Excessive ferocity due to caution

If Zhao Yi's ability to withstand John's attack last time was merely surprising to everyone, then his use of the whip hand this time was truly astonishing!

"You also know ancient martial arts?"

John was horrified and jerked back, but his left arm was still struck.

The skin there quickly turned bruised and swollen!

Moreover, due to improper force dissipation, his injuries were more severe than Zhao Yi's, and the surrounding muscle groups had begun to feel pain and numbness.

"Learning something new and applying it immediately."

"How about you teach me a few more moves?"

Zhao Yi flashed a bright smile.

John's eyes flickered with uncertainty, filled with extreme vigilance.

"Impossible... Ancient martial arts techniques must be something that can only be learned through years of practice and refinement."

"Is he pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?"

"Oh……"

John's thoughts wandered.

He vividly remembers how much effort and hardship he had endured while practicing ancient martial arts under his master.

Even the simplest combat techniques require a long period of practice and refinement!

How can you learn something like this and apply it immediately?

Zhao Yi is bluffing him!

Thinking of this, John sneered:

"Learning it on the spot?"

"Then sell me another one!"

His figure suddenly moved, dodging left and right, and he charged towards Zhao Yi!

A punch, a palm strike.

Zhao Yi dodged and turned to fight back.

Whip Hand!

Snapped!

Clap clap clap!

Five-Strike Lightning Whip!

John barely managed to withstand the five consecutive blows of the whip with his incomplete deflection. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he used his right hand to form a sword, thrusting it swiftly into Zhao Yi's heart with a short burst of force!

Martial Arts Technique - Heart Piercing Finger!

Piercing Finger is one of the most lethal combat techniques among the low-level combat skills in ancient martial arts. It is a one-hit kill technique!

Zhao Yi immediately sensed the flow of power between his opponent's fingers. Before John could use the Heart-Piercing Finger, he cleverly took a step back and used the Whip Hand again!

Snapped!

Zhao Yi's whip hand accurately struck John's piercing finger, deflecting the force of the two deadly finger attacks!

puff!

John's finger strike still hit Zhao Yi in the heart!

However, because the force deviated too much from its original trajectory, John's Heart Piercing Finger did not achieve its intended effect.

Even though her fingertips had already pierced Zhao Yi's skin.

But the force didn't reach the heart.

John knew this, of course.

He tried to pull his hand away and retreat, but was shocked to see that Zhao Yi was imitating him, pointing his fingers as a sword!

This is……

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

John's eyes widened, and he felt a chill run down his spine!

He tried to retreat, but it was clearly too late!

Zhao Yi had just used his skill in butchering oxen to predict John's power flow and take countermeasures in advance, which was how he barely managed to dodge the attack!

John realized what was happening, but it was too late!

A confident smile flickered across Zhao Yi's lips.

call out!

A sound like the air cracking came from behind.

In that instant, Zhao Yi concentrated all his strength into his fingertips, leaving him with no defense whatsoever!

No defense is needed!

Combat technique... Piercing Finger!

Unlike John's finger strike that deflected the force of his attack, Zhao Yi's fingertip did not pierce John's skin. Instead, it lightly touched John's heart as if it were a dragonfly skimming the water.

A faint, almost invisible ripple spread from John's heart.

John's eyes widened slightly.

He stood there, his lips pressed tightly together, motionless.

His whole being seemed to have transformed into a sculpture.

Zhao Yi slowly stepped back, stretched out his finger, and gently rubbed a little blood on the wound on his chest.

A little blood for two ancient martial arts techniques.

He felt it was worth it.

The spectators below the ring fell into a deathly silence, their eyes fixed on John on the ring.

The blue team was trying to see John move again.

"John! Don't just stand there!"

"Get him!"

"Fuck him!"

Many people already knew that John was dead.

But they didn't give up.

Even someone as strong as John is no match for Zhao Yi, so what are they going to do?

[Contestant John is eliminated, Zhao Yi wins!]

[You have five minutes to rest. The next battle will begin in five minutes.]

A mechanical voice devoid of emotion emanated from the room.

The blue team members slumped into their seats, their faces deathly pale.

A hint of fear had appeared in their eyes as they looked at Zhao Yi...

If they encounter this guy in the ring...

What are the chances of winning?

...

Guxuan Town.

The clown, who was watching a silent film in his card room, suddenly received a phone call.

It answered the call, and a familiar voice came from the other end.

"Butler, is there any new task?"

"Ah? Lord Drax?"

"Oh...I don't know, they didn't come to Valley Suspension Town."

"Yeah, I can't get in touch with them either. I thought it was strange a while ago..."

"No, the road from Guxuan Town to the ruined city is blocked, I can't get there... Could you send some more people from the church to take a look?"

"The church is short of manpower... Alright then, I'll continue to keep an eye on things here."

"Alright, I'll contact you as soon as I hear news of Lord Drax."

The clown hung up the phone and gave a cold laugh.

Hypocritical old man.

I want to come over, but I don't dare to.

The loss of four near-Great Ferocious beings has already made the Church wary.

Due to the high mountains and long roads, they were unaware of what had happened in Guxuan Town.

Therefore, they are unwilling to pay a greater price to send more people.

Just as he had guessed.

Once this group is dealt with, the church will be peaceful for a long time.

I can finally relax a little.

Being drawn into the conflict between the Fifth Federation and the Church is a real problem.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

This was clearly reflected in them this time.

Many people died in Guxuan Town.

Large areas of buildings were destroyed.

We almost went back to square one.

If it weren't for the strange power within Ouyang Feng's body being killed by the talisman left by Jiang Xiao at the guild's headquarters, who knows what this area would have become!

...

Chris fought fiercely on stage.

Meanwhile, Barbara, representing the red team below, kept staring at the pendant around Zhao Yi's waist.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao frowned and said:

"What?"

"Trying to steal my kidneys?"

Upon hearing this, Barbara composed herself, abandoning her previous perverted and lewd expression, and said seriously:

"Where did you get this pendant?"

Zhao looked down.

It's the guild warehouse manager's identification badge.

It was given to him when Liu Ruoqing left.

"A friend gave it to me."

He said it calmly.

Barbara, unwilling to give up, pressed on:

"What's your name?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Liu Ruoqing".

Barbara was stunned.

"Are you a friend of Master Liu?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhao raised an eyebrow and said:

"Why do you call her Master Liu?"

Barbara glanced into the distance and suddenly felt her thoughts were in disarray.

How could this weak man know Master Liu?

Zhao Yi's warehouse manager ID badge had Liu Ruoqing's personal pendant attached to it.

Barbara couldn't possibly mistake that pendant!

"Why do you call her Master Liu?"

"Because...she's the founder of the Liu Group!"

Barbara's expression was solemn and devout.

"Since you are a friend of Master Liu, do you know where Master Liu is now?"

Zhao Yi took a sip of mineral water and shook his head, saying:

"have no idea."

She said she was going to take a very dangerous road.

Barbara was taken aback by what she heard:

"Master Liu... so he really did go to the Path of Immortality after all..."
