Rise of The Demon General

Chapter 204: Chapter 204. A True Throwing Weapon

Li Niang looked at the two. ’Is this for real?’ She thought.

She was vexed. She wished to leave this place as soon as possible, but then a thought occurred to her. Didn’t she volunteer to be the referee to watch Amon’s match in the first place? She was disappointed when it turned out Xin Wuming was the one who participated in the match. But now, Amon proposed another match. One he was sure to participate in. Furthermore, his opponent was much more challenging compared to the original setup.

The only question was, would this match be interesting at all? Even she was skeptical whether a Strength Stage cultivator could do anything to a Transformation Stage cultivator. The match could end as soon as it began. But then again, if that was the case, then there was no worth for her interest in Amon.

Both Amon and Gao Sou were quiet as they waited for Li Niang’s decision. If the principal didn’t allow it, they had to vacate the premises.

”If I forbid this match, you will just do it outside, won’t you?” Li Niang asked the two.

The two didn’t reply, but the answer was clear from their expressions.

”Very well, then. Everyone else besides these two, leave the stage!” Li Niang commanded.

Everyone ran back to their seats. Partly due to their fear of Li Niang, the other part was because they were eager for this next match to start.

Two people stayed longer than the others.

The first was Tuang Yin, who asked Amon with a concerned expression, ”Are you sure about this?”

The second was Xin Wuming, who showed the same concern. ”Brother...”

Amon looked at the two with a reproaching gaze. ”Do you two think so little of me?”

The question hit them harder than a scolding. The two immediately nodded and ran back to their seats.

The stage soon had only three people. Amon, Gao Sou, and Li Niang.

”What a fool,” Gao Sou ridiculed. ”Maybe you have fought others with higher cultivation before, but you should know that the power difference between two stages is completely different from the power difference between the same stage. You might win against a Peak Strength stage when you are at the Intermediate Stage, but a cultivator at the Beginning Transformation stage can easily crush a cultivator at the Peak Strength stage. The chance for you to win against me is zero!”

”Hehe, if you like to lecture so much, you should apply to be a tutor,” Amon chuckled. ”Is that your real intention? Seeing the principal is here?”

”Hmph! A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin. You don’t know the limit of your strength. Just because you have a bit of reputation, you think you are the best.”

”I am the best. I ranked first in the entrance exam, remember?”

”You, mother*cker! I’m going to kill you!!” Gao Sou shouted. He finally ran out of patience.

”Hehe,” Amon simply chuckled in response.

”Are you two done?” Li Niang asked.

”I’ve been ready since a while ago. This guy just wouldn’t shut his mouth,” Amon replied.

”Grr... Principal! Please start the match already!” Gao Sou yelled.

Li Niang shook his head. In terms of a debate, it was clear who the winner was. However, a match between two cultivators was not decided by their mouths. Li Niang lifted her hand. She took another look between the two before she exclaimed, ”Begin!”

Gao Sou immediately charged forward the instant Li Niang made the announcement. He couldn’t hold it in him anymore. He wanted to pummel this arrogant junior to a pulp. His body moved like a flash of lightning. He was using movement art. In less than a second, his fist pierced through Amon’s face, except it was the afterimage’s face.

Amon’s Lingering Shade Stride had a similar effect as Xin Wuming’s Hundred Misleading Steps. They both produced afterimages when used. The difference was Xin Wuming’s didn’t give the user a speed boost, while Amon’s did. However, if Xin Wuming reached a higher mastery, the Hundred Misleading Steps allowed him to create multiple afterimages simultaneously. It had a higher potential to confuse the opponent.

With the boosted speed, Amon was already away. He had no problem reading Gao Sou’s intention. He already moved before Gao Sou did.

Amon waved his hand. A flying knife flew toward Gao Sou’s back, which was still in motion due to his extreme charge.

The flying knife suddenly shattered before touching Gao Sou’s back. At the same instant, Amon sensed incoming danger. He quickly placed his left arm before his head. He soon felt a painful sting on that arm. The painful sting was accompanied by a strong impact that threw him backward. He backflipped to negate the force before landing on his feet.

”Not bad. Any other person will have a hole in his arm already,” Gao Sou said. Something small was floating above his hand. It was also spinning.

’What is that?’ Amon thought. His arm hurt but was not wounded. If not for the Xian Cloth wrapping his arm, there would have been a hole like Gao Sou said.

”Do you think you are an expert at throwing weapons?” Gao Sou asked. ”As I said, you are just a country bumpkin who doesn’t know how large the world is. I’m going to show you what a true throwing weapon is.”

The floating thing above his hand spun faster before vanishing.

Amon couldn’t see the thing’s movements but sensed it when it approached. He immediately put his left arm in that direction to protect himself. At the same time, he jumped in the opposite direction. When Gao Sou’s weapon hit, he was again thrown from the impact. But because he was jumping in the same direction as the force was pushing, the impact was largely reduced.

When he landed, he saw the weapon had returned to Gao Sou. It was truly fast.

”I applaud you for not losing as soon as the match starts,” Gao Sou said. ”But if you think you can prolong this match by defending, you should think again.”

Gao Sou’s next action let Amon see the true nature of his weapon. Gao Sou wore two rings on his fingers. These two rings started spinning. They then flew out of his fingers and floated beside the first spinning thing. There were now three spinning objects above Gao Sou’s hands.

”Let’s see how you defend against three of my throwing weapons,” Gao Sou said with a savage expression.
