In the hall, Liu Yiyi and Mei Mo'er were anxiously watching Xiao Yefeng's match. Meanwhile, Luo Renjie and Li Chun were also frustrated, wondering how Intricate Calculations had failed to account for Liu Yiyi finding such a formidable opponent.
On the other side, Zhu Ganglie and a man were pointing at Xiao Yefeng, clearly analyzing him. However, the most excited was Han Mei in the control room. Xiao Yefeng's strength had gained Han Mei's recognition, and she was busy recording information about him while seemingly reporting to someone else.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was locked in a fierce battle with Amakage. Every move Amakage made exuded a masterful aura, and his exceptional fighting skills rendered Xiao Yefeng's grappling techniques ineffective. The flexibility of Amakage's joints and his explosive muscle power made Xiao Yefeng's Dislocation Technique utterly useless. Moreover, Amakage emanated an imposing presence that made Xiao Yefeng feel as if he were facing a giant Buddha statue.
Despite this, Xiao Yefeng showed no mercy; anyone who sought to kill him was his enemy. Even if it were a compassionate Buddha, Amakage was merely a devout Yoga Master who had practiced yoga beneath the statue for years, giving his body an almost divine glow.
This situation posed a challenge for Xiao Yefeng, but he would not hold back. Amakage declared, "You are strong. I will use my ultimate technique now. Although I do not wish to do so, I will not show mercy for the sake of victory!"
"Hmph, bring it on! I want to see what abilities your perfected yoga techniques possess!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
Amakage twisted his body and suddenly spun around, using centrifugal force to launch his right fist straight toward Xiao Yefeng's temple. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng realized that Amakage's yoga techniques were a perfect blend with Muay Thai. The ferocity of Muay Thai combined with the explosive nature of yoga created a devastating right hook in Amakage's hands.
Only a fool would try to take that punch head-on. Shrinking his body, Xiao Yefeng evaded the blow and raised his left fist to strike at Amakage's armpit. He believed that this punch would catch Amakage off guard.
However, just then, the tattoo on Amakage's chest seemed to come alive as a monstrous creature opened its massive jaws to bite at Xiao Yefeng's left fist. Initially thinking it was an illusion, a sudden chill in the air alerted Xiao Yefeng’s keen senses to the fact that it was actually a Spirit Tamer!
Caught off guard, Xiao Yefeng had no time to channel his internal energy; he could only change his left fist into a finger jab. Using the inherent yang energy within him, he struck at the Spirit Tamer’s sharp teeth, forcing them apart. Immediately after, he performed a backflip to create distance between them. To onlookers, it appeared as though Xiao Yefeng had merely swung and missed before quickly retreating to avoid Amakage’s attack.
However, only the ninja Ghost Head Blade in the audience, along with Zhu Ganglie and the man beside him in the hall, could truly appreciate what had just transpired. Zhu Ganglie and the other man were astonished by Xiao Yefeng’s recent actions; they hadn’t expected him to effortlessly counter such a well-planned strike from Amakage.
"You are no ordinary person! You are not just a Yoga Master; you are a Sorcerer!" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed.
"I didn't expect you to be anything but ordinary either," Amakage replied. "It seems we have a real fight on our hands. But I cannot claim the title of Sorcerer; at most, I am merely a Yoga Master who has tamed spirits."
"You dare to attack an ordinary person? If this man weren't under my protection, you would have severely harmed him! Do you understand?" Xiao Yefeng said angrily.
"Of course I know, but as long as we win, that's all that matters!" With that, Amakage lunged down from above, while he himself transformed into a sharp sword aimed directly at Xiao Yefeng.
"What a notion of winning! Let me show you so-called scholars what true Huaxia secret arts are!" With that, Xiao Yefeng focused his inner energy at his fingertips and struck the center of Spirit Tamer's forehead with a Vajra Finger. However, he quickly transformed his right hand from a fist into a palm blade, directly countering Amakage's charging punch.
"Smack!" A light sound echoed as Spirit Tamer halted in mid-air, while Xiao Yefeng's palm blade missed Amakage's punch and instead sliced down onto Amakage's shoulder. At that moment, Amakage let out a furious roar, and the Buddha light that Xiao Yefeng had thought was surrounding him instantly vanished. It seemed as if a Yin Qi enveloped him, and a thin layer of Ghost Mist appeared around Amakage, blocking Xiao Yefeng's palm blade.
"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, Cleansing Soul Finger! Purifying Soul Finger!" Just as Xiao Yefeng was blocked, his other hand formed a finger technique. A surge of Inspiration flowed through his fingers as he jabbed at Amakage's chest. In an instant, the Ghost Mist dissipated, and Amakage crumpled to the ground like a fish scorched by the blazing sun. On Amakage's chest, where Xiao Yefeng had struck, a circular mark appeared that was actually octagonal in shape. Each edge bore a Bagua Diagram before it sank into his skin, leaving behind only a bluish-purple fingertip bruise.
"Ooh!" A collective gasp filled the arena, followed by an uproarious cheer. Various pieces of jewelry were thrown into the air among several room cards; clearly, Xiao Yefeng's performance had won the admiration of several ladies. Without even glancing at them, Xiao Yefeng pulled up Amakage and said, "Your ghost-raising technique has been sealed. If you dare to entertain thoughts of raising ghosts within three days, your soul will return to blissful paradise. Have you heard? The dead are paramount; obstructing ghosts from reincarnation is a grave sin. I advise you to abandon such thoughts before Yin Si discovers them!"
With that, Xiao Yefeng stood on the Arena and pointed at Ghost Head Blade. "You there! Demon! Come up here!"
His words ignited the crowd's excitement, and at that moment, Han Mei shouted through the speakers, "Our victor intends to challenge continuously! Do you agree?"
"Agree! Agree with him!" The cheers from the crowd drowned out Han Mei's voice.
Meanwhile, Ghost Head Blade stood on the Arena opposite Xiao Yefeng. As they faced each other, Xiao Yefeng realized that Ghost Head Blade was less than five foot seven but radiated an intense coldness. Without needing to guess, Xiao Yefeng knew this Demon was no good; this chilling aura was nothing but murderous intent—something born from taking many lives.
Xiao Yefeng was all too familiar with murderous intent. While he wouldn't dare compare himself to the heroes of the founding era in terms of bloodlust, he was certainly far stronger than this Demon who relied on fear to intimidate others.
"You are quite arrogant," Ghost Head Blade remarked. "Huaxia people are always so self-righteous!"
"Demon, just how many people have you killed? This aura of murder suggests at least a dozen lives have fallen by your hands!" Xiao Yefeng gritted his teeth.
After a strange cackle, Ghost Head Blade replied, "You Chinese! Let me tell you—I’ve killed so many Chinese that I can't even count them on my fingers. What now? Do you want to avenge them?"
"On this tiny piece of land, I've killed more people than you've ever seen!" With that, Xiao Yefeng charged directly at Ghost Head Blade.
This was not just bravado; it was the truth. During his time with the Zodiac, Xiao Yefeng once undertook a mission where he planted dozens of bombs in a building in Wa Country. When he pressed the remote control, the entire hundred-story building collapsed, claiming the lives of at least thirty to fifty thousand people inside and outside. This was also why the Cheap Brother Xiao Yefeng's ancestors had accumulated insufficient causality for him to use. After all, nearly fifty thousand deaths, though only a fraction of that burden fell on Xiao Yefeng, was still a significant loss of virtue.
"Today, I will use your soul to commemorate your arrogance!" With that, Ghost Head Blade suddenly surged forward, transforming into a whirlwind that rushed towards Xiao Yefeng. To an ordinary person, it seemed as if he had teleported, appearing right next to Xiao Yefeng in an instant.
Ghost Head Blade's movements were too swift for an average person to comprehend. However, Xiao Yefeng could see clearly that Ghost Head Blade's hands were gripping a shimmering silver blade that was thinner than a razor. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng understood why Amakage had always used clever tactics to defend against him; it turned out this demon wielded a blade. If he had tried to block it with his bare hands without checking first, he would have suffered greatly.
"Despicable!" After dodging the strike from Ghost Head Blade's hand, Xiao Yefeng shouted.
"This is called deception in warfare! It seems you haven't learned your ancient teachings well! Everything belongs to our Emperor!" Ghost Head Blade countered with another slash aimed at Xiao Yefeng's clothing after his first attack failed.
At this moment, Ghost Head Blade wielded a specially crafted blade, putting them in an awkward position. Xiao Yefeng dared not confront him head-on; this shameless fellow even had hidden steel needles in the elbow areas of his ninja outfit. Just moments ago, without realizing it, Xiao Yefeng had been pricked by one of those steel needles in his elbow. Fortunately, the needle was not poisoned, and he quickly reacted by kicking Ghost Head Blade away.
Now, the only option left for attack was his feet; after all, his shoes could still help him evade some attacks. However, Ghost Head Blade pressed on relentlessly and aimed another hand strike at Xiao Yefeng's throat. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng declared, "Demons can only resort to tricks!"
Channeling his strength, Xiao Yefeng kicked towards Ghost Head Blade's wrist. His foot generated a fierce gust of wind; if it connected, even if Ghost Head Blade didn't break his wrist, he would lose the ability to fight with his right hand!
"You've got guts! Let me show you what divine might is!" Ghost Head Blade did not evade or dodge; instead, he met Xiao Yefeng's kick head-on. Just then, a dark bracelet on Ghost Head Blade's wrist flashed and an invisible energy shield appeared before Xiao Yefeng's foot. There was a loud clang as their limbs collided in front of onlookers.
