In the arena, a man with blonde hair and blue eyes had skin as white as a corpse, without a trace of colour.
At this moment, he took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood from his hands.
His movements were extremely elegant, displaying the bearing of a noble to the fullest.
His eyes did not even glance at Yu Xinghe, as if that explosive battle just now had truly been nothing more than a warm-up.
At this, the whole venue was shocked.
After all, that was the number two expert on the China Heavenly Dragon Rankings.
And now he had actually been defeated in a single move?
Yu Xinghe, he was an expert even more powerful than Lin Hualong. Especially his Cloud-Scattering Palm, that was no exaggeration. Once, Yu Xinghe had practised martial arts at Tianchi Lake on Tianshan Mountain. He struck a palm toward the sky, and truly dispersed an entire cloud.
How much powerful force was needed to successfully create such fierce wind power, blowing up to the high sky and dispersing a cloud?
This was sufficient to prove this expert’s strength. Now he had not only lost, but it had merely been a warm-up?
Was this foreigner really so powerful?
At this time, Li Jiu slowly walked toward Gulad.
“Mr. Gulad is indeed formidable. I underestimated you. I should not have let Mr. Yu test you first.”
“I accept your apology. However, if you lose, hand over the martial arts you practise and let me take them back to my country.” Gulad spoke slowly.
The moment these words left his mouth, they instantly caused everyone present to be shocked.
“What?”
“Dream on!”
“Such outrageous words!”
“I know you will not agree, so I have another proposal. If you refuse to give them to me, I will challenge you one by one, and then kill all of you.”
“I do not know whether you have already chosen your priests and graveyards.” Gulad spoke arrogantly.
“You are too arrogant, Mr. Gulad.” Li Jiu was angered by Gulad’s words.
“I am merely stating my opinion and a fact.” Gulad spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, appearing completely indifferent.
“Then come.” Li Jiu stomped on the ground. His power was so great that the entire summit of Baihua Mountain shook, as if there had been an earthquake.
“Brother Luo, can my father win?” Li Meizi asked with some worry.
“He cannot win.” Luo Chen shook his head.
“Hey, you youngster, which family are you from?”
“Since you arrived, I have not heard you say a single nice word. You only boost others’ morale and dampen our own.”
“The fight has not even started. How do you know he cannot win?”
“And that is the number one expert on the China Heavenly Dragon Rankings!” Elder Jin said from the side, completely angered, trembling with rage.
After all, whoever heard these words would be unhappy in their heart.
“For a mere youngster like you to talk so big. Can you even understand what you are seeing?” Elder Jin looked at Luo Chen with disdain.
He was considered a renowned senior. Even he could not understand the current situation, yet a greenhorn was making comments in front of him. Naturally, this made him angry.
“Can win is can win. Cannot win is cannot win. The strength gap is too large. It is not something that can be changed by you saying a few nice words.” Luo Chen spoke.
“Strength gap?” Elder Jin let out a cold laugh.
“You can see their strength gap?”
“Even I cannot see it. How old are you?”
“And you dare to make rash judgements about strength gaps?” Elder Jin deliberately raised his voice considerably.
Naturally, this also caused some people nearby to turn their gazes toward Luo Chen.
This immediately caused many people to reveal expressions of dissatisfaction as they looked at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen did not speak again.
That Gulad was somewhat similar to Shen Junfeng, also half-human and half-ghost. Luo Chen guessed.
This probably also had some connection to that horror game.
In that game, if one completed missions, one would probably receive certain rewards, such as a vampire bloodline and so on.
However, for the current situation, when the two’s strength was similar, Gulad would definitely hold the advantage. After all, he had the vampire bloodline bonus.
Elder Jin had just wanted to say a few more words when the fight over there had already begun.
“Tombstone-Smashing Hand!”
Li Jiu used an ultimate technique right from the start. Clearly, he intended to end the battle quickly.
As his palms and fingers reversed, Li Jiu truly deserved to be the number one on the China Heavenly Dragon Rankings. He had actually condensed his internal force into a visible form.
A phantom of a heavenly stele descended from the sky. The heavenly stele was ancient and majestic, heavy as a mountain.
“Thud!”
Dust filled the sky. The entire mountain summit was like an earthquake, the earth shaking and mountains trembling. That heavenly stele was like a small asteroid, extremely explosive. It directly created a deep crater in the arena.
The force was too great, truly like a great mountain crashing down.
But clearly, it did not hit. Li Jiu had underestimated the opponent’s speed.
The heavenly stele vanished, and Gulad’s figure was like a ghost, completely impossible to trace.
“Mr. Li has excellent skill.”
Suddenly, a claw reached out from behind. Dark nails gleamed with cold light.
Li Jiu swung his hand in a palm strike.
“Clang!”
Clearly, they were flesh and blood, yet the two produced a sound of metal clashing.
It was as if two pieces of steel had collided, emitting a piercing sound.
This was too terrifying.
Instantly, the two became entangled in combat. Every strike had explosive sounds bursting forth. Every strike carried the feeling of the earth shaking and mountains trembling.
Finally, Li Jiu roared angrily. Streams of visible sword qi crisscrossed arrogantly, sweeping in all directions.
Some boulders were cut through as easily as tofu.
The battle directly entered an intense phase.
Condensing a sword from qi. If this were placed in ancient times, it would probably be called a martial arts myth.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a roar rang out. This was the Five Elements Fist Technique. Clearly, Li Jiu had obtained the true heritage, striking with the momentum of a fierce tiger. The internal force transformed into a fierce tiger that pounced directly at Gulad. Its momentum was astonishing, its power no less than a real artillery shell.
But unfortunately, Gulad took this blow head-on. Although he was shaken until blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, he actually charged over. Still, a claw reached out.
That claw was too strange. When it struck over, Li Jiu instantly felt somewhat dizzy and vision blurred. He could not see clearly at all.
“Something is wrong. This is not martial arts!” Li Jiu forcibly bit through his tongue and discovered the clue within, but it was already too late.
With a ripping sound, Li Jiu was sent flying. His chest also received a blood-drenched wound. His protective internal force had not blocked the opponent’s claw at all.
“You have lost!” Gulad was completely unconcerned.
“This is not martial arts at all. This is something from the cultivation lineage!” Li Jiu’s face was grim.
“But you have already lost.”
Gulad walked toward Li Jiu.
“Either hand over what I want, or I will twist your head off.” Gulad spoke coldly.
“Or, does anyone else among you wish to come up and try? As a gentleman, I do not mind. I can give you this opportunity.” Gulad looked at everyone disdainfully.
But no one dared to move. After all, at times, life is very precious. If Li Jiu had lost, would the others not be seeking death by going up?
“No one?”
Gulad let out a cold smile.
“What Chinese martial artists? They are still fragile and cannot withstand a single blow!”
“Brother Luo.” Li Meizi looked toward Luo Chen.
