Martial God Asura

Chapter 6334: Contempt From the Ancient Era

Countless figures rushed to the square. They were present-era cultivators looking to rescue their juniors.

But they were stopped by a powerful oppressive might before they could get close. Pained wails echoed. Some got off with just bleeding heads, whereas others fainted on the spot.

“You should weigh yourself before causing trouble in our Zhao Immortal Clan’s turf. This is the only warning you’ll get. Make another reckless move, and I’ll take your life.” Zhao Daobin coldly eyed everyone present.

It was completely different from how he had treated Chu Feng. He might have acknowledged Chu Feng and spoken up for the latter’s behalf in front of their clan chief, but that was a different story. Someone who could become a clan’s enforcement elder couldn’t be soft-hearted.

Faced with Zhao Daobin’s overwhelming strength, the present-era cultivators dared not even beg for mercy, let alone muster the courage to save their brethren.

“The only way to escape from here is to defeat our clansmen. Otherwise, you’ll merely be implicating your clan in this.” Zhao Daobin turned his gaze back to the trapped present-era juniors in the square.

They were all juniors—the Zhao Immortal Clan had picked them out for Zhao Zhuyin.

Seeing there was no other choice, the present-era juniors picked their duel opponents and began fighting. However, they quickly landed in defeat.

Despite being of the same cultivation level, none of the present-era cultivators was a match for the Zhao Immortal Clansmen.

“The present-era cultivators are useless.”

“What do you expect? They wouldn’t have fared so badly in the Ancient Era if they were truly capable.”

“They merely picked up on our trash while we were trapped. It’s laughable how they think they are a big deal.”

Even those from the other Ancient Era’s races mocked the present-era cultivators, but no one in the square dared to refute them. How could they when they were losing so badly?

Those who had yet to fight became even more prudent with their selection. They hoped to pick a weak opponent so that they could safely leave this place.

Wang Qiang and Qin Xuan heard the scoffs too.

“I am a present-era cultivator too. I shall fight on their behalf, too,” Qin Xuan abruptly declared.

“You want to fight too? Sure. You can free ten people from the square if you can defeat a single person of the cultivation level, but you will have to hand over your formation energy if you lose,” Eighth Zhao said.

Qin Xuan was about to accept the offer when a hand clasped his mouth, stopping him from speaking. It was Wang Qiang.

“Brother Qin, there’s n-n-no need to do this. We don’t know t-t-those people anyway. Why are you putting your life on the line for them?” Wang Qiang advised.

But Qin Xuan still accepted the offer despite having his mouth clasped.

“Brother Wang Qiang, I am a present-era cultivator. I might have lost my sect, but I still have my dignity. I can’t let the Ancient Era cultivators look down on us. I’ll prove that our ancestors were only weaker in the Ancient Era due to a lack of opportunity. We are, in no way, inferior to them!” Qin Xuan spoke with conviction. He had made up his mind.

“Fine.” Wang Qiang had no choice but to release Qin Xuan.

The palace door opened, and Qin Xuan descended onto the square.

However, Xianhai Shaoyu also darted out with him.

“Brother Shaoyu, y-y-you haven’t recovered from your injuries yet! Why are you doing this?” Wang Qiang exclaimed, but Xianhai Shaoyu didn’t even turn his head back. He had also made up his mind.

“Haaa~” Wang Qiang sighed.

He was more annoyed than worried.

“They let their r-r-recklessness get the better of them. It’s one thing if they win, b-b-but if they lose, my b-b-brother would have to clean up after them,” Wang Qiang spoke unhesitatingly in front of Little Fishy, as well as her parents and grandfather.

Little Fishy and the others were worried about Xianhai Shaoyu.

Xianhai Shaoyu, Little Fishy, and Wang Qiang were in a feeble state from the formation’s backlash. They wouldn’t stand much of a chance against the Zhao Immortal Clan’s prodigies in their current state.

“Qin Xuan?”

“Xianhai Shaoyu?”

“They have been captured too?”

Qin Xuan and Xianhai Shaoyu’s appearance caught the crowd’s attention. The Ancient Era cultivators looked upon the sight expectantly, having heard their names. In particular, Xianhai Shaoyu’s reputation was resounding.

Only a duel involving such prodigies was exciting to watch.

As for the present-era cultivators, they tasted despair instead of excitement, especially when they saw Xianhai Shaoyu. If the powerful Immortal Sea Fish Clan was no match for the Zhao Immortal Clan, resulting in Xianhai Shaoyu’s capture, their chances of escaping were bleak.

But their eyes changed when they heard Zhao Daobin’s announcement.

“You’re very lucky. These two young heroes have chosen to stand up for you. They will be able to free ten people of their choice if they can defeat an opponent of the same cultivation level as them,” Zhao Daobin said.

Cheers erupted. The present-era cultivators expressed their gratitude toward Qin Xuan and Xianhai Shaoyu.

“Young friends, by the same cultivation level, I’m not referring to your base cultivation, but your highest cultivation after invoking your bloodline and other means. If your cultivation exceeds the limit you have stated during the battle, we will terminate the duel, and you’ll have to pick a new opponent,” Zhao Daobin told Xianhai Shaoyu and Qin Xuan.

His attitude toward them was much better than how he treated other present-era cultivators, though their close relations with Chu Feng played a huge part in that.

“I understand the rules,” Qin Xuan replied.

He raised his cultivation to the maximum level before turning to the Zhao Immortal Clan’s prodigies.

“Who’s willing to be my opponent?”

Shoosh!

A woman flew out and stood before Qin Xuan. The light shrouding her dissipated, revealing her appearance. She wasn’t beautiful, but she commanded an air of valiance that most men lacked.

She unleashed her bloodline power upon landing, showing that her cultivation was comparable to Qin Xuan’s.

Clang!

The woman drew a God Armament and pointed it at Qin Xuan. “I am a junior too, so don’t accuse me of taking advantage of you if you lose.”

Qin Xuan also drew a God Armament. He charged at the woman without saying a word. As he swung his blade, he abruptly vanished, but a torrential rain of swords rushed at the woman.

It was a God Taboo Martial Skill—the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s clan-protection martial skill, Heavenly Dome Sword Punishment!

Qin Xuan unleashed his strongest attack right from the get-go, showing how seriously he took this battle.

However, the Zhao Immortal Clanswoman didn’t panic in the least. She tightened her grip on her God Armament and raised a purple aura around her. She waited till the swords were about to reach her before diving in with her blade.

Despite the relentless onslaught of swords, she avoided them with phantom-like agility. Even those she couldn’t avoid were easily deflected by her blade.

Due to the difference in cultivation, most people couldn’t read into the intricacies of the battle and thought that Qin Xuan had the upper hand. But Wang Qiang shook his head.

“H-h-he should have listened to me. Now he’s just e-e-embarrassing himself.”

Little Fishy’s parents and grandfather sighed as well. The Zhao Immortal Clanswoman was dealing with Qin Xuan’s killing blow with ease despite having yet to get serious; the duel would be over in a jiffy once she got serious.

True to their expectations, the woman suddenly leaped into the sky and thrust her sword forth.

Psh!

Fresh blood spurted. A figure emerged from the void.

It was Qin Xuan, but his body was stabbed by the woman.

Qin Xuan stared at the woman in disbelief. He had no idea how the Zhao Immortal Clanswoman saw through his hiding spot.

The Zhao Immortal Clanswoman coldly sneered, “Weakling.”

Killing intent flared in her eyes.
