However, just as Xiao Yefeng rolled over to dodge the blade, he sensed the smell of death closing in on him. Without a moment's hesitation, he quickly rolled away diagonally, and sure enough, after a series of rapid gunfire sounds, several bullet holes appeared where he had just been standing.
Kerry held a sword in his right hand while his left hand was gripping a mini submachine gun, which was clearly the weapon he had concealed beneath his light armor. The rules of the competition did not prohibit the use of firearms, but Xiao Yefeng did not expect someone to combine cold and hot weapons so soon.
The appearance of the submachine gun infuriated the spectators from Huaxia. Protests erupted among the crowd, with disdainful remarks echoing through the arena. At that moment, Jin stepped forward and said, "Since the rules allow for firearms, I believe Kerry's approach is not wrong. You all can use them too!"
Jin's words plunged everyone into silence. Indeed, they had all thought the same way—using firearms as a trump card—but they hadn't expected Church to act first. This gave everyone else a chance to prepare. However, it was too late; nothing else mattered now.
At this moment in the arena, Xiao Yefeng stood with his sword drawn while Kerry looked at him with regret. Yet Kerry had holstered his mini submachine gun and showed no intention of using it again. Xiao Yefeng remained unfazed.
"You've indeed grown stronger, but it's a pity that your stubbornness will lead you to defeat against us Church!" Kerry declared.
"I never expected the despicable tactics of Church to be so flamboyant!" Xiao Yefeng replied with a smile.
Their conversation barely allowed for any pause before they resumed their fierce exchange. Kerry wielded his broad sword with powerful swings while Xiao Yefeng countered with his wooden sword. Their styles were completely different; one relied on brute force while the other utilized skill. After exchanging blows for several rounds, it became clear that a victor was emerging.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As their swords clashed, Xiao Yefeng used his sword as bait and threw three punches in quick succession. The force from his strikes landed on Kerry's chest and abdomen, causing him to lose his combat ability in an instant. In life-and-death battles like this, even if previous exchanges had been thrilling, the decisive blow could come in a flash. Those three punches drained all of Kerry's strength, and they found themselves locked together—neither could wield their weapons effectively.
In that moment, Xiao Yefeng reversed his grip on the black sword and thrust the hilt into Kerry's vital point. Instantly, Kerry coughed up blood and fell backward under the weight of his broad sword. Without hesitation, Xiao Yefeng aimed for Kerry's throat; if there was a Heart Shield Mirror on his back, then there must be something similar at his front, making the throat the only fatal target.
Just then, Kerry opened his mouth, blood spilling out as he gasped, "I concede! I concede!"
With a thud, Kerry collapsed onto the arena floor while Xiao Yefeng's blade remained poised at his throat. A second later would have meant bloodshed everywhere. Several knights from below rushed onto the stage to carry Kerry away. Thus, Xiao Yefeng successfully defended his title in this first battle! Although it appeared he had won by luck, Jin knew from their previous encounters that Xiao Yefeng had not even fought at full strength; he was merely stalling to avoid revealing more of his capabilities!
At this moment, Jin faced another challenger. He too could not step down; otherwise, he would surely be next in line to face Xiao Yefeng!
However, Jin's reluctance did not stop others from seeking trouble with Xiao Yefeng. With a mischievous grin on his face, Sakai Tomokazu stepped onto Xiao Yefeng's arena just three minutes after he had defeated Kerry. Clearly seizing an opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Yefeng's fatigue.
"Here we meet again! Unfortunately for you this time, you're going to lose to me—I’m here to settle an old score!" Sakai Tomokazu said through gritted teeth.
Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes and glanced at Sakai Tomokazu. "I hope you won't resort to sacrificing your teammates to buy time and escape like last time!"
"You! Well said! There's an old saying in Huaxia: 'A scholar should be treated with respect after three days apart!' You'll see that I'm no longer the same Sakai Tomokazu you faced before!" Sakai declared as he stepped onto the stage, clearly waiting for Xiao Yefeng to respond.
At that moment, Li Xiangjun stepped forward and said, "Wind, why not wait a moment? The victor can request a thirty-minute challenge break!"
"Vice President! No need for that! This Demon has shed too much blood of our people; only his death can wash away this hatred!" Xiao Yefeng declared firmly.
The arena was small, and Sakai Tomokazu, being from the True Spirit Realm, naturally heard Xiao Yefeng's words. He scoffed, "You think you can keep me here? I believe it's them who will be collecting your corpse!"
"You're insufferable!" Xiao Yefeng stood up in anger, his sword poised, clearly ready to fight. The battle between the two had begun, and no one could stop it.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to hold back. Treasure Box, activate!" Seeing Xiao Yefeng abandon the idea of resting, Sakai Tomokazu wasted no time. He pulled out a black box less than a foot long and three inches wide from his robe. The moment the box appeared, Xiao Yefeng recognized it as the Yomi Box belonging to Li Ji. It was laughable that this person had renamed it Treasure Box; even in name, he wanted it to be a product of Wa Country!
"This kid is doomed. Sakai's treasure box can connect to the powers of the underworld. If it weren't for my Spirit Talisman technique, even I would be at a disadvantage!" Kazama Tadao watched eagerly from below the arena, his greed for the treasure box evident in his eyes.
"Whoosh!"
A dark arrow shot out from the Yomi Box, aimed directly at Xiao Yefeng. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng had not yet raised his sword for defense; his left hand couldn't use the Spirit Talisman to shield him. His pupils seemed to have already seen the approaching black arrow. However, just then, a piercing spear emerged from the void and deflected the black arrow while a Ghost Body appeared above Xiao Yefeng.
Zitong was clad in somewhat ill-fitting armor and wielded a gleaming silver spear, accompanied by an expression of disdain. The deflected black arrow transformed mid-air into a dark-feathered bird exuding black mist as it swooped down onto Sakai Tomokazu's shoulder before morphing into a twin ghostly figure—Gu Huo Niao!
"Indeed something is amiss; how can you ignore my Nether Energy?" Gu Huo Niao glared at Zitong.
"Call me a ghost if you want; if I hadn't lost part of my memory, I'd tell you that my age would scare you senseless!" Zitong retorted.
"Arrogant! Just like your master, both stubborn as mules—perfect nourishment for my Treasure Box!" Sakai Tomokazu opened the treasure box, but Nether Energy had already enveloped him; even his words carried an eerie undertone.
"Die!" Gu Huo Niao shouted with an unearthly voice as it transformed into ghostly flames rushing toward Xiao Yefeng at speeds exceeding those from Taiyu Island!
Seeing the massive ghostly flames shaped like Gu Huo Niao, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but frown. Had they forgotten the pain after healing their wounds? Did they not remember why they had been beaten so badly last time?
The Zhao Yin Gate materialized, its two wooden doors swinging open as eerie blue light shone upon Gu Huo Niao. However, at that moment, Xiao Yefeng heard Sakai Tomokazu's laughter and the uproarious laughter of the Wa Country crowd below.
Instantly understanding what was happening, Xiao Yefeng realized that the usually effective Zhao Yin Gate was now ineffective against Gu Huo Niao. Wrapped in Nether Energy, Gu Huo Niao moved freely beneath Zhao Yin Gate just like Zitong could fight without restraint!
"Hahaha! Do you think I'm a fool? Knowing about Zhao Yin Gate's existence, would I still use Shikigami to battle you? Let me tell you! With Nether Energy present, Zhao Yin Gate treats my Shikigami as Yin Si entities; your trump card is now useless!" Sakai Tomokazu brandished a long Yellow Talisman Paper and charged toward Xiao Yefeng.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng also heard Zitong's voice in his heart. Zitong said, "Not only that, I am very familiar with this Nether Energy. This box must be obtained; I feel a part of my memory is here!"
"Bang!"
Gu Huo Niao's Ghost Body struck Zitong's Armor with a punch. Although Zitong was unharmed, he was sent flying far away. Taking advantage of the situation, Gu Huo Niao extended his claws toward Xiao Yefeng.
"Hmph, you lonely ghost dare to be arrogant? Do you really think that without Zhao Yin Gate, I am an easy target?" With that, Xiao Yefeng pulled out a Yellow Talisman from his pocket and affixed it to the sword's blade. The Soul Severing Sword instantly shone brightly as if it had been injected with a stimulant. After forcing Gu Huo Niao back with one strike, he turned the sword around and sent the Yellow Talisman flying, sticking it onto Gu Huo Niao and causing it to explode. The Ghost Body scattered under the blow, and Gu Huo Niao's body, enhanced by Nether Energy, was shattered by Xiao Yefeng.
However, Nether Energy was still Nether Energy; the dispersed Ghost Body reformed. At this moment, Zitong said, "Yes, that's the aura!" With that, Zitong transformed into a dark light and drilled into the newly reformed Nether Energy. Meanwhile, Gu Huo Niao let out a furious roar: "Get rid of him! He is stealing my Nether Energy!"
At this time, Sakai Tomokazu, who originally held a talisman intending to attack Xiao Yefeng, could only turn around to assist Gu Huo Niao. The Yellow Talisman floated up and stuck to the Nether Energy in mid-air. A flash of light forced Zitong's Ghost Body out. However, Xiao Yefeng was not idle either; with a sweep of the Soul-Severing Black Sword, Sakai Tomokazu's Yellow Talisman was cut in half by the sword energy. Without the obstruction of the Yellow Talisman, Zitong once again drilled into Gu Huo Niao's body.
"Get lost!" Sakai exclaimed in surprise as he activated his inner power to drive Zitong away. However, at that moment, Xiao Yefeng had already closed in and pierced Sakai with a sword that emerged from his right neck, nearly tearing his throat apart. At this point, Sakai could only focus on himself and abandon Gu Huo Niao for self-preservation!
Now suppressed, Sakai Tomokazu finally realized that even with the Yomi Box in his possession, he was still no match for Xiao Yefeng. Unable to endure the humiliation of losing to Xiao Yefeng again, he pulled out two retractable short sticks from his pocket. When combined, they formed a shuttle-shaped steel rod in Sakai Tomokazu's hand.
"Xiao Yefeng, forcing me to use Rotation Technique means you are destined to die today!" Sakai Tomokazu seemed to be steeling himself.
"Hmph!" Without saying another word, Xiao Yefeng attacked to convey to Sakai Tomokazu that today would be his last day!
