Chapter 363: Chapter 340 Chaos Part 1

"Jin Yehua..." Xia Mingtao’s massive longbow slowly lowered. "Even coming from Jin Yehua’s people, for you to say such things to an A-Class Warrior, you have quite the nerve," he said in a deep voice.

In the sky, the insignia resembling golden flowers flickered gently. The several B-Class Warriors nearby, their expressions shifting, finally descended slowly. Several auras retracted instantly.

The white-clothed young man descended too,

"By the authority of the Supervisor, I order the removal of Xia Mingtao as Inspector, effective immediately," he said coldly, scanning the surroundings with a glance, "No objections, I assume?"

A B-Class Warrior’s face flashed with anger, about to step forward to speak, but was quickly held back tightly by his companion.

"He’s from the Jin Yehua family; that family only has a few members. Don’t confront him head-on," his companion whispered.

The Warrior’s expression changed, but in the end, he did not step forward.

As for the large group of Silver Armored Guards around, they were completely confused about the situation. They could only stand there, not knowing what to do. The leader of the guards hesitated for a moment, but still quietly ordered his subordinates to retreat and regroup.

"It looks like this is a conflict among the high-ranking officials of the tournament. We better not get involved," the Deputy Commander of Silver Armor said softly.

The commander nodded slowly.

"Retreat!"

With a large number of personnel leaving, the field was left with only the white-clothed young man and Xia Mingtao.

"Everyone, begin the tournament as per the standard procedure."

The white-clothed young man said loudly.

As the personnel withdrew, Lin Fei also quietly blended into the crowd and directly entered the tournament area.

He cast one last glance outside, where the white-clothed young man and Xia Mingtao seemed to be speaking to each other. Both appeared to be using some sort of power like voice transmission, as no sound was coming from outside.

Xia Mingtao’s face held hesitance, as if he was contemplating something. The white-clothed young man was very certain, appearing completely at ease.

Lin Fei did not continue to watch. He entered the entrance, turned a few corners, walked along a long corridor, and finally entered the tournament field.

The entire field was just like a gigantic soccer stadium, teeming with clusters upon clusters of black-armored warriors.

As he entered, some of the black armors at the entrance of the field immediately cast wary glances at her.

Lin Fei, following the location given by his golden clothes, walked slowly. He could feel that if he made any excessive moves, the overly tense black armors surrounding him might attack in a group.

After traveling a considerable distance, he saw the golden clothes standing alone leaning against the protective wall at the edge of the field, with no other black armors around.

The two of them met up.

"Did you run into trouble earlier?" Karen asked with a light chuckle.

"I was almost forced to leave. Xia Longque’s influence is indeed strong. Not being on our home turf really feels terrible," Lin Fei said indifferently.

"With your current strength, you might have a great advantage over an A-Class Dream Eater, but facing a Psychic of the same level could be dangerous. However, we could just leave if it comes to that," Karen said casually.

"Perhaps," Lin Fei said noncommittally, "When does the tournament begin?"

"Right away."

Boom!!

A series of continuous booming sounds gradually spread from around the field.

A giant black protective dome slowly descended from the sky. The entire field dimmed at once, and inside the protective layer, a soft glow lit up from somewhere, becoming the sole source of illumination.

"In twenty minutes, those who have knocked down over a hundred opponents will advance. If none, the tournament will end automatically," a synthesized mechanical voice announced.

Instantly, the entire field burst into noisy chaos.

Small groups of black armors tensed to the extreme, while larger teams remained relatively calm. In contrast, individual black armors and those with only a few companions were already preparing to take action. Various weapons appeared in the hands of the warriors.

Hisss!

A blue beam of light exploded suddenly.

It was unclear who struck first.

Like igniting a powder keg, the entire field erupted instantly.

Several beams of light shot towards Lin Fei mercilessly, but were blocked by a face-shaped black mist in an instant.

The attackers gave up decisively, seemingly realizing the difficulty of Lin Fei and the other’s edge and turned to target easier opponents instead.

"In a chaotic battlefield like this, it’s best to eliminate the easier targets first to avoid dragging things out, making it easier to advance," Lin Fei said quietly, stepping back half a stride as a black column of light struck precisely where he had stood, wafts of blue smoke slowly rising.

"Let’s get started." The Black Demon Sword in his hand blurred for a moment, its countless black auras condensing into a black spinning sphere.

He tossed it lightly, and the black sphere, seemingly weightless, flew directly into a group of black armors.

Suddenly, a faint cry of alarm arose. The crowd dispersed quickly, but it was still a step too late.

The black sphere exploded violently, transforming into numerous black faces the size of human heads. The faces howled and laughed maniacally as they pierced through over a dozen black-armored warriors.

"Karen!!" Cries of shock occasionally came from the crowd.

"Spread out!!"

"That’s the Black Demon Sword!"

Multiple totem halos flashed briefly before being engulfed by the dark energy.

The rampant dark energy crazily weaved through the crowd.

Cries of alarm from the Black Demon Sword were incessantly heard; clearly, many recognized this kind of dark energy.

Some flashes of white light passed through, destroying a portion of the dark energy, but even more continued to run rampant.

Lin Fei leaned quietly against the wall, merely watching as the dark energy with ghastly faces freely attacked all the black-armored soldiers around.

"Once the Black Demon Sword gathers momentum, its destructive power is quite astonishing, especially in battles like this," said the man in golden armor with clicks of his tongue in admiration, "However, my lord, your dark energy seems to be dwindling."

"That’s inevitable," Lin Fei scanned the surroundings, the countless strands of dark energy enshrouded him like a figure wrapped in black smoke. But through the dark veil, he could still see the large number of black ghostly faces rapidly diminishing.

The Black Demon Sword only caught the black-armored fighters off guard at the start, but after quickly regrouping, they each found ways to counter it.

"Don’t let the Black Demon Sword’s aura touch you directly! This kind of aura fears fire and light attacks the most!! Everyone be careful!" shouted a spectacled black-armored soldier firmly, dodging a ghost face that pounced at him continuously. "As long as we aren’t touched directly by the Black Demon Sword, it won’t get replenished, and if we wipe out all the black ghost faces, the bearer of the Black Demon Sword will lose most of his combat power!!"

He kept yelling loudly to remind everyone.

The surrounding black-armored soldiers formed a temporary alliance against the common enemy due to the dark energy. Hearing his words, they nodded in agreement or shouted in approval, quickly drawing out light beam firearms and conjuring up protective barriers of potential energy.

Those who dared to enroll in the tournament were almost without exception no weaklings.

Crack...

A burst of snow-white brightness suddenly appeared not far away, and a chill rapidly spread in waves. A layer of white frost quickly stretched across the ground.

The exclamations of the crowd, like the blasts of bombs, and the mournful cries of totem beasts, threw the entire arena into complete chaos.

"It’s the Snow Demon!"

"Take him down!!"

"Everyone, take him down together!"

Somewhere in the distance, some people’s shouting could be heard.

"Quick! Hurry! The dark energy is almost gone!!" The man with the glasses looked somewhat pale from overexertion, but his expression was tinged with the joy of nearing the end of the ordeal.

With a roll, he dodged a ghost face that lunged at him, and with precise aim, he fired three shots. Three beams of white light struck the sinisterly-grinning ghost face, which let out a scream before dissipating into countless strands of dark energy.

The surrounding ghost faces made of dark energy were also rapidly diminishing, almost completely eradicated.

"It’s almost over! Let’s take out the wielder of the Black Demon Sword first!!" shouted a black-armored man as he charged frantically towards Lin Fei, with the phantom of a giant bear appearing behind him. His footsteps on the ground were faintly tremulous.

Lin Fei shook his head slightly, slowly drawing out the Black Demon Sword at his waist. Immediately, with a hissing sound, countless tendrils of dark energy burst forth from the sword, dyeing the air blacker than ink, a volume far surpassing the dark energy released before. Hundreds of black ghost faces scattered chaotically. The ghastly laughter took complete possession of this corner of the arena.

The joy on the bespectacled man’s face instantly solidified.

In his field of vision, the man enveloped in dark energy stood there with an indifferent expression, surrounded by innumerable ghost faces, holding a longsword emitting dark energy.

That was the last scene he witnessed.

Lin Feipeng calmly looked at the black-armored fighters sprawled all around him.

The sudden burst of black energy caught the surrounding black-armored fighters off guard, instantly felling dozens of them.

"Snow Demon has qualified." A voice suddenly proclaimed. With the utterance, the chilliness pervading the entire area dissipated.

A man with snow-white hair falling to his waist was slowly enveloped in white light, gradually rising, and then vanishing from sight. The numerous patches of ice and snow around him swiftly melted away.

A glimmer of surprise flashed across Lin Fei’s eyes. "Such a powerful aura." The figure engulfed in the white beam, his body faintly exuding an extremely powerful aura, must also be a B-level.

"He too must have concealed his true strength. If my new True Force probing wasn’t extremely powerful, I probably wouldn’t have detected his real power," Lin Fei withdrew his gaze.

"Ziling has qualified." The synthetic mechanical voice sounded again.

Another beam of white light came down. A purple figure swiftly ascended, disappearing in the light beam just the same.

"That’s the purple-clothed woman who was previously by Xia Longque’s side," Lin Fei recalled of Ziling.

He scanned the surroundings.

Within the vicinity of dozens of meters, all black-armored soldiers had been directly taken out, and those farther away tactfully avoided the area. Some powerful auras also stayed far away, clearly not ready to prematurely engage with a too-strong opponent.

"After all, we have to go through three consecutive matches, and everyone knows well that confronting a strong opponent too early on, one who’s not significantly weaker, will only get oneself eliminated prematurely," the man in golden armor whispered.

The two of them stood amidst a sea of dark energy. A vast number of ghost faces wandered in the area around them, like sharks on the hunt.

"This is where I take my leave," the man in golden armor said with a smile.

"You’re not going to continue?"

"There’s no need. I have my own path," the golden-armored man shook his head, "I was merely accompanying you."

Lin Fei said no more.

The golden-armored man, Yuan Yicheng, and Ye Yuhua, though they were all strong fighters resurrected by him and absolutely loyal to him, each had their dignity and path and couldn’t always follow by his side. And he gave each of them the utmost respect.

The golden-armored man walked away with a smile.

Countless black ghost faces and tendrils of dark smoke automatically parted to create a passageway for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and Monthly Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
