C331 Endless Slaughter!(2)

"This guy is really looking to make enemies with everyone! What should we do, Big Brother?" Although Fu Chuan hadn't left, he was clearly intimidated by Moh Lunhui. He held the jade plate tightly, ready to bolt at the first sign of trouble.

"Let's wait and see. If things get out of hand, you all should retreat first. This guy must have a reason for what he's doing," Woo Zhengyang advised, though he was just as surprised by Moh Lunhui's actions.

Despite having two fingers on his right hand broken, Moh Lunhui's left hand was perfectly fine. Many people naturally favor their right hand, but most martial arts can be executed with the left hand as well. Moh Lunhui's "Reincarnation Finger" technique focuses on soul attacks, which don't require much strength or speed, making the difference between using the left or right hand negligible.

However, Moh Lunhui hadn't used the Reincarnation Finger even once; instead, he wielded his longsword. His swordplay was swift and unusual, yet Woo Zhengyang noticed that it didn't involve any soul attacks.

If Moh Lunhui's sole intention was to kill, the Reincarnation Finger, which could disturb a person's mind, would be far more effective than his swordplay. Those affected by a soul attack might not even manage to throw their jade plate.

Clearly, Moh Lunhui's intentions were more complex than just killing.

Reflecting on what Moh Lunhui had just said to him, Woo Zhengyang had a feeling that Moh's actions might have something to do with their upcoming battle. However, no matter how many times Woo observed, he couldn't pinpoint any clues.

Of course, this was partly due to the combat abilities of those around him. Most were either too scared to think straight or on the verge of tears. They barely had the strength to resist, let alone fight back.

"Even though I don't know what that guy is up to, my eyes tell me he's changed somehow. If you face him, be careful," Qian Banruo warned.

Woo Zhengyang nodded silently. Qian Banruo's unique eyes, which even Moh Lunhui valued, could see things others couldn't, so it made sense for her to notice something different.

While Woo Zhengyang didn't possess Qian Banruo's extraordinary vision, his senses were sharp. He, too, felt that the Moh Lunhui holding a longsword now seemed like a different person compared to before.

Even when Woo had broken his fingers, Moh's demeanor only shifted from that of a simple young man to an angry one. But now, with the sword in hand, Moh Lunhui resembled an emotionless killing machine.

"I challenge the thirty-sixth rank!" Moh Lunhui's chilling voice echoed again as he counted the remaining participants.

At this moment, excluding Moh Lunhui, there were still thirty-five Heavenly Martial Seeds on the island. Although these thirty-five Seeds hadn't directly discarded their badges and left, most of them, like Fu Chuan, were holding their badges, ready to give up at any moment. Even those ranked in the top ten were in the same boat.

Initially, these individuals hadn't expected to make it into the top ten, so they were somewhat pleased, despite feeling a pang of sadness for the fallen talents. However, on second thought, those competitors had perished at the hands of Moh Lunhui, which conveniently paved the way for their own ambitions to break into the top ten. In a way, many felt a subtle gratitude toward Moh Lunhui.

Now, they just hoped Moh Lunhui wouldn't call on them. Although the top ten were protected by certain rules, these rules only stated that in the case of surrender or defeat, the badges would be exchanged. If Moh Lunhui were to kill them with a single strike, their jade plates would still be absorbed by him. While such an event had never occurred in previous Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Associations, they had no doubt it could happen this time.

So when Moh Lunhui called out the thirty-sixth name, everyone knew another person was about to abandon their jade plate and leave. The person ranked thirty-fifth was even prepared to do the same. However, this time, no one left. A flash of light later, a tall, burly man appeared on the stage.

"Who is that?"

"What's going on? Is this guy not afraid of death?"

"Could he be another hidden expert?"

While everyone was puzzled, the tall, burly man quickly spoke up, "Brother Mo, I'm the fifth-ranked inner disciple of the Heavenly Martial Academy!"

Hearing his words, the crowd suddenly understood. It turned out he was an inner disciple of the Heavenly Martial Academy, and given his rank, he must have encountered Moh Lunhui at the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association.

Everyone knew quite a bit about Moh Lunhui. Despite the deadly curse that seemed to follow him, not all of his opponents died. Some managed to survive a direct hit, and many of those were disciples from the Heavenly Martial Academy.

According to the crowd's observations, Moh Lunhui followed two rules: one-strike kills, never attacking a second time, and only injuring, not killing, the Academy's disciples.

Now, everyone understood the burly man's confidence. He was willing to take a gamble. If he guessed right, he might not only avoid injury but also secure a spot in the top ten of the tournament.

Among the remaining thirty or so participants, most were from the Academy, and many shared the same hope as the burly man. However, their optimistic dreams were soon shattered...
