Dozens of tipped comnts flooded in, all disparaging the mysterious man and predicting a victory for Mountain Opening Tiger.
Of course, after seeing Jiang Xinghai in his chef's attire, plenty of female fans also developed a crush and left comnts of their own.
"Little Chef must win!"
"Go, Little Chef! I'm rooting for you!"
"Mysterious Little Chef, dice up Mountain Opening Tiger and serve him!"
Rockets and supercars flew across the screen as the live comnts split into two opposing factions.
As the stream's popularity soared, the nationwide viewership hit one million.
Yet atop Luolin Mountain, the fight had yet to officially begin.
"Mountain Opening Tiger, are you just going to stand there like a statue?" The cigarette in Jiang Xinghai's hand was nearly burnt out.
"Hmph! I am rely allowing you to enjoy the last cigarette of your life." Wanyan Xiong stood with his hands clasped behind his back. With the entire nation watching, he had to project an air of magnanimity.
"Then I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed."
Jiang Xinghai lit a new cigarette from the old one, still pinching the smoldering butt. "No matter how confident you are, I will use this cigarette butt to utterly crush you tonight."
"Such arrogance!" Mountain Opening Tiger was about to strike.
But the thought of the live broadcast made him restrain himself.
He then cupped his fist and surveyed the area around the ring. "Everyone, I, Wanyan Xiong, accept this mysterious man's challenge to a deathmatch. Regardless of victory or defeat, neither side shall bear any grudge!"
He felt much better after shouting those words.
"Your turn!" Wanyan Xiong said, turning his head toward Jiang Xinghai.
"I don't have much to say. After this battle, Wanyan Xiong will vanish from this world, and that includes the Wanyan Family." Jiang Xinghai maintained his playful deanor, his gaze suddenly landing on Wanyan Honglie and his n below the ring.
Instantly, a monstrous aura erupted from Wanyan Honglie.
At the sa ti, a powerful pressure emanated from Du Jingsong not far away.
"Hahaha…"
On the ring, Wanyan Xiong burst out laughing, clutching his stomach. "A re firefly daring to outshine the moon? Since you're in such a hurry to die, let's fight with everything we've got."
"I'm ready when you are," Jiang Xinghai said indifferently, taking a drag from his cigarette.
"Co on. I'll let you make the first move, lest the world think I'm bullying a junior!" Wanyan Xiong truly couldn't stand Jiang Xinghai's posture.
That air of absolute disdain for the world really irked him.
Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly. "Are you sure you want to go first?"
"Of course." Wanyan Xiong placed one hand behind his back and gestured forward with the other.
"Sigh. You went to all this trouble; I'd almost feel bad killing you in a single blow. Let's play for a bit first. It'll be a worthy payoff for all your hard work." Before the words had even left his mouth, the cigarette butt in his hand shot forward.
WHOOSH!
The butt tore through the air, struck Wanyan Xiong's outstretched palm, and then bizarrely reappeared back in Jiang Xinghai's hand.
"Hmph!"
Wanyan Xiong was completely unfazed, but when he lifted his hand to look, his expression froze.
There was a hole in his palm, dripping blood.
It had been pierced through by the cigarette butt Jiang Xinghai had thrown!
"What?"
"No way!"
"Am I seeing things?"
Cries of alarm rose from all around the ring.
It was just a cigarette butt!
At the sa ti, fans watching the livestream all across the country gasped.
"You've got to be kidding . A cigarette butt pierced his palm?"
"A bullet, maybe, but a cigarette butt definitely doesn't have that kind of power!"
"Are they using special effects?"
Many people with no exposure to the world of Martial Arts naturally refused to believe it.
But for the many martial artists watching, the sight sent a chill down their spines.
In the hands of a Martial Arts expert, even a grain of sand could kill without a trace!
Wanyan Xiong was strong, but the mysterious man was stronger!
"I knew he was strong!"
"Sis, Brother Hai is so cool!"
At the Shen Group headquarters, Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin clutched their phones, holding their breath as their eyes shone with excitent.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
On the ring, Wanyan Xiong stared at the crimson blood dripping from his hand, his gaze turning to Jiang Xinghai with an expression of disbelief.
He hadn't used his Vigorous Qi Body Protection, so Jiang Xinghai had gotten a lucky shot in. Even so, he was still utterly shocked.
"Seems a little unrealistic, doesn't it?"
Jiang Xinghai, still smoking, casually tossed the blood-stained butt in his hand. "Don't worry. This next ti, feel it carefully. Then you'll understand it's real."
With that, he flicked the cigarette butt again.
WHOOSH!
Once again, it tore through the air.
"You dare, you cur!" A ring of fla-like energy, his Vigorous Qi Body Protection, imdiately flared up around Wanyan Xiong.
He couldn't afford to be careless anymore!
However, the incoming cigarette butt spun like a Vajra Drill, rapidly eating its way through his defense.
"No!"
In that instant, Wanyan Xiong's confidence finally crumbled into utter disbelief.
'But I'm a Great Venerable!'
'I had a great fortuitous encounter, I've cultivated for decades, and I just took that critical step... only to be defeated in my very first battle by a junior?'
ZING!
But no matter how he struggled, the seemingly insignificant cigarette butt still pierced through his Vigorous Qi Body Protection.
