"This is truly a miraculous competition. There's clearly a huge disparity in strength, but there are still many supporters. I hope that Wang Zhong can give us an opportunity to complete this!" Chen Yu 'er clenched her fists.
However, an ideal was always an ideal. Tianjing's squadron members were Wang Zhong, Grai, Barran. The first 3 were still acceptable, but behind them was Colby … Ma Dong …
Ma Dong was looking left and right, extremely pleased with himself. He was wearing his flashy white outfit. Holy sh * t, who would have thought that there would be a day when he would appear on stage. Furthermore, it was in the semifinals. His ancestral graves were fuming with smoke. Damn, he would definitely let the entire world remember his handsomeness.
Naturally, student Ma Dong Dong had already confirmed this beforehand. He only needed to make up the numbers, and didn't need to fight for real. What an international joke! Although fame was important, his little life was even more important. If he were to land in the hands of perverts like Martial Ghost Divine Emperor, he would definitely be beaten up a few times.
Everyone started to discuss spiritedly amongst themselves. "What the hell is this slut? Is she Tianjing's secret weapon?"
"Colby's strength is really too weak. He's even going up for this match. There's really no one left in Tianjing."
"This isn't something to be surprised about. Who doesn't know that Tianjing's average strength is extremely weak? This time, the crux of the matter will be the performances of Wang Zhong, Grai and Barran."
"In any case, as long as we can win two matches, we'll let Wang Zhong fight the five of them by himself."
"Fuck! If I were Gui Hao, I would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood after hearing those words. The cross wheels have been on the scene for such a long time now. I don't believe that we can't find a way to counter them."
The spectator stands were noisy. Whether it was the neutral fans or the fans of both sides, they were all in a heated discussion.
In the preparation area, the two squadrons had completely different styles.
Over at Martial Ghost Divine Emperor's side, be it captain Gui Hao or the substitutes of the squadron, all of them were casually conversing with one another, appearing exceedingly relaxed.
Regardless of how miraculous Tianjing's performance and combat achievements were, it would not affect Martial Ghost Divine Emperor's mental state at all.
It couldn't be said that he was underestimating the enemy. His confidence was based on his absolute strength, as well as a detailed understanding of the enemy.
Those so-called 'reasonable' analyses from the outside world were merely blinded by a single leaf. They had only seen certain aspects of Tianjing's strength, and had overlooked their absolute weaknesses. What's more, even if Tianjing had a slight advantage, Gui Hao would be able to turn it into nothingness at any time as long as it was necessary.
It had to be said that the brain was a good thing, and Gui Hao was rather appreciative of Zhao Zimo's little tricks. If not for the latter's loyalty and disloyalty, Zhao Zimo's defection would truly make him like a tiger that had grown wings.
Remaining calm and unruffled, he sized up the preparation area before him, coincidentally meeting Wang Zhong's gaze.
Gui Hao gave a faint smile.
It was a rather complicated smile, with a hint of mockery and provocation, as well as a true killing intent hidden under the disguise!
Wang Zhong understood the meaning behind those gazes. In fact, he even suspected that the assassination attempt in Tianjing was somewhat related to the Gui Family. After all, at that time, he simply didn't have any reason to do so. Other than the matter with Carolyn, and the fact that Carolyn wouldn't go so far as to kill him to silence him, the remaining possibility would be Gui Hao, her potential fiancé.
Carolyn was also watching from the sidelines. In fact, both of them were pretty good. Perhaps, this duel would help her make a decision. The members of the Stuart squadron were all extremely relaxed. Their strength had already caused people to feel fear and dread at the sight of them. Together with the Heaven's Fate squadron, they had displayed an invincible S + rank might.
The vanguard battle was about to begin!
Grai VS Gui Wulie!
When the 2 of them walked out from the preparation area, a wave of cheers and whistles instantly rang out across the entire stadium. Being the absolute star of both squadrons, both Grai and Gui Wulie had large amounts of fan bases and popularity.
"Both parties have followed the rules as expected, with not the slightest bit of cowardice or avoidance. Looks like little Yu 'er's guess was correct. Choosing to let Grai take the first duel means that Tianjing hasn't given up on their desire for victory. This is also a counter to some of the rumours that have spread before the start of this duel. Despite the problems with their lineup, Tianjing hasn't given up! "
Following Ruo Zhi's impassioned voice, the focus of the audience converged onto the 2 people standing on the stage, before the entire stadium instantly turned silent.
Following Ruo Zhi's impassioned voice, the focus of the audience converged onto the 2 people standing on the stage, before the entire stadium instantly turned silent.
Grai had actually chosen a dagger as his weapon?!
This …
Facing one of the 5 great assassins on the Mo's List, Gui Wulie, he had actually chosen a dagger?!
Wasn't he a soldier?
Furthermore, facing a top-notch assassin, one could use a sword and runic shield to attack and defend. Even if one used their butts to think, they were truly unable to think of a reason for him to choose a dagger.
Could it be that he didn't remember the previous time when he had used a dagger to fight Zhao Tianlong? In the end, his dagger had been broken by his opponent, and he had only won empty-handed in the end? Therefore, what was the point of wasting time …
"Using a dagger against Gui Wulie … Grai 6666666!"
"Big bro! I'll give full marks for this dagger show-off! "
"That's how willful a handsome person can be!"
"Don't be jealous! You can be willful if you have the strength! "
"My Grai's really too handsome!"
The Skylink and stadium instantly turned into a sea of voices, with Ruo Zhi not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "From the looks of it, this weapon storm that has started from Tianjing will never play by the rules. Perhaps, there's a certain gap in their understanding of weapons compared to us normal people."
His loud laughter reverberated throughout the stadium, though Gui Wulie remained expressionless throughout.
With his hands behind his back, he stood there quietly, with not a single twitch of his muscles appearing on his face.
On his arm was a set of dark-red steel bracers that were currently flowing with an obscure brilliance. They appeared to be much thicker and thicker than ordinary bracers. Occasionally, one would be able to see runic symbols appearing on the bracers as the dark-red glow flowed across them. This was definitely not a purely defensive type of bracers.
Bloodthirsty Claw, the strange weapon that Gui Wulie had relied on to become famous. Such a strange and unpopular weapon would definitely pique the interest of many people during normal times. However, at this moment, it did not attract much attention. That's due to everyone looking towards him being involuntarily enveloped by a sliver of indifference, causing all of their attention to be involuntarily attracted by that sliver of indifference.
No, that wasn't indifference, but killing intent!
Clearly, he wasn't displaying any ferocious expression, nor did he make any threatening actions. In fact, Gui Wulie's face and facial features could be considered handsome. However, when he casually stood at a certain spot, the invisible killing intent radiating from him continued to radiate out!
As long as people took a single glance in that direction, they would feel a bone-chilling sensation! It was as though they were looking at a thousand kilometre wide glacier! Many people could not help but feel their bodies shivering.
However, standing opposite Gui Wulie was the exact opposite, Yang Chun Bai Xue.
A faint smile was present on Grai's face from beginning to end. Regardless of who his opponent was, it appeared as though this fight had nothing to do with him. He could smell the killing intent coming from Gui Wulie. This Gui Wulie should have carried out quite a few assassination missions, as the indifference present in his eyes was usually present in such people. That's because, in their hearts, they viewed all of the other participants as little kids who had yet to reach adulthood.
Both of them were top-class experts. In the instant that their gazes met, all of their attention was already focused on their opponent.
Killing intent surged out like waves, wave after wave. However, they were rapidly turned into smoke in the face of Grai's faint smile.
Gui Wulie felt slightly surprised. His killing intent was different from ordinary auras. When it took the initiative to radiate out in all directions, there were very few people who could remain as calm and collected as he did in the face of such terrifying killing intent. That was the instinct of an ordinary human. Even people with extremely good mental fortitude and powerful Spiritual Souls would still be affected by it.
Unless, he was an idiot, or was used to such killing intent …
However, that didn't matter.
Being able to withstand his killing intent might be due to some special experience that Grai had. Gui Wulie had seen all of Grai's CHF combat recordings, while Martial Ghost Divine Emperor had also sent professionals to carefully analyse everything about Grai.
He was very strong, but that was only at the level of "strong". Be it speed, strength, techniques or any other aspect, Gui Wulie was able to completely defeat him.
He shouldn't have to expend too much effort.
A faint curl appeared at the corner of Gui Wulie's mouth. To him, this was already a rather extravagant action. In the next instant, the competition bell rang!
With a tap of his feet, Gui Wulie's accumulated Soul Power suddenly erupted from his legs. Like a rocket propeller, it propelled him forward at lightning speed.
The slow and sluggish pace of this competition was basically child's play in the eyes of a genuine assassin.
Today, there wouldn't be any spectacular showdowns, nor would there be any long and drawn-out fights. Heaven's Fate and Stuart had already displayed their strength. Now, it was Martial Ghost Divine Emperor's turn. Not only did they have to win, they had to win in a crushing fashion!
Whoosh!
Gui Wulie's actions were faster than the sound of the competition bell, disappearing in a flash!
The absolute majority of the audience weren't even able to react in time, with only the large screens barely being able to capture Gui Wulie's figure. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, he had already rushed right before Grai!
Scarlet steel claws shot out from the hole in his arm, piercing straight towards Grai's throat.
A chilling glint sparkled in an instant.
Ding!
A crisp sound of a dagger clashing rang out, as Gui Wulie had actually blocked the attack.
Grai's actions appeared to be faster than what Gui Wulie had imagined. The evaluation of his speed by the squadron's tactical analyst was based on the usage of his runic sword and runic shield. However, when he used a dagger, the flexibility of the weapon brought about a change in his speed. It appeared as though he wanted to borrow the flexibility of the dagger to counter Gui Wulie's speed.
From the looks of it, Gui Wulie had done some research on Gui Wulie, and had come prepared. This was undoubtedly the correct choice. Against Gui Wulie, a dagger was an extremely good choice. However, the problem was that the Gui Family was the ancestor of all assassins!
A sliver of brilliance flashed across Gui Wulie's eyes.
With a twist of his hand, the steel claws instantly locked the dagger in place. Extending half a foot, the steel claws suddenly extended another half a foot forward, piercing straight towards Grai's chest!
However, not a single ripple appeared on Grai's face. With a flip of the dagger in his hand, the steel claws locked onto the dagger, causing it to grab hold of the dagger.
A massive twisting force was transmitted from the dagger, causing the steel claws to deviate from their original position!
Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha …
In an instant, a ferocious collision erupted between the dagger and the steel claws, as ear-piercing metallic screeches rang out from the clash.
Whoosh!
The 2 weapons slid past each other, before the 2 people on the ground smashed into each other once again. Dagger and steel claws rapidly clashed in the air at a speed not visible to the naked eye, as the 2 figures continued to weave in and out of the arena like swallows returning to the forest!
A series of weapons clashing rang out explosively in the air.
Fast, fast, fast, too fast!
The figures displayed on the large screen were too much for the eyes to take in!
Gui Wulie's steel claws appeared to be an extension of his arm. As the saying goes, man and weapon become one, the pursuit of a natural continuation. Using one's arm to control one's fingers was the reason why Gui Wulie was so fast.
As for Grai's speed, it was built on the incomparable and pure speed of his attacks!
The eruption of strength, the combination of the 2 daggers.
The actions of the 2 were truly too fast, to the point where even the most elite experts would be unable to see them clearly with their naked eyes. They would have to rely on their senses during the duel!
Admittedly, Gui Wulie's performance was within everyone's expectations. However, what caused everyone to feel astonished was Grai. At this moment, he was completely using the combat style of an assassin against the strongest assassin in the CHF. Although everyone knew that Grai was swaying from side to side, they could see that he was more inclined towards a soldier. Who would have thought that he would be so proficient in the combat style of an assassin? Being a fellow Mo's List assassin, the Gui Family, being the founder of the assassin class, had passed down techniques that were not to be underestimated. It was said that they had combat styles that specifically countered assassins. After all, they knew everything that other people knew, as well as things that other people didn't know.
Although the laymen in the audience might not be able to sense the increase in his speed, as long as it was an expert from the various great squadrons that had done some research on Tianjing and Grai, they would clearly be able to sense that his speed was much faster than in any of the previous matches!
Bang!
Whoosh!
With a single exchange, the daggers and steel claws created sparkling sparks in the air, before the 2 figures separated from each other at the same time. Both of them were breathing exceedingly steadily, as they clearly felt that their opponent wasn't that easy to deal with. In the earlier exchange, it was completely an assassin's combat style that danced at the tip of the blade. Other than the collision of weapons, everything else was a confrontation of movement techniques. A single misstep would have resulted in a fatal blow.
However, they were able to completely block it. The killing intent and insight that Gui Wulie had comprehended through the numerous assassination missions and various kinds of difficult environments weren't of much use against Grai. Clearly, this fellow definitely wasn't someone from the academies, as it was impossible for academies to have such a reaction! Gui Wulie's expression flickered.
He had smelled the aura of someone from the same race as him, which was completely different from the information he had obtained. Furthermore, he had also discovered an inconceivable matter, which was that Grai's strength would increase as the competition progressed. Although his speed and combat attitude appeared to have only increased slightly, in reality, they had already exceeded his family's analyst's evaluation of him. This person had concealed himself extremely deeply. There was a problem with this person.
Looks like Tianjing is coming for Tianjing. Once an expert takes action, there would be no doubt about it. Grai's exchange was more than enough to stun quite a few of the assassins present. Emily, who could only be a cheerleader for this match, was also dumbfounded. She knew that Grai was extremely strong. However, she never imagined that Grai would actually be able to hold his ground against an assassin of the level of Gui Wulie. She was truly too far away from him.
On the other hand, Grai continued to stand there quietly, adjusting his breathing. His calm and tranquil attitude had indeed attracted countless female fans.
At this moment, some colour had already appeared in Gui Wulie's empty eyes, while the killing intent that had been radiating from him since the start of the match suddenly dissipated into nothingness.
After concealing his killing intent, Gui Wulie felt as though he had lost all of his threat. However, Grai understood that his opponent had retracted his killing intent.
