Walker Of The Worlds

Bu Lang was about to follow up with a kick to Cai Wen's legs when he suddenly became a bit dazed. Cai Wen who had been bracing for the impact became shocked at the man's sudden change. His eyes lit up as he realized that this was a good opportunity for him.

A grey hue covered Cai Wen's arms as he raised both of them high up to the sky and brought them down together with his hands clasped into a fist. The attack landed on the top of Bu Lang's head and he was knocked down.

The impact was strong enough to shake his brain and render him unconscious for the rest of the match.

"STOP!" The referee ordered.

"The winner is Cai Wen!" He announced.

"Whoa! That was unexpected." Someone from the crowd said.

"What happened to Bu Lang suddenly? Why did he stop moving?" Another person questioned.

It seemed like the audience was more interested in why Bu Lang had acted like that rather than Cai Wen winning. Even Cai Wen, the man himself was a bit surprised that he had won. He furrowed his brows for a bit before simply shrugging.

The healers quickly went to check up on hate unconscious Bu Lang before a troubled expression appeared on their faces.

"Bu Lang's… Bu Lang's not breathing!" One of the healers said.

Another one checked his pulse and said, "he has no pulse either!" 

The people who had accompanied Bu Lang were now agitated.

"Quick, do something! You cannot let him die!" they shouted.

The healers quickly took out healing pills and fed them to Bu Lang. They checked him for injuries and discovered that except for small cuts and bruises, the only Injury Bu Lang had suffered was the blow to his head.

They checked his head as well, but didn't find any fractures on it and neither was it bleeding. 

"Wu Hei, you need to check it." Zhen Sui said, seeing that the situation had turned dire.

She couldn't let a guest die here, not to mention that the Bu Clan was not a clan they wanted enmity with. Their power was quite strong in the capital and would have control over a lot of businesses. Besides, the Wu family was already in quite a bit of trouble with Wu Xun being interrogated by the King.

The audience was also anxious and didn't expect something like this to happen. But the most scared was actually Cai Wen.

'I'm doomed if Bu Lang dies by my hands…' He thought to himself as his hands trembled.

About five minutes passed before the healers were finally able to get Bu Lang's heart working again. 

"Bu Lang is breathing!" The healers spoke.

"Take him to recover and call some Senior healers to do a more detailed check." Wu Hei ordered from the seats.

"As you command Lord Hei!" the healers said before swiftly carrying Bu Lang away on a stretcher.

Cai Wen could only go and sit on the seat and wait to see the result. Even if he had won the fight, he was not feeling excited. Even winning the entire tournament would not be worth it if Bu Lang died. 

"We shall continue now!" The referee announced.

The people calmed down a bit after hearing his words and waited for the next draws. There were three people left in the pool and two of them were something that the audience wanted to see fight. These were none other than Enlai Lan and Lin Mu.

Enlai Lan was simply the popular choice, while Lin Mu had defeated his opponent in a rather overwhelming manner.

"The next match will be… Enlai Lan versus… Zuo Hen!" The referee announced.

The crowd was a bit disappointed as they wanted to see Lin Mu as well. But it seemed like his luck was good, and he had easily reached the fourth round. Lin Mu was didn't really feel anything about this as he already knew that he would have to fight one of the two core condensation realm cultivators, eventually.

He just looked towards the ring and saw the two contestants descend. But as soon as they got on the stage, Zuo Hen spoke up.

"I forfeit!" Zuo Hen said.

"Oh? Are you sure, Lord Zuo Hen?" Enlai Lan asked.

"Yes… I know my limits and better than to challenge them for now." Zuo Hen stated.

"Alight." Enlai Lan said as he nodded his head.

"The winner is Enlai Lan!" The referee announced.

"Lord Enlai Lan is the best!" one of the women from the audience shouted along with the other fans of Enlai Lan.

Zhen Sui and the rest of the people in the top seats watched with indifference as they had already expected this result. Wu Teng looked extremely bored from his expression and was busy playing with the snacks instead. 

Lin Mu took a look over to Yi Zi Jin and found her to be sitting there with her eyes closed.

'For a bride to be her behaviors are rather strange…' Lin Mu thought.

Now the third round had been completed, and only the fourth round and the final round were left. It had been about five hours since the tournament had started and it was now afternoon.

"We will be taking a break now and let the contestants rest. The next round will begin in one hour!" The referee declared.

The people stood up from the seats and walked down. A small banquet area had already been set up for the guests to enjoy near the battle ring, and all of them moved there. 

"We may as well enjoy some food till the next round begins." Wu Hei said to Lin Mu.

Zhen Sui and the people from the Tri cauldron peony sect did the same and went to the banquet area. There tables had been set up for the guests, and the servants were already serving food and drinks to the guests.

Lin Mu accompanied Wu Hei to a table and was joined by Wu Teng. They were waiting for the food when Lin Mu suddenly felt something.

"This… from the caves…"
