Chapter 50: Too flashy, too showy!
(0050)
In theory, speed-type cultivators are always relatively weak in terms of strength. This Xia Xingxiao, from any angle, doesn't seem like someone who has cultivated both strength and speed. In short, it's impossible for Xia Xingxiao to have such great strength that he could knock flying a veteran second-class soldier like Zhou Fa with just one punch. If it were the other way around, that would be very normal.
It's just one punch, and with that one punch, he was knocked flying. What kind of concept is this? Even Yan Baoqing or Li Yuzi wouldn't be able to knock Zhou Fa flying with just one punch, right? Li Yuzi's speed is actually similar to Zhou Fa's. Yan Baoqing furrowed his brow. Intuitively, he felt that there was something fishy going on, but he didn't know where the fishiness lay.
Fortunately, Huang Wei's speed was not bad either, and he quickly caught up with Zhou Fa, who was falling down. Before he hit the ground, he hugged him back. However, Zhou Fa's condition made Huang Wei very pessimistic. In the end, he had to put Zhou Fa on the surface rock of Aiyexing.
This action made everyone in mid-air feel that something was wrong. Obviously, Zhou Fa had already lost his combat strength. Otherwise, Huang Wei would not have been able to settle Zhou Fa like this. If the Blazing War God had one less member, it would be a bit difficult to deal with Qi Fo.
After a while, Huang Wei flew back and whispered to Yan Baoqing: "Zhou Fa was knocked unconscious and can't continue the match."
Yan Baoqing's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "What did you say?"
Huang Wei glanced at Xia Xingxiao, his eyes filled with anger, and said sullenly: "That bastard hit too hard, one punch knocked Zhou Fa unconscious. Zhou Fa's Qi Hai is temporarily closed."
Yan Baoqing flew over unbelievably, carefully examining Zhou Fa's body. There was no way, he simply couldn't believe Huang Wei's words. It was too absurd! A seasoned second-class soldier, actually knocked unconscious by a third-class soldier, how could he possibly believe it?
However, the result of the examination made Yan Baoqing's heart sink continuously. Indeed, Zhou Fa had been knocked unconscious. This was not a physiological syncope, but a temporary closure of the Qi Hai. With the Qi Hai closed, a person would naturally fall into a coma.
In order to protect the practitioner's safety, the Qihai has an automatic sealing function when encountering danger. To outsiders, it just looks like "fainting". It takes a period of time for the Qihai to slowly open, and the practitioner can gradually recover normally. If the situation is severe, the Qihai may be permanently sealed and cannot be opened again. One thing is certain, Zhou Fa will absolutely not be able to return to the arena in a short period of time.
"How did this happen?"
"This Xiaoxiao is so fierce this summer?"
Chen Yanggao and Wei Shihong looked at each other, both a bit stunned.
They thought that as soon as Xia Xingxiao went into battle, he would be killed. Everyone else was a first-class soldier or second-class soldier, but he was just a third-class soldier who ran up to join the fray - wasn't this looking for death? Unexpectedly, however, it turned out that with one move, he had killed off an opponent. With Zhou Fa's strength, unexpectedly in his presence, he couldn't even withstand a single punch, which was truly unbelievable.
The two of them were very clear about Xia Xingxiao's background. They could clearly count out all the absurd things Xia Xingxiao had done in the past. As for Xia Xingxiao having the ability to knock Zhou Fa flying with one punch, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death. Even if they witnessed this fact with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it.
In fact, including Li Yuzi and others, they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. This matter was too abnormal. Normal thinking simply couldn't imagine it. They were more inclined to think that Xia Xingxiao must have used some underhanded means to secretly attack Zhou Fa.
After all, on the battlefield, for survival, for victory, both sides of the war are unscrupulous and disregard consequences. Perhaps, there is some secret hidden weapon on Xiaoxiao's body that can't be ruled out. If Zhou Fa was hit by a hidden weapon, it wouldn't be strange at all.
However, Xia Xingxiao seemed to know nothing and rushed towards Liu Cheng again. Because of Zhou Fa's sudden elimination, many people on the scene were stunned, including Liu Cheng. Xia Xingxiao took advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng is indeed a first-rate soldier, and he's also a speed-type. In the Flame War God team, if Yan Baoqing is the number one main force, then he is the second main force. His speed is the most crucial magic weapon for the Flame War God to win. As soon as Xia Xingxiao made his move, he immediately reacted and retreated. He can't figure out Xia Xingxiao's true strength.
First-class soldier is a fourth-level cultivator, with a speed of over 200 meters per second. Liu Cheng's retreat speed was indeed very fast. However, what Liu Cheng did not expect was that Xia Xingxiao's speed was also very fast, still closely following him. This made Liu Cheng immediately aware of the danger. At the same time, he was extremely puzzled. How could Xia Xingxiao, a third-class soldier, be so fast?
In fact, Xia Xingxiao's normal speed was not more than 100 meters per second. However, he desperately burned his true energy to propel the flight technique Bi Luo Hong Chen, achieving continuous doubling of speed in a short period of time, which wasn't strange at all. And with his majestic true energy, he could completely support himself until his true energy was depleted in Liu City. In other words, whether it was speed or endurance, he wasn't afraid.
But all that could be seen were Liu Cheng and Xia Xingxiao's bodies, the meteorites surrounding the arena, and the six-armed robots flying back and forth like a marathon. At first, Liu Cheng was still able to fly in front. However, within less than a minute, Xia Xingxiao completely surpassed him and maintained a far lead.
"You! I... I refuse to accept it! I won't accept it!"
Liu Cheng was almost stunned. As a speed-type cultivator, he had absolute confidence in his own speed. No one among the top soldiers could match his speed, let alone Li Yuzhi's, which was far inferior to his. Thus, intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Cheng had developed a habit of looking down on other cultivators.
If it weren't for Yan Baoqing's connections being strong enough, the benefits being great enough, and his attitude sincere enough, he wouldn't have even joined the Blazing War God. With his speed, even if he were to join a knight officer's team, he would be widely welcomed. Speed-type cultivators are treasures wherever they go.
But today, Liu Cheng was deeply struck. Someone else, just a third-rate soldier, surpassed him, a seasoned first-rate soldier, in speed, and that too in front of everyone, under the watchful eyes of all. This really made him wonder what to do with his emotions. For a moment, he thought of ramming his head into the six-armed robot's body. How humiliating! Too humiliating! He had never been so humiliated before!
He also knew that Xia Xingxiao must have relied on burning his true energy to desperately accelerate, in order to surpass him in speed. He too wanted to burn his true energy and desperately accelerate, but unfortunately discovered that his true energy could not last for even ten seconds. How long can the true energy of a single dantian last?
In fact, even if he barely surpasses Xia Xingxiao's time by ten seconds, he will be surpassed again afterwards. The more severe consequence is that if he burns out his true energy, it's estimated that he won't even be able to maintain the most basic speed.
"Grass! Am I seeing things?"
"Heavens! This Xiaoxiao is as fast as Liu Cheng!"
"What can compare with Willow City? It's obviously even faster than Willow City!"
At this time, the onlookers were once again stunned. They witnessed a miracle that was impossible to happen. Xiaoxiao, who had already sent Zhou flying with one punch, actually surpassed Liu Cheng, who had always relied on speed to win, in terms of speed. At this moment, Liu Cheng was probably so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood.
What an idiot!
Damn freak!
This is the real feeling of every onlooker!
Wei Shihong and Chen Yangao were both consumed with jealousy, their eyes blazing with fury!
Awesome, too awesome! Unprecedented awesomeness! Never been seen before, never to be seen again awesomeness!
In their eyes, Xia Xingxiao's movements were really too cool. Originally, Liu Cheng had the nickname "Liu Yidao" in the first-class soldier team, meaning his speed was as fast as a knife light. But now, this Liu Yidao was completely limp. If they were to replace Xia Xingxiao, they would probably be so excited that their blood vessels would burst.
Enough strength to knock Zhou Fa flying with one punch, and speed that surpasses even Liu Cheng's. What kind of freak is this? And to make matters worse, he's wearing the insignia of a mere third-class soldier! When has the Mian Luo military base ever had such a freakish third-class soldier?! Is the world really going crazy?!
"Liucheng, take him down!" Yan Baoqing shouted in a sharp voice.
He had always relied heavily on Liu Yidao, but unexpectedly, in the speed that he took pride in, he was completely surpassed by Xia Xingxiao. This blow was beyond Yan Baoqing's expectations and dealt a severe blow to him. The impact of this blow was even more severe than Zhou Fa's loss of combat effectiveness.
After all, Zhou Fa is just a second-class soldier, and he can be replaced at any time. However, Liu Cheng, Liu Yidao, is irreplaceable. Liu Cheng's position in the Blazing War God is unique and unmatched, and it is impossible to find a replacement. Simply in terms of speed, Yan Baoqing would be left behind by Liu Yidao for several streets!
In the past, Blazing War God relied on Liu Cheng's speed, as well as Yan Baoqing's strategy and strength, to develop and grow step by step. Liu Cheng's speed became Blazing War God's greatest killer move. It was like this against Qiu Fo, and also against other teams. But now, Liu Cheng's speed has actually been suppressed, and it's being completely suppressed!
Yan Baoqing didn't have time to think about why Xia Xingxiao's speed was so fast. His only thought was to let Liu Cheng take down Xia Xingxiao, no matter the cost. Otherwise, as long as Xia Xingxiao was around, he wouldn't be able to win today's competition. He also believed that with Liu Cheng's strength, he would definitely be able to take down Xia Xingxiao.
However, the unexpected thing happened again. After Yan Baoqing's scream, the first to take action was not Liu Cheng, but Xia Xinxiao. Yan Baoqing's scream reminded Liu Cheng at the same time, and also inadvertently reminded Xia Xinxiao that he should have taken down Liu Cheng instead of simply competing for speed. Therefore, seeing Liu Cheng's distance getting closer, Xia Xinxiao immediately threw a punch, directly hitting Liu Cheng's side rear.
