Chapter 994 It Is Too Late

(Random Tournament Participant POV)

*A few moments before the tournament started*

I am Mei Qian Tu of the Guilin Sect, currently ranked number ten in the Top Hundred Young Genius Practitioner ranking.

Like everyone else who isn't completely incompetent, I have heard of the supposed newcomers that were absolutely full of themselves just for possessing a Sacred Treasure. To think they even dared to claim themselves as Gods!

My Sacred Treasure, Mortal Blade, allows me to cut through anything including Techniques, an ability that is in the realms of the Divine! It is with this blade that propelled me all the way to the top ten rankings!

And despite having such a treasure, I wasn't shameless enough to spit in the favour that the Gods have granted me to claim myself as a God!

It's obvious these idiots don't deserve their Sacred Treasures… So we'll do the Gods a favour by teaching them a lesson and taking their Sacred Treasure from them!

I stared at the golden haired girl that was on the other side of the stage. We were all arranged to start on the edges of the stage with a fixed distance between each participant so I found it a little upsetting that she was the furthest away from me.

This way of arranging participants would usually result in small skirmishes breaking out between the participants engaging the people closest to them, but this time everyone had their sights on the same person.

Everyone here wanted to humiliate and punish her, after all.

"Such a shame," The participant beside me sighed. "If only I had got here sooner, I might have been able to get her over to my side as part of my harem."

I looked to the side and grinned, "What's this? Is young Master Bu, the number fifteen of the Young Genius Practitioners, lusting over the one who insulted the Gods?"

Bu Yao Lian of the Abyss Sect, setting aside his position on the ranking, he was also known to collect women he fancies into his harem because of his Sacred Treasure.

Heart Crystal, the strength of the women he sleeps with also becomes his strength. In return, the women in his harem also share their strength with each other, allowing them to grow stronger than they would on their own.

He sneered at me, "You should watch your back, young master Mei. After I've had my fun with that girl, I'll make sure to take you down and claim my spot within the top ten rankings!"

I was about to bite back at him when the signal for the tournament to start sounded.

Immediately, my sword was unsheathed and I got ready to rush towards the girl, aiming to get at least a few cuts in before the others swarm her and I lose my chance to have my fun.

But right as I was about to leap forward, I realised the girl was no longer at her original position but in front of young master Suotou Wugui, ranked number twelve with the Sacred Treasure of Invincible Robes.

The treasure is said to be able to defend the wearer against even an Immortal realm Practitioner without any problems… Yet, what we're seeing now is the woman piercing her hand through his chest like the Treasure was nothing but cloth.

She turned back to face us just as young master Suotou Wugui disappeared from the arena, showing that it was indeed a fatal blow.

Could she… Could she be…

Someone roared and a few of the Practitioners charged at her.

Amongst them was my cousin, Mei Ming Zi, ranked number thirteen with his Sacred Treasure, Armbands of the Dragon. When equipped, he would be able to exude strength several levels above his limit, even injuring young master Suotou Wugui if he goes all out.

Ming Zi charged forward, his fist cocked back before he punched forward, the very air tearing itself from trying to hold him back.

The blow landed on the girl, except where it landed on was not where anyone expected it to go.

The girl looked at the fist she had caught with her hand, "Hmm… Weak."

She twisted her wrist and there was a loud crack as my cousin's arm was broken unceremoniously.

The others tried to flank her sides, aiming to cut her down while she was still occupied with my cousin.

Her face showed no signs of panic as she raised her other arm up into the sky, causing a few of us to look up just as lightning struck down from the clouds.

The participants that had tried to attack her were engulfed in columns of lightning, all of them instantly perishing to that attack.

Di… Divine Lightning?! She can command the lightning of the Gods?! Is that her Sacred Treasure?!

But that's not possible! We all heard that their Sacred Treasures were simply things that had to do with illusions and misdirection! This information was even given by the people under Master Hei's employ!

"Hmm? Even an attack of this level is enough to kill them? Are there no Sacred Treasure users here?" She mused.

My cousin got back up on his feet and tried to punch her with his other fist, only for the golden haired girl to catch it easily again.

"I suppose you don't have a Sacred Treasure either, in that case, don't waste my time please. At this point, only such people can entertain me," She sighed, breaking his arm the same way she did to his other one.

Ming Zi barely had time to scream out in pain before a bolt of lightning shot out from her other palm, piercing straight through his head and killing him.

Bu Yao Lian dashed forward from beside me and I thought he would be the next one to attack her, only to see him getting down on one knee with one arm stretched out to the girl.

"My heart was captured the moment I laid eyes on you! Won't you become my woman?!"

What the hell is this guy doing?!

"I think it's a good offer, no? I am Bu Yao Lian of the Abyss Sect! I have both fame and fortune and I'm not stingy either! I'm definitely a better choice so you can just dump that useless servant that you've brought and--"

Truthfully, I did not see what happened in that instant.

Bu Yao Lian was kneeling in front of the girl while she was looking at him with a perplexed look on her face, but the very next instant, the two of them had disappeared from my vision.

A strangled cry came from the side and I turned to see the girl holding up Bu Yao Lian by his throat, lifting him up easily into the air with a single hand.

"You… TRASH!!" She roared, her other hand ripping his arm out from its socket before bashing him in the face with it.

All of us watched her beat Bu Yao Lian to death with that torn limb, none of us even thinking about attacking her from behind.

"YOU TRASH!! TRASH!! ABSOLUTE TRASH!!" She screeched, continuing to rain blows upon his face.

Is… Is it too late for me to forfeit?
