Shi Renzhong, with his wealth of combat experience, instantaneously decided to abandon defense in favor of an active attack.
The Sky Fury Green Blood Spear thrust forward fiercely.
Originally possessing exceptional strength, enhanced further by "Heavenly Fury" and "Power of Giant," Shi Renzhong’s strength had surged manifold. The spear, imbued with Vajra Force, could easily pierce through a concrete wall over a ter thick with just a casual thrust.
However, even the strongest force is useless if it cannot hit its target.
The thrust of the long spear missed completely.
Ji Xinghuo’s figure disappeared, causing Shi Renzhong’s heart to sink in horror. "Instant Step!" He imdiately realized that Ji Xinghuo’s landing point was right beside him, only a step away.
Shi Renzhong decisively turned around, facing Ji Xinghuo, and ramd his head downward forcefully.
He aid to seize the initiative by using his head as a hamr.
"Good!"
The coaching team outside the shield slapped their thighs, applauding Shi Renzhong’s quick response and decision. Possessing a Golden Bell Cover, he could use his entire body as a weapon; his head was harder than steel. If this headbutt succeeded, he would have taken the upper hand, catching Ji Xinghuo off guard.
But just as they shouted, their expressions froze.
As if anticipating this, Ji Xinghuo had already lifted his right leg at the mont of the Instant Step, forcefully stomping with his left leg to propel his body upwards, his right knee heading right for Shi Renzhong’s head.
Clang!
A tallic clash sounded, as if tal were striking tal.
Ji Xinghuo’s right leg, already covered in Dragon Scales, collided in that instant, unleashing full force of the Electric Light Spiral Force, as streaks of lightning exploded forth.
Shi Renzhong was hit into mid-air, slamming against the top of the shield, then fell down.
Stars swirled before his eyes, his mind went blank, and he briefly lost consciousness.
By the ti he nearly hit the ground, he regained clarity only to realize he couldn’t find leverage, and the Sky Fury Green Blood Spear had slipped from his hand at so unknown point.
Without the Sky Fury Green Blood Spear, his strength greatly diminished.
With a bang.
Ji Xinghuo delivered another strike of Electric Light Spiral Force, hitting Shi Renzhong squarely in the chest, sending him flying sideways through the air, his mouth expelling a large mouthful of fresh blood, staining the Martial Arts Arena.
Shi Renzhong was incredibly resilient, not giving up even at this mont. As Ji Xinghuo approached quickly using Flash Step, Shi Renzhong activated the blue badge he wore, and suddenly, two identical Shi Renzhongs appeared by his side, one on the left and one on the right, blocking Ji Xinghuo’s advance.
Mirror Image Badge!
These created doubles, possessing half the strength of their original, were difficult to distinguish from the real one.
But in that mont, Shi Renzhong had no opportunity to confuse his own body with the doubles; he only hoped to use them to delay Ji Xinghuo, giving himself a chance to catch his breath.
Ji Xinghuo perford two consecutive Flash Steps, his figure swaying left and right.
Lei Chi unsheathed!
The exceedingly sharp Lightning sliced through the air. Those outside the shield, rely watching the lightning, felt their skin sting. Then, they saw both doubles decapitated simultaneously, turning into fragnts.
The doubles, having only half the strength of the original and also suffering from delayed response, couldn’t withstand even one strike under Ji Xinghuo’s sword.
But Shi Renzhong had already seized the opportunity to land firmly and charge at Ji Xinghuo.
In the shield with no place to escape, he had only to face the difficulty and create a chance for victory.
After Ji Xinghuo had killed the two doubles, Lei Chi was sheathed again on his back, and the spectators outside the arena understood his intention from this scene.
To defeat an opponent bare-handed carried more humiliation.
The two n quickly closed in on each other.
Both threw punches at the sa ti, their fists colliding.
Lightning and a golden glow burst forth, instantly distinguishing the superior from the inferior. Shi Renzhong’s fists, covered by the Golden Bell, vibrated intensely, shattered, and then he was sent flying backward.
anwhile, Ji Xinghuo simply swayed at his original spot, then quickly regained his Balance.
Electric currents surfaced on his skin, the Rotating Magnetic Field burst forth with full power, crackling loudly!
A long-distance Flash Step.
Ji Xinghuo reacted later but arrived faster, chasing Shi Renzhong and, like lightning, grabbed his ankle and slamd it hard onto the ground.
Bang!
Shi Renzhong was smashed onto the alloy floor, creating a loud noise and leaving a shallow human-shaped dent.
Bang bang bang bang...
Holding onto Shi Renzhong’s ankle, Ji Xinghuo continued to slam him left and right, each impact echoing in the Martial Arts Arena, hitting everyone in the club hard, making them unbearably uncomfortable as if slaps were landing on their faces, yet they could not utter a word.
Shi Renzhong’s external Vajra Force flickered unpredictably, brightening and then dimming, dimming and then brightening again.
After being slamd five tis, the Vajra Force completely collapsed.
Even the Steel Body could not withstand such ferocious blows; his body was a blur of blood and flesh, and streams of electricity crazily surged within his body, both numbing and painful, blurring his consciousness.
This was no longer a fight, but a massacre!
"Stop!"
Shi Daoyuan scread from outside the Shield.
His face was extrely ugly, "Please stop. You have already won." Then, regardless of whether Ji Xinghuo agreed, he ordered the club’s staff, "Turn off the Superconductive Shield!"
"Pathetic," Ji Xinghuo shook his head, let go of his hand, and threw Shi Renzhong into the pit he had created.
The Superconductive Shield was imdiately turned off.
The club’s people quickly crowded around, and several team mbers with healing abilities from the group of Mutants hectically treated Shi Renzhong.
Ji Xinghuo watched from the side.
In fact, he had been very asured in his attacks, not aiming to kill, as Shi Renzhong’s physique would recover quickly.
Sure enough, a few minutes later Shi Renzhong stood up, his face pale and extrely weak.
He took a long breath, his expression complex, looking at Ji Xinghuo with eyes full of unwillingness, lingering fear, and dread. No one understood that despair better than him; facing Ji Xinghuo, he stood no chance, the gap in their strength was too great.
This feeling was even more intense than when he fought Zhao Manying.
Suddenly, Shi Renzhong understood why Zhao Manying was interested in Ji Xinghuo, for they were of the sa kind.
"I lost,"
Shi Renzhong gave a wry smile, "Outclassed, I willingly admit defeat. Brother Ji’s strength has given a profound lesson I will never forget in this lifeti."
Ji Xinghuo actually gained so respect for him, even if it was feigned, but if he kept it up, that too was a skill.
He nodded, "You’re too gracious."
Having said that, he went to pick up the Sky Fury Green Blood Spear, held it, and turned to walk towards the exit of the Martial Arts Arena.
The club mbers watched Ji Xinghuo take away the long spear, each with a desire to speak but halting, Shi Renzhong only then rembering the pre-fight wager and regretting it deeply. His gaze flickered, but ultimately he could not swallow his pride to stop him.
"Hold on."
Finally, soone spoke up, it was Shi Daoyuan.
Ji Xinghuo stopped, looking towards this "Crown Prince" of Quartz Group, asking, "What does President Shi suggest?"
"The Sky Fury Green Blood Spear was a birthday gift from father to Ren Zhong, it holds great significance and shouldn’t fall into the hands of others," Shi Daoyuan said sternly, "Of course, the Shi family never breaks a promise. Since Ren Zhong has lost, the long spear now belongs to you."
He paused, then continued, "However, I hope you can return the Sky Fury Green Blood Spear to us in a different manner, that way I can also explain to father, what do you think?"
ntioning a Heavenly King, who was also everyone’s boss, everyone present grew serious.
"In what way?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
Shi Daoyuan gave a sinister smile and replied, "Quite simple, sell it to ."
