Chapter 586 - STRIKING BACK (2/2)
Unfortunately, she did not have time to rest.
Her second task was to protect Jiang Yinuo when everything fell apart. She could not take a moment to take a breath before leaving the scene. Without further delay, she picked the dead Guardian's sword and rushed off after the other two.
In the Arena, the crowd was finally stirred up enough with the desire to fight back. When the men in black came in for their coup and Jiang Yinuo launched her offence, they did not take it seriously. They believed that nothing would really happen to them.
However, the death of one of their prominent members of the martial community was dead. And he had fallen right before their eyes.
The fighting fervour of Martial Island was reignited. Even though they did not have assault weapons, they had exceptional intrinsic martial strength. Moreover, they still had strength in numbers. They could still come out on top and with minimal casualties.
Murmurs began in the crowd as people exchanged ideas on how to counterattack.
At that moment, three choppers began circling the airspace above the Arena. Those with good eyesight could see the high-definition cameras pointing at the crowds. Moreover, reporters were recording their observations carefully.
The disruption from the helicopter noise finally provided an opportunity for the people who wanted to strike back. The short distraction found quite a number of the men in black without their guns after surprise attacks.
Within a few moments, the entire Arena was in chaos. Gunshots joined the choppers in creating an unpleasant cacophony of noise. Moreover, the sounds of people shouting and screaming as everyone fought filled the air.
Jiang Yinuo was still on the stage, and she should have been safe from the chaos. However, the competitors, who were still below the platform, suddenly flooded the centre stage. They intended to challenge Jiang Yinuo during the mess.
Perhaps, in their minds, there was no better way to prove that they were the best than beating the cocky girl who dared stage a coup on the Triennial Championships Opening Night.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yinuo was not someone who would back down from a challenge. She lifted her sword and faced the overwhelming crowd with a teasing smile on her beautiful face. Like a butterfly, she defended and attacked with grace.
As the chaos reigned, the people of Martial Island finally saw their saving grace.
The two special Guardians who survived the altercation with Hu Lei arrived at the Arena. Cheers rose from the battlefield which was only meant to be a platform for watching a fun tournament. The Guardians were surprised by the chaotic scene, but they did not show it.
Immediately, they were attacked by assault firearms. However, they did not sustain injuries due to their vigilance. Their keen eyes and quick reflexes allowed them to respond to the immediate situation and begin taking out the men in black.
In another part of Martial Island, Zhong Feng finished combing through all the information and uploaded incriminating evidence to appropriate authorities. He also did not forget to create backup copies for himself as a habit.
As he left the building using the credentials provided by Taiki, he called Hu Lei.
