Repugnant Gateway Chapter 147

An Zeng and the others had only just walked out of the gate when they saw a sullen young man coldly staring at them.

Ding Shengxia

Of course, An Zhe knew what Ding Shengxia was planning to do. He was definitely waiting to compete with An Zaiyue in the Martial Arts Academy's selection. As a result, he didn't partic.i.p.ate in the selection at all.

One could only imagine how fierce Ding Shengxia's breath was.

""So you're just a coward.""

Ding Shengxia looked at An Zhe and mocked, ""You knew that I was waiting for you in the selection, so you decided to hide your head and do nothing?""

""Do you feel angry?""

""You've been waiting for an opportunity to humiliate me in public, but in the end, you couldn't wait. It must be uncomfortable.""

Ding Shengxia replied, ""I said that I would defeat you in public and let the people from the Martial Arts Academy see that I, Ding Shengxia, am much stronger than you.""

So you can dodge this one, and you can't avoid the next.

I know that the Martial Arts Academy has already decided that you will definitely partic.i.p.ate in the Autumn Ceremony. You are a popular person in front of the King. I am thinking, if I defeat you in front of the King during the ceremony, would you want to die? ""

""Do you know the difference between you and me?""

He pointed to a tea stall not far away from the Martial Arts Academy. ""Go over there and ask for a few cups of tea, and some refreshments. We will go there later to celebrate.""

""Right … Fatty, start the gambling house with a few yells.""

""What bet?""

Gu Qianye's face was full of excitement. He jumped up and slapped Du's thin head. ""Stupid, we should just start a war of words and bet with that s.l.u.t Ding Yi.""

An Zeng rolled up his sleeves and said as he walked, ""The difference between you and me is that I won't wait when I want to beat someone up.""

Ding Shengxia's complexion slightly changed, then it turned malevolent, ""Since you want to die, I will grant you that wish.""

""I am no longer Ding Shengxia, who you defeated once before. I have already surpa.s.sed myself, I will …""

""So long-winded!""

Before Ding Shengxia could finish her sentence, An Zaihai's fist arrived. ""Just fight.""

Ding Shengxia dodged to the side and then slashed the knife toward the back of An Zui's neck.

An Zaihai's body rushed forward, and Ding Shengxia's blade missed its target.

However, a gale of wind descended, and actually carved a knife mark on the hard stone floor. It was neat and straight, and the cut on the stone was extremely smooth.

""As I said, I am no longer the me I was before.

""If you want to be humiliated by me before you can wait for the fall ceremony, then I'll give you face.""

Ding Shengxia turned around and stretched out her hand. ""Now I'll let you know the difference between you Humble Cla.s.s people and me.""

No matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you try, the gap won't close so easily.

I can get all the support of the family, and you?

Wasn't it luck?

""I have, have you?""

As his hand reached forward, wisps of cultivation power shot out from each of his five fingers.

This method of splitting the power of one's cultivation into several parts and controlling it with precision far exceeded the range of the Ascending Realm.

Even the average cultivator in the initial stage of the Xumi Realm would not be able to accomplish this.

""Dragon Binding Hands!""

Along with Ding Shengxia's shout, five streams of cultivation power formed five long whips of light blue air, extending out like vines, quickly wrapping around An Zeng's back.

It was once said that there were three types of states or comprehensions of a cultivator's cultivation level and strength.

The first type was tangible, which was to convert the power within one's body into tangible power. Only a cultivator in the Xumi Realm would be able to do this.

After the physical form, it would become formless. If one could convert the power of one's cultivation into formless power, one's battle power would increase exponentially.

When they reached the true height, they no longer cared if it was tangible or intangible.

With a turn of his feet, the tip of An Zhe's foot grinded half a circle on the stone floor. The stone floor under his feet was shattered into dust.

""You are no longer Ding Shengxia, but I am still the same old contentious.""

An Zhe's fist punched out, and a ball of air exploded three meters in front of him, scattering the five blue streams of air.

Ding Shengxia coldly snorted, ""The same old way, no progress at all!""

A person like you who cultivated on your own, what kind of cultivation technique do you know?

""Whatever cultivation technique I want, this is it. You can only use this one move over and over. How can you fight against me?!""

With his shout, the five streams of air became more solid. Then, the vines like air currents suddenly collapsed, forming five long spears.

""Five Appearances Spear!""

Ding Shengxia stretched out her hand and thrust forward. The five long spears formed from cultivation power immediately pierced forward.

These five spears did not move in tandem. Instead, it was as if the five spears were being controlled separately. The spears continued to move forward, one after the other.

Each shot was fast, and each shot was aimed at the vital points of An Zhe.

A spear stabbed him in the nose.

Just as he avoided it, a second gun came from the side, heading straight for his temple.

Ding Shengxia's five fingers kept moving, and the five spears also moved with them.

One shot was faster than the other. One shot was more accurate than the other.

The movement of his fingers was so small that it was faster than a person's dodging speed.

Therefore, it seemed that the fight for safety was a pa.s.sive one, being forced back by the five venomous serpent-like spears.

In the distance, there was a tea stall. Skinny Du had found a gong from an unknown place and was knocking on it loudly. ""Don't miss the opportunity to walk by. Everyone, quickly place your bets.""

""I'll sit in the village and fight for peace. If any of you don't accept this, you can bet with me.""

Once he shouted out, he immediately surrounded a group of people. The Yan Clan's people's willingness to gamble could clearly be seen.

Not long after, at least a few hundred people were snooping around the table, slapping silver.

""I bet twenty liangs on victory!""

""I bet one hundred taels of silver on Shengxia's win. He has obviously reached the realm of the Sumeru. An Zaihai is no match for him!""

""I also bet that Ding Shengxia will win. If a Xumi realm cultivator wants to crush an Elementary realm cultivator like An Zhe, it's simply a piece of cake.""

Gu Qianye pointed at Qu Liuxi and shouted, ""Don't be anxious, there are two rows.""

Those who place their bets and wins, head over there. Those who place bets and wins, come over to my side! ""

Not long after, even the instructors in the Martial Arts Academy were alarmed.

Many people ran out of the martial field and were dumbfounded.

The people from the casinos hanging on the tree outside the gate were furious. They thought to themselves, why don't you guys fight earlier?

A man who was hanging upside down had his face and neck red, and his b.u.t.tocks were even redder than his face. He shouted to Du, ""Come over here, come over here. I have some silver in my pocket, help me place a bet.""

Chang Huan and a few other lecturers walked out in quick steps. When they saw the fight between An Zeng and Ding Shengxia, their expressions changed.

""How is this proper!""

A lecturer said angrily, ""This dispute is way too outrageous! He's stirring up trouble outside again!""

Another lecturer said, ""No wonder there's such a thing as peace and quiet. That Ding Shengxia has been holding her breath for so long, wanting to take revenge for the conflict. Otherwise, why would he leave the Grand Cauldron Academy and come to our academy?""

He could have partic.i.p.ated in this year's Battle of Champions, but he had thrown aside his few years of cultivation experience in exchange for a chance to defeat An Zaiyue.

""With his current power, it shouldn't be difficult for him to defeat An Zhan … Unfortunately, originally, the Martial Arts Academy planned to let An Xuan fight for the Elite Armament and not let him take action, then they would reveal their true abilities when the Autumn Ceremony begins. Now that he is fighting Ding Shengxia, he will definitely be forced to use his full strength.""

Another person said, ""It's better to stop him for a moment. Otherwise, not only would he lose the fight, he would also be injured.""

""It's impossible for him to defeat Ding Shengxia, who has already reached the spatial realm.""

""Wait.""

Chang Huan waved her hand, ""Let them fight.""

The few of them were stunned. They knew that Chang Huan didn't like fighting, and guessed that this was the method she wanted to use to teach him a lesson.

Having Ding Shengxia injure An Zhan, he looked like he was relieved of his anger. He didn't need to bear any responsibility yet.

""That's not good. After all … After all, An Zhe is Lord Chen's favorite student.""

Chang Huan's expression changed, ""When I say let them fight, I mean let them fight.""

They looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that An Bian could no longer dodge, Ding Shengxia knew that An Bian was no longer his opponent. He became more and more manic. ""I've already said it before, what are you going to use to fight me for?""

Do you poor kids from the countryside really think that you can reach the top of Fang Beng City in a single step?

People like you want to fight for the future and the position, what right do you have to fight with me for it?

The reason why I lost to you in the past is because I didn't put you in my eyes at all.

His five fingers continued to stretch out, and the five spears became sharper and sharper.

An Zeng retreated, and five long spears stabbed at him. They kept stabbing down in front of him, and holes appeared on the ground one after another. They could fly away at any time.

It seemed that An Zhe didn't even have the strength to fight back. The people who were lining up to bet started to regret their decisions. The long line that originally lined up with Qu Liuxi all ran towards Gu Qianye.

Gu Qianye wasn't angry at all.

An Zaiyue dodged slower by a bit, and a long spear cut open a hole in his sleeve, nearly causing him to be injured.

At this moment, those who had bet their bets all started moving towards Gu Qianye.

""You will never be able to see so many of the techniques in my hands in your entire life.""

Ding Shengxia raised her other hand and her sleeves puffed up like a sail that had been full, ""Trans.m.u.tation Unity Qi!""

Following his shout, a green ball shot out from the bulging sleeve. This ball was pure cultivation power and was extremely ferocious.

The ma.s.s of air shot towards An Zeng. Wherever it pa.s.sed by, a straight ditch was opened on the bluestone that was under the ma.s.s of air.

As the air ma.s.s shot out, Ding Shengxia's other hand moved five fingers in quick succession. The five long spears suddenly turned around and stabbed towards An Zhan from behind.

The ball of air had already arrived in front of An Zhe.

Whether it was to retreat or to dodge to the sides, there was no chance at all.

""Go to h.e.l.l!""

Ding Shengxia shouted with red eyes as she vented the anger in her heart.

He looked at the ball of air in front of him and suddenly stretched out both his hands. ""Competing in martial arts?""

The five fingers on his left hand moved at the same time, and five saber-like cyclones appeared, then cut off the five spears.

In the center of his right palm, a fist-sized ma.s.s of air welcomed the attack and collided heavily with Ding Shengxia's ma.s.s of air.

""I will use whatever technique you use.""

He retracted the five fingers on his left hand and the five sabers disappeared. His cultivation power grabbed Ding Shengxia's cultivation base and dragged the five long spears from his back. Then, he stabbed them toward Ding Shengxia even faster.

After the two spheres collided, a fierce wind swept out in all directions, and the walls on both sides of the wall collapsed with a loud bang.

Ding Shengxia's gaseous ma.s.s was even bigger, but it was actually knocked away by the small gaseous ma.s.s and then smashed towards Ding Shengxia's chest.

Ding Shengxia's complexion changed greatly, ""This is impossible!""

Both of his hands were linked and moving, but the power of his cultivation had already been cut off by An Zhe. He was unable to control himself.

He suddenly retracted both his hands. With a clench of the void, a longsword radiating with bright light appeared in his hands. ""Open it for me!""

The sword cut down on An Zhe's ball of air and actually split it apart.

Following that, he swept with his longsword, breaking the five long spears in half. ""You also know this technique, but do you have my magical equipment!""

As soon as he finished his words, he saw An Zhe rus.h.i.+ng towards him, his right hand holding onto a brick that he had just pulled out from the wall. ""F * ck your head!""

Bang!

The brick directly slapped on Ding Shengxia's forehead, instantly slapping a ten thousand points of peach blossoms.

Blood splattered everywhere, like a peach blossom petal that had been blown off by the wind.

Before Ding Shengxia could react, the second strike of the brick came again. This time, it was even heavier!

Bang!

The brick broke into pieces on Ding Shengxia's forehead, turning it into a b.l.o.o.d.y red.
