Chapter 55 - Dirty Move
Davion used his Mind-Eye and found that Arian hadn't used his Qi. "Does he want to test me?"
So, he also didn't use his spiritual energy and battled head-on. Their two swords collided with each other and sparks were produced. During the battle, Arian looked more proactive. He was attacking frequently, while Davion was being forced back into defense.
But Davion was still unscathed. So, after a few minutes, Arian backed away. He looked at Davion and said, "Even though you might be a new disciple, it looks like you have a good cultivation."
"You are qualified to challenge me." After he finished saying this, he gathered his Qi towards the sword and flames started to blaze around it.
Seeing those flames, Davion thought, "He finally mobilized his Qi. I should also do the same. But as a disciple of the Bone and Devil Sect, I should show off my dark energy."
He controlled his dark energy and used one-tenth of it. In the last month, he was not only killing those devils inside the Cultivation Pool, but he was also practicing how to control it.
So, if he used more dark energy than that, then the sword he was carrying would not be able to handle it. As for the blade he bought in the auction hall, he had kept it inside his ring. So that nobody would be able to recognize him.
His sword was covered with dark energy and it looked like black fumes were covering it. They battled once again. The result was the same as before. It still looked like Arian had a clear advantage over Davion. But Davion still managed to be unscathed.
Seeing this, Thaddeus had his eyes wide open, "How could this kid still last this long? Arian is already in the middle stage of Qi refining. Even though he is still at a disadvantage, he has already lasted this long."
"Is this his battle instinct? He has not received a single blow yet. He always finds a perfect way to dodge it or deflect it."
Edgar in the stands was also confused, "Damn, I thought he was a joke for joining the Bone and Devil Sect. Who could have thought that a new disciple would already be this strong? It looks like the Flame and Blossom Sect won't be able to win this easily."
"F**k, everything was happening as I planned. But what is this situation? Is this new disciple going to foil my plan?" Edgar cursed as his eyes were focusing in the arena.
Arial was getting irritated seeing that none of his attacks were working. So, he immediately tried to use his secret art.
"Fire Blossom Art: Flames Excalibur"
He held the sword vertically upward and channeled more than half of his Qi towards it which produced a huge pillar of flames.
But when he was about to swing his sword towards Davion, a black field managed to cover him up. This caused him to loose his vision and his flames got weakened by at least a half. Seeing this he panicked because he had never seen this type of spell.
Outside the arena, Thaddeus was about to enter the arena and save Davion before the pillar of flames could strike him. But this black field made him baffled, "Damn, he has already managed to learn the Dark Domain? It is one of the most difficult spells to use. Not only that, it consumes a large amount of Qi. But the question is, can he finish him now?"
He had some doubts but he was feeling very happy inside. Because he could see some hope in saving the sect.
In a panic, Arian swung his sword towards the direction where Davion was previously seen. The pillar of flames rushed in that direction, but it missed.
Seeing this, he had sweat on his forehead. So, he wanted to run out of the black field. When he was about to run, he heard some sounds coming from a certain direction. Before he could react, he got hit by those.
When he looked at it, he found that they were darts. These darts had already pierced his skin. He took them out by force and saw liquid dripping down from its tip.
"Don't tell me, it's poisoned?"
Before he could do something about it, he started to feel dizzy. He started shivering and felt difficult to breathe. He then fell to the ground and lost consciousness.
Seeing that Arian was unable to stand up, Davion took back his Dark Domain. The audience got shocked when they saw the scene. Arian was lying on the ground and Davion was standing with a blowpipe in his hands. They couldn't believe that the weak Bone and Devil Sect would manage to win this round.
"I found a good way to win this round. It is a bit difficult to act low-key."
"But I don't know how strong this poison is.." Davion looked a little worried thinking about this.
