A Chaotic World

Chapter 131: The Arrogant Beimu Fei



Chapter 131: The Arrogant Beimu Fei

At the spectator's seats, Sect Master Leiba of the Lightning Crow Sect suddenly recalled something while he was watching the show. Upon which, he turned to City Lord Nanlan. "Oh, that's right. There is something that I forgot to mention earlier."

"What is it?" City Lord Nanlan asked.

"It is nothing much," Sect Master Leiba spoke thoughtlessly. "It is just that that kid Wanlei sent me a message earlier, saying that he wants to change his arranged marriage partner to your elder daughter instead. Is she called Nanlan Qianxue? She is still single, isn't she?"

"Qianxue?" City Lord Nanlan froze.

"Why? Is there a problem?" Sect Master Leiba frowned.

City Lord Nanlan let out an awkward cough before answering. "This is a little embarrassing, but my elder daughter is kind of going through a rebellious phase at the moment. It might be a little difficult to convince her to go through with it"

"Hahaha! All kids are like that when they grow up! It must have been tough on you!" Sect Master Leiba laughed out loud in response. "But you don't have to worry about it. All children have to listen to their parents when it comes to marriage, I am sure she is well aware of that as well. It is only because Wanlei is an orphan that I am making the decisions for him as his master. As long as you say the word, she will definitely have to listen!"

"What Sect Master Leiba says makes sense," City Lord Nanlan forced a smile. "I will talk to Qianxue about this matter. If she is agreeable, I will definitely let Sect Master Leiba know immediately."

"Hmm? Does that mean City Lord Nanlan is not fully confident about the matter?" Sect Master Leiba rubbed his chin in contemplation. "Is it because of the guys who are hanging around her? If that is so, City Lord Nanlan doesn't have to worry about it either. Wanlei mentioned that he is intending to get rid of them as well."

"What?" City Lord Nanlan's eyes shot open in shock. "I'm sorry to ask this, but may I know what does getting rid of them mean?"

Those guys who were hanging around Nanlan Qianxue must be the other members of the Nine Suns Sect. Not just that, but they were the top rankers of the recent Nine Suns Trial!

If the Elders of the Nine Suns Sect learnt that anything untoward happened to them, they would definitely cause quite a commotion back in his Bluenight City!

"Hahaha! Look at you getting all nervous!" Sect Master Leiba laughed. "Don't worry and have some faith in Wanlei! He might be a troublemaker but he knows his limits. There's no way that he will kill the friends of his fiance! If they don't resist, all they will receive would be a bit of injuries!"

"Is that so?" the corner of City Lord Nanlan's lips twitched wildly. "Hopefully things will turn out as Sect Master Leiba said then"

If they don't resist, all they will receive would be a bit of injuries?

But what if they do resist?

Or does Sect Master Leiba really expect those prideful youngsters to just stand there obediently while getting beaten up?

However, there was no way that he could say this to Sect Master Leiba's face.

After all, even though he was the lord of a city, his status was still considered slightly inferior as compared to the other party.

The Lightning Crow Sect was a top influence within Scarlet Moon City, and its strength was even greater than that of the Nine Suns Sect!

As its sect master, Sect Master Leiba was a terrifying Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist. His individual martial prowess was already one of the highest within the entire Scarlet Moon Kingdom!

As if that was not enough, his temperament leaned towards the extremes.

When angered, he would go all out to get revenge.

Offending him would be akin to setting off a time bomb. You wouldn't even know how you died after that!

But on the other hand, when he was on good terms with another person, he would be extremely generous and treat the other party like his blood brother.

That was the reason why City Lord Nanlan had decided to work on him. After a day's worth of persuasion, City Lord Nanlan thought that he had already accomplished his goal.

Who knew that such complications would suddenly arise?

Then again, as long as everything went as Sect Master Leiba said, then it was still not too bad!

As long as he could successfully link up with the Lightning Crow Sect, sacrificing one or two Nanlu Tianzis would still be worth it!

If that happened, he might have to spend quite a bit of effort in appeasing the Nine Suns Sect. But with the Lightning Crow Sect as his backing at that time, even the Nine Suns Sect would certainly not dare to push things too far!

Just as he was thinking of his next step, gasps of surprise started to come from the people around him, breaking his train of thoughts.

"Isn't that Beimu Fei of the Four Stars? What is she doing?"

"What else could she be doing? Can't you tell just from looking?"

"Of course I can, but I still can't believe what I am seeing!"

Curious, City Lord Nanlan followed their line of sight and looked towards Beimu Fei.

By now, the majority of the participants had already been eliminated from the fight. Thus, there was now much more space on the main platform as compared to before.

Just like the other members of the Four Stars, Beimu Fei had been left alone by the other participants since the start.

However, she had finally started making her move.

Thud-!

Beimu Fei planted the flag firmly on the floor and adjusted it accordingly. Then she stood up and moved to another spot, planting down another flag.

Everyone watched on in amusement.

In the middle of the fight, this Beimu Fei was actually taking the time to place a formation!

How arrogant!

This was completely taking advantage of the fact that no one was going after her at the moment. By doing so, it was as though she was telling the world that nobody would dare to interrupt her.

In a way, this was blatant disregard for her opponents!

"Hahahah!" the Scarlet Moon Overlord could not help but burst out in laughter. "As expected of Beimu Fei! Only someone who is following after Formation Master Beimu will even think of doing such a thing!"

"This Fei'er" Formation Master Beimu smiled in amusement as well.

The spectators might find it amusing, but the participants certainly did not share their sentiments.

Trying to defeat Beimu Fei was difficult enough.

As for trying to defeat Beimu Fei after she was allowed to place down her formation, that was on a whole new level of difficulty that nobody wished to face!

"Beimu Fei, aren't you pushing your luck too far?" Beiqian Ming warned. "Do you really think that we will just stand by and watch while you do as you please?"

"You will need to use more than words to stop me. Or is this the legendary dragon saliva technique that you are using right now?" Beimu Fei replied nonchalantly as she continued.

"Tch!" Beiqian Ming cursed in his heart before taking a quick glance at Fourth Prince Mosha.

As expected, that musclehead was still standing there calmly, showing no intentions of making his move anytime soon.

The Fourth Prince Mosha was incredibly strong.

But if there was one thing bad about him, it would be that he was a little overconfident in his own ability!

And as long as Fourth Prince Mosha did not act, Beiqian Ming was reluctant to take action either.

After all, Beiqian Ming was aiming for the top rank in this Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet!

He needed to remain at his peak state in order to stand a chance of winning against the Fourth Prince.

But if he continued to stand by and watch, once Beimu Fei was done placing her formation, her strength would skyrocket in an instant. At that point, she would be no weaker than Fourth Prince Mosha.

No, she would definitely become even more difficult to deal with than Fourth Prince Mosha!

But if he stepped out against Beimu Fei right now, it would be impossible for him to obtain victory without going all out. And that meant he would no longer be able to defeat Fourth Prince Mosha when it came down to it.

What a dilemma!

What about that useless Beihua Wanlei?

Beiqian Ming looked to the other direction, only to see Beihua Wanlei looking right back at him.

It appeared that both of them were thinking of the same thing. Everyone was shooting for the top place, and no one wanted to be the sacrificial lamb here.

As for working together with Beihua Wanlei, he could just forget about it.

That temperament bastard would be the last person he would ever want to work together with!

Who knew when Beihua Wanlei would suddenly turn around to stab him in the back?

Neither way seemed to be able to work, and it was precisely because Beimu Fei knew of their personalities that she dared to act as arrogantly as she did.

"The Four Stars of Scarlet Moon City? What a letdown!" a sudden exclamation from one of the participants caught everyone's attention.

Lu Tianzi recognised this person immediately.

It was the same swordsman from earlier, the one who should be from the Flaming Shadow Sect.

"And who the hell are you?" Beiqian Ming questioned.

His mood was already bad enough as it was. The swordsman's taunt only made him feel even more irritated.

"Am I wrong? One who relies on fame to act in such arrogance, others who dare not act even in the face of such provocation And you are supposed to be the strongest among the younger generation? What a joke!" the swordsman mocked. "Since all of you are so afraid of your opponent, I will take care of it in your place!"

"Take care of what? Are you referring to me?" Beimu Fei turned to face the swordsman. "With just you alone?"

"I am more than enough!" the swordsman shouted before firing a black fireball towards Beimu Fei.

Beimu Fei drew her sword.

With a swift vertical slash, she directly sliced the fireball into two. The two halves of the fireball flew past her on both sides, exploding upon contact with the ground further behind.

Beimu Fei directed her killing intent towards the swordsman as she spoke coldly. "Looks like I need to show off a little from time to time, or else every stray dog or cat will start to think that I am a pushover!"

"Or perhaps you are the frog in a well, not knowing that others had long surpassed you while you are still living in that bubble of yours!" the swordsman retorted. "Begone!"

Five consecutive fireballs shot towards Beimu Fei this time, but Beimu Fei was not flustered.

She stood her ground, bringing her sword up into the air.

At this moment, she looked like a majestic goddess of war, unfazed even as she took on the approaching dark forces of hell.

As the black fireballs neared, she once again slashed down with her sword.

In the eyes of Beimu Fei, it was not a huge problem to deal with these black fireballs.

Sword light flashed.

Five consecutive slashes from her cleanly took out every last one of the black fireballs.

But this swordsman from the Flaming Shadow Sect was no weakling either. Even someone like Beimu Fei had to fully concentrate in order to fend off the attack.

Right when she thought she was done, Beimu Fei suddenly felt a sharp killing intent from behind her.

Shit!

Beimu Fei immediately dodged to the side, but even that failed to shake off her opponent. It was as though the other party had been well prepared for hat, quickly adjusting the attack trajectory straight towards her!

"Take this!" Beihua Wanlei shouted as his hand reached out towards Beimu Fei.

His fingers were locked into the shape of claws, and electric bolts could be seen cackling around his entire hand.

If Beimu Fei were to be struck by that, there was no doubt that she would be heavily injured at the very least!

"You sneaky bastard!" Beimu Fei cursed when she realised that Beihua Wanlei had sneaked up on her while she had been busy with the swordsman.

But there was no longer anything she could do about it by now.

All she could do was to brace for the attack by gritting her teeth and guarding her body with Slaughter Essence energy.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

While Beimu Fei was looking for a chance to move in and take out the swordsman from the Flaming Shadow Sect, Beihua Wanlei had patiently bidded his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike so that Beimu Fei would have no way of evading!

As expected as a member of the Four Stars, his timing was impeccable!

But at that very moment, Beihua Wanlei suddenly felt like his entire world had fallen into complete darkness.

A foreboding feeling assaulted all his senses, as though desperately warning him of the incoming danger.

What?

Since Beihua Wanlei was already halfway through his attack, it took everything he had just to turn around and take a look at the monstrosity that was approaching him.

When he finally saw what was coming for him, a chill went straight down his spine as he felt goosebumps appearing all over his body.

It was a ghastly apparition.

It was the head of a ferocious devil.

It was the harbinger of death that had came straight from the depths of hell.

But most importantly, it was the first attack in the entire battle royal that succeeded against any one of the Four Stars!
