I Was Forced To Marry The Phoenix Empress-Chapter 143: Wei Tian’s Match

BAM!

Cough! Cough!

Feng Wu slammed on his back and coughed up a large pool of blood.

Gritting his teeth, he attempted to stand up. Even though his Qi pool was exhausted, his spirit to not let the clan down burned vividly in his eyes.

"Not so fast!" The Fifth Level Cultivator from the Kai clan exclaimed with a sadistic grin and, using a movement technique, instantly reached just a few inches from Feng Wu’s body.

Crack!

The next instant, a heavy blow targeted Feng Wu’s sides as the sound of the cracking of ribs rang in his ears.

Intense pain coursed through his nerves, making him black out in mid-air as his unconscious body slammed and tumbled on the ground outside the fighting stage.

"Out of Bounds! Fifth Win!" The Imperial Envoy declared as the arena was swallowed in cheers.

As for Feng Wu, his body was sent to be treated by the management staff.

The members of the Feng Clan who were watching this from their stands had grim expressions on their faces.

Meanwhile, on the Kai Clan’s stands, Kai Hu’s previously darkened countenance had finally recovered with this result.

"Next Challenger! Arrive on the Stage!"

Hearing the Imperial Envoy’s words, Kai Hu was about to stand up when he was stopped by He Sun.

"Brother Hu, it’s still too early for you to go," He Sun said with a smirk and stood up.

"Brother Sun’s our benefactor, so how could I allow you to fight firs-," Kai Hu reasoned, but stopped when he saw He Sun shaking his head.

"That won’t do, Brother Hu, the last match should always be intriguing and decisive. What better could be than the two representatives battling in the final match?

It would not only help solidify the Kai Clan’s dominance as a new Major Clan but also make up for the previous losses you suffered."

"This..." Kai Hu hesitated for a second before nodding, "Brother Sun really thinks many steps ahead...as a means to thank you after the match is over, how about I offer you a drink at the Violet Cloud Pavilion?"

"Brother Hu better not go back on his words," He Sun’s eyes glimmered with surprise, which was followed by anticipation when he heard those words.

"Haha, I won’t dare, Brother Sun, I won’t dare," Kai Hu chuckled in a satisfied manner when he heard this response.

’I might end up losing all my savings, but deepening my ties with someone like him is well worth it...’ Kai Hu thought in his mind.

Satisfied with Kai Hu’s promise, He Sun soon left for the fighting stage.

"Choose your opponent!" The Imperial Envoy said while pointing towards the topmost area of the Feng Clan’s stands.

Feng Ning and Wei Tian were sitting side by side at this moment with a solemn expression on their faces.

Matching his gaze with Wei Tian, a grin formed on He Sun’s face, and he gestured towards him with curled fingers.

"Come."

Wei Tian snorted when he saw his mocking actions and stood up from his seat.

"Good luck, Brother Wei..." Feng Ning said in an attempt to cheer him up.

"Yes, I got this. Don’t worry," Wei Tian said confidently, which soon relieved Feng Ning’s worries. A few seconds later, he arrived at the stage. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Fight!"

The Imperial Envoy declared, and the match between the two Sixth Level Cultivators finally ensued.

However, instead of fighting, the two were still standing in their positions while closely observing each other.

"Give up," He Sun said all of a sudden. A confident smile was apparent on his face.

"We have not even started yet!" A clear rebuke came from Wei Tian’s side as he said with gritted teeth.

Not wanting to be the first one to attack, he had been waiting for He Sun to launch the first strike.

"Looks like you’ve still not realised," He Sun said while shaking his head and continued, "I’ve already refined 275 of my meridians and am just five meridians away from reaching the Seventh Level.

You are still far away from me, right? In addition to that, no matter what martial techniques you were able to get your hands on from the Feng Clan, you still have not gotten enough time to familiarise yourself with them...have you?"

A teasing expression appeared on He Sun’s face when he finished those words.

"This..." A frown developed on Wei Tian’s face when he heard those words. It was exactly as he had said.

Seeing that he has hit the nail on the head, He Sun continued while snickering, "With such half-baked techniques, you still dare to stand in front of me? He Sun?!"

The moment he finished those words, dense strings of deep blue Qi floated over his head, and the next instant, a towering wave revealed above him.

"...What do you want?" Seeing that instead of attacking him with the technique, He Sun was trying to intimidate him, Wei Tian realised that there was more to it.

"It’s good that you’re smart," He Sun stopped his technique and the next instant the huge wave disappeared like it was never there.

Just when Wei Tian was about to use that chance to attempt a sneak attack, He Sun threw something towards him.

"Good catch," He Sun chuckled when he saw Wei Tian quickly catching what he had thrown at his face.

’What’s this...’

The question had just appeared in Wei Tian’s mind when He Sun’s words entered his ears.

Not wanting to keep it hidden from the audience, He Sun deliberately raised his voice as he said it.

"That’s a medallion from the He Clan. Give up on the match, and we’ll take you in. A Sixth Level Cultivator is always welcomed by our He Clan."

The spectators couldn’t help but turn quiet at this development as murmurs spread all around the arena, starting the next second.

Not minding this development, He Sun continued.

"Why still fight for the Feng Clan? After I defeat you, we’ll still have five more attempts to take down your representative.

Even if luck stays on her and she’s able to win against us one time, it won’t do so again.

Therefore, save me from uselessly wasting my energy and just accept the medallion, you understand?"

He Sun advised.

Originally, he had planned to defeat him directly, but after hearing Kai Hu’s proposal to take him to the Violet Cloud Pavilion, his plan changed.

’If I get exhausted because of this match, then I will be unable to fully enjoy the delicacies which the Violet Cloud Pavilion has to offer...’

He Sun thought as depravity momentarily shone in his eyes.

Meanwhile, on the Feng Clan’s stands, things had turned chaotic and full of uncertainty.

Feng Ning: "!!!"

When she heard those terms, Feng Ning couldn’t help but start panicking.

’Will he betray us...will he really join their side...’

Logically, their clan was indeed in a very dire situation, so the more she thought over it, the quicker her heart rate became.

’Of course he’ll accept it! Handsome men can never be trusted!’ Yi Chen snorted in his mind when he witnessed the scene and, with his eyes plastered on Wei Tian’s contemplative expression, waited for the inevitable to happen.

"You said that I can join your clan?" Wei Tian asked.

"Yes, so hurry up and accept it. I might change my mind if you delay it any longer."

Sensing that Wei Tian seemed to have made the obvious decision, He Sun tried to hasten things up. However, just then, a frown formed on his face when he noticed Wei Tian.

A smile had appeared on Wei Tian’s face. A smile filled with ridicule.

"You want me to join your little clan, which does not even have a history of a hundred years and betray the Feng clan? In your dreams!"

The very next instant, the medallion in his hand was burnt to cinders.

"Oh...he refused." Yi Chen couldn’t help but feel his face turning hotter the next second.

"He refused!"

Meanwhile, a tearful expression filled with both relief and joy had formed on Feng Ning’s face the next instant.

As for He Sun, his countenance had turned extremely dark, and his breathing started to intensify greatly.

A sense of extreme shame and humiliation hijacked his mind soon after, and he soon lost his ability to think rationally.

"Good! Good! Good!" He Sun repeated thrice as dense blue Qi began violently circulating out of his body, and the next instant, he roared, "Then Die!"

A wave as tall as twenty meters dwarfed Wei Tian the very next second, and not waiting for him to react, rolled towards him.

This attack contained all of He Sun’s Innate Qi, so it was nothing to scoff at.

"!!!"

Wei Tian, who was about to be crushed under this mammoth wave, had all his hair standing on its ends. Without wasting a single moment, he circulated his innate Qi with all his might.

’Sphere of Fire!’

He exclaimed in his mind, and the next instant, his innate Qi enclosed his body fully and formed a dense spherical shield of fire around him.

As the massive wave approached closer and closer to him, Wei Tian furiously channelled all his innate Qi to support his defensive technique.

SLAM!

The water slammed onto the shield with great intensity, the very next instant. While some of it changed to steam instantly, the majority kept pressing onto the fire shield more and more.

Kreeke...

Kreee...

Sounds of weakening rang in Wei Tian’s ears as he struggled to maintain the shield with whatever little Qi he was left with.

’A little more...just a little more...’

He was hoping for this onslaught of water to finally end so he could retaliate against He Sun, who would be considerably weakened after such a powerful attack.

However, things don’t always go the way we want them to.

Krrack!

The shield of fire broke the very next instant, and a crushing weight not only violently slammed Wei Tian onto the fighting stage but also swept him off the stage.

When the water settled, Wei Tian’s battered and unconscious body became visible for everyone to see.
