Chapter 266: Chapter 53: Small Whip, Instruction, Exit
"You finally showed up. I thought you wouldn’t dare," Shu Yiming said, stretching out his hand to pull two long spears from behind his back and planting them into the ground.
Jin Xiao, inside the three-tailed blue cat mecha, swallowed nervously. "Peak Master, would you believe me if I said I was coerced into this?"
"Heh."
Jin Xiao knew that anything he said now was useless. He could only focus fully on facing the Peak Master, the greatest enemy of his life.
The tails of the three-tailed blue cat activated, accelerating Jin Xiao as he quickly approached the tiger-headed man. Seeing the tiger-headed man standing still, Jin Xiao felt slighted. I’m a future Core Disciple, and we’re at the same realm right now! The Peak Master truly underestimates me.
Sharp cat claws aimed for the tiger-headed man’s chest. Unexpectedly, Shu Yiming had already predicted the move and dodged to the side, grabbing the blue cat’s paw and smashing it onto the ground nearby.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Two long spears precisely nailed the blue cat mecha’s hind legs to the ground.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Another two long spears flew out, firmly pinning all four of the blue cat mecha’s limbs to the ground, leaving it spread-eagled.
The tiger-headed giant leisurely drew a long whip from its waist, a brilliant smile appearing on its tiger face.
No way... A sliver of disbelief appeared in Chen Jiuge’s scorpion-like eyes. So many people are watching! If this really happens, Senior Brother Jin probably won’t be able to stay in the Inner Sect—no, he won’t be able to stay in the entire Myriad Beasts Sect domain anymore!
"Peak Master! Peak Master, I was wrong!" Jin Xiao cried out miserably.
"Now, receive this Peak Master’s loving education!" The long whip left deep marks on the blue cat mecha’s body.
Watching Shu Yiming continuously swing the small whip, a sleazy grin on his tiger face, Jun Linseng said hesitantly, "Isn’t this a bit much? What if you break Jin Xiao’s Dao Heart?"
"If his Dao Heart breaks that easily, then he doesn’t deserve to be a Core Disciple. I’ve never liked that kid. He has little strength but always acts so arrogant," Jiang Taiyuan scoffed.
"Elder Jiang is right. Jin Xiao’s strength is far inferior to Yue Jun’s," Jiang Shengyuan agreed.
The whipping continued. Jin Xiao seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, only twitching occasionally to prove he wasn’t unconscious yet.
Shu Yiming, sounding somewhat bored, said, "Giving up so soon? And you still want to become a Core Disciple? It seems I haven’t disciplined you enough. You need to focus on your cultivation when you get back."
Drawing a long spear from his back, Shu Yiming pressed its tip against the blue cat mecha’s neck. "Goodbye, little Jin Xiao!"
"Hahaha! You old thing, you think I don’t know your tricks? Let’s die together!" Jin Xiao suddenly burst into crazed laughter.
The three seemingly ornamental tails suddenly snapped in the middle. Three dark openings appeared, from which three Laser Swords shot out and pierced the tiger-headed man’s chest.
Shu Yiming stared in disbelief. This damn kid... he was actually enduring humiliation to bide his time?
"Peak Master, take this as my payback!"
A massive explosion erupted—the blue cat mecha had self-destructed!
I, Jin Xiao, endured such humiliation just for this moment, for Shu Yiming to get a little closer so I could launch this suicidal self-destruction! I am a hero!
"Hiss... did he really have to be so ruthless?" Chen Jiuge said, cringing.
Getting whipped with that little thing in front of the entire sect, all just to get a bit closer for a self-destruction that would cause greater damage? What kind of deep-seated hatred is that?!
Looking at where the large blue cat mecha had completely vanished, Shu Yiming felt the extensive damage to his own tiger-headed mecha. A touch of emotion surfaced as he thought, The damn kid has grown up.
Looks like I need to get serious now.
Seeing the battered tiger-headed mecha, many disciples from White Tiger Peak grew excited. If we defeat the Peak Master now, wouldn’t that be our moment to shine?!
"Peak Master, hehehe..." one disciple, stepping forward first, said with a lewd grin.
Shu Yiming showed a trace of contempt. He then launched a long spear from his back, instantly destroying the disciple’s monster mecha and eliminating him.
"Too brutal!" Chen Jiuge exclaimed, somewhat alarmed. They’re all fighting in Mahayana Mechas now, so the difference between them shouldn’t be that vast. Yet, the half-damaged tiger-headed mecha blasted a fully intact one in an instant! That’s outrageous!
"That’s a Golden Immortal for you," Gao Jie, one of the Core Disciples who hadn’t spoken yet, said gravely.
After blasting another lobster-like monster mecha, Shu Yiming sighed. "Sect Master, I was careless. This is as far as I go."
CRASH!
The tiger-headed mecha, which had barely managed to maintain its general shape, instantly collapsed into a pile of fragments. The White Tiger Peak Master was eliminated!
"Old Shu actually got taken out by a disciple from his own peak! Clearly, he’s been too lax lately. We must send him for some serious training next time," Gui Taixuan, the Xuanwu Peak Master, complained with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, enough of that. Who’s up next? Old Shu only took out about twenty disciples. That’s not good enough," Jun Linseng said, his expression grave. I really don’t want to be the Sect Master who ends up humiliated like that; it would be too disgraceful.
"I’ll go. It’ll be a good chance to tease Old Shu," Fu Shanhe, the Azure Dragon Peak Master, whispered.
The Azure Dragon Peak Master’s mecha was, naturally, an Azure Dragon. The "Little Dragon" was requesting battle!
Beside Chen Jiuge, Li Yao stretched. "Looks like it’s my turn."
The "Little Dragonling" joins the battle!
"I never thought there would come a day when I’d fight my own disciple," Fu Shanhe said, somewhat emotionally. "Usually, these kinds of mecha competitions are just for the Sect Master and some idle Elders to liven things up. A situation like this is indeed rare."
"Actually, I think this is great. It’s a perfect chance to let Master see how much I’ve progressed," Li Yao replied with a gentle smile.
