Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 113 113

?Wang Ruyue and the other two became tense and anxious when they heard Jin Zhaohui signal the start of the battle between Tenku and Kong Ming. They were shocked when they saw the first clash of the two in the arena and felt Kong Ming's cultivation base.

"What!? Wasn't Kong Ming's cultivation base at the late stage of the Earth Origin realm? Why is he now in great perfection!?" Wang Ruyue stood up from her seat and said frantically. Her actions attracted the attention of the people around her. Wang Ruyue realized her mistake and quickly sat back in embarrassment.

"Has he been hiding his strength all this time?" Huang Yuxin added. She became even more worried when she found out about it.

"I don't think so. I believe Kong Ming's cultivation base was at the late stage of the Earth Origin realm yesterday. But it seems he was on the verge of great perfection and had the opportunity to break through last night. Don't you notice that his cultivation base is a bit unstable? I think he didn't have enough time to consolidate his realm after he broke through." Wang Zeming refuted their words and explained his opinion.

"Is that true?" Wang Ruyue looked at Wang Zeming and then turned her attention to the battle in the arena.

"Yes. His cultivation base did look unstable. Even so, the cultivator in the great perfection was still much stronger than the middle stage in the Earth Origin realm. I think it's difficult for Tenku to win this match." Wang Zeming sighed and shook his head helplessly. If Tenku lost in that battle, the Wang family's hopes of winning the competition would vanish.

"I don't care if he loses or wins in that match. The most important thing is that he comes back in good condition." Wang Ruyue replied. Now she no longer cares about the martial arts competition or the marriage agreement between the Wang family and the Gu family. All she could think about right now was Tenku's safety.

Beside her, Huang Yuxin was dumbfounded when she heard Wang Ruyue's words. She knew a bit about the matter between the Wang family and the Gu family because it wasn't a secret. Huang Yuxin also knew about the two families' marriage agreements, and Wang Ruyue was involved.

The outcome of this match should have decided Wang Ruyue's fate. But that girl cared more about Tenku than herself. Huang Yuxin felt like she had lost to her. Even so, she will not give up trying to make her fake boyfriend pay more attention to her.

(I won't lose to you!)

Huang Yuxin clenched her fists tightly and showed a determined face.

"I understand. In that case, we can only pray for his safety. But if he can win, it will be even better." Wang Zeming agrees with Wang Ruyue's words. He had already lost hope of winning the martial arts competition. So what he wanted now was for them to return safely.

But after Wang Zeming finished his sentence, someone suddenly laughed, and it was heard from a seat not far from him. The voice came from Gu Qingyang, and he had been quietly listening to their conversation.

"Hahaha... do you think he can win against Kong Ming? I feel that you are overestimating the strength of that Japanese boy. Or perhaps you are dreaming the Wang family could win this competition?" Gu Qingyang sneered.

"He wins or loses; it's none of your business. So shut up your rotten mouth!" Wang Ruyue said coldly.

"Please don't be angry, my future wife. After this competition ends, I will ask my grandfather to hold a lavish wedding. After all, we are geniuses from a major family, and our wedding ceremony should be lively and celebrated throughout China." Gu Qingyang was not angry and instead took Wang Ruyue's words calmly.

"Don't talk nonsense! Could you stop calling me like that!? That sounds so disgusting to my ears! I thought you were the one dreaming here! Till I die, I will never marry you!" Wang Ruyue retorted.

"No matter what you or the Wang family say, you will be mine and marry me after I win this competition." Gu Qingyang smiled and turned his attention back to the arena.

Wang Ruyue's body trembled upon hearing that, and she clenched her fists tightly until her nails dug into her skin and dripped blood. Her face was pale, and tears were flowing from her eyes.

Huang Yuxin couldn't help but sigh when she saw Wang Ruyue's situation. As a fellow woman, she felt sorry for Wang Ruyue, but she could only keep quiet on this matter because she was afraid of offending Gu Qingyang. Although the Huang family is also a martial arts family, they are not as powerful as the four major families. So she decided to stay silent and not interfere.

Wang Zeming was angry because of Gu Qingyang's words. But before he could say anything, he saw an iron staff flying out of the arena.

Clank!

"What is Kong Ming doing?" Wang Ruyue said confusedly and quickly wiped away her tears.

"I don't know. The last thing I saw was Tenku managed to deal with his attacks many times, and he suddenly threw away his weapon. I can't hear what they're talking about from here." Huang Yuxin shook her head.

After that, they saw Kong Ming attack with his index finger like thrusting a sword, and Tenku confronted him with his spear.

The audience thought that Kong Ming's actions were foolish because his finger could be crushed if it collided with Tenku's weapon. But what happened next was different from what they had imagined. Kong Ming managed to counter Tenku's spear with his finger.

CLANK!

"Huh? What kind of attack was that? I've never seen or heard of it." Huang Yuxin asked.

"If I remember correctly, that attack is called Tathagata finger. It is one of the techniques of Shaolin. Kong Ming compressed his Qi in his finger and used it to attack. As for its power, you guys have seen it firsthand, and it's no less than a spearhead, or it might be stronger if he used more Qi." Wang Zeming explained.

"Wouldn't Tenku be seriously injured if hit by that attack directly?" Huang Yuxin said in a trembling voice.

"Tenku…" Wang gripped her knees tightly and looked at Tenku worriedly.

Meanwhile, Tenku in the arena was slightly surprised by Kong Ming's attack. He didn't expect his opponent also to have such a technique. Tenku felt that the match became more interesting the more cards Kong Ming used.

"Is that one of the techniques that can be used after you train the Vajra Holy Body?" Tenku asked curiously.

"Ooh... you can see it?" Kong Ming was surprised when he heard Tenku's question. He had not expected his opponent to figure out the essence of his attack quickly.

"It's not hard to see. I believe that attack can only be used if your physique is strong. If your body is weak, your finger might break because it can't hold a large amount of Qi compressed at one point." Tenku said casually.

"You are right. This technique cannot be learned if you do not cultivate the Vajra Holy Body. Because of that, this finger technique is powerful and might be able to kill you instantly if I use my full power." Kong nodded and quickly acknowledged it.

"In that case, I want to see how good your technique is." Tenku smiled slightly and charged toward Kong Ming. He compressed the Qi in his spearhead and thrust it successively.

Thousands of Stabs!

Kong Ming frowned when he saw the hundreds of spearheads coming at him. His finger techniques could only deal with a single attack. Kong Ming changed the shape of his hand into a fist and swung the same number of fists as the spear thrusts from Tenku.

Arhat Boxing!

"Is it another bare-handed attack of the Vajra Holy Body?" Tenku muttered and added a little force to his attack.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Crack!

Cracking sounds were heard from their clash. Tenku's spear bent to the extreme and broke because it couldn't withstand the force he used and his opponent's attacks. He quickly kept his distance from Kong Ming after seeing his weapon break.

"I don't think I can use this weapon anymore." Tenku smiled bitterly when she saw the piece of spear shaft in her hand.

"If you want to change to a new weapon, I don't mind. I don't want people to think I bullied you because you were unarmed. After all, the victory I get will be empty if I defeat you when you're not at full strength." Kong Ming smiled and pointed at the weapon rack at the side of the arena.

Jin Zhaohui and the other referees kept quiet when they heard Kong Ming's words which meant they allowed Tenku to change weapons as long as both participants agreed.

"I thank you for your kindness. But I decided to fight you bare-handed, so this match would be fair." Tenku smiled and threw the piece of the spear in his hand out of the arena.

"You have great courage and mind. Even after seeing the power of my attacks, you still want to fight with bare hands. In that case, I will respond to your wishes." Kong Ming smiled broadly after hearing Tenku's words.

He became excited as this was the first time he would have a hand-to-hand match with a participant in a martial arts competition. Kong Ming was confident of winning because unarmed combat was his specialty.

"That's great. Then come to me. Show me all the techniques you have." Tenku said calmly and didn't care what Kong Ming thought.

"Fine, if that's what you want!" Kong Ming clenched his fist and charged toward Tenku. He thought Tenku would dodge his fist and look for an opening to counterattack through his blind spot. But Kong Ming didn't expect his opponent to stand still in his position and take his attack head-on.

"Do you think that you can win against me in hand-to-hand combat? Don't blame me if you get seriously injured from my attack!" Kong Ming glared at Tenku and swung his fist at full power. He wanted to end that match in one strike because he was displeased with Tenku's arrogance.

The corners of Tenku's lips rose slightly when he saw Kong Ming coming at him at top speed. He threw a punch at his opponent, and their fists collided.

Booooooommmmmmmm!
