I Am Supreme Chapter 1081 - The Most Uncertain Match!

The silver wolf turned its head and glanced at Luo Dajiang as if it wanted to remember this human firmly in mind, and only then it left with Meng Xiao.

Qin Ruogu stared at his Uncle-Master coming in his direction with wide eyes, his head reeling and his eyes filled with incredulity.

He could not believe that his Uncle-Master, who was already half-step into the realm of Saint Kings, was defeated after using his own life force to boost his cultivation base, a.s.sisted by a Beast-King-level spiritual beast, and had even self-detonated in the end.

It was simply a nightmare!

“I lost…I tried my best, but I couldn’t turn the tables,” said Meng Xiao in a flat tone. “Focus and prepare yourself for the upcoming matches.”

Qin Ruogu nodded blankly while Meng Xiao sighed and walked to his seat.

“Uncle-Master!” Qin Ruogu blurted out.

“After this battle, no matter what the outcome is, I’ll leave the sect,” said Meng Xiao without turning back. “I’ll spend the last days of my life visiting old friends, drinking and catching up with them, and maybe take a good look at this world. I’ll not stay in the sect anymore. When I die, someone will bring my body back.”

“Uncle-Master!” Qin Ruogu’s eyes grew wider, and his voice was thick with disbelief now.

“That’s it.” Waving his hand, Meng Xiao smiled faintly and said, “I’ve fought for Beast Trainer Sect for thousands of years. Now that my life is coming to an end, you ought to let me…relax and rest for a brief moment.

“For the days that remain for me, I want to live my own life.” He laughed in a low, hoa.r.s.e voice and then took his leave.

Qin Ruogu’s mind was blank. He could not figure out what was happening with his Uncle-Master.

‘What’s the matter? It is just a failure in securing an expected victory, and I didn’t say anything harsh to him. But, why does Uncle-Master look so dispirited? Is this defeat such a huge blow to him?’

The sect leader of Beast Trainer Sect did not know what to say. It seemed that he had not realized even now what the reason that made his Uncle-Master leave in disappointment was.

“The second match, the match of disciples!”

Upon hearing that, a disciple of Beast Trainer Sect, who looked in his thirties, rose to his feet. With his Spirit Beast Band tightly clutched in hand, he bowed and said, “Master, this disciple will fight the match.”

“Good!”

The disciple strode toward the field.

Meanwhile, on the stand belonging to Residence of Nine Supremes…

“Master, this disciple volunteers to fight the match!” Yun Xiuxin stepped forward.

Yun Xiuxin was about to speak again when Bai Yexing interrupted her, “Senior Sister, you’ve fought a match before, so please let me take this one.”

She rolled her eyes and said angrily, “It is a match of disciples, so it should naturally be fought by Eldest Senior Sister…”

Yun Yang laughed. “Yexing will fight this match.”

“Thank you, Master!” said Bai Yexing with a bow.

“This is a tough match, but as long as you remember what I’ve told you, you should be able to win.”

Yun Yang looked at Bai Yexing and said, “Don’t be careless, because this match is the most uncertain match in my opinion for the Residence of Nine Supremes on this journey. Calmness and ruthlessness are more important than fighting strength in this match.”

“Understood! This disciple will definitely do my best and not disgrace the sect.”

“You may go now.”

“Understood!”

Bai Yexing picked up his sword and started toward the field at a pace that was not too fast, thinking as he walked.

‘This match is undoubtedly very crucial. My opponent will be a.s.sisted by a spirit beast, and his strength is most probably about the same as mine. So, how am I going to defeat him?

‘Although Yun Xiuxin’s strength is the strongest among all disciples, she is a girl after all, and is too young. She will feel weak mentally when the opponent’s spiritual beast is slightly ferocious. Moreover, as the eldest senior sister of a sect, she cannot be defeated.’

‘So, I must take up this match, fight with all my might, and win by any means, even if it will cost my life!’

‘I believe I can at least fight for an opportunity to die with my opponent.’

‘No!’ Another thought came to him suddenly, “I can’t die with my opponent. This battle is unlike any other, as the att.i.tude of the combatants toward death is far from comparable to other battles. They are not afraid of death, because everyone can be resurrected after the matches are over. Therefore, if I start out with this thought in mind, it means I have already predicted that I will not win, and at most will finish the match with a draw.’

‘Then, should I try another fighting method? Master had asked me to be calm and ruthless, but what does that really mean?’

Bai Yexing chewed his lips and hastened his pace.

…

If the match between Luo Dajiang and Meng Xiao was fast-paced and brutal, then the one between Bai Yexing and his opponent was a match that sent a s.h.i.+ver down the back of everyone present. No one could believe that there were people who fought in such an extreme way!

Previously, when Residence of Nine Supremes and Thousand Mountains Sect were fighting in the match of formations, Bai Yexing was one of the disciples. His strength was visible for all to see, and although his performance was amazing, his actual cultivation level was also known to everyone. As a result, Beast Trainer Sect had sent a disciple whose cultivation base had reached the level of Honor to fight against him. Moreover, the disciple’s mystical beast had gone beyond the level of ninth-tier, with an enormous body and a fierce appearance that could frighten anyone who looked at it.

In the face of two such formidable opponents, Bai Yexing was at a complete disadvantage before he had even begun to fight. And everyone present could see the situation.

However, Bai Yexing showed a stunning performance from the very beginning of the match.

As soon as the battle began, he showed his palm and the fierce appearance of his opponent’s mystical beast disappeared immediately. It looked stunned for a moment before flying in his direction as if to chase something.

It was a pity that the crowd was too far away to see what was the thing that had distracted the mystical beast. In any case, with the speed of the mystical beast, no matter what it was chasing, the time Bai Yexing could buy was only a few moments at most.

In that instant, however, Bai Yexing rushed forward at an unprecedented speed, completely ignoring the sword that was about to pierce his chest and thrust his own sword at his opponent’s throat. His opponent, knowing that he had the advantage and would not die with Bai Yexing, hastily drew back his sword to defend himself while waiting for the mystical beast to return and join him in the attack.

The disciple’s reaction was excellent, but Bai Yexing’s next move surprised everyone. Just as their weapons collided, his sword suddenly flew out of his grip, either knocked away by his opponent’s weapon or thrown out by himself. In short, he lost his weapon as soon as they met.
