#95 - Chapter 95 Erha, Don't Hold Me Back

The next day, the sun was warm and pleasant.

But the faces of the seven peak masters were not so pleasant.

Especially Qin Wuyi, who never dreamed that his prized disciple would be defeated by a child.

And it was a child from the Carefree Peak.

A dignified Great Emperor prodigy, with the strength of the Golden Core realm, was defeated by a Foundation Establishment child.

If this were to spread, it would not only be Qin Shou's face that was lost, but also his own old face.

Last night, they had also talked with the Sect Leader, asking what would happen if Carefree Peak took first place?

The Sect Leader's words were even colder, saying to do whatever should be done, and to treat the nine peaks equally.

Within the sect, the eight peaks were detached from the outside world, and everyone looked down on Carefree Peak.

But the Sect Leader said to treat them equally, so Carefree Peak would probably rise.

By then, the resources obtained by their eight peaks would be greatly reduced, and some of the main peak's autonomy would return to the Sect Leader's hands.

This was what they least wanted to see.

Usually, they had the final say in their own peaks, and although they belonged to the Star River Sect, they listened to announcements but not to orders.

The Sect Leader could not find a reason to target them.

But now, once the weak Carefree Peak took first place, then their eight peaks would be finished.

Especially the one at the bottom; if they became the bottom of the nine peaks, then their autonomy would probably be taken away by the Sect Leader.

"Alas, these days are getting harder and harder," Peak Master Yao Zidan of Pill Peak sighed.

"Who told the disciples of Carefree Peak to be so fierce? Even the strongest of the younger generation, Chen Changqing and Qin Shou, have been defeated, so the others are probably in suspense."

"Just don't be at the bottom; being at the bottom would be terrible."

The peak masters were worried, for if they were at the bottom, the trouble would be great.

As time approached, everyone saw Ye Kong bringing his two disciples to participate in the competition.

In particular, they sensed that Lin Yaoyao's aura was unstable, and she could break through to the Golden Core realm at any time.

She was already unbeatable at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm, and once she broke through to the Golden Core realm, her strength would rise to another level, and she would comprehend deeper techniques, making it even harder to fight.

"Now we're completely done for," Qin Wuyi's heart also cooled.

"What about Chen Chunyang? We're worried here, doesn't he care at all?" Liu Ruqing looked at the others.

They were worried that Chen Chunyang had not yet appeared.

"What does he care about? Even if his disciple is defeated, his Heavenly Sword Peak has plenty of people, anyway, it's impossible for his Heavenly Sword Peak to be at the bottom," Qin Wuyi said.

As the few people talked, the arena competition was about to begin.

Ye Kong did not step onto the Star River, but instead instructed his disciples.

"Work hard and do your best. When you get first place, Master will make you delicious food when we get back," Ye Kong cheered for Lin Yaoyao and Xiaobai.

"Really?" Xiaobai's eyes lit up; he had been craving it all night.

If it weren't for Erha blocking the door, he would have run to get bones.

"If you get first place, Master will treat you to chicken," Ye Kong said to the two of them with a smile.

The best way to encourage disciples is to give them meat to eat.

"Okay," Xiaobai agreed in one breath, but Erha was frightened.

It's over; I'm going to get beaten.

No, for the sake of my life, I can't let him get first place.

Erha secretly made a decision.

It didn't dare to stop Lin Yaoyao, but it could still stop Xiaobai.

Lin Yaoyao didn't say anything, but silently took out her spiritual sword and stepped onto the arena.

I'm not doing it for the sake of eating chicken; I'm doing it so that I can stay quietly on Carefree Peak.

Xiaobai also rode Erha and rushed to the arena, somewhat impatiently.

He completely forgot the oath he made last night, or the demonic energy that had been resolved.

The seven peak masters looked at the energetic and eager appearance of the Carefree Peak disciples and knew that they were doomed.

Unless a miracle happened, it would be impossible to beat them.

As the sun rose in the east, the Great Elder announced in mid-air:

"The third competition, limited to three incense sticks, begins now!"

As the Great Elder's voice fell, the first incense stick was lit.

Xiaobai encountered a disciple of Pill Peak.

"If I remember correctly, he seems to be your nephew, Yao Feng," Liu Ruqing said, standing aside.

She was quite concerned about Xiaobai's competition.

"Yes, I estimate he won't last even one incense stick's time," Peak Master Yao Zidan of Pill Peak also frankly admitted, preparing to be eliminated.

"Pill Peak disciple Yao Feng, please enlighten me!" Yao Feng cupped his hands in salute, then pinched a fire incantation with his left hand and held a pill in his right hand.

Xiaobai took out his spiritual halberd and said with a faint smile, "To deal with a pill cultivator, three moves are enough."

As everyone knows, pill cultivators are physically weak. Under the same realm, as long as you fight them up close, a set of combos can send them away.

"Three moves? Get to me first!"

After Yao Feng finished speaking, he crushed the poison pill in his hand, and a cloud of poisonous mist instantly rose in the arena.

Xiaobai held his breath and leaped into the air.

Yao Feng cast the flames from his left hand, but Xiaobai dodged easily by shifting his position in the air.

"Too slow," Xiaobai shook his head, constantly changing his position in the air.

Yao Feng didn't dare to stop; once he stopped, he might be sent away by Xiaobai in one move.

Just then, Erha made a key appearance.

Erha exerted force with its limbs, leaped up, jumped towards Xiaobai, bit Xiaobai's hind leg, and fixed Xiaobai's shifting body.

"Er Gouzi, stop pulling my leg!" Xiaobai hurriedly shouted.

Yao Feng seized the opportunity and cast a huge fireball, which was very fast.

Just as Xiaobai was about to dodge, his leg was tightly bitten by Erha.

"It's over."

The spiritual halberd in Xiaobai's hand fell, and the fireball instantly struck.

Bang!

Xiaobai and Erha were blasted away by the fireball.

Taking advantage of Erha's loosening of its mouth, Xiaobai hurriedly used his movement technique to stabilize his body and fell to the edge of the arena.

"That was close; I was almost harmed by Er Gouzi," Xiaobai patted his chest; the clothes on his body were burned by the fireball.

Just as Xiaobai was about to attack, Erha suddenly appeared behind Xiaobai, biting Xiaobai's leg and dragging him off the arena while Xiaobai wasn't paying attention.

"Carefree Peak versus Pill Peak, Pill Peak wins!" The Great Elder announced in the air.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned.

"What's going on? The dog you raised actually pulled your leg at a critical moment?"

"This is too amazing! It's the first time I've seen a dog that pits its owner."

"Could it be that Pill Peak drugged it? When fighting Qin Shou yesterday, that dog was quite powerful; today it's been pulling the leg like it has a grudge."

The disciples were discussing, wondering if they had seen it wrong.

"Could it be that Erha had a temporary attack?" Ye Kong supported his forehead with one hand and took out the Heaven-Opening Hammer.

Erha's intelligence is not high, and it often gets confused.

When Ye Kong took it in before, it was quite normal; he didn't expect it to get confused at a critical moment.

He had to enlighten it properly.

Xiaobai stood up from the arena. At this moment, he was disheveled, and most of the clothes on his body were burned away, all black.

"Erha, I'm going to stew you today!"

Xiaobai carried his spiritual halberd and struck towards Erha.

Erha ran away, and Xiaobai chased after it with his bare butt, running all the way back to Carefree Peak.

"Xiaobai, you're exposed!" Ye Kong shouted, and Liu Ruqing quietly disappeared in place.
