"A great hit!"
"Sect Master Bai is mighty!"
"Kill that man from Wa Country! Show him the might of a Daxia Martial Artist!"
The disciples of the White Cloud Sect were especially fired up, their shouts shaking the heavens.
They could finally vent all the frustration they’d been bottling up lately!
The dignitaries in the front row couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves, satisfied smiles on their faces.
The Commander-in-Chief and vice-chiefs of the City Affairs Bureau nodded slightly, the corners of their mouths curving into a subtle smile.
The few consuls from the Western World lost their amused, spectating smiles, their expressions turning more serious.
The consul from the Great United States uncrossed his legs and sat up straight.
But in the very next moment, Watanabe Takeshi slammed a fist into the concrete arena floor beneath him!
With a BOOM!, a large section of concrete shattered under his fist, sending countless stone fragments flying everywhere!
His hands moved like lightning. He snatched up a dozen fist-sized chunks of concrete and hurled them at Bai Longfei!
The concrete chunks whistled through the air with a sharp shriek. Witnessing this sudden turn of events, the audience erupted in an uproar!
"Bastard!"
"Damn that man from Wa Country! He’s so treacherous!"
"Animal! What kind of duel is this?"
’What is this? Using hidden weapons in a proper duel?’
’Those damned people from Wa Country really are all treacherous schemers!’
Faced with the furiously approaching concrete chunks, Bai Longfei’s expression remained unchanged. His body moved like shifting clouds, ethereal and unpredictable, as he dodged each incoming stone.
Watanabe Takeshi’s goal wasn’t to injure him with the stones; it was merely to buy time.
Using the opening created by Bai Longfei’s evasions, Watanabe Takeshi had already closed the distance.
When he was three meters away, he suddenly raised his right hand, and dozens of poisoned needles shot out from his sleeve!
The poisoned needles were as fine as ox hair; they reached Bai Longfei in a faint flash of cold light!
Bai Longfei’s pupils contracted. He had sensed the danger ahead of time and immediately executed a series of flips, tracing a graceful arc through the air to narrowly dodge the rain of poisoned needles!
A savage grin spread across Watanabe Takeshi’s face. In clumsy Chinese, he said, "Heh heh, in the words of you Huaxia people, all’s fair in war!"
The moment the words left his mouth, he was only two meters from Bai Longfei!
In that instant, Watanabe Takeshi unhesitatingly raised his right fist. A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of pale blue energy flickered over his knuckles!
Only Gong Yuanshan, sitting in the front row, and the other two advisors for the Martial Arts Demonstration had their pupils shrink abruptly!
"Sect Master Bai, watch out!"
Their shouts had just rung out when Watanabe Takeshi’s fist was already flying forward!
The wisp of pale blue energy erupted along with the Fist Force, sweeping rapidly toward Bai Longfei!
"Die!"
Seeing everything go according to plan, Watanabe Takeshi’s face twisted into an expression of utter, wild laughter!
’This one move is enough to decide life and death!’
His expression grave, Bai Longfei waved his palms rapidly, setting up layer after layer of palm-force barriers in front of him!
However, the pale blue energy pierced directly through the Huajin barriers.
Seeing this incredibly familiar scene, a flash of astonishment appeared in Bai Longfei’s eyes for the first time.
’The last time, Elder Lu’s Divine Will True Qi pierced through my protective Huajin just as easily.’
In the blink of an eye, the pale blue energy seeped into his body.
Bai Longfei’s mind went blank. In that moment, an image appeared in his mind’s eye.
Boundless, overwhelming blue waves poured down from the highest heavens, sweeping toward his tiny, insignificant self!
Just as the blue waves were about to swallow everything, the wind and clouds roiled high above, and a sky-blotting cloud-hand descended from the heavens!
The giant hand, formed from pure white clouds, carried the force of creation itself as it instantly slapped into the blue waves!
The boundless blue waves were pushed back by this indescribable cloud-hand!
Back on the arena stage, at the very moment Watanabe Takeshi’s left fist was about to strike Bai Longfei’s neck...
Some in the audience closed their eyes, unable to watch. Others stood up, leaning forward as if they wanted to rush the stage.
But it was too late. Almost everyone believed that Bai Longfei could no longer dodge this punch.
At this critical moment, the previously motionless Bai Longfei suddenly moved.
He calmly extended his right palm and clamped down hard on Watanabe Takeshi’s left fist.
Watanabe Takeshi’s fist, carrying terrifying power, stopped less than an inch from Bai Longfei’s neck, unable to advance another fraction.
Faced with this unbelievable scene, the savage grin on Watanabe Takeshi’s face froze instantly.
He stammered, his voice trembling, "Baka... Impossible... Impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible."
As Bai Longfei looked at Watanabe Takeshi, his eyes held a surprising hint of wistfulness.
"It’s just that I never would have thought that you could grasp this kind of power as a Mid-stage Grandmaster of Huajin."
He shook his head slightly. "Truly unprecedented."
Watanabe Takeshi’s eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Bai Longfei. He didn’t understand. ’My pale blue energy is enough to affect the consciousness of anyone at the Peak of Huajin, so why can this person still move?’
Bai Longfei saw his confusion, and the corners of his mouth began to lift. "A pity. You from Wa Country are too much of an anomaly. I cannot let you live."
Experiencing Watanabe’s power left Bai Longfei completely stunned—he was even more shocked than when he had first learned that Lu Yun was a Grandmaster of Divine Intent!
