Another Defeat
Things were getting a little strange. Sounds of fighting could be heard coming from the darkness, but no one knew how Merry Shadow and Fangyuan were fighting, or who had the upper hand and who was at a disadvantage.
Everyone craned their necks to look at the center of the ring. Some of them even stood up in a hurry.
Xia Fei pouted and thought, 'It's so dark. It's useless even if I fly, let alone stand up.'
The disciples of the Assassin Sect naturally would not listen to Xia Fei's advice. They were all worried about the situation in the ring, but they had neglected a simple point of common sense. If a darkness ability user could easily see through a formation laid down by them, then it would no longer be a darkness ability but should be called a high-definition uncensored ability.
Xia Fei could not help but recall an experience he had many years ago. He had once peeped through someone's window to watch a television. Xia Fei could not remember what was playing, but he did know that it was just two tall and skinny figures fighting in a crudely made indoor studio. Their movements were extremely slow, but the sound quality was excellent. It was so good that anyone walking in the alley at night would think that they had seen two hidden experts duking it out on top of the Forbidden City if they were not paying attention.
Just as the two of them were at a crucial point in their fight, the eighteen -inch TV suddenly went dark. The image disappeared, but the martial arts expert's laughter could still be heard. In a moment of panic, the owner of the house ran over and slapped the TV cover with all his might, making loud banging noises. Xia Fei, who was hiding outside the door, was afraid that this old TV would suddenly undergo some kind of chemical reaction and explode.
Many years later, Xia Fei learned that the old-fashioned movies were produced by a company called the Shao Family in Hong Kong. It was said that this was the essence of Hong Kong movies. Of course, the Shao Family had also produced quite a number of third-rate indie movies, which were also very commendable. However, if one were to close their eyes and listen carefully, the sound of the third-rate movies and the sound of the martial arts movies would sound familiar.
The scene today was very similar to the past. Fangyuan and Huan Ying were fighting in the dark, and the people outside could do nothing but watch anxiously. Hence, they tiptoed and craned their necks. This was similar to the middle-aged loser who slammed the television with all his might.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, his eyes occasionally glancing into the darkness. Manatee was clenching his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging, his chest muscles bouncing as if he was very nervous.
There was also Phantom. If not for the fact that he could not stay too far away from the Moore Stone on Xia Feis body, he would definitely dive into the darkness to see what was going on.
Suddenly, blue lightning flashed in the darkness!
The powerful electric currents were like countless blue dragons. One of them directly pierced through the darkness and smashed a composite lamp at the top of the sparring arena, causing a large amount of sparks to surge outwards.
It had to be known that Huan Ying's Darkness Domain was at least 20 meters tall, and it was over 100 meters long and wide. With such a large range, only a powerful lightning attack could penetrate it.
Moreover, there wasn't just one electric current, but dozens of them mixed together to form a compound attack! There was no way to avoid it!
Even the spectator stands on the periphery of the sparring arena were affected. Fortunately, as a precaution, the sparring arena of this scale was equipped with an energy barrier to protect the spectator stands. The blue electric current let out a crackling sound as it struck the energy barrier, like a raging wave crashing against the shore!
* Bang! Bang! *
Another series of deafening thunderclaps rang out, scaring the more cowardly disciples to the point that they covered their faces with their hands, scared out of their wits!
"Lightning! Xia Fei, you're right! Fangyuan's Special Ability is really Lightning! "Phantom Shadow exclaimed as he jumped to his feet.
Xia Fei was not too surprised. Fangyuan's special ability was within his expectations, so there was nothing to be surprised about. It was just that Huan Ying, who was in the middle of the fight, might very well lose.
Judging from the intensity of the electric attack Fangyuan had unleashed, it was most likely that Fangyuan was unable to gain the upper hand in the darkness, so he had no choice but to use his trump card.
As the saying went, fire and water are merciless, but electricity was even more merciless and ruthless than fire and water!
If Huan Ying had been hit by Fangyuan's series of powerful attacks, the outcome would have been obvious.
On the spectator stand, Craneshadow clenched the armrest of his seat. * Crack! * A crisp sound rang out, and an inconspicuous crack appeared on the sturdy red sandalwood chair. However, his face remained calm and collected.
Craneshadow's momentary absent-mindedness did not escape Tongtian's eyes. He smiled, knowing that victory was already in his grasp. He even began to consider what to do with the Shadowless Planet and Shadowless Mountain after he obtained it. He did not want to see anything related to the Assassin Sect, but it would cost a fortune to completely demolish and rebuild the sect, which was still worth it in his eyes.
Even the cunning Craneshadow could not help but be absent-minded, let alone Darkshadow, Moonshadow, and Silvershadow, who were seated below. Silvershadow's mouth was wide open, and he almost screamed out loud.
The darkness became silent, and so did the entire hall. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard. Even the breathing was suppressed.
A few seconds later, the mass of darkness on the stage suddenly dissipated, revealing two figures.
Fangyuan stood in the ring with his arms crossed. There were no signs of battle on his face. His complexion was not red, and his breathing was even. However, there were some black patterns on his neck, which looked like the spots on a python.
Xia Fei knew that these black spots were left behind when Merryshadow tried to engulf Fangyuan with her devouring technique. Now that Huan Ying had retracted her technique, the black spots on Fangyuan's body were slowly recovering.
On the other side, the young lady, Huan Ying, was lying on the ground, one hand covering her mouth as she spat out mouthfuls of blood. She was originally wearing a pretty green combat suit, but it had been torn apart by Fangyuan's ferocious lightning attack. Some of her private parts were exposed, and the skin that was exposed was slightly dark, caused by the electric current.
Her hair was messy like a bird's nest, and her face was haggard as if she had just escaped from a fire. She no longer looked cute and weak.
The spectator stands were filled with sighs, but most of them were angry and cursing.
A few disciples of the Assassin Sect quickly carried the heavily injured Huan Ying away for treatment. The entire sparring field was covered in dark clouds, filled with hatred and sorrow.
Two battles and two losses, one dead and one injured. If they still could not win the next round, the Assassin Sect's reputation would probably be washed away in the Yarlung Zangbo River.
Craneshadow, who was sitting at the head of the table, suddenly stood up. He forced a smile on his face as he excused himself from Tongtian and left the sparring field.
Tongtian squinted his eyes as he watched Craneshadow leave. This was the Assassin Sect's territory. As the saying went, a monk could run, but the temple could not. Tongtian was not worried that Craneshadow would not return.
Craneshadow suddenly sped up after leaving the sparring ground and arrived at the forest not far away. He saw his Senior Brother Shadowless standing under a tree with a serious expression. His body was as straight as a spear, which gave Craneshadow the illusion that his Senior Brother's crippled leg had recovered.
