Vile Dominion

Chapter 40: Zhang Hao vs Qin Yuanzhi

14th April, Year 42023 of Elemental Era

Zhang Hao and Qin Yuanzhi entered the arena. The arena is around 100 meters in diameter, enough for the friendly fight between Rank 5s.

Ji Changchen secretly informed Chu Xin about Zhang Hao's real identity. Hearing this, even Chu Xin's eyes showed a very strong killing intent. But, this time it was not hidden. He looked at Zhang Hao continuously. 

Su Zun smiled. "If I were you, I would restrain myself. Remember your identity."

Chu Xin didn't back down. "I request Sect Leader to hand over this Zhang Hao to us. This is order of our Holy Lord."

Su Zun narrowed his eyes. 'Hong Tian wants to kill a mere Rank 4 nobody? No, this will only happen if he harmed his interests. A rank 4 is not capable of such thing unless...'

He looked at Ji Changchen and laughed. "It seems even the so called invincible Holy Son of Celestial Sect faced a terrible defeat."

Ji Changchen didn't care about his accusation. He said. "Don't speak anything without any proof Sect Leader."

Su Zun smiled. "It's not your turn to decide what I said is right or wrong."

Ji Changchen narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything. Gu Xing looked at Sect leader and asked.

"What do you mean master?"

Su Zun replied calmly. "This Zhang Hao most likely has defeated Ji Changchen, and not just defeated. He had thoroughly crushed him. But, I think it must be because Ji Changchen had lower cultivation at that time. With his talent, he can't defeat Changchen."

Gu Xing was surprised but understood. With higher cultivation, any one can be victorious.

Meanwhile the battle between Qin Yuanzhi and Zhang Hao is about to begin. Both are entering the stage. 

Zhang Hao, surprisingly, was standing right at the edge of the arena, shivering like how a sheep shivers at the sight of it's predator. If he takes a single step back, he would loose.

Everyone was surprised at this. But Su Zun narrowed his eyes. "This guy is quite deep. He knows he can't win, so he is taking gamble. No, this is not gamble, his shivering seems really genuine. Even I can't distinguish fake from truth. But, my intuition tells me he is acting. No, if this goes on, Yuanzhi might lose."

He immediately transmitted his voice to Qin Yuanzhi. "This guy is acting. Don't act recklessly, he might be up to something. Remember you must win."

Qin Yuanzhi understood. He looked at Zhang Hao and said. "Don't play dirty. I know you are acting."

Zhang Hao was surprised and thought. 'Why is everyone able to see through me now? Is this the gap between Southern Continent and Central Continent?'

He no longer acted and immediately knelt down and cried. "Brother how about you give me this victory. You know, I have a family, two little kids, waiting for my selection. My life has always been tough. Can you let me through. As long as I win the reward, I would be able to help them. Please!"

Everyone looked at Zhang Hao and cursed.

"If you want to battle then battle, what are you crying here for? Do you even deserve to be a Warrior?"

"Win the reward? Do you think with your Rank 4 early stage, you can beat Holy Son Ji?"

Zhang Hao didn't care about them and still looked at Qin Yuanzhi with his pitiful eyes.

Qin Yuanzhi looked at Zhang Hao and said in a straightforward manner. "Your tactics won't work on me."

He immediately used his full power and attacked Zhang Hao. His speed surpassed Zhang Hao's and so does his strength.
