Chapter 560 - A punch
“Tell me then, what do you want from me?” Since Ouyang Dong didn’t deny that he was the mastermind, he naturally had to go continue the conversation as such.
“I’m someone who has always returned an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I’ve also loved to beat my enemies using the same methods used on me. Since you tried to kill us, then what I want is simple. I want to use your life as payment.” Sima You Yue said slowly.
“You want my life? Ha ha ha- just based on you few freshmen?” The people behind Ouyang Dong burst out in laughter, “Young Master Ouyang, since they plan to kill us, then we do not need to hold back either.”
Ouyang Dong nodded, saying, “Then let us go to the battle arena.”
“Interesting.” Sima You Yue stood up, saying, “Let’s go. We’ll go take a look at what the battle arena is like.”
The battle arena was a place where everyone settled their personal grudges based on their own specialisations. If it were anywhere else, killing was actually not permitted.
Previously, when they had tried to Sima You Le in the sect, those people should have been subject to punishments by the sect. However, a few teachers in the sect favoured Ouyang Dong, so they didn’t do anything about it.
They headed to the battle arena, and those who were there to watch the show followed along. It had been a real long time since they had seen this kind of group battle.
When they reached the battle arena, it didn’t seem too different from the usual ones. It was just a little bigger.
“Shall we do it one vs one, or all together?” Ouyang Dong looked arrogantly at Sima You Yue and the others.
“It’s a waste of time to do it one by one, let’s all go up together.” Sima You Yue flew onto the stage as she spoke, and Sima You Lin and the others followed suit.
Ouyang Dong was just planning how to send his people up one by one, when she needlessly said that more was better than less, if too few went up, they wouldn’t be able to win.
“What are you thinking about? If you want to kill me, then you should all come up together.” Sima You Yue called out from up there.
“Hmph, you asked for it.” Ouyang Dong waved his hand, and everyone flew up stage and landed in front of Sima You Yue and the others.”
“Wait, I’m here too. I want to come up as well.” Little Tu called out from outside the arena. He ran to the area below the stage and wanted to come up.
“Hold it.” Sima You Yue cried out.
When Little Tu was just an inch away from the stage, he stopped. He raised his head and said to Sima You Yue, “Big Bro, I want to come up and fight with you too.”
“Little Tu, wait for us down there. You should cheer us on from there.” Sima You Yue said.
“But I want to join you too.”
“Little Tu, be obedient.” Sima You Yue looked at him with a gaze that told him not to worry, then turned to Ouyang Dong and said, “Begin.”
Little Tu saw that Sima You Yue wasn’t letting him go up, so he could only wait below the ring and look at them.
“Hmph, you asked for it. The battle ring does not care for who lives and dies. Just wait to go to hell!” Ouyang Dong smirked as he said.
“Is that so? I’m gifting your words right back at you. These are your final moments, you should make use of the time to say whatever you want to. In a moment, you may not be able to speak anymore.” Sima You Yue said.
“Ha ha ha, are you an idiot?” Su Ling Er burst out laughing, “Look at how many people you have, and look at our strength. We’re so much stronger than you all, okay! You still want to kill us? What a joke!”
“You’ll find out soon, whether I’m joking or not.” Sima You Yue said, “Call out your contracted beasts.”
She wanted to call Halcyon out. Although there were many Divine Overlords in the mix, they were not Halcyon’s opponent.
However, her motive for calling Halcyon out was not merely for the sake of defeating them.
“Halcyon, in a moment when it’s time to act, I need you to take control of the entire area and slow them down.” Sima You Yue ordered.
“Okay.” Halcyon replied.
Aside from Halcyon, she also called out her other contracted beasts, except Little Dream.
“Yue Yue, it’s been so long since you summoned me.” Little Roar immediately pounced into Sima You Yue’s embrace and whined.
“Aren’t I calling you out now?” Sima You Yue poked his head.
Aside from her, everyone else called their contracted beasts as well. Seeing that there were at least two sacred beasts among them, everyone was given a huge shock.
“Didn’t they say that these people came from the lower continent? How could they have so many sacred beasts?”
“Exactly. Even we don’t have that many sacred beasts. Are they really people from the lower continent?”
“Don’t look at those people, look at the person in the centre.”
“I know that person. It’s the sole person who entered the medicine sect this year.”
“He is that person? I heard that he was the only one this year, which was why they did not open a course for him and got him to follow Teacher Ge. Is he the one that Teacher Ge says in a genius?”
“Yeah, he’s the one.”
“I wasn’t talking about his identity. Just look at the contracted beasts beside him!”
“Ss- so many! Are they all his?”
“One, two, three, four, five. Five sacred beasts. How does he have so many sacred beasts!”
“Two of them even know how to transform!”
“Just who in the world is he?!”
“This is too crazy. Even those in the inner sect and those powers from the inner regions don’t have a single person with five sacred beasts!”
“Also, I heard that he’s only twenty over years old.”
“What! Twenty over years old! Impossible!”
“Not only is he only twenty over years old, even those people beside him are only twenty to thirty years old.”
“Being able to reach the divine rank at only twenty over years old… There are even alchemists, array masters, armament masters and beast tamers in the group. Most who have occupations tend to be weaker, but they… this is really too mind blowing!”
“Who knows, they might have fabricated this information! How could talents like them have come from the lower continent.” Someone voiced out his suspicions.
“Hey hey, if that’s really true, then Ouyang Dong has really shot himself in the foot!”
“However, although they have so many sacred beasts, Ouyang Dong has more people and they are stronger. The end is still uncertain!”
“Then let’s just wait and see.”
Ouyang Dong and the rest saw that Sima You Yue and the others had called out so many sacred beasts and were momentarily flustered. However, they still didn’t care for them. In any case, they still had double the number of people they did and some of their people had contracted sacred beasts as well.
“Now!”
The moment Sima You Yue spoke, Halcyon increased the gravity in this place, causing the movements of the opponents to turn sluggish and lowered their battling abilities. However, it wouldn’t affect Sima You Yue and the others.
The two sides began to act and the protective barrier around the battle arena activated, locking the two groups inside the battle arena.
Fatty Qu saw that the movements of the other party had turned sluggish, and punched one of them on the face, tossing that guy off immediately.
When they saw Fatty Qu punch that guy, those who were watching the fight all shrunk their heads back. It was as if that punch landed on their own faces.
