Chapter 977, Who Will Deal with Mikami Heiji?

Translator: Silavin

 

“Since that’s the case, then you shall fight those five.” The Archpriest said this while looking toward Lu Fan and the others, commanding in an authoritative tone: “You five, all enter the arena. If you win, all five enter the Tsukimi Sect. If you lose, you are all eliminated!”

 

These words caused quite a stir among those present.

 

Clearly, the Archpriest’s arbitrary changing of the rules was not something people approved of.

 

The rules for who could enter the Tsukimi Sect had been established long ago; how could they be changed so casually!?

 

However, since the other party was the Archpriest, who would dare to actually stand up and criticize his actions!? If they angered him, he could simply decree that no one would be allowed into the Tsukimi Sect.

 

Lu Fan could not help but smile.

 

Because this Archpriest had actually been bought off with just a single Epic item, and in such broad daylight at that. To think such a figure was accepting bribes in public.

 

This showed that within the Tsukimi Sect, most likely, it was full of nasty corruption.

 

However, since Mikami Heiji had gone so far as to use an Epic item to prevent them from entering the Tsukimi Sect, Lu Fan could not disappoint him, could he?

 

Originally, he did not want to cause too much trouble; he just wanted to obtain the Ancient God’s Divine Seat and then leave.

 

But since Mikami Heiji was so intent on seeking death, he could not be blamed.

 

Also, because the Archpriest had commanded it, Lu Fan and the others legitimately stepped onto the stage.

 

Five people against Mikami Heiji alone. It looked extremely unfair. But all of this was Mikami Heiji’s choice. The ones truly being treated unfairly should be Lu Fan and the others.

 

Mikami Heiji looked toward Lu Fan and the others, his lips curling into a cold smile.

 

“How about it? Do you regret disrespecting me earlier? Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets now!” You want to enter the Tsukimi Sect? Today, I’ll ensure not one of you gets in!” Pausing, Mikami Heiji’s gaze fell upon Tao Xiaoman, Jian Ying, and Qin Qiu.

 

“You three lovely ladies can be treated differently. Originally, with your abilities, entering the Tsukimi Sect should have been almost certain, but you were implicated simply because you associated with this person. Why don’t you consider becoming friends with me? At worst, I’ll say a few good words to the Archpriest later and give you three a chance. In fact, once I become part of the Tsukimi Sect, if you’re with me, even if you’re not followers, people will still respect you and you’ll enjoy many privileges. And next year, when the Tsukimi Sect publicly opens up another round of recruitment, I can also help you join the Tsukimi Sect.”

 

After these words, the expressions of Qin Qiu and the others all became complex. There was both mockery toward Mikami Heiji and a sense of nauseous disgust.

 

These expressions from the three naturally infuriated Mikami Heiji.

 

Seeing that Qin Qiu and the others had no intention whatsoever of submitting to him, he nodded repeatedly with a laugh. “Good. Won’t cry until you see the coffin, is that it? Later, you’ll have plenty to cry about.”

 

With that, Mikami Heiji drew his weapon, clearly prepared for battle.

 

Lu Fan’s five exchanged glances, obviously hesitating about how to deal with Mikami Heiji.

 

It was not that Mikami Heiji was too difficult to handle. Rather, this person was too weak. The question was who should make a move without exposing too much of their abilities.

 

Jin Zhan was first to shake his head, indicating he had no interest in fighting Mikami Heiji.

 

Lu Fan felt the same. He could not be bothered fighting such a clown.

 

However, if he absolutely had to act, that would not be a problem either.

 

Setting aside his Totem Master identity and Attributes, revealing just a fraction of his strength should allow him to end the battle with a single punch.

 

In comparison, the three women, Jian Ying and the others, were interested in fighting him.

 

Because the three had just obtained Ancient God Powers and were worried about not having an enemy to test their abilities against.

 

At the same time, this person’s previous harassment of Han Ke had made the three women quite displeased with him.

 

Taking action to teach this person a lesson was something the three wanted to do.

 

However, Lu Fan was still somewhat uneasy about letting these three take action.

 

In terms of strength, although these three were formidable, the opponent was Cherry Blossom Country’s number one genius. His abilities were nothing to scoff at. Combined with his Level advantage, Mikami Heiji’s strength was definitely above that of Qin Qiu and the other two.

 

To deal with Mikami Heiji, these three would need to use the Ancient God Power.

 

They were just outside the Tsukimi Sect. If they used Ancient God Power here, it might very well alert the Ancient God within the Sect.

 

Therefore, Lu Fan actually still planned to act himself and end Mikami Heiji with a single punch.

 

But Qin Qiu and the other two smiled, saying that over the past few days, they had mastered the method of controlling their Ancient God Power. Now, they could already control parts of the Asura King’s body to fight enemies without exposing too much Ancient God Power.

 

They had experimented this many times back at the hotel, and later even asked Lu Fan and Jin Zhan whether they had sensed any Ancient God Power fluctuations.

 

The answer they received was always no.

 

This gave the three confidence that they could mobilize an infinitesimal amount of Ancient God Power for combat without alerting the other Ancient God nearby.

 

Lu Fan recalled how the three had previously used their Ancient God Power to summon the Asura King, and indeed he had not detected it.

 

Thus, he finally felt at ease letting the three women go and fight Mikami Heiji.

 

After receiving permission, Qin Qiu and the others were delighted and proactively stepped forward.

 

Mikami Heiji had long since grown impatient while waiting on the sidelines.

 

Seeing Lu Fan’s five gathered together talking, he assumed they were discussing strategy for how to face such a powerful enemy as himself.

 

Now, with Qin Qiu and the other two walking to the front, clearly prepared to fight him.

 

This made him burst into laughter, calling out loudly. “So after discussing for so long, you’re going to have three women stand at the front!? This is hilarious! Do you really think I won’t hit women?”

 

With that, Mikami Heiji stopped wasting time and strode toward Lu Fan’s group.

 

His speed was not fast, but each step carried what he believed was a powerful oppressive force.

 

He had decided to win this match by crushing them all the way.

 

He would approach step by step, and no matter what Skills they released, he would not pause for even half a step. He would just keep going, beating them off the ring, letting them experience what it meant to be crushed, what despair truly felt like.

 

As Mikami Heiji made his move, Qin Qiu and the others also took action.

 

The three simultaneously spread their hands, and immediately, a mass of golden substance expanded from their palms, enveloping their bodies.

 

Not only that, after being wrapped in gold, the three began to fuse with each other.
