Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 72 Admitting Defeat

Fa Wu grabbed Yin Lei's storage bag and the golden slender sword in his hand.

This was what the winner of the duel deserved. Even though Hu Xiangzhen's face was very ugly, he wouldn't say anything.

"This Fa Wu is very powerful, Junior Brother Wu. Who do you think should compete?" Qiao Chun asked with a frown. Obviously, Fa Wu's strength had far exceeded his expectations.

Wu Hongfei was also surprised, but only surprised. In his opinion, if Fa Wu hadn't hidden his strength, although his methods were mysterious, he still couldn't defeat him. However, apart from himself and Qiao Chun, it seemed that no one else could reliably defeat him. “Junior Brother Lin, why don’t you go this round?” Wu Hongfei said deliberately, glancing at Lin Haoming.

Lin Haoming readily agreed, “Okay!”

Wu Hongfei was somewhat surprised by his agreement.

Qiao Chun was also puzzled; could Lin Haoming have some other methods besides talismans?

Just as everyone was anticipating his performance, Lin Haoming stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Fa Wu, and then declared confidently, “I concede!”

Hearing the words “I concede,” Wu Hongfei was instantly stunned, especially since Lin Haoming spoke with such force, as if conceding was a noble act.

Lin Haoming deliberately glanced at him before saying, "Senior Brother Wu, you know perfectly well that I'm only at the ninth level of Qi Refining. This Master Fa Wu is far superior to me in both cultivation and strength. What are your true intentions? I feel that even if I risk my life, I can't win, so I have to admit defeat."

"Fine, very well!" Wu Hongfei felt that even after admitting defeat, he still criticized him, making him seem petty and vindictive.

If there weren't other people present, Wu Hongfei really wanted to kill him outright.

The Blood Refining Sect's consecutive defeats left the Vajra Temple and Heavenly Sword Mountain people both amused and exasperated.

Seeing them even turning on each other, it was hard to say how much of a chance they had left to reach the end.

Of course, for Hu Xiangzhen, Fa Wu was truly a headache. Yin Lei was someone she considered second only to herself, and now that he had been killed so suddenly, anyone sent in next would likely not benefit.

Even so, Hu Xiangzhen didn't intend to give up and directly sent a disciple with excellent defensive skills, cultivated earth-attribute techniques, to fight.

That person only intended to exhaust Fa Wu's mana and lacked the will to win, so naturally he was defeated in the end. However, he did have some skills; Fa Wu had to use seven or eight magic seals before defeating him, and even then, he didn't have a chance to kill him.

Seeing that Fa Wu's mana was significantly depleted, Qiao Chun from the Blood Refining Sect immediately sent someone to attack, thinking he could take advantage of the situation. However, Fa Wu, in a few consecutive moves, instantly killed the person, leaving the Blood Refining Sect members dumbfounded.

However, Fa Wu's mana was indeed exhausted at this point, and when the Tianjian Mountain disciple stepped forward, he immediately conceded defeat.

His surrender did benefit Tianjian Mountain, but the Tianjian Mountain disciple was indeed there to take advantage. Wang Chen from the Blood Refining Sect took the initiative to fight, and with his superior skills, not only defeated the Tianjian Mountain disciple but also killed him on the spot. His resounding victory restored some face for the Blood Refining Sect. He also defeated the monks sent by the Vajra Temple, though not killed, two consecutive wins were still a significant achievement.

However, after his second victory, he immediately announced his withdrawal for the next match. Although he still had some strength left, Wang Chen knew when to stop; otherwise, he might lack stamina in the next round, which would be disastrous, especially since this was a life-or-death struggle.

Thus, the three sides fought back and forth, each with their own victories and defeats. As time passed, only a few remained.

Hu Xiangzhen's plan to rely on his strong foundation failed. Although the Blood Refining Sect was the first to reduce them to only two, Wu Hongfei's strength was formidable, having already defeated four people in succession.

Now, the only remaining member of the Heavenly Sword Mountain besides himself was fighting, but the situation didn't look promising.

Sure enough, within moments, the last member of Tianjian Mountain besides himself was defeated. Although not directly killed by Wu Hongfei, he was seriously injured.

After his victory, Wu Hongfei immediately took out a high-grade spirit stone to recover his mana.

He must have found the spirit stone in the cave; he would never have had the chance to use it before, but now he didn't care.

Jingang Temple was in the best condition among the three sects, but now it was the second-to-last person's turn to fight.

Fakong and Fayuan exchanged glances.

Fakong wanted to attack first, but at this moment, the young monk Fayuan jumped out, smiling at Wu Hongfei, and said, "Alright, stop absorbing mana, come on!"

When Wu Hongfei saw Fayuan jump out and see him deliberately holding his Nine Profound Sword, which he had used for many years, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The shadow of his previous fight with Fayuan still lingered; he was still somewhat apprehensive, especially now that his mana was greatly depleted.

Of course, admitting defeat outright was impossible; it concerned not only himself but also the entire sect.

Wu Hongfei took a deep breath. The Nine Profound Sword had been taken by Fa Yuan, and during the previous fight, he had been barely managing to use the Five Elements Sword from Heavenly Sword Mountain.

Now, he thrust the Five Elements Sword into the ground in front of him, then patted his storage pouch, revealing several slender silver needles.

Everyone saw Wu Hongfei insert these needles one by one into his own body. After doing so, his aura became even stronger than when he entered the fray.

"Your secret technique is quite interesting!" Fa Yuan waited for him to use this technique. As he spoke, his bones crackled and popped, and in a short time, his body grew a foot taller, becoming exceptionally burly.

These changes in both sides foreshadowed an extraordinary battle.

Lin Haoming watched their fight, feeling somewhat conflicted.

He was torn between wanting Wu Hongfei dead and wanting his own side to win.

Once they obtained the top-grade spirit stone, the Blood Refining Sect would be considered the victor in the spirit stone mine competition. The top three would each receive three Foundation Establishment Pills as a reward, and with his own gains, he believed he would at least be among the top three, even if he didn't get the top-grade spirit stone.

Caught in this internal struggle, Lin Haoming, seeing Wu Hongfei again emboldening him with a loud shout, swung his Five Elements Sword at Fa Yuan.

Wu Hongfei was also a body-refining cultivator, so his stamina was far superior to that of ordinary Qi Refining disciples who only cultivated mana. Now, stimulated by the secret technique, the power he unleashed was truly terrifying.

Fa Yuan swung his prayer beads, engaging in a direct confrontation, and was surprisingly at a disadvantage for a time.

Wu Hongfei was initially wary of Fa Yuan, but after their initial encounter, he realized Fa Yuan wasn't as strong as before. His confidence soared, and his already formidable momentum intensified, making Fa Yuan seem almost unable to withstand the onslaught.
