Chapter 5362 A Tooth for a Tooth, a Life for a Life
Blood rained from the sky as one corpse after another collapsed, leaving the onlookers horrified.
According to the rules, anyone “killed” should have been transported off the stage, which represented that they had lost and could not keep participating. The goal was to stay on the stage for as long as possible, and that was how they were ranked.
But this time was different. From the moment the battle began, participants were truly dying, and the stage wasn’t transporting them out.
The disciples on the battlefield turned pale when they realized the deaths were real. In an instant, their arrogance vanished, replaced by sheer terror.
The higher-ups watching were equally shocked. The battle scenes were projected throughout the Wind God Sea Pavilion, causing gasps and startled cries from the audience. Only Feng Xinyue smiled calmly.
“He really didn’t disappoint me,” she said softly.
“What is going on?!” roared an assistant pavilion master.
“Look at that!” Suddenly, one elder pointed at the stones scattered throughout the stage.
“Inverse Wind Stones?! Why are they here?! Aren’t they supposed to be—” The old crone cried out, but quickly covered her mouth.
Indeed, 360 blood-colored stones lay scattered across the stage, unnoticed until now. Upon seeing them, the higher-ups panicked. No one else knew better than them what these Inverse Wind Stones represented. They disrupted the Wind Dominion Pearl’s power, transforming this into a true battle of life and death.
“Stop!” shouted an assistant pavilion master.
Tang Wan-er’s eyes blazed with fury. “Stop? You didn’t call for that when they were killing us. You didn’t stop when you twisted the rules in your favor. When you suppressed, bullied, and abused us, where was your call to stop? Keep dreaming! Today, I will avenge my sisters. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, a life for a life!”
With that, Tang Wan-er charged through the disciples, her sword cleaving them apart. Like a berserker, she raced toward the sixteen divine sons and daughters.
“Kill!”
Tang Wan-er’s frenzy ignited the Hidden Dragon Legion, who unleashed their long-suppressed rage. Thinking of how their sisters had died because of these people, they were filled with overflowing killing intent. Hence, they didn’t show the slightest mercy.
BOOM!
Mad Lightning lunged at Tang Wan-er with his lightning spear, blocking her sword. But with a powerful explosion, he was sent flying.
Tang Wan-er was also forced to a halt, her Blood Qi flipping. However, she didn’t bother adjusting her condition and directly shot after Mad Lightning, swinging her sword at him.
Shocked and caught off guard, Mad Lightning thrust his spear at her. Though he attacked second, since he used a spear, his strike would land first. However, Tang Wan-er ignored it and still swung her sword toward his head.
Panicking, Mad Lightning jerked his head to the side and swung his spear to block. The spear’s butt collided with the blade, but the Sword Qi sliced a piece of his scalp, sending blood spraying into the air.
Mad Lightning screamed in terror. Just now, if he had reacted one step slower, his head would have been cut in half.
“She’s crazy! She’s gone absolutely mad!” shrieked Mad Lightning as he fled.
Tang Wan-er chased after him. However, when she spotted the frightened Qian Renxue, her killing intent went in her direction.
“You’re angry that I took your spot, right? You see me as a thorn in your side? You wanted a life-and-death battle, huh? Fine!”
Fueled by both old and new grievances, Tang Wan-er attacked Qian Renxue with unrelenting fury.
Qian Renxue was paralyzed by the murderous look in Tang Wan-er’s eyes. It was as if she had been possessed by an asura. Overwhelmed by the sheer killing intent, Qian Renxue felt an icy fear grip her heart. She didn’t even have the courage to fight back and immediately turned to flee.
“Don’t retreat! Attack her together!” shouted a divine son. If Qian Renxue kept fleeing, it would only be a matter of time before Tang Wan-er caught up and killed her.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the other divine sons and daughters quickly joined forces. Tang Wan-er’s berserk fighting style was practically suicidal, and anyone facing her alone was at risk of being killed.
Despite repeatedly fleeing, Qian Renxue was no match for Tang Wan-er’s relentless assault. In just a few moves, Tang Wan-er disarmed her, sending her sword flying.
“No!” Qian Renxue screamed in terror.
Tang Wan-er’s sword fell, slicing Qian Renxue in half before anyone could intervene. Just like that, a divine daughter’s life ended in front of everyone.
The other divine sons and daughters reached Tang Wan-er at this moment. But all of a sudden, Tang Wan-er shouted, and her manifestation blazed with light. When her sword fell, a white moon fang sliced through the air, sending all of them flying.
“What?!”
Everyone was shocked by this scene. Just when did Tang Wan-er get this strong?
“She’s finally begun to awaken,” murmured Feng Xinyue, smiling in satisfaction. She had been waiting for this moment.
Tang Wan-er fought the divine sons and daughters all on her own, her killing intent shaking them to their core.
Her strikes were relentless. As one round of her attacks ended, a divine son made the fatal mistake of exposing an opening. In an instant, Tang Wan-er’s sword slashed through him, cutting him in two. Before anyone could react, her sword twisted again, and the two halves of his body were sliced into four.
The divine son’s soul was immediately extinguished, but even after the kill, Tang Wan-er’s bloodlust didn’t wane—it only grew stronger. Her continued assault shattered their pride and confidence. With two of their own already dead, the remaining divine sons and daughters were too terrified to put up a fight.
The process of deactivating the battlefield had already begun, but it would take at least an hour to fully activate the Wind Dominion Pearl’s power. When they saw Tang Wan-er in a state of frenzied rage, it was clear these disciples wouldn’t survive for that long.
Suddenly, Mad Lightning’s gaze shifted toward Long Chen, who was calmly observing the chaos. Blinded by fury, Mad Lightning shot toward him with burning anger.
“Capture him alive!” one of the divine sons shouted.
Long Chen stood still, his hands casually clasped behind his back. Just as Mad Lightning’s hand was about to reach his neck, Long Chen shook his head and sighed. “It seems the heavens have decided I must deal with you.”
“Kneel!” Mad Lightning roared, unleashing a surge of violet Doyen energy, crackling with lightning, as it engulfed Long Chen.
But in the midst of the lightning storm, a hand covered in starlight pierced through the violet energy, slapping Mad Lightning directly in the face.
With a thunderous explosion, the lightning dissipated. When the dust settled, people saw a twitching figure with only half his face remaining, and it was lying under Long Chen’s foot.
