Chapter 922 Showing One’s True Colors
Everyone present widened their eyes, staring at the huge crater below.
Just ten minutes ago, there was a complete fighting platform there.
Using pure physical strength to turn the fighting platform into a crater dozens of meters deep… this exceeded everyone’s cognitive boundaries.
But the scene just now was witnessed clearly.
Method Yu punched toward Jiang Dao, causing the entire venue to collapse.
But now, both people had disappeared.
In the crater, there was only rising dust. Besides that, there was no sound.
The chief referee, who had retreated more than a hundred meters away, looked at the crater before him, then glanced around, scanning the teams from other sects.
The Hundred Sects Competition had been held for more than a dozen times, but this kind of accident was happening for the first time.
At this point, this once-in-a-decade sect competition could no longer continue.
As for how to handle the aftermath, it would depend on the intentions of the major sects.
At least now, they could disperse.
“Everyone, due to unexpected circumstances, today’s Hundred Sects Competition ends here. As for subsequent matters, we’ll have to wait until all sects discuss to know the results,” the chief referee contemplated briefly, then announced using qi to amplify his voice.
There wasn’t much noise from the audience.
Most of them had traveled from various regions to North Capital just to watch the once-in-a-decade Hundred Sects Competition.
If the competition were canceled due to other circumstances, they would certainly be full of complaints.
But this time, everyone maintained an unusual silence.
Because they had come to North Capital to see exciting matches… and the battle between Purple Flame Palace and Frost Cold Palace just now had been exciting to the extreme.
Compared to this real combat between the two sides, the matches between other sects seemed as meaningless as children playing house.
Of course, the process was indeed dangerous, and even they as spectators were almost affected.
However, this was also a different kind of thrilling experience. Since everyone was ultimately safe, it would be a good memory.
After the chief referee announced the situation, many spectators began to leave.
Many others were discussing in low voices about the identity of the male disciple who represented Frost Cold Palace.
“Hey, why do I feel like the man who represented Frost Cold Palace just now is the same Method Yu who caused a commotion at the Wang family some time ago!?” a young man from a North Capital family whispered.
“It seems so! I noticed earlier that he looked very young, and when he fought, his body emitted a golden light… these two characteristics are exactly the same as the legendary divine person Method Yu!” someone next to him replied.
“But if it’s Method Yu, why would he represent a small sect from the Huaibei region? And judging by his ruthless attacks, he seems to have a deep grudge against Purple Flame Palace…” another person joined the discussion.
The three discussed for a while but didn’t reach many conclusions.
However, they were quite certain about Method Yu’s identity.
After all, besides Method Yu, there probably wasn’t anyone else who looked so young yet possessed such terrifying strength.
…
“Master, shouldn’t we leave now?” Due to the earlier tremors, Liu Liansha’s face was still pale, but she had recovered considerably as she asked.
The Frost Cold Palace team had retreated to just below the audience stands.
Su Lengyun looked at the crater ahead, her beautiful eyes flickering.
At the moment the ground collapsed, she sensed Method Yu’s aura rapidly leaving the area.
“Brother Yu…” Su Lengyun’s beautiful face showed signs of worry.
She wasn’t concerned about Method Yu’s safety; she was worried about his mental state.
When he was brutally killing those people from Purple Flame Palace on the fighting platform, the aura around Method Yu, as well as his eyes, were abnormal.
Especially when Jiang Dao said those final words, his expression became even more disturbing.
This was the source of Su Lengyun’s unease.
…
On the other side, Murong Jian turned to look at Yuan Jing, then at Yuan Hao on the ground.
Yuan Hao was still unconscious.
“Since the Hundred Sects Competition has been suspended, let’s leave. Yuan Hao needs treatment,” Yuan Jing said.
“Mm.” Murong Jian nodded.
“Senior Brother, I think I know that person’s identity now,” a Dragon-Slaying Pavilion disciple stepped forward at this moment, his expression shocked as he spoke softly.
“Who is he?” Murong Jian turned to ask.
“He… is very likely Method Yu, who recently shocked North Capital!” This Dragon-Slaying Pavilion disciple said with widened eyes.
“Method Yu…”
Murong Jian’s eyes moved slightly, narrowing.
…
Jiangnan, at the top of Tianji Mountain.
Just like the last time he came, the mountaintop was overgrown with weeds and shrouded in mist.
Among the weeds stood a weathered tombstone.
Method Yu, covered in blood, walked to the tombstone, stood for several seconds, then sat down directly.
“I’ve eliminated the remnants of Purple Flame Palace,” Method Yu said, looking at the tombstone before him. “Actually, I didn’t want them to die so quickly, especially that Jiang Dao. But once I started fighting, I couldn’t control myself, and ended up killing them all.”
After speaking, Method Yu stared at the tombstone in front of him, opened his mouth, but hesitated.
“Before dying, Jiang Dao said something. Of course, this was clearly his last struggle, said just to make me feel bad,” Method Yu tilted his head, frowning as he spoke. “But honestly, I personally think what he said might actually be true.”
“The disciples of Heavenly Dao Gate, when facing desperate situations, would definitely think of me. Thinking of me, they would inevitably hold onto hope, until the final moment arrived.”
“As for whether they would hate me for not appearing before their deaths, this point… I think some definitely would, which is very reasonable.”
Method Yu spoke as if talking about something completely unrelated to himself, his face expressionless.
“After all, when they chose to join Heavenly Dao Gate, it was because they believed in Heavenly Dao Gate, which means they trusted me. Protecting their personal safety was Heavenly Dao Gate’s responsibility, and my responsibility.”
“Including their families, they must hate me very much.”
“Putting myself in their shoes, these emotional conclusions are very easy to deduce.”
After speaking, Method Yu fell silent for a while, then sighed heavily, scratching his hair, his expression pained.
He had once hoped to completely seal off this memory, never to recall it again.
But in reality, the more deliberately he tried to do so, the clearer this memory became.
Especially after Jiang Dao said those words, when Method Yu closed his eyes, he could recall the faces of some disciples from Heavenly Dao Gate back then.
These faces were young and innocent, with infinitely bright futures.
This matter was the only wound in his heart now.
He had thought that eliminating the remnants of Purple Flame Palace would stitch up the wound, but in reality, it only tore it open further.
Method Yu clearly understood the intention behind Jiang Dao’s final words, but he just couldn’t avoid this knife aimed at his heart.
“Enough talk, let me just sit here for a while,” Method Yu said, looking at the tombstone in front of him.
…
What happened at the Hundred Sects Competition was witnessed by tens of thousands of spectators, so it inevitably spread.
Among various rumors, a small portion of people suggested that the male disciple from Frost Cold Palace might be Method Yu, who had recently shocked North Capital.
And the words of this small portion of people quickly fermented and spread.
Method Yu, again Method Yu!
This man had recently gone alone to the First Family, caused a commotion, defeated the elders of the Wang family, and made them kneel and beg for mercy, shocking the martial arts world of Yanxia.
And this time, he mysteriously appeared on the fighting platform of the Hundred Sects Competition, brutally slaughtering his opponents, making his name resound throughout the sect world.
This person had repeatedly appeared in major venues, performing actions that everyone would remember for a lifetime… truly showing his sharp edge!
Such behavior was extremely high-profile!
What was his purpose? Or was he simply displaying his strength?
Nobody knew.
But in the minds of the vast majority, the impression of Method Yu was not very good.
No one likes a high-profile person who doesn’t follow rules, even if his strength is indeed formidable.
After all, in everyone’s mind, the most top-tier experts throughout history were generally humble and low-key.
This Method Yu jumping around so much would sooner or later take a fall!
Of course, while thinking this way, no one dared to publish any disrespectful remarks about Method Yu on the surface.
Many families had already distributed portraits of Method Yu within their clans, instructing their members that if they encountered this person outside, they must never provoke him.
