"I can't see clearly! I can't see anything! Can someone tell me what's happening? I feel like I'm going blind!"
"What are you panicking for? Do you think others can see if you can't? It's not like he can blow away the dust!"
Everyone was incredibly anxious as the dust slowly dispersed. There were two more figures on the ground. Edward lay on the ground, covered in dust. He was not moving at all, looking like he had lost his life.
Chris was half on the ground, with one hand against it to support himself. His breathing was erratic. After an intense bout of coughing, he spat out a mouthful of blood. At that moment, his hair was completely disheveled, and his eyes had lost their color. It looked like he could die at any moment.
Fane remained standing on the spot. His back was straight as he coldly looked toward Chris.
The scene caused a chill in all the warriors in the viewing area. They no longer knew what to say. In truth, they had guessed that this would be the result, but witnessing it was a different matter entirely.
Fane's strength had exceeded their imaginations. He had actually held back before this. Even when the two of them had put everything into the attack, he had still easily dealt with them alone. It was hard to tell if one of his opponents was even alive, while the other was barely sitting up on the ground. It caused everyone to shudder at the sight.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"I can't believe Fane was not threatened at all even though the two of them worked together. I finally understand why Fane was so easygoing before this. If I had the skills, I would be even more arrogant!"
"What are you saying?! Arrogance is when you can't back it up! Does Fane not have the skills? We call that acting normally!"
The Purple Cloud Pavilion and the Nimbus Alliance had already fallen completely silent. All of them stared at the scroll, stunned. They were incredibly saddened, but there was nothing they could do about it!
It was all done for. They had no chance of turning the tables at all. In the end, the winner had not been Chris or Edward. No one could believe that even the two of them working together had failed to beat Fane. That had shattered all expectations!
An inner disciple from the Purple Cloud Pavilion said, "We're done for! We're all done for! What do we say when we go back? We should have stopped him before he took part. The elders will definitely blame us!"
Pone
Another disciple next to him sighed, saying with a defeated expression, "The punishments will just be for the public eye. We'll definitely be targeted in secret. Don't forget much the first elder loved Chris We'll be okay in the Whirling World, but once we come out and return to the real world, we won't be able to get out of this unscathed!"
"It wasn't our fault though. Chris was the one who said he wanted to take part. Were we supposed to stop him with our lives? Would we have been able to stop him?"
"We would not! So what could we have done? Even if the first elder wants someone should blame, he should blame Fane. Why would he target us?!"
The disciple that voiced out the
severity of the matter said with a frown, "You're looking at things too simply. No matter how despicable Fane is, Fane's still from Hestia Continent. The warriors there can't come out, and we can't go in either. If he wants to kill Fane, we would need to use the local forces.
"It's not as simple as that. With Fane's extraordinary talents, there has to be some expert protecting him. It's impossible for us to kill Fane! The elder will know this too. He would have nowhere to vent his frustrations but us.
"Furthermore, it's not like the first elder has never done something like this. Something similar happened before this. The first elder couldn't get the culprit so he threw all his anger at the disciples. During that time, all of the inner disciples were incredibly careful, but the first elder still managed to find reasons to compound their punishments."
