Chapter 188 Killing Intent (Bonus chapter for Fugui'er Wutong's donation)
Soon, amidst their casual conversation, the battle was about to begin.
As the audience gradually arrived, media from various places also came to conduct interviews.
The two competitors then took to the stage.
Fang Ping was as flamboyant as ever, walking out in an eye-catching outfit. Lu Hao immediately noticed the largest characters on his clothes: Yuanfang Company. This was a blatant attempt to undermine his own company. Unbelievable.
Fang Ping's business acumen is absolutely top-notch.
Li Changsheng's face darkened. Fang Ping hadn't mentioned doing this before. If they really lost, Magic Martial Arts University would lose all face.
Compared to Ling Yiyi across the street, who was wearing an ordinary martial arts uniform, Fang Ping stood out like a peacock displaying its plumage.
Across from her, Ling Yiyi held an axe, and it was hard to imagine why she had chosen an axe that was not much smaller than herself.
Ling Yiyi glared angrily at Fang Ping, who was acting as arrogantly as a celebrity.
When he saw Fang Ping looking over, he even puffed out his chest.
"Young Master Ling, please don't hold back!"
Fang Ping opened his mouth with a smile and said softly.
But Ling Yiyi on the other side was no ordinary person and could naturally hear Fang Ping's words.
This made Ling Yiyi even angrier. She glared at Fang Ping, determined to beat him to his knees and beg for mercy because of those words.
Once on stage, Lu Hao also saw Fang Ping's playground. That kid is truly hateful; he speaks ill of others to their faces.
However, this is also a kind of strategic wisdom, especially the moment one steps onto the stage.
The silent duel began. Ling Yiyi was enraged by Fang Ping's words, and her anger could influence her performance in the subsequent battle. Even the slightest influence could be fatal, since the chances of winning for both of them were currently 50/50.
The two stood there, without a referee, nor needing one.
They are all protected by grandmasters who will take action if anything unexpected happens.
As soon as the two finished their pre-match trash talk, Ling Yiyi took out her giant axe, stepped forward, and leaped into the air. She cleaved the axe downwards with a burst of blood energy, as if she were about to split the void. The strong wind that followed frightened the surrounding onlookers, who all retreated in fear, their faces turning pale.
Fang Ping naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. He activated his Cloud Step technique and dodged the attack to the side.
The blow slammed into the arena, thankfully it was a hastily assembled E-grade alloy ring, otherwise it would have been blasted apart.
This also left a rather large opening in the ring.
Fang Ping used his Cloud Step technique and appeared behind Ling Yiyi in the blink of an eye.
He slashed horizontally at Ling Yiyi's back, yelling, "You're asking for death!"
Ling Yiyi let out a low shout, activated an unknown footwork technique, immediately took a step forward, then turned around and chopped down hard with the axe in her hand.
Fang Ping continued to parry, attack, and parry.
Although Ling Yiyi's giant axe was heavy, she wielded it with great skill, managing to block Fang Ping's attack with just a single axe.
The two exchanged blows for about ten moves, sparks flying everywhere.
"Have you had enough fun?" Ling Yiyi snorted after blocking an attack.
"I was just testing you out, seeing how good you are. What if I unleash my ultimate move and hurt you too badly? If you want to see my true skills, then I'll show you—"
As he spoke, Fang Ping moved forward in one step and arrived on top of Ling Yiyi's head.
"Six consecutive kills!"
The longsword, gleaming with a blood-red light, slashed towards Ling Yiyi at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
It appears to have little power, melting into things silently and seemingly powerless, but the energy and blood within the blade's aura are compressed to the extreme.
Ling Yiyi, however, was no longer going to sit idly by and wait for her death. She released the axe handle with her right hand and threw a punch to meet the attack.
"Puff, puff, puff"
Several loud bangs rang out in quick succession, and within a few seconds, the two had clashed several times.
The next moment, Ling Yiyi swung her axe upwards with her left hand.
"Bang"
Another loud bang rang out, and Fang Ping was sent flying backward.
He landed on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. There was a noticeable bloodstain on his left shoulder, from which blood was seeping out.
Ling Yiyi's right fist was hanging down, with several knife marks on it, but it wasn't a big problem.
"Hmph, so this is your trump card, the Six-Hit Combo. Although the power of this Six-Hit Combo gradually increases, it is not seamless. The gaps in between are openings." Ling Yiyi landed to the side, looked at Fang Ping on the ground, and said disdainfully.
Lu Hao, watching from the stage, realized that this was indeed Fang Ping's weakness. He had indeed reached the level of ultimate techniques through his combat skills, even surpassing them, but he had to accumulate too many attacks beforehand.
Just like Lu Hao had suffered losses in this regard before, he basically stopped using advanced combat techniques in later battles. He only used the most basic combat techniques, but they were at the level of true ultimate moves. Every move could unleash the desired blood and qi, so he no longer needed to be afraid of people like Ling Yiyi who were staring at him from the middle.
After all, this kind of combat tactic usually relies on stacking and exploding attacks to achieve a super-strong burst of energy, which is not as good as those who have truly mastered the ultimate moves.
However, Lu Hao looked at Ling Yiyi on the stage and was speechless. Is this what happens when villains die from talking too much?
Did you see Fang Ping say anything after the battle started? And you're still lecturing him here. Why didn't you press your advantage and defeat Fang Ping in one fell swoop? Instead, you're pointing out his shortcomings here.
This is the invincible path of the third rank, okay? Whoever loses will lose their invincible momentum, and yet you're here chatting about it.
If it were Lu Hao, he wouldn't be so kind as to chat here; he would have just slashed him with a knife, striking while the iron was hot to finish him off.
Fang Ping, who was on the ground, slowly got up, recovered his energy, and without saying anything, he flashed and reappeared in front of Ling Yiyi.
With a sharp gaze and a burst of mental energy, he attacked Ling Yiyi. As for Lu Hao's advice not to use mental energy, he knew that in this situation, it was unavoidable.
The mental energy instantly attacked Ling Yiyi. The next moment, Ling Yiyi froze on the spot, as if she had been shaken by the mental energy.
Fang Ping naturally wouldn't let this rare opportunity slip by, and slashed at Ling Yiyi with his sword.
The next second, Ling Yiyi's dazed eyes suddenly brightened, and most people would just think that Ling Yiyi suddenly couldn't look directly at them.
But in the eyes of martial artists, Ling Yiyi was now exuding murderous aura, just like a demon who had crawled up from hell.
Some weak, lower-ranking martial artists were so frightened they wet themselves.
The mental energy that had been attacking Ling Yiyi shattered at that moment, and the instantaneous impact also shocked Fang Ping, leaving his mind completely blank.
The slash that was about to strike Ling Yiyi stopped, and Ling Yiyi threw a punch, her right fist striking the void, instantly knocking Fang Ping to the ground again.
Seeing this, Lu Hao couldn't help but feel a little smug. He had kindly reminded Fang Ping not to use his mental power before.
"Those who do not heed the advice of elders will suffer the consequences." When Lu Hao first saw Ling Yiyi, he noticed the murderous intent hidden in her heart.
