Chapter 125 Defeated
================¶¶================
Quan was barely able to raise his sword to block the punch sent at him in time, and Sun Wukong\'s first collided with the body of the sword.
*Boom!* *Crack!*
Sun Wukong\'s fist blasted the sword away cracking it in the process and still landed on Quan\'s chest with great momentum.
But in that small amount of delay when it collided with the sword, Quan had used that force to push himself back, so that when the punch landed on him, its effect was lesser.
*Boom!*
Still, he was sent flying as the force of the fist crashed his body on the nearby mountain, forming a human-shaped dent.
*Bang!*
"Argh!"
Quan coughed out a mouthful of blood twice.
"Keh, how?"
He didn\'t understand how Sun Wukong beat him in a fight of pure strength when he had higher cultivation while still under the effects of the Berserk Pill.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong was also as surprised as Quan.
\'Since when did I get so strong?\' He knew his limits well and he wasn\'t this powerful a few days ago.
\'Drunken Monkey Fist? Where did I learn that?\' Even the technique he just used appeared in his mind out of nowhere making him confused.
\'Whatever...\' Sun Wukong decided not to waste his brain power on something he can\'t explain.
\'This must be why that old man said the more I battle strong opponents, the stronger I will become.\'
Quan saw that Sun Wukong was \'ignoring\' him and felt humiliated, "You little-?!"
*Blergh!*
But he suddenly vomited blood and fell to his knees. His hands on the ground were shaking and he had to use all his willpower to maintain that position.
\'What\'s happening? It feels like all my bones are about to shatter!\' The thought of that scared Quan.
"What did you do?"
"What? Oh, you are still here. Sorry, I got sidetracked, can you repeat what you said?" Sun Wukong only now remembered that he was in a battle.
\'I need to learn to focus more,\' he chided himself.
"What-?!" Quan screamed in anger, and that was the final straw, which caused his injuries to aggravate and he went unconscious.
"Wait! Don\'t just fall and die?!" Sun Wukong was flustered as he would be penalized if it was found out that he killed a fellow disciple.
While his battle came to a close, the same was happening with Luke and Balor\'s battle.
*Clink!*
Swords clashed again and at that moment time seemed to stop for Balor, and he froze for less than a second.
That short amount of time was all his opponent needed to make a comeback and slash his sword diagonally on Balor\'s chest, drawing blood in the process.
And then he followed up with another attack with a mad grin on his face as his sword\'s edge arrived just an inch away from Balor.
\'Got you!\' He said in his heart.
But to his dismay, rather than the sound of his sword penetrating flesh, it clashed with a hard metal surface instead.
*Clank!*
\'What the fuck?! How?!\'
He was momentarily shocked and was barely able to hear the mutterings of his opponent.
"I understand now...Sword and Man as One."
Ballor smiled as though the burning sensation of his chest wound felt like nothing.
In his opponent\'s shock Balor twisted his foot and appeared behind him.
And then he dropped his hand causing his sword\'s edge to face down.
This was an action a swordsman would only do when the battle was over.
This would have been confusing for an onlooker since Balor\'s opponent was still standing.
But then multiple wounds suddenly appeared simultaneously on his body.
\'How did he...\' That was the only thought in his mind before he passed out.
"Did you see it?"
"Yes, and from what I saw...his sword intent level shot up in that instant, which suppressed his opponent\'s senses so that he could not react in time."
Two people who were hiding within the valley commented on what Balor just did.
They were from the Blood Sword Faction.
They had been sent here by their vice leader who was cautious and told them that he will not underestimate Arthur.
So, therefore, he sent them to watch over this operation just in case things do not go as planned or if Arthur showed up.
They had previously thought that their vice leader was just being paranoid and they believed that they would have no need to interfere, especially when they gave the berserk pills to those guys.
But who would have thought that their vice leader was right?
They were also shocked by the power displayed by these new disciples who had not been in the sect for more than half a year.
"Should we eliminate them?" One asked coldly.
"No, that will bring too much trouble. Lord Crixus will be out of his seclusion soon, and by that time no one will be able to resist."
"You are right, but I don\'t understand this feeling I have to kill them right here and now to prevent future troubles."
"What lousy feeling is that? You are just feeling bloodthirsty after not killing anyone for a year."
"Uh...that may be true. Hey, look at the other one," he gestured his companion towards Luke\'s battle.
"Hah!"
The Blood Sword Faction member flung his axe at Balor who ducked and sent a punch at his opponent.
The Blood Sword Faction member was a bit confused as to why Luke\'s dagger was not in that hand, but he ignored it.
\'This is my chance!\' He thought.
He had confidence in his physique and was going to trade blow for blow.
So he allowed Luke\'s attack to land.
*Puchi!*
"Argh!" He screamed as a dagger pierced his left rib.
\'How did a dagger suddenly appear there?\'
The pain and confusion made him slow down his attack and Luke delivered a heavy punch to his chin while imitating something he saw Arthur do in the last.
"Uppercut!" he said as his fist hit the chin of the young man.
*Bang!*
With that blow, the Blood Sword Faction member was knocked back and he landed on the ground unconscious.
*Thud!*
The entire place became silent as everyone was still in awe of the three battles that just took place and concluded at the same time.
"Phew! He is still alive everyone! I didn\'t kill anybody!" Sun Wukong\'s happy shout broke the silence in the valley.
Luke shook his head and was about to respond, but an unknown voice spoke instead.
"Tch! You only fought a bunch of useless trash, what\'s there to be happy about?"
