BXBX NOVEL Chapter 118: Resign
Ying Yue suddenly stopped, feeling a strange sensation washing over her, making her mind numb and her body still. Her eyes snapped open as her vision disappeared suddenly, just like before.
She hurriedly took out her daggers and closed her eyes as she relied only on her instincts to look for danger. She knew something was messing with her five senses so she didn\'t even bother to rely on them.
Her breathing became stable as her mind went completely calm, as she focused on her instincts that had been calling out to her.
Suddenly, her instincts screamed at her as her whole mind shook with high intensity. She felt as if a deathly aura was washing over her and the death was very close to her.
She instantly recognised the direction she was getting the alarm from and raised her dagger to instinctively deflect the incoming attack. She felt her arms shaking as if a massive rock had slammed into her arm.
Still, she managed to deflect the attack and had survived. She also felt the crises going away, but it was still there. She slowly opened her eyes and staggered backwards in shock.
Right in front of her, a massive bird was standing covered in a yellow glow as many lightning bolts crackled around its wings. Its huge eye looked at her, shaking her to the core. She instinctively took a few step backward, looking in horror at the giant of a bird.
\'W-What the hell? Is she crazy? Why the hell did she put a fucking High-Stage Tier 4 Thunderclaw Roc here. It\'s practically a sucide.
How the hell I ended up here.\'
However, then she noticed that the bird\'s attention wasn\'t only on her. It was also looking elsewhere. She followed its gaze and found many disciples standing around the Thunderclaw Roc. They were stunned to the core and forgot to even move under the presence of a mighty Thunderclaw Roc.
It was the King of the Aerial Spiritual Creatures, after all. A being highly ranked even within its own Tier. A being that everyone feared. And now that being was standing there in front them.
Ying Yue soon calmed down as she realised the fact that she wasn\'t alone and in a way, had a way out. She calmly analysed the situation and counted exactly 38 disciples.
\'49 joined initially and from what I\'ve gathered, some of the had already been eliminated. This is definitely related to those two figures so they\'re definitely not here.\'
It was then the group of participants heard a mocking voice from a distance.
"Haha, if no one remains in the compititions, we\'ll automatically win. Now you can all die here, hahaha. Thank God that supervisor otherwise we wouldn\'t have been able to create such an opportunity."
They turned to looked at the source of voice but why would the Thunderclaw Roc wait for them? It was already in rage because so many people had disturbed its sleep. It screeched loudly and flapped its enormous wings as several yellow lightning bolts descended on the petrified disciples.
Ying Yue looked sideways and got ready to run but a sudden gust of wind stopped her. She looked in surprise as a red haired woman descended from the skies, deflecting all the lightning bolts as they were aside, landing in different places.
However, outcome remained the same. The Thunderclaw Roc was a true Tier 4 Spiritual Creature and deserved its title of King of Aerial Spiritual Creatures. Every single lightning bolt made a big crater wherever it landed.
The Earth trembled under the terrifying might of a king, making every disciple shudder in fear. They could imagine what would have happened if the lightning bolts landed on them.
No doubt, they would be turned into dust on the spot.
Ning Xi looked at the Thunderclaw Roc and smirked. The Thunderclaw Roc suddenly turned quite as closed its wings, trying to look pitiful. It suddenly remembered some bad memories.
"Good boi!!"
Ning Xi smiled and then turned towards the disciples.
"So, as you all know it already, getting help from the supervisor is directly disqualification. But I\'ll give you all a second chance because otherwise everyone will be eliminated, after all, I already said killing is forbidden so even those two guys won\'t qualify. So, I\'ll ask you all a question.
Do you want to stay in the compitition?"
Ning Xi raised her hand as she continued.
"However, remember this, whoever stays will be responsible for their own life. I won\'t come to save you no matter what and even those two guys won\'t be held responsible for this. If you choose to resign, I\'ll take you out but you\'ll be disqualified.
However, if you decided to stay here, you\'ll still be in the compititions but responsible for your own life. I mean, you can try to stay here if you\'re confident in running away from that thing."
Ning Xi pointed at the Thunderclaw Roc and grinned.
"Now, raise your hand if you resign. You only have ten seconds."
Majority of the disciples didn\'t hesitate for a second to raise their hand while others had to take a look at the destruction caused by the Thunderclaw Roc to resign. After all, they were the best disciples of their sect and their Sect would suffer loses if they died.
They could just participate in next year\'s Annual Sect Tournaments, after all. It would just mean a year of setback but it wasn\'t like they had any hopes of becoming a Tier 2 sect.
Almost everyone was already sure that the Seven Stars Sect would become the Tier 2 sect now that Wind Flower Sect wasn\'t there. So there simply was no point in staying here and dying meaninglessly. Even if they joined forces, they doubted they would be able to win.
And even if they win, there would be causalities and they could be among those casuality. So in the end, everyone raised their hand except for two people.
Ying Yue and Bai Li.
