Chapter 961: Chapter 961: Tu Hu’s Knife

Zhou Tong’s chest burned with raging fury, his fists clenched tightly, his fighting spirit rapidly climbing, his whole being entering a state of readiness for battle, like a bow drawn taut, ready to unleash the most fierce and violent attack upon his adversary at any moment.

The nine team members behind Zhou Tong also released their Martial Artist Auras, pressing toward Tu Hu and his companions across the way.

Although in terms of numbers, Tu Hu’s side, with the addition of Huang Miao’s team, had a significant advantage, the various Martial Artist teams spectating from afar believed that when considering overall strength, Zhou Tong’s party still held absolute superiority.

After all, Zhou Tong was a Core Disciple with Heaven Level High Rank strength; he alone was enough to match up against the combined forces of Inner Court Disciples like Tu Hu, Huang Miao, Hou Ziping, and Fang Bai.

The majority of the nine team members behind Zhou Tong were also formidable fighters listed on the Inner Court Disciple power rankings, and they were more than capable of dealing with the rest of Tu Hu’s team.

Therefore, once the two sides started fighting, no one believed Tu Hu’s party stood a chance.

For Zhou Tong’s team, all ten members looked down upon and scorned the teams of Tu Hu and Huang Miao, confident that crushing them would be a piece of cake.

What pleased Zhou Tong and the others was that Tu Hu and Huang Miao’s teams had apparently reaped a bountiful harvest in the mountain this time; defeating them would mean taking all their gains for themselves.

Each mountain expedition organized by Bitao Martial Academy allowed teams to compete against each other and even attack one another, so long as they didn’t deliberately take lives. Such fierce competition facilitated the enhancement of the Martial Artists’ strength.

The standoff between Zhou Tong’s and Tu Hu’s teams arose because Zhou Tong wanted to seize the Cultivation Resources that Tu Hu and the others had acquired. Then, Huang Miao, Fang Bai, and others arrived and unwaveringly joined Tu Hu’s side, which Zhou Tong saw as a direct challenge to his authority as a Core Disciple and it infuriated him greatly.

Zhou Tong had initially set his sights on Huang Miao as his next conquest, but her behavior today had greatly displeased him. Moreover, seeing that she had no admiration or respect for him as a Core Disciple incensed him even further.

"If I want this Huang Miao to become my woman, it seems I’ll have to assert my dominance with my fists and make her submit completely. Hmm, Tu Hu is the strongest among them; I’ll start with him then!"

Having thought this, Zhou Tong no longer paid attention to Huang Miao and the others. He raised his hand, pointing at Tu Hu, and with a killing intent said, "Junior Brother Tu, do you dare to come and fight me? If you can withstand a hundred moves from me, I’ll let you all go! Otherwise... it’s just your bad luck! Of course, you can choose to fight as a group, but you’ll bear the consequences!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than everyone’s eyes turned to Tu Hu.

Zhou Tong and Tu Hu, one a Core Disciple at the Heaven Level High Rank realm and the other an Inner Court Disciple at the Heaven Level Middle Rank realm. Despite what seemed like a small difference in realms, it was enough for Zhou Tong to easily crush Fang Bai.

Apart from Tu Hu, Fang Bai, and a scant few others, everyone believed that it would be very difficult for Tu Hu to last a hundred moves against Zhou Tong.

Although Fang Bai was very optimistic about Tu Hu, Huang Miao still felt some anxiety knowing that if Tu Hu were defeated by Zhou Tong, the consequences would be severe.

Despite having little interaction with Zhou Tong, Huang Miao had heard that he was ruthless and merciless. Once he bore a grudge against a fellow disciple, he disregarded any sense of camaraderie and would use any method or means to torture the other party to a miserable state.

In the look Zhou Tong gave Tu Hu, Huang Miao saw intense Killing Qi, indicating that Zhou Tong had already harbored the intent to kill him.

If Tu Hu were defeated, he would certainly be gravely injured, and being in a place close to the deep mountain’s belly, if he were to encounter a powerful Spirit Beast attack afterwards, he might not even be able to save his own life.

Huang Miao desperately wanted to join forces with Tu Hu to fight against Zhou Tong, but she also knew that Tu Hu, proud as he was, would absolutely refuse to team up with her.

"Senior Brother Tu, let’s fight as a group!"

Huang Miao urgently said to Tu Hu.

In Huang Miao’s eyes, a group fight might give them a chance since they had a numerical advantage, but if it were a one-on-one duel, Tu Hu’s defeat was already assured.

"Heh..."

Tu Hu suddenly burst into laughter and said to Huang Miao, "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Huang. You all just watch the battle here! Core Disciples may be strong, but they are not invincible!"

As he spoke, he had already started moving his feet, striding forward to stand in front of Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong was very angry, really wanting to kill Tu Hu.

That’s because in the gaze from Tu Hu, he actually caught a sense of contempt and disdain. It was like a silent provocation that he couldn’t bear.

"Surprising. Junior Brother Tu seems to have some courage!"

Seeing Tu Hu walk out alone, clearly wanting to duel with him, Zhou Tong laughed. He thought that he would not stop until he had beaten him half to death.

"I am prepared to fight Senior Brother Zhou with a blade. Please, Senior Brother Zhou, draw your weapon as well!"

Tu Hu extended the long saber he always carried with his left hand, grasping the hilt with his right, and slowly drew the blade from its black beast-leather sheath.

Suddenly, the gleaming blade appeared under the daylight, a chilling killing qi emanating from the blade, which also carried a faint scent of blood.

"What a good saber!"

Seeing the shiny long saber in Tu Hu’s hands, someone from one of the several teams watching from a distance couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Senior Brother Tu didn’t used to use a saber. After his last failure in challenging a Core Disciple, he got a saber from somewhere and has not been without it since. However, if I recall correctly, this is the first time he has used a saber in a duel with a Martial Artist."

Huang Miao whispered to Fang Bai and others by her side.

Fang Bai’s gaze swept over the long saber in Tu Hu’s hands, and he felt a slight movement in his heart.

He could tell at a glance that the long saber had tasted a lot of blood, which was somewhat similar to the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his own Spatial Ring. Both were lethal to men, and a blade must drink blood whenever it is unsheathed.

However, the grandeur of the two sabers was not to be mentioned in the same breath.

Tu Hu’s long saber was just a purely offensive weapon, a lifeless object that had some evil qi because it had killed many people.

But Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade transcended ordinary weapons, as it was a Spiritual Artifact for attacking, possessing some initial spirituality. Fang Bai could control it with his Divine Sense to launch attacks and defenses.

In comparison, Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade was like a ferocious tiger, whereas Tu Hu’s long saber was like a gentle kitten. The disparity in strength was obvious at a glance.

"To defeat a mere Inner Court Disciple like you, do I even need a weapon? I can beat you with my bare hands!"

Zhou Tong laughed heartily, his arrogance laid bare.

Tu Hu didn’t get angry but instead calmed down. He also turned his saber around, pointing the tip towards Zhou Tong, who was still laughing.
