"You damned brat. I really underestimated you. But do you think that taking care of two people would finish the fight like that? You are right. Seven of us remain. And that means that we will be more cautious than ever, and we will work together to try and defeat you. You should stop letting your mouth run so wild, lest it offend the wrong people." the middle aged man grinned. Around him, the other men also nodded. They looked at me with frightening faces, and brandished their weapon. All of them formed a line and started closing in on me.
By the time they got to me, I jumped and quickly landed on the other side. But there was someone anticipating that and he already got to where I landed. I quickly used my spear to block his blade. I took a few steps back to stabilize myself. Then, I thrust the spear forward, and then let it glide to the side, following wherever the man was running off to. He blocked the spear with his blade, and I took this as an opportunity to move forward.
"You forget that there are seven of us." a voice came from behind my back. As I was taking care of this one man, I forgot about the rest. I was too concentrated on what had happened in front of me. I ducked, feeling that there was something that was going to hit me on the head. I was right. Above me, I could hear a gigantic whoosh. If that had hit me, then I would probably land in a coma. Each and every one of the attacks that these men made also had Qi laced within them, and that made these attacks painful and stronger than they were supposed to be.
I planted the spear's tail on the ground and used it as a pole to turn around quickly. I was surrounded. And this time, I had nowhere to just jump. I had to fight against all of them at once. I had to split my mind and pay equal attention to all of them. I had no choice. If they were not going to show any mercy, I was not going to show any either. Any hesitation that might have been there in me disappeared.
I gripped my spear, and the intuitive motion of the Heaven Devouring art came into play. All the attacks of the enemy could be evaded as long as I knew where they were coming from. My mind no longer did the work. My body knew what to do to avoid any harm.
I moved to the side, gracefully blocking and redirecting attacks. The Blue Dragon spear art was not that intuitive, but I knew what I had to do. I used the spear and started the third form of the art. This was the best that I could do without the shadow. I only learnt till the third form, and any other would need more practise.
Luckily, the third attack was a sweep. It was a crowd attack. As the men all lunged for me, I directed immense amounts of Qi to the spear, and just led it glide in the air. I could smell fresh blood in the air, and then something hit me.
It must have been the hammer that hit me the first time, because it felt so similar to me. I gnashed my teeth. I could bear the pain, but before I could turn around and see what had happened, someone kicked me again. I tumbled forward. I could not stabilize my footing, and I fell.
"Number 256 is eliminated." a cold voice said out loud. I looked at them all with shock. This was not the outcome that I had expected.
"You are still a kid. You need more experience to match us. It was a good fight, but you need to battle more if you want to match all of us. I admit that you are more talented, and probably have a better cultivation than we do. You have the better skills, but you have never used them in battle. That is what you did wrong. You never battled before." the middle aged man said as he turned around, facing everyone that he was in cahoots with before.
I looked down with shame. I could not believe that I lost. I thought that with the system, and the overpowered skills that I got, I would win every battle that I faced in this life. I was wrong. I grew complacent and arrogant. I needed to go back and practice some more. It was time for me to set things right again. I needed to become the strongest, and I needed to put more work into this. I needed to clear this world, and I needed to do it right.
