Chapter 159: Snake Vs Song Junwan
The coliseum stood high and mighty in the Senter Valley, surrounded by horrifying Spritual Creatures who could ravage the whole Empire.
Illumination from giant lights lit up the seats and centre ground of the coliseum, showing the majesty of it. Every seat was made from the finest mineral and the air was filled with abundance of Qi.
On one end of it, special boxes were made and at the top of these boxes, a small platform gave a mighty aura. Upon this platform, there was only a single seat.
A throne made of crimson red swords.
The Elders of Assassin Organisation and even Shen Yu's wives were in awe of such a majestic structure. They looked at everything, forgetting to even breathe.
Shen Yu smiled seeing their reaction. He was very proud of this creation of his and seeing their dumbfounded looks gave him a sense of relief.
"We shall leave the stage for the two fighters."
Shen Yu was going to jump but then remembered something.
"Oh yeah, you can go all out. I've specially made this coliseum so even if a thousand Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators fought here, they wouldn't be able to even put a scratch."
Waving his hand, he vanished from his spot and appeared at the top of the platform. He then comfortable sat on the throne and looked at the centre stage with a smile on his face.
Lan Ming and others quickly came out of the daze when they heard Shen Yu's words and also followed him to the top of platform. After reaching there, they silently stood beside him.
The Elders also had their clarity returned but that only made their face dark. They couldn't shake of the feeling of awe and fear when they looked at Shen Yu.
Creating such a majestic Coliseum out of nothing was just ridiculous. They had never heard of someone possessing power to do this.
They all looked at Snake and sighed. His fate was already sealed the moment he sent assassins after Ying Yue.
Vanish gave a last glance at him before jumping towards the boxes made below the platform. Others followed her suit, realising what she was doing.
By going on the boxes, which were located below Shen Yu's sitting spot, they showed their feelings of being under him.
Snake glanced at his former companions with a complicated look and couldn't bring himself to say anything. He could understand them as he would have done the same if he was in their shoes. But feeling of abandonment still left a sour taste in his mouth.
He already knew he was dead so the only thing he could do was try to defeat his opponent. Maybe, just maybe, he would survive.
He looked at Song Junwan and narrowed his eyes. He could sense the deep but dangerous aura around her, and that told him his opponent was formidable.
'I have fucked up a great this time.'
But he couldn't just give up like that. He was the Head Elder of the Assassin Organisation and he had ruled over the underground of Qing Empire for years.
He naturally had arrogance for that and even though he knew he wouldn't be able to defeat Shen Yu, Song Junwan was a different picture.
He summoned his Black Rock Sword, a longsword pitch black in colour with a razor sharp blade. He jumped and landed on the stage, still looking at Song Junwan.
Song Junwan smiled when she sensed the fighting spirit of her opponent. She was afraid he would cower under Shen Yu's display of power but it seemed she had underestimated the man who ruled the underground of Qing Empire for years.
'Very well then. I'll give you a quick death, even though you don't deserve it after what you did yo Sister Yue.'
Song Junwan also jumped and landed on the stage. Her three blades circling behind her, making a halo.
The two fighters assessed each other and just for walked around. They were also trying to find an opening in another's defences but how could it be that easy?
Snake's eyes then widened as foot stumbled lightly. It created a opening in his defences but nobody took advantage of it.
Snake looked at Song Junwan who was still walking around and sighed.
"You're good."
He had feigned that opening, hoping she would fall in his traps but she was smart enough to notice it and hold herself back.
After some time, they both realised that they would never find an opening with how well built their defences were so they took the initiative to attack.
The pitch black sword of Snake whipped in the air as it shot towards Song Junwan, as he himself used a bizzare movement skill to get close to her.
Song Junwan stopped in her place as she raised her hand and flicked her fingers, sending the three blades at the incoming sword.
The sword and blade met, sending metallic sparks flying around and the air to become suffocating due to their pressure.
Song Junwan frowned when she sensed her blade getting overpowered so she sent one more to help the second while using the third one to strike at Snake.
However, he was also slippery as a snake with his movement technique and if it wasn't for her quick reaction speed, she would have already suffered many wounds.
Even with her high Cultivation base, she could see nothing but blurs all around her. However, she had also trained with Ying Yue so sneaking upon her was very tough.
Getting annoyed by the constant blows coming out of nowhere, she stretched both of her hands and clenched them into a fist.
The three blades suddenly erupted with sparks of purple lightening, instantly overpowering the pitch black sword and pushing it back.
Sensing the impending doom, Snake had no choice but to withdraw. While doing so, he also took back his sword and retreated some distance.
'This is going to be hard. But it's good as well. Her element is lightening.'
A smile appeared on his face as crouched down and put his hands on the tiles of the stage and circulated his Qi.
Just then a thick lightening bolt came hurling at him, it's pressure even turning the air heavy.
Snake didn't move from his place and simply smiled as a thick pillar made of rock erupted from the stage and blocked the lightening bolt. But it was also destroyed under the impact of it.
Snake clicked his tongue and looked at Song Junwan who was hovering in the air light a goddess. The purple lightening crackling around her just increased the majesty of the sight.
"You are strong."
Snake smirked. He had fought many people over the years to reach the top and now that he was one of the strongest in the Qing Empire, there were only a few who could stand against him.
That definitely included Song Junwan.
Song Junwan didn't bother to give reply and simply sent her blade at him. They were coated with dense lightening and if struck by them, even Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator would suffer.
Snake shook his head and tapped the ground below him. It began to tremble and slowly morphed into a giant humanoid creature.
It stood at easily twenty metres in height and the rocky, jagged skin gave it a terrifying image.
Snake, standing at the top of Golem's head frowned before shaking his head.
'It didn't work. I should have expected.'
Knowing that the ground was made from special mineral capable of withstanding attacks of even Nascent Soul Realm, he has planned to use them for his defence. After all, his element was Earth.
However, it turned out to be a useless idea as it wasn't that the mineral itself was strong but a strange rune formation gave them the indestructible quality.
Now that he had used his powers to make a golden out of them, the Rune Formation also dissipated, turning the golem into a simply Earth Golem.
But even this was a mighty creature so Snake wasn't that worried. He simply controllee the Golem to block of the lightening strikes from Song Junwan, while thinking of any plans.
Each and every strike that landed on the Golem destroyed a chunk of it but since it was standing on ground, it slowly regenerated everything.
Song Junwan clicked her tongue in annoyance as the Golem blocked her attack again and again. She tried to attack with her strongest Lightening strikes but even those didn't damage it completely.
Seeing that there was no way to bypass it's defences, an idea sprouted in her mind as a grin appeared on her face. She put of her hands forward and sent a devasting beam of lightening at the Golem.
The Golem tried to block it with its hand but the beam was too powerful and went pass through it making a hole in its hand. The Golem didn't get the chance to dodged as the lightening beam connected with its torso, sending it tumbling backwards.
However, even such a attack couldn't destroy it.
