Chapter 22
Inside the Morning Wood Pagoda, where most of the sect administration was handled, Su Yang and a group of Outer Court disciples stood in front of an old man, known as Elder Zhou, one of the many elders in the Outer Court who dealt with disputes among the disciples.
"… Let me set this straight .. You, the student of the Outer Court of Su Yang, want to have a death match with the outer Court disciple Dai Zheng? The last time I checked, you were only a Basic Realm at the third level, and you agreed to fight against someone at the fifth level of the Elementary Realm? Are you stupid or are you crazy? " Older Zhou looked at Su Yang with a strange expression.
In this world, unless one was a cultivating genius or happened to possess a powerful weapon, they would never be able to defeat another with a higher cultivation base, let alone two whole levels! And in Elder Zhou's eyes, Su Yang was only a mere Outer Court disciple with some talent in his hand techniques, definitely not a cultivation genius.
"You're not a genius or should you have a weapon strong enough to suppress someone two levels above you, yet you still dare to fight him? Are you looking to die?"
"Older Zhou! This is his choice, not mine! I didn't force him to fight me; it was something he received with a smile on his face!" Dai Zheng, the one who had the highest bid and the one who would fight against Su Yang first, was worried that Su Yang would probably be a coward away from fighting with him at this level.
Su Yang remained calm despite Elder Zhou's harsh words, and he said with a smile: "Older Zhou is right, I am not a cultivation genius nor do I have a powerful weapon. However, as a man, are you going to back out of a fight with your pride on the line just because you are facing someone stronger than yourself? "
His words caused Elder Zhou to raise his eyebrows, and to everyone's surprise, he replied: "No, I don't want to."
"really? Then let me fight it."
Elder Zhou paused to ponder for a moment, and he said a few seconds later: "This is a death match with your life at risk, not a fight where you can go with only a minor injury. Once you step onto that stage, none of you are allowed to leave until only one is left in this world. "
Without needing to think, Su Yang nodded. "While we're there, we might as well schedule everyone here a death match with me," he said indifferently, leaving everyone there dumbfounded.
"What did you just say? You want a deathmatch with everyone here?" Elder Zhou looked at the dozen Outer Court disciples with puzzled expressions.
"That's why they're following, right?" Su Yang looked at the confused crowd with a smile.
"Su Yang! How arrogant do you think that you will get a chance to fight with others even before our death match begins! Are you saying that you are truly confident with your victory ?!" Dai Zheng burst into rage upon hearing Su Yang's words, feeling as if his face was being stepped on by Su Yang mercilessly.
Su Yang glanced at his protruding red face with veins and said with a surprised expression: "Why else should I fight with you? To die? Are you stupid?"
"YANNNNG!"
Just as the second Dai Zheng was far from attacking Su Yang in anger, Elder Zhou coughed once, instantly forcing Dai Zheng to stop his steps.
"Where do you think you are, disciple Dai Zheng?" Elder Zhou's narrowed gaze caused Dai Zheng to freeze, seemingly petrified by his dangerous gaze.
"These disciples apologized to Elder Zhou for exceeding his boundaries," Dai Zheng quickly apologized with a deep bow.
"These disciples apologized to Elder Zhou for exceeding his boundaries," Dai Zheng quickly apologized with a deep bow.
Elder Zhou sighed and said, "Since you two want to fight so badly, I will accept your wishes and personally watch over this death."
Dai Zheng showed a beaming smile and bowed again: "Thank you, Elder Zhou, for giving this disciple the opportunity to pay his debt!"
Su Yang snorted coldly how Dai Zheng truly believed that he would lose to him. He originally did not plan to stain his hands with blood immediately after his reincarnation, especially when he still had not obtained the Pure Yang Flower. However, Su Yang knew very well that if he ignored the people today that they would definitely come bothering him again in the future, he said, then why did he decide to clean up the trash early so that he would not have to worry about it later.
"When do you want this deadly fight to happen?" Elder Zhou asked.
"Quickly!" Dai Zheng said as he looked at Su Yang with a threatening look.
"This disciple will greatly appreciate it!"
"Murid Su Yang?" Elder Zhou looked at him for confirmation.
Su Yang nodded and said, "I have no problem doing it now."
Su Yang nodded and said, "I have no problem doing it now."
"Alright, let's head to the stage …"
Elder Zhou started walking first and led the way.

"Hey, look! It's an official death match!"
"What's? Who's fighting?"
The disciples who happened to be around the arena quickly approached the stage when they saw Su Yang and Dai Zheng climb the stairs.
"Older Zhou was watching this death match, so it was completely official!"
"That's Dai Zheng! Who was he fighting .. It was Su Yang ?!"
"Older Zhou was watching this death match, so it was completely official!"
"That's Dai Zheng! Who was he fighting .. It was Su Yang ?!"
"Su Yang had another death match just a week after the last one!"
The disciples were obviously excited to witness this fight, especially after hearing the rumors of Su Yang defeating Yang Ming, who was at the sixth level of the Elementary Realm.
"Are you two ready?" Elder Zhou asked the two on the stage.
"Ready!" Dai Zheng tightly held the sword in his grasp, his breathing pattern changing.
Su Yang toyed around with the steel sword in his hand; it was a borrowed weapon just for this fight. "Before we start, I want to tell you a story ..the love story between a famous general and a rogue cultivator," he said in an indifferent manner, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
The love story between a general and a rogue cultivator? What the hell is going on? Since when did this deathmatch become a place to tell stories?
"What the fuck are you talking about ?! Hurry up and fight me!" Dai Zheng said in an irritated and impatient tone, his teeth itching just to see Su Yang's blood.
However, Su Yang ignored her and continued to speak with a calm expression on his face: "During the Chaotic Era, when war was considered a common sight, there was a peerless beautiful woman, who happens to be a general for some powerful army. Her beauty was said to be devastating enough to destroy the continent and her talent with a peerless sword … "
