The Imperial Advisor was about to strike down when he was blasted away.

Cough!

He coughed out blood as he looked at the man that he was facing. Another fellow advisor, for another prince, looked down at him.

“Tian Zhi. I told you that siding with the crown prince was the best way. Why did you have to stay with the tenth prince? I told you that you would lose.” He coldly said.

“Look around. What part of this looks like you are winning?” Tian Zhi chuckled.

“Now then, Fan Hong, what are you talking about? Winning? I must tell you, you have chosen the wrong side indeed. Your prince has chosen wrong.”

Fan Hong looked down upon Tian Zhi and shook his head.

“Once I am finished with you, I will take care of everyone else. Soon enough, the war will be over.” Fan Hong smiled.

“Sigh. While you keep talking, valuable minutes vanish. Why don’t you finish this match, or let me enter it. I am way too bored.” Liu Man’s voice rang in both the imperial advisors’ heads.

They stopped moving and looked up at where Liu Man was hovering.

“You are that Liu Feng’s companion. The one in the seventh layer as well!” Tian Zhi said.

“Are you willing to continue the battle, or are you going to let me do this?” Liu Man asked, while Fan Hong was just watching them.

“We can band toge-”

“No.” Liu Man immediately shook his head.

“I am not going to ever let you hurt my pride like that. If I can’t defeat this man here on my own, then what I do is useless. My life is pointless.” Liu Man chuckled as he vanished, appeared in front of Tian Zhi.

“I am going to be your opponent then. This man here is clearly not strong enough to face you, so I am going to humor you for a while.” Liu Man smiled.

“What, you joking kid? Do you think that this is funny? I am not going go easy on-”

Swish!

Fan Hong’s face changed as he raised his sword and turned around. His sword shivered as he fell back a few steps.

In his place, Liu Man appeared, his hand outreached, with claws in the place of fingernails, and a white furry paw.

This was the paw of the white tiger, that was partially transformed.

Clang!

The moment that his sword hit Liu Man’s claws, he blasted back a few feet. Then, he looked at Liu Man with shock.

This much fire power and attack power was not expected from someone this young.

“What is this? How could someone so young have such strength?” Fan Hong asked, his sword and hand shivering.

“I am too bored of this battle. It doesn’t give me the thrill that fighting those two gave. I should just finish this fast.” Liu Man sighed as he looked at his palm.

On his claws, which were flawless and did not have a scratch on them, there was a silver glimer that slowly changed. The claws started growing longer, and so did the fur on his hands.

The fur reached for his shoulders, and then disappeared into his robes.

Then, his robes disappeared, and Liu Man transformed completely. He was a tiger through and through now.

His white fur shined even among the bright sky, and everyone’s eyes were glued on him.

“You better put up a fight. I don’t want this to end so fast.” Liu Man said, a little steam escaping his mouth.

Then, he disappeared.

Fan Hong looked around, trying to find his new opponent. But even though he looked around, he could not find Liu Man.

But then, he turned around. His instincts told him that Liu Man was going to appear then.

And then, he felt it. A sharp killing intent that was aimed at him. And it certainly wasn’t coming from the front. It was coming from behind him, where he just turned away from.

“How did you get there? This is impossible. How can you be so fast, and still have attack power like that?” Fan Hong asked, his voice shivering.

The killing intent did it for him. The killing intent was so strong that it froze his very blood.

“You were good on this prediction. Your instincts were right and on point. I was indeed coming from there.” Behind Fan Hong, Liu Man said.

“But your instincts are still not fast enough. I am much faster.” Liu Man coldly declared as his sharp claws stopped just millimeters away from Fan Hong’s nape.

And Fan Hong knew that it was pointed to his neck. He could feel it.

“How are you so fast? How are you so unbeatable?” Fan Hong murmured.

Fan Hong lost so fast that he couldn’t even react. The battle wasn’t just one-sided. It was a simple massacre and there was no other explanation to it.

Liu Man was just too insanely strong, and Fan Hong had already used up a little Qi fighting against Tian Zhi.

Even thought Fan Hong was winning with ease till now, this wasn’t as simple as defeating him and going on to the next opponent.

Unless one was four or five layers above the other one in cultivation, it wasn’t going to be as simple as defeating the person with ease and going on to the next opponent.

And yet, this monster that he faced defied everything that common sense stood for.

Fan Hong was just shocked still while Liu Man was still standing there.

“I need you to give me your word. Do you give up or not?” He asked.

“I- I give up.” Fan Hong nodded, a cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

He would rather give up than fight against this monster. He didn’t love the crown prince as much as the Tiandu Sect did.

But when he looked at where he needed to go, he was just shocked even more.
