Removing the Nuisance

Under the eyes of the crowd, the entire discourse arena was filled with dust caused by the clash of techniques which were executed by Rihan and his opponents.

When the smoke dispersed, Rihan remained unscathed while in the other corner, only Xiao Nan and Shui Wushuang remained standing while the rest were forced to move a step back.

There was a deathly silence all around.

This was a battle where Rihan is at a disadvantage position in numbers, if his opponents were just weak disciples no one would be shocked but this line-up were part of the most outstanding disciples. Something like this has never happened before in the history of Blue Wind Ranking Tournament.

One must be aware that previously, within the group two members came from Four Major Sects and entered the 2nd group match without a stain on their records, there were very few people who could withstand even a casual strike from them. And yet today, even after their advantage in numbers they actually we're the ones who got pushed back?

The combined powerful technique of this fifteen was actually blocked by a single technique of Rihan. The impact even pushed the rest a steps back and only two remained on their previous position.

Those people who were confident that Rihan would lose were both angry and frightened when they saw this scene. It was as if they were viciously slapped in the face again.

They suddenly felt stupid for being so confident earlier.

Some girls around them who became fans of the Nura clan were all looking at them with mocking expression.

They can only sucked up their unwillingness and they can only wish that everyone forget what they said earlier.

Meanwhile in the sword discourse arena.

Both party entered a standstill.

But it didn't last long, as Rihan made his move, black smoke slowly coiled around his body.

Within the thick smoke, Rihan's eyes scelera turned black, only showing his golden pupils which instilled fear towards his opponent.

"Technique of the Lord of Hundred Demons; intimidation."

The moment Xiao Nan, Shui Wushuang and the rest's eyes met Rihan's they suddenly felt unsettled.

They can still see Rihan across them but despite seeing him, their bodies couldn't react, they felt like they couldn't reach him no matter what they do.

Adding the fact that the combined powers they sent towards Rihan was dispelled, the negative emotion in their hearts started to cloud their judgement.

Rihan's aura got heavier and heavier, the more they feared him, the stronger he gets but right now, they lost their willpower.

The only people who still kept their composure was Xiao Nan and Shui Wushuang especially the latter as they were trained to control their emotion in order to cultivate, even though they still remained calm, they still can't completely free themselves from Rihan's 'intimidation'.

Not being able to even move one's own body would easily make anyone extremely terrified and anxious.

But the onlooking audience could not empathize with their situation. Most of them could only see the fifteen of them standing there, but some of those perceptive people noticed the changes.

"Are they that scared of young master? To the point that they're afraid to move" Yuanba was unable to grasp the situation.

Qin Wushang and Fen Juechen similarly knitted their eyebrows, and gazed at Rihan's opponents in confusion.

"No, it's not that they don't want to move, it's because they can't move." Ling Chu explained his thoughts to Yuanba.

"If they can't even realize or admit that they were intimidated inside, the cycle will just repeat itself just like that Fort Master of the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress." Gyuuki added.

Hannya's lips involuntarily curled while looking at Rihan fighting in the arena.

Gyuuki who noticed Hannya's smile couldn't help but say,"The young master is slowly becoming like you."

"Don't say that or else that brat will get cocky." Hannya replied but the proud smile on his face contradicts his words, losing it's credibility.

In the arena, Rihan looked at his opponents who remained motionless because of his technique, his eyes swept everyone across him and stopped on a big guy who was a member of Sky Blade Clan.

Then an idea came into him as he retrieve his 'fear' aura around that guy.

The Sky blade mountain member called Li Badao felt Rihan's pressure disappeared, then he saw him beckoning.

When the crowd saw Rihan's actions they immediately realized his intentions, earlier today the elder from Skyblade Clan led the opposition against Hannya's proposal, and it seems like this young master knows how to hold grudge.

They're indeed correct but what made Rihan a bit irritated was how they reacted. They could've just refuse his father's proposal but instead they mocked the clan and even tried to oppress them.

Li Badao's face immediately turned dark from Rihan's provocation, without any thoughts he dashed with a roar.

Watching Li Badao who was coming for him like an arrow, Rihan felt no dread nor fear.

He did not wield nenekerimaru, nor did he use his techniques.

He just kept his eyes on Li Badao while calculating the latter's movement.

The moment Li Badao arrived and attacked in a piercing motion Rihan step to the side letting Li Badao's attack get past him.

Seeing that his attack failed Li Badao tried to change directions, when he suddenly felt pain in the back of his head sending him flying outside the ring.

What the crowd saw was Li Badao rushing towards Rihan when the latter step to the side causing Li Badao to get past him, that was when Rihan sent a roundhouse kick at Li Badao's head sending him flying outside the arena.

Gyuuki who saw it chuckled,"Now would you look at that? He even uses the Yakuza kick that you created."

Hannya can only smile wryly and refused to comment.

[Nura Clan Traditional Family Technique: Flying Yōkai Yakuza Kick is a traditional technique of the Nura family which delivers a powerful kick to an opponent. It is sometimes performed in a roundhouse manner.]

After sending the member of the Skyblade Clan out of the ring, Rihan's gaze landed on the remaining fourteen,"Now, since the nuisance is gone. Let's get started."

After saying that he freed the rest from intimidation so they can have a great battle.

Xiao Nan and Shui Wushuang looked at each other, they didn't know what Rihan plans to do since the latter freed them, but they didn't dwell much about it. What's important is that they can now start fighting back, the others also thought the same so they slowly stood..
