Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Chapter 10 - The Ascension Battle (II)



When Fang Lan, who was seated on his seat high above, heard these words, he let out a smirk of contempt. To think that he would be the first to be challenged. Did they think that he was an easy prey just because he was the weakest of the ten disciples?

Even though he was the weakest of the ten, he was still a core disciple that has survived at least five ascension battles. Aside from that, Fang Lan was a little gloomy as well.

It was his sixth appearance in the battle ascension. Ever since he made it to the core sect, he was never able to make it to the top and get rid of his rank.

There are only five hundred core disciples throughout the whole sect, and each of them was devilishly monstrous. The number of core disciples was always the same, some of the members could be replaced but not increased.

While Fang Lan was looking at the inner sect disciple that challenged him with a look of disdain with his cold eyes, the crowd was bustling with excitement.

" Holy shit! I can't believe Lin Mu has the gut to challenge the cockroach of the core sect. That bastard has appeared in the battle ascension for five years straight and no one was able to defeat him."

" Indeed, Fang Lan is really a tough nut to crack."

" Who knows? Perhaps today might the end of the legend of that cockroach?"

"Senior Brother Fang Lan's defense isn't something a newly promoted Late Martial Lord realm could break."

"Hehe! Out of the ten of them, Fang Lan isn't the most powerful one but the hardest one to deal with."

….....

" Lin Mu! To think that you would have the guts to challenge me while not even being in the top five of the inner sect disciples ranking." Said Fang Lan as he jumped out his chair and landed on the fighting arena. He looked down upon Lin Mu with his face full of contempt.

Lin Mu hasn't even broken through the peak of the martial lord, yet he dared to Challenge him, a full-fledged peak martial lord, only a hair away from opening his middle-dantian and break the Martial King realm.

Lin Mu rolled his eyes and said with a smirk on his face, " Fang Lan don't act high and mighty in front this fatty, you're nothing but the cockroach of the core disciples. Aren't you ashamed of yourself, it's your sixth year participating in the ascension battle."

Tyrannical!

The moment Lin Mu spoke those words, all the surrounding disciples were totally frozen in absolute shock. The many inner sect and core sect elders who were sitting the stands were equally astounded as well!

This fatty was really tired of living. Even though they called Fang Lan cockroach, but that was behind his back. None of the inner disciples was crazy enough to call him that in his face. After all, the man was still a core disciple. His power in privilege was a tier higher than them, and he was also way stronger than them.

Not to mention Fang Lan hated that name. Last year he killed five inner disciples in the life and death arena just because he heard they were calling him cockroach behind his back. Fang Lan was very sensitive about this name and it was like his reverse dragon scale.

" Lin Muuuuuuu!!!!!!!!." Yelled out Fang Lan in rage.

Fang Lan was truly furious when he heard what Lin Mu called him. He knew people were calling that behind his back, however, none of them had the gut to call him that In his face, not to mention in public.

At this moment he was like a cat that had his tail stepped on. His face was red like an over-ripe tomato, and the anger boiled deep in his system, as hot as lava. It churned within as he was trembling with rage and wished for nothing but to eat Lin Mu's flesh and drink his blood.

At this moment, he was beyond furious. He was a core disciple at the peak martial lord realm, yet a puny inner sect disciple at the late stage of martial lord dared to call him a cockroach in public. To him, this was really humiliating.

In order to get rid of this humiliation, the best method was to tear Lin Mu into a million pieces and grind his bones to dust!!!

"Die for me!" Madly uttered Fang Lan as he rushed towards Lin Mu with extreme speed while unleashing the aura of a peak martial lord.

He was totally enraged as he struck out instantly with all his might.

Aside from his cunning smile, Lin Mu's face was filled with a resolute expression. It was as though he had prepared this plan long before the duel.

Lin Mu's strength was a lot weaker than Fang Lan. If there are no accidents, Lin Mu would definitely lose for sure.

Fang Lan struck out with a palm towards Lin Mu's chest furiously. From this strike alone, one could see that Fang Lan was going for the kill as he aimed directly at Lin Mu's heart.

However, Lin Mu didn't even bother to dodge as he stood there and struck out on Fang Lan's body heavily as well, in the same area.

It was just pure brute force against brute force!

Seeing how Lin Mu didn't even bother to dodge Fang Lan's palm strike and attacked with brute force instead, everyone's expressions changed. Just how insane was this guy? Didn't he know that Fang Lan has practiced the Supreme Undying body battle technique?

...

According to legend, cultivating this technique to the ultimate level would make a person immortal and also have an undying body.

This technique only has two parts. The external part and the internal part. Furthermore, each part was divided into multiple stages. For example, the external stage was broken down into the skin, muscle, tendons, etc. Additionally, the skin stage had many layers as well. In contrast, the internal stage was focused on the internal organs, blood, and bones, etc.

The Supreme undying body battle technique was one of the hardest battle techniques throughout the whole sect. So far, none of the disciples had managed to cultivate this battle technique to the internal stage, let alone to the ultimate level.

The method to cultivate this technique was so inhuman and the pain was excruciating to the point where it was not something a regular human being could bear. Most people that cultivate this battle technique gave up before even break through the second layer of the skin stage.

However, Fang Lan was the only disciple that kept on cultivating this battle technique and even made it to the golden skin stage which was a layer before the last layer of the skin stage, the diamond skin stage. Fang Lan was known to have the strongest defense throughout the sect due to this battle technique.

However, this battle technique has a major drawback, once cultivated to the third layer of the skin stage, it's almost impossible to change it. At the 3rd layer of the skin stage, the supreme undying body battle technique would change the user's body in a way where every time one absorbs the True Qi of heaven and earth, the True Qi won't go to your dantian but used to refine your body and skin. Unless one breaks through the diamond stage which was the last layer of the skin stage, this abnormally won't stop.

It was also the main reason that Fang Lan hasn't been able to open his middle-dantian and break though the Martial King like the other core disciples yet. However, once he breaks through the diamond skin and opened his middle-dantian, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings.

He would be so strong to the point where he would be able to make it to the top hundred. Even though this battle technique would slow down one's progress in the short term, however, the long term gain would exponentially far exceed the lost.

.....

Bam!

As Fang Lan's blow landed on Lin Mu's chest, he was sent flying to one side like a broken kite that was cut off from his string while spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Fang Lan didn't expect that Lin Mu was a suicidal bastard who had a death wish. Not only he dared to call him cockroach, he even dared to come at him head-on without even bothered to dodge his palm strike.

With his golden skin, receiving a palm strike from Lin Mu was not much of an issue. He wasn't known as the ultimate defense for anything.

And just as Fang Lan was about to leave as no one was able to take his strongest attack and survived, he realized that Lin Mu has stood up as though he was completely fine.

When the crowd caught sight of this scene, they were completely petrified.

What the fuck!

They couldn't believe that Lin Mu was able to get up after taking Fang Lan's most powerful blow. Hell!, they were even more surprised to realize that he had survived.

And to the disciples' astonishment, that bastard had a satisfied look on his face as though he wasn't the one being blasted away earlier by that powerful palm strike. And soon, Lin Mu burst out laughing.

"HAHAHAHA…!" Lin Mu roared out in laughter so hard that he was almost tearing up.

" You truly deserved the nickname cockroach, your skin is thicker than the hardest metal."

" If it wasn't for that damn armor, I would have been dining with king Yama by now."

Bloody hell!! What's going on?.

Seeing how Lin Mu was laughing out madly like a madman though he has already won the fight, everyone's face was just filled with bewilderment. They didn't understand why Lin Mu was laughing so happily.

From their point of view, Lin Mu was losing the fight and there's a good chance that Fang Lan was going to kill him. No one has ever called Fang Lan cockroach and get away with it.

Even Fang Lan was surprised as well. Was this guy crazy?

While Fang Lan was about to rush out towards Lin Mu in order to land another blow to shut his mouth, his expression suddenly changed as he suddenly kneeled down on the stage.

Puff!!!!

He held onto his chest while suddenly spewing out a huge mouthful of black blood.

Seeing this scene, everyone was totally frozen solid. They still couldn't figure what was going on. Lin Mu was the one that got blasted away, so how could Fang Lan was the one spewing out more blood.

" wh...what .., what did you do to me?" Asked Fang Lan with a dark expression on his face.

He couldn't help spewing out another mouthful blood and looked as though he was about to choke in his own blood.

" Hehehehehe!"

" I thought you'd never ask! Did you really think I was going fight you with brute force alone with this frail body of mine!.

Looking at Lin Mu's serious expression while describing his body as frail, not to mention the disciples, even the elders choked to the point that they didn't know what to say.

That damn fatty weighted almost three hundreds pound, yet he dared to describe his body as frail. If they didn't see that damn fatty with their own eyes, they would have fucking believed it!

" You're really stupid to let anger cloud your judgment and even forget what kind of opponent you were facing."

" I can't believe a grown man like you couldn't take a little teasing."

" Hahahaha." Burst out Lin Mu.

listening to Lin Mu's explanation, not only Fang Lan but the whole crowd suddenly realized something. Lin Mu wasn't a regular Warrior but a poison master.

At the same time, they all looked at Lin Mu's right hand and saw a black ring with tiny spikes in his finger. The black ring was emitting an extremely poisonous aura.

The poisonous aura emitted by the black ring was so noxious that it even scared the elders. From that, they all could infer the level of toxicity contained within that poison was extremely high.

As for the other core disciples, all of the hairs on their bodies stood erect as they were looking at Lin Mu with a fearful expression on their faces.

" You poisoned me!!" Yelled out Fang Lan while spewing out another mouthful of black blood. At this moment, he could feel the poison eating away all of his internal organs, and the pain caused his face to distort.

" Bingo!!"

" As a result of your effort, I'll let you taste my organs devouring poison to its fullest extent before you died," Answered Lin Mu with a playful smile on his face.

"You…." Fang Lan opened his eyes wide, and his face rapidly turned ghastly under the excruciating suffocation.

looking at the fatty on the stage, the inner sect disciples finally remembered how scary that fatty was. Despite not being the strongest of the inner sect, none of the disciples dared to provoke him or you won't even know how you die.

He's always playful and looks a little childish. However, his cruelty and wickedness know no bound.

Ughhhhhhh…"

At that instant, Fang Lan felt as though he was being stabbed by tens of thousands of blades. Immense agony fiercely spread out from every single corner of his body and made him let out a painful whine. His entire body started to shake tremendously. His vision also became blurry, until it completely became a shade of crimson red. His white skin was turning black.

A wave of pain emanated from a force digesting the insides of his body. He felt as though there's a beast within him that was eating his internal organs from the inside.

In the meantime, he was also glaring at Lin Mu with a look of fury. He did not expect that Lin Mu would resort to such a trick.

" Hehehe, aren't you going to beg me for the antidote. If you promised to be my slave, I won't mind giving it to you." Said Lin Mu as he was looking at Fang Lan with a cunning smile on his face with his cruel visage.

Fang Lan knew that Lin Mu would never give him the antidote even if begged for it. As for the elders, none of them could interfere with an ongoing fight. Even if they did, it was already too late for him as he knew his body better than anyone.

Even though the method of victory used by this fella was pretty mean and cruel, it was still allowed by the sect. The Heavenly demon sect always emphasized on survival ability.

It was his own mistake for belittling that little bastard and fall into his trap. At this moment he could only wait for his death. Even if he forfeited the fight, he won't able to detoxify the poison as it already ate most of his internal organs. He could only wait for his painful death.

There was a look of unwillingness in his eyes. He had so many unfinished business and an unfulfilled dreams. He wanted to cultivate the supreme undying battle technique to the ultimate level and become an immortal. However, it seems like this was the end of the road him.

He was thinking about his families that depended on him in this cruel world as well as his blind little sister.

As for the other disciples, their entire faces were just filled with bewilderment. They had not expected that Fang Lan the cockroach would lose his life like that! By being poison to death.

Just as Fang Lan had given up all hope and resigned to his ill fate, a white shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of him and said:

" Do you want to live?."
