Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 95 95

?After the referee announced the start of the match, neither Tenku nor Su Lingxu moved to attack. Su Lingxu maintained her coquettish smile, and Tenku looked at her indifferently.

"Please go easy on me, brother Tenku." Su Lingxu said in a voice full of sexual attraction and showed a pitiful face.

"Can you not call me like we're so close? Besides, you don't need to bother showing me that expression since it's useless." Tenku complained because he felt uncomfortable with how Su Lingxu said his name.

"Then should I call you little brother? That sounds more fitting since you're younger than me." Su Lingxu chuckled and didn't care about Tenku's words.

"Looks like you won't want to listen to anything I say." Tenku sighed and shook his head. Then his figure disappeared and reappeared in front of Su Lingxu. He thrust his spear into the girl's stomach.

"What!?" Su Lingxu was shocked by Tenku's sudden attack. She quickly swung her sword to deflect the spear.

Clank!

Su Lingxu managed to block Tenku's attack, but her hands went numb, and her clothes were torn from being pierced by the spearhead.

"Are you not ashamed to attack a woman suddenly?" Su Lingxu looked at Tenku angrily. She finally changed the expression on her face.

"Huh? Is that prohibited in the competition? After all, the referee had announced the start of the match. So I can attack you anytime." Tenku shrugged his shoulders and didn't care what Su Lingxu said. He did the same as the girl did before.

Su Lingxu quickly understood what Tenku meant by doing that. She regained her composure and smiled.

"I understand. I'm sorry that I was wrong here. In that case, now is my turn to attack." Su Lingxu said, and her body was covered with light. Then her figure suddenly blurred and split into two. After two, the girl turned four and continued to multiply until there were sixteen people with the same appearance as Su Lingxu in the arena.

"Huh?" Tenku raised his eyebrows when he saw sixteen people with the same appearance as Su Lingxu.

"Attack him!" Sixteen Su Lingxu charged at Tenku simultaneously.

Tenku stabbed the nearest Su Lingxu, but he frowned as he felt like he was attacking the air. After that, Su Lingxu he stabbed turned into an afterimage and disappeared. At the same time, another Su Lingxu appeared elsewhere in the arena, and their numbers returned to sixteen.

"Is it an illusion?" Tenku muttered and looked at sixteen Su Lingxu in the arena.

"Hehe… this is my practice, the Divine Dream Art. With my current strength, I can only make fifteen myself. But as my cultivation base increases, I can multiply my number now, and it will be in the thousands in the future.

You won't be able to hit me again, little brother. I will make you pay for what you have done to me." Sixteen Su Lingxu said simultaneously. They formed a circle with Tenku in the middle. After that, they attacked at the same time.

Tenku felt that the sixteen Su Lingxu were real but, at the same time, unreal. He found it challenging to see the real Su Lingxu. If he used his full strength, he could destroy the entire arena and kill sixteen Su Lingxu. But he couldn't do that now.

If Tenku showed his true strength, the enemy would become alert and send someone far stronger than him. He still didn't know how strong the Gu family was. Therefore he must be careful in his actions.

Moreover, Su Lingxu would die if he used his full strength and he would be disqualified from the competition. In that way, Wang Haotian's task would fail, and he would not be able to obtain the Qi Gathering Pill to increase his power.

Meanwhile, Wang Ruyue tensed up when she saw Su Lingxu's figure turn sixteen. She had fought her long ago, and the girl could only double herself up to eight. At that time, Wang Ruyue couldn't beat her, and the sparring ended in a draw as they were both exhausted.

But now Su Lingxu's strength has increased, and she can double herself to sixteen. Wang Ruyue wasn't sure she could beat her if he had to fight the current Su Lingxu. She was worried about Tenku because that ability was tricky and very hard to deal with. Wang Ruyue could only pray that Tenku would defeat Su Lingxu.

On the other hand, Wang Xiqing smiled broadly when he saw the scene. He had once fought against Su Lingxu and was overwhelmed when she used that technique. Wang Xiqing was sure that Tenku would lose this match, and he didn't need to do it himself. He thought that Tenku's victory in the preliminaries was just luck.

"Too bad I can't beat you head-on. If you were my opponent, I would make you lie in bed for a few months after this match." Wang Xiqing said disappointedly, and his eyes stared at Tenku viciously.

Back in the arena, Tenku's face turned serious when he saw the sixteen Su Lingxu.

"Looks like this fight will be troublesome and take longer than the preliminaries." Tenku sighed and stabbed the two Su Lingxu who came from the front. Just like before, the two of them became an afterimage and disappeared. Then two Su Lingxu appeared behind the others.

Tenku paid no heed to it and kept trying to find the real Su Lingxu. But he suddenly frowned as the bell in his mind rang, and he sensed danger from behind.

He quickly shifted his body, and a sword fell right where he had been standing before. Tenku couldn't completely dodge the attack; it hit his sleeve and tore it slightly.

Tenku thrust his spear and thought that Su Lingxu, who had torn his clothes, was the real one. But after he managed to stab her, the same thing happened. Su Lingxu became an afterimage and disappeared.

"What's this? Can the clone also give physical attacks to me?" Tenku was confused, but he wasn't given time to think because sixteen Su Lingxu attacked him again.

"Hehe... How is my strength, little brother? We're even now, right? I will be the winner in this match." Su Lingxu smiled and swung her sword. Eight attacks from the front and the remaining eight from behind.

Thousand of Stabs!

Tenku made successive attacks with his spear and hit eight Su Lingxu in front, and they reappeared at the edge of the arena. But one behind managed to give another tear to his shirt.

Then Tenku made another attack and managed to get rid of the eight Su Lingxu behind. Tenku was a little surprised because none of the sixteen Su Lingxu were real. But then he raised his eyebrows after realizing something.

"Does your real body mix with your clones, and you can swap positions with them as you please?" Tenku looked at Su Lingxu and asked. He saw that the girl's face had changed when he said that.

"Hehehe... you are a great, little brother. I didn't expect you to find me so soon. But you can do nothing even if you already know about it." Su Lingxu chuckled and said confidently. She didn't care even if the secret of her technique was discovered because she was sure that Tenku wouldn't be able to touch her.

"Is that so? Then I'll give it a try." Tenku took a stance like someone was pulling a bow and used his spear as an arrow. Then he compressed a large amount of Qi at all parts of his spear.

"What do you want to do?" Su Lingxu had a bad feeling when she saw Tenku's actions.

"If I can't defeat you one by one, then I just need to defeat all of you at once." Tenku said indifferently and then thrust her spear successively at Su Lingxu.

Tactical Rapid Stabs!

Tenku fired sixteen spears of Qi and shot at top speed toward each Su Lingxu in the arena.

"What!? You can use Spear Qi!?" Su Lingxu shouted in shock when she saw Tenku's attack. Not only her, the referee, Wang Ruyue, Wang Xiqing, and the spectators watching the match had the same feeling.

Spear Qi, Sword Qi, saber Qi or weapon Qi is a type of attack using compressed Qi into a weapon. To do so, a cultivator had to have a profound understanding of the weapons they used. Usually, only practitioners who had fought thousands of life-and-death battles could release Qi as weapons into their attacks.

But in that match, a fifteen-year-old boy attacked her using Spear Qi. Su Lingxu felt a chill down her spine when she saw that in person.

Tenku could use the weapon Qi on various armaments since he trained the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique to the mastery stage. He had not fought life-and-death battles thousands of times. Still, thanks to his terrifying comprehension ability, Tenku was able to learn the Thousand Arms Emperor Technique in no time which allowed him to use the weapon Qi.

(Had he done many life-and-death battles at his current age and deeply comprehended his weapons?)

She was confused, but she didn't have time to think about it because Tenku's attack stabbed the right thigh of each of the sixteen Su Lingxu.

"Aaaaahhhhh!" Su Lingxu screamed in pain and knelt, clutching her legs. After that, the other fifteen Su Lingxu slowly faded and disappeared from the arena.

Tap! tap! Tap!

"I think I've hit you. So, admit your defeat now." Tenku said and strolled towards Su Lingxu. Then he pointed the tip of his spear at her neck.

"It seems that I am no better than you, little brother. This is the first time I've lost to an opponent younger than me and been injured like this. I heard people talk about your prowess, but I didn't think you were this strong. I apologize for belittling you before." Su Lingxu sighed and then glanced at the referee.

"I admit defeat." Su Lingxu said in a slightly trembling voice from enduring the pain in her right thigh.

"The winner is Tenku of the Wang family!" The referee declared the winner of the match, and the crowd cheered afterward.

"Can you help me to my feet, little brother? You have to take responsibility for doing that to me." Su Lingxu looked at Tenku and stretched out her hand to him. The sentences are very ambiguous and can lead to misunderstandings if they don't know what happened in the match.

"Alright." Tenku sighed and reluctantly agreed. He held Su Lingxu's hand and helped her up, but Su Lingxu deliberately pressed her body against him. After that, Tenku supported her out of the arena under the cold eyes of Wang Ruyue.
