Fifteen Against "One"

Seeing that no one opposes the idea. Hannya and the rest returned to their initial position.

Qin Wushang and Fen Juechen who haven't seen the clan members in action before were silently terrified, to think that they were staying in the same place as them.

They inwardly felt glad, how terrifying would it be if they were on the opposite side.

They decided to just forget about it for now as they laid their eyes on the arena.

It didn't take long for 15 disciples to be selected.

Numerous gazes on the other side of the sword discourse arena saw fifteen figures standing motionless. However, everyone could sense that there was a storm surging beneath this momentary calm.

These people were among the best disciples who successfully passed the first round of the tournament so all of them are considered outstanding and among those fifteen disciples, the crowd were attracted to the two disciples who stood in the middle.

One of them is a young man with handsome visage and has a cold expression - He is Xiao Nan from Xiao Sect.

Before he stepped into the arena "Nan'er, go, just do your best in this battle. Remember what Grandfather always says,never underestimate your opponent, despite the difference in number it's useless against the truly strong experts." Xiao Juetian reminded Xiao Nan.

However Xiao Nan can tell a bit from Xiao Juetian's expression that he was worried about his safety.

The other person that caught the crowd's attention was an extremely beautiful young woman wearing snow-gauze long dress. She's a member Frozen Cloud Asgard named Shui Wushuang.

"Oh my God, Rihan's luck seems bad, to think that among his opponents two people from Four Major Sects has been selected."

"With this kind of line-up it's almost guaranteed that Rihan will lose."

"I wonder how the Nura Clan Patriarch feels now? That's what he gets for being so arrogant."

"Don't be so sure, haven't you seen the strength the Nura Clan showed earlier?"

After seeing this line-up everyone felt pity to the Blue Wind Imperial Family while some still have faith in Rihan.

Both parties remained motionless while trying to gauge each other's strength.

The crowd who were the closest to the arena were all watching with bated breath; they were aware that this silence wouldn't last long.

Once this equilibrium is broken, what follows would undoubtedly be an earth-shaking battle.

Ling Wugou looked at both sides to check if they're already prepared, after getting their confirmation, he immediately announced the start of the match.

Under the attentive gaze of the onlookers, the atmosphere on the Sword Discourse Arena became heavy, fifteen people released their profound energy causing the protection barrier to tremble.

On the opposite side of the arena stood Rihan, all by himself.

Rihan wielded nenekerimaru in his hands, staring calmly at them, unknowingly a grin already formed in his normally calm face.

He also released his 'fear' which covered his entire body with transparent black smoke spreading outwards meeting profound energies that was released by his opponents.

The entire Sword Discourse Arena was covered with ice Auroras, devilish wind, lightning, blazing flame etc. While clashing with the devilish dark aura that Rihan released.

Everyone thought that Rihan would immediately lose just from the clash of aura but to their shock they witnessed him releasing an aura strong enough to equal an entire group.

Rihan slowly walked towards them rhythmically. Every single step he took is light and elegant, "Let's start, shall we?"

Rihan raised nenekerimaru which caused terrifying vibrations rippled out and forced back all of his opponents except Xiao Nan and Shui Wushuang.

However, the other thirteen wasn't fazed and remained determined. Nobody was weak, they were part of the disciples who were only inferior to the members of Four Major Sects.

Seeing their reaction Rihan chuckled, now this is what he wants. Opponents who are determined, can be considered as good opponents.

Right after they received Rihan's poaching, they immediately countered, with an even more ferocious attack.

Shui Wushuang figure danced in the wind while covered with Ice Auroras, she circulated her Frozen Cloud Arts, creating countless ice lotus.

The moment she waved her hands countless lotus was sent towards Rihan.

Xiao Nan had already taken out his weapon. it was a jade sword that gave off a cool glow. The jade sword was called Wind Spirit Sword and it was a Earth Profound Weapon. With sword in hand, storm slowly formed and surrounded his body. Although the storm was not strong, it was extremely sharp. It was as though there were numerous swords dancing around him. Even those seated far away from the center of the Sword Discourse Arena could feel an unexplainable form of scary sharpness in the air.

"Receive my attack… Extreme Wind Slash!!"

The attacked that they executed were followed with different techniques from the rest.

Fifteen techniques coming together as one.

"It's over, there's no way he can defend against the combined attacks of fifteen experts."

"How pitiful, if the Nura Clan's Patriarch remained silent, Rihan should've the chance to enter the third round of the tournament."

Same kind of discussion can be heard from the onlookers. Ling Yuefeng even felt a bit of satisfaction when he saw the attack, he was displeased by Hannya's earlier tone and his initial warning so he was inwardly hoping these disciples to defeat Rihan, he was the one who hiddenly added the two members of Four Major Sects under the guise of 'random matching'.

Rihan remained calm while looking at the combined attacks, he placed his sword horizontally as he muttered: "SenbonYamabuki"

Nenekerimaru shone with golden light, A spirit form appeared behind him, a very beautiful woman with long black hair, black eyes, and pale skin wearing a kimono.

Unlike before her appearance became even more defined, which looks completely mesmerizing.

"Disintegrate"

The sword slowly disintegrated turning into golden petals.

That didn't end there as Rihan moved the sword handle into circular motion, "Okami no Hanabira (Wolf Petal of Disaster)"

The golden petals immediately converged together, forming into a golden wolf petals.

"Awoooooooo"

With a howl, the remaining golden petals formed into fourteen miniature wolves.

They soon howled together producing shockwaves everywhere causing the air to tremble.

Rihan's half-closed eye opened while flashing with battle intent, "Burn."

The pack of wolves howled with even more vigour as blazing flames covered their bodies.

Shua Shua Shua

The pack wolves madly rushed towards the incoming attack.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Consecutive explosion soon filled the entire discourse arena, the onlookers located close to the arena even covered their ears.
