167: The King of Cool - Li Qing!
Speed, reached to the absolute limit!
The angle, even more incredibly tricky!
Those two short blades, shimmering with an eerie green light, traced two bizarre arcs in mid-air, sealing off all of Li Qing's paths of retreat!
"What fast movement! What toxic methods!"
"That's a killing move! He used a killing move right from the start!"
"This Gui Ying is trying to kill him in one hit!"
On the Viewing Platform, many big figures with sharp eyes narrowed their pupils.
They could see that although this Gui Ying was only at the Initial Stage of Meridian Connecting Realm, the power of this strike was already enough to threaten a Middle Stage Meridian Opening Realm expert!
However...
Facing this lethal sneak attack, Li Qing didn't even bother to turn his head.
He just stood there quietly, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
Just an instant before those two poison-coated short blades were about to pierce his back...
He moved.
It was just like before, a simple movement.
He merely threw out a punch, casually, toward the back.
Thump—!
A dull sound boomed out.
Time stood still once again.
Gui Ying's forward-charging figure suddenly stiffened.
The ferocity and greed on his face froze instantly.
Following that...
Under everyone's horrified gaze...
His entire body, starting from the chest area, caved inward completely!
That black night-suit exploded!
Countless fragments of flesh, bone, and internal organs shot out in all directions like fireworks!
One punch!
Just one single punch!
A Genius assassin at the Initial Stage of Meridian Connecting Realm was just like that, punched right through from the front!
The corpse, like a puddle of mud, fell limply from the air onto the arena stage, twitched twice, and then there was no more sound.
Instakill!
Another instakill!
Moreover, it was an instakill even more bloody, more violent, and more unreasonable than the one against Qin Shuang!
"..."
The entire Central Martial Arena fell into a deathly silence once more.
The hundreds of thousands of spectators were all dumbfounded, as if they had been collectively hit by a petrification spell.
Such a bloody scene left them utterly shocked.
Although blades and swords have no eyes in a competition...
And crippling injuries or death were normal...
But isn't this a bit too bloody?!
Is this, is this a fucking competition?
This is clearly a massacre!
Gulp.
In the contestant preparation area, a Prodigy swallowed hard, his face as white as paper.
Looking at the corpse on the stage that no longer looked human, he felt his stomach churning.
Too ruthless!
This Li Qing is simply too ruthless!
He kills when he says he will, without the slightest hesitation!
That's a Martial Artist of the Meridian Opening Realm! Not some common cabbage on the roadside!
Just like that, with one punch, he's gone?
"Next."
An indifferent voice came from the arena stage, pulling everyone back from their shock to reality.
Li Qing slowly withdrew his fist, not even bothering to spare another glance at the corpse on the ground.
He just calmly scanned the Prodigies below the stage who were already scared witless.
That gaze was like looking at a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"..."
The preparation area was deathly silent.
Those Prodigies who had been clamoring to teach Li Qing a lesson earlier were now all bowing their heads, as quiet as cicadas in winter, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Go up?
Go up my ass!
Didn't they see that unlucky guy's end just now?
Not even a whole bone was left!
They wanted to make a name for themselves, but they didn't want to lose their lives!
"Useless!"
Just as the scene fell into an awkward stalemate again, an angry shout rang out from the preparation area.
"A mere Initial Stage of Meridian Connecting Realm dares to go up and make a fool of himself!"
"Since no one dares to go, then we two brothers will come and meet you, Marquis Wuan!"
The moment the words fell, two figures leapt out from the crowd simultaneously, one from the left and one from the right, landing on the massive arena stage.
One of them was tall and held a Mountain-Splitting Greataxe, his aura violent.
The other was thin and small, holding a pair of Judge's Pens, his gaze cold.
Both were at the Middle Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, and their auras were connected, clearly having Cultivated some kind of combined attack technique.
"Black Wind Twin Fiends?"
"It's actually them! It's said that when these two join forces, they can even contend with a Late Stage of Meridian Connecting Realm expert!"
"Now, there's a good show to watch!"
Seeing these two take the stage, the audience below felt a spark of hope again.
"I am Xiong Da!"
"I am Xiong Er!"
"Marquis Wuan, please advise us!"
Li Qing was stunned for a moment in his heart.
These names?
So familiar!!
The two announced their names and, without any delay, launched their attack instantly!
"Black Wind Whirlwind Slash!"
Xiong Da roared, the Mountain-Splitting Greataxe in his hand dancing into a black whirlwind of death, cleaving down toward Li Qing's head!
"Netherworld Life-Taking Piercer!"
Xiong Er's figure was like a ghost, circling behind Li Qing, the Judge's Pens in his hands turning into two venomous snakes, piercing straight for the back of Li Qing's heart and his temples!
One hard and one soft, one in front and one behind, a coordinated strike!
This set of combined attacks was enough to make any Late Stage of Meridian Connecting Realm expert flustered and struggle to cope!
However...
Li Qing still stood in place, not even bothering to move.
He just slowly raised his hands.
His left hand met the Mountain-Splitting Greataxe.
His right hand grabbed toward those two Judge's Pens.
"Courting death!"
Seeing this, the Black Wind Twin Fiends were both delighted.
He actually wanted to use his bare palms to intercept their weapons?
Arrogant!
Simply arrogant to the extreme!
The next second.
Clang!
Clang!
Two crisp sounds of metal clashing rang out simultaneously!
And then...
Under everyone's gaze, which was as if they had seen a ghost...
Li Qing's left hand, with fingers pressed together, casually caught that heavy Mountain-Splitting Greataxe!
His right hand, with his index and middle fingers crossed, caught those two lightning-fast Judge's Pens with absolute precision!
"..."
The world went quiet.
The joy on the faces of the Black Wind Twin Fiends froze instantly.
They used all their strength, trying to pull their weapons back, only to find that the weapons were like they had grown into the opponent's hands, not budging an inch!
"This, this is impossible!"
The two of them cried out in disbelief at the same time.
"Noisy."
Li Qing's brow furrowed slightly.
His fingers gripping the weapons exerted a little force.
Crack!
Crack!
Two crisp sounds of shattering rang out simultaneously.
That Mountain-Splitting Greataxe forged from Profound Iron, and that pair of Judge's Pens cast from Cold Iron, were actually crushed just like that by his two fingers!
Puff!
Puff!
With their weapons destroyed and their minds connected to them, the Black Wind Twin Fiends both spat out blood, their faces pale.
They looked at Li Qing with eyes full of boundless terror.
Is this a fucking human?
Crushing weapons with bare hands?
What kind of monster is this!
Li Qing didn't give them any more time to be shocked.
He withdrew his hands and, striking left and right, kicked each of them in the chest.
Bang!
Bang!
