We're about to win!
The flames at this moment are merely the last gasp of a spent force!
Chu was well aware of this. He took a deep breath, preparing to seize the opportunity and subdue the flames in one fell swoop.
With his hands bent into claws, Chu exerted all his strength and leaned forward.
He had already sensed from her trembling body that the power within her was gradually being depleted.
It was time to make a clean break. Chu heard the cheers from everyone in the Red Flower Tribe for him, and he felt his whole body filled with boundless power, as if the battle just now had no effect on him at all. He shouted and forcefully pressed Lieyan's body to the ground!
Looking down into Lieyan's eyes, Chu could see a trace of resentment.
Putting aside his conflict with the Black Wind Tribe, Chu admired Lieyan greatly. At her age, she had accomplished what he couldn't. Even though she was in such a terrible situation, she didn't show any sign of frustration. Instead, she remained defiant. If it were any other girl, she might have already burst into tears!
"three……"
Chu began the countdown.
If he can last three seconds, he wins!
He could feel that Lieyan was still struggling desperately, but to him, Lieyan's struggle was like a tickle; her strength had truly been exhausted.
After all, she's a girl, and her physical strength and power are definitely not as good as his.
"two……"
Just as Chu was counting down to two, he suddenly felt as if something had struck his mind, causing him to feel dizzy and nearly fall over!
What's going on?!
What's wrong with my body?
How could this happen? Is it because I'm physically exhausted? But why am I only realizing it now?
Chu panicked. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and even with his extensive experience, he had no idea what was going on.
He soon felt even more helpless, because the strength in his hands and body was gradually disappearing!
This feeling made Chu feel terrible, and in just that instant, he immediately squandered the huge advantage he had just created!
Lieyan keenly sensed the change happening to Chu—she didn't know what was wrong with Chu, but she could feel that the suffocating power had vanished instantly. Of course, she wouldn't miss this opportunity. She forcefully pushed Chu away, stood up abruptly, and punched Chu hard in the side of the face.
pain!
Damn it, she knocked out several of my teeth!
Why does it hurt so much? Chu covered her face and took several steps back, even more shocked by the changes in her body.
One second ago, his body was perfectly fine, and he didn't feel tired at all. How could it be that at this crucial moment, when he was about to win, the feeling of fatigue suddenly came over him? How could this happen? He was about to win, how could this be!
Chu was unwilling and confused. He had experienced too many battles, big and small, including dangerous and arduous ones that left him unable to move for days afterward. But he had never experienced anything like this before, where his body suddenly retaliated against him just when he was in the middle of a thrilling fight.
He looked down at his palms, which were covered in blood. But what bothered Chu even more was his trembling hands!
His hands were trembling!
"This... When did I become so weak? I just fought a woman, and I'm already so tired that my hands are shaking?"
Lieyan looked at Chu with some disappointment and said, "This won't do. It turns out that all the swagger you showed just now was just an act. It's a pity that you could have beaten me if you had just held on for one more breath."
Chu rudely cursed, "None of your business!"
“I misjudged you,” said Lieyan. “In your current state, you have no chance of defeating me. So… I hope your Red Flower Tribe doesn’t have the bad habit of breaking their word like the White Feather Tribe. If you lose, you are at our mercy.”
Chu stared at the raging flames, feeling his heart pounding faster.
Is it nervousness? But I haven't felt this way in a long time. Even when I encountered a Tyrannosaurus Rex or met a Great Ape for the first time, I was never this nervous. Why am I so nervous when facing flames?
"If you're so capable, come and see if you can defeat me!"
"Even now, you're still being stubborn."
"Flame snorted coldly."
From a distance, Carbohydrate noticed that Chu was in bad shape. They were about to win, so why was Chu so easily defeated by the flames? He asked worriedly, "Chu, how are you? If it's really too much, we'll fight them to the death. Don't push yourself!"
Chu retorted fiercely, "What do you mean by that? Do you think I'll lose?"
That's not what I meant!
"and you……"
As soon as Chu finished speaking, he was punched in the nose!
Blood flowed from Chu's nostrils.
"It seems you're really no good anymore," Flame said with a look of disappointment. "I thought all the warriors in the Red Flower Tribe were this powerful, but it seems they're nothing special. Even your reaction speed has become this slow now?"
"Hoo-ha."
Chu stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from under his nostril, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "What's it to you? The outcome isn't decided yet!"
Flame stopped his punching motion, took a step back, and said with a half-smile, "Indeed, but do you really think you're a match for me in your current state?"
Chu: "How would you know if you don't fight? Just now, you were about to lose, but you seized the opportunity when I gave you a chance and punched me, didn't you?"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chu said with a disdainful look, "It's a pity your punch was too light, it couldn't hurt me at all. What, has your Black Wind Tribe been starving lately, or is that all the strength you have as a level three warrior?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Lieyan threw another punch, striking Chu in the face. This punch was extremely powerful, seemingly about to dent Chu's facial features.
"Hey, that really hurts."
Chu took a step back and said sarcastically.
"you!"
A glint of light flashed in his fiery eyebrows as he shouted, "If you keep acting recklessly, you'll pay the price!"
"The price? You?"
Chu swayed a few times like a madman, then suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, "What a joke!"
"Chu!"
A loud shout from Dian brought Chu, who was in a frenzied state, back to his senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Dian asked, half stern and half concerned. "You were about to win just now, what happened?"
Chu chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "Chief, you don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. I'm just playing around with her. I'll take care of her in no time!"
