Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Tenku was slightly surprised when he saw those cultivators surrounding him. He had not expected that the people who had malicious intent towards him would not be just one or two participants but twelve people. Tenku was amazed by the efficiency of the people behind them in being able to quickly find out his lottery numbers and the people in his group.

Wang Ruyue shouted to him to surrender, but Tenku ignored her. When he glanced at his seat, he saw Gu Qingyang sitting there. Tenku didn't know what his purpose was in coming to arena F, but he could deduce that the twelve cultivators that surrounded him were under orders from Gu Qingyang.

"Then the match begins!" Lin Guchen signaled the start of the fourth battle royal, and twelve cultivators attacked Tenku simultaneously. Tenku could hear Wang Ruyue's frantic screams, but she didn't have time to respond.

"You look impatient to beat me and get rewarded from the one who gave the order to you. Unfortunately, it will only bring you misfortune." Tenku said calmly. Even though he saw twelve people charging toward him with murderous intent, he did not panic.

The one who approached Tenku first was a male cultivator wielding a greatsword.

"This is the result if you offend young master Gu!" That person swung his sword with all his might.

Tenku didn't care what he said. He thrust his weapon casually, and his spearhead clashed with the greatsword.

Clank!

"Impossible!" That person said in disbelief. He was knocked back several steps by the impact of their clash. His cultivation base was at the late stage of the Earth Origin realm. But with a realm one level below him, Tenku could easily block attacks at his full strength. That made him doubt the boy's true strength.

"You're embarrassing us! You can't even handle a boy at the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm." Another cultivator came and attacked Tenku with the sword in his hand.

"You talk too much." Tenku shifted her body to avoid the slash and counterattacked by thrusting his spear.

"Did you think a weak attack like that could hit me?" That person sneered and swung his sword to block Tenku's attack. But then he was shocked because what he slashed was air, precisely the afterimage of Tenku's spear.

Phantom Rupture!

"Argh!" That cultivator groaned in pain as a spear pierced his stomach without him knowing. But it wasn't over as Tenku's kick came after him and sent him flying out of the arena. One in twelve people was eliminated less than five minutes after the match started.

"Damn! Attack him together!" One of the cultivators screamed frantically when he saw the scene.

Several participants attacked Tenku simultaneously. They thrust their spears and slashed their swords at him. But their attacks were easily dodged by a hair's margin, and Tenku got the chance to counterattack.

Thousands of Stabs!

"Aaahhhhh!"

"Argh!"

"Aaahh!"

Three people fell on the arena because Tenku stabbed their legs and arms until they lost their mobility. That way, already four people were knocked out by Tenku in a short time.

"Okay. I don't have much time to play with you. We should end this fight as soon as possible." Tenku said nonchalantly and swung her weapon to clean the traces of blood that stuck to her spearhead.

"Arrogant! Do you think once you beat them, then you can beat us!? We are not the same as them! Attack him from all directions. I'm sure he won't be able to do anything in that situation!" One of the cultivators shouted and gave an order. He was the most powerful participant out of the twelve, and his cultivation base was on the verge of breaking through to the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm.

The cultivators in the arena dealt a lethal blow to Tenku by infusing Qi into their weapons. Tenku grinned when he saw the attack from eight directions. He compressed the Qi at the tip of his spearhead and shaped it into a large blade.

Slash!

"Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh!" Several sounds of pain echoed throughout the arena.

Tenku slashed through four cultivators in the stomach, and the rest managed to dodge when he hit the last one. After the other four fell, the remaining participants in the arena were five, including Tenku.

Meanwhile, Wang Ruyue and Wang Zeming fell silent in shock when they saw the battle in the arena. Even Huang Yuxin opened her little mouth wide under the veil. They did not expect Tenku has terrific fighting abilities. He fought like an old cultivator with dozens of years of experience.

"This is..." Wang Ruyue was at a loss for words to comment on the scene before her eyes.

"Is he that strong?" Wang Zeming looked at Wang Ruyue and asked.

"I do not know. My grandfather never said how strong Tenku was. But are you familiar with his moves? It's no ordinary spear art." Wang Ruyue shook her head and kept looking at how Tenku swung his spear.

"You are right. His movements are like one of the practices in the Wang family, the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique." Wang Zeming said in a low voice so as not to be heard by the people around him.

"Yes, his movements are similar to that technique. I don't think my grandfather taught him the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique other than the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture." Wang Ruyue nodded and agreed with Wang Zeming's words.

"What's even more amazing is that he can train it to such a high level for a boy his age. This is so absurd." Wang Zeming said in disbelief.

Wang Zeming and Wang Ruyue had also practiced the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique since they were young. They were geniuses of the Wang family, but until now, they couldn't even touch the mastery stage and have been stuck at the advanced stage for the past few years.

Some disciples of the Wang family who were also allowed to practice the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique could not even break through to the Intermediate stage and were stuck at the Beginner stage until now. That showed how difficult the technique was. Only people who have a high level of comprehension can learn it.

"He was at least at mastery or even higher level." Wang Ruyue said in a trembling voice. Her impression of Tenku instantly changed from a novice cultivator to a little monster with terrifying comprehension skills.

On the other hand, Huang Yuxin looked at Tenku with sparkling eyes. Since childhood, she spent time practicing because she loved it and rarely played with children her age. This made her social skills very bad and made her a shy girl. Thus, Huang Yuxin was curious about Japanese people who could cultivate to such a level.

Back at the battle arena, the remaining participants looked at Tenku in disbelief. They doubted their eyes when they saw the scene before them.

"How strong is that boy!?"

"Isn't his cultivation base only at the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm!?"

"What the hell is that combat power!? He looks less like a veteran than a boy!"

The remaining three cultivators were terrified and subconsciously stepped back and didn't dare attack Tenku again.

"What are you doing!? Have you forgotten the young master's order!? If we can't beat him, then we will get punished! They lost because they were useless and weak! Therefore, you don't need to be afraid of him! I'm sure the four of us can beat him if we fight seriously!" A cultivator acting as the leader warned the other three.

The three participants looked at each other and nodded. Then they attacked Tenku again, but this time with all their strength.

Tenku avoided the attacks and kept his distance from them. He looked like he was overwhelmed by them. The participants attacked Tenku in different ways. Sometimes they attack in turn. Sometimes they attack together. They tried to confuse Tenku with their constantly changing attack patterns.

But they didn't know that Tenku was looking for an opportunity to counterattack and get rid of them all at once. As the four executed their following attack pattern, Tenku suddenly smirked after seeing them standing in a straight line.

The cultivator in front attacked with a spear. But Tenku had secretly compressed the Qi to the extreme in his spearhead and thrust it at him.

Tyrannical Drill!

Tenku rotated his spear at high speed like a drill and clashed it with his opponent's weapon.

Crack!

His opponent's weapon was destroyed when it clashed with Tenku's attack. After that, the spear continuously shot out without losing its power and pierced the shoulder of the cultivator in front of him.

"Aahhhhh!"

"Arghhh!"

"Ahhhhh!"

"Aaaahhhh!"

Four screams resounded across the arena as Tenku stabbed not only the cultivator in front of him but also the three participants behind that person, making them look like skewers with spears.

"Release us from this spear!!"

They struggled to escape from Tenku's spear, but their efforts were in vain as they couldn't move in such a stacked position.

"Fine, if that's what you want." Tenku nodded and pointed the four people in a specific direction. Then he grinned, and it made them shiver.

"What do you want to do!?" One of the cultivators asked in a trembling voice. Tenku smiled slightly and answered with a kick to his stomach while pulling out his spear forcefully.

The four participants vomited blood and shot outside the arena at top speed like cannonballs. They flew towards Gu Qingyang and caused the people from the Gu family around him to panic.

Gu Qingyang quickly avoided the four participants. Unfortunately, the people from the Gu family who were with him did not have time to react, and some of them were hit by the four cultivators and vomited blood.

"You!" Gu Qingyang looked at Tenku fiercely.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I accidentally overused my power and flew them to your place." Tenku smiled and replied calmly.

"Good! Very good!" Gu Qingyang clenched his fists tightly and felt extremely angry when he heard Tenku's answer. Then he looked at the people from the Gu family who managed to dodge the four human-shaped weapons.

"Take the injured away from here and treat them immediately!" Gu Qingyang gave a cold snort and left the place with the rest of the Gu family. He was embarrassed to remain in that place after what he had said to Wang Ruyue.

​ After Gu Qingyang and the people from the Gu family left, Tenku looked at Lin Guchen to urge him to announce the results of the match. Lin Guchen was dumbfounded watching Tenku fight but quickly regained his senses.

"Cough! The winner is Tenku of the Wang family!" Ling Guchen announced the fourth battle royal winner and signaled the end of the preliminary round in arena F.
