416 Alex vs Zhou Kingdom Part II (1/2)
”Hiss-!”
The people sucked a cold breath. They just witnessed the death of a 10-Star Martial Lord. And he was killed easily by an 8-Star Martial Lord to boot.
Alex never saw him as an opponent. After all, if he truly released his full power, he might even defeat a Martial King, let alone a fake Martial Lord. And it was not considering his Fire Element and Array. He might even best Xiang Bai if he used all of his repertoires, albeit he had yet to know the usage of Soul, which might be useful in a battle… probably.
Even so, from others' perspectives, Alex killing Xian Ming easily blew their mind. The arena turned into an uproar once more. It was not like Letizia, a 9-Star Martial Lord, defeating Mahiir, an 'elite' 10-Star Martial Lord. It was far more ridiculous than that. Little did they know, this fight was only a fight between a 'Monster' 8-Star and a 'fake' 10-Star.
”What was that?”
”Did my eyes play me? I just witnessed Xian Ming was killed by Alexander Sirius in an instant.”
”Is he truly an 8-Star Martial Lord?”
It was a major occurrence. Normally, Alex would die under the onslaught of Xian Ming, but this event turned into something ridiculous.
In the Heavenly Sword Camp,
The third elder was a bit confused about this. Alex was powerful indeed, but the fact that his opponent went down easily, it made him baffled. ”This… Is this because of Blood Pills?”
”I assume, yes.” Charya nodded. ”Alex said because of blood pills, those people are like 9-Star Martial Lords or something. And compared to that 'monster', they stand no chance.”
Charya even specifically addressed Alex as a monster. She knew she could not win against Alex anymore. In fact, she might go down after a few rounds.
”That means, we can win this easily?”
”I don't know.” Charya shook her head.
”You don't know?” Dolf looked at her with a complicated expression. ”What do you mean?”
”Alex said there is still a possibility of them using the Berserk Pill. I am sure you already know the effect of that pill, right?” Charya looked at the other elders. This was the reason why he panicked when only Elder Dolf and Alex did not panic at the start.
”This… Although we have the information about it, we have not seen it yet, so we could not imagine it.”
”I will tell you Putri's experience since this is not in her report. She has seen someone using that pill, and to put it simply, a 9-Star Martial Lord almost killed the only 10-Star from the Southern Kingdom if he was not helped by someone back then.”
”Bima… You mean that Bima?” The first elder asked.
”Yeah.” Charya nodded.
”If I am not wrong, Bima's strength is above me back then, albeit it is only a slight difference. However, to think he might die under a 9-Star Martial Lord's hand if he was not helped… This…” Elder Dolf said as his expression darkened.
”Yeah, you are right. And his opponents are 10-Star Martial Lords. If the berserk pill can help a fake 9-Star Martial Lord kill Bima, what kind of thing would a fake 10-Star Martial Lord be?”
They sweatdropped. They imagined a 10-Star Martial Lord had a strength of 1-Star Martial King, if not fake Martial King for a few minutes. And Alex would be under their onslaught.
”However, there will be a high chance they would not use it. Still, we don't know how the matches will progress, and he must be thinking about that too..” Charya said while looking at Alex.
On the arena,
Alex wanted to end the match as soon as possible, so they could not think about using the Blood Pill against him. He just realized they could just lie even if they chose to do that. They could say, 'This is a new Rage Pill that our kingdom developed.' And since most Mount Hua Sect's people in this tournament were killed, including their sect master and the ones that were still alive already went back to the sect. No one would try to clarify it as Mount Hua Sect would be the most powerful and trusted one in this aspect.
Alex said, ”Next!”
On the Zhou Kingdom's side, they were gnashing their teeth, looking at Alex's arrogance.
”What shall we do? What is his power?”
”I don't know, but it seems his strength is quite powerful as Xian Ming could not do anything.”
”Then, we can't fight him in close combat.”
”That's right. As long as we spam our Martial Art, we could force him to use it too. That way, we can't stop him.”
”Alright, we will go with this plan until we get another plan. So, who will go next?”
”I will go.” The volunteer was a middle-aged man with white hair. He held a giant ax with his muscular body.
He then walked to the arena as he glanced at Alex. ”You are strong, aren't you? To think an 8-Star Martial Lord could kill one of us with a cheap trick. But, I won't underestimate you like Xian Ming, so your cheap trick won't work on me.”
Alex looked at him with a weird expression. He did not use cheap tricks at all.
The middle-aged man released his powerful Axe Domain. It was a fifty meter Axe Intent. Compared to the usual 10-Star Martial Lord, his Domain Was a bit small. Alex also released his Sword Domain and Spear Domain. However, Alex decided to hold back and used 50-meter domains.
He did this because he wanted to make them think their power difference was not big, so there was no need to use their Berserk Pill. If Alex cornered them too much, he was afraid they would use the Berserk Pill. Of course, Alex was not scared of the Berserk Pill. He just wanted to win this fight without having any troublesome situation.
Because of this, Alex did not say anything to him and immediately looked at the announcer.
”Match Start!”
”Hmph!” The middle-aged man snorted as he immediately charged toward Alex. ”If it is about strength, then I have my pride in my strength.”
