragon Valley; the second level is called Mighty Dragons Stands Out; the third level is called Diving and Rising Dragons.”
Everyone listened carefully, but they were all confused.
Then, Ferocius explained in detail, “Crossing the Dragon Valley is actually a ma.s.s fight. Or should I say a mess fight? You see this wide mountain behind me…”
The mountain that Ferocius was pointing at was the widest in the Wudang Mountains. There was no tourism value, and it was totally undeveloped. People would scatter and climb the mountain to gather at the back ridge of it when the Duel started officially.
On this mountain, everyone could attack other people at their own will. Of course, they had to. That was because only less than half of the people might pa.s.s the first level. Every attendee of the Duel would have a bamboo card with them, the Hidden Dragon Order. Only the ones who possessed more than one Hidden Dragon Order were qualified to pa.s.s the first level.
“Ahem! So, in fact, this first level is a big ma.s.s fight, and it was also known as the killing level.”
Ferocius might have talked too much so that his mouth was dry. He pinched his neck and coughed twice and said, “If you have personal issues between yourselves, feel free to solve them on the mountain. Just suit yourselves. If you all die in the fight, Wudang Mountain would be quiet again. So, make yourselves at home.”
F**k!
On a short slope in the distance, Xu Tingfei who represented the Celestial Empire military to observe this Hidden Dragon Duel swore, “Da*n it! What kind of Taoist is this old man? He is so cruel.”
Scr*w it!
Zhou Yi, the director of the Fifth Bureau of National Security who was standing at the outermost part of the crowd swore as well, “Come on, old Taoist. How can you talk like that?”
What was even more irritating was that Ferocius added a comment, “Don"t worry that you"ll be abandoned if you die. Just take care of the killing. We"ll take care of the burying.”
d.a.m.n!
A special forces officer hidden in the shadow also swore, “Isn"t it all our work to bury the dead? You Taoist have just given us soldiers out.”
After Ferocius finished his speech, he raised his hand. “Alright. As for the second level, I will leave the speech for those who are still alive then. And now, I officially declare the start of the Hidden Dragon Duel. Hold your Hidden Dragon Orders and rush for the big fight in the mountain!”
Whoosh!
Right then, nearly a thousand people moved at the same time, charging towards the wide mountain in front of them.
“Liu Feng, at every Hidden Dragon Duel, the other countries aim at the Celestial Empire experts, especially the famous masters. You need to be careful.” Han Yichen approached Liu Feng and reminded him, whispering.
Liu Feng laughed and said, “It"s alright. My name is not actually that big. Su Mo and Shi Chanxin should be the ones who are worrying.”
Hee-hee!
Han Yichen smirked, “That"s true. Especially that Shi Chanxin who wanted all the Celestial Empire experts to listen to him, let"s see what a fool he"ll make out of himself.”
Just when Han Yichen mentioned Shi Chanxin, the bald man had already taken the lead in rushing into the forest.
Behind Shi Chanxin were half a dozen men, and they were all physically strong. They were the elites at the force dispersing level.
“Everyone, as we Celestial Empire martial artists are strong, we had indeed become the targets for many countries in the past Hidden Dragon Duels. This time, as we have the home advantage, I say we should take it back.” Shi Chanxin said while walking.
“That"s right. As long as we meet foreign experts, we"ll show them what we"ve got.”
“In this first level, everyone is an enemy except we Celestial Empire people.”
“Ferocius had it right. This is a big ma.s.s fight indeed, so don"t be soft on the enemies.”
The others echoed.
“There"s still another person who"s our enemy.”
Shi Chanxin said, “You know Liu Feng, right? I wanted to unite more Celestial Empire experts to pa.s.s the first level, but he destroyed my plan. That"s the reason why we only have a few people in our union. If we meet him…”
“Then we will kill him!”
“That"s right. We are led by you Brother Shi. Your enemy is our enemy too!”
“Even though we are in Wudang Mountain, if Wu Tang Su Mo displeases our Brother Shi, we"ll still do what should be done.”
The few experts with Shi Chanxin expressed their feelings about it immediately. Shi Chanxin was quite satisfied, and a cold arc appeared on his corners of the month.
“I am looking for Liu Feng with all my strength. I have agreed with him to fight until death at the Hidden Dragon Duel. Our only chance is to fight him as a group.”
At the same time, in another part of the forest, Ahmad was striding with a group of West Asiea experts. He said while walking, “When we start the fight with Liu Feng, n.o.body backs off. If Liu Feng stays alive, we could never win good places at the Duel.”
“Yes!” The West Asiea experts nodded their heads.
In the mountain forests, there were people everywhere. When they first headed for the mountain, it was hard to scatter as there were too many people. However, it seemed like a mutual understanding that no one started fighting immediately.
Until ten minutes later, shadows in the forest had become scarcer.
Puff!
As a blade waved by, a young man in black rushed out from behind a tree. Behind him was a body with both hands on his neck slamming towards the ground.
“Time is almost up. The slaughter begins!” The murderer placed his katana in front of his face and licked the blood on its tip. He grimly smiled and said, “Liu Feng, are you the one who killed Dongze? I"ll avenge him. I will not let you pa.s.s the first level.”
Swish! Swish… puff!
In another part of the forest, there was also a battle outbreak. A dark shadow leaped from the ground covered with dead leaves, and the katana in his hand slashed out continuously.
Immediately, two blood lines burst, and a headless body fell to the ground.
But the other one had not died yet. One of his arms had been cut off as he quickly retreated, “Despicable Ninja! No, you"re not here for the Hidden Dragon Duel. You are over the force dispersing level.”
“That"s right. Every sentence is right.”
The Nihon Ninja who suddenly appeared held tight to his katana and attacked again. As he quickly swerved the attack, he said, “But you know too much.”
The voices fell while the katana swung. A head with a terrified expression flew into the air.
After killing the man, the Ninja left with the katana in his hand, leaving only a cold and terrible voice, “Yama Liu, this is the sincerity of us Yamaguchi-gumi. I came here only to kill the Celestial Empire experts until I kill you.”
