“Jiang Zhan’s son is dead for sure!”
“Yes, although we don’t know how Jiang Wuming managed to suppress and even injure the number one martial arts master, Taige, as an eight-star martial artist, now that Taige has broken through to the God of War realm, Jiang Wuming is bound to die!”
“That’s right, the God of War realm is a veritable chasm on the martial path! As far as I know, no one in history has ever been able to defeat a God of War while being a martial arts master, let alone Jiang Wuming who is only an eight-star martial artist!”
…
After Taige spoke, the audience on the scene finally snapped out of their shock and began to discuss loudly.
With Taige’s breakthrough to the God of War realm, the audience returned to their previous views – no matter how astonishing Jiang Wuming’s performance had been before, there would be no more suspense in this life-or-death battle!
Hearing the audience’s discussions, Taige’s expression improved slightly. He did not rush to attack, but instead looked at Jiang Wuming with a playful gaze.
It felt as if Jiang Wuming were Sun Wukong, and he were the Buddha, no matter how Jiang Wuming struggled, he could not escape from the palm of his hand!
“Dad, what should we do?”
At the same time, in the spectator stands, Chu Feng’s face was no longer excited, only anxious.
“Uncle Chu, find a way to stop this fight, otherwise Teacher Wuming will die!”
Huangfu Weixia was also flustered.
As one of the most outstanding geniuses in the East Sea Martial Arts Academy, she was also a martial arts master and deeply understood the gap between a martial arts master and a one-star God of War.
They were martial artists of two different tiers, not to be compared at all!
Chu Wansong was also very anxious and wished to intervene, but according to the Martial Department’s regulations, no one was allowed to interfere in a life-or-death battle!
He was willing but powerless!
However, after hearing Chu Feng and Huangfu Weixia, Chu Wansong gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and said to Huang Xiong not far away, “Huang Xiong, as long as you stop the match now, our Qing Zi Tou will immediately concede and give up control of Qing Hong!”
“Heh… Wansong, victory and defeat are not conceded, and control is not given away. Well, this life-or-death battle will decide all of this!”
Huang Xiong sneered.
At this point, Taige’s victory in the life-or-death battle was a foregone conclusion, so how could he agree to stop the match?
“Boss Huang, in addition to giving up control of Qing Hong, I will also give you an extra one billion!” Chu Wansong said with a grim expression.
“One billion? Heh… are you humiliating Jiang Zhan? Is his son’s life only worth one billion?!”
Huang Xiong said with a mocking smile.
To him, killing Jiang Wuming was not only to avenge the past ‘arrow of hatred’ but also a promise to Gu Tianlong and a gift to Satōno, a member of the Sankōkai in the Kingdom of Rén, which was killing three birds with one stone. How could he possibly agree to Chu Wansong’s proposal?
“You think you’ve won just because you broke through to the God of War realm?”
This time, before Chu Wansong could say anything else, Jiang Wuming’s voice echoed from the training ground.
Hmm?
Upon hearing Jiang Wuming’s words in surprise, everyone present was stunned and looked at Jiang Wuming with confused faces: What did he mean? Could it be that he thought he could still defeat Taige?
The next moment.
The answer was revealed.
Just like Taige earlier, Jiang Wuming’s aura suddenly surged, and his presence instantly changed from an eight-star martial artist to a nine-star martial artist!
“God, Jiang Zhan’s son has also broken through!”
“With the strength of an eight-star martial artist, he suppressed and even injured Taige. Now that he has broken through to the nine-star martial artist realm, does he have the strength to fight Taige, who has broken through to the God of War realm?”
“It’s useless, the gap between a God of War and a martial arts master is far greater than you imagine, they are not even in the same league!”
…
Sensing the change in Jiang Wuming’s aura, everyone present was first stunned, and then a martial artist in the stands exclaimed.
The one-star God of War who had spoken earlier shook his head, denying Jiang Wuming’s possibility of a comeback.
“Heh… Wansong, the outside world has always speculated that that ant has broken through to the nine-star martial artist realm. As it turns out, he held on until now to break through. You guys have hidden it quite well.”
While those spectators were discussing, Huang Xiong sneered at Chu Wansong again, “However, do you think it’s still meaningful for that ant to break through now?”
Meaningless!
Whether it was Chu Wansong, Chu Feng, or Huangfu Weixia, the same answer flashed through their minds simultaneously, and they were all anxious.
At this moment, they wished they could do something for Jiang Wuming, but they could do nothing, filled with helplessness and despair!
In their despair, they subconsciously looked at Jiang Wuming on the training ground.
Unlike them, Jiang Wuming stood proudly on the training ground, his black robe billowing, his expression as calm as ever.
“Heh… you insidious bastard, I said I almost capsized in the gutter, so you could break through to the nine-star martial artist at any time!”
Then, Taige also spoke. He grandly found a perfect excuse for being suppressed and injured earlier, and then sneered,
“If you had broken through to the nine-star martial artist realm at the start of the life-or-death battle and taken advantage of my underestimation, you might have had a chance to kill me.
Now that I have broken through to the God of War realm, everything you do is futile, and you will have no chance…”
“I’m here to beat up Gods of War!”
Jiang Wuming said expressionlessly, directly interrupting Taige’s words.
Although Jiang Wuming’s words were strong and domineering, all the spectators present, including Chu Wansong and Huang Xiong, believed that Jiang Wuming was bluffing!
If even outsiders thought so, how could Taige himself not?
“Heh… heh heh… heh heh heh…”
Taige burst into laughter on the spot, his laughter filled with mockery.
Swish!
After laughing, Taige stopped talking nonsense. With a shift of his feet, his figure flashed like lightning, and in an instant, he lunged in front of Jiang Wuming.
At this moment, his speed was much faster than before!
In addition, his physical functions had greatly improved, and his internal energy had transformed into true qi, making the power of his attacks incomparable to what it was before!
“Die!!”
As the figure appeared, Taige let out a fierce roar. He no longer used his leg techniques as he had before, but instead swung his right arm and slapped towards Jiang Wuming’s head.
Earlier, he had been struck by Jiang Wuming’s palm, his arm bone fractured, and he was sent flying out, which was a disgrace in his life!
Now, he wanted to smash Jiang Wuming’s head with one slap to wash away the humiliation!
This slap, though seemingly casual, was executed with Baguazhang techniques. His palm was wrapped in true qi, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
Boom!
As Taige’s palm struck out, the air exploded, and torrents of air surged, like a small tornado, completely enveloping Jiang Wuming.
In the eye of the storm, Jiang Wuming did not dodge or evade. Instead, he directly raised his left arm to protect the side of his left face.
This scene was like a replay of earlier, but with the roles reversed, Jiang Wuming shifted from offense to defense.
Sensing Jiang Wuming’s action, a cruel smile appeared on Taige’s face. It was as if he could already see Jiang Wuming’s arm breaking, his head shattering, and him dying tragically on the spot!
And Huang Xiong and Taishan below the stage both wore expressions of mockery – a martial arts master directly blocking an attack from a one-star God of War was like digging his own grave!
It was over!
Chu Wansong also knew this, and the last shred of hope in his heart was completely extinguished. If Jiang Wuming did not engage Taige head-on, and utilized his mental strength and life-or-death combat experience, there was still a sliver of hope to kill Taige!
Is it over?
Bang!
The next moment.
A muffled thud echoed throughout the entire training ground.
Taige’s palm fiercely struck Jiang Wuming’s left arm!
…
