Chapter 84: The Mad Demon Blade Technique is Truly Mad

Tuo Ba Ye was speechless. As a newcomer, he had no status and needed to compete for a spot.

"Miss Lei Ting, can you tell me how many outer disciples of our Pill Cauldron Sect will participate?" Tuo Ba Ye couldn't help but ask.

"So what? Are you afraid there won't be enough spots for you to secure one?" Lei Ting laughed.

"So what if I am, and so what if I'm not?"

Lei Ting said, "It's fine to tell you. Including myself, there will be a total of six outer disciples participating. The major sects have nine spots, and the smaller sects have three spots. As for the cultivation families, they will have one to three spots each."

"I have no problem, let's see about Qian Yi." Tuo Ba Ye was full of confidence.

"I have no problem either!" Qian Yi immediately said.

Lei Ting snorted, "Who gets to participate is up to me. If you offend me, you definitely won't get a spot."

"Qian Yi, it seems you need to be nicer to Miss Lei Ting." Tuo Ba Ye laughed.

"I definitely will, all for the spot!" Qian Yi nodded.

Lei Ting immediately felt depressed, "No need, don't be too nice to me. Trying to bribe me won't work."

They chatted for a while, and then Tuo Ba Ye's jade slip indicated it was his turn to compete.

"I'm going to the arena. This time, my opponent is Yu Jialin, and he's not easy to deal with." Tuo Ba Ye smiled.

This time, he had bet 10,000 Force Pills with Yu Jialin and had also bet 4,500 Force Pills on himself. The stakes were high.

If he could win, he would instantly have 19,000 Force Pills, which would be quite a fortune.

When Yu Jialin and Tuo Ba Ye entered the arena, there were continuous screams and cheers.

Yu Jialin, as a veteran strongman, had many supporters, and more people had bet on his victory.

Tuo Ba Ye, as the most popular dark horse among the new outer disciples, also had many supporters.

"Tuo Ba Ye, I've wanted to teach you a lesson for a long time, but I never had the chance!" Yu Jialin said in a deep voice.

His eyes were cold, and his killing intent was terrifying.

Tuo Ba Ye naturally felt it, but he was a bit puzzled. He and Yu Jialin should have no grudge.

"Do we have a grudge?" Tuo Ba Ye asked.

"We don't have a grudge, but you took my brother-in-law's Tiger-Slaying Blade. Have you forgotten?" Yu Jialin said coldly.

"You mean Leng Yidao is your brother-in-law? Why didn't he join the Wind God Squad?" Tuo Ba Ye was even more curious.

Yu Jialin said, "I only recently started dating Leng Yidao's sister. We weren't close before."

"Alright, if that's the case, we do have a grudge. If you can defeat me, the 10,000 Force Pills you win will be enough to buy five or six first-grade spirit weapons." Tuo Ba Ye said calmly.

Yu Jialin sneered, "Tuo Ba Ye, do you think losing 10,000 Force Pills to me will be the end of it? It's not that easy."

"Oh! It seems you want to teach me a lesson, but I'm afraid you don't have the strength." Tuo Ba Ye said coldly.

Yu Jialin, relying on his strength, was so arrogant that Tuo Ba Ye couldn't stand it.

"Teach you a lesson? What if I kill you?" Yu Jialin's tone was icy.

Tuo Ba Ye noticed a problem. The referee was intentionally standing far away, as if he had some connection with Yu Jialin.

He had to be careful. If the referee didn't intervene, Yu Jialin might really try to kill him.

He wasn't afraid of anything else, just afraid that Yu Jialin would use some underhanded tricks.

"Do you want to kill me? Aren't you afraid of the sect rules?" Tuo Ba Ye said coldly.

"Of course I'm afraid of the sect rules, but if I accidentally kill you, what can they do?" Yu Jialin sneered.

"Thanks for telling me. Now I know what to do." Tuo Ba Ye smiled.

The referee said, "Are you ready? If you are, the match will begin!"

"Everything is ready!"

"Ready to start!"

The referee loudly announced, "The match begins!"

As soon as the referee announced it, Yu Jialin took the initiative.

"Mad Demon Blade Technique!"

The Mad Demon Blade Technique, when used, made the user seem possessed, and the blade technique appeared to have no pattern.

But Tuo Ba Ye was incredibly shocked because, although the Mad Demon Blade Technique seemed chaotic, it was actually extremely exquisite and was definitely a top-notch martial technique.

Yu Jialin's mastery of the Mad Demon Blade Technique was also very high, and he executed it with great proficiency, making it incredibly powerful.

"Ah ah..."

Yu Jialin was incredibly mad, looking very terrifying.

He wielded a second-grade spirit weapon, which was extremely powerful, far surpassing the Tiger-Slaying Blade.

Yu Jialin's momentum was unstoppable, and Tuo Ba Ye could only keep dodging, not daring to engage in a direct confrontation.

The Mad Demon Blade Technique was truly chaotic. One move was a downward slash, and the next was an upward thrust.

Although Tuo Ba Ye's movement technique was incredibly mysterious, he was still in a very awkward position against Yu Jialin's attacks.

In a short time, his clothes were torn to rags, and his skin was exposed. Fortunately, his physical defense was astonishing, and he wasn't injured.

Yu Jialin didn't realize Tuo Ba Ye's physical defense was so strong. He thought Tuo Ba Ye's movement technique was so divine that he always managed to dodge, which surprised him.

"Your movement technique is good, but let's see how long you can dodge!" Yu Jialin said coldly.

He had the intention to kill, and all his moves were lethal. Each confrontation was heart-stopping.

"Try it. Maybe your essence energy will run out, and I'll still be full of energy." Tuo Ba Ye said coldly.

The audience below started to discuss, and it was clear that more people supported Yu Jialin.

"It's over. The biggest dark horse among the newcomers is about to lose."

"Yu Jialin's Mad Demon Blade Technique is even stronger, almost divine. It's amazing!"

Duan Hongfei said, "It seems I won't have the chance to fight Tuo Ba Ye. His strength is just so-so. Last year, Yu Jialin was my defeated opponent, and Tuo Ba Ye is even less of a match for me."

"If Tuo Ba Ye doesn't have any other trump cards, it will be hard for him to get through this round." Bi Yuntian said.

Qian Yi, hearing their conversation, said, "Are you so sure our captain will lose?"

"Tuo Ba Ye is in such a state. How long can he last?" Duan Hongfei sneered.

"Then let's make a bet. I just won 8,000 Force Pills yesterday, plus the principal of 10,000 Force Pills, so I'll bet 18,000 Force Pills. I bet our captain will win. Do you dare to bet with me?" Qian Yi had seen Tuo Ba Ye bet on himself and was full of confidence in him.

Tuo Ba Ye had taught him a lot and helped him pursue Lei Ting, so he was very grateful. Even if he wasn't sure Tuo Ba Ye would win, he had to support him.

After all, Force Pills meant nothing to Qian Yi. He had no concept of how many Force Pills he had.

Duan Hongfei immediately hesitated. 18,000 Force Pills was a huge sum for an outer disciple.

Outer disciples rarely had the chance to take on tasks and earn Force Pills. Only those with a background had a sufficient supply of Force Pills.

Although Duan Hongfei could come up with 18,000 Force Pills, he didn't want to bet with Qian Yi.

"Without the courage to bet with me, don't talk nonsense. The match isn't over yet, and the outcome is uncertain." Qian Yi said loudly.

Lei Ting's eyes lit up, and she said, "Not bad, finally showing some manliness!"

Hearing Lei Ting's words, Qian Yi was incredibly excited. He tried to suppress his excitement and said to Duan Hongfei, "Dare to bet?"

"Brother Fei, why be afraid of him? Bet with him, we support you!" The strong members of the Six Paths Squad all spoke up to support him.

Duan Hongfei was in a difficult position. He really didn't want to get involved in this. Discussing it was one thing, but actually betting was foolish, as he couldn't determine who would win.

But now, he was in a bind. If he didn't bet with Qian Yi, he would have to bow to Qian Yi in the future.

If this matter became public, his reputation would be ruined, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Immortal Cloud Valley.

"Fine! I'll bet with you!" Duan Hongfei said loudly.

Before agreeing to the bet, he looked at the match between Tuo Ba Ye and Yu Jialin. Yu Jialin was relentlessly pressing, compressing the space, making it harder for Tuo Ba Ye to dodge.

In Duan Hongfei's eyes, Tuo Ba Ye's defeat was certain, so he agreed to the bet.

"Miss Lei Ting, we'll entrust the bet to you as the referee." Qian Yi was very shrewd, afraid that Duan Hongfei would renege.

He took out 18,000 Force Pills and handed them to Lei Ting.

"Alright, since you've asked me to be the referee, the Force Pills will go to the winner." Lei Ting said calmly.

Duan Hongfei had the intention to renege, but he wasn't afraid of a newcomer.

But with Lei Ting speaking, he had no choice but to take out the Force Pills and hand them to her.

"Brother Fei, you were a bit rash!" Bi Yuntian sighed.

"Captain, I had no choice. I can't let that kid look down on me." Duan Hongfei said dejectedly.

Bi Yuntian said, "Forget it, you still have a chance to win, and the odds are in your favor."

"That's good! Yu Jialin is indeed strong. I only won against him last year by luck. Tuo Ba Ye is just a newcomer, and it's almost impossible for him to defeat Yu Jialin." Duan Hongfei regained his confidence.

"Brother Qian Yi, you're really generous, betting so much at once!" Yang Bin praised.

"It's nothing!" Qian Yi said nonchalantly.

To get Lei Ting's praise, even 100,000 Force Pills wouldn't make him hesitate.

"When I can be as generous as Brother Qian Yi, I'll be satisfied." Yang Bin was very envious.

"You can do it!" Qian Yi said.

"Tuo Ba Ye is in trouble, forced into a corner of the arena. If he can't turn the tide, he will lose." Lei Ting said.

"Ah!" Yang Bin exclaimed, immediately focusing his attention on the arena.

Seeing that Tuo Ba Ye had no room to retreat, Duan Hongfei said happily, "It looks like 18,000 Force Pills will soon be in my hands. After that, I'll treat everyone to a good meal."

They were cultivators, but they still needed to eat and drink.

Besides, eating, drinking, and having fun were all part of enjoying life.

"Brother Fei is really generous!"

"Brother Fei, let's eat some Snow Wolf meat!"

"No problem!" Duan Hongfei seemed to have already won and was preparing to celebrate.

18,000 Force Pills was a huge sum, enough for Duan Hongfei to indulge for a while.

Bi Yuntian suddenly said, "Look, it's about to be decided."

Tuo Ba Ye was forced into a corner, with no room to retreat, and could only fight back. The result of the fight would be decided soon.
