Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 135 - Deceiving the Weak with the Strong

Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Deceiving the Weak with the Strong

“Sect Master!” Nong Yongrui, Peng Feng, Chu Xiaotian, and others hastily called out.

If they started a full-scale war with Kuangsha Sect, it could very well lead to the destruction of White Cloud Sect, for in terms of higher realm fighters, Kuangsha Sect had five more warriors in the Other Shore Realm than White Cloud Sect.

This gap was quite astonishing.

“Although Shi Hao’s martial arts talent is remarkable, his rebellious nature will sooner or later bring disaster to our sect. It’s better to expel him sooner rather than later,” Chu Xiaotian suggested. He didn’t care whether Shi Hao’s arms were cut off, as long as he could force out the secrets the other man possessed.

Therefore, no matter the perspective, he was naturally determined to kick Shi Hao out of the sect.

Bao Dongsheng snorted, “Others are trying to ride roughshod over us, can we just cower in fear?”

...

Internal conflicts could be dealt with after returning, but with an external enemy at the gates, how could they infight?

Bao Dongsheng was very angry at the moment, both because of the humiliation suffered and the disunity within the sect.

“Bao Dongsheng, are you sure about this?” Fu Yang, Sect Master of Kuangsha Sect, said with his fighting spirit blazing.

He was deeply aware of the power of a Spiritual Artifact. They already held an advantage in high-end combat power—if they could obtain another Spiritual Artifact, they could even suppress Tianhai Sect and become the world’s foremost power.

“What’s there to think about? If you want to fight, then let’s fight!” declared Bao Dongsheng with boundless pride.

If he showed weakness now, White Cloud Sect would never be able to hold its head high in front of the other three major sects again.

Would they even have any face left?

“Sect Master Bao, it’s just a mere disciple. Why escalate to the point of armed conflict?” Lu Ying, the Great Elder of Kuangsha Sect, also advised.

In truth, they did not want to go to all-out war with White Cloud Sect either, since even if they could win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. Wouldn’t that just benefit Leihuo Sect and Tianhai Sect for free?

You see, these two sects haven’t said a word, aren’t they just watching the fire from the other side, waiting to take advantage of the situation?

“Haha, you demand a disciple of our sect right in front of me—do you really think I have no temper?” Bao Dongsheng said grimly.

“Bao Dongsheng, are you really willing to go all in for a mere disciple?” Fu Yang also said in a deep voice.

Bao Dongsheng was about to speak when he saw Shi Hao step forward.

“You Kuangsha Sect keep saying that I used despicable means to kill Ma Youlin, haha, how ridiculous. Such trash, I could smash to pieces with a single punch,” Shi Hao said lightly, yet his face was filled with arrogance, showing utmost confidence.

He couldn’t hold back anymore and wanted to defend himself.

“How audacious!” Yi Hezhi immediately made a move, waving his sleeve and striking towards Shi Hao from afar.

Hm?

“Hmph!” Wei Tao also made a motion with his palm, intercepting Yi Hezhi’s attack.

Both sides were clearly striking from a distance, yet the air exploded violently, creating waves of force radiating outwards.

Dark Force!

Shi Hao was surprised; both were using Dark Force.

Looking at Bao Dongsheng and the rest, none showed any sign of shock. Clearly, Dark Force must be standard among Other Shore powerhouses.

Yet he had possessed it since breaking through the tenth extreme!

This comparison highlighted just how earth-shattering breaking through the tenth extreme was, granting him an Other Shore Realm’s method of attack while still in the Breaking the Extreme state.

“When did it become your turn to discipline a disciple of my White Cloud Sect?” Wei Tao said coldly, full of arrogance.

This action gave the White Cloud Sect disciples the chills, feeling a boost to their morale that left them extremely excited.

But Chu Xiaotian and the others frowned; if the situation worsened, that would be problematic.

Fu Yang, however, looked at Bao Dongsheng and said, “Your disciple seems quite arrogant! How about I pick a few people to come out and play with this young man?”

Bao Dongsheng was unsure of Shi Hao’s strength and was about to refuse when he saw Ban Wenshan, Sect Master of Tianhai Sect, step forward and say, “Since this young man is so confident, why not let everyone witness his ability?”

Seeing Ban Wenshan speaking up, Bao Dongsheng found it difficult to refuse.

It didn’t matter to challenge Kuangsha Sect head-on, as even they feared getting dragged into a quagmire, significantly weakening themselves, and eventually allowing Tianhai Sect to reap the benefits.

But now that Tianhai Sect had also gotten involved, the situation was different.

If the two sects joined forces and wiped out White Cloud Sect, what then?

He looked at Shi Hao, who nodded at him.

“Fine,” he agreed.

“Xiang Zhengqing, come here,” Fu Yang started to call the shots.

“Sect Master,” a robust man in his thirties stepped forward, bowing to Fu Yang first.

“Fu Yang, this man has reached the second stage of Soul Nurturing, hasn’t he?” Bao Dongsheng could not help but express his fury.

Sending a second stage to fight against a first stage, isn’t that blatantly bullying?

Fu Yang simply spread his hands: “Among my disciples, there are no more at the first stage. Just make do for now. By the way, Xiang Zhengqing, be careful when you strike. Don’t kill him.”

However, Xiang Zhengqing understood clearly. Although the Sect Master said not to kill, what he really meant was the opposite.

But!

“Sect Master, that person has a Spiritual Artifact in his hand. This isn’t fair!” he protested.

“Hmm!” Fu Yang nodded, turning to Shi Hao, “Hand over the Spiritual Artifact to me!”

Ni ma, why don’t you just rob me?

Shi Hao considered for a moment, approached Bao Dongsheng, passed Ninefold Mountain to him, and said, “Sect Master, please keep this safe for your disciple.”

Handing over the blade to Bao Dongsheng had another purpose—if things really kicked off with Kuangsha Sect, having the Ninefold Mountain would enhance Bao Dongsheng’s strength, akin to a tiger growing wings. As for the Snow Gleaming Sword, it could be entirely entrusted to the Great Elder to wield.

With the deterrence of two Spiritual Artifacts, just ask Kuangsha Sect if they feared.

Bao Dongsheng showed a trace of approval. Shi Hao had not clung to the Spiritual Artifact but had judged the situation adroitly, making the most correct choice.

If so, this young man’s insistence on fighting showed he must have confidence.

Fu Yang’s gaze swept over, unable to hide his greed.

He did indeed possess a Spiritual Artifact called the Black Serpent Whip, which, when activated, allowed the entire whip to emit black flames with tremendous destructive power of Breaking the Extreme.

But compared with Ninefold Mountain, the difference was vast.

Just the fact that Ninefold Mountain contained two Runes meant it completely overpower the Black Serpent Whip.

He must seize it.

Xiang Zhengqing took a bold step forward, bearing a chilling look towards Shi Hao, “Kid, come on!”

Although Shi Hao had been impressive all around and even secured the final first place, that was all thanks to the Ninefold Mountain.

In terms of true strength, ha, how could a first stage Soul Nurturer compare with a second stage?

Shi Hao, however, raised a hand to stop him, saying, “Fist and foot lack eyes. If I accidentally kill you, won’t you guys start complaining again?”

Xiang Zhengqing couldn’t help but laugh: “If you can kill me, that’s your skill!”

“Your word counts for nothing,” Shi Hao scoffed, his gaze shifting to Fu Yang.

This young man had quite the gall.

Fu Yang huffed, “This fight will not be limited by life or death!”

“Kid, are you satisfied now?” Xiang Zhengqing said coldly. In his view, Shi Hao was merely delaying, which was a sign of being afraid.

Shi Hao beckoned with his fingers, full of contempt.
