Hongfeng's expression grew even colder.
Chen Qian got up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled.
"Little Phoenix, your brother died because of me. Three years ago I said I couldn't die yet, but now, I won't fight back. Go ahead and hit me."
“If you don’t fight back, I’ll beat you to death,” Hongfeng said coldly.
Chen Qian was on a completely different wavelength from her, and he actually sighed and laughed, "You've finally agreed to talk to me."
Hongfeng's anger overwhelmed her hesitation. She grabbed Chen Qian by the collar and was about to throw a punch, but stopped a centimeter away from his face.
"Chen Qian, you truly make me despise you. If you're a man, you should die on the battlefield, not here!"
Chen Qian's smile vanished instantly, and Hong Feng let go of his hand, preparing to leave.
However, she had only taken three steps when she heard the sound of wind breaking behind her, and Chen Qian became serious.
Chen Qian is at the fourth rank, as is Hong Feng, but one is wind-type and the other is fire-type.
However, they didn't use any special abilities at first; it was a pure physical contest. Gradually, everyone noticed something was amiss. The two seemed to have similar routines, both using military boxing.
The two exchanged blows in a very exciting fashion, almost a back-and-forth battle.
The residents of Dawn, who had been silent for a long time, became excited again, shouting "Dawn will win! Dawn will win!"
The people at P base were equally determined, shouting, "Brother Qian, charge!"
Xia Yixin breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw them getting serious. However, after exchanging more than a hundred moves, Hong Feng's moves became somewhat chaotic due to her anger, and Chen Qian controlled her rhythm, causing her to retreat step by step.
Seeing Hongfeng's defeat, the shouts from the Dawn Base gradually weakened, while the shouts from the P Base, though only four or five people were there, were even louder.
Hongfeng gradually grew anxious. She dodged Chen Qian's punch and instead of retreating, she moved closer, grabbed his wrist, and delivered a side kick. Chen Qian was knocked back a few steps, but unexpectedly felt a burning pain in his wrist.
Hong Feng actually used her supernatural power. Was she enraged? Impossible. Hong Feng wouldn't break the rules in public.
Chen Qian sensed something was wrong, but the residents of the Dawn Base who were watching around were completely unaware and instead started shouting excitedly.
Offstage, Xia Yixin noticed that Hong Feng's gaze was strange. She looked at Chen Qian as if he were a dead man, and this change was very sudden.
Just then, she noticed the firelight flowing in Hongfeng's palm and immediately sensed something was wrong. But just as she was about to make a move, Hongfeng suddenly swayed. When she looked again, the fire-type ability in her palm had disappeared, and she looked around in confusion.
"Alright, this match is a draw." Xia Yixin quickly walked to the center of the field and grabbed Hong Feng's wrist, while Chen Zhe also grabbed Chen Qian on the other side.
Chen Zhe also sensed that something was wrong just now.
"Captain Xia, it's me?" Hong Feng clutched her neck, feeling a sharp, stabbing pain on the left side of her neck near her ear.
Xia Yixin, with her sharp eyes, noticed that it was actually a silver needle, and her gaze darkened.
At this moment, at least a hundred people from the Dawn Base had gathered around to watch, making it impossible to tell who had done it.
Just then, someone shouted, "Dawn Base can't lose! Team Xia, let's have a contest!"
Immediately, the people around were incited and started shouting, "Captain Xia, teach them a lesson!"
If the basketball court weren't separated by a wire fence, the excited crowd would probably have rushed over by now. The first game was lost by Chenxi, and the second game was a draw. If it ended like this, it would really be a loss of face for the residents of Chenxi.
Chen Zhe noticed that Xia Yixin had been observing the people around her, so he approached her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
“Hongfeng was just hit by a silver needle. There’s probably a mole in the Dawn Base. Let’s put on a show together,” Xia Yixin replied in a deep voice.
"Okay." Chen Zhe also became serious.
Hong Feng was escorted down the stairs by Xia Yixin and the medical staff, as was Chen Qian, leaving only Xia Yixin and Chen Zhe on the field.
The onlookers became even more excited when they saw that the city lords of the two bases were really going to compete.
The sunset was like blood.
The basketball court was packed with people, and the shouts of "Dawn will win!" were deafening, while the voices of "P Base is the strongest" were almost drowned out.
As the city lord, Chen Zhe knew all too well the horror of an "insider." He knew that after the first attack, the other party would not let it go and would definitely make a second move, but he didn't know who it would target.
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly felt a chilling aura rushing towards him, and he instinctively dodged and retaliated.
Immediately, the two players began to compete on the basketball court.
If the fight between Hongfeng and Chen Qian had shown them impressive martial arts skills, then the fight between Xia Yixin and Chen Zhe was truly brutal and thrilling, with every punch landing with a thud. Especially Xia Yixin; the moment she made a move, Mark exclaimed, "Chinese Kung Fu! This is real Chinese Kung Fu!"
Even the bald guy who had studied Shaolin Kung Fu at P Base for over ten years involuntarily straightened his body.
Xia Yixin had genuinely practiced martial arts in an ancient world and possessed internal energy. Her every move was fluid and graceful. General Xia taught her the Xia Family Fist, and she had honed her fighting skills on the battlefield. Outsiders could only see that the two had exchanged more than a dozen moves in the blink of an eye, but experts could tell that Chen Zhe was no match for Xia Yixin at all.
Every punch Chen Zhe threw felt like hitting a pile of cotton. Not only did he fail to touch Xia Yixin at all, but he also felt restrained. His strength and speed began to drop rapidly in less than three minutes, which shocked Chen Zhe so much that he almost forgot that the two of them were "acting".
He had a feeling that she had only used less than 30% of her power!
She is far more capable than he thought!
In the instant he was distracted, a silver light shot out from the crowd and struck the back of his head.
Chen Zhe sensed danger. The moment he turned around and grabbed the silver needle, the woman in front of him jumped into the crowd and pinned down a middle-aged man.
This series of changes happened in the blink of an eye. The onlookers only saw the two who were fighting so intensely suddenly stop, one of them with a sullen face clutching something, while Xia Yixin suddenly rushed into the crowd.
The noisy crowd fell into a deathly silence, and most people looked bewildered.
As Xia Yixin pinned the man down, she noticed three or four other people in the crowd who were trying to escape. She instantly locked onto them with her mental energy, and the four people screamed and knelt down, clutching their heads.
"The inspection team is arresting people. Everyone else is not allowed to leave. Keep an eye on the people around you. No one is allowed to leave!" Xia Yixin gave orders one by one. The inspection team members who were on guard suddenly realized what was happening and quickly pressed down the people who had fallen to the ground.
What was originally just a "friendly match" has now completely changed its nature.
Nearly two hundred people gathered at the scene, and no one dared to leave. They were all allowed to go home after being investigated, while those with suspicious circumstances were all kept behind.
