216 Crimson Sky (1/2)

It was as if thousands of small beasts were wrecking his body, causing havoc in his meridians. His body trembled incessantly and his face was pale. Blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Xue Wei breathed heavily. He had used much of his Qi in this attack—at least half of the Qi dragons within his body had been poured into Tiger Triplet Daddy. Meanwhile, the Azure Dragon Spirit within his dantian kept restoring the amount of Qi dragons he had used. Unfortunately, it would take quite some time before all of them were restored.

Tiger Triplet Daddy had not used a lot of Qi, but he still felt drained because of the onslaught of the Qi dragons that were swarming his meridians. His face was pale in fright; his eyes wide open.

He opened his mouth but closed it again without saying anything. All that came out was blood.

Xue Wei had also stopped his chain of attacks. He had poured so much Qi into the Arcane Fist attack he sent out that he was slightly out of breath, but his eyes glistened with excitement, and his vicious smile did not lose its intensity.

Xue Wei started walking towards Tiger Triplet Daddy, his steps calm and collected. He seemed as if he was taking a walk in a park, but he kept building momentum with each step he took.

Tiger Triplet Daddy had managed to avoid most of the attacks so far, but he had never before encountered Qi with properties like Xue Wei's. That Qi had entered his body and roared like actual living beasts, draining him from the inside.

An arm shot out. The hand clasped over Tiger Triplet Daddy's throat like a giant claw. Xue Wei squeezed his fingers together slightly, causing cracking sounds to echo out.

Tiger Triplet Daddy gave a last struggle; he poured his remaining Qi into his machete and swung it around like a snake, aiming straight for Xue Wei's heart.

Tiger Triplet Daddy had been waiting for this moment. He had gambled with his own life, knowing that he had only enough energy for one attack. Now he poured it all into the machete, trying to execute Xue Wei in one go.

The audience was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one spoke. They observed with big eyes.

Lu Yuping was biting his nails. His eyes displayed boundless worry. He kept tapping his feet on the ground and paced back and forth next to Li Chen, who also looked slightly pale. Her hands clutched a handkerchief. Complex emotions were constantly swirling in her eyes, but her face itself was as stoic and expressionless as always.

Xue Wei felt the danger encroaching upon him. He did not look down. He knew where the danger came from, but he retreated before he had time to do anything else.

Forbidden Rush!

He was faster than the seriously wounded Tiger Triplet Daddy, but he had been too close. Sparks flew from where the machete came into contact with the Fierce Beast hide covering his torso, and although the attack was slightly mitigated, it still managed to penetrate the leather. Even more sparks flew out as the machete came into contact with the robe underneath, but this was easier to slice through, and then the rest of the remaining slicing force came into contact with Xue Wei's chest. A long gash appeared in his armor and robe, while ten centimeters of flesh was cut open on his chest.

Blood started to flow from the wound, dripping down to the arena floor and soiling the rest of his clothes after Xue Wei composed himself several steps away. Being wounded did not diminish Xue Wei's smile. In fact, he seemed to be even more amused now than before. He seemed more excited.

Seeing the Tiger Triplet Daddy struggle and fight back as he did, the thrill of the hunt started exciting him even more. Xue Wei could not wait for the conclusion of the fight.

He knew that he could end it easily, either by transforming or by using Mind Infestation, but he also felt that that would ruin the thrill of the fight. He was enjoying himself. He wanted to see his opponent struggle. He felt like a cat playing with a mouse.

Tiger Triplet Daddy's face turned dark when he saw that Xue Wei had successfully managed to evade his attack. The Qi dragons within his meridians had managed to be demolished by his own Qi threads, but the fight had given him internal injuries. It had also caused him to waste a whole lot of Qi.

He was already on the verge of collapsing, but he refused to give up. Bruises had appeared on his throat after Xue Wei had tried to break his neck. Blood stains were at the corner of his lips, staining the robe he was wearing after trickling down his neck.

His clothes and hair were disheveled. He staggered from even trying to stand up, and his eyes were unfocused. Right now, the only thing that held him upright was his willpower; his refusal to give up.

Xue Wei had to admit that he respected this man. He had a power above average Heavenly Warriors at the same layer. He had amazing survival instincts, he fought fiercely even against opponents that completely overwhelmed him, and his willpower was outstanding.

From having met a worthy opponent like this, Xue Wei could truly feel his blood boil. Such a person was worth killing!

Xue Wei activated Forbidden Rush. He vanished from where he stood and appeared next to Tiger Triplet Daddy.

Shattering Mountain Palm!
