[System Prompt: Congratulations, player ’Hidden Moon Following Wind’, you have killed player ’Cloud Guest’ in a life and death duel. Your reputation in Xiaofeng City has increased by 210 points. ——You’ve received one piece of dueling loot.]
Looking at the system prompt, Xiao Jie slightly smiled. To tell the truth, he was actually a bit nervous at the beginning of the duel, especially since it was a life and death duel and his opponent was 6 levels above him.
However, as the fight truly began, he discovered the formidable power of the Supreme Divine Skill was definitely not just talk.
He completely toyed with his opponent.
Only the final Big Move posed a slight threat—but just slight.
(Mr. Ramen, rest in peace, I’ve avenged you.) Xiao Jie thought, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders.
Glancing at his inventory, there was an additional bluish-purple package labeled [dueling loot]. Xiao Jie was pleasantly surprised. This kid had some good stuff, actually dropping a Top-Grade item. He had thought at most a blue equipment would drop.
The surrounding players who were watching suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Hahaha, awesome, that secret technique was beautifully used."
"I go, Cloud Guest died so miserably."
"Holy shit, just kill like that, this game is too scary..."
"The World Association just lost face big time."
"Well done Feng, considering all the shitty things the World Association has done, Cloud Guest deserved to die like that!"
Useless! Xiong Ba, standing nearby, was fuming internally. He had reminded him, yet this guy still misused his Big Move by using it too soon. He should have forced the opponent to use his blink skill before unleashing the Big Move!
The face of the World Association is utterly lost—no wait, this kid’s skills are so strong, losing isn’t really that embarrassing.
Beep beep beep! Suddenly, the ringing of his phone broke the silence. Xiong Ba glanced at the phone by his side, the incoming call displayed was from Cloud Guest.
Xiong Ba didn’t need to answer to know what the other party would say, certainly something along the lines of asking him to take revenge.
However, at this moment, he truly felt a desperate urge to eliminate Hidden Moon Following Wind. This kid is terrifyingly formidable and will certainly be a major threat in the future. He cannot be left alive.
The grudge was already set. Cloud Guest had killed that man’s friend, and that man had killed Cloud Guest and many from the World Association. Even if he wanted to let bygones be bygones, it would be hard for both sides to feel secure.
It would be better to think of a way to get rid of him...
Although his opponent’s movement technique was like a ghost’s, Xiong Ba was confident in defeating him. The only issue was how to entice him into a duel, since challenging him openly with his level 28 account might seem like bullying, and it would be entirely reasonable for the other party to refuse.
But given the youth’s hot-blooded nature, that could be exploited.
Xiong Ba suddenly grinned maliciously, "Kid, don’t think that just because you killed my man, it’s over, just you wait."
Xiao Jie was just figuring out how to force Xiong Ba into the field, hearing this was like a dream come true.
He laughed softly, "Haha, if that’s the case, then why wait? Let’s do it now. I’ll give you this chance—let’s have another life and death duel right here. Or are you scared?"
Xiong Ba secretly laughed inside. This kid really has no idea how close he is to death, thinking that just because he knows one advanced body movement technique, he can disdain all the heroes of the world—so naive.
Then he deserves to die by my hand today!
As for how to counter the opponent’s body movement skill, Xiong Ba already had a plan in mind.
Xiong Ba’s profession is a Qi Gong Master, possessing a talent—[Qi Mechanism Locking], which allowed him to sense the flow of the opponent’s inner strength to perceive the target’s strength and weakness.
Just now, when Xiao Jie used Phantom Traceless, Xiong Ba was able to distinctly feel when he was using his real body and when he was using afterimages.
Therefore, he was quite confident about defeating Xiao Jie.
Plus, he had discovered another fatal weakness of his opponent — his Inner Power Value was too low. After all, he was a newbie with probably just one inner strength technique practiced. He could simply wear him out to death.
Of course, there’s actually no need for so much trouble, just by locking onto his qi mechanism to find the real body, a Big Move could resolve the battle.
This battle must be stylishly spectacular, to let everyone know that the World Association is not to be trifled with.
"Kid, are you really challenging me to a duel?"
"Of course, but don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Right here, in front of all these players, if you’re willing to kowtow and admit your mistakes publicly, and promise that from now on the World Association will stay out of Fengyin State, I might consider letting this matter go."
These were actually words Xiong Ba had said earlier, which Xiao Jie now returned verbatim.
He truly hoped the other party would accept the duel. He had held back his real Big Move during the previous duels, just for this moment.
Otherwise, if the opponent came for revenge later, his troubles would be endless. After all, the opponent represented a guild, and he couldn’t stir up such trouble alone; White Ape couldn’t protect him forever, so he must push the opponent hard into the battle now.
Xiong Ba clenched his teeth in anger, "This is what you asked for. Everyone, you all saw this. It was this kid who asked for it, don’t say I bullied the weak."
Long Xingtianxia was at a loss for words at that moment, thinking how everyone seemed so impulsive these days... and this kid was way too arrogant.
He couldn’t be bothered to care anymore.
"As long as it’s fair and just, do as you will."
"Bro, don’t be rash," Xia Yi the Unrivaled urgently advised from the side.
Xiao Jie smiled faintly, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Come on, Xiong Ba, let your people see how you stand up for them. Don’t let everyone down." Xiao Jie thought to himself, this was a done deal, Xiong Ba, just wait for your end.
