Chapter 243 A Fiercer Fight
Bald Head, as a man, would not let Liu Yan, a woman take advantage, and didnât back off.
âNo, youâll go next. Iâll go this time.â
âYouâŚ!â Liu Yan frowned.
âAlright, stop it. You have lots of opportunities. This time, Bald Head will go.â Qin Hao interrupted with unchallengeable authority.
Liu Yan shut up and backed off. The Bald Head walked forward excitedly, wanting success like Nie Jingshan just now.
âBald Head, donât be happy about it.â Qin Hao said coldly, âThat one is a learned practitioner at the beginning period of the Perfection Stage. Do you know what that means? His skills are countless times higher than Martial Cultivators in the Inner Stage. So you can at most fight someone in the middle period, or the later period of the Inner Stage if you do really well. Your battle will be much fiercer and more difficult than Nie Jingshan.â
âRemember, just like Nie Jingshan, your advantages are your martial skills and your weapons. You will only be able to win if you make full use of these advantages. Now go.â
Bald Head saluted him with respect, âYes, Instructor.â And he went from the audience seat to the arena.
After he left, Li Zhanwu seemed to have recalled something, and said, âQin Hao, what did you just say? Bald Head, or Ou Ba, could only fight someone in the middle or late period of Inner Stage? Isnât him a Perfection Stage master? How can that beâŚâ
âWhen did I say heâs a Perfection Stage master?â Qin Hao snorted and answered.
âHuh?â Li Zhanwu froze and was outraged, âDamn you, didnât you say the day before yesterday at your home that both Ou Ba and Liu Yan were in the Perfection Stage?â
âWhat? Have I said that? It was you who thought I said that. But I have proof. Ying, tell him, did I say Bald Head and Liu Yan are Perfection Stage masters?â Qin Hao turned and looked at Shi Bingying.
Shi Bingying of course nodded and said, âNo.â
âHuhâŚ?â Li Zhanwu rubbed his head. After recalling, he did realize that Qin Hao did not say that directly. But his attitude was suggesting the very same thing. It was obviously a silent acknowledgement.
âYou, youâŚyou did great. You even lied to me. I will not forget this and weâll handle it later.â
Li Zhanwu was outraged. If he knew Bald Headâs and othersâ real level, that they were not Perfection Stage masters, he wouldnât have taken this challenge. Even if people called him weak, or a coward, he would have protected his soldiers and would not mind at all.
But now it was too late. It was impossible to give up. It was all Qin Haoâs fault.
âOld Li, now weâve come and letâs see how it goes.â
After hearing Qin Haoâs words, Li Zhanwu was more than angry. âThatâs all theyâve got, and theyâll now fight with Perfection Stage masters, how can I see how it goes at ease? You knew their levels and insisted that they should come, and even fooled me. Youâre crazy! Youâre playing with their lives.â
After hearing this, Qin Haoâs face darkened and he said, âLi Zhanwu, if you still have the spirit of a soldier, then shut up!â After saying this, others around them could feel Qin Haoâs authority. They were cold and quivering. Li Zhanwu who was beside him was especially so. He was not a Martial Cultivator, and felt breathless in the atmosphere.
âListen, this battle of life and death is something they must experience. They must go through it. Iâm not playing with their lives; Iâm not that bored. If they want to be real Martial Cultivators, they must go through blood and fire, and Iâve told you that. I donât want to repeat any more. After this, they still have hope to become strong, otherwise, they would become nobody. Theyâre my students and I donât want that to happen! â
Although Qin Hao said those words in a low voice, and only people around him could hear it, but he was using great efforts.
âAnd Iâve told you that the strongest people might not be people in the highest stage. Nie Jingshan is proof. He was in the peak of Beginning Stage and was fighting someone in the peak of Inner Stage. But he won and it was a great victory.â
Li Zhanwu was surprised again, âJingshan was only a Martial Cultivator in the Beginning Stage?â
âWhat do you think?â Qin Hao snorted and asked.
âIâŚ?â Li Zhanwu was speechless.
âDonât talk too much. Now itâs all on Bald Head. Their lives are in their own hands.â Qin Hao stopped talking and stared at the arena. He was also worried, but didnât show it on his face.
Bald Headâs battle would be different from Nie Jingshan. Nie Jingshan had an advantage because his opponents didnât take him seriously. But now others knew the level of the Sky Group, and would more or less take them seriously.
So, Bald Head could not use this trick anymore.
Also, Bald Head was fighting against a Perfection Stage master. Although he was a Second Stage Martial Cultivator, and was more skilled than Nie Jingshan, the Perfection Stage was higher than the Inner Stage. And there was a great difference between the two. The gap between the Perfection Stage and the Inner Stage was much bigger than that between the Inner Stage and the Beginning Stage.
So it was a dangerous battle.
On the arena, Xiang Yun from the Dragon Group was staring at Bald Head. In the early period of the Inner Stage?
If it were before, and someone like this one stood in front of him, he would not even look at him. As a Perfection Stage master, he could kill several of such men with a flip of his hand.
But he was told not to make the mistake of Fat Leopard, and he also just saw Nie Jingshanâs scary strength, so he did not dare to look down on his opponent. He showed his weapon, a revolving knife.
But when he saw the short axe even with scars in Bald Headâs hand, he couldnât help but look down on him. He was using this as a weapon?
But that was his problem of not recognizing the weapon. Long Taibai down there had a completely different reaction. As a master in the Spirit Stage, he looked at the axe and his eyelid twitched, and he hated them even more.
Another rare weapon. Nie Jingshanâs Devil Blade already made him think the Dragon Group was treated like a stepson. However, Bald Headâs weapon was also such a great one, and he now felt that the Dragon Group was a step-step son.
âSay your name. I donât kill people whose names I donât know.â
On the arena, Xiang Yun looked at him with a fierce expression and said coldly.
Bald Head also said coldly, âMy real name is Ou Ba, but people call me Bald Head.â
âOu Ba, what a bad name. I hope youâre not as bad as your name.â Xiang Yun smeared.
âYouâll know soon.â Bald Head waved his axe and the cold light flashed.
âThen letâs do it.â Xiang Yun first moved and his revolving knife dashed at Bald Head like a white light.
Weapons were clattering in the arena. People were staring at them with their hearts beating crazily. They were looking at the fight without blinking.
It was not as fierce as the previous one, but when one person attacked and the other one would respond. The revolving knife and the axe were clashing non-stop, which made it even more intriguing.
Li Zhanwu was worried down there. He didnât know Bald Headâs real level before. Now that he knew, he was worried that he would be defeated. He might die after all.
But Qin Hao was quiet and relaxed. He was watching the battle, and seemed to have understood something.
Sometimes, watching other Martial Cultivatorsâ fighting could also bring inspiration to a Martial Cultivator.
With the fight, the two had attacked each other for more than a dozen times, and Bald Head, which was in a much lower Stage, was doing just as well as his opponent. After they separated, Xiang Yun was the one that was shocked, and he could not look down on the axe anymore, because now his revolving knife had become a saw, but the axe he just laughed at was all the same.
That damn thing was a high-level weapon. When Martial Cultivators saw good weapons, they would be jealous, and Xiang Yun was no different.
If he had the weapon, he could fight someone at a higher level too. So he shouted inside, âItâs mine.â
The next second, with a whistle, he and his revolving knife became one, and they became a moving light. They moved past Bald Head, and were too fast to be seen. That was the scary speed of Perfection Stage masters.
Bald Head felt danger on his left and chopped with his axe.
There was a 'shhhâ sound.
His axe only touched a shadow. The clothes on his left waist were torn, and some blood was shed into the air with the knife cutting his skin.
The audience shouted with surprise. Li Zhanwuâs fist tightened and he almost stood up. He was more worried and anxious.
âQin Hao, Ou Ba isâŚâ Li Zhanwu turned to look at Qin Hao.
But Qin Haoâs relaxed expression did not change at all, and he ignored Li Zhanwuâs words.
âDad, donât be anxious, letâs keep watching.â Li Tielan saw his reaction and pressed on his shoulder to comfort him.
Li Zhanwu nodded and sat back again.
He swore, if something really happened to Bald Head, he would kill Qin Hao afterward.
Xiang Yun succeeded with his attack and laughed at Bald Head, âYouâre doing well, but your level is too low. Killing you is like killing a chicken to me.â
âIs that so?â Bald Head gritted and did not even look at his wounds and stared back at him, âBut Iâm not a chicken. If you want to kill me, just try with your knife.â
âHa, I was not fast enough. Let me show you how to be âfastâ.â
And the audience was shocked. It was fast enough, and even that was not his real level?
The next second, their eyes certainly narrowed, and in the blink of an eye, Xiang Yun had disappeared. When they saw him, he was standing behind Bald Head with a wicked smile.
âHeâs behind you. Be careful!â Li Zhanwu couldnât help it but shout. The moment he did that, the shiny knife again targeted at Bald Headâs back, and some more blood was shed. Bald Head turned and attacked, but didnât land the blow, not even on the shadow.
Itâs fast, too fast, too fast to believe.
It was a speedy Martial Cultivator.
âInstructor, Bald Head was a little strange.â Behind him, Liu Yan stepped forward and said to Qin Hao quietly.
As far as she knew, Bald Head was not that slow. Although Xiang Yun was fast, it wasnât like he couldnât defend himself. He just let Xiang Yun land two blows. What was he doing?
Qin Hao nodded, and said, âI know.â And he stopped talking and continued to watch calmly. Looking at Bald Head, he was also curious: what was he going to do?
