Capítulo 1098: Chapter 864: Referee?
Sawyer’s fists collided heavily, sparking a shower of sparks from his knuckles.
The entire arena fell silent instantly, with the morale of the Dingchuan Academy’s formation at its peak, all eyes were on Tang Liuyun.
The two daggers lightly touched in front of him, then slowly pulled apart.
A sharp metallic scraping sound arose.
Zzz…
Clang!
A spark burst forth, and Tang Liuyun’s figure leapt into the air like a cheetah emerging from the shadows, tracing arcs of afterimages in mid-air with a bizarre trajectory, darting forward instantaneously.
Sawyer, nearly 190 centimeters tall, had his rock-like chiseled muscles lightly trembling at that moment; it was chilling to watch his eye whites lift as he retreated, his right fist spinning the air into a vortex before his gaze fixed straight ahead.
Suddenly, he punched!
With a thud, the air rippled with wave-like distortions.
“You fell for it.”
Tang Liuyun’s eyes briefly fixed in the afterimage… Sawyerr’s fist pierced directly through the afterimage of his body.
“Behind you!”
An exclamation erupted from the crowd outside.
A black shadow shot up from the ground into the air, then dove down like an eagle, the two daggers becoming its talons.
——Gouging Shadow from Above!
“Well done!”
A thunderous cheer erupted from the Dingchuan Formation.
“You’re too confident.”
A cold voice echoed as Sawyerr’s right fist traced a semi-circle in front of him, his body crackling with bone pops, side-stepping half a meter in a jerk, then turning into a spinning elbow.
Zip!~
The sound of daggers against steel gauntlets.
A flurry of sparks erupted as shadows clashed.
At that moment, Tang Liuyun’s daggers danced like snakes in his palms, leaving two deep gashes on Sawyer’s right arm in just an instant of aerial exchange!
The two figures separated as quickly as they touched.
Drip…
Blood dripped from fingertips onto the fighting platform, gradually forming a straight line.
“Nicely done!”
The students of the Dingchuan Formation exploded into cheers, shouting with excitement, wanting to unleash the pent-up frustration from the past few days.
Harry’s chubby hands were already red from clapping, yet within the formation, Li Xiaoxi’s keen eyes glanced towards the Gonia War Academy.
“Something’s off, look at how the other side is completely unresponsive.”
Harry paused, as did William, who wore a severe expression, turning his attention there.
Indeed, on the audience side of the Gonia War Academy, there wasn’t a trace of anger or worry on their faces, as if they were watching an ordinary show.
“That’s a bit unsettling.”
The chubby guy muttered to himself, feeling uneasy with both White Hair and Gu Yunyou preparing for their own matches, causing him to stop clapping.
“Hah.”
Sawyer raised his right hand, bringing his bloodied fingertips to eye level.
“Interesting.”
Still the same phrase.
But this time, as he said it, Tang Liuyun’s pupils shrank.
Because in his line of sight, the blood on Sawyer’s arm suddenly turned into mist, and even the blood from the dagger wounds vibrated out.
Bending low, twisting his waist, leaning forward, Sawyer crashed his right fist heavily onto the ground.
With a whoosh, air expelled from his abdomen audibly.
In that moment, Sawyer held a posture like that of gathering energy.
But to the eyes of a fighting expert, it seemed as if an overwhelming sense of danger surged forth suddenly.
“The Flame of Fighting Will has ignited; I feel a fury inside…like a volcano.” The Dark Department’s captain, Highland Warrior Tsunayoshi, opened his remaining eye, a thread of seriousness in his gaze.
“A new race of people?” Ruan Xiongfei squinted.
“More accurately, it’s the Black Stone Clan; they can control their bleeding points, and the hallmark of Black Stone men is the dual Adam’s apple.” Qi Longxiang spoke calmly, his terrifying spiritual power surpassing everyone present.
At this time, everyone noticed Sawyer on the screen, with a faint outline of his neck—indeed…dual Adam’s apple!
“Liuyun, watch out for evasion!” Hearing these analyses from the three true experts, Bach yelled loudly towards the platform.
The two were about eight meters apart, yet Tang Liuyun stepped forward.
Nodding to Bach’s voice, his steps crisscrossed, turning into a phantom instantly, with two daggers spinning into a wheel in his single palm.
He began to run around Sawyer, a circle of shadow emerging on the fighting platform as he moved so fast, people could hardly pinpoint his real silhouette.
“Grade A Fighting Skill—Wood Leaf Ghost Step.”
“Liuyun, way to go!”
Upon witnessing this miraculous scene, the audience roared in excitement, for it was the trademark step skill of the Dark Heavenly King.
At this juncture, Tang Liuyun could launch an attack on the crouched Sawyer from any angle.
The elusive dual blades just needed to pierce the opponent’s body and victory would be secured.
However, Sawyer showed no sign of evading, holding a pose as stationary as a statue.
“Hey.” The Gonia War Academy Supervisor, Manker, bore a mocking expression.
Evidently, he knew precisely what Sawyer was doing!
Second by second dragged by, tensions rose ever higher among the people.
At the 17th second, a dazzling dagger flashed across the fighting platform!
A shadow dragging a long afterimage abruptly charged at Sawyer.
The sudden explosion of movement left many unable to react.
Before they could utter a sound with parted lips, Tang Liuyun had already moved within two meters of his opponent’s body.
Everyone’s hearts leapt…
They seemed to see the daggers piercing Sawyer’s body; timid girls had closed their eyes, unwilling to witness the gory scene.
Yet at that moment…
Ruan Xiongfei, Qi Longxiang, Tsunayoshi, Bach, Lindberg—all of their gazes locked simultaneously onto one location.
Precisely where Sawyer’s right fist intersected with the ground.
A dust-covered wave suddenly erupted.
In the nearest few rows, people could feel the platform’s vibrations.
Then everyone saw those suddenly revealed icy-cold eyes!
The long fist tore from the earth, rupturing an irregular distortion in the air, with an explosive and wild momentum, a punch countering back.
At that moment, the angle of Sawyer’s arm and torso stretch, with muscles bulging in form, illustrated the beauty of violence to the utmost.
Super A-grade self-created technique—Nuclear Bomb Punch!
The wild figure collided fiercely with the dagger.
“Sawyer—”
“—for victory!”
At this moment, the Gonia War Academy formation erupted in a shocking display of euphoria.
Bang!
Sparks flew as a black shadow was struck horizontally over fifteen meters!
Splutter!
A long misty trail of blood sprayed through mid-air.
The black shadow crashed heavily to the ground.
Dingchuan Academy suddenly fell silent.
A thousand strong formation stood in unison.
Their eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
Lying on the ground was…Tang Liuyun!
His chest soaked thoroughly in blood, his left shoulder a gory mess.
Tang Liuyun bit his molars tightly, jaws clenched, large beads of sweat rolling off his forehead, trying to rise from the ground, yet failing despite several attempts.
“Really quite interesting.”
Sawyer looked down at his arm, with a dagger already piercing through the muscle.
But…
So what?
Sawyer casually pulled out the dagger and tossed it to the ground; the wound on his arm stopped bleeding instantly.
He turned his gaze towards the referee.
“Referee?”
“Give us the result.”
The solemn-faced referee surveyed the scene, slowly raising his white-gloved right hand.
“This match…”
