Although Ling Xiao is confident in defeating Lei Lie, his opponent is not a weakling. Once given the opportunity to concede, there’s nothing he can do about it.
Thus, naturally, he had to devise a way to cut off Lei Lie’s retreat, making it impossible for him to surrender.
"Do you dare to accept a life-and-death duel with ?"
Ling Xiao looked at Lei Lie and asked coldly.
"Of course I dare!"
Lei Lie never imagined he would lose to Ling Xiao, so he obviously wouldn’t refuse such a promise.
Therefore, the battle between the two can essentially be considered a life-and-death struggle.
"Very well! In the round after next, I will challenge you. Be prepared, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to prepare!"
Ling Xiao gazed at Lei Lie coldly.
The reason it’s the round after next and not the next one is because he has already set his opponent for the next round, and that is Joshua Long.
Allowing Joshua Long to concede voluntarily also gives him a round’s worth of rest, which is better than surrendering to other Martial Artists.
"Suit yourself!"
Lei Lie nodded, saying, "Whether sooner or later, you’ll inevitably et your end."
Ling Xiao said no more to him but turned to Joshua Long, handing him a healing dicinal pill: "Use the ti to recover. In the next round, I’ll challenge you. Just concede."
"Alright!"
Surrendering to Ling Xiao, Joshua Long naturally wouldn’t oppose. He is well aware of Ling Xiao’s strength, not to ntion he is now injured. Even if it were a friendly spar, it would be impossible to defeat Ling Xiao.
Surrendering is the best choice.
"I didn’t expect to see a showdown between Ling Xiao and the top opponents so soon; I thought he would choose Zui Ling Long first."
"I thought so too. After all, Zui Ling Long is weaker than Lei Lie, and the probability of victory is greater."
"Ling Xiao is a man of sentint and righteousness, planning to avenge his brother, so naturally, he has to fight Lei Lie. Besides, it’s already the last few rounds; he has to fight Lei Lie eventually."
"Lei Lie’s sword techniques are outstanding, and Ling Xiao’s sword techniques are equally powerful. Will the two engage in a sword technique duel?"
"Hard to say, considering both of them have a diverse array of attack thods."
As people were discussing, Mu Wan Shuang stepped onto the arena, easily defeating her opponent without any suspense.
Ever since she revealed her strength, she has defeated opponents with just one move every single ti, leaving no one able to discern her full potential.
People even unanimously believe her strength is greater than Ling Xiao’s.
Among the top six, she is at least ranked in the top three.
After Mu Wan Shuang’s battle concluded, only small fry remained to peck at each other.
At least that’s what the spectators believe.
From this round onwards, Ling Xiao, Leng i, Phoenix Feiye, Tianai Ba Tu, Lei Lie, Mu Wan Shuang, Joshua Long, Zui Ling Long, Young Master Skywolf ford a small inner circle.
Because the remaining eight had already been challenged by them.
And those people had also battled the top nine, except for Green Hills Separation Fire, whose cultivation was previously ruined; the others have all failed against the top nine.
Now that Green Hills Separation Fire’s cultivation has been ruined by Ling Xiao, he is essentially a waste.
The current situation is the front nine fighting for the top nine positions, while the remaining eight vie for the bottom eight spots.
Even if the battles are split, there’s no problem.
This also makes the upcoming battles more exciting.
Whether it’s small fry pecking or strong matchups, at least the martial artists conceding directly are becoming fewer and fewer.
After all, the strength gap isn’t as wide anymore.
For the spectators, it’s the best scenario.
Of course, the small fry are relative.
Dan Feng, Silver Wolf Princess, Jun Moqing, Jun Mochou, Lan Xue, Red Moon, Sun Leng Chan—these seven are evenly matched.
Green Hills Separation Fire, of course, is seen as a point-giver, having his cultivation ruined by Ling Xiao, can only watch helplessly as others score points from him.
There’s nothing much to say about the next round.
Ling Xiao, as ntioned, challenged Joshua Long, who surrendered directly.
Thus, Ling Xiao continues his undefeated streak.
Leng i chose Green Hills Separation Fire, who hadn’t fought in the previous two rounds, so even during the small inner circle, Green Hills Separation Fire was still an option.
He gloriously beca a point-giving Tong Zi.
Phoenix Feiye chose Young Master Skywolf, easily winning.
At this point, Young Master Skywolf had long lost his confidence after being beaten by Leng i, and faced with Phoenix Feiye, he had no will to fight.
When it was Tianai Ba Tu’s turn, his options were already limited: either choose Lei Lie or Mu Wan Shuang.
Among the top nine, others had either fought this round or already been defeated by him.
After looking at Lei Lie and Mu Wan Shuang, Tianai Ba Tu ultimately focused on Lei Lie.
Compared to the enigmatic Mu Wan Shuang, Tianai Ba Tu clearly believed the old opponent Lei Lie was easier to handle.
Lei Lie was taken aback, looking visibly somber.
Tianai Ba Tu chose him over Mu Wan Shuang, which clearly ant he was considered not as good as Mu Wan Shuang?
"Tianai Ba Tu, you’ll pay for your choice!"
Terrifying power surged from Lei Lie, reaching the sky.
He, Phoenix Feiye, and Tianai Ba Tu were hailed as the most outstanding among the thirteen top talents.
But, in truth, his reputation was never as great as the other two.
The other two were renowned as the unparalleled duo.
He was not resigned to this, always thinking he was too low-key, leading to being underestimated and feeling inferior to the other two.
Now, Tianai Ba Tu stood before him.
As long as he defeated this guy, he could replace him and beco one of the unparalleled duo.
He was not afraid, only excited.
"Tianai Ba Tu, you will inevitably fall beneath my Thunder Shock!"
With this said, amazing lightning surged within Lei Lie, even attracting heavenly thunder, making heaven and earth change color.
Now, Lei Lie had only one concern left.
He turned to look at Ling Xiao, "Can we postpone our match?"
"Of course, a seriously injured Lei Lie is not interesting for to defeat."
Ling Xiao wanted to defeat Lei Lie honorably, making him admit defeat wholeheartedly. Killing an injured Lei Lie would indeed be boring and benefitless.
Understandably, such opponents are rare, and each battle significantly enhances his strength.
"Great, then I can wholeheartedly focus on the battle against Tianai Ba Tu!"
Although Lei Lie hated Ling Xiao, he also knew Ling Xiao’s word was absolute.
A promise was as good as a nail—words once spoken would not be retracted.
Tianai Ba Tu looked at Lei Lie calmly like a king, saying lightly, "Bring out all your strength, that’s the way it should be; otherwise, even if I defeat you, you won’t be convinced.
But rest assured, I won’t seriously injure you, nor will I kill you; I’ll keep you around to help kill Ling Xiao."
