Looking at Xia Peng in front of him, Xia Yunba brandishes his sword and lunges forward, creating a green gust of wind.
Seeing his brothers attack, Xia Peng's face turn serious and takes out a great sword. He use the great sword to block the incoming attack.
Sword Qi started to fill the entire arena, the ground was continuously shaking because of the heavy pressure they are releasing. Both of their sword collide with each other as the pressure increases. Even though their fight just started, both of them was already covered in sweat. Xia Yunba jump back as he breathe heavily, the sword on his hand started to emit a bright green light.
"Piercing Mountain Six Strikes" Xia Yunba shouted as he thrust his sword forward aiming at his brothers heart.
*swoosh* *swoosh* *swoosh* *puchi*
A sound of flesh being pierce resounded the whole arena, they could see that Xia Yunba's sword has successfully pierce his brothers heart.
"I..i..impossible I clearly dodge your sword, how did it still manage to hit me. T..this is impossible I refuse to believe this." Xia Peng said as his face was full of disbelief. Blood was running on the corner of his lips, his old face was paled white as he stare at the sword in his body.
"Even if you refuse to believe this outcome, this is still the truth and you must accept it." Xia Yunba said to his brother as he stare at him without any emotion. "Brother do you really think that I do not know what you did back then."
Xia Peng's pale face become even more paler as he hear what his brother said. The audience watching the fight become curious about the past of this two brothers.
"Brother you did not think that I would know do you? All the scheme you make back then just to achieve higher cultivation. You sold our little sister to that bastard just for a Mortal grade herb, you you conspire with the bandits just to steal our family's treasure. Do you know what they did to mother and father when you leave after you get the treasure?" Xia Yunba look at his dying brother as extreme anger and anguish was flooding his heart, "Mother, our mother! they rape her in front of father, they play her like some toy. And then when they were finish with her, they make her watch as they chop father limb by limb. Do you know how much hate, anger and pain I felt when I saw that.", he said as tears uncontrollably come out of his eyes.
"It is fortunate that a senior happened to pass by and kill those bandits. Mother who was raped a couple of times and watch as her husband was tear to pieces committed suicide after father was buried. Brother this is retribution for all those things that you did. May you rest in piece.. brother." after he said that he withdraw the sword in his brothers chest as he look at the blue sky with a peaceful smile.
The crowd was silence, they had not thought that there would be such a story behind this fight. The people from Sacred Mountain was also shocked, they had not thought that their benevolent elder had such a past that they did not know.
Xia Yunba drew a deep breath and leave the platform.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the first fight ended, the tournament continues. Several people compete against each other, some people died while some become crippled. The emperor, his two sons and the three generals continue to watch with interest.
One of the 'Three Great Generals' The Crimson General stood up and look at the emperor, the emperor nod to him and the general landed on the platform.
The general look at the crowd and shouted, "I, one of the 'Three Great Generals' Xie Yiban also known as 'The Crimson General" announces that whoever beats me or last ten strikes against me will have a reward from the emperor." he said as he look at the crowd arrogantly.
Once again the shouting audiences turn silent, even the two other generals watch Xie Yiban with interests. They knew that this is plan of the emperor, they also knew that he was using the general to show the people the might of his general. That they have nothing to fear even if the number one general of the enemy empire attacks. But still they know that this was just a show, if that general really attack them, they stood no chance against him at all. Luckily that enemy general was busy fighting in another war, if not he would clearly run his army in the capital.
The general glance around, everyone who met his eyes would turn away. Seeing the panic in the eyes of the people he look at, the general smirked and laugh arrogantly.
"Is there really no one who has the guts to fight against me? what about the sects are you just decoration there. You sects always act high and mighty in front of common people. Why don't you try stepping in this platform and test if you all have the capabilities to act like that." the general said as he continue to ridicule the sects.
Some of the elders of the sect went down to battle, but they did not even lasts two move against the general. The people look at the elders with mockery on their faces.
"Are all of the people here so thrash and scared that they don't even dare to went down here to battle. What is the use of your weapons and cultivation, you guys should just remain in your houses." the general said.

"Yare~yare it seems your arrogance had affected your intelligence. Let me see if you really have the capability to back up whatever you said"
Everyone was shocked as they saw an old man wearing a white clothing in the platform while holding a cane in his front. All of them the generals, the emperor and the audience never saw when did he appear of when did he move.
The second prince and Shui Xulat was even more shocked because the old man in the platform facing the Crimson General was non-other than the old man they encounter on the road to the capital.
"My name is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, I hope you can entertain this old man here"
