Initially, she wanted to tease Xiao Ran a little more. However, seeing that Xiao Ran had adjusted his expression and was unmoved, she lost interest and said, "Fine, fine, fine. Since Xiao Ran wants to fight, I'll play with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Zhen let out a charming snort, and her figure swiftly flew toward Xiao Ran.
As soon as she made her move, everyone below the ring, including Meng Jueguang and Lin Yi, widened their eyes and observed her abilities.
Although she had been at the Welcome Pavilion for a month and was always the first to fight in every round of the Newcomers' Challenge, due to the huge difference in abilities, every newcomer who was challenged by her, an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundational Building Realm, would admit defeat. Therefore, nobody had seen her fight for the past month.
However, Xiao Ran, whom she was facing now, was not an ordinary newcomer. As an expert in the early stage of the Foundational Building Realm, although Murong Zhen felt pressured, it was not to the point where she would not dare to fight.
With Xiao Ran's background, unless Murong Zhen was undefeatable among those in the early stage of the Foundational Building Realm, it would not be easy for her to defeat Xiao Ran even if she was confident of winning.
As soon as Murong Zhen moved, Xiao Ran moved as well. With an exquisite body technique like the Shadowstep, Xiao Ran was never an expert who liked to fight head-on. Xiao Ran's fighting style was to use the Shadowstep to deal with his opponent and look for opportunities to attack.
It was because of this fighting style that he had the confidence to fight Murong Zhen, an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundational Building Realm. If it were Qiao Hongcai, who was used to fighting head-on, challenging someone who was of a higher level would be suicide.
"Yo, Brother Xiao Ran, you have such a good body technique!" Murong Zhen's eyes brightened.
Because she had the advantage in terms of strength and rank, her speed was clearly faster than Xiao Ran's. In theory, Xiao Ran should not be able to escape from the palm of her hand. However, in the limited space of the arena, Xiao Ran made it impossible for her to make a move.
This was all thanks to the Shadowstep. The speed in a straight line might not be very fast, but in such a small area, it was definitely second to none, even when compared to all the movement techniques.
However, even then, Xiao Ran did not dare to be careless in the slightest. This was because he had already pushed his Disorienting Steps to its limits. However, the most he could do was to contend with Murong Zhen. He could remain undefeated, but he would not be able to find an opportunity to attack.
After all, an expert at the peak of the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm was not that easy to deal with. Other than the little bit of kinship between her and Elder Murong, it was mainly because of her own strength. This woman was not as simple as a vase that looked good but was useless.
With regards to this situation, Xiao Ran had long since anticipated it. If he could seize the initiative just by relying on the Shadowstep alone, then his opponent would be too weak. However, if this continued, the situation wouldn't be advantageous to him.
The effects of the Shadowstep were shocking, but it also consumed a large amount of vital energy. If this continued, Xiao Ran felt that he would not be able to outlast Murong Zhen.
Just as Xiao Ran was about to take the risk and wait for an opportunity to make his move, Murong Zhen, who was chasing after him, suddenly giggled, "Brother Xiao Ran, people say that a man chasing a woman is like a mountain apart. A woman chasing a man is like a mountain apart. I've been chasing after you for so long, you should at least give me a response! "
Flirting! Flirting again!
Although Xiao Ran did not want to bother with her, his Shadowstep slowed down a little. Then, his heart shuddered, and a murderous intent suddenly appeared behind him!
Xiao Ran was already very careful. While he was using Shadowstep to evade the attacks, Xiao Ran was extremely cautious. While he was using the Shadowstep to deal with Murong Zhen, he was constantly paying attention to his opponent's position and movements. However, in that split second, Murong Zhen's fingertip flashed with a piercing light. She was fifty feet away just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, she had already appeared behind Xiao Ran.
Bang! Under the astonishment of everyone present, Xiao Ran directly fell out of the ring.
Lin Yi and the others reacted and immediately went forward to help him up to check his injuries. They asked in concern, "Are you alright? Are you badly injured? "
Before Xiao Ran could speak, Murong Zhen spoke on his behalf. She said in a tone that was half surprised and half regretful, "Of course he's alright. Brother Xiao Ran, you're the first person in the early stage of the Foundation Building Realm to be able to dodge my Phantom Finger. You should be proud of yourself!"
Under the support of his senior brother and Qiao Hongcai, Xiao Ran slowly stood up. His expression was rather unpleasant. "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Murong. If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely return the favor!"
He was certain that Murong Zhen did not hold back at all from that attack just now. She really did want to kill him. Her words were as sweet as honey, but when she found a chance to distract him, she immediately struck a fatal blow. This woman was just as Boss Lin Yi had said — she had the heart of a snake and scorpion!
If it were not for the fact that he was naturally alert and constantly on guard, he might not have been able to dodge that attack even if he used the Shadowstep. Besides, he had also used the convenience of being at the edge of the stage. If he jumped off the stage, it would be considered as him forfeiting the fight. Otherwise, even if he was lucky enough to dodge the attack, Murong Zhen would definitely have a killing move up her sleeve.
"Brother Xiao Ran, you're making me really scared. Why don't we change the method? How about we go to my wooden hut next time? I'm looking forward to it! " Murong Zhen's pair of seductive eyes could not stop glistening. Her adoration was clearly written on her face. It was as if she had not tried to kill Xiao Ran at all.
She changed her attitude faster than flipping the pages of a book. This woman was really one of a kind!
Lin Yi and the others shook their heads speechlessly. Their understanding of Murong Zhen had deepened. This woman was indeed not easy to deal with. She was not any easier to deal with than Meng Jueguang, the Eldest Senior Brother who was in charge.
Seeing that Xiao Ran was ignoring her, Murong Zhen had no choice but to give up on teasing him in boredom. She said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Xiao Ran, even though I've won, I'll leave the third cave at the foot of the mountain for you to stay. Don't forget to come to my wooden hut to play, I'll be waiting for you."
After that, Murong Zhen swayed her seductive waist and leisurely walked off the stage under the greedy gaze of the crowd.
"Hongcai, if nothing goes wrong, this woman will definitely challenge you in the next round. When that time comes, don't try to be brave. Just admit defeat." Lin Yi warned Qiao Hongcai with a serious expression.
"That's right. This woman is really dangerous. Even though I saw her move just now, I couldn't react in time. Today, I was lucky to be at the edge of the stage. Otherwise, I'd probably be a corpse by now," Xiao Ran said with lingering fear.
