Clang!
The sound of weapons colliding with each other rang across the venue.
Two figures gradually appeared on the battle stage.
“Wow! They managed to block each other!”
“This pretty lady is so impressive! She’s the first person who can match Wind-Chaser Assassin’s speed!”
Everyone was so excited that they flushed. “No wonder she dared to challenge a ‘100-point warrior.’ She’s really strong!”
Suddenly, all the discussions came to a stop, and the battle stage turned silent.
“Why…?” Wind-Chaser Assassin slowly asked as the life in his eyes faded away.
When he opened his mouth to speak, blood dripped down from his chin to the floor.
“Huh? Wind-Chaser Assassin is bleeding? What’s going on?” Everyone widened their eyes in shock.
Lou Qianxue also looked at him in surprise. “Your heart is damaged, but you can still speak? Looks like you really want to know the reason behind your loss.
“The reason is simple. Everyone says that you can win within one move. Hence, I deduced that as long as I block the first move, you’ll have no more advantages over me.
“I know that you must be curious about how I managed to block your attack. Actually, it’s simple. I struck three times with my sword!”
Wind-Chaser Assassin’s eyes widened, and disbelief took over his face.
The audience thought they were hallucinating. “What the heck? Jade-Masked Blast managed to strike three times when even Wind-Chaser Assassin could do that only one time? Is she joking?”
“This pretty lady really knows how to lie! Wind-Chaser Assassin is so quick! How can anyone be faster than him?”
“You don’t believe me? Maybe you’ll understand after hearing my explanation.” Lou Qianxue calmly said, “I struck three times. The first strike blocked your knife. At that moment, you paused for a moment, right? It was then when I struck for the second time and stabbed your heart.
“When you realized it, you attacked me again. After that, I struck for the third time and blocked your knife. Perhaps, you thought that my sword did not move after blocking your knife the first time, but I struck it another two times.”
“Pfft…” As blood splattered out of his mouth, Wind-Chaser Assassin suddenly understood it.
After taking in a few breaths, he said in resignation, “I don’t deserve to be called the Wind-Chaser. However, after fighting a ‘blast’ like you, I have no regrets dying!”
In the next moment.
Bang!
His burly body toppled onto the ground.
The audience gasped.
Everyone stared at Lou Qianxue with their mouths agape. They couldn’t regain their senses.
As she glanced at Wind-Chaser Assassin’s corpse, Lou Qianxue felt a sense of pity. She then looked at the staff member at the side and said, “I’ve won this match, right?”
The staff member was utterly dumbfounded as well. He couldn’t react. He just mechanically nodded after hearing Lou Qianxue’s question.
It was only then that the audience came back to reality.
“Dead… He’s dead?”
“Is Wind-Chaser Assassin dead?”
“No way! Jade-Masked Blast is so powerful!”
“I can’t believe that someone in the Tian Zhao Dynasty is faster than Wind-Chaser Assassin! Wind-Chaser Assassin is even ranked 90th here!”
“It’s her first time battling someone of a higher level, but she won so beautifully… This lady is unbelievably strong!”
“Jade-Masked Blast! Jade-Masked Blast! No matter who her opponent is for the next match, I’ve decided to bet on her every match!”
“Yeah! Wind-Chaser Assassin could kill someone within a second. If she’s faster than him, she can kill her opponent within a second too!”
Everyone was discussing excitedly when…
Suddenly…
“Ah! Oh no! Oh no! I’ve lost everything!” someone yelled in misery.
When they realized, the crowd despondently exclaimed, “Oh my God! What should I do? I bet on Wind-Chaser Assassin too!”
“I also did!”
“Same here!”
“Only one person bet on Jade-Mased Blast for this match!”
The audience looked at Ye Zhuixun with envy and resentment.
