Chapter 126: Ruthless
The sky is blue, the clouds are floating, and on the Red Terrace, a martial arts contest is held to determine who will marry whom.
With palms carrying the wind and fists brimming with power, the true nature is revealed when the killing move is unleashed!
Xing Batian was a ruthless man to begin with, and now, hearing others insult him, he was instantly enraged and unleashed his domineering power. In the blink of an eye, Xing Batian stepped forward with his left foot, his left hand following the momentum, his body in a lunge stance, grabbing the middle-aged man's right arm, instantly immobilizing him. At the same time, his right fist flew out with tremendous force, delivering a vicious punch straight to the man's chest.
Little did the middle-aged man know that, with his skills, he was utterly powerless against Xing Batian. With his right arm restrained, he could barely move an inch, and with another punch approaching, he was helpless and could only endure the attack.
At the same time, the man in plain clothes on the roof began to move, as if approaching his target, but his gaze eventually fell on the girl seeking a husband.
Murong Hanchan and the other two on the roof remained silent, their eyes fixed on the red platform.
As Xing Batian unleashed his punch, the man coughed up a mouthful of blood and his body flew into the crowd, injuring several people.
"Ouch……"
"ah……"
As the group slowly got up, they took a closer look and saw that the middle-aged man's sternum was shattered, indicating that he had died on the spot.
"Ah... I'm dead!..."
How could someone be so cruel!
"Yeah! This...this is too cruel!"
...
Immediately, the audience began to mutter amongst themselves, criticizing Xing Batian's actions.
Xing Batian, however, was unimpressed. He turned to the hot-tempered young man beside him and shouted, "Now it's your turn!"
The hot-blooded young man, witnessing the middle-aged man killed by Xing Batian with a single punch without even making a move, felt a pang of fear. However, seeing the hundred or so audience members below and the beautiful woman waiting beside him, he steeled himself and resolved to muster even the most ferocious-looking man's courage.
Having made up his mind, the young man stepped forward, exerted all his strength, raised his right leg, and turned to kick Xing Batian squarely in the neck.
Seeing this, Xing Batian neither dodged nor blocked, taking the kick head-on without showing any pain on his face. The young man was stunned, but he knew to seize the opportunity and kicked in again with his right foot, attacking the same spot Xing Batian had just hit.
Although the young man had high hopes, Xing Batian wouldn't let him show off. He seized the opportunity to grab the young man's calf and swung his palm down with great force. With a sound of bones breaking, the young man's right leg was broken.
"ah……"
The young man cried out in pain, raising his right fist to strike Xing Batian's head. Xing Batian had already anticipated this, withdrawing his right palm to seize the young man, twisting it forcefully, and simultaneously kicking out with his right foot, striking the young man's left foot that was bracing for him. The two moves, six strikes in total, were swift and decisive. The sound of breaking bones and screams rang out again, and the young man fainted from the pain.
Xing Batian lifted the youth up with one hand and slammed him onto the stage. He then kicked the youth in the waist, sending him flying.
The body lunged at Shangguan Qinghuan, and those around her scattered to avoid it, fearing for their lives. In the blink of an eye, only Shangguan Qinghuan remained standing, completely unfazed.
Upon seeing this, Shangguan Qinghuan snapped her blue-and-white fan shut and, with a flick of her wrist, caught the young man's body and tossed him aside.
The young man was thrown to the ground. When the crowd came forward to examine him closely, they found that he was still half alive. Several kind-hearted people immediately carried him away.
Seeing this, Xing Batian stared coldly at Shangguan Qinghuan, but to his surprise, Shangguan Qinghuan didn't even glance at him, keeping her eyes fixed on the girl who was seeking a husband.
The girl seeking a husband didn't pay much attention to the crowd below the stage, but Shangguan Qinghuan's action made her take a second look.
The two looked at each other intently. Shangguan Qinghuan smiled, her expression revealing her admiration. She held her hands respectfully and bowed her head slightly, as if to nod to the girl in greeting.
Seeing that Shangguan Qinghuan was so polite, and that he was also handsome and dashing, the girl, in order not to be impolite, put down her jade pen, tilted her head slightly, and immediately returned Shangguan Qinghuan's salute.
Shangguan Qinghuan watched this unfold, which filled him with excitement. He thought to himself that today he would win the heart of another beauty. Just as he was about to go up on stage, two beams of cold light shot down from the rooftop in front of him, striking Shang Batian on the stage.
Xing Batian reacted quickly as well. He turned his head and saw two cold lights coming at him. He immediately rolled over to avoid them.
Two beams of cold light struck the platform and rose up, then returned to the hands of the man in plain clothes. Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that they were two crescent-shaped axes.
As Xing Batian landed, he saw two large holes in the platform and was immediately filled with rage, preparing to strike the attacker with his palm.
Seeing that Xing Batian easily dodged the attack, the man in plain clothes did not hesitate. He used his double crescent axe again, carrying a strong force, and at the same time, he moved suddenly to launch a three-way attack on Xing Batian.
Xing Batian was a cunning man. Faced with this kind of guerrilla weapon, he knew the key was to attack the person operating it, to fight at close range. Otherwise, once the attack distance was created, it would be the greatest disadvantage to him. With this in mind, Xing Batian advanced against the enemy, dodging the crescent axe, and went straight for the man in plain clothes.
Upon seeing this, the man in plain clothes immediately withdrew his crescent axe, gathered his strength, and began slashing back and forth at Xing Batian.
The two engaged in close combat, exchanging blows with swords and palms, each move fluid and graceful. Xing Batian repeatedly attempted to capture the man in plain clothes, but the man was agile and skillfully wielded his two axes, escaping danger time and again.
After a while, the two had exchanged dozens of blows, yet the outcome remained uncertain. Seeing that he was not gaining the upper hand, the man in plain clothes couldn't help but glance at the girl seeking marriage again. Xing Batian increased his speed, preparing for another attack, but unexpectedly, the man in plain clothes dodged and rushed towards the girl seeking marriage.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qinghuan inwardly cried out in alarm, but made no move, seemingly waiting for the girl to be captured.
"Hmm?" The girl was not surprised at all when she saw the man in plain clothes attacking her. She just let out a muffled groan and immediately swung her left hand, sending a needle flying out with force, which struck the man in plain clothes in the left eye.
The man in plain clothes was knocked to his knees and rose, clutching his injured left eye, filled with remorse. He never expected the woman sitting on the seat to be such a master. Seeing Xing Batian's furious rage, he knew he would surely die if he didn't leave, so he seized the opportunity and fled.
Xingba saw the man in plain clothes escape every day, and then burst into laughter at the audience.
"Hahaha...hahaha..." He was implying who dared to fight him? He especially looked at Shangguan Qinghuan, who was waving his flower fan and responding with nothing but disdain.
Seeing Xing Batian's arrogance, Chunxiang said to Xie Yunfeng, "Brother Feng, let me go up on stage and kill this beast!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunfeng immediately grabbed her and said, "No! The match on stage is a martial arts contest for marriage; we cannot break the rules of the martial arts world."
Chunxiang asked angrily, "Then what should we do? Just let him continue to hurt people?"
Xie Yunfeng said calmly, "Let's wait and see."
Just then, the two people on the rooftop simultaneously used their lightness skills to land on the red platform one after the other.
Upon seeing the two men, one wielding an iron rod and the other with a silver whip at his waist, Xing Batian's face immediately darkened. He coldly said to them, "So you are the Silver Halberd Duo?"
Upon hearing their words, the man clad in black ignored Xing Batian, while the man wielding the iron rod replied, "Not bad, you do have good judgment! I am Shili Fengsheng Yingtianxiao, and this is my elder brother, Ye Xingfeng. We brothers know a lot about your deeds, Xing Batian. You've committed countless evils, from rape and kidnapping to robbery. Today, we'll eliminate you here, acting on behalf of Heaven and ridding the Eastern Yue martial arts world of a scourge!"
