THE MARTIAL GOD

Chapter 14: The Trap

Jing Yun continued to approach by Lin Feng's side. He was only at the seventh Qi layer and was too weak to be left alone. The seventh Qi layer was the lowest level in the Stormy Gorge so it was not enough for him to go out and fight with other disciples.

Han Man understood Lin Feng's intention by leaving him alone. If Lin Feng was constantly by his side protecting him then he would not be able to fight and gain experience at all. It was very important for him to rely on his own strength from this moment onwards.

Walking alone in the Stormy Gorge did not take much time before someone approached him. He could see the eyes of that person through a mask that revealed a clear intention to fight.

There is no time to exchange words. The disciple immediately charged towards Han Man while raising his fist which was emitting a powerful Qi.

"Really damn, Han Man had met a cultivator of the ninth Qi layer. '' Said Lin Feng while smiling and observing from a distance. Han Man had already guessed his opponent's level of the strong Qi he released from his fists. He had no time to worry about the difference in strength, though, he concentrated the Qi from his entire body into his fist and then released all the power he had in a single strike while giving a loud and powerful shout.

The force of this punch had made Han Man retreat a few meters while his opponent did not move an inch. It was as if his fist hit an iron wall and it was clear from one exchange which one was stronger.

"Eighth Qi layer .. You are very weak. I think I can get some experience. How disappointing it is, I better go. "Word to fight with apathy. He turned around and started to leave.

He had lost interest in Han Man. Many Cultivators found joy and pleasure to be cruel and merciless. However those who were serious towards the path of cultivation found no pleasure in acting cruelly without provocation and would focus more on strengthening themselves. Those disciples found satisfaction in fighting opponents of the same level and a bit much against opponents who were even stronger than themselves would help them gain insight. This was a way for them to truly challenge themselves and unlock their potential while gaining much-needed battle experience.

"Wait, wait!" Shouted Han Man.

He had come to the Stormy Gorge for the first time today, how could he accept being defeated so quickly? He immediately released his spirit power. A yellowish-brown light started floating all over his body as if he was symbiotic with the Earth under his feet and his Qi energy started to grow in strength.

"Spirit Earth" said the opponent who showed interest suddenly and right after saying: "Your spirit is not bad, let me see if you can take three of my profound blows. ”

After the opponent finished his sentence, he took one leap and appeared in front of Han Man.

"DUARRR!!"

The yellowish-brown color surrounding Han Man suddenly emitted an extremely luminous light as dust filled the air around them. Han Man was pushed six steps back while blood started flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the opponent ready to go once again.

"Go back," Han Man said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His courage could reach the sky as he continued to stand firm, his fighting spirit surging. The yellowish-brown light that surrounded his body shone even brighter and it was as if he was draining all the power from the ground itself.

“KABOOM”

Han Man was pushed eight steps back while his opponent was pushed three steps back.

"Fun!" Opponent said. His fists began to shine with a white light and then he warned Han Man: "Be careful, I will use one of my strongest skills on this blow. ”

"Alright" Han Man replied as he started attacking his opponent. Each of his steps made the ground shake violently, like a powerful warhorse running at full speed towards battle.

"Use the strength you have borrowed from Earth" shouted Lin Feng while watching from a distance, he was completely captivated by the battle. He would not have thought that Han Man would understand how to use his spirit in such a unique way. Combining the power of the Earth Spirit and the earth under his feet could greatly increase his strength.

"BOOM!" Both of their fists collided. Clouds of dust shot out in all directions from the shockwave between Han Man and his opponent, making it impossible to see what was happening. When the cloud of dust had vanished, Han Man was sitting on the ground meditating.

“You suddenly understood what the other disciple said. It's done well. '' Said his opponent with a smile and got up from the ground. He also had blood coming out of the corner of his mouth. He had not expected Han Man's final attack to be so powerful. He was a little bit injured but it was worth it for him. He had gained valuable insights thanks to this fight.

He did not spend more time with Han Man and immediately disappeared into the distance.

"An attractive man" said Lin Feng as he moved towards Han Man. He felt great respect for the disciple Han Man had just fought for. “He is a respectable person. ”

Lin Feng and Jing Yun clearly knew that Han Man had learned more about his spirit and gained insight into his cultivation path. They did not want to bother him so they sat down next to him and waited for him to finish gaining his insight.

That fight had enlightened Han Man. What had just happened was a rare moment of heavenly enlightenment. It wouldn't be surprising if Han Man's strength started to increase at lightning speed once he fully grasped his new insight. Lin Feng and Jing Yun admired him. He had entered Stormy Canyon and had a flash of consciousness right after his first battle.

A short while after, Han Man's body suddenly started emitting a powerful Qi drugging Lin Feng and Jing Yun who were looking at each other gasping for breath.

“His strength is so strong and unique that it gives a deep and oppressive feeling. Is this really the power of enlightenment? '' Thought Lin Feng.

The path of cultivation is vast and there are many different routes to take in cultivation. Lin Feng had just started walking on the Cultivation path. He could not imagine how powerful some Cultivators were and he knew that these strong cultivators could destroy mountains or destroy entire cities in their own way easily.

It was said that if a cultivator after reaching the immortal level could fly to heaven and penetrate into the depths of the Earth. These cultivators would have an unlimited lifespan and could move at a speed faster than light. Lin Feng could only envy, because such strength could only be imagined by someone like him who had never experienced it. He wondered if he would ever be able to fly to heaven and look down on the world.

While Lin Feng lost his mind, someone in the distance came towards them with incredible speed. When he saw Han Man who had just made a huge step on the path of cultivation, he laughed mockingly.

"Waah" cried Han Man, who spat out a mouthful of blood and started breathing heavily.

His eyes reddened in anger as he stared at the distant silhouette. He felt he was starting to grasp the concept of his new strength, but when he heard the voice, he stopped his breakthrough. Moreover, a deafening sound had shaken his helpless body so much that he spewed blood.

"Bad!" said Lin Feng with eyes filled with killing intent. He stared at the silhouette on the horizon. That person had intentionally spoken to Han Man and cut off his flash of enlightenment that caused damage to Han Man's body.

Han Man walked towards the silhouette and asked angrily, "Why are you bothering me ?!"

“No excuses, I just do it for fun. "The person was not wearing a mask and had a teasing smile on their face. None of them had seen this disciple before or heard of someone so mischievous.

"You're doing this for fun ?!" han Man said as he walked forward, anger spreading throughout his body. He understood how rare those flashes of enlightenment were, but that person voluntarily cut them off at a very important moment and on top of that, he had injured him.

“Hehe you want to fight? But it's not so fun to fight here in the canyon, if you want revenge, why don't you come to the Life or Death Arena? ”Ask the young man in a derogatory tone that showed hatred towards Han Man.

"Good.'' Han Man replied without hesitation trying to control his extreme anger.

"I will wait for you," the young man said as he went towards the Life or Death arena.

"Han Man, it is difficult to determine his strength compared to yours and going to the Life or Death Area is extremely dangerous. "Lin Feng warned Han Man.

“I can determine his strength with just a glance. He was the same as me at the eighth Qi layer. '' Han Man replied which surprised Lin Feng. Was Han Man able to sense the cultivation level of others?

"I don't know what happened, but I can also feel the level of Jing Yun Cultivation as well as yourself. Maybe one of the effects of the flash of consciousness I just had. Maybe I can explain it if I wasn't bothered. '' Han Man's explanation did not convince Lin Feng. Han Man started walking towards the Life or Death Area while clenching his fists.

"Let's go. '' Lin Feng was really skeptical. Jing Yun and Lin Feng followed Han Man putting their trust in their friend's words. If the glint of Han Man's realization really allowed him to sense the cultivation level of others and his opponent was truly a Cultivator of the eighth Qi layer then there shouldn't be any great danger if they were to fit evenly.

The Life or Death Area is located in a canyon in the middle of the Stormy Gorge. There were ten seats to look over the rocky terrain at the boundary of the arena, but since the area was so vast, many would gather and watch the battle from a distance.

Two silhouettes entered the Life or Death Area which immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators in the area. In an instant, many people rushed to watch the fight.

Although the number of people who came to the canyon was enormous, there were very few people who had ever entered the arena. After all in the Life or Death Area you have to risk your life. If you don't hate someone wholeheartedly then why take that risk? Most people who would go to the arena would do so to fight an opponent with the same strength that made the fight interesting to watch.

Therefore when Han Man and his opponent came to the Life or Death Area, the number of people around the area was huge. In the Stormy Gorge there were a few people watching this area waiting for the bloody battle and would spread the news to the fellow disciples at an incredible speed.

“We all came to Life or Death Area to settle our grudges. My goal is not to hold grudges, because today your fate has been decided by someone else. "The boy said to Han Man while a sinister smile covered his face:" Han Man, remember the name of the person who will take your life, my name is: Jiang Huai "

Lin Feng was standing on top of the sand dunes outside the arena feeling the shivering on his back. When he heard what Jiang Huai said, he knew something was wrong. How did he know that it was Han Man who was wearing a mask?

"You know me?" Han Man said furiously.

"Hej . "A sinister smile crept on Jiang Huai's face. A searing energy suddenly began to emerge from his body accompanied by flames. At the same time, an illusory fire appeared on his back: Spirit fire.

"He is indeed a Cultivator of the eighth Qi layer" said Lin Feng feeling the energy descending from the Arena.

The earth spirit Han Man also started to explode. He started running forward. Although he did not run very fast, the energy and force released by his body made every step send a small earthquake through the floor.

"Flame Detonation" a powerful wave filled with fire shots towards Han Man. When Jiang Huai saw that Han Man suddenly stopped and took a posture that made him seem like an unmoving mountain, Jiang Huai shouted: "I will destroy this mountain before me! Ha ha ha" .

Both of their fists collided between Han Man and Jiang Huai and suddenly stopped moving, right where they had just collided. None of them beat their opponents.

Jiang Huai frowned and stopped laughing. He had not expected Han Man to be that strong. An evil grin appeared on his face and he pushed out with his left hand but Han Man easily blocked it with his palm. Suddenly he threw the white dust from his right hand straight into Han Man's eyes. He brought this dust to blind an enemy stronger than him.

"Dead!" Said Jiang Huai while throwing a punch at Han Man's chest.

"Breng! How ignorant of your shame. '' Curse Lin Feng who then saw a shadowy figure move towards the life or death arena

“In the arena of Life or Death people sometimes lose their lives. Don't worry your turn will come, Jing Yun, ”take the shadow in a cold tone. Jing Yun was extremely frightened when she saw her face.

"Jing Hao's. ”

He shouted loudly. He looked at the other disciples behind Jing Hao, it was the young disciple who had been injured by Lin Feng earlier that day and now everything had been made clear. These are all traps to begin with.
