Ch 112 - First Kill
Swooosh
Without any warning or any leverage, Crow suddenly shot back over a dozen yards, her axes held in front of her protectively. No one knew when she had done it, but only the members of the Fei Li Battle Team could see that Crow had somehow attached her Consolidated Equipment Chain to the edge of the stage.
Indeed, she had made use of the chain to pull herself backward instantaneously without any leverage.
BANG
Alas… unfortunately for Xu Chuan, the blow for which he had risked his life smashed savagely into the floor of the stage. It was as if a meteor had struck the diamond hard stage, with rubble and dust spraying into the air along with the huge explosion, erupting into the air like a ferocious volcano.
As the air cleared, a twenty-yard diameter huge crater was revealed in the center of the stage, and the very atmosphere around the stage seemed to have turned orange-red with the sheer heat.
The explosion was just too violent, the resulting shockwaves still reverberating across the plaza, almost breaking the various Rest Houses as the wave passed them.
Although Xu Chuan's cultivation level was only four-jeweled, such a strike with his ignited Flames of Life behind it, even a six-jeweled Heavenly Jewel Master would not want to take such a blow easily.
It took the time of several breaths before the intense heat in the air dissipated, though the air was still dusty. At that point, another dark red light lit up, flying forward.
"WE SURRENDER!!" Lang Xie shouted out immediately.
Alas… he was too late.
One of Crow's Legendary Axes, weighing over six hundred jin, spun in the air with a deadly air, burying itself deep into Xu Chuan's chest.
Already weak from burning up his Flame of Life, Xu Chuan was smashed to the ground by it.
With its weight and Crow's strength, such a blow was at least three thousand jin or more, let alone the fact that it was the axe blade that bit into his body.
Xu Chuan's entire chest caved in and split apart, every single rib and lung smashed into bits. Before he could even cry out, Xu Chuan's life had been swiftly taken by the flying axe.
Crow stood up from the other side of the stage, looking at the judge innocently. "Aiiii, he was so fierce, I thought he still had the fight in him. Leader Lang Xie, you should have surrendered for him earlier, look, making me feel so bad… sigh… to have a life just gone like this. I didn't do this on purpose, alas you were too slow in admitting defeat."
"You….!" Lang Xie almost spat out a mouthful of blood in rage as he glared at Crow, the flames in his eyes.
The other Bai Da Battle Team Members were also enraged, almost charging forward towards Crow.
Right at that moment, several ZhongTian officials from the Skill Storing Palace appeared, blocking their path.
When they released their six sets of Heavenly Jewels, no matter how angry the Bai Da Battle Team members were, they had no choice but to hold themselves back.
Even the judge on the stage couldn't bear to look at the mangled corpse of Xu Chuan. Crow walked over, pulling her axe from his body, a sorrowful look on her face as she mourned. "Aiii, I did not want to kill you… Why did you have to be born in the Bai Da Empire? Alas, you shouldn't have called yourself a Secret Arts Fire Warrior; without learning their secrets properly, you dared come on the stage to play around, sigh… dying in my hands, it was not unjust after all."
After the judge proclaimed the Fei Li Battle Team's victory, Crow walked down the stage.
Such a bloody scene caused the entire audience to lapse into silence. They had originally been looking forward to an exciting fight, but only then did they realize that the hate between the two empires was to such a degree.
This was truly a fight to the death for both sides.
As the officials once again cleared up the stage, the members of the Bai Da Battle Team all had bloodshot eyes.
As Crow returned to their Rest House, all the Fei Li Team Members gave her a big thumbs up.
Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but say. "Too cunning, that shorty did not die in vain!"
Crow said innocently: "I didn't say that I would clash recklessly with him to the end. Alas, his cultivation level wasn't strong enough to properly control his Flame of Life, and he could only strike down hard. Why wouldn't I dodge it? Alas, he wasn't thinking clearly at the end, so I had no choice but to help him go to his second life…"
Lin TianAo laughed and said: "You, your bloodlust is too strong. However, well done! Every powerful Bai Da Empire Heavenly Jewel Master we kill will save hundreds and thousands of our Fei Li soldiers. Alright, enough about that. Weiqing, who are you assigning to the next fight?"
Zhou Weiqing thought for a moment before saying: "Originally, I wanted to have Crow join me for this upcoming fight. However, she is pretty drained from her previous fight, and this is a critical fight for us. So, you and I will take on this fight."
Lin TianAo nodded and said. "Alright."
Even a person with usually as safe and stable a character like him was stirred up by the previous fight, and there was a brilliant gleam in his eyes.
Zhou Weiqing lowered his voice and whispered in his ears, and Lin TianAo nodded.
It was time for their 2v2 fight!
In the first two fights, both sides had each scored a victory. Without question, this third fight was now an extremely critical one. Whoever won this would not only gain a huge upper hand but also a match point, possibly leading to victory!
Very quickly, the stage was repaired.
From the start of the entire Heavenly Jewel Tournament, the only two times the stage had to be repaired were for the Fei Li Battle Team's fights; and more amusingly so, both times the one who destroyed the stage was their opponent!
As Zhou Weiqing and Lin TianAo ascended the stage, the opposing leader Lang Xie, and the Darkness Heavenly Jewel Master who had fought in the first fight, Qing Qian, also ascended the stage.
Without a doubt, Lang Xie was also determined to take this important third fight.
Looking at the anger in Lang Xie and Qing Qian's eyes, Zhou Weiqing smiled like a gentleman. "Hello, you two. Do not worry, both Leader and I are much kinder and not as violent as Crow. Sigh… such a shame… Such a four-jeweled Secret Arts Fire Warrior, it must have been tough to cultivate him up right?"
Qing Qian exclaimed angrily. "Stop acting and shedding crocodile tears. I'll definitely kill you later!"
Seeing that the animosity between both sides was so strong, the judge quickly interrupted. "Both sides, report your names. Fight, Start."
He totally skipped over all the formalities, and after saying that retreated swiftly to the corner of the stage.
After both sides had introduced themselves, Zhou Weiqing swiftly took out his Overlord Bow.
This critical 2v2 match had finally begun.
