Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.158 - Tournament II

Fu Chen's sword couldn't make the participants instantly fall down, but things were more severe.many parts of their bodies were bruised and some broken bones.

It was even more painful than the usual scratches given by warriors. Some of them tried to escape, but Fu Chen did not let it go.

"You guys have been so hard at following me here. Why do you want to leave now?" Fu Chen said as he swung his sword.

Fu Chen's heart skipped a beat, it had been a long time since he had been this excited. Fu Chen's slash that accompanied the smile on his face made the other participants shudder in horror.

It was inconceivable in their minds that the child they thought was weak turned out to be extremely terrifying. Despite fighting quite a number of people, there was no sign yet that Fu Chen would be exhausted.

It didn't take long for Fu Chen to defeat them. Some were unconscious while others were forced to give Fu Chen their own pins.

Fu Chen was quite satisfied with the result, on the first day he had managed to collect dozens of pins. With this he should be able to focus on surviving the first day.

Fu Chen immediately left the participants lying there, he was sure that there would be other participants as well as ferocious beasts coming.

From a distance, there was a lookout observing Fu Chen. The scout was stunned by Fu Chen's ability to defeat dozens of warriors alone.

He thought it would be a fight between the dozens of warriors because they were gathered in one place. The scout quickly wrote a letter after Fu Chen walked away.

He tied the letter to an eagle before finally going to look for the other participants.

Fu Chen was looking for a place to hide, in fact Fu Chen had realized that he was being watched by someone. But he deliberately ignored it because he did not seem to want to interfere.

Fu Chen did not have to worry about food supplies, as he had stored a lot of food in his Earth ring. For a time he would study the structure of the forest, preventing it should some participants set traps.

At nightfall, Fu Chen finished his activities through the forest. In his journey Fu Chen also had time to fight several warriors so that his pin had reached the number 20.

Fu Chen rested on one of the branches of the tree, he did not want to make some kind of bonfire as it would attract the attention of the enemy as well as beasts.

Fu Chen was going to recover his stamina tonight, he was planning on hunting pins when the sun would appear. He was sure that there would be a lot of participants moving at that time.

"Liu Zhiyong's! You think you can run away from me?" A middle-aged man darted between the trees.

His face was flushed red, it seemed like that someone named Liu Zhiyong had enraged him. Both of them sped up fast enough to surprise the other participants.

"Fuck up! Where do you want to run?" The man snorted.

Liu Zhiyong only smiled faintly in response, even though the man chasing him was in the realm of a Combat General. Liu Zhiyong had actually been in conflict with the man ever since in the City.

The two were at odds because the man managed to get the item that Liu Zhiyong was after at an auction. Liu Zhiyong continued to follow him until he ended up being a participant in the tournament.

Liu Zhiyong was not uninterested in tracing, it was just that he had been in the group that was certain to qualify in this tournament.

The thing Liu Zhiyong took was a small box made of wood. Liu Zhiyong was after him because of a pill stored inside. The pill would greatly help his cultivation that had stalled.

Liu Zhiyong did not really care about the swearing of the man chasing behind. With his current strength, it was easy to get away from the man.

After quite a long time running the man who was chasing Liu Zhiyong was starting to get exhausted. The distance between them was getting further and further away, with the condition of the covered forest finally the man lost track of Liu Zhiyong.

"I'll kill him when this is all over!" The man's jaw became tense, he snorted for a moment before leaving.

Liu Zhiyong slowed down his pace when he no longer sensed the existence of the man chasing after him.

"Foolish bastard... You think you can match my speed?" Liu Zhiyong smiled faintly.

He immediately circulated his gaze when he sniffed the delicious aroma of a meat, more precisely a roast.

Liu Zhiyong traced the surroundings looking for the source of the scent. In finding him after a while, he sharpened his eyes to observe someone sitting on a tree branch, certainly with grilled meat in his hands.

Liu Zhiyong felt astonished because he could not feel the presence of that person there.

"What are you doing?" Fu Chen was troubled because someone had been staring at him sharply since earlier.

"That should be my question" Liu Zhiyong said. He had not expected any participant of Fu Chen's age to register for the tournament.

"As you can see I'm eating." Fu Chen replied briefly.

"What's that attitude?" murmured Liu Zhiyong.

Liu Zhiyong then drew his sword and intended to approach Fu Chen. Liu Zhiyong was indeed not interested in his tournament, but it was different when someone dared to eat something delicious in front of him.

"What are you trying to do? Do you intend to attack someone who is eating?" fu Chen asked indifferently.

"Haha.." Liu Zhiyong laughed out loud. "Looks like you don't understand your situation, boy! Hand over all your food and I'll let you live!" Liu Zhiyong smiled widely.

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, he thought this man would ask for a pin or something. Food is also important nowadays.

"Is that all you want?" Fu Chen stood up for a moment before he threw his grilled meat at Liu Zhiyong.

"…" Liu Zhiyong was silent. His mind was blank as he stared at the roast he had caught.

"If that's what you want then I'll go." Fu Chen began to think about eating the bread alone in the future.

"H-hey! I told you to give up everything you got!" Liu Zhiyong immediately replied when Fu Chen was about to leave.

"That's all I got." Fu Chen replied before finally leaving just like that.

Liu Zhiyong snorted for a moment and began to eat the meat that now belonged to him. Although there were bite marks of Fu Chen but such a thing was not something disgusting to the swordsmen.

"Did he give her food that easy?" Liu Zhiyong muttered, he began to think if Fu Chen stored his food somewhere.

Liu Zhiyong then intended to follow Fu Chen, but before he could step foot some people appeared from behind the bushes.

"It looks like you've got a decent enough meal, can't you share it with me?" ask one of the warriors with a big smile.

Liu Zhiyong narrowed his eyes before taking a deep breath. "Damn it!" said it.
