C52 (2/2)

After the metal door closed behind him, Kong Shanren quickly entered into the state. His body crouched, the shield in his left hand blocked his entire body, and the dagger in his right hand was hidden behind the shield. The tip of the blade was constantly changing its position, ready to strike at any time according to the opponent's condition. He was not very big to begin with, and with such a curled up body, he was hidden behind the shield like a turtle in its shell.

When Xu Keding saw this, he deeply sighed in his heart. The previous Zi was like a ferocious tiger that came out of the mountains, and while scaring the enemy out of their guts, it might also be able to arouse a hint of desire to resist. But facing an opponent like Kong Shanren, he had no idea where to start, and was even at a loss of what to do.

The monster had already picked up the battleax on the ground, and slowly walked to Kong Shanren's side. It looked at him from around ten meters away, as though it was thinking about how to deal with him.

After a short while, the monster suddenly took a step forward, and raised the battleax in its hands high up, smashing down towards Kong Shanren's shield, it actually wanted to use a strong attack to break Kong Shanren's defense.

Xu Keding could not help but sneer. Kong Shanren's waist was as thick as a person's legs, and with the power of the shield, let alone this monster, even if he were to throw a stone millstone that was a few hundred kilograms, he would not be able to break this fellow's defense.

It was exactly as Xu Keding had expected at the beginning. The monster had struck more than ten axes consecutively, but aside from leaving a few white marks on Kong Shanren's shield, it did not achieve anything. The monster roared again and again. Its voice was clearly filled with anger. It was obvious that it was already getting angry.

At this point, even the Tenth Tiger King who had been maintaining his composure all this while started to reveal a smile. When the opponent's energy was running out, it was time for Kong Shanren to counterattack. Once he found a good opportunity, the steel blade in his hand would definitely be fatal!

However, the monster did not give Kong Shanren the chance to retaliate. After roaring a few times, it continued to wave its battleax and smash itself onto Kong Shanren's shield. However, the single-handed axe had already been gripped vertically with both hands, even starting to jump up, using the momentum to assist him in the air.

Xu Keding's heart was set, although he could not see Kong Shanren's expression, but everyone was born into the same line of sight, and knew that this was the last struggle of the opponent, as long as Kong Shanren could hold on through this round, it would be time for his counterattack.

But Kong Shanren could not hold on.

The onlookers were unable to understand how powerful the force he was bearing was. His feet were already smashed into the ground. If the monster continued to attack him, he might even be buried alive! Moreover, his left arm was already starting to tremble. The continuous bombardment caused him to be on guard for not a single moment, not even daring to relax. Even though he had used a heavy shield to protect his body, the left half of his body was still numbed by the force transmitted through the shield. Even his throat was slightly sweet, and the feeling of his stomach churning was getting stronger and stronger. He was afraid that if another round came, even if he didn't get buried alive, he would still die from the shock.

Kong Shanren knew that he could no longer defend. Who knew how long this monster could last, when its ankle was smashed into the ground, even if it wanted to counterattack, it would have lost the chance to do so. It could only become a live target.

Thinking about that, Kong Shanren's eyes squinted, he stared straight at the monster, and when it swung its axe again, Kong Shanren saw a chance to push the giant shield away. He wanted to fight it head on, and use his shield to fight the battleax head on! As long as he pushed the battleax away, the blade in his right hand would be like a venomous snake spitting its tongue at the opponent, and it would definitely burst open the opponent's stomach!

The moment the battleax fell, Kong Shanren suddenly stood up and rushed towards it. He waved the shield in his left hand forcefully and smashed it towards the axe. Puchi! At the same time, his right hand finally swung out, slashing the steel blade diagonally to the left from the right. This attack's timing, distance, and strength could be said to be perfect. It was as if the monster was being slashed by Kong Shanren.

The crowd in the corridor almost shouted out their greetings again, but this time, the monster didn't give them any chance to retaliate. The battleax practically ignored the strength of the heavy shield and directly smashed down onto Kong Shanren's face with its heavy shield!

Under this one strike, Kong Shanren's entire body was sent flying horizontally, and only after flying for a good ten meters did he land on the ground with a plop.

When the guards of the Messenger of God pulled the monster away and lifted their shields, everyone exclaimed. Not only was Kong Shanren's left arm severely deformed, his entire head had also deformed. His neck had twisted at an extremely unnatural angle, and fresh blood flowed out from his eyes and nose.

This time, everyone was completely stunned, not only was Kong Shanren, who was known for his brute force and defense, killed with a single strike, but it was also because the monster had a set of tricks up its sleeves. In order to make Kong Shanren reveal an opening, it had actually made a series of feints and even made an angry face. The moment Kong Shanren took the initiative to attack, it would reveal its true killing move and ability, killing him with one strike!

There was strength, there was martial skills, there was strategy. Who among the crowd present could possibly be a match for such a monster?

”Which general would like to take the field?” Messenger of God stood up again and asked. Xu Keding simply did not have the courage to challenge them. He stole a glance, and all the other officers similarly lowered their heads. No one dared to raise their eyes to look at Messenger of God.

After waiting for a moment, and seeing that no one replied, Messenger of God smiled and said, ”Since no one dares to challenge me, then this competition shall end here. Fellow Tiger King, can you give us the results of the things that we discussed previously? ”
