Chapter 80 (2/2)

‘How could this be?

‘My previous attack would have made a hole even in the city wall!

‘How was it fully countered just like that?’

Zhou Yong also saw the horrifying scene when in just a short moment, he was the only one out of the four left standing. The longsword which he had thrust out came to an abrupt stop as he stood there, looking at Fang Xingjian with his eyes fixed, and at a loss.

Fang Xingjian waved his hand and said, “Come, I’ve especially saved you for last.”

Zhou Yong’s face trembled. He suppressed the fury and terror in his heart and said “I admit defeat, I admit defeat. This should be fine, right?!”

The corner of Fang Xingjian’s lips curved up ever so slightly. Caressing his longsword, he said, “It’s not. It’s only over when I say it’s over.”

The next moment, he was already beside Zhou Yong, just like a ghost. He had not even used the Killing technique Supreme Mistwind Sword, merely ordinary sword moves, as he slashed towards Zhou Yong.

The latter clumsily fought back against Fang Xingjian’s seemingly causal strikes, which were coming at the speed of lightning.

Jack, Anthony, and Robert stared at this disorderly mess, mouths agape. They looked at Ferdinand, Carter and Boris who were all lying on the ground, spewing blood, exchanged glances, and then felt secretly thankful that they had not charged against Xingjian earlier.

In fact, not much time had passed since they had gone through their transitions, and their attributes were mostly between 30 to 40 points. So how could they be Fang Xingjian’s match? Putting aside the Killing technique and Boundaries Negation, Fang Xingjian was able to crush them with the prowess of his attributes alone.

On the cliff, Kirst’s City Lord broke out in laughter, “Interesting, this is truly interesting. Weren’t you guys asking me what I’ll be betting?

“This Fang Xingjian broke off his own arms before the fight has even started. He is truly so arrogant that it’s cute.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll bet that he’ll definitely lose within twenty minutes. Now, since all of us are betting on different outcomes, the winner will be able to win everyone else’s items on the bet.”

Netherworld Valley’s Tina, pale-faced, said, “Is this Fang Xingjian an idiot?

“Losing half the team before the fight has even started?

“No, no, this doesn’t count. What he’s doing is against the rules. I’m not betting anymore.”

Although Fang Xingjian’s performance came as a great surprise, his opponents were merely novices who had completed their transitions only one or two months ago. He had won even without using his Supreme Mistwind Sword and Boundaries Negation, so his display wasn’t too astonishing.

On the contrary, leaving himself with only three team mates before the competition had even started, no one present did feel that Fang Xingjian would have a winning chance anymore.

“Hmph, thinking of going back on your words?” Kirst’s City Lord let out a cold snort and said, “Headmaster Jackson. Were Fang Xingjian’s actions against the academy’s regulations?”

The Headmaster smiled bitterly and shook his head, replying, “In the valley, as long as one does not deploy deadly techniques, one can do as he wishes.”

“Then did he break the competition’s rules?”

This time around, the Headmaster’s tone was even more bitter, “There’s no regulation stating that they are not allowed to raise their hands against people from their own team.”

How could the people in the academy who had decided on the rules of the competition ever think that there would be people who would deliberately raise their hands against people from their own team?

“Then that’s that.” Kirst’s City Lord smiled, satisfied, “Since he hasn’t broken any of the rules, from beginning to end, then the bet should still be valid. Don’t you agree?”

While saying this, an overwhelming pressure was already smashing towards Tina. This Kirst’s City Lord was also a Conferred Knight, an expert who had gone through the second transition.
