The Blood King - Chapter 89 Fight!
Levi watched Noah silently.
He had yet again witnessed a side of this person that he had never seen before.
Noah looked at the man with a cold gaze, as if his life was already his for the taking.
“…” He silently watched his opponent, calculating the reach of the club, as well as how long it would take to swing it.
In just a few seconds, he carefully disected the man’s reach.
Seeing that Noah was not coming, the man attacked.
Boom!
He swung his club towards Noah, but before it could hit, Noah ducked, and stepped to the side, under the club.
” …” Noah silently gathered qi around his fist, and punched right below the mans arm.
boom!
A boom resounded, as the man stumbled to the side while coughing.
Noah stood still, without making a sound, his head down.
“!!!” He then felt that something wasn’t right, and looked up, only to see the man towering over him, with his club raised over his head, in both arms.
” Crap!” Noah hurriedly tried to open some space, but he forgot.
He was in a small circular pit.
As his back touched the wall, he looked back.
‘ Since i can’t get away, i just have to defend!’ He thought, as he brought his forearms before his chest and crossed them.
His heart beat wildly, as he watched the club being lowered, but something made his eyes widen.
As the club was falling, a red qi appeared at the tip, causing his face to pale.
This qi was not much, but just this brought him to a realization.
He shouldn’t have tried to block, but instead tried to evade the attack.
But as the club was already in front of him, he could only grit his teeth, and pour out all of his qi to defend himself.
BOOOM!!
The dome trembled from the strike, as the pit was blocked out by dust.
” Heuk!! cough! cough! cough!” The sound of someone coughing blood rang out relentlessly.
The dust cleared, to reveal Noah standing between a large crack of the pit.
After seeing the qi, he had sent qi to protect his vitals, along with his back.
He knew that taking that hit would slam him into the wall, so he could only do this.
The blood he spat out had bits and pices of small, chuncky, pink flesh.
” A…fleshly cultivator…” Noah said, as he gasped for air.
This behemoth of a man was a fleshly cultivator.
Someone who used qi to try to make their bodies indestructible.
He realized this from just the qi, because he had once read somehere that fleshly cultivators could only store a small amount of qi, and their control over it was not that good either.
Looking down at his trembling, now red arms, he could only sigh.
“…” He gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain, as he straightened his hunched back.
” Oooh! This is getting good!”
” Who do you think will win?! Which of the slaves do the think the winner will ask for?”
” Hmm, humph! Obviously bart will win! He isn’t known as the skull crusher for nothing!”
” Oh, if it’s bart, then he might choose an elixir again! He’s a fleshly cultivator who needs a lot of external help, after all!”
” I heard that he likes, uh-”
” Ahahah, who cares what he likes?! That’s his business! I just want to see some blood, without having to draw it myself!”
The 20 or so spectators talked to each other.
‘…..Sigh, this will make my cultivation drop, making it extremely hard for me to reach this level again, but…” Noah opened his eyes, and looked up towards the the cluster of green cages.
” But….What does that matter?” He chuckled softly.
His face broke into a smile, as his eyes became slits.
When he opened his eyes, there was a glowing, light blue ring around his iris’, as a storm of qi escaped his body.
” Qi sacrifice.” Noah spoke softly, as he gently gazed up towards the cages.
” I will get you guys away from here soon.” He said, before his gaze shifted.
Boom!
No one saw when he moved, but, after Noah shot out, the dome quaked, even more so than when the skull crusher Bart attacked him.

After the dust settled, Bart’s huge body was burried in the wall.
It looked like he was sitting in a reclining position, as he lay unmoving.
Some of the spectators fell onto their backsides, as his body was so large that his upper body reached where they stood.
The sound of rocks dropping rang out, as Bart lifted himself up, making the large dent in his chest resembling a fist to become visible to all.
” What?!”
” He was actually able to hurt Bart?!”
The spectators shouted out in disbelief.
“…..Did i underestimate him again?” Noah mumbled to himself.
He had indeed underestimated Bart the first time.
But he thought that since he was using qi sacrifice, that he wouldn’t have to use that much power.
He also didn’t want to exert himself more than necessary.
” You, are strong! You deserve to be killed with my hands!” Bart dropped the club, as he cloaked both of his fists in his minuscule red ki, his killing intent spreading through the atmosphere.
He was the type of person who lived to fight.
“…” Noah could only smile wryly.
The longer he used this skill, or the more power he squeezed out from using it, the further his level would drop.
When one lost themselves to anger or any other strong emotion, they could unconsiously start burning their qi.
But, he was conciously doing this, with a skill he happened to get his hands on.
He walked and met bart halfway, as the two silently looked at each other.
They then sprang into action, as both of them sent out devastating punches.
Crackle!
The fists clashed, as qi rippled out with the shockwaves, crackling like lightning.
The spectators, although also martial artists, stepped back a little to avoid getting hit.
” Don’t let that qi touch you, unless you want to die!”
Someone shouted.
As soon as he said this, a large streak of qi flew over someone’s head, before slamming into the wall behind them.
A large dent was left, as charred black dust slowly flowed out.
Levi was curious as to what would happen, but after seeing that, he also stepped back.
Blood evergy rose from his body just in case.
After the clash, the two both retracted their fists, only to punch out again.
The eariler scene played out again, only, on a much bigger scale.
Their arms were moving at a speed that was hard for the eyes to follow.
” Oof!” The air was knocked from Noah’s lungs, as bart kicked his side with his muscular leg.
Before he could steady himself, bart had already launched another punch at his face.
” Tch!” At this moment, Noah clicked his tongue, as he waited for the incoming fist.
As it reached dangerously close, he shifted his falling body.
He slapped out, and using the violent qi coating Bart’s arm, pushed himself a small distance away, before steadying himself.
Because he touched the qi with his bare hand, small cuts lined his palm.
Without wasting any time, Noah shot out.
He lifted his leg, as he kicked Bart’s unguarded side, causing him to stumble slightly.
Afterwards, he began bombarding Bart with attacks.
‘ If i try to conserve my power, and this fight get’s drawn out because this guy keeps getting back up, my level might drop further than if i were to go all out one time…..Since that is the case!’ Noah thought, as he steeled himself.
He forgot about all of the cuts on his body.
He forgot about the bones peaking out from his bloodied knuckles.
He himself didn’t even notice it, but he had a large grin on his face.
” Hahahah! You finally stopped holding back!” Ignoring the blood flowing from his mouth, bard laughed loudly.
He tightened his metal like muscles, as he kept his large body from falling.
He punched out heavily, to which Noah responded with a kick.
A wave of air and qi was swept back from Noah’s leg, as it pushed some of the spectators back, while some of their cloths were torn slightly.
His leg knocked Bart’s arm to the side, and he used the rebound to land a kick on the side his face, sending Bart stumbling back.
” Kek!” Bart tried to steady himself, as dizzyness overwhelmed him.
His body had as much wounds as Noah’s, but he still stood without a problem.
But a blow to the head was different.
Noah saw Bart trying to steady himself, but did not give him the chance.
He stepped hard on the ground, causing it to crack beneath his weight, before shooting out, causing qi to explode out.
Crack!
” Puft!” Bart spat out a mouthful of blood, as Noah’s ruthless punch imbedded his fist deep in Bart’s chest.
Boom!
Bart’s body dropped to the ground, his breathing haggard.
He tried to raise his arms, but an electrifying pain ran through his body everytime.
” Huff! Not yet…” Noah panted, a he lifted his fist again, covered in a maelstrom of qi.
He didn’t forget what he told Levi when they first met.
‘ You should never leave potential risks alive.’
Boom!
His fist landed on Bart’s chest once again, as the broken pieces of rock trembled from the force.
Boom! Crack!
Noah punched again.
The sound of something slapping against liquid rang out, as blood poured from Bart’s chest, and covered Noah’s fist.
Where Noah punched, Bart’s armor like skin was broken through.
After that, killing him was much easier.
Only when bart was no longer breathing, did Noah slowly get up, his legs shaking as his muscles protested.
” Alright, give me back my friends now. Or does anyone else have anything to say?” His eyelids looked heavy, as he swept his gaze across the people.
” Since no one has a-”
Thump!
A large rock hit noah at the back of his head.
” Who the fuck- aghhhhhh!” Before he could finish his scentence, he began screeming.
His blood curdling screem startled everyone, as they looked at him cautiously.
Smoke rose from Noah’s body as he flailed around, his eyes rolling back as the smell of burnt flesh wafted through the air.
“…” Levi watched this silently.
He knew Noah did something to increase his strength.
But now he knew two other things.
One, the increase in strength was only temporary.
And two, when the effects wore off, the repercussions were great.
” Ahhhhhh! ahhh!” Noah’s body convulsed from the pain, as he fell onto his back.
” Ahh ahh, haa haa haa…” He panted.
After a few minutes of enduring the excruciating pain, the glowing blue ring dissapeared from his eyes, as he opened them.
He slowly started to sit up, as the people spectating looked at him silenly.
” Should we…..”
” Yes, we should kill him…”
” He killed someone from our desolate village, he has to die…”
” He can’t fight back, so we can slowly toy him to death..”
They began talking in hushed voices.
” There is still this one here, you know. He might not let you kill that one.” The bald man spoke, causing the spectators’ attention to turn to Levi.
Levi looked coldly at the bald man.
In just a few words, he had trown him to the wolves.
Puft!
‘ Is this how this works?’ Levi thought silently, as the darkness spread from his fingernails, down his fingers, and stopped at his wrists.
His hands had turned completly black, while doubling in length.
His fingers now looked more like hellion spider legs.
” Mental energy…”
” What is happening to his hands…”
” Some kind of mental energy skill?”
” Fool, i don’t know of any mental energy skill that does that!”
” You are talking like you are really knowledgeable!?”
The murmering continued, as blood energy rose from Levi’s body.
” Why are you waiting for him to prepare?! Are you guys retarded?!” The bald man shouted, as veins bulged on his head.
” Kill this one first!”
” The one in the pit is weak, we can kill him later!”
” Get him!”
Levi formed the blood gate with the least amount of blood energy he needed, while the unused blood energy just circled him silently.
Although he was surrounded by people who were rushing to kill him, he felt calm for some reason.
Boom!
3 explosions rippled out, as blood energy exploded from Levi’s body, his blood energy level rising.
No one knew when he absorbed Bart’s blood, but Levi found something amazing.
” Fleshly cultivators are…a great nourishment!” He said, as the white of his eyes became red.
Instead of losing control this time though, he was calm.
” Maybe this state just amplifies whatever emotion i am feeling at the time? Even if i don’t notice said emotion…” He mumbled softly.
” Haah!” The people who rushed to Levi with their swords, knifes and fists finnaly arived, but when they attacked, they found a spiraling blood red forcefield blocking them.
The blood sheild quickly turned back into blood energy, before sweeping the people back.
” You guys don’t need to rush.” Levi said calmly.
” Your blood will become my strength soon enough.” His voice rang out, as he revealed his chilling intention.
He was planning to kill them all.
