Chapter 117 117

"Huh? Why did Tenku choose a sword as his weapon? Wasn't he a spear user?" Wang Ruyue was confused and worried when she saw that. Apart from her, Wang Zeming and the spectators also felt the same way.

Tenku always uses a spear in every match; they think his skill lies in that weapon. If he suddenly switched to a sword, he might be unable to bring out his full power. Only Huang Yuxin in that place knew that Tenku's swordsmanship was not inferior to his spear art because she had fought him before.

Wang Ruyue had heard stories about Tenku and Huang Yuxin's sparring, but she didn't know that he wielded a sword. Because of that, she thought that Tenku was only skilled with spears. Huang Yuxin smiled and was happy because she learned what Wang Ruyue didn't know from Tenku.

"Please calm down, Ruyue. I'm sure he has a plan for that. Didn't you hear what he said before leaving this place? So we have to believe in what he's doing." Huang Yuxin said to Wang Ruyue.

"Miss Huang is right. There's no point in us worrying about it. We can only believe in him and pray that he can win this match." Wang Zeming added.

He could understand if Wang Zeming said those words because they represented the Wang family. But Huang Yuxin, who had been silent all along, suddenly opened her mouth to show her trust in Tenku. Wang Ruyue felt that the girl knew something. But she refrained from asking it now that the match had started.

Tenku stood in the arena in a triangle with Gu Qingyang and Lin Zhantian at the other corner. Even though Jin Zhaohui had already signaled the start of the match, neither of the two geniuses attacked first.

Gu Qingyang's eyes focused on Tenku and showed great hatred towards him, while Lin Zhantian looked at his two opponents calmly. Usually, he would use a swift slash to defeat his opponent in one strike. But he had to be more careful in this match because there were two opponents.

If Lin Zhantian slashed his sword at one of them, the other might attack him from behind. He couldn't underestimate any of them since both of them were strong.

"Since this is the final round, I think it's fine to show a bit of my strength. After all, fighting two geniuses from major families would be troublesome if I only relied on my cultivation base at the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm. In that case, I will use more of my strength in this match." Tenku smiled, and his cultivation base rocketed from the middle stage to the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm.

"Huh!"

"What!?"

Lin Zhantian and Gu Qingyang opened their eyes wide when they felt Tenku's cultivation base suddenly increase drastically. Not only them but everyone watching the match, except for Wang Haotian, was shocked by Tenku's strength.

"You hid your cultivation base?" Lin Zhantian narrowed his eyes at Tenku. Even though he felt cheated by their bet, he didn't overthink it because he was sure he could beat Tenku with his swordsmanship.

"So what if your cultivation base rises by two minor realms? I can still step on you like an ant." Gu Qingyang said arrogantly.

"You talk too much. Doesn't one of you intend to attack first? If not, then I will do it." Tenku compressed the Qi in his sword and swung it at the two people in the arena.

Tenku slashed four blades of Qi manifestation, two at Lin Zhantian and the other two at Gu Qingyang.

"Sword Qi!" Lin Zhantian and Gu Qingyang said simultaneously, and their faces became severe.

Gu Qingyang moved from where he stood to dodge the attack while Lin Zhantian slashed his sword against it.

Boom! boom!

Lin Zhantian's Sword Qi clashed with Tenku's, creating a tremendous impact.

"It's dangerous!" Zhantian became alert when he realized that Tenku's figure had disappeared from his sight. He thought his opponent would appear nearby because they were making a bet and the other side wanted to beat him immediately. But what he thought was wrong because Tenku attacked Gu Qingyang first.

"Do you think you can win against me with a strong body and sword Qi? You are dreaming!" Gu Qingyang snorted coldly and swung his sword at the Tenku that had suddenly appeared to his left. He managed to hit it but what he slashed was an afterimage as the real Tenku appeared behind Lin Zhantian.

"So fast!" Lin Zhantian's face sank when he saw Tenku close the distance with him instantly. He was a little surprised because Tenku suddenly appeared behind him without him noticing. Then Tenku compressed the Qi in his sword and gave Lin Zhantian consecutive slashes.

Thousands of Slashes!

Tenku used one of the moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique that Wang Zeming had used against Lin Zhantian.

"Humph! Do you think you can hurt me with an attack like that? Did you learn nothing from my fight against Wang Zeming?" Lin Zhantian said and delivered successive thrusts toward Tenku.

Sword Rain!

Clank! Clank! Clank!

"What!?" Lin Zhantian was shocked because he was knocked back and injured by Tenku's attack. He felt that the techniques released by his opponent were far heavier, faster, and sharper than Wang Zeming's.

Tenku wanted to chase after Lin Zhantian, but he suddenly raised his eyebrows and quickly moved from that place.

Slash!

A sword fell right where Tenku was standing earlier, and the one who attacked him was Gu Qingyang. The match was no longer a battle between three people but two against one.

"You're fast enough to dodge. If so, how about this one?" Gu Qingyang sneered and compressed a large amount of Qi in his sword. He brandished it, and a gigantic sword manifestation of Qi appeared above him. Then Gu Qingyang swung it at Tenku.

Evil King Slash!

Tenku's face didn't change when he saw the gigantic sword of Qi falling at him at high speed. He condensed the aura on his weapon and slashed successively at Gu Qingyang's attacks.

Tactical Rapid Slash!

Tenku shot tens of sword Qi toward Gu Qingyang's attack. Initially, the gigantic sword of Qi manifestation fell with tremendous momentum. But after Tenku bombarded it with aura blades, the attack was pushed back and cracked.

Crack!

After that, the giant sword shattered into particles and disappeared.

"What!?" Gu Qingyang was shocked by the sight before him but quickly regained his senses and wanted to give Tenku another attack. Unfortunately, his opponent had disappeared.

"Where is he going?" Gu Qingyang looked around but couldn't find him. That meant Tenku had no intention of attacking him and changed his target to Lin Zhantian.

Tenku did not continue his attack on Gu Qingyang because he sensed Lin Zhantian was condensing a large amount of Qi. He had to prevent his opponent from unleashing that attack.

If Tenku had fought at his full strength, he could have finished the match in less than five minutes. But he couldn't show all his trump cards in front of many people, especially those old monsters from the Gu family.

When Tenku appeared in front of Lin Zhantian, the other party was compressing his Qi in his sword. Tenku frowned because he felt that the attack was quite dangerous. Moreover, he also realized that Gu Qingyang was chasing him at a terrifying speed.

"This is troublesome. Do I have to increase my strength a little more? A genius from a major family who can enter the finals of a martial arts competition is indeed different from an ordinary cultivator." Tenku sighed and hastened his steps towards Lin Zhantian. But before he could bring himself any closer, Lin Zhantian noticed his presence and quickly released his technique.

Divine Sword Petals!

Lin Zhantian slashed his sword and released an aura blade. It looked different from his previous sword Qi. Tenku wanted to fight the attack head-on and defeat Lin Zhantian immediately. He needed to take down one of the two quickly because fighting them all at once was quite tricky with his current strength. Tenku chose Lin Zhantian because defeating him first would achieve one of his goals.

Tenku swung her sword at the blade's aura that came at her. But when his weapon came into contact with it, Lin Zhantian's attack suddenly shattered and turned into thousands of flower petals scattered throughout the arena. Tenku reflexively avoided it, but he was too late, and another petal slightly cut her sleeve.

"Those flower petals are also sword Qi in a small form?" Tenku muttered and looked around. The flower petals almost covered the entire place and did not leave any space.

In other words, Lin Zhantian's attacks ranged across the entire arena. He can attack his opponent from anywhere using those flower petals.

"I have to beat him soon." Tenku increased his speed and approached Lin Zhantian while dodging the flower petals raining down on him.

On the other hand, Gu Qingyang suddenly stopped in his tracks because Lin Zhantian had also attacked him with those flower petals. He quickly dodged it and slashed at another petal that came from behind.

After all, the two were opponents in the match, and Lin Zhantian had never intended to team up with Gu Qingyang to fight Tenku. If he won in such a way, his heart as a swordsman would be broken, and he might stop progressing in cultivation or swordsmanship.

"Lin Zhantian. Originally I would take care of you after I destroyed that boy. But you seem impatient. In that case, I will defeat both of you at once!" Gu Qingyang said coldly, and his cultivation base at the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm exploded from his body.

Boooooooooommmmmm!

The flower petals around Gu Qingyang were blown away and created a space in the arena. He glared at Lin Zhantian and slashed his sword.

Evil King Slash!

Gu Qingyang released a gigantic sword manifestation of Qi towards Lin Zhantian but was blocked by the surrounding flower petals, and decreased his attack speed.

Booommmmmm!

The attack left a deep scar on the arena, but Lin Zhantian dodged it. Tenku didn't waste his chance as the flower petals scattered from the impact of the gigantic sword Qi. He swiftly closed the distance with Lin Zhantian and slashed his sword just as his opponent dodged Gu Qingyang's attack.
