The vast training ground fell into absolute silence for a moment.
All eyes, from the teachers and students of the East Sea Martial Arts Academy to those of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy and the prominent figures of the Ninja Country's martial arts world, turned towards Sato Tarou.
"How is this possible?"
The students of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, in particular, had their eyes wide open in disbelief.
They couldn't fathom how Sato Tarou, the foremost martial arts prodigy of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy, who had held a complete advantage, could be injured by Huangfu Weixia in an instant!
It wasn't just them; even the teachers from the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy and the leading figures of the Ninja Country's martial arts world were somewhat stunned.
While they had all observed that Sato Tarou had gained momentum but failed to capitalize on it and was becoming increasingly agitated, they had not anticipated such a swift reversal of fortune.
"Pfft—"
As if to respond to the disbelief of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy's students and teachers, and the esteemed martial artists of the Ninja Country, Sato Tarou fell like a kite with a broken string, plummeting in a parabolic arc and spitting out a mist of blood.
With that single strike, Huangfu Weixia had seized the opportunity when Sato Tarou's internal energy circulation had paused and his defense was weakest. She had unleashed a killing move from the "True Dragon Treasure Art," not only breaking Sato Tarou's right hand and ribs but also inflicting internal injuries upon him.
"Well fought!"
"Senior Sister Huangfu Weixia is amazing!"
Seeing Sato Tarou spit blood, the students of the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, including Xia Dong, snapped out of their shock. Realizing that the outcome of the match was decided, they began to shout with excitement.
Xiao Han's eyes were red, his voice trembling.
Yesterday, due to his impulsive actions, he had fallen prey to Sato Tarou's scheme, making him unable to participate in the martial arts sparring session today and causing the East Sea Martial Arts Academy to lose the second match.
Under such circumstances, if Huangfu Weixia lost the third match, the East Sea Martial Arts Academy would lose the martial arts sparring session, and he would become a sinner in the eyes of the East Sea Martial Arts Academy and the martial arts community of Long Country!
"Hoo..."
As Xiao Han, Xia Dong, and others shouted excitedly, teachers from the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, such as Xia Xueqin and Yan Xin, also breathed a sigh of relief.
If even Xia Dong and Xiao Han could see that Sato Tarou's injuries were severe, how could they not?
Initially, they had all recognized Sato Tarou's cunning and treacherous nature and had worried that Huangfu Weixia might not be able to win. Now that victory was assured, they felt completely at ease.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the air!
On the training ground, Huangfu Weixia discarded Sato Tarou's blood-stained right hand, grabbed the falling samurai sword, and threw it with a natural motion.
Instantly, the samurai sword transformed into a streak of white light, shooting rapidly towards Sato Tarou!
Although the overall situation was decided, this martial arts sparring session was not yet over. Huangfu Weixia remained vigilant and had no intention of letting Sato Tarou off the hook!
This was because Sato Tarou had not only repeatedly vowed to make her kneel like a bitch and beg for forgiveness but had also schemed to injure Xiao Han, attempting to win the martial arts sparring session through despicable means!
Furthermore, Sato Tarou had also plotted to induce Jiang Wuming and Akita Hideko into a fight to the death, intending to kill Jiang Wuming right here!
All of this fueled Huangfu Weixia's deep-seated hatred for Sato Tarou, and she naturally showed no mercy.
Danger!
As Huangfu Weixia attacked again, the teachers of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy and the prominent figures of the Ninja Country's martial arts world felt their hearts tighten.
But at this moment, no one spoke.
This included the two-star War God from the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy on the field.
Furthermore, he did not move, showing no intention of intervening to help Sato Tarou.
This was because, before the martial arts sparring session began in the afternoon, Sato Tarou had instructed him not to intervene, regardless of what happened on the field.
Although he didn't know why Sato Tarou had said this, Sato Tarou's prominent status and his crucial role in the plan to restore the reputation of the Ninja Country's martial arts world meant that he could only follow Sato Tarou's instructions, while secretly hoping that Sato Tarou could create a miracle and turn the tables!
The sharp samurai sword, within the span of a single breath, flew to Sato Tarou's front.
At this moment...
Sato Tarou, covered in blood, suddenly twisted his body, tumbling in mid-air and narrowly dodging the samurai sword.
Swish!
Seeing the samurai sword miss its target, Huangfu Weixia's figure flashed, and she lunged directly at Sato Tarou.
She intended to attack Sato Tarou again as he landed!
Upon witnessing this, the students of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy in the stands no longer displayed their previous arrogance, their faces now filled with sheer terror.
They worried that Sato Tarou would not be able to withstand Huangfu Weixia's subsequent attacks and would lose this martial arts sparring session.
If that were to happen, the East Sea Martial Arts Academy would have won two out of three matches, securing victory in the martial arts sparring session of this martial arts exchange event, defending the honor of the martial arts community of Long Country, and simultaneously adding insult to injury for the Ninja Country's martial arts world!
The teachers of the Kyoto Martial Arts Academy and the esteemed martial artists of the Ninja Country's martial arts world also harbored this concern.
At this moment, their eyes were fixed intently on Sato Tarou!
Under the scorching sun, Sato Tarou's complexion was somewhat pale, and his eyes were filled with terror and unwillingness, as if he had already realized he was about to lose!
Time seemed to slow down.
Everyone stared intently at the center of the training ground, awaiting the moment Huangfu Weixia and Sato Tarou would meet again!
"Careful!"
However, just as Huangfu Weixia was about to pounce on Sato Tarou, a hurried voice suddenly rang out.
The voice belonged to Jiang Wuming!
He sensed something was amiss with Sato Tarou and had spoken out to warn Huangfu Weixia.
However—
It was too late!
The moment Jiang Wuming spoke, Sato Tarou's expression of terror vanished, replaced by a look of ferocity!
When Huangfu Weixia was only three meters away from him, he suddenly flicked his left wrist!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Accompanied by three sharp whistling sounds, three shuriken flew out, arranged in a triangular formation, and shot rapidly towards Huangfu Weixia!
Hidden weapons!
At this moment, Sato Tarou had resorted to hidden weapons!
This was completely beyond everyone's expectations!
After all, this was a martial arts sparring session, not a fight to the death, and according to normal logic, hidden weapons were not allowed!
Danger!
Sensing Sato Tarou's action, all the teachers of the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, including Xia Xueqin, felt a surge of danger, their hearts instantly leaping into their throats.
Even Jiang Wuming held his breath nervously!
At this moment, they desperately wanted to intervene and help Huangfu Weixia block the three shuriken, but they were powerless—Huangfu Weixia and Sato Tarou were too close, and Sato Tarou's sudden attack had caught everyone completely off guard!
Swish!
On the training ground, Huangfu Weixia's expression instantly changed drastically.
Although she had sensed the danger the moment Jiang Wuming spoke, due to her proximity to Sato Tarou, she had no time to react to the three whistling shuriken. She could only rely on her combat instincts and dodge to the side.
"Pfft—"
Huangfu Weixia's combat instincts were exceptionally strong, allowing her to execute a near-perfect dodge. However, she was still hit on her left arm by one of the shuriken, blood splattering everywhere!
Thump!
At the same time, Sato Tarou landed on the ground, a sinister grin spreading across his pale face!
He couldn't harm Huangfu Weixia in the slightest with his true strength, but he had despicably injured her with hidden weapons! He felt no shame in this outcome, but rather pride!
