In the darkness, Han Tian felt very cold. His hands subconsciously reached forward and grabbed a pair of hands, as if feeling at ease, and fell asleep again... By the bed, Blue Rabbit sat on the side, with his hand on Han Tian's pulse. The little fox beside him looked anxious and asked: "Blue Rabbit, how is Han Tian?"
Lan Tu let out a breath and said, "He overexerted himself in his cultivation. Fortunately, I gave him an internal elixir just in time, so he won't suffer any major losses to his powers. He'll just need to rest for two days." Xiao Li heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. Han Tian was his comrade-in-arms, and no matter what, he didn't want anything to happen to him. At that moment, Han Tian groaned softly and slowly opened his eyes.
Han Tian, you're awake! Xiao Li and Lan Tu were overjoyed. Han Tian coughed twice and asked, "How did I end up here? Did we win the match?" Xiao Li didn't know how to respond and looked at Lan Tu instead. Lan Tu looked at Han Tian with a slightly comforting tone and said, "Han Tian, you've done your best. It's a tie."
Han Tian nodded slightly, apparently accepting this result. After all, a draw was also a comfort to him, at least his efforts had not been in vain.
Thinking of this, Han Tian revealed a faint smile. Blue Rabbit said: "Han Tian, you shouldn't be so reckless, if you're not careful, you might suffer a great loss of power or even lose your martial arts skills!" Han Tian was slightly taken aback, feeling a little delighted in her heart - is she... concerned about me? With a pale face, Blue Rabbit continued: "Take good care of yourself for the next two days, don't worry about anything else."
I'll go to the Three Tai Pavilion first, you just stay here." As she spoke, she stood up and Xiao Li nodded in agreement, watching as Lan Tu left. After leaving the inn, Lan Tu set off with her lightness skill, treading on rooftops at top speed to reach the Three Tai Pavilion. Along the way, she attracted the attention of many passersby, who exclaimed that the woman's figure was like a butterfly, and also seemed to be like a dragonfly touching water, but in an instant, she vanished without a trace, leaving behind pedestrians who were still in a daze. Originally, Lan Tu had planned to run over, but after thinking about it again, she felt it would be too slow, so she decided to use her lightness skill instead.
When they arrived at the Three Stage Pavilion, the match had already begun, and Rainbow Cat was facing off against her opponent. Blue Rabbit came to the waiting area and sat down, and Turtle 99 said: "Blue Rabbit, you're here."
Lan Tu nodded and asked, "Master, who is the opponent of Hong Mao?" Gui Jiujiu replied, "This time it's Gui Yu from the Return Moon Five-Man Group." Lan Tu looked at the stage, Gui Yu was wearing a white robe, looking like a weak scholar, but Lan Tu could sense that he had deep inner strength. It seemed that Gui Yu was the strongest among them. Lan Tu's eyes turned to Hong Mao, and in his heart, he silently said, "Hong Mao, I believe you can do it."
"In the past, no matter what difficulties she encountered, Rainbow Cat could always resolve them, even if it was a desperate situation. She believed that this time, he would also be able to!"
On the stage, Guiyu waved his hand and countless dark projectiles shot towards Hongmao. Lantou took a closer look and saw that they were countless thin needles. However, in the next moment, she suddenly realized something was off, her face changed, and she shouted to Hongmao on the stage: "Hongmao, be careful, there's poison on the needles!" Hongmao also seemed to have noticed this point, his movements became more cautious, dodging left and right. Taking advantage of this gap, Guiyu rushed to Hongmao's front, swept his leg down, Hongmao leaped into the air, avoiding this kick, while gathering energy in his palm to strike back at Guiyu.
Gui Yu didn't have the slightest intention of dodging and instead reached out with his right palm to meet the attack.
A small explosion occurred between the two, sending them flying apart. Guiyu didn't give Hongmao a chance to catch his breath and launched a second wave of attacks. Hongmao was not afraid either, forming a Tai Chi stance with both hands, "Whirlwind Fist—" Suddenly, gusts of wind surged around, and as Guiyu charged towards Hongmao, the needles on her sleeve shot out continuously, twice as many as before, while she gathered her inner strength, seemingly preparing to take on Hongmao's punch.
Just as it was about to land, Gui Yu suddenly jumped up and flipped over in mid-air, slapping the Rainbow Cat's back with his palm.
Rainbow Cat lifted her leg and kicked, the two of them clashed with one hand and one leg before separating. Rainbow Cat then used her momentum to lift up another leg and kick from the side. Gui Yu flipped his body in mid-air and swung a fist towards Rainbow Cat. Rainbow Cat also swung a fist to meet him, their fists collided and bounced off each other. Just as Rainbow Cat was about to make her next move, she suddenly felt her legs go soft, "Not good!" By this time, Gui Yu had already lifted up one leg and kicked Rainbow Cat onto the stage.
Rainbow Cat felt a numbness all over her body, stretched out her hand, and saw a small hole on it. Rainbow Cat panted and said: "You... you just now when you were about to hit me with this punch, you secretly held the needle in your fist, then used internal force to thrust it into my hand, letting the toxin enter my body!
"Guī Yǔ crouched down, with a hint of apology, and said: 'Sorry, I have to win.' Hóng Māo smiled helplessly: 'Do you know that I also must win?' Guī Yǔ sighed and said: 'Unfortunately, you don't have the chance anymore.' After finishing speaking, he prepared to throw Hóng Māo off the stage. Hóng Māo... Lán Tù was watching from below the stage, her hands were already sweating profusely in her sleeves, but her face remained calm and composed, she believed in him."
So, did I lose? What about my brothers, what about Lan E? No, I absolutely won't allow it, absolutely! Hong Mao let out a loud roar and stood up under Gui Yu's astonished gaze, with a faint red aura appearing on his body. Hong Mao raised his head and said word by word: "I will not lose." After finishing speaking, he spread open his hands, and the red aura gathered in his palms. Although Gui Yu was surprised in his heart, he didn't show any fear, for he had confidence in his inner strength. However, when their palms touched, he couldn't even last a second before feeling an intense burning pain in his palm, and then his entire body was sent flying out of the arena.
Some of the Rainbow Cat's knee pads couldn't hold on, and one leg knelt down. Blue Rabbit quickly jumped onto the stage and supported the Rainbow Cat with one hand.
Looking at Rainbow Cat's somewhat pale face, Blue Rabbit's worry was revealed. Rainbow Cat smiled weakly and said: "I... I won." Blue Rabbit smiled slightly and said: "Yes, you won." Gently hugging Rainbow Cat, he took him off the stage. The referee walked up to the stage and announced: "The winner of this match is, Phoenix Martial Arts Hall - Rainbow Cat!" Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, Rainbow Cat leaned into Blue Rabbit's arms, his eyes slowly closing...
