Martial Peak: Chaos Dragon Emperor

Yang Feng stood among many people in the stadium where the compilation will be taking place. He looked around and noted that the fighting ground was divided into 8 segments, 'Is it going to be a 1v1 elimination type of match or a battle royal?'

Thankfully, his question was answered by the referee who was standing on a high platform. The referee spoke, "Good day to all my fellow daoists! Today we all are gathered here for the last remaining Section of the 15th Martial Arts Competition of SkyFall City, the Transendant Section!"

"This time, we have a total of 79 Transendants who have joined the tournament and so the competition will have two phases. The format of the first phase will be ..... A battle royal! All the contestants will be divided into 8 groups and will fight in each of the sections of the battleground..."

The referee continued as the crowd erupted at the mention of 'Battle Royal', "...and only the remaining person from each group will be selected to move forward to the next round, which would be the quarter-finals. From there the remaining 8 people will fight a 1v1 battle, the winner will move to the next round, the semi-finals. The same will follow here, 4 remaining contestants will have a 1v1 match and the 2 remaining will fight in the finals to get the reward, which is .... A Saint Artifact!!"

The referee then said offhandedly, "a friendly reminder to all. There are no restrictions on methods used to fight during the match, except for pills. Also, if someone dies during the matches, it would be on the participants and the authorities will not be responsible."

The crowd who heard the speech roared loudly, filled with excitement. Yang Feng who heard this thought, 'so that's how it is going to be huh. But why are there so few contestants?'

Yang Feng knew that Transcendent Realm although not as common as dogs and cats, there still exist quite alot of them. So he wondered why only 79 Transendants took part in the competition.

What he didn't have time to find out was that this competition was usually held for cultivators without a sect or small 2nd Class sects. As the Transcendents who are from big sects have various resources at their disposal, so they don't take part in such competitions.

After the referee had announced the format of the competition, all the contestants were divided into 8 groups and separated into the different sections of the stadium. Yang Feng's group consisted of 10 people. 1 of whom was a 3rd Order Transcendant, 5 were 2nd Order Transcendants including Yang Feng and the other 4 were 1st Order Transcendants.

Yang Feng looked at all 9 of his opponents and didn't recognize any of them from the original, nor did he feel that they were too strong, meaning that he would be able to dispatch of them with little or no difficulty.

After the referee shouted 'Battle Begins!!!', the 8 sections were covered by an array to isolate them from each other and the audience.

In Yang Feng's section

The ten didn't take any action immediately but looked at each other analytically. The 1st Order Transcendants looked to have made a group as they gathered around each other. While the three of the four 2nd Order Transcendants also seemed to be of a group.

The two groups looked around at the remaining 3, who were Yang Feng, the remaining 2nd Order Transcendant and the 3rd Order Transcendant. As if reaching mutual understanding, the two groups suddenly attacked.

The group containing the 1st Orders attacked Yang Feng, while the group of three 2nd Orders separated into two parts, one attacked the remaining 2nd Order with his two companions attacking the 3rd Order Transcendant.

Yang Feng looked impassively at the approaching four 1st Order Transcendants and thought, 'these four .... wouldn't even serve a a warmup.'

He then subtly glanced at the other two sides and saw two 2nd Order Transcendants fighting each other on one side, while two 2nd Order Transcendants fought with the 3rd Order Transcendant.

'well .... Let's just finish this group and attack that 3rd Order Transcendant. He might be able to withstand a few attacks.', all these thoughts flashes through Yang Feng's mind within a second after which he focused on his four opponents speeding towards him.

Yang Feng extended his hand and his new spear suddenly appeared in his hand. Although using it was an overkill right now, his original purpose was to get accustomed to the spear, meaning he wouldn't hold back.

As soon as the spear appeared in Yang Feng's hand, his impassive demeanor immediately changed into a sharp and deadly one.

He then pushed a bit of Qi through the spear, which caused the spear to pulse with dark red flames and exclude a sharp killing aura. He then suddenly swung the spear in a semi-circular way towards the four approaching opponents.

As he swung the spear, a red wave of the same shape as the swing(semi-circular), erupted from the spear and instantly travelled towards the four, who had nearly reached Yang Feng.

At such distance along with their own forward momentum, the four were not able to dodge the attack and activated their own ways to defend themselves. Yang Feng looked at them using their defensive artifacts and techniques and said softly, "it's useless.", although Yang Feng said that softly, his voice echoed a bit.

The next moment, the Qi wave passed the four, seemingly not doing any damage and hit the barrier on their side of the field. The four attacker of Yang Feng were still in perfect shape and moving towards him, which left everyone who was looking at this with a bit confusion, wondering if the Qi wave was just a light show, and excitement, to see how the battle would unfold.

But, the next second their confusion turned into disbelief because the four attackers who were still flashing towards Yang Feng were instantly separated into two half's from their waist down, making them fall down as their life force drained away.

The entire section became deadly quite as the remaining 5 people also stopped fighting and looked at Yang Feng with heavy faces. Outside, the audience were dumbfolded at first before they shouted out loud. No one thought that this would happen.

Yang Feng looked at the four corpses in front of him and thought, 'I only used the power of a High-2nd Order Transcendant but they all died? Am I too powerful now or are they too weak?'

...

Among the audience, Meng Wu Ya looked at this and said, "*tsk* the brat's showing off again.". Xia Ning Chang who was sitting next to Meng Wu Ya shook her head at her master's grumbling and looked at the figure of her lover who turned towards the remaining contestants in his section.

Her focus was attracted to Meng Wu Ya as he asked her something, "the spear that he's using ... It's an extraordinary artifact. Even from here, with the isolation array in place, I can tell that it's at least comparable to a Mid-Grade Saint Artifact. Do you know about it?"

Xia Ning Chang replied, "it's an artifact Junior Brother made a few days ago. As for the specifics, master should ask him.", Meng Wu Ya heard this and nodded, his thoughts unknown.

...

In the battle field. After Yang Feng's display of power by decimating four 1st Order Transcendants in a single strike, the others grew highly cautious of him, even the 3rd Order Transcendant had a heavy face.

Yang Feng looked at them, seeing that all 2nd Order Transcendants seem to be communicating to each other through their eyes, and said, "all five of you should attack at the same time, otherwise you'll all face the same result." 'not that the result would become different after you all attack at the same time.'

When the five heard this, although they were angry and felt humiliated, but they didn't say anything about it because Yang Feng had proven himself capable of doing it. But.

The 3rd Order Transcendant however was too angry. He was someone at the 3rd Order Transcendant and was near the peak of the realm and had killed many 3rd Order Transcendents himself, so he couldn't stand Yang Feng's arrogant comment and said, "imprudent! Do you think that you're a hotshot after killing a few weaklings! Today I'll teach you brat that there is always a bigger fish than you in the water."

Yang Feng looked at the middle aged man, who looked somewhat familiar to him, and showed a bored look at his talk and said, "this is a battle ground. Why are you just barking here? If you think I'm wrong then come and try to beat me."

The man was further enraged at this and without saying anything used his movement technique to flash towards Yang Feng, holding a giant hammer in his hand, while still being careful of Yang Feng's attack.

Yang Feng smiled as he saw this and also sprung into action, he used his spear and intercepted the hammer that was coming towards his face.

*Clanngggggg*

A loud sound of metal colliding rung around as Yang Feng and his opponent's weapons met. The next moment, both stepped back a few steps.

The man looked at his hand that was holding the hammer and although it wasn't injured externally, he felt the strikes impact inside his hand. He felt as if a few muscles of his hand and arm were torn apart by the repulsive force he faced after the two weapons collided.

His gaze, which held an even greater amount of caution than before, again shifted to Yang Feng. Yang Feng on the other hand looked back at the man with slight surprise. In the last strike, Yang Feng had used the full strength comparable to a Low 3rd Order Transcendant but the man in front of him easily took that attack without getting injured.

"Interesting, looks like you're stronger than I had thought.", Yang Feng's face then shifted from surprise to excitement as he continued, "Let's see how much you can take, shell we?"

At this moment, the man suddenly felt that if didn't use all of his strength to fight this young man ... He might die. The next instant, the man felt his danger senses go into overdrive as Yang Feng suddenly disappeared from in front of him.

The man twisted his body swiftly and used his hammer to block a spear that was aimed at his head. The man looked on in shock as Yang Feng had instantly appeared behind him, 'how did he do it? He was in front of me just a second earlier.'

Then, the man and Yang Feng started to exchange blow after blow. Each strike heavier and destructive than the last as even the area around them, which could handle a normal 3rd Order Transcendants attack, started to get damaged.

The four 2nd Order Transcendants looked at this scene with ugly expressions. They had never thought that they would face such monsters in the first round. The four then glanced at each other and communicated with each other through their divine sense.

On the other side, Yang Feng and the middle aged man continued to battle out. Each strike had greater power than the last and at this point the power had exceeded that of a normal 3rd Order Transcendent. Only those whose Qi's saintification had started could reach this level of power.

This fact and the strength of their opponents had shock Yang Feng and the middle-aged man. The two didn't think that they would encounter opponents at their level. Slowly the two started to enjoy the battle and got imbursed in it.

Yang Feng started to use his spear skills to the maximum, while the man also started to use his own hammer techniques to the fullest. After a few minutes of fighting, just when they had clashed, the two felt an attack of great power aimed at the two of them.

Slightly turning, the two came face to face to a giant beam of Qi, which contained a great amount of power, even Yang Feng felt that he might get a bit injured if he didn't take the attack seriously, and because of how close it was to them, the two were not able to dodge the attack and had to use their defensive methods.

Yang Feng controlled all his body strength and took out a High-Transcendant Grade shield Artifact to block the attack. While an armor appeared on the man's body. After the attack connected with the two, it resulted into a blast which pushed the two to nearly collide with the barrier.

Just then Yang Feng heard the middle aged man's shout, "who dares to sneak attack this king, the Hammer King, Tang Hao!!"

Yang Feng who heard this, only had one instant reaction, "Nani?!!?!!!?"
