#1229 - Chapter 1229 You're Using Dirty Tricks

It seems Elder Wang was right. Elder Mu fears fighting to the death the most, as he values his own life above all else.

Ye Kong stood with his hands behind his back, the white bone beneath his blood-streaked wrist clearly visible. If not treated promptly, he feared his entire wrist would be lost.

While waiting for Elder Shui to take the stage, Ye Kong pulled out two handkerchiefs. Using both hands, he sprinkled a few grains of universal powder, then tightly wrapped his wrist.

Ye Kong's expression was tense as he did all this, gritting his teeth throughout, sweat constantly streaming down. After finishing, Ye Kong inhaled sharply, desperately biting his lip until blood oozed out, to avoid crying out in pain.

After Elder Shui came on stage, seeing Ye Kong's pale face, he knew that Elder Mu had given Ye Kong a hard time.

Elder Shui excelled at finding weaknesses, prescribing the right remedy, and striking with a single blow.

Elder Shui scanned the scene and immediately noticed Ye Kong's tightly wrapped wrist, from which traces of blood were seeping after Ye Kong exerted some force.

For cultivators, hands are of utmost importance. Seeing that Ye Kong's hand had already been bound by the Immortal Binding Rope, if he were to apply a bit more force, he could cripple those hands, preventing Ye Kong from ever being arrogant again.

No sooner said than done, Elder Shui began to cast his spell, all his spiritual power instantly striking towards Ye Kong's arm.

Knowing that Elder Shui wanted to target his hands, Ye Kong put his hands behind his back, relying on nimble footwork to evade Elder Shui's attacks.

Seeing that he couldn't attack Ye Kong, Elder Shui raised both hands, summoning wind and rain. A torrent of water poured down, drenching Ye Kong completely.

Ye Kong reached out to resist, but a sharp pain in his wrist made him quickly retract his hand, soaking him inside and out.

Ye Kong's disheveled state puzzled everyone present.

Were the twelve elders too powerful? Or was Ye Kong not as invincible as rumored? Were the titles bestowed upon him by the Upper Realm all false?

Even those familiar with Ye Kong felt that his performance in these few matches was extremely abnormal.

But how had no one at the Tai Chu Academy ever heard of items like the Immortal Binding Rope before?

"How is it, Ye Kong? If you admit defeat, I will stop," Elder Shui asked, looking at Ye Kong triumphantly.

Ye Kong barely steadied himself, the huge splash of water choking his mouth and nose, preventing him from uttering a sound.

Seeing that Ye Kong was unmoved, Elder Shui increased the water volume, the water mixed with sharp thorns, piercing Ye Kong's body along with the water patterns, making Ye Kong suffer whether he moved or not.

Ye Kong struggled and floundered in the water, but even if it caused Ye Kong more pain, it didn't give him any advantage.

Elder Shui flooded the arena, and more water was about to flow off the stage, but it was blocked by the barrier on the stage. Ye Kong was no longer visible, lying flat in the water.

Seeing that Ye Kong was not struggling, Elder Shui was confident of victory. With a wave of his hand, he retracted the water, and Ye Kong fell down with a thud.

Ye Kong's eyes were closed, his face pale, and the clothes on his body were dirty and crumpled into a ball, unsure if he was dead or alive.

Seeing this, the audience below the stage climbed up along the arena, wanting to see how Ye Kong was, but they were all blasted far away by the power of the barrier.

Elder Shui panicked at the sight. If Ye Kong died, he would not be able to escape responsibility and would have to bear the blame.

So Elder Shui immediately bent down and called out, "Ye Kong, Ye Kong!" While calling out, he also sent spiritual power to Ye Kong. He slumped to the ground only after seeing Ye Kong open his eyes.

Ye Kong opened his eyes and spewed out a mouthful of water, which happened to splash all over Elder Shui.

Elder Shui stood up directly, "Ye Kong, you…"

Ye Kong coughed violently, spitting out water as he coughed, until he had completely emptied the water from his body before he felt a little better.

In this situation, even the referee was ready to declare Elder Shui the winner.

Moreover, Long Hui in the previous match also suffered a major setback when challenging Elder Shui, unable to withstand even one move from Elder Huo, resulting in his defeat.

Just then, Ye Kong reached out, struggling to get up, "Wait, I can still fight."

Everyone was watching Ye Kong, wondering how Ye Kong still dared to say this, when he had almost lost his life just now.

Ye Kong continued, "I haven't made a move yet."

Elder Shui said as if he heard a joke, "You want to make a move? Good, good, I'll see how you make a move!"

Since Elder Shui had no objection, the match continued.

After a while, Ye Kong changed into a pure white plain robe, the sleeves were very long, covering his battered wrist. Although Ye Kong had tried his best to heal and applied the medicinal materials specially prepared by Elder Wang, the wrist could be saved, but recovery would be a long process.

Ye Kong asked Qishan beside him, "Has Lingli's location been found?"

"No, she is not at the Tai Chu Academy. Everyone has already gone down the mountain to look for her."

Ye Kong took the stage again, with a refreshed look, standing calmly on the stage, as if everything just now had never happened.

This time, Ye Kong made the first move.

Ye Kong exerted his strength to grind past, raised his hand and chanted a spell, countless Soul Suppressing Talismans swept in from all directions, pressing towards Elder Shui.

However, the injury on his wrist left a flaw in this Soul Suppressing Talisman, and Elder Shui jumped out, drenching the Soul Suppressing Talisman with water, and the talismans fell to the ground one by one, like a grand golden rain.

Ye Kong casually pinched two and handed them over, Elder Shui easily pinched them, laughing non-stop, but Ye Kong's eyes were a little strange.

Elder Shui looked over, and the two talismans in his hand dissolved as soon as they touched the water, entering his body along Elder Shui's palm, and strangling the door of spiritual power.

Elder Shui was suddenly restrained, and the whole person took a step back. At this time, his throat also seemed to be strangled to death, unable to breathe.

Elder Shui pointed at Ye Kong while pinching his neck, "Ye Kong, you, you actually used insidious tricks!"

"No, it's just a blindfold," Ye Kong said, and Elder Shui felt the feeling of confinement in his neck dissipate, and quickly squatted down to gasp for breath.

"This time, it's real!" Ye Kong got up and slammed his elbow joint hard at Elder Shui, and Elder Shui was split into a bottomless cliff.

The surroundings suddenly turned black.

Elder Shui cast a spell to leap up, but there was no limit, he was trapped in it by Ye Kong.

After a while, a pair of hands stretched out and dragged Elder Shui up.

Elder Shui collapsed to the ground as if he was drowning. No one knew what happened in the short moment.

I saw Elder Shui waving his hand, no more competition.

Ye Kong won with difficulty.

This competition was so difficult, which was inseparable from Ye Kong himself.

All this has to start with that manual.
