“The people of Blood sea as well as the respected clans of this Demon continent! We welcome you all!” A referee made an announcement as he attracted everyone attention.
“As everyone knows! We are finally able to live freely with our former glory and freedom. To make this prosper in the future, we all need a qualified Leader! I shall now announce the candidates, the one who will lead the Demon race to future glory will be among these three” the announcer shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Hiu Jing! Have you seen young Lord?” Jin Yao asked her, as he has not seen Tian Lee still now. “He is sitting over there, my lord” Hiu Jing said as she pointed towards the seats, where the common people were sitting.
“Why didn’t you arrange a separate seat for the young Lord?” Jin Yao voice contained a tint of anger. Tian Lee was an unknown existence, who had unimaginable power. But more than that, he was the one who took care of his beloved granddaughter. He gave the whole demon race, a second chance to prosper. To think such a being was just seated among the people and whereas he was seated in a gallery.
“The young Lord said he was fine sitting there, even though I compelled him, he rejected” Hiu Jing replied. Hearing this Jin Yao sighed, he did not want anyone to disrespect Tian Lee, as it will only cause a greater calamity to the Demon race. Just as he was thinking, the candidates arrived to the arena.
“The first competitor, Young master Cong Su! The young man who is a reason for many young maidens love fever, not just handsome but also a strong warrior who could face hundreds in the battlefield.a young monarch level expert!” As the referee announced a young man wearing a red colored robe stepped in the arena. The nobles who were all in the Old Su faction gave an overwhelming cheer.
“The next competitor, Lady Eu of the Niyao clan! The beauty with fearsome strength and also the heartthrob for many young men in the Blood sea” following the announcement, a seductive young woman, arrived at the fighting arena. The nobles who were supporting the Niyao faction cheered for her.
“And the last and the final competitor, Princess Yan Yao! The heir of the former royal family!” The announcer kept it short without adding anything. As Yoshi stepped on the arena, silence prevailed. The common people were scared of the Nobels, even though they wanted to support their Princess. They all remained silent.
“Hahaha! Seems the former royal family has lost all its power” a Nobel of Old Su faction shouted. As many of the Nobel laughed along with him. Even though they were at the presence of Jin Yao. “Please don’t take it to your heart my Lord! The young ones does not know about your greatness” Old Su, who was sitting just beneath Jin Yao said in a apological manner.
But deep down he was delighted. “After all this years, when a right chance appeared in front of me, do you think i will leave it just like that” Old Su mumbled. He knew how the supporter of Jin Yao were either killed or ripped of from their position, when Yaojing came to rule.
“Even if you were a great leader in past, you can always be replaced” Old Su looked at Yoshi with a mocking smile.
Just then a voice, which shook the whole arena was heard. “Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!” Hearing this the people, immediately turned towards the direction. They saw a young man and a middle aged man cheering. The middle aged man was waving a flag in which the name of Yoshi was written. While the young man too shouted along with him.
Seeing this the common people who were sitting beside them started cheering too. Soon the whole arena erupted with chants for Yoshi.
Old Su frowned as he heard the chants, not only him. But also thr supporters of both Su clan and Niyao clan felt unhappy.
“Get me information about those two immediately!’ Old Su ordered a servant beside him. ” Tch! Spoiling my plans” he murmured.
Even Jin Yao and Hiu Jing were surprised by the strong support. “Even without a crown, he was always their king” even Jin Yao did not know, just how many people rejoiced when they heard that he was taking the throne again. But due to political truffle, the decision was changed.
The crowd settled down. As the referee stated the rules before the fight. It was the last man standing fight, the competitor were forbidden from causing a fatal injury or death to the opponents. The trial finally began.
Both Cong and Eu stared at Yoshi with a mocking glance. They looked at her as if she was not even worthy to stand where they were. “A maid who served a human huh! Not bad, I will hire you as my maid after I become the Empress of the Demon race” Eu taunted Yoshi. But she did not any sign of anger.
“Hmph! The one who abandoned their race just to save their lives, are now back to claim the throne! How shameful!” The words were direct hit on the Yao family. Even Jin Yao frowned hearing this.
“Lord Jin! Please don’t take the words of my daughter to heart” a middle aged woman, who was the Matriarch of Niyao clan as well as the mother of Eu said. Jin Yao didn’t even bother replying to her.
Looking at that, the women were annoyed but she did not show it.”Hmph! Act arrogant all you want, but everything will change today” she thought as she sat on her seat.
Seeing Yoshi still remaining calm made Eu furious. “A trash like you must have served human trash too” the words went off limit. Just when Eu was trying to see Yoshi’s reaction. A small hand arrived in front of her face. The knuckles of Yoshi smashed Eu face as it sent her flying.
Eu crashed outside the ring. As she lied their unconsciously. The whole arena went silent, as the sudden cheer of the people started filling the whole arena. The nobles were stunned, as many were left flabbergasted.
“No one talks bad about my young master!” Yoshi spoke as she stared at her next opponent. As Eu was taken away. The Niyao clan members all paled as they saw Yoshi. “Monster!” They all thought.
Cong, who was observing Yoshi, smiled. “You aren’t half bad!’ He said as he drew his saber. A saber intent filled the whole arena. ” Such a strong saber intent! Young master Cong is a peerless genius!” Someone among the Old Su faction shouted.
“Hahaha! If Lady Eu wasn’t careless, she wouldn’t have lost, Princess Yan Yao was lucky” someone mocked Yoshi, as they said her win was because of luck.
But the next moment their mouths were shut right. As Yoshi drew a spear, which looked gigantic to her height. Everyone in the arena was able to recognize the spear, the moment it came out.
“Blood Spear!” Old Su eyes went wide open. The weapon which made history along with Jin Yao. “How is this possible! It took thirty years to master that weapon even for the old best*rd! How can she master it” but it did not stop there.
A huge amount of spear intent covered the surrounding. As Yoshi took the stance. She immediately disappeared from the place, where she was standing. Even Cong was surprised, as he was not able to detect her presence.
“There she is!” Cong blocked Yoshi’s spear attack, as she appeared from above. “Clack!” The sparks of weapon were seen as both retreated to their own place.
Even Cong was stunned by the power of Yoshi. The moment she started attacking, the naive girl look she gave was gone without a trace. Instead, she was a like a ferocious lioness.
The crowd went nuts as they watched the battle. The nobles of Old Su faction went pale in fear. Yoshi was just too ferocious for them. They never thought she would fight like that. Jin Yao and Hiu Jing were grinning from ear to ear.
While Old Su was still calm. “I never thought this little devil will be this strong, but our Su clan isn’t famous for strength” he whispered as he looked at his grandson. Cong who was being forced to a corner suddenly gave an outburst of energy, as he transformed into his demon form.
“You are worthy for me to transform!” Cong roared as he charged towards Yoshi. Yoshi blocked his saber with her spear. But Cong immediately diverted his saber towards Yoshi’s trunk. Yoshi was able to escape the slash but with a injury.
“As young master said, I don’t have much experience” she was displeased. Tian eyes frowned the moment, he saw Cong attack connecting. “Young master! They are using such underhand method” Cheng’s voice resounded in his mind. “I know! But I made a promise that I won’t interrupt her fight!” Tian was clearly annoyed. “Using poison huh!” Tian Looked at Old Su who was grinning.
“Hahaha! Our clan specializes in Poison not in combat” he was delighted. “Soon she will be paralyzed by the effect!”.
Yoshi who received an injury from the saber. Felt her body becoming hot, as she felt the sensation of her limbs become dull. ” Hahaha! Are you feeling numb?” Saying that Cong charged at Yoshi again. The moments of Yoshi became sluggish as Cong attacks started connecting.
Yoshi who was trying to block all the attacks was exhausted as she started to lose her control over her body. ” Hahaha! You are going down soon! You B*tch” Cong started his aggressive attack. As it become difficult for Yoshi to withstand.
“Huff…Huff” the breathing of Yoshi was rapid. “Young master! I lied! I lied to you! I did not want to be strong! I never did, all i wanted was to stay beside you, walk beside you, for that i needed to prove you, that I won’t be a burden…. But now I” as she slowly lost consciousness. She collapsed on the ground.
The whole arena went silent whereas the Old Su faction all shouted and cheered. “The new Emperor of Blood sea! Cong Su!” They all were delighted.
“Hahaha! The poison from our clan can only healed by our own blood, soon she will die!” Old Su laughed as he thought about it. Their clan had the power to create an unique poison which had the effect to paralyse the enemy and kill them later, as if it was natural. They used it with their weapon.
This was kept as a secret in their clan. So the outsiders won’t know about it. “The Yao family is no more!” Old Su whispered.
Jin Yao and Hiu Jing were ready to rush. But to only see Tian was there carrying Yoshi out of the arena. “Who are you?” Even Cong was unable to detect the arrival of Tian. But Tian Lee did not spoke a word, as he carried Yoshi in his arms. He exited the arena with Kitty.
Following him Jin Yao as well Hiu Jing rushed out. The Old Su faction were celebrating as they didn’t even mind what was happening.
A tense mood was in the atmosphere. As a strong killing intent started spreading out. “Cheng! Bring those big lizards” Tian Lee said as he walked. “Yes Young master!” Cheng’s voice resounded in his mind. “Big Lizards?” The words confused the remaining three.
