Lieyan smiled but didn't speak. This was the first time she had encountered such a formidable opponent. She was unwilling to accept that a level two warrior was so difficult to deal with, but she also didn't want to be seen as someone who didn't keep her word. After giving Chu a soft reminder, she launched another attack on Chu.
A heavy punch landed on Chu's shoulder.
Chu shook his arm, and a slight numbness came over him. It hurt a little. This woman seemed to be using her hands directly, which was even more powerful than when she used a weapon.
However, taking this opportunity, Chu grabbed Lieyan's hand and slammed Lieyan to the ground!
With a muffled groan, ignoring the pain, Lieyan immediately swept his leg across the ground, intending to knock Chu down as well.
She succeeded.
Chu was still too small for Lie Yan. He carelessly pounced on him, trying to control Lie Yan, but he didn't notice that he had already lost his balance and was tripped by Lie Yan, falling to the ground.
Taking this opportunity, Lieyan rolled over and got up, trying to pin Chu down.
If she can keep Chu under control and keep him on the ground for more than three seconds, she will win.
Chu Xin realized something was wrong. How could he lose to a woman? He immediately grabbed Lie Yan's arms with both hands, gritted his teeth, and began to exert force.
At this point, all skills are meaningless; what matters now is a contest of strength.
Whoever can't hold on first will be suppressed by the other. And once suppressed, given their level, they will be controlled for more than three seconds without any doubt. In that case, that person will have no chance to turn the tide!
Nobody wants to lose.
Lieyan's expression was not as calm as Chu's, but her arms were trembling slightly, which proved that she had also used enough strength.
Chu deliberately changed the subject to relax his mood and said, "Is a level three warrior nothing special? Not only is he not as strong as a level two warrior, but he is also no match for me in terms of strength, haha."
Although Chu was somewhat reckless, he was a veteran of countless battles. At this moment, he was getting happier and happier as he fought. His casual teasing of Lieyan did not affect his power.
But Lieyan clearly didn't have Chu's "magnanimity." These words immediately made her body stiffen slightly. Obviously, she was quite stimulated. Indeed, she and Chu had fought head-on for several rounds, but the result was still evenly matched. In terms of skill, Lieyan had clearly realized that she had completely fallen behind. She knew that if she was not careful and Chu found an even more powerful flaw, her life might even be in danger!
What further dampened Lieyan's confidence was what Chu said—she suddenly realized that she was a level above Chu, but in terms of sheer strength, she didn't seem to be able to completely suppress Chu.
She felt somewhat frustrated.
Yes, no matter what, I am still a woman.
Even the most talented female warrior will inevitably be suppressed by male warriors in every aspect when they encounter them, even if the other person is slightly weaker than her. This gap cannot be eliminated.
In the past, Lieyan had had this slightly inferior thought more than once, but as she gradually shone in the tribe, she gradually forgot about those thoughts. But today, Chu taught Lieyan a profound lesson, which made her recall that unforgettable past.
"Lieyan looks like she's about to be suppressed by Chu!"
"How could this happen? What should we do? Should we go over and help?"
"Well... if we go and help her, she'll be unhappy."
"But she's about to lose now. Are we just going to stand by and watch her lose? Are you willing to let those brats from the Red Flower Tribe trample on you?"
They could clearly see that the power of the Blazing Flame was being gradually suppressed by Chu, and was about to be subdued by Chu. They didn't know what kind of situation the Blazing Flame was facing, and they all began to feel nervous, hesitating on the spot, unsure whether to go up and help.
On the Red Flower Tribe's side, it was clear that Chu had gradually gained the upper hand. No matter how hard Lieyan tried, half of his body could not be completely pressed to the ground. He could always maintain a half-supported state and was about to "sit" up. On the other hand, Lieyan's body began to slowly lean back, as if she was about to run out of strength.
"Damn it! No way, that Chu guy is way too arrogant!"
In the Black Wind Tribe, one warrior could no longer bear it. He crouched down, picked up his bow, grabbed an arrow, closed one eye, and aimed at Chu, who was intently battling the flames.
"Hey, watch your step, the Red Flower Tribe will see you doing that!"
"It's alright, I'll stay away," the man was about to turn around and thank the person who had just kindly thanked him when he realized that the person standing next to him was actually the Moth Witch. He couldn't help but gasp as the words were about to come out, and the taut bowstring retracted.
He gave a frightened and embarrassed smile, completely at a loss for what to do.
The moth shaman chuckled and patted the warrior's head, then asked, "Stay away? Do you really think those guys from the Red Flower Tribe are idiots? Look, they've already noticed you. I'm afraid they'll attack you the moment you shoot an arrow."
After being reminded by the moth shaman, the man shuddered nervously and "secretly" glanced at the Red Flower tribe's crowd. He thought he was being very careful, but to the Red Flower tribe, his actions looked like those of a thief! What did it mean to look here furtively? Wasn't it because he felt guilty?
Seeing that several soldiers were staring at him with unfriendly expressions, the soldier who had just attempted a sneak attack immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
If I were to interrupt the duel between Lieyan and Chu, the Red Flower Tribe would definitely not let me off the hook!
He was reluctant to admit it, but he understood that after all the level one warriors and above went to the Black Crow Forest, they could buy some time for Tashan and the others to return. But once the Red Flower Tribe got serious, how could they possibly win?
"Then what should we do?"
He asked.
His tone was low, suggesting that he was already in a very bad mood.
"Hehe, you're really young," the moth witch patted the man's shoulder earnestly, reminding him, "If obvious methods won't work, we can use some less obvious ones."
"?"
"Ah, right! I forgot, Moth Witch, your ability..."
"Shh..."
Moth Witch chuckled and shook her head. "Don't let them see anything amiss. You all continue watching as normal. Leave Chu's matter to me."
Then, he looked at the other soldiers and said in the same tone, "You all, don't make a sound, just watch... I'll make that idiot Chu pay for his recklessness!"
