For Liu Feng, the matches progressed more smoothly than for Liu Man. He did not utterly defeat the opponent.
Instead, he gave them a chance. He did not look like an undefeatable monster who no one could win against.
All the participants felt like they had a chance, and they were itching to try and fight. They couldn't defeat the monster, but they could try and defeat the monster's sidekick.
Match after match passed, but no one could do a thing though. Liu Feng did not seem the least bit exhausted, while his opponent had already lost. This was number nineteen.
The opponent left the stage, and it was going to be Liu Feng's last match on the stage. Everyone hesitated. Whoever ca on the stage now would be the reason that the second boundary stone would be lost.
In the younger generation, everyone knew each other. But no one knew Liu Feng and Liu Man. And seeing them about to obtain the boundary stones that everybody coveted was not a pretty sign.
Finally, one person behind at the very end of the area designated for White Tiger Cave stood up. Everyone looked at him with a degree of respect, telling Liu Feng that this was soone powerful, at least according to them.
He looked at the person who was coming and smiled.
"Teng Jie, here to exchange pointers." the man said as he got on the stage.
"Liu Feng." Liu Feng nodded, and he put his right hand forward, taking a defensive stance.
Teng Jie took out his sword, and looked at Liu Feng wierdly. Throughout the last nineteen fights, not once did Liu Feng use a weapon. He won that effortlessly.
"Are you not going to use a weapon?" Teng Jie asked.
"If I can't win, then I can't win. There is nothing else to say. Please, co at ." Liu Feng smiled.
Teng Jie's expression didn't change like the ones before him. He was calm, and carefully approached Liu Feng.
But this was the last fight. Liu Feng no longer needed to wait and try and fish out opponents.
His body turned illusory, and he suddenly appeared behind Teng Jie. An icicle was pressed against his neck, and just like with every single one of Liu Man's fights, blood dripped down slightly.
Any further, and Liu Feng had the chance to kill, or seriously injure Teng Jie.
"You lose." Liu Feng said softly.
"What?" Teng Jie's face was filled with disbelief. He thought that he had a chance. Until now, based on what he saw, as long as he was careful, he had a chance to defeat this man.
But apparently, he was just hiding his power? He was actually as strong as the monster who stood before him?
"Another has reached the milestone of twenty wins! It appears as though we have another winner." the announcer called out.
Ping!
[Host can completed the story quest]
[Host has levelled up]
[Host has gained one minor realm of cultivation]
Liu Feng disregarded all of that and looked at the sect leader. He nodded at him, making it clear what he wanted.
"Another winner. The reward is yours." the sect leader stood up and smiled. Another pitch black rock appeared in Liu Feng's hands, and Liu Feng left the stage, looking at Liu Man.
"I did it. Are you happy now? So then, when do we leave? Do you want to wait till it's all over? I am guessing not." Liu Feng asked Liu Man.
"You know the answer. I need to get out of this place. Co with ." Liu Man said, and he disappeared. Liu Feng also swiftly disappeared. Only the powerful Soul Evolution Stage cultivators here could see which direction they went in.
As for the younger generation, they couldn't even see their silhouettes!
They looked around, confused. The two were gone, as if they were ghosts.
And if they didn't know any better, they would think that all of this was just a dream, and that the martial gathering was going to start right now.
Miles from the city, in a plain wasteland, Liu Feng and Liu Man had the two boundary stones in their hands.
They were pouring an incredible amount of Qi into it, making the runes on the stone glow. The stones created a thin pillar that went up to the sky, and touched it, forming a whole there as well.
"Be careful. The mont you leave, take note of your surroundings, and try to land on the ground eventually. You might fall in the sky after all." Liu Feng warned.
"Yes. I'll be careful alright. I'll be careful." Liu Feng sighed.
"And the mont that you return to the real world, it signals you as a cultivator. You might have to face a few blasts of tribulation again." Liu Man warned.
"What? But I had to go through that in the Forest of Dreams!" Liu Feng cursed.
"I don't make the rules. The heavens do. Now then. et you on the other side." Liu Man smiled, and he suddenly disappeared.
Liu Feng also felt a slight attraction pulling him away from the ground. He gave in, and the next mont, he was in the sky, flying towards the seeming crack that the boundary stone created.
He left the crack, and the sky once again, returned back to normal, like nothing happened. Two rocks fell from the sky, and onto the ground.
These rocks were absolute trash, and they had used up everything inside of them.
Scrape!
The sound of tal screeching on the hard land echoed throughout this deserted wasteland.
An old man with a wheelbarrow ca up to the rocks and tossed them into his own. He then looked up at the sky and smiled.
"He returned, has he? Looks like there is going to be turmoil then."
