Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

He struggled to understand why the black shadow wanted to kill him. If he wanted his medal, then he could have given it to him. Suddenly, he remembered what Si Qing had said—only the strong could survive!

The black shadow moved through the forest of stone like it was its own backyard. He was one of the fighters from the banquet that night, the dwarf. His expression seemed as relaxed as if he had just crushed an ant.

It was a battle that his victory was originally guaranteed in, but he ended up losing, directly allowing Li Qingshan to choose an advantageous battleground for the final battle. He was believed to be the reason for their defeat, so he suffered severe punishment from Si Qing. He felt furious inside, so he was especially vicious when he struck.

Very soon, he arrived at the centre of the forest of stone. A few people were already waiting there. Every single one of them was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and they all gave off a faint aura of murderousness. Their leader happened to the scarred man who wielded the high grade arcane artifact, the Earth Shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions.

The dwarf asked, “How’s the prey?”

“He’s still on the snow mountain. He hasn’t moved yet.”

The scarred man’s eyes seemed to be able to see through space, allowing him to see Li Qingshan’s location. As the owner of this Dragon Arena, it was far too easy for Si Qing to cheat.

They had a total of three missions this time. The first was to provoke the cultivators into killing each other, the second was to take back as many medals as possible, and the last was to kill Li Qingshan. They were relatively confident with the first two missions, while the last mission was the most troublesome.

“Is he the person they’re converging towards?”

“No, the cultivators of the Clear River prefecture haven’t approached him. They’re gathering around another person. He seems to be the only one there as if he’s waiting for us!”

“Waiting for us! We have nineteen Foundation Establishment cultivators. Doesn’t he know?”

“Perhaps it’s exactly because he knows that he’s chosen to remain there, wanting to deal with us all alone. It’s like what his highness had guessed. He’s an arrogant bastard!”

The scarred man swung his Earth Shattering Hammer of the Eight Directions viciously, striking the ground with a great boom. The ground shook and fierce winds filled the surroundings.

“He’s probably treating us like the trash from the school of Novels!”

A cold, sinister light flashed through the dwarf’s eyes. He had witnessed Li Qingshan’s battle against eight other people, but he did not find it particularly impressive. He alone could slaughter eight pieces of trash who did not know how to fight at all.

“He’s underestimating us, but that’s for the best. I’ll definitely smash him into mince meat!”



“When do we set off?”

“Wait until everyone has assembled. That was his highness’ orders!”

No one dared to defy Si Qing’s orders, so they waited in the forest of stone, preparing to gather all of their strength and tear Li Qingshan to shreds. As for the several hundred Qi Practitioners who were relatively weaker under Si Qing and the others’ command, they had already entered this huge, chaotic battle, making sure to stir up a lot of turmoil.

Hua Chenglu raised her head and looked around, but she could not see the sky. Layers above layers of leaves completely blocked off the light. The surroundings were as dark as night. She took out the glazed ball and began travelling in the direction of the needle before suddenly halting.

“Come out!”

There was a rustle in the tree canopy, and a man in black flew down. A sliver of surprise flashed through his eyes. There were plenty of pretty women among cultivators, but such great beauty was rare. However, he immediately recovered his composure and said coldly.

“Hand over your medal!”

Hua Chenglu frowned. The enemy was a tenth layer Qi Practitioner, far more powerful than her. And, from the way he was dressed, he should have been Si Qing’s subordinate, so he was probably even more difficult to deal with than regular tenth layer Qi Practitioners.

The man in black was not expecting to obtain her medal with just that. Right when he was about to strike, an item flew towards him. It was not fast, so he caught it with ease. It was exactly the medal he wanted, which left him surprised.

“Take it and move aside!”

Hua Chenglu had never really cared about the value of the medals. Let alone a thousand spiritual stones, even if they were worth ten thousand spiritual stones, so what? If Si Qing had not passed an order with his identity as the Marquis of Ruyi and made all the disciples of the academy take part, Hua Chengzan would have never let her set foot in this Dragon Arena.

If she began fighting here, it would definitely attract a lot of attention. Her priority was still to gather with everyone else. She could always find her lost medal again.

“Hold on! Your hundred treasures pouch too!” The man in black’s lips curled. The cultivators of the Ruyi commandery sure are naive. It’s no wonder his highness wants us to teach them a lesson.





Chapter 636: A Bunch of Trash | Legend of the Great Sage




“You want to rob me?”

Hua Chenglu’s frown deepened. The dark, moist jungle suddenly became lurking with killing intent. The twisted, gnarled roots and vines that draped down from above all sprung alive like snakes.

This was a wood element cultivator. He smiled. “Who knows whether you’re hiding medals or not!”

“I just came in here, so how am I supposed to have a second medal?” Hua Chenglu was furious, and she noticed that the situation was rather wrong. If he were a regular cultivator, he would not have badgered her anymore after obtaining her medal.

“I need to check just in case. If you refuse, I’ll have to take action. Of course, I’ll have to look through your body too.” The cultivator in black licked his lips and smiled with ill intention.

“Go die!” Hua Chenglu took out a scarlet talisman. It turned into a raging ball of fire and rushed towards the cultivator in black. The vines and roots hissed from the heat, all receding.

Boom! Fire rushed through the canopy of leaves. A flower of flames bloomed in the endless sea of trees.

……

After saying that, Si Qing directly waved his hand, and the images that displayed the situation inside the Dragon Arena vanished. The Dragon Arena had completely become a sealed-off black box.

“Your highness, how can you say that? Aren’t you basically asking for our cultivation community of the Ruyi commandery to kill one another?”

An old man in violet was surprised and furious on the Soaring Clouds terrace, questioning Si Qing loudly. The other Golden Core cultivators changed in expression as well, unable to understand what benefit Si Qing could derive from this.

Not only had the regular cultivators failed to anticipate that danger might have existed in the Dragon Arena, even these Golden Core cultivators had never expected it. A desperate battle like this would drastically diminish the strength of the cultivation community in the Ruyi commandery, and it would make Si Qing lose all of his prestige. He had to cough up tremendous amounts of resources too. There was basically only detriment.

Without the knowledge of how an Asura Field was refined, even the most clever people in the world could not guess Si Qing’s intentions, let alone imagine he would make a decision like this.
