Chapter 402: Murderous Intent

Wang Tong picked himself up to his feet and dusted his clothes while lamenting his careless slip-up.

Before the smirk on Li Shiming's face faded away, Wang Tong disappeared and reappeared above Li Shiming, with his fists boring down on him.

Without any hesitation, Li Shiming lashed out Vayu to counter the attack. In a heartbeat, a dozen Blade Aura shot out at Wang Tong. However, Wang Tong easily evaded the attacks with phantom-like movement and closed in on Li Shiming. Wang Tong struck with a knee bash, but it was blocked by Li Shiming, and then he quickly followed with another Layered Fist of Tong. Li Shiming didn't have time to react to the second attack and was blown in the air. Before Li Shiming thudded back to the ground, Wang Tong shouted as thousands of icicles materialized in his hand and flew towards Li Shiming.

”Kom!”

Wang Tong's third attack struck home.

Silence fell into the arena after the audiences witnessed Wang Tong's amazing speed. However, Wang Tong didn't intentionally speed up his moment. After having been dealt a blow by the Tactics of the Vayu, the tactics of the Blade automatically gained the same speed capability.

Wang Tong finally understood the importance of the tactics of the Blade, and why Li Feng would leave these tactics for his true heir instead of any blood kin.

Li Shiming rubbed away the blood at the corner of his lips. He had registered that Wang Tong had copied his speed ability, but speed was only one of many abilities up his sleeve.

”Zzen!”

Li Shiming and Wang Tong both disappeared from the view simultaneously.

”Kom!”

”Kom, KOM!”

The audiences could see nothing but flashes of light on one end of the stage and occasional sparks on the other.

Cao Yi watched the fight with disbelief. Such speed would impose a tremendous burden on fighters' body, so much so that it was impossible to pull it off for any ordinary human. What made the feat even more impossible was the constant violent impacts which would add more burden to their already overloaded body.

Apache watched the scene with a knotted face. Although he had been proud of his speed, he could only use the speed ability once during a battle, since any more usage would tap too much into his system and cause premature failure of his body. However, the Tactics of Vayu had sustained Li Shiming's speed all the while, and so did Wang Tong using whatever tactics he was using.

”Kom!”

As a GN explosion erupted in the air, the two warriors finally appeared into everyone's sight.

Judging from his tattered clothes, Wang Tong had received more blows than Li Shiming, who floated in the air with his usual pomposity. He didn't seem to be impressed by Wang Tong's ability to reach the same speed as him.

Seeing Li Shiming's seemingly placid face, Li Ruoer shivered. Only his sister would be able to detect the tumultuous undercurrent inside Li Shiming. Wang Tong's blatant copying of the speed ability of the Tactics of Vayu had infuriated Li Shiming. Such an insult would never be tolerated, and the punishment for him was death.

Li Ruoer could see the menacing luster inside her brother's seemingly calm eyes, that held the thin edge of reasoning. If the situation continued to escalate, Li Ruoer worried that it would go out of control.

In everyone else's eyes, Wang Tong had made history again for being able to catch up with the speed of Vayu. Although many people still believed that Li Shiming would claim the victory, in the end, they conceded that it would be a much harder battle for the heir of House Li than they had expected.

A curl hung on the corner of Li Shiming's lips as his soul energy spread out to cross the stage like a blanket. Such powerful presence of energy could only be felt when veterans such as General Hu Ben were fighting on the battlefield. In fact, there was another name for such soul energy, the combat qi.

Surrounded by belligerent soul energy, people felt like time had been turned back, and it was Li Feng who stood on the stage instead of Li Shiming.
