"Jiang Kai" turned into points of light and dissipated.
During the process of dissipating, he stared fixedly at Dongfang Bai and said viciously, "You despicable bastard!"
However, no one cared about "Jiang Kai's" curses anymore.
Everyone below the stage was shocked by Dongfang Bai's terrifying strength.
What people had hoped would be a clash between two top experts had actually turned into a one-sided crushing!
Jiang Kai had not even used his Haotian Demon-Slaying Sword. His three decoys were broken, and just as he activated Play With Fate and All Beings, he was instantly killed by Dongfang Bai's ultimate move!
Zhou Chu stared blankly at the stage. Even now, he still could not believe this was real.
Wei Ying's brows were tightly furrowed. He did not even notice the nuts in his hand falling to the ground.
In Wei Ying's view, Jiang Kai losing might not have shocked him this much. What he found truly unbelievable was that Jiang Kai had been completely unable to fight back.
This kid had encountered so many desperate situations before. Every time, even when Wei Ying himself felt there was no hope, that guy always managed to pull through.
But this time, Jiang Kai had lost so easily?
To Wei Ying, this was simply impossible to understand.
Dong Shuai was silent for a long time before finally speaking. "Victory and defeat are common in warfare. Maybe our expectations of Jiang Kai were too high… But Sect Master Zhou, you don't need to worry. At least with me here, I will help Jiang Kai seek justice."
Yin Tianguang tilted his head to look at his daughter and asked with a half-smile, "So, how about it? If I asked you now to choose between Dongfang Bai and Jiang Kai, would you still choose Jiang Kai?"
Yin Lingsha let out a long sigh. "I choose neither…"
This match seemed to have come to an end.
However, among the many spectators, there was one person with tightly furrowed brows, saying nothing.
Dongfang Canghai felt uncomfortable all over at this moment.
"I always feel like something's wrong!"
"Did I miss some step… tsk… Jiang Kai lost just like that. That shouldn't be possible…"
Dongfang Bai watched as Jiang Kai turned into points of light and dissipated, and only then did he sheathe his sword.
He turned to face the main viewing seats and cupped his fists toward the audience. "Everyone saw it. This Jiang Kai is nothing but a hollow reputation. If it weren't for his fraudulent decoys, he wouldn't last three moves in my hands!"
"I won fair and square, yet he still cursed me as a despicable bastard. This just shows how narrow-minded he is!"
"With someone like that, he wants to be compared with me? What a joke!"
Everyone had seen the fight between the two. There was no longer any disagreement about Dongfang Bai's evaluation.
Warm applause rang out from below the stage.
At that very moment, Dongfang Canghai below the stage suddenly widened his eyes!
What he had missed was… the Regeneration Armor!
The Regeneration Armor could block one fatal blow. Setting aside whether it could block Dongfang Bai's reversed true qi, when Jiang Kai was killed just now, the Life Hymn effect of the Regeneration Armor had not been triggered at all!
"Bai'er, be careful! Jiang Kai isn't dead!" Dongfang Canghai shouted loudly from below the stage.
Unfortunately, his shout was completely drowned out by the thunderous applause around him.
Dongfang Bai was still making an impassioned speech on stage… Yet about four or five meters behind him, a human figure slowly appeared.
When people saw this person, the entire venue instantly fell into dead silence. Everyone stared at Dongfang Bai's back as if they had seen a ghost.
Dongfang Bai realized something was wrong only after the fact. Noticing the strange atmosphere below the stage, he followed everyone's gaze and suddenly turned around.
When he saw the person behind him, Dongfang Bai's eyes went wide, and he was so shocked he could not speak for a long time.
"J-Jiang Kai?!"
Jiang Kai shook his head, sighed, and said, "Sorry, you misunderstood. The one who died just now was my clone. And the one he cursed at the end wasn't you. He was cursing me…"
Sigh, this clone still refused to accept the reality that it was just a skill.
As the owner, was it wrong to use it to test the opponent's skills?
Using Fraudulent Decoy while swapping the clone in place of the main body to mess up the opponent's judgment, wasn't that basic operation?
I'm a gambler. Is tricking people a bit really that excessive?
In the end, the clone actually cursed him as a despicable bastard. That was really heartbreaking.
"Hey, idiot, that reversed true qi of yours is actually pretty impressive. Luckily I tested it with a clone, otherwise I would've been blown to pieces by you." Jiang Kai said casually.
"But I was invisible the whole time just now, and you didn't notice me at all… Looks like you can't sense invisible units. I just don't know what method you used before to find my main body."
Dongfang Bai was not relaxed at all.
All those dazzling moves he had just pulled off, and in the end he had only killed Jiang Kai's clone?
"You… at which fraudulent decoy did you switch in the clone?"
"Guess." Jiang Kai looked at Dongfang Bai with a smile.
Below the stage, Yin Lingsha said viciously, "This guy is so shameless!"
The four people cracking melon seeds below the stage, after seeing Jiang Kai reappear, resumed from their paused state and continued cracking seeds…
"I told you, this kid wouldn't lose that easily."
"He's been scamming this one and scamming that one all day. This time he even fooled us!"
Dongfang Bai finally recovered from the shock. He looked at Jiang Kai and sneered. "Jiang Kai, what are you being arrogant about? If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"
Jiang Kai curled his lips. "You understand my skill talents, but I don't understand yours, so I just tested your skills. If you call that killing me once, then your confidence is really quite blind."
Although the clone had many of Jiang Kai's skills, it was still only at fourth-tier max level, lacking some newly acquired powerful skills and items. Facing an opponent at Dongfang Bai's level, it was normal for it to be killed.
After saying that, Jiang Kai twirled his sword in his hand, and his expression also grew serious.
"Your reversed true qi is indeed strong, but unfortunately it doesn't reverse inside the body, so your true qi attacks aren't much different from anyone else's. As long as I avoid your previous attack trajectories, they pose no threat to me."
Dongfang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered. "Oh, really? Then I'd like to see how you break my reversed true qi!"
With that, Dongfang Bai once again swung out his azure sword and activated Unmatched Under Heaven, charging toward Jiang Kai.
"Sea and Sky Sword Art: Startling Dragon Sword!"
"War Eight Wastelands! Moonlit Immortal Trace Sword!"
Dongfang Bai and Jiang Kai once again clashed.
The Sky Azure Twin Swords, combined into one, had terrifying power. Jiang Kai used War Eight Wastelands to dodge left and right, avoiding their edge.
The Moonlit Immortal Trace Sword had horrifying explosive force, and even Dongfang Bai did not dare to meet it head-on.
"Earth God's Command! Earth Impact!"
"Mighty Armor, area defense!"
The two attacked and defended in turns, neither giving way.
The atmosphere at the scene was already tense like a tightly drawn string. Everyone was completely focused on watching the battle between the two super-strong experts.
"Dongfang Bai is accumulating attack trajectories. If Jiang Kai still can't take down Dongfang Bai, the next reversed true qi will be extremely terrifying," Hua Tianchen said.
Luo Ping shook his head. "Maybe Jiang Kai's strike under Play With Fate and All Beings will be the strongest!"
Dongfang Bai had practiced martial arts for a long time. In such an intense battle, his foundation in martial arts gradually showed its advantage.
Combined with the complex variations of the Sky Azure Twin Swords, Jiang Kai was still stabbed in several places.
However, Dongfang Bai kept holding back his reversed true qi, seemingly waiting for Jiang Kai to use Play With Fate and All Beings.
While the two were fighting, Dongfang Bai found an opening in Jiang Kai's defense and suddenly struck.
"Instant Sword!"
Jiang Kai dodged this strike, but the azure sword behind him directly stabbed toward Jiang Kai's back.
Jiang Kai did not avoid this sword. The Regeneration Armor triggered Life Hymn, blocking the fatal damage.
At the same time, however, Jiang Kai was also severely injured.
"Play With Fate and All Beings! Desperate Outlaw! Godless Land!" Jiang Kai used three talents in succession, pushing his combat power to its peak!
"Jiang Kai, both of your life-saving chances are gone. This time, let's see how you run!"
"Twin Swords as One! Reversed True Qi!"
The entire arena suddenly erupted in a violent explosion.
The attack trajectories Dongfang Bai had accumulated through dozens of exchanges were already spread across the arena. This time, the reversed true qi directly filled the entire stage!
Facing the overwhelming explosions, Jiang Kai's eyes turned blood-red. He roared angrily, "Foolish dream, Flame Enhancement!"
"Quenching Fire: Nine Heavens Immortal-Slaying Sword: Haotian Demon-Slaying Sword!"
The flames of this sword turned the entire sky red. Jiang Kai, like a red beam of light, shot straight toward Dongfang Bai.
With a deafening boom, the energies of the two ultra-strong moves collided, kicking up a storm of raging flames!
The entire battlefield was swallowed by fire!
Wei Ying stood up in a daze, staring at the battlefield. "These two… who won and who lost!"
