Divine Emperor Demon Emperor

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Trash

Though injured from his defeat, the disciple from Flawless Palace had a look of pure fury on his face.

As the one fighting, he had felt it firsthand: the Taiqing Academy disciple had taken an elixir. In a ring match like this, it was an utterly despicable act.

”You...” Pointing at the Taiqing Academy disciple, the one from Flawless Palace tried to speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he coughed up another spray of blood.

”Worthless trash,” he said, giving the Flawless Palace disciple a look of contempt. With that, the man turned and walked off the stage. The Blood Burst Pill wouldn’t last long, and he needed to find a place to meditate and recover.

As another disciple helped him back onto the viewing platform, the injured man was about to explain the situation to Lin Yun, but Lin Yun simply waved a hand. ”Focus on your recovery. There’s no need to say anything else.”

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the disciple could only swallow what he was about to say.

None of the Flawless Palace disciples looked pleased. They all knew there had been foul play in the last match. In contrast, the Core Disciples of Taiqing Academy all wore mocking smiles, as if to say how utterly weak the Flawless Palace disciples were.

The match ended, and soon after, another Taiqing Academy disciple leaped onto the stage. He looked toward Wei Yunhang and declared loudly, ”Brother Wei, I too would like to have a friendly spar with a disciple from Flawless Palace.”

Indeed, this person was also one of Brother Feng’s subordinates. Before stepping onto the stage, he too had swallowed a Blood Burst Pill.

Hearing another challenge, one of the Flawless Palace disciples, already seething with anger, leaped down from the viewing platform before Lin Yun could even nod his approval. This one was a Direct Disciple.

The man from Taiqing Academy looked at the Flawless Palace disciple before him and sneered, ”I’ll let you have the first move, you piece of trash.”

Hearing this, the Flawless Palace disciple attacked without hesitation. Compared to the previous match, this one felt more like a true battle to the death.

The battle erupted in an instant. And just as quickly, Lin Yun noticed that this Taiqing Academy disciple had also taken a Blood Burst Pill. A sinister smile touched the corners of his lips as he glanced coolly at Brother Feng in the distance.

Both of the challengers who had come up in succession had been trailing behind Brother Feng yesterday. Lin Yun didn’t need to think twice to know that this was all Brother Feng’s scheme.

When Brother Feng saw Lin Yun looking, not only did he show no sign of guilt, he shot a provocative glance back. His expression clearly said, ’What are you going to do about it?’

The situation on the stage was completely one-sided. Having taken a Blood Burst Pill, the Taiqing Academy disciple’s Combat Power had skyrocketed. What should have been an evenly matched fight had turned into an utter rout.

Watching the battle unfold, Lu Bingning and the other two women all had frosty expressions. He Yuntian turned to Lin Yun and cried out, ”Eldest Brother...”

But Lin Yun stopped him with a wave of his hand. ’I know what He Yuntian wants to say—something about them being despicable and shameless. But we’re in Taiqing Academy right now. Even if I call them out, what good would it do?’

’Since you want to play, I’ll play along until the very end.’ The smile on Lin Yun’s lips grew more sinister, and a cold glint entered his eyes as he looked at Brother Feng.

To Lin Yun’s surprise, Qin Feng’s reaction was quite moving. As a Core Disciple of Taiqing Academy, Qin Feng looked at his own senior brother and growled, ”Don’t you think you’re being too despicable?”

”Despicable?” Brother Feng shot back. ”Qin Feng, you’d better think carefully before you speak. Don’t forget your position! Flawless Palace is simply less skilled. How can you say that we of Taiqing Academy are being despicable?”

The two were sitting next to each other, so their argument was quiet. Still, a few other Taiqing Academy Core Disciples chimed in to rebuke Qin Feng, telling him to remember his place.

Qin Feng knew the Core Disciples who had spoken up. They were all good friends of his senior brother, and they had always treated Qin Feng with hostility.

Lin Yun gave Qin Feng a meaningful look, signaling for him to drop it and that he had a way to handle it. Seeing the gesture, Qin Feng finally fell silent, though his expression made it clear that he was still furious.

Without another word, Lin Yun simply continued to watch the battle on the stage calmly. Below him, the other Flawless Palace disciples were all seething with frustration.

’Based on what they knew of Lin Yun, when had their Eldest Brother ever been one to take a loss lying down? He would never even accept the slightest disadvantage, let alone this.’

But since Lin Yun said nothing, they couldn’t speak up, no matter how choked with anger they felt.

The battle on the stage was gradually nearing its end. In truth, the outcome should have been decided long ago. When two opponents were of equal strength, the effect of a Blood Burst Pill was undeniable.

The only reason it had dragged on this long was that the Taiqing Academy disciple wanted to torment his opponent from Flawless Palace.

The wounds on the Flawless Palace disciple’s body made it clear that the Taiqing Academy disciple could have ended the match much earlier, but he had chosen not to.

Just as the effects of the Blood Burst Pill were about to fade, the Taiqing Academy disciple finally launched a devastating attack, landing several heavy punches on the Flawless Palace disciple’s chest.

The Flawless Palace disciple spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his entire chest visibly caved in.

Yet even with such grievous injuries, the Flawless Palace disciple refused to fall. He glared at the Taiqing Academy disciple, his eyes filled with contempt and fury.

”You only know how to use dirty tricks. If it weren’t for that Blood Burst Pill...”

Before the Flawless Palace disciple could finish, the Taiqing Academy disciple lashed out with a kick to his head, sending him flying more than ten meters. But it wasn’t over. The Taiqing Academy disciple flashed over to his downed opponent and viciously stomped on his face.

”Trash is trash, and a loser is a loser. Looks like Flawless Palace is just what it’s always been—a breeding ground for garbage.” As he spoke, he ground the sole of his boot into the Flawless Palace disciple’s face, a contemptuous sneer twisting his lips.

Seeing this, the members of Flawless Palace could no longer contain themselves. They all shot to their feet, and He Yuntian charged directly onto the stage.

Seeing He Yuntian charge onto the stage, the Taiqing Academy disciple remained brazenly unafraid. Instead, he kicked the unconscious body of the Flawless Palace disciple toward He Yuntian.

He Yuntian caught his junior brother’s body. The man had already fallen into a coma. The Taiqing Academy disciple was naturally no match for He Yuntian, not even with the help of a Blood Burst Pill.

But this was Taiqing Academy. The disciple looked toward Lin Yun and said with a sneer, ”Senior Brother Lin Yun, is this how people from Flawless Palace behave? Sending a Core Disciple to bully one of our Direct Disciples?”

At these words, He Yuntian’s fists clenched tightly. Lin Yun, however, simply smiled, rose to his feet, and walked to the edge of the viewing platform.
