Chapter 1204 - Roar
On the final day, Liu Wuxie did not venture out with He Yingwu to hunt more jade tokens. Over the course of nine days, he had alone gathered 1,500 tokens. He drew out five hundred and pressed them into He Yingwu's hand, enough to lock down first and second place between them.
"Wuxie, look over there!" He Yingwu sprang to his feet. Outside the valley, a dust cloud billowed as if an army were pounding toward them.
Liu Wuxie straightened, unsurprised. He had been waiting for this moment.
"About time they came," he murmured.
If Huang Shan had ordered Qin Ming to kill him, then the War Dragon Institute's disciples would have surely received similar instructions. He Yingwu shifted into a defensive stance. The oncoming numbers had doubled since their last assault.
In a blink, more than a hundred figures pushed into view, with Mu Heng and Shen Yue at their head. Mu Heng had been nursing a grudge since the assessment. When Liu Wuxie had stolen his glory, he even ordered his men to kill Liu Wuxie in the arena. For their feud to end, only one of them could survive.
"Same as before. You fall back," Liu Wuxie said. He was ready for a slaughter. Planet lord's son or not, he would cut down anything that barred his path.
The ring of enemies closed so tightly that even a bird would struggle to escape.
Outside the mountain range, the twelve elders tensed. They had seen what Liu Wuxie could do. Mu Heng and Shen Yue had just broken through to the third level of the Origin Conversion Realm; no one knew if Liu Wuxie could conjure another miracle.
The Dharma Institute and War Dragon Institute elders fretted over hidden trump cards. The Heavenly Martial Institute elders worried, too, but about Liu Wuxie dying under Mu Heng's blade.
"Liu Wuxie, how have you been?" Mu Heng called, wearing a mocking smile. He had planned ten days for this, a cautious hunter waiting until he stood at the third level of the Origin Conversion Realm.
"Come and fight," Liu Wuxie answered. He had no patience for posturing. His fighting spirit blazed, swelling into a shockwave that rolled outward.
