Chapter 735: Killing Li Tian Ba
....
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
For the average audience, both Li Tian Ba and Zhao Yu were unfamiliar names.
After all, the Old citizens were just pa.s.sersby; in terms of fame, they weren t as famous as the top ten young masters.
However, Zhao Yu being a King Slayer Rank 5 and Li Tian Ba being a King
Slayer Rank 3 did attract some attention, making people quite curious about them.
“It’S said that he’s Rank 5, surely he can reach Tier 3, maybe even have a chance
at Tier 4…”
“He doesn’t look very old!”
“They’re Old citizens, it’s normal!”
“Tier 3 is impressive. Among our five major families, those who have truly reached Tier 3 can be counted on one hand…”
“Really? I heard that w.a.n.g Bo Wen from the w.a.n.g family is only at Tier 2 high level!”
“You’re quite uninformed then. The strongest in the w.a.n.g family was w.a.n.g
Xuan, who was a prominent figure fifty years ago…”
“He advanced to Tier 3 long ago and went to Moon City. It’s said that he established a branch there, and most of the materials transported between Blackstone Town and Moon City are managed by w.a.n.g Xuan’s people…” “Wait, have you noticed the look in the eyes of those two on stage? It seems like they want to kill each other…”
“I saw it too. Rumor said there’s a grudge between them. That guy women’s death was caused by that guy over there…”
“No, I heard it was the Rank 3 woman who was stolen by the Rank 5 guy…
Even the audience could feel the tension on the stage, indicating the intense situation up there.
“Zhao Yu, you should be grateful someone’s protecting you, or you’d already be dead by now!”
Li Tian Ba’s eyes were filled with killing intent, a look of contempt on his face.
“Heh heh!”
“Do you know that if it weren’t for the w.a.n.g family, who made arrangements and signed agreements with many people in advance…” Zhao Yu chuckled lightly.
“Otherwise, with just one word from me, countless people would come to kill you?!”
Li Tian Ba’s face changed. Recently, he had indeed learned about these things from the w.a.n.g family.
Of course, the w.a.n.g family primarily did this to warn him not to cause trouble in the future. It also served as a way to inform him of their efforts, hoping for some return in the future.
“Zhao Yu. You were just lucky to find a divine herb. In my era of ruling the Zhen Realm, you were nothing!”
Li Tian Ba pointed out that the w.a.n.g family’s actions were purely because Zhao Yu was King Slayer Rank 5, not because he was impressive.
“Oh, if you’re so impressive. Why are you still stuck in Blackstone Town after five months?!”
Zhao Yu clicked his tongue, “Such a grand presence for a King Slayer Rank 3 fighter. If you were in my time, your grave would already be overgrown with weeds…”
The two stood in the arena facing off for a long time. Someone noticed that the referees for this final match were more numerous than for the other matches, at least a dozen.
“When the match starts, be sure to watch closely. Neither of these two can die
here…”
“Especially Zhao Yu. If he dies, our entire Blackstone Town will be buried with him…”
“Pay close attention and prevent Li Tian Ba from delivering a fatal blow…”
“Got it, I’ll keep an eye on him…”
The referees almost unanimously believed that there was no suspense in this match.
After all, Li Tian Ba was an intermediate level second tier and had been practicing an Earth-level martial art technique for nearly five months.
In contrast, Zhao Yu had just entered tier 2 recently, and his practice of the Earth-level martial art technique was likely only at the beginner level.
The referees took their positions, and the host finally spoke:
“This match will be stopped at a point; intentional injury or killing is
prohibited…”
“If you can’t hold on, you can admit defeat…
“If we think anyone’s life is in danger, we will intervene, which means the rescued person loses…”
After briefly announcing the rules, the host stepped down from the stage and announced the start of the match.
“It’s finally starting!”
In the front rows, the young elite had mostly gathered.
Among them were the well-known figures like w.a.n.g Yan Ran. As core disciples, they naturally knew the inside story and the conflict between the two.
Now, they all had a spectator’s mindset. The elders would worry about the two’s life and death, but for them, whoever won and restored their honor was what mattered most.
Young people naturally had an interest in such matters.
“If I were Zhao Yu, I wouldn’t even partic.i.p.ate in this match…”
“Yeah, look at him now, sharp-tongued and seemingly dominant in trash talk, but once the fight starts, if Li Tian Ba grinds him into the ground, it will be even more humiliating…”
“Ultimately, he’s still too young!”
w.a.n.g Yan Ran had previously thought Zhao Yu was someone noteworthy, but now it seemed he couldn’t even endure temporary humiliation, making great future achievements unlikely.
As they conversed, the two on stage had already begun fighting.
After a brief exchange of probing attacks, Li Tian Ba realized that ordinary martial arts wouldn’t be enough to defeat Zhao Yu. Using a heavy punch, he retreated to create some distance.
“Heh heh!”
A hint of arrogance on his face, “Your basic combat skills are solid and you might even more stronger than me, but it doesn t matter!
-Tier 2 is the era of vital energy and Blood Qi Realm. What good is normal combat skill?!”
At the same time, his long blade began to emit a b.l.o.o.d.y aura.
“He’S starting to gather his vital energy and Blood Qi energy. I wonder how much he’ll use for his first attack…”
“If I were Zhao Yu, I’d attack now to prevent Li Tian Ba from gathering too much energy…”
Someone in the audience commented, quickly expressing surprise, “Zhao Yu is also starting to gather his energy…”
“Doesn’t he know the vast difference in vital and blood level between him and Li Tian Ba?!”
At this moment, the weapons of both fighters pulled out on the stage were coated with a layer of visible red energy aura, and the blood color grew more intense with time..
