Chapter 49 (2/2)

The intense attention put some pressure on Xu Yi. He kept his nerves in check and opened his arms. He asked aloud, “I’ll like to find out, is there anyone who has placed a bet that I’m the victor? If there is, let me first congratulate you because you’ll profit! Come on, those who bet that I’ll win, do stand up and wave to me. When I see you, I’ll be encouraged!”

Bang!

One side of the viewing stand collapsed. Even Gao Pan nearly let his silver gun slip out of his hand.

“I’ve never seen anything more disgusting than this!”

Gao Pan felt nauseous.

At this instant, countless people stood up and waved. There were cheering Xu Yi on. It was an impressive sight.

Obviously, there were several hundred thousand spectators. Even if one percent of them had bet on Xu Yi to win, the commotion caused by these folks would cause a stir.

There were also many folks who came to join in the fun and excitement. If they had followed suit, the sun would have shaken. It would have been a stormy day for the mountains and rivers.

Gao Pan was envious. Between Xu Yi and I, it’s plainly obvious that I’m more popular. If Xu Yi can command such support, I’m sure I can do better than him a hundred fold, he emotionally thought to himself.

He began to imagine that there were ten thousand spectators rooting for him. He felt overwhelmed.

Immediately, he became the copycat version of Xu Yi. Gao Pan roared and there was complete silence. He was about to speak when his ear picked up a strong gust of wind. Subconsciously, he darted his head to avoid it. He was hit on the hand and his silver gun flung out of his hand.

That was an abrupt change!

Xu Yi had initiated his attack!

A brain wave had struck Xu Yi to greet the crowd and stir up the audience.

He had already contemplated his move. He knew he had to leverage on his strengths and be preemptive.

He had swift moves and powerful strength. Those were his assets. He lacked martial prowess in comparison to his opponent. That was his weakness.

He only knew the Ox Demon Strong Fist, which he had used for training, and he lacked attack techniques.

Needless to say, the gist of this duel session would be to take his opponent by surprise and fight close distance. He could not afford to allow his opponent to overcome him using martial prowess.

The silver gun in Gao Pan’s hand was the first target of attack.

Between the two warriors, one had a strong weapon, and the other challenged with empty fists. He had reckoned that his opponent must have been an expert in guns, and hence, Xu Yi had to stop him from using the gun.

Therefore he deliberately teased the audience and got close to Gao Pan. At the same time, he was checking out Gao Pan’s blindspots so that he could time his opportune attacks.

Who would have predicted that Gao Pan got himself hot-blooded faster and deeper than the audience. He had besotted himself into a wonderful rhapsody.

That was the opportunity that Xu Yi had been waiting for. His light body and swift fists moved in tandem.

What a Gao Pan! He had been through countless duels, and his battling had become his survival instinct. He was trained to be on the alert even when there were no killing threats. He moved his head half an inch and Xu Yi missed.

Subsequently, Xu Yi struck out with both fists. Gao Pan avoided his head. His hand was a bit slow. Xu Yi was then able to hit the gun. The strong force caused the gun to vibrate, and it fell out of his hand.

Wow!

There was a thunderous explosion on the viewing stand. If the explosion was real, Xu Yi would have perished.
