The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch56 16 Large

In one slash of his sword Asta threw out 7 Ye Juan sword spirits, not giving up Ye Juan kept trying to avenge every slash of his sword.

Ye Juan took out a Magic 7 Sword formation to suppress his strength but instead of his strength being suppressed even Asta's attacks were getting crazier and faster. Even with his sword magic formation Ye Juan was still unable to match his strength.

Enough with the blast of his fighting spirit aura the formation could not hold him for much longer.

Ye Juan initially thought that even though Kenshin and Asta's strength was very strong, they both only defeated their enemies while they were off guard, as well as he thought about Yami's defeat. But after he competed with him above the Arena, his assumption that thinking he could match Asta with his full strength even though it was wrong, he remained far from him.

He was forced into a position of having no other choice but to use techniques that were very risky for his own safety.

"I'm sorry brother Ye, I can't let you do something that's risky for your safety. Even if you use it you won't be able to defeat me, I'm sorry Brother Ye," he said slowly and then suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind him.

The moment Asta opened his cultivation realm made Ye Juan stare speechless because of the realm suppression Asta released on him.

Ye Juan was drowned in the arena, what Asta said was true. It was impossible for him and Yami to even win from Asta and Kenshin, their realm was different level with him.

Currently the Asta realm was a 3 Star Spiritualist Master, after he practiced concocting medicine together with his teacher last night not only did his soul grow stronger but he also gained an increase in his spirit essence even though it was only as much as one level.

Before saying the word surrender Ye Juan smiled and thanked him for stopping him from doing something very risky,. Ye Juan gave up in the middle of the fight.

"Brother Asta I hope that one day we meet again you can accept the challenge of match practice from me," Ye Juan told him.

"Of course I will gladly accept it" Asta replied.

The participant who qualified first to the sixth phase of the 16 participants was Asta from the Red Dawn Association.

The next battle was Hao Chen's fight against Yin Fushu, the two of them also climbed the arena preparing to fight. Yin Fushu climbed into the arena with his bow-mode spirit essence.

After the start of the match Yin gave the first attack for the sake of seizing Hao Chen's chance before he started throwing his Heavenly Blue Lotus, which was one of the extremely powerful True Spirits as a Spirit of the Universe.

Deftly Yin immediately jumped forward after she released her arrow and pointed it behind her, it was true that Hao Chen suddenly appeared from behind. His first arrow only hit the shadow created from the Heavenly Blue Lotus.

Chen changed the appearance of the teratanya into a spirit sword, it seems that his skill in sword techniques is also not inferior to Kenshin. Chen's speed of motion was no slower than Kenshin's deadly intangible swordsmanship which was also extremely fast as if he was seen disappearing and suddenly appeared on the other side.

Although unable to keep up with his movement speed, Yin was still able to predict Chen's attack so that he could escape from his sword slash.

Relying on the speed of reflexes as well as the timeliness of Chen's attack predictions made Yin look to compensate for Hao Chen's swordplay, even though in reality Yin was only fighting with all her might to be able to fight him.

A blink of an eye disappeared a flash then appeared behind or beside him making Yin overwhelmed.

Over time Chen's movements became more and more illegible so Yin managed to get wounds on several parts of his body. With great constancy despite the extremely fatal risk Yin activated the first Transformation of the Red Winged Eagle so that he gained the ability to fly as well as read the tactics of movement.

On the other hand Hao Chen just smiled behind his mask looking at Yin who gave out his final technique. Chen instantly disappeared and then appeared before him while holding a blue lotus.

"Magic Heavenly Art, Led Sacred Fire Lotus,"

Instantly created an explosion that was so powerful that it destroyed all of the arena stone floors. Yin Fushu fell unconscious after receiving such a powerful blast before his own eyes.

From there the winner was already visible, seeing Yin who was unconscious of the fight was no longer able to continue.

The match was postponed for a moment in order to give the arena repair experts time to repair the palm as it was when Hao Chen had not yet blown it up.

After the repairs were completed the match was continued with Yu Tiandu against Kenshin, a match that Yu Tiandu had been waiting for to avenge the defeat of Yami who was then decisively defeated by Kenshin.

Previously Yu Tiandu had very quickly defeated his opponents with his Crescent Moon flow sword technique.

While riding the arena Kenshin holding the handle of his sword, after the start of the fight Kenshin also launched a third slash attack intangible swordsmanship, intangible sword eyes, the same technique he used on Yami.

Not yet had Yu Tiandu wanted to attack he felt a sensation of pain that he had never felt in his back. Faintly he only saw the figure of Kenshin who walked away leading to the stairs down the arena.

"You..how.perhaps...ukh-!" Said Yu softly to her.

As Kenshin unleashes his spiritual concealment technique on him, "Well, since you seem so curious, I'll tell you why I ended you and your friend in such a short time. Asta, Gao Li, as well as those three people Hao Chen, Cang Hue, Tang San, and I, are not someone you can fight against even if you intend to fight it out, either, I know your character from the Tiandu Family, that's why I ended you two quickly" Kenshin replied softly.

After feeling his spirit Yu Tiandu had to swallow bitterly from the defeat. What he said was true, if Kenshin had not ended it quickly it was not impossible that he would have done risky things to be able to fight it. It's just that after knowing Kenshin's strength for just a moment he immediately realized that he was not his match.

"Thank you...."

In an instant the fight between Kenshin and Yu Tiandu finished so quickly that not 5 breaths of new matches began.

Furthermore there was a fight between Tang Wu against Wen Han the Golden Ape of the Han family. This fight will be a fight between the spear against the stick.

Wen Han jumped on top of the arena and cross-legged with his cane waiting for Tang Wu to come upstairs.

Tang Wu directly activated his spirit essence, the Wind Cloud Spear. Instantly the look of his spear slightly changed after he activated his spirit essence. Wen Han also activated his spirit essence, the Golden Ape.

Wen Han jumped to smash his staff deftly Tang Wu held the golden staff with the handle of his spear.

Tang Wu tried to fight back by giving him an attack but Wen Han's quick and double movements made it difficult for Tang Wu to deliver an attack. His golden staff constantly brushed off his spear.

Tang Wu from the Sky Realm Sect was also quickly defeated by Wen Han from the Han Family who was known among young geniuses as the Golden Ape.

Next up was Yan Jian's fight of the Ancestral Land Sect against Kiena Saki of the Eternity Hell Land Sect. The fight ended in victory for Yan Jian.

The poison from Kiena's spirit essence Hell Flower did not work in the least against him, so Yan Jian easily ended his match.

Then there was Tang San against Shiro, where the fight again ended quickly with Tang San winning. The art of killing Shiro seemed to be useless in front of his Wind Breaking Hammer, just one punch of the arena floor was destroyed by it. Shiro lost control of his footing and fell on a hammer strike.

The next fight is Asila Moegi against Cang Hue, in front of the strength of the site Cang Hue who has defeated many opponents also can not face Moegi. Moegi was defeated by him.

His Orange Fire Lotus was not a problem for Cang Hue, he felt the pressure from him which made his attack power seem to be getting weaker. Even Cang Hue looked unharmed after his fire lotus hit him.

Even after he had used the Dewi Mentari Dance technique which improved the compatibility of his strength and spirit essence was still no match for him.

Then there was Han Bin from the Blue Crescent Sect against Sun Ling from the Ling family.

Sun removed the wind blade from his fan, giving the first attack a simple yet extreme look.

Han Bin turned his sword to remove the wind blade, he charged forward to attack Sun giving several sharp sword slashes. Deftly Sun opened his fan holding back Han Bin's sword slash.

Not stopping there Han Bin took out some ice sword moves freezing the area around Sun was. The cold mana emitting profusely from his sword filled the fighting arena.

Not wanting to lose just like that Sun jumped activating the essence of the Iron Dragon Wing so that he could break free from the restraints of Han Bin's cold sword.

Han Bin stuck his sword into the arena before he then unleashed an Ice Freezer Arrangement, a technique that only an Arrangement Master could possess.

The array not only slowly froze the opponent but significantly increased the power of the owner's ice attack.

Unwilling to be restrained in the arrangement Sun tried to destroy his arrangement with his Killer Wing Rain, but as a result his efforts only ended in vain. The strength of the array was at a higher level than him.

Leisurely Han Bin retracts his sword leaping upwards giving the final ice sword slash to end the match.

Sun Ling also fell onto the arena in defeat with the slash of the sword. After that the Referee also announced Han Bin as the winner of the last fight in the fifth phase. The Fifth Phase match ended.

The participants who escaped to the Sixth Phase 8 Great among others were; asta from the Red Dawn Association, Hao Chen from the Lotus Flower Sect, Kenshin from the Dark Wing Group, and, Wen Han from the Great Han Family, Yan Jian from the Ancestral Land Sect, Tang San from the God Island Sect, Cang Hue from the Cloud Palace Sect, and Han Bin from the Blue Crescent Sect.

That way today's game was over, the participants and spectators were encouraged to return.

Outside the Asta arena intercepted by Moegi and the others, they congratulated him for successfully escaping to the Top 8.

"Because you've won the last 16 and qualified for the next phase you have to treat us now" Zaraki said.

"Isn't it a bit unfair if the winner is treating" he said.

"Good advice, Zara. Let's go now" Kesha said.

"I agree with you" Gao Li said.

"Me too" said Shiro.

"Alright I also agree," said Kesha.

The five of them then pulled Asta into a restaurant to celebrate his victory in the round of 16 and qualify for the round of 8. They forcefully pulled him without waiting and listening to what he wanted to say.

"You really are," muttered Asta resignedly.

***

Misaki is talking to Rai about Asta and when they should meet and look for him. Misaki had already subconsciously held back her longing for her old little son, who had now become a martial genius in just a few years.

"If only the Mountains of the Abandoned Country did not defect to the Empire where might we part with it like this! Come on Rai.."he's impatient.

From yesterday he had resisted his desire not to see Asta for fear that he would interfere with his concentration in the Tournament. But because it was no longer able to bear it today, he wanted to hug her tightly, no matter how she was his mother who gave birth to him as a child.

Actually it is not only Misaki who wants to meet him, Rai as his father also of course wants to see him. But he was still afraid to see Asta after what they did first. They had already left him and again Helio Utake instead made a drama about his death, he was afraid that Asta would think they both threw it away.

"But we can explain him well about the war, I'm sure our son can understand why we should leave him for no apparent reason. We need to see him now. Whether the five of them have told him or not we still have to see him now," Misaki told him.

Rai could only sigh slowly, his wife was one of the women known to be strong among cultivators as the Great Sect Leader of the Land of Hell Eternity, he said, but someone who is very strong like himself will be destroyed if faced with a son. Her attitude as the Great Sect Leader seemed to be lost and became like an ordinary woman who missed her son.

"Alright, alright. Let's meet Manager Row first, however, even though it's most likely that the wolf-masked child is our son, we still have to make sure first through the Manager,"

"Tie! How could he not be Asta, there is an Ace beside the Manager how could it not be our son...!" Annoyed annoyed.

"Yes, yes, he's our son, okay? But still we have to go to the Manager first to meet him. It just so happened that I found some obstacles in my cultivation and I was about to ask the Manager," said Rai slowly, Misaki nodded her head slowly with a smile, her face that was suddenly angry at him instantly disappearing.

The two of them left their inn to the place where Manager Row was staying with Asta.
