Chapter 522 - Evil People Are Bad Everywhere

“I don’t see anything wrong with hitting your disciple. She had admitted defeat, so why is he still attacking? Is this how the Red Ghost Pavilion conducts itself? What an eye-opener.”

The Clear Shallows King had insulted them. She didn’t want to embarrass herself, so she brought her daughter down from the arena, leaving the Red Ghost King and Ying Shaotian alone.

Even the Red Ghost King wasn’t sure why Ying Shaotian would do something like that. That act had tarnished their pavilion’s honor. Since the Clear Shallows King didn’t want to fight him to the bitter end, he could only scurry down the arena with Ying Shaotian in his arms.

The crowd laughed.

“Ying Shaotian is so weird. Liu Yiyi gave up, yet he continued to attack her. Do you think he went crazy? Everyone knows that Liu Yiyi has to marry Ying Shaotian if the placement of the Clear Shallows Pavilion is lower than the Red Ghost Pavilion’s. Maybe Ying Shaotian thinks there’s no chance he will marry Liu Yiyi anymore.”

“Who knows? I thought he was a great disciple, but it seems that his demeanor is the same as his master’s. Like father, like son, I suppose.”

“No, it’s just that evil people are the same everywhere in the world, just like how crows are black no matter which part of the world they come from.”

“Black? You mean red?”

“Haha!”

If it were only one person who was laughing at him, the Red Ghost King would’ve whipped that person to death. But there was no way he could kill everyone when most of the crowd was laughing at him.

He roared at the crowd, “Shut up! We will see who has the last laugh!”

Ying Shaotian has indeed won, so he would enter the final three. If Long Chen couldn’t advance, the Red Ghost King would win.

Everyone stopped talking after seeing how angry Red Ghost King was. But they were still secretly criticizing Ying Shaotian’s actions. Liu Yiyi was a beautiful lady, and if the Clear Shallows King had been late, someone as beautiful as her would’ve been dead. Who would be happy about that?

“Shaotian, what’s wrong with you?” the Red Ghost King hollered at him.

Ying Shaotian was afraid and embarrassed. His face was almost as red as his master’s. “Master, I couldn’t stand it when Liu Yiyi looked down on me. I wanted to show her how strong I am.”

“Idiot! If you want to show her how strong you are, you need to at least get second place for me!”

The Red Ghost King was confused. Ying Shaotian was usually smart and cold, so why was he so rash today? Beating her was indeed a way to show her how strong he was, but that had damaged his reputation and the Red Ghost King’s.

Ying Shaotian snapped out of it and apologized. “Master, I was indeed rash. I’ve never been humiliated by a woman before. Let me restore the honor of the Red Ghost Pavilion later.”

He then glared venomously at Long Chen.

After the little scuffle had ended, the battle continued. Who was going to fight next? Everything was coming down to luck once more.

When Demon General Typhoon saw that everything was over, he waited for approval from Jiang Wushang before starting the next match. “Numbers three and four, come up to the arena. Let me remind you once more that once someone admits defeat, the other must stop immediately! If you continue to attack and kill them, your participation will be voided! I hope everyone can understand this!”

This rule had just been set by Jiang Wushang, so Ying Shaotian wasn’t kicked out.

So who were the next fighters?

Chen Feng was the first one to move once Demon General Typhoon called for them to come up. He glared at Long Chen before heading to the arena, then he said to Demon General Typhoon, “I am number four, but who is number three?”

One of the disciples’ faces paled when he saw Chen Feng walk up.

“It’s me.” The disciple was at the Eighth Passage Stage. He shook his head in shame.

He had faced off against another Eighth Passage Stage disciple previously. After fighting hard to enter the next stage, he had drawn Chen Feng as his opponent. He knew that he couldn’t win, so he admitted defeat on the spot.

“Everyone, I am very unlucky today. I give up!”

The disciple had been trying to figure out who his opponent would be before this, hoping he would be lucky. As long as he didn’t have to fight Chen Feng, he would definitely enter the final three. But luck wasn’t on his side today.

He had no choice but to admit defeat.

Some were born with misfortune, while some were born with the stars of fortune guiding them. This was inevitable.

The crowd became noisy again when the disciple gave up. It was certain that Chen Feng would enter the top three, so they didn’t think much, but to think Long Chen would enter the top three too!

“My goodness! He’s too lucky! He met a Seventh Passage Stage disciple in the first round, and now he has met another!”

“This is a coincidence, but his luck is too good!”

“To think that a mere Seventh Passage Stage disciple would enter the top three with just luck! This is too coincidental!”

Long Chen hadn't officially entered the top three yet, but considering his previous fight with a Seventh Passage Stage disciple, it was certain that he would win this time too.

The Clear Shallows King had originally been angry at Liu Yiyi’s incident, but now she could barely contain her smile. Liu Yiyi was in the top six, while Long Chen would be in the top three. That meant her pavilion’s ranking would be higher than that of the Red Ghost Pavilion! The grand elders were fair in their assessment.

That meant Liu Yiyi wouldn’t have to marry Ying Shaotian, and the Red Ghost King was destined to kneel today!

Their promise from the past was made in front of witnesses. Not only was the Emperor Flame Pearl the focus of this assessment, everyone was also very excited to see the outcome of the promise between the Clear Shallows King and the Red Ghost King. It seemed the Clear Shallows King would come out on top.

“Red Ghost King, be a man and honor your words. Don’t make me look down on you! Don’t make everyone look down on you!” The Clear Shallows King’s words reverberated across the entire fourth layer of the Demon World.

“In your dreams! Jiang Cheng hasn't even entered the top three yet!” The Red Ghost King’s face was extremely sour. His body trembled and his chair was crushed!

“Shaotian, become the champion! Only then will I not have to kneel!” the Red Ghost King ordered.

“Champion? But Chen Feng is at the Ninth Passage Stage!” Ying Shaotian was certain that he would not be able to win.

The Red Ghost King knew that too. Chen Feng belonged to the Azure Purgatory Pavilion, and he had friendly relations with them. He wanted to ask Chen Feng to give Ying Shaotian the victory instead, but now it appeared to be impossible.

“There’s no chance Jiang Cheng will give up easily. Tell Chen Feng to kill Jiang Cheng as quickly as possible! That will at least let me kneel in peace!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve thought of a plan.” Ying Shaotian chuckled menacingly.

While they were whispering to each other, Long Chen walked up to the arena.

At the same time, Chen Feng was making his way off the arena, so they crossed paths.

“Careful. If you enter the top three, both me and Ying Shaotian will be sure to take good care of you, you lucky bastard!” Chen Feng said in a cold tone when he walked past Long Chen.

Long Chen had expected something like this to happen.

It was certain that Chen Feng would enter the top three, and Long Chen was confident that he would as well.

Ying Shaotian and Chen Feng were friends, so they were sure to team up and kill Long Chen! Long Chen was not afraid of Ying Shaotian, but he was wary of Chen Feng. It wouldn’t be easy to deal with both.

But Long Chen was not weak, and he hadn't even transformed once.

It was up to fate to decide who the Emperor Flame Pearl would go to in the end.

Everyone waited for the next match.

“Who will obtain the final spot?” Everyone was eager to see the outcome. Even Demon General Typhoon didn’t know what would happen.

“It will all depend on this fight! Start the battle!”

The moment he announced that, Long Chen’s body became a blur and he appeared in front of his opponent.

“So fast!” The disciple was just about to attack when Long Chen’s fist landed on his stomach. Long Chen then grabbed the disciple’s arm and threw him out of the arena.

Everything ended in a single breath.

Demon General Typhoon was shocked. This was the fastest match today. Long Chen had used his overwhelming speed and strength to defeat the enemy!

This meant he would advance into the final phase!

Jiang Cheng is amazing. They think he only succeeded due to his luck, but his strength is actually befitting someone at the top three.

Jiang Wushang sighed in awe.

The second phase had officially concluded.

Demon General Typhoon wanted to ask if anyone needed rest, but Long Chen glared at both Ying Shaotian and Chen Feng.

“Chen Feng, Ying Shaotian! Stop wasting time and come here!”

Ruthless!

Cocky!

Long Chen’s statement made it seem like he would take them both at the same time!

He knew that that would be the case. Both of them hated him, so how could they not work together to kill Long Chen?

“Chen Feng, kill Jiang Cheng and I will admit defeat afterwards!” Ying Shaotian whispered.
