Chapter 111 - True Vermillion Bird Technique

I’ve always been the one at the forefront every time something happened. Now I can finally wait at the sidelines while others fight at the front. Once they have almost succeeded, all I need to do is swoop in and get my prize. Let’s see how mad you will get!

Long Chen constructed his foolproof plan and waited patiently nearby. It was as if he was just a bystander this time.

No one could’ve imagined that there would be an expert like Long Chen just beside them, waiting for the right moment to pounce.

Under the orders of their leaders, those at the mid Human Core Realm had retreated to the sidelines. Only those at the late Human Core Realm and above were standing within the clearing.

The experts at the late Human Core Realm were more than enough to defeat the Heart Eater.

To them, killing the beast was the easy part. The hard part would be contesting for the Supreme Purity Sword.

Only then would the elite youths of the Turquoise family fight against each other.

The battle began!

Feng Wutian and Chu Yunyao did not act first. One of the youths at the late Human Core Realm launched an attack towards the Heart Eater.

Even though the martial technique he used was at the elementary Black-tier, the power it contained was immense as the youth had long since mastered it. Even the Heart Eater growled warily against the attack.

Suddenly, the Heart Eater transformed into a black shadow and charged towards the youth at a speed ten times faster than the youth!

Even Long Chen was surprised by its speed.

No wonder it’s a Black-tier Category Four demonic beast. That guy is toast ...

Long Chen was just thinking this when everyone saw the Heart Eater ram into the youth. The youth’s face went pale from the shock!

This was merely a normal tackle from the beast.

The others frowned when they saw what had happened. Chu Yunyao’s voice suddenly came from the clearing. “Everyone, we have to attack together. That way, the beast won’t know who to focus on!”

Long Chen realized how charismatic she was. A moment later, all of the late Human Core Realm experts followed her command and used their strongest attacks against the Heart Eater.

Even Long Chen would be heavily injured from those attacks if he were to meet them head-on, but the Heart Eater remained calm.

It stared at the crowd before a bizarre aura emanated from its body. It howled and let loose a stream of black smoke from its mouth.

The black smoke was like a long snake that homed in on the youths. Chu Yunyao hurriedly exclaimed, “Evade it! That’s the Heart Eating Magic!”

Everyone present knew at least some baseline information about the Heart Eater. Its special technique, the Heart Eating Magic, was what made this beast extremely dangerous.

Everyone started retreating!

Chu Yunyao’s voice and her innate strength had attracted the Heart Eater.

Its red eyes fixated on Chu Yunyao and shot towards her like an arrow!

Even under that immense pressure, Chu Yunyao did not panic. It was clear Liu Ling was nowhere near her level.

At the same time, the Heart Eater raised its paws and swiped at her. An ebony demonic power imbued itself into its claws, making its attacks much deadlier than a regular martial technique!

“This must be the rumored Demonic Soul Iron Claws.”

Chu Yunyao remained calm. Long Chen saw a white item appear in her hand. She swung it, and numerous blades flickered through the air and towards the Heart Eater.

“Purity Sword Mirage!”

The swords crashed into the Heart Eater like a wave and blocked it from advancing further. Long Chen frowned when he saw her attack.

She’s holding an elementary Black-tier spirit sword. I wonder if I can block it ...

Long Chen had thought he was the only one who was hiding behind the trees to watch the battle, but unbeknownst to him, eight more people were observing the fight to his left.

“Miss Yunyao has almost perfected the Purity Sword Mirage. She’s more or less unbeatable when facing opponents at the Human Core Realm ...”

Liu Lan was commenting while observing the battle.

The group was none other than the eight administrators who had led the teams into the Heavenly Martial Realm. They were here to supervise the training exercise and to ensure nothing happened to the youths.

“You are exaggerating, Administrator Liu. Feng Wutian from the Turquoise Sun Hall has the bloodline of the Vermillion Bird family. That’s true talent. He’s also older than Chu Yunyao, so he has more battle experience than her. The winner should be the Turquoise Sun Hall.”

Liu Lan scoffed. The one talking to her had been staring at her voluptuous body for a very long time, and she usually ignored people like him.

“I wonder where the team from the Turquoise Vanguard Hall is? Why are they still not here?”

The administrator of the Turquoise Vanguard Hall was looking around before realizing she was talking to him. “I don’t know where those brats ran off to. They are probably somewhere further away. They should arrive soon.”

“Is that so? I thought the Turquoise Vanguard Hall team intended to wait till the battle was finished before ambushing them to reap the rewards.”

Liu Lan’s scathing allegation made him shut up.

She was more powerful than him, so all he could do was take her insults.

Everyone else continued to watch the battle at the clearing. There was a new development.

Chu Yunyao’s Purity Sword Mirage and the Heart Eater’s Demonic Soul Iron Claws clashed against each other, but the shockwave from it hindered the Heart Eater from advancing.

Chu Yunyao suddenly backed down and shouted, “Everyone, attack!”

The Turquoise Imperial Hall was the strongest hall of the Turquoise family. On top of that, Chu Yunyao was the strongest individual present, so everyone had to listen to her.

Some of them wanted her to get injured so they could have an upper hand in contesting for the Supreme Purity Sword later on. But there would be consequences if Chu Yunyao ended up heavily injured, so there was nothing they could do.

Everyone attacked the Heart Eater except for Feng Wutian.

Long Chen knew Feng Wutian was a prideful individual, and that he was unhappy to see Chu Yunyao take the spotlight.

Feng Wutian released his true strength, and fiery, red wings appeared behind his back.

He gently flapped his wings, and his speed surpassed everyone else. He punched the Heart Eater directly on its forehead.

Bam!

“Aroooo!”

The Heart Eater howled in pain and took a few steps back. Blood flowed down from its forehead and its black fur was burnt from Feng Wutian’s attack!

This was the first time it had suffered an injury. The Heart Eater got angry and focused on Feng Wutian instead. Its blood-red eyes were now fixated on him.

Feng Wutian realized he was in danger.

Liu Ling was at the edge of the clearing and saw how Feng Wutian was the first one to injure the Heart Eater. “Senior Wutian is amazing!”

But the Heart Eater ignored everyone except Feng Wutian. It wanted to kill the person who had hurt it the most.

Feng Wutian finally realized the consequences of his action, but there was no time for regrets. He had no choice but to fight now. He clenched his teeth and charged towards the Heart Eater.

His fiery wings started to solidify. Flapping his wings, Feng Wutian flew up into the sky. While up in the air, his aura exploded and he circulated his Qi throughout his body. Fire started appearing on his body before condensing into a small, bird-like figure in his palm.

“True Vermillion Bird Technique! Spiritual Feather Congregation!”

The fire bird in his palm flew towards the Heart Eater and exploded before reaching it, raining down numerous fiery feathers towards it!

The Heart Eater roared when it saw the large-scale attack. It ran as fast as it could and avoided almost all of the feathers. While running, it exhaled another plume of black smoke towards Feng Wutian.

Feng Wutian knew he would suffer a lot even if the black smoke touched a small portion of his body. Seeing how the Heart Eater was targeting only him, he had no choice but to block the attack.

“Everyone, lend me your strength!”

While the Heart Eater was concentrating on Feng Wutian, everyone else could attack it! This was a great opportunity!

The Heart Eater was so busy attacking Feng Wutian that it would ignore the others’ attacks. Everyone else could use this chance to kill it!

And so, under the lead of Chu Yunyao, everyone ran towards the Heart Eater to kill it!

But no one saw the coldness in Chu Yunyao’s eyes.

There’s no way you can block an intermediate Black-tier sword technique!

While the Heart Eater was busy attacking Feng Wutian with the Heart Eating Magic, everyone else aimed their strongest attacks towards the Heart Eater, with Chu Yunyao’s attack being the strongest of them all!
