Chapter 197
There was a thirty feet high platform near the stone-tablet . The Head of the Black Demon Sect and an elder of the Xian Tian realm sat on the platform to watch the last few matches of the competition .




The Head of the Black Demon Sect looked towards the elder of the Xian Tian realm and sighed .
There used to be more than twenty Xian Tian elders in the Black Demon Sect . But, four or five of them had died while fighting with the barbarian race on the frontier . Now, only less than twenty of them were left .
However, the barbarian war hadn’t been completely useless .
The junior disciples of the Sect had gathered at the place . They were huge in number even though their number was comparatively lower than that of before the war . Moreover, a huge progress had been made in their cultivations after the experience of several years of war .
And, this point had been confirmed in the competition .
Suddenly, the Head of the Black Demon Sect looked on his side, and saw that Jin Xiao Chai looked a little absent-minded .
"Xiao Chai, why do you look as if you don’t have any spirit these days?" the Head of the Black Demon Sect asked .
"It’s nothing . It’s just a random thought . Thank you for your concern, Head," Jin Xiao Chai turned her beautiful eyes with a splendid smile on her face, and replied in a soft tone .
The Head’s grizzled eyebrows moved as he looked away from her . After that, he stood-up and took two steps forward .
The disciples in the crowd near the ring became quiet as soon as they saw this . Then, they became ready to listen to the instructions of the Head of the Sect .
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second-grade disciples have been ranked now . Today is the last day of the annual competition . So, the top-ten-ranked disciples among the second-grade disciples will challenge the first-grade disciples . After that, the first-grade disciples will challenge each other… and the top-ten disciples amongst them will be determined . I believe that everyone knows the process already . So, I’ll not give unnecessary details," the voice of the Head of the Black Demon Sect wasn’t too loud . But, it still reached the ears of the people standing at the rear .
"I want to announce one more thing before starting the competition," the Head of the Black Demon Sect changed the topic of discussion and said .
Bai Shi, Xiao Ming and the other people stood near the ring; their bodies shook as they heard this . They moved their eyes towards Shi Mu, and saw that Shi Mu was in a calm state; there hadn’t been the slightest change in his expressions . They couldn’t help but admire his calm attitude .
"Disciple Shi Mu went to the war against the barbarian race… and went to the barbarians’ wasteland all alone . Moreover, he helped our Union to have peace-talks… and made the barbarians sign an agreement to form alliance with the human race . He has provided a great service to the Union . " The Head of the Black Demon Sect looked towards Shi Mu, who was standing among the audience .
All the disciples were shocked as they heard this . They all moved their eyes towards Shi Mu . Even the top ten first-grade disciples shifted their gazes to look at him .
Shi Mu’s face was expressionless . He didn’t react to the attention of everyone present in his surroundings .
"Shi Mu returned yesterday… and missed the chance to participate in the competition because of this . So, the elders and I’ve decided that we would make an exception… and give him one more opportunity . Before we proceed with the annual competition… I would let him choose anyone from the second-grade disciples to challenge . He would take his opponent’s position of he wins," the Head of the Black Demon Sect said in one breath .




Everyone started to discuss among themselves as they heard this . But, nobody objected to the Head’s words .
"Well, now that you have no objection… Brother Zhen, it’s your turn," the Head of the Black Demon Sect said to an old man standing next to him; he was dressed in a grey robe with a goat-beard . He then went over to his seat and sat down .
The gray-robed old man nodded . His figure flashed like a grey light as he landed on the ring .
"Yesterday, the Head of the Sect sent a man to ask Shi Mu about this offer . Shi Mu has accepted the decision . He has decided to challenge the disciple having the first place among the second-grade disciples – Duan Qian Li," the grey-robed old man turned towards the audience, and declared in a clear voice .
‘Bang!’
The disciples among the audience exploded like a boiling pot . Duan Qian Li had amazed everyone with a single feat in the competition, and had won the first position among the second-grade disciples on the previous day . Anyone could see that he was extraordinarily valiant . But, Shi Mu had challenged him .
"Shi Mu and Duan Qian Li, both of you come into the ring . " The old gray-robed man paused for a while . He then said .
Shi Mu walked to the ring as he heard this announcement . The disciples in the surroundings got out of his way as they saw him coming .
He hadn’t brought his black blade as its hilt was slightly damaged . Instead, he climbed to the ring with the meteoric hammer in his hand .
"What kind of a weapon is this? It seems from its appearance… is it the meteoric hammer?"
Bai Shi and others were startled as they saw the meteoric hammer in Shi Mu’s hand .
They all knew that Shi Mu was an expert in using blades . But, they had never seen him using this kind of a weapon .
Many other disciples standing outside the ring stared blankly, and issued a roar of laughter .
Shi Mu’s meteoric hammer looked too simple and crude . Its model looked extremely ugly .
It couldn’t even be called a meteoric hammer in the true sense . It seemed as if iron chains had been tied to a piece of stone .
Everyone looked towards the chains tied to the meteoric hammer . But, they were made of ordinary steel . So, it was easy to chop them off even though they were extremely thick .
Shi Mu was going to participate in the annual competition with this simple and crude weapon . It was simply ridiculous .




The Head and other elders of the Black Demon Sect also exposed traces of amazement on their faces . Jin Xiao Chai looked towards Shi Mu’s feet .
His feet weren’t very wide, but they sunk with each of his steps .
There was amazement in Jin Xiao Chai’s eyes also . The corners of her mouth curled-up like an arc .

A shadow of a thin and tall man also flashed on the opposite side of the ring as soon as Shi Mu climbed over . It was none other than Duan Qian Li .
Everyone issued bursts of exclamation in admiration . But, the strengths of the disciples in the audience was too weak to see his shadow .
"Brother Mo, what do you think? Who would win?" Qian Xiong touched his fat belly, and asked a silver-haired youth standing beside him .
"This Shi Mu’s cultivation has already reached the consummate-level of the Hou Tian realm . But, his weapon looks quite heavy . He must’ve cultivated his spirit powers also . That Duan Qian Li has an appreciable speed . Both the men have their own qualities in martial arts . But, Duan Qian Li is a famous spirit-grade magician . So, his chances of winning are more than Shi Mu’s," Mo Ning said with some hesitation .
"Brother Mo has sharp vision . You’ve analyzed all this in a single glance," Qian Xiong spoke with a loud laughter . He seemed to acknowledge Mo Ning’s opinion .
Bai Shui Xiu stood on his side, but she didn’t say anything . However, a sneering expression could be seen on her face .
"What’s wrong? Does Sister Bai think that I’m wrong?" Mo Ning sensed the expression of Bai Shui Xiu . He then said in a cold tone .
"How can this girl dare to think like that? No matter who wins – Shi Mu or Duan Qian Li… he’ll certainly challenge us after that . So, it would be better if we carefully examined their strengths instead of guessing the outcome of the match between these two . We won’t have to be ashamed in front of everyone that way," Bai Shui Xiu replied in a sarcastic tone .
"Haha… these two have just reached the consummate-level in martial arts . They’re no threat to us . Does Sister Bai think so highly of them?" Mo Ning laughed and said .
Bai Shui Xiu gave cold expressions . She turned over, and stopped paying attention to the two of them .
Qian Xiong touched his belly, and abstained from speaking any further .
A ray of light flashed in Mo Ning’s eyes . But, he also kept his mouth shut .
Shi Mu looked at the tall and thin man in front of him and smiled .
Duan Qian Li thought of showing-off . After all, his speed was extremely fast .




"Shi Mu, I’ll make you regret this decision . " Duan Qian Li sized Shi Mu up and down with a cold and viper-like look . He then said in a cold voice .
"Oh… Let’s wait and see," Shi Mu replied with an expressionless face .
An angry look flashed in Duan Qian Li’s eyes . He waved his hand, and a long and slender sword appeared in his hand . That sword was emitting a faint-green light . Anyone could tell that it was a high-level magic tool .
"You dared to come in the ring with this kind of a weapon . You’re acting in a reckless manner," Duan Qian Li looked towards the meteoric hammer in Shi Mu’s hand, and spoke in mockery .
"Thank you so much for your concern," Shi Mu laughed and replied .
Then, a strange awn swept across his eyes . He started to shake his iron chains softly .
The grey-robed old man recited an incantation and waved his hand . The four black pillars near the ring started to emit white light, and quickly got interlinked together . Then, they formed a white transparent boundary around the ring .
"The competition begins . . . " the grey-robed old man shouted and moved his body backwards .
Duan Qian Li looked in front of him with a dull expression as if he had absolute control over Shi Mu . Suddenly, an intense hatred appeared in his heart towards Shi Mu .
He shouted loudly . Then, a green light flashed and covered his entire body with a layer of faint-green light . It was the Body Lifting Technique .
Duan Qian Li’s shadow flashed . Then, his movements extended to its maximum speed, and he transformed into yellow shadows . He then rushed towards Shi Mu .
The long green sword in his hand released a green light . Suddenly, ten or more thick sword-shadows went drizzling towards Shi Mu .
Duan Qian Li made a strange gesture with his other hand at the same time . He then waved it heavily towards Shi Mu .
Five green blade-winds appeared, and went rotating towards Shi Mu .
Duan Qian Li exposed a proud smile on his face . Shi Mu could only retreat or try to defend himself in order to confront so many attacks at once .
Duan Qian Li had planned to put all of his strategies to use in this manner . He wanted to defeat Shi Mu as early as possible .
Duan Qian Li looked towards Shi Mu . He wanted to take a look at Shi Mu’s frightened face . But, he saw that Shi Mu’s face revealed tranquil expressions; he looked calm and composed .
Duan Qian Li’s heart thumped as he felt that there was something wrong . Suddenly, Shi Mu shouted, and shook his arm . Then, his real Qi rushed out from his right arm .
He then swung the meteoric hammer in his hand; the hammer-head carried a fierce gale force –as if it was a meteor . It then got knocked against the sword-shadows and the blade-winds .
‘Bang! Bang!’ A couple of loud sounds echoed .
The sword-shadows and the blade-winds shattered like eggs before the hammer-head .
Duan Qian Li couldn’t even get any time to react . Suddenly, he found a shadow flashing in front of his body . The meteoric hammer had almost reached his body in the blink of an eye .
Duan Qian Li felt shocked; it was too late to dodge the attack . So, he promptly moved his hands to form a strange gesture, and spit out something from his mouth .
Then, he shouted .
Suddenly, a green drizzling wind-shield appeared in front of his body . Then, small tornados began to rise-up on its surface .
The wind-shield had appeared in a flash . The meteoric hammer ferociously bombarded on the wind-shield .
A ‘chi… chi’ sound rang out in the air .
The wind-shield and the tornados broke down with a loud rumble as soon as they were hit by the hammer .
The momentum of the meteoric hammer was unstoppable . It went bombarding towards Duan Qian Li’s chest .
Duan Qian Li’s complexion changed . His mouth issued wild shouts of despair .
It was a crucial junction of life and death . Suddenly, a grey light was shot by one side . Then, a grey-light shield was formed in front of Duan Qian Li’s chest .
‘Bang!’ A stuffy sound echoed .
The meteoric hammer and the grey-light shield collided . Then, several light rays flashed from the shield in a violent manner . But, they got shattered in a span of a breath’s time . After that, the meteoric hammer hit heavily against Duan Qian Li’s chest .
The meteoric hammer had smashed two shields in succession . So, its formidable power had been reduced . Blood started to spurt out of Duan Qian Li’s mouth . Then, sounds of cracking of unknown number of chest-bones were heard .
Duan Qian Li’s body was sent out flying upside down – like a broken sack . It got knocked against the boundary of the ring, and fell to the ground .
