3/5
It might be a careless mistake in the defending side’s part or it might not, however, just the fact alone that a Core Formation Realm cultivator manages to inflict damage upon an expert of the Ascension Realm is something undeniable, especially since everyone present in the coliseum can see that deep gash running along the stern-looking middle-aged man’s right arm, the one he used to try and block the immortal-like young man’s attack.
Said man is now looking at the young man in front of him with anger in his eyes, the humiliation he’s currently experiencing more than enough to bring a full pledged normal adult man into hyperventilating, yet he holds on steadily, merely displaying traces of his anger on the surface, a proof of his powerful mental and emotional strength.
Taking out a container from his spatial ring, Wu Xiaolong pops out a pill brimming with vitality, stimulating the area damaged by the immortal-like young man’s attack, stopping the blood flow immediately yet the flesh still wide open, squirming frantically as if it’s struggling to heal and connect itself once more.
“Bastard!!! What did you do!??” looking at the flesh refusing to completely heal, Wu Xiaolong’s hatred filled eyes are redirected to Wu Xiaotian, his shout scaring the majority of the people still in the coliseum, most of them being the geniuses that fails to vacate the area as they want to watch whatever is about to happen thinking that it’s going to be a good show.
“Not so magnanimous now, aren’t we?” looking at the angry figure, Wu Xiaotian just mocks with a little smile on his face, swinging the hand with the spatial sword created by [Rend] still in it, alerting the stern-looking man once again, using his strength to avoid getting caught by the peculiar attack that nearly cost him his life.
“You forced me to do this” looking at him while floating at the sky, Wu Xiaolong takes out a peculiar black bead that seems to have some array engraved in it, his manic smile as he does so distorting his face, the bead glowing once he injects his qi in it, producing an eerie feeling in the atmosphere.
This black glow, after remaining stationary in the air for a few seconds, rushes towards Wu Xiaotian hurriedly, causing the people related to him to rush towards his direction in worry, one among the people reaching the fastest being Mo Lingxue, trying to use her strength to ward of the glow, yet it was too late, it already reaches their position.
Along with Wu XIaolong’s laughter and the shouts from the other elders of the Heavenly Secret Tower, only one person remains unmoving, knowing full well what the thing the stern-looking man do, as well as the fact that whatever its effect is, it is not going to work on the immortal-like young man.
That is why he’s the one being surprised the most the moment another word comes out of Wu Xiaolong’s mouth, prompting the immortal-like young man to follow it to the period, the young man’s eyes now devoid of any sort of life, like a puppet just waiting for order.
“Fuck!! Wu Xiaolong! Whatever you’re doing, stop it now!!! Let the kid go!!” seeing how the young man is acting, Hua Jingxian, the one arguably the closest to the young man among the elderly people of the Heavenly Secret Tower, shouts while trying to rush to the stern looking man’s place, only to be blocked by the son-in-law he is really proud of.
“HAHAHAHA!!! Hua Jingxian, you never expected this outcome don’t you!?? It’s such a pity that this is revealed earlier than expected, but it doesn’t matter now!!! This kid is mine to order around!!!” looking at the people victoriously, Wu Xiaolong announces, ordering the immortal-like young man to come close to him, prepared to use him as a meat shield the moment that the stronger ones decided to make a move on him.
“Bow down” Wu Xiaolong ordered as the immortal-like young man gets into proximity near him, deciding to take his time to mark the young man with the seal that his father entrusted him with, a seal binding the young man completely to him, making it so that he’s in full control of the young man’s life.
“Why don’t you try bowing down?” as the stern-looking man celebrates in his mind, his wandering thoughts got interrupted by a familiar voice, scaring him so much that he starts moving away from the puppet-like young man in front of him.
As he moves back though, the very same voice comes out from behind him, the words entering his ear sending shivers all throughout his entire body.
“Where are you going?” as the question comes out of his mouth, Wu Xiaotian swings once again, his first attempt on hitting Wu Xiaolong when he enters close proximity missing his target, yet now, succeeding to hit him once again causing the stern-looking man to look at him in pure terror, wondering how such a brat is able to defy everything again and again, said terror overshadowing his desire to put the immortal-like young man under his control.
“H-how?” holding his face, particularly, his left eyes now with a deep wound treading across it, Wu Xiaolong asks with shaking voice, in disbelief that even one of the sect’s most treasured possession, a technique that is guaranteed to control an individual no matter how strong their mental prowess are, fails to even affect the young man in front of him.
“Karma works in a wondrous way isn’t it, Wu Xiaolong? Back then, you people want to take my sight, now look at you…” Wu Xiaotian said, unmoving in his place, knowing full well that he just manages to hurt the man in front of him by surprising him time and time again, and the moment that he tries to attack again, he’s more than likely to go and drag him to death or try his best to escape, either of them an unwanted thing to him.
‘Seeing how they react, I can definitely get help from the elders and even to Uncle Jingxian and the others now, however…’ as he drifts into thinking, Wu Xiaotian’s gaze eventually lands on someone, a goddess-like figure that seems to shine brighter than anyone else in his eyes, the divine face, the motherly body, the water-like hair freely flowing across her porcelain skin, the very same figure looking at him with relief in her eyes, as if she just removed some thorn on her sides as she watches him struggle against the stern-looking man.
‘I should probably leave taking revenge on him for mom, she had so much grievance with this bastard to begin with’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he smiles at the motherly figure in the distance, the mature beauty also sending a smile on him.
“Uncle Jingxian, hold them down” Wu Xiaotian requests as he look at Wu Xiaolong, Hua Jingxian immediately arriving behind the stern-looking man, pushing him into the ground, while his sister, Hua Xueyan, moves to restrain the young-looking man just floating near them, still stupefied by everything that just proceeded.
As the two were brought to the ground, the young-looking man remains silent and scared, while Wu Xiaolong tries his best to struggle and get up, failing time and time again proving Hua Jingxian’s strength being better than him.
“This isn’t over Wu Xiaotian!!!” he declared, trying to add another sentence again, but got interrupted as a mysterious force sweeps not only through him but also the other people still watching the spectacle, the only ones being left behind by this peculiar force being the people familiar with him.
As the peculiar force wraps around the entire coliseum, waves of laughter come out of the immortal-like young man’s mouth, his unrestrained voice echoing through the entire building as he starts talking once again.
