Chapter 554: Lightning Falcon 2

"Is he so fast?" Shen Xu asked and the clerk nodded.

"He may be a peak-stage heaven immortal but his speed is equivalent to a great immortal. It’s difficult for an ordinary heaven immortal to defeat him." The man said.

"Is that so?!" Shen Xu said and chuckled.

’My Ayuan is the most extraordinary person in the universe.’ He thought but didn’t say it out loud.

"I will stick to my choice; one hundred million on Law’s win." Shen Xu said but suddenly thought of something.

"What are the odds?" He asked.

"Twenty five to one." The clerk said and Shen Xu smiled.

"Is everyone so pessimistic about Law?" He asked and the clerk nodded.

"I have seen many matches where the Lightning Falcon’s opponents didn’t even land an attack before they were defeated." The clerk said and shrugged.

"I will still bet on Law." Shen Xu said and deposited the one hundred million immortal stones.

"What about you?" The clerk asked, looking Zhen Yuan and Zhou Xuan.

"One hundred million on Law." Zhen Yuan said and also deposited the amount.

"Ten million on Law." Zhou Xuan said, shocking the other two.

However, they didn’t say anything and simply completed the formalities before leaving the room.

[Ayuan, why did you stop me from wagering more?] Shen Xu complained.

If it were up to him, he would have wagered all their net worth on Zhen Yuan.

However, Zhen Yuan restricted the wager to one hundred million immortal stones.

[What if I suddenly gain enlightenment and have to forfeit the match?] Zhen Yuan asked and Shen Xu raised an eyebrow.

[Do you expect a sudden enlightenment?] He asked and Zhen Yuan shook his head before speaking.

[I don’t, but life is unpredictable. We must always prepare for the unexpected.] He said and Shen Xu understood.

More than preparing for a loss, Zhen Yuan was concerned about the colloseum.

If he and Shen Xu wagered seven hundred million and won more than seventeen billion, many people, including the city lord’s residence and the colloseum elders would definitely be tempted especially because Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan planned to bet on each of their games.

This kind of situation would normally not be a problem because Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had a space and could escape at any time.

However, they were currently on an escort mission and couldn’t act as usual.

’This mission is standing in the way of my wealth.’ Shen Xu thought and secretly glared at Zhou Xuan.

[Our two hundred million will turn into five billion. Let’s go to the Myriad Treasures Pavillion after getting it. I want to see if there are any suitable cultivation treasures.] He said, recalling that he still needed many resources to advance his cultivation from the peak-stage of the heaven immortal realm to the peak-stage of the great immortal realm.

[It’s indeed time to start preparing your cultivation resources.] Zhen Yuan said.

A quarter of an hour soon passed, and Zhen Yuan went to the solo stage.

After announcing the rules, the referee flew out of the stage while Zhen Yuan and the Lightning Falcon retreated to opposite sides.

"Watch out." The Lightning Falcon said and before Zhen Yuan could react, a purple light appeared before him.

Immediately after, Zhen Yuan saw a dagger covered with lightning inching towards him.

However, the man was not a vegetarian!

In the blink of an eye, he swung his brush a three metre tall and two metre rune silver rune appeared before him.

A breath later, the Lightning Falcon’s dagger hit the rune and Its blade deformed from the impact.

"This..." The Lightning Falcon muttered with an incredulous expression.

At the same time, he threw out the dagger and another appeared in his hand.

However, in the breath that the Lightning Falcon took to change the dagger, Zhen Yuan ran aside, widening the distance between them.

’He sis faster than I expected.’ Zhen Yuan thought.

Although he had suppressed his cultivation to the peak-stage of the heaven immortal realm, his true cultivation was the peak-stage of the great immortal realm and his body cultivation was already the early stage of level fourteen.

However, even with such conditions, he almost couldn’t react to the Lightning Falcon’s attack.

’I need to slow him down.’ Zhen Yuan thought and an idea crossed his mind.

Just then, a familiar purple light streaked across the arena, rushing towards Zhen Yuan.

Seeing it, Zhen Yuan waved his brush and a small golden rune flew towards the purple light.

’Ten times gravity.’ Zhen Yuan thought.

Soon after, the purple light turned into the Lightning Falcon and a quarter of a breath later, the person fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"What did you do?" The Lightning Falcon demanded while trying to stand up.

However, no matter how he tried, the Lightning Falcon like he was carrying a heavy burden that he couldn’t throw away.

Ten breaths later, he started bleeding from his seven orifices and his sight turned red.

Realising that he couldn’t overcome the situation, the Lightning Falcon gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I yield." He said and the arena fell silent.

"It has ended just like that?" A spectator asked with a shocked face.

"What did Law do? Why was the Lightning Falcon so suppressed?" Another wondered.

"I wagered five hundred thousand on the Lightning Falcon. I can’t believe he lost so badly."

"This is the first time that the Lightning Falcon was defeated so badly."

"Who is Law and what kind of method did he use?"

"I didn’t expect senior Zhen to be so powerful." Zhou Xuan muttered with a thoughtful expression.

He had ofcourse watched Zhen Yuan fight in Jieshou city’s colloseum.

However, Zhen Yuan had always used silver runes which Zhou Xuan already found magical.

Unexpectedly, golden runes were even more so and could take down a peak-stage heaven immortal in one move!

’His fighting style is too strange.’ Zhou Xuan thought and secretly glanced at Shen Xu to gauge his reaction.

However, the person just smiled and didn’t seem surprised that Zhen Yuan had used such a powerful attack.

’My sister and I may have underestimated our protectors.’ He thought.
