Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 86 86
?Wang Zeming and Wang Ruyue were dumbfounded when they saw Tenku's overly relaxed attitude. Apart from them, Huang Yuxin was also confused when she heard what he said. She didn't know if Tenku was confident in his strength or just overestimated his abilities and underestimated his opponent. But Huang Yuxin felt that the correct answer was the latter.
Wang Ruyue quickly came back to her senses. She had come to arena F with Wang Zeming because she was worried about Tenku and wanted to warn him about the Gu family. But she forgot about it because she was distracted by Huang Yuxin's matter.
"Tenku! Please be careful! They might be stronger than you! So you can't let your guard down!" Wang Ruyue warned Tenku. She knew that Tenku's cultivation base was very high for a boy his age. But Wang Ruyue didn't know how strong she was in battle because cultivation base couldn't determine one's combat power. Wang Ruyue was worried that Tenku didn't have much fighting experience and then underestimated his opponent.
Tenku turned to Wang Ruyue and nodded. He was grateful for her concern, but it wasn't necessary. He had his way of dealing with those participants. Moreover, he was sure that some of them were people who were secretly looking at him with malicious intent.
He could guess who was behind them. If not Wang Minghao, then that person is the Gu family. Tenku intends to beat them black and blue to warn anyone with evil intentions toward him. Of course, he wasn't going to show all of his strength.
"You! Do you understand what I'm saying!?" Wang Ruyue gritted her teeth in annoyance when she saw Tenku's reaction. She thought Tenku would become more alert after hearing her words. But he acted normal as if he didn't listen to her warning. This made Wang Ruyue a little annoyed and worried.
"Ruyue, I understand that you're worried about him. But I'm sure he understands what you mean. So you don't have to be mad at Tenku." Wang Zeming smiled wryly when he saw Wang Ruyue's behavior. He had never seen the girl act like that except for Wang Haotian.
"I'm not mad at him. You should know how the Gu family will react after discovering that Tenku is my grandfather's disciple." Wang Ruyue said seriously.
Wang Zeming's face darkened after he heard those words. He knew how cunning and ruthless the Gu family was because they would do anything to achieve their goals. The Gu family would eliminate anyone who might stand in their way from winning the martial arts competition, and Tenku was one of them.
"We can't do anything about it. We can only believe in Tenku and hope he works miracles." Wang Zeming couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.
If the Gu family wanted to do something terrible to Tenku in the competition, then Wang Zeming couldn't do anything to stop them. Only his grandfather and the elders could do something about it. Wang Zeming felt helpless when he thought about that.
"I hope so. I don't want anything bad to happen to him because my grandpa will be sad." Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku worriedly. Little did she realize that her wish was not only for her grandfather but also for herself. But before Wang Zeming could reply, a voice sounded behind them, making their faces gloomy.
"Are you sure that he can pass the preliminary round?" a handsome man with an arrogant temperament walked up to Wang Ruyue's seat. He is Gu Qingyang. After the match, he quickly came to arena F when he heard that Wang Ruyue was there.
"What are you doing in this place? How did you know I was here? Are you spying on me?" Wang Ruyue looked at Gu Qingyang with disdain.
"I'm not spying but looking after my fiancé. Isn't that a natural thing?" Gu Qingyang smiled widely and sat down on Tenku's seat.
"Who wants to be your fiancé!? Please don't speak carelessly and get out of here quickly because that is Tenku's seat!" Wang Ruyue shouted angrily, and everyone around her heard her voice, but Gu Qingyang didn't care.
"He doesn't need this seat after the match is over. What he needs is a stretcher to get him to the hospital." Gu Qingyang smiled viciously. Wang Zeming, Wang Ruyue, and even Huang Yuxin were shocked after hearing what he said.
"What do you mean by that!?" Wang Ruyue got up from her seat and looked fiercely at Gu Qingyang.
"Wouldn't it be fun if I told you? Wouldn't it be better for you to see it in person than to hear it from my mouth? You better pray that the boy will win and be okay. Even though I know that's impossible." Gu Qingyang looked at the battle arena and said.
"You!" Wang Ruyue wanted to explode with anger after hearing Gu Qingyang's words. Fortunately, Wang Zeming quickly stopped her.
"Stop it, Ruyue. We are prohibited from fighting outside the battle arena. If you do, you will be disqualified. Are you willing to give up the competition because of that?" Wang Zeming warned Wang Ruyue.
"But Tenku…" Wang Ruyue looked worriedly at Tenku. But before she could continue her words, Wang Zeming interrupted her.
"We can only trust him and pray that he will be okay." Wang Zeming tried to calm Wang Ruyue down. Wang Ruyue was silent and didn't answer him right away. But after a while, she finally opened her mouth.
"You are right. I'm sorry for not being able to control my emotions." Wang Ruyue took a deep breath to collect her thoughts.
"Then we should move to another seat. If he continues to follow us, then let's say the first genius of the Gu family was a stalker." Wang Zeming raised his voice so the people around him could hear it. Gu Qingyang's face darkened, and he stared at Wang Zeming with eyes full of killing intent.
"Yeah, you're right. I'd rather move somewhere else than sit next to him." Wang Ruyue nodded, and the two moved to a seat far from Gu Qingyang. Unexpectedly, Huang Yuxin followed them and sat down next to Wang Ruyue. 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
"Yuxin, you…" Wang Ruyue looked at Huang Yuxin in confusion.
"I don't like that person either." Huang Yuxin whispered. She didn't want her words to be overheard by others, especially Gu Qingyang. Even though Huang Yuxin didn't like him, she didn't want trouble with the Gu family.
"Is that so? Then you should sit with us because it's dangerous to get close to the men in this place." Wang Ruyue smiled and invited Huang Yuxin to sit beside her.
After that, their attention returned to Tenku. He chose a spear as his weapon and quickly entered the battle arena.
"Did grandpa teach him the spear art?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku curiously when she saw him taking a spear as a weapon.
The other participants immediately entered the battle arena after picking up their weapons. They stood in their respective positions and formed a circle. But unlike the previous match, they surrounded Tenku in the middle like he was prey.
"What happened?"
"Why are they surrounding the Japanese?"
The cultivators watching the match were confused when they saw the actions of the participants in the battle arena. But Wang Ruyue and Wang Zeming quickly found the reason, and their faces changed.
"Gu Qingyang!" Wang Ruyue stood up from her seat and shouted at Gu Qingyang.
"Aren't you ashamed to use such underhanded means!?" Wang Ruyue said angrily. When she saw the cultivators surrounding Tenku in the battle arena, she knew that they were teaming up against him, and the one commanding them must be Gu Qingyang. Wang Ruyue couldn't think of anyone else who could do that besides him.
"Hmm? What do you mean by that? I don't understand at all." Gu Qingyang smiled playfully and pretended not to know what Wang Ruyue meant.
"You!" Wang Ruyue felt extremely angry when she saw his face. She couldn't keep her composure because she was worried about Tenku. If Wang Ruyue had enough power to kill Gu Qingyang, she would do it now and not care about being disqualified.
"Calm down, Ruyue. Please don't get carried away by your emotions because of what he said! He deliberately provoked you to make you angry and attack him. That way, you will be disqualified, and the Wang family's chances of winning the competition will become even smaller!" Wang Zeming reminded Wang Ruyue.
"But he used a sneaky way to harm Tenku!" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku worriedly. The match was no longer a battle royal but one against twelve.
"Tenku! Give up! Get down from the battle arena now!" Wang Ruyue asked Tenku to surrender because she didn't want to see him get seriously injured. But Tenku didn't care and remained standing in the battle arena. Wang Ruyue became more and more worried and annoyed when she saw him.
"Stop it, Ruyue! Your actions may violate the rules by interfering in the match. You could be disqualified for that." Wang Zeming quickly stopped Wang Ruyue.
"Then, what should we do!?" Wang Ruyue asked, and her face was pale. She didn't want anything bad to happen to her grandfather's disciple because of Gu Qingyang.
"I understand how you feel right now. But there's nothing we can do in this situation. We can only pray that Tenku can beat them all or lose with not too bad conditions." Wang Zeming said helplessly. Wang Ruyue clenched her fists tightly and looked at Gu Qingyang.
"Gu Qingyang. I will pay back for this deed of yours many times over!" Wang Ruyue said in a low voice and looked at Gu Qingyang coldly. Coincidentally, Gu Qingyang also saw her and gave a mocking smile.
"Sit down, Ruyue. You don't need to care about him. You better focus on the Tenku match." Wang Zeming kept a close eye on Wang Ruyue's movements because he didn't want her to act recklessly.
"I understand." Wang Ruyue said in a deep voice and reluctantly sat back in her seat. On the other hand, Huang Yuxin just sat quietly and watched on because she didn't want to meddle in their matters and harm the Huang family.
"Since you have chosen your weapons, we will begin the last battle royal of the preliminary round. Then, the battle begins!" Lin Guchen signaled for the battle to start and the twelve participants quickly moved and attacked Tenku simultaneously.
"Tenku!" Wang Ruyue shouted frantically when he saw that scene.
