Chapter 42 Playing Hero

After watching for a while, Kai Yang's eyebrows creased because he saw that it wasn't because Su Mu's attacks didn't hit that youngster, but rather Su Mu's attack had no effect even when they hit. When Su Mu's fist landed, that youngster didn't even bat an eyelid, while Su Mu on the other hand received some light injuries.

Between the two, the difference in Qi energy fluctuations was quite small, in other words, their strengths were about equal. How could there be such a large disparity when they battled?

"What's going on?" Yang Kai patted Li Yun Tian's shoulder as he asked.

Turning around, Li Yun Tian's face turned joyous as he replied: "Senior brother Yang!"

Hearing this shout, Zhou Hu and the others saw Yang Kai and went to greet him before turning around to face the people facing them.

"How come Su Mu is not his opponent?" Yang Kai voiced his puzzlement, "Their strengths should be about the same?"

Yang Kai already knows because of the artifact but still asks because later doesn't have a doubt on him.

Li Yun Tian immediately nodded his head; however, his expression fell: "En, Young Master Su is currently at the initial element second stage while that person is at the initial element third stage. If you really wanted this to be fair, then you would have to say Young Master Su is not exactly his opponent, so he would not have an easy time. 

But this person is despicable to the extreme. As fellow disciples when we are exchanging notes and during our duels, we do not use any treasures or artifacts, however, he actually dared to wear a defensive artifact. How can Su Mu's attacks show their might?"

When he heard this, Yang Kai thought showed his contemplation: "Defensive artifact? Maybe I can try my Qi sword on it"

"Right." Li Yun Tian clenched his teeth: "He is the Grand Elder's blood grandson; he is called Wei Zhuan. His defensive artifact was given to him personally by the Grand Elder."

"Another second-generation master?" 

"The Grand Elder and the Second Elder were never on good terms, so much so that even Su Mu and this Wei Zhuan held unfavorable impressions of each other. Now that he has this opportunity, he definitely plans on teaching Su Mu a ruthless lesson." Li Yun Tian was secretly worried.

Yang Kai said: "So it was just some boring and senseless internal strife."

"Senior brother Kai, please think of a way to save Young Master Su. You know his character, if he continues like this, then he will receive heavy injuries. "

Yang Kai remained calm: "The exchange of notes between Main Gate disciples, if you are not up to par with them then you are beaten up a little. Are you saying that Sky Tower disciples are afraid of this?"

"But this duel wasn't fair from the start, and Wei Zhuan is hiding behind the might of his defensive artifact."

Yang Kai coolly laughed: "This world was never fair! The strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected. You should already know all of this."

Li Yun Tian became speechless, left at a loss for words.

On the battleground, Su Mu was already on the verge of collapse and his attacks no longer had much strength behind them. Wei Zhuan was laughing out loud, exceptionally pleased with this outcome. 

Hitting his chest proudly he said: "Su Mu don't be polite, please come over. This young master is feeling very generous today, for I will not move from this spot at all. And if you are able to hurt me, then it will be my loss."

Su Mu's eyes blurred; both his fists had smears of red blood over them. The defensive artifact that Wei Zhuan wore not only had defensive properties, but it could also deflect World Qi-imbued attacks, causing Su Mu's every attack to rebound back on him with at least half the original strength. The injuries on his fists were caused by this.

Hearing Wei Zhuan's arrogant words, Su Mu spat out some blood as he retorted full of contempt: "If you have the guts then take off that turtle shell you're wearing. If this young master doesn't beat you until you can only crawl, then you aren't my grandson!"

"What a child plays just give them a sword so they can kill each other," Yang Kai thought with a boring expression not caring about them.

"Host you need to save Su Mu" Sweet Potato said.

"I know it is just boring and I don't to follow the clinch plot," Yang Kai said.

Wei Zhuan's expression became frosty and sinister. Laughing evilly: "No small amount of courage! You actually dared to take advantage of me! You will pay for your words!"

Wei Zhuan was clearly enraged, three steps, two steps, he rushed towards Su Mu. Throwing out a punch at Su Mu's cheek, Su Mu could only attempt to block with his hands. But his strength was already incomparable to his opponent, so he couldn't defend against it. As the punch landed, it immediately caused his cheek to swell up, and his head to turn one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Call me grandfather and this young master will spare you!" After hitting him for a while, Wei Zhuan paused to say this.

Su Mu coolly looked up, smiling with disgust evident in his eyes.

Last time, Su Mu narrowly avoided Cheng Shao Feng smashing a stone into his head, but he still hadn't yielded. How could he surrender this time?

"You make me laugh!" Wei Zhuan didn't hesitate and resumed hitting Su Mu, Su Mu's teeth went flying and his nose started to overflow with blood causing his appearance to be quite pitiful.

This Wei Zhuan's hands were very fierce, even more so than Cheng Shao Feng's had been.
