Luo Anqing was very quickly carried away. Just seeing the expression of the Luo family’s first elder, one could guess what he was thinking. If possible, he also did not wish for Luo Anqing to ingest the Battle Element Pill.
However, he clung onto the hope that they would be lucky, thinking that the side effects of taking the pill would perhaps just leave Luo Anqing weak and without strength for a few days. He never thought that worst possible outcome would actually occur in the end.
The town head stood up leisurely and slowly said, “The two of them left the fighting ring at the same time, so it’ll be considered a draw.”
Nobody disagreed with the result of this match. The Luo family’s current outcome was the result of their own choices. Furthermore, it had indeed been an unfair fight. Without needing to mention the fact that the Luo family’s representative had taken the Battle Element Pill, they had even brought out their family’s heirloom weapon.
Considering the circumstances, the town head’s current decision was already considered not bad.
Ling Yichen went to the back to receive treatment and bandaging. The next match was Ling Chuxi against the Luo family’s Luo Hongjie.
When they stood atop the fighting ring, there was a stark contrast between the two of them. Ling Chuxi was petite and slender, whereas Luo Hongjie was tall and buff. His weapon was also frightening—two huge, sharp axes!
Luo Hongjie snorted as he waved the two axes in his hands, looking strong and majestic. “Ling Chuxi, your name has been quite popular lately. However, it will end today.”
“Let me tell you something. It’s a very serious matter,” said Ling Chuxi, tilting her head slightly with a serious expression on her face.
“Huh? What matter?” asked a stunned Luo Hongjie, almost involuntarily.
Ling Chuxi looked solemn. “Once upon a time, there was a fatty. He spoke a lot.”
“Then?” Luo Hongjie could not understand what Ling Chuxi’s words meant.
She suddenly scoffed as she drew her sword with a ‘shing’! “Then, he died. And ended up becoming a dead fatty.”
“Pfff…” Lan Xinyu could not hold back her laughter when she heard this. This joke was really lame. Such a black-bellied Ling Chuxi really left people feeling tickled.
Luo Hongjie was momentarily stunned into a daze before regaining his senses and understanding that Ling Chuxi was mocking him.
With a flused face, he spoke through gritted teeth, “I will cut you into slices!”
What he hated most was people saying that he was all brawn and no brains. Ling Chuxi’s teasing earlier on and his slow response, added on with the laughter of the people watching, made him feel even more that others were mocking him for being exactly that. (Although it was true.)
Ling Chuxi continued to smile without speaking and just tightly gripped the Luo Chen Sword in her hands. She had to win this battle! The first match had ended in a draw. Then, her battle definitely needed to be won!
When the town head announced that the match had begun, Luo Hongjie rushed toward Ling Chuxi, unable to wait any longer, waving his axes and roaring aloud.
Ling Chuxi had an awkward expression on her face. Although Luo Hongjie’s body was huge, but his movements were not the least bit clumsy. On the contrary, his actions were very agile, and each move, each stance, was full of explosive energy!
With a crisp ‘clang’, Ling Chuxi’s sword and Luo Hongjie’s axe clashed. A strong wave of energy surged forward and the Luo Chen Sword in Ling Chuxi’s hand was almost flung out of her grasp.
Such horrifying strength! This was not strength that was released through Battle Qi, but rather brute strength that came from Luo Hongjie himself. Ling Chuxi immediately retreated and did a backflip mid-air, moving backwards to dodge Luo Hongjie’s aggressive attack.
His actions were agile, but! Ling Chuxi’s movements were even more so!
Furthermore, Ling Chuxi very quickly realized Luo Hongjie’s weakness… a fatal weakness!
Seeing that Ling Chuxi was consistently forced to retreat from his attacks, Luo Hongjie secretly felt happy. He roared madly while waving his battle axes, rushing over toward her even more fiercely.
He shouted loudly as he rushed towards her, “Ling Chuxi, weren’t you very proud of yourself? Didn’t you also defeat the peerless genius Lan Xinyu? Turns out you’re just so-so! Just die!”
