The Story Never Ends
Chapter 51 - The Conclusion

"Damn, I am injured." Daxton coughed out some blood. He then wiped it with his sleeves.

"Even my internal organs are shaking. If I hadn't trained my body hard, then I would have surely lost." Thinking about this he got really angry.

He looked at Brixton with anger, "You really impressed me. But this is it. I will go all out now."

"Blood Churning"

The moment he said, all the blood inside his body started to burn with his Qi. A blood-colored aura started to come out from his body. His blood vessels were seen from outside the body. White smoke started to come out from the pores of his skin.

Feeling the danger emitting from Daxton, Brixton also used his secret art.

"Earth Fortress"

He used a large amount of his Qi and armor made of rocks started forming around his body. The armor was brown in color and covered his whole body.

Isla stood up excitedly, "They won't have any Qi remaining after these moves. This battle is going to end soon."

Indeed, as Isla said, both went all out and clashed against each other without caring for their defense. They used full power in each of their moves. The arena started cracking.

Seeing this, Edgar exclaimed, "It looks like their power is nearing an early-stage Golden Core state."

"Indeed." The elder of Brixton looked really nervous.

The fight went on for a while and both of them separated. There were lots of cracks in the earth armor of Brixton. Wounds were seen and blood was spilling from them.

Daxton was also not in a good condition. His robe was tattered and a big wound was seen in his abdomen. It looked like he got punched there.

"Let's end this with one move," said Daxton.

"Umm," Brixton also agreed.

"Blood Saber Technique: Final Move"

The moment Daxton said this, his saber turned dark red. He came towards Brixton and swung his saber.

Seeing this, Brixton didn't hesitate and shouted, "Avalanche"

A big green rock formed in his hand. This rock was at least thrice the size of the previous one and it looked much harder. He carried it with his right hand.

"Come." He also moved towards Daxton and smacked him with his right hand.

The red saber collided with the green rock. A huge shockwave was produced and the explosion took place. Dust and debris scattered everywhere. The arena couldn't take it anymore and the middle part of it cracked.

Seeing this everyone stood up and wanted to see the result.

In the stands, Edgar smiled, "It looks like we won this one, Hugh"

Hugh was the name of that elder. He looked at the arena and smiled, "Even though Brixton lost, he really impressed me. But your disciple is always one step further than mine."

Edgar laughed, "Indeed, it was a close battle. But it looks like we are gonna take first place again."

Hugh had nothing to say, so he simply congratulated Edgar. Other elders also congratulated Edgar trying to show some courtesy. It was always good to have a proper relationship with the strongest sect.

When the dust settled, the disciples could finally see what had happened. Their robes were completely torn, and only the important parts were covered. Their whole body was covered with injuries and blood was dripping everywhere. Brixton was on his knees with his right hand near the chest of Daxton. But Daxton's saber was already at his neck.

"You won again." After saying this Brixton passed out.

Daxton was about to move and return but suddenly he coughed out a large amount of blood. He couldn't take it anymore and he fell on his knees.

The other disciples of their sect came to the arena and prepared to take them away.

Before they could leave, the middle-aged lady came to the arena again and announced, "The first round goes to the Blood Saber Sect."

"Do you want to continue?" She looked at the disciples of the Earth Fortress Sect.

"No, we give up." The disciples bowed and carried Brixton on their backs and took them away. Brixton had already announced that they would admit defeat if he couldn't beat Daxton. So, it would have been a shame if they turned back on their words. So, they admitted defeat.

The disciples of the Blood Saber sect also carried Daxton and left.

Seeing them leave, she announced, "The Earth Fortress sect couldn't beat the Blood Saber Sect. So, the rankings remain unchanged. Now, let the challenges continue. But before that let me fix the arena." She threw some materials in the air and used some strange abilities. The arena was restored in a few minutes. She simply left after fixing it.

"Is she an elder from the Northern Artifact Sect?"

The crowd were discussing it and buzzing with excitement after the battle just now.. But when they heard that they could start challenging themselves, they got nervous.
