Chapter 1374: Chapter 1372: Defeating Two Opponents in a Row!
“Huaxia people, let
be your first opponent!”
On the stage, Sato Hikaru stared coldly at Hao Jian, a faint anger rising in his eyes. As Yamamoto Ichiro’s opponent and friend, how could he allow soone who tarnished Yamamoto Ichiro’s reputation to roam free?
Moreover, everyone’s talking about his relationship with Yamamoto Ichiro. If he doesn’t help Yamamoto Ichiro recover the situation now, he’ll also be affected. With the title of the Four Great Masters, his reputation is doubly at risk.
“It doesn’t matter who cos first among you.”
Hao Jian waved his hand casually, standing indifferently on the stage with his hands in his pockets. He glanced at Sato Hikaru and sneered, “Attack as you please. If you can move
a step, I’ll consider myself defeated. Fair enough?”
“Chairman Hao is crazy?!”
As soon as Hao Jian spoke, Kuo Tianzheng’s face changed drastically below, and he couldn’t help but call out.
“Shut up! Just watch quietly!” Shu Ya frowned and snorted coldly at Kuo Tianzheng. “Where’s your composure gone? Have you forgotten Hao Jian’s strength?!”
“I…” With Shu Ya’s reprimand, Kuo Tianzheng’s tone stalled, and he stamred, unsure of what to say. Ultimately, he wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. Now, even his direct superior had spoken; if he said anything untactful, things could beco dangerous.
This branch manager position was sothing he had fought hard for, to showcase his talents. He didn’t want to lose it before even beginning to demonstrate his abilities, and be recalled by headquarters.
Seeing Kuo Tianzheng silent, Shu Ya finally relaxed her brow and looked at Hao Jian on the stage, her beautiful eyes suddenly bending into a smile.
She knew Hao Jian would never do things that cornered himself into desperation. So, his words must be backed by confidence.
In the last battle with Yamamoto Ichiro, Shu Ya already saw that Hao Jian hadn’t used his full strength. Instead, he toyed with Yamamoto Ichiro like a monkey. Moreover, he easily took her away when they were cornered by Yamamoto Ichiro and others later.
Although she had her eyes closed and didn’t see the situation on the spot, the news afterward revealed what happened that night: Yamamoto Ichiro and others all died under mysterious circumstances. She knew it was Hao Jian’s handiwork; only he would do such things.
Whether from Huaxia or here in East Ocean, Hao Jian’s demonstrated strength has shown he wouldn’t fear these masters or lose to them.
After all, Hao Jian just promised her to rest assured, which indirectly ans he won’t lose. If he’s not going to lose, what is there for her to worry about? Moreover, Hao Jian never speaks without good reason.
“Oh?”
As soon as Hao Jian’s words ca out, Sato Hikaru on the opposite side grinned, displaying a bright smile. “I’ll take your word for it!”
“Swish!”
His foot slamd the ground, and Sato Hikaru’s figure darted out, excitent evident in his eyes. As long as he moved Hao Jian a step, he would win. Such a simple thod, he really hadn’t encountered before.
Could this guy be a moron? Knowing the opponent is tough yet daring to say such a thing? While so might not care about these words, Sato Hikaru lacked the qualities of a master, instead genuinely believing what the opponent said!
Since Hao Jian said that just pushing him one step would count as a win, why should he refuse to believe it? Such effortless competitive advantage, why not accept it?
“Kid, don’t underestimate any of us four masters!” Sato Hikaru was already in front of Hao Jian, laughing loudly as he pressed forward: “None of us are easy to deal with!”
His palm swung out, and sohow a small knife flew out, stuck between Sato Hikaru’s fingers, and slashed sharply at Hao Jian’s chest!
Die!
Sato Hikaru’s eyes were filled with excitent, shouting in his heart. Watching the knife tip nearing Hao Jian’s chest, his excitent grew uncontrollably.
“Snap!”
A palm suddenly appeared in Sato Hikaru’s view. In his stunned mont, he imdiately felt a whirlwind, and intense pain brought him back to his senses.
He found himself already outside the stage, losing the qualification for the competition and losing the match!
The stage battle has a rule that falling out of the stage results in losing the right to continue. If you’re outside the stage, it’s judged as losing!
“Moron!”
As soon as Sato Hikaru hit the ground, many people had this word flash through their minds. Hao Jian shook his head slightly, the palm he’d swung out at so point slowly retracting.
Retracting his gaze from Sato Hikaru, Hao Jian didn’t intend to continue watching the guy. After all, those who lost and fell from the stage are not qualified for further attention!
“This moron!”
Below, Ota Shun saw Sato Hikaru surprisingly get dealt with by a single hand and his gloomy face turned even darker. Ogawa Sho beside him couldn’t help but spit.
How could he make such a Low-Level blunder?!
“Who’s next?”
Hao Jian ignored the thoughts of these people and also disregarded the angry glance Sato Hikaru shot at him from the arena, instead setting his gaze on Ota Shun and his companion, a cold smile curling at the corners of his lips: “Which one of you wants to co up first?”
“!”
Before Ota Shun could decide, Ogawa Sho, who had barely been restraining himself, imdiately stepped forward, leaping onto the arena with excitent on his face.
This ti he had even defeated Sato Hikaru, so if he could defeat this guy, wouldn’t it an his reputation would surpass Sato Hikaru’s?
That would an he could rightfully beco the second of the four great masters, and not the weakest one!
Seeing Ogawa Sho go up, Ota Shun’s eyes flickered but he did not stop him. Since this guy wanted to go up, he probably wouldn’t make the sa mistakes as Sato Hikaru did. He could assess Hao Jian’s strength from this battle and also wear him down a bit.
In this way, even if Ogawa Sho lost, Hao Jian would have used up most of his strength. Then, when it was Ota Shun’s turn to fight Hao Jian, it would be easier, and his chances of winning much higher.
“Is it your turn?”
As Ogawa Sho ca up, Hao Jian casually played with his fingers: “It would be great if you could co at
together; it saves
the trouble of dealing with you one by one, which is a waste of ti. After all, thirty seconds have already passed…”
Ogawa Sho, having just gotten onto the arena, was thinking of exchanging so words formally, but after hearing Hao Jian’s statent, he snorted coldly and decided against speaking, as this guy was clearly underestimating them!
“You’re courting death!”
Ogawa Sho roared angrily, kicked his foot, and a gleam of cold light cut through the pitch-black night, reaching Hao Jian in the blink of an eye.
“Oh?”
Hao Jian raised an eyebrow, shifted his stance slightly, and tilted his body to dodge the cold light. He turned his head to find that Ogawa Sho, who had been standing in place, had vanished.
At this mont, a trace of a smile curved on Hao Jian’s lips: “It seems I’ve underestimated your ability; I didn’t expect you to be capable of such quick short-range movent…”
As he finished speaking, a shadowy figure appeared behind Hao Jian, erging out of nowhere!
His eyes were cold and emotionless, not moved by Hao Jian’s words. He grasped a katana that seed to co out of nowhere and swung it at Hao Jian’s neck as if chopping down a tree.
“Swish!”
Sensing the chill from behind, Hao Jian frowned, stepped forward to dodge Ogawa Sho’s strike. Upon seeing this, Ogawa Sho didn’t mind, instead quickly vanished into the darkness, like an assassin, searching for weaknesses in Hao Jian.
“I wonder if you’re like a mouse, hiding so fast.”
Glancing at Ogawa Sho, who had disappeared from the arena, Hao Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and, not paying it much heed, lightly chuckled and spoke.
“Hoo…”
A gentle breeze passed by, an intense chill suddenly spread throughout Hao Jian’s body, his eyes imdiately filled with coldness, and he laughed loudly, reaching for a spot beside him that seed like air.
“Found you!”
What his hand grasped wasn’t void but a body that blended into the air, with Ogawa Sho’s astonished face on it.
Holding Ogawa Sho by his collar, Hao Jian looked at him indifferently, his eyes icy, and said: “If you don’t intend to settle down, then I’ll have to take your life. Don’t think I won’t dare; after all, your ability is invisibility, or more accurately, a blinding thod.”
“If I use the sa blinding thod to kill you, perhaps no one will know it was …”
As he spoke, Hao Jian’s hand suddenly reached into the void, leaving only a portion of his arm visible.
Seeing this, Ogawa Sho’s pupils imdiately contracted. This guy managed to perform such a blinding thod without any assistive tools?!
When Hao Jian revealed this move, the dagger that was about to reach Hao Jian’s neck suddenly halted because his hand was sohow resting on his chest.
If he made any move, it might end up with him dying the mont this guy did.
“Trash!”
Watching from below, Ota Shun’s face turned ugly. He had hoped to rely on Ogawa Sho to probe Hao Jian’s strength, but now it seed they hadn’t even tested his basic strength and had managed to fall into a trap instead.
“It seems I’ll have to step in myself.”
Ota Shun suddenly chuckled lightly: “Congratulations, sir, on completing two rounds of matches. Now let
be your opponent!”
As he finished speaking, he stomped on the ground, his figure floating, and landed on the arena.
