84 Chapter 84, Duel (4)
“Old Eight! Old Eight…”
Yang Tian had just walked into the arena and looked curiously at the rich people who were raising their money to place their bets when he suddenly heard someone calling him ‘Old Eight’. Moreover, the voice sounded extremely familiar.
Yang Tian looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw Zhao Wu waving at him.
Around Zhao Wu was the red-haired Xiao Fei who looked extremely conspicuous. Zhou Feng, Liu Xiao, Wang Guang, Li Xuan, and Liu Jian were all here.
Yang Tian smiled happily and immediately walked over.
This arena was like a small football field, but in the middle was a square arena surrounded by iron bars. The iron bars were not very high, only about one meter. Xiao Fei and the others were all martial artists and squeezed by the iron bars.
“Eighth brother, after we’re done, we’ll go to Heaven on Earth. You promised,”Xiao Fei said with a smile.
“No Problem!”Yang Tian nodded.
At this time, Zhao Wu waved the betting slip in his hand at Yang Tian and said with a smile, “Eighth brother, I’ve taken out all the money that I can use to bet on your victory. You must not lose, or my wife will not forgive me.”
“How much?”Yang Tian asked curiously.
Zhao wu said, “Five million! If you win, this five million will become twenty-five million. I will help you pay for your treat later.”
“Pa!”
As soon as Zhao Wu said that, Zhou Feng patted Zhao Wu’s head and said, “Don’t worry. Eighth Brother will definitely win. Just wait to count the money!”
Zhao Wu rubbed his head and said with a bitter smile, “Why did you hit me? You Bet 10 million, more than me!”
Zhou Feng smiled awkwardly.
“Eighth brother, they all bet less. They all bet millions and tens of millions. I Bet 100 million!”Xiao Fei said at this time.
His teammates completely trusted him, so Yang Tian was naturally happy. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry. This time, I’ll make sure you earn enough!”
Yang Tian had to win, because if he lost, he would die!
After chatting with Xiao Fei and the others for a while, du Xiongwu finally arrived.
When Yang Tian and du Xiongwu held their weapons and stood in the middle of the arena, the surrounding audience all shut their mouths and looked at the two of them without blinking, especially the martial artists.
Martial artists were the richest people in this world. Almost all the martial artists had placed their bets. The winner of the battle between Yang Tian and du Xiongwu was related to their financial interests. Also, as a martial artist, he naturally wanted to see a battle between experts and learn from the battle experience.
Yang Tian held the knife and quietly looked at du Xiongwu who was more than ten meters away from him.
Du Xiongwu used a hook knife. This was a special custom-made weapon. The length and shape of this knife were similar to the Tang knife in Yang Tian’s hand. The difference was that the tip of this knife was a sharp hook, it was like the tip of a hook. If it pierced into a person’s body, a large piece of flesh would be pulled out. It was a vicious weapon.
Moreover, there was a high possibility that this weapon was smeared with poison.
Du Xiongwu was also wearing a simple leather armor.
This kind of leather armor was naturally not simple. Its defensive ability was even stronger than the armor that Qi Xun and Wei Zhong were wearing.
The two of them exchanged a glance, and then a long silence ensued. Neither of them moved first.
This situation lasted for several minutes.
“Why aren’t the two of them fighting yet?”
“That’s right! What are you waiting for?”
“Don’t make a sound! What do you know! In a battle between experts, a single slip-up will give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of. They are building up their strength!”
..
Soon, the surrounding crowd began to discuss in low voices.
Most of the people who spoke were the families and wealthy businessmen of the martial artists. These people were not martial artists, so they naturally did not understand why Yang Tian and du Xiongwu had not made a move after waiting for so long.
As for the martial artists, they held their breath and focused their attention on the two of them. They were afraid that the two of them would make a move in the blink of an eye..
Looking at du Xiongwu, Yang Tian was originally a little nervous. This was his first time fighting with a true rank 8 martial artist, and nervousness was an instinctive reaction.
However, after a few minutes of mental adjustment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to defeat the person in front of him.
This was the mental quality that Yang Tian had trained in the forest for half a year.
“Peng!”
Suddenly, the two of them moved at the same time and charged towards each other.
Their feet borrowed the ground from the ground, leaving a deep hole in the grass.
Martial artists did not know Qinggong. If they wanted to use their strength, they had to have a place to borrow their strength. The more strength they used, the greater the damage they would cause to the thing that borrowed their strength.
“Peng!”
Almost at the instant that the two of them activated, they collided. When the two weapons came into contact, a rapid vibration was emitted.
The figures of Yang Tian and du Xiongwu ‘collided’and bounced away at the same time.
“Hu”
After stabilizing his body, Yang Tian let out a long breath. He felt that his arm was a little numb. Du Xiongwu was indeed a rank eight martial artist. His strength was incomparable to that of a rank seven martial artist.
Du Xiongwu also stopped at this moment. He had the same feeling as Yang Tian.
“This kid doesn’t look strong, but he’s really strong!”Du Xiongwu looked at Yang Tian and thought to himself.
“Peng! Peng!”
Suddenly, the two of them moved again, and two sounds of their feet stomping on the ground could be heard. Their figures ‘collided’with each other again.
“Chi ~”
This time, when their weapons collided, there wasn’t an intense sound of collision. Instead, it was an ear-piercing sound of friction.
Just like before, the two of them were quickly repelled by the powerful strength of the other party.
However, unlike before, this time, the two of them were no longer separated by a single touch. Instead, in a short span of two seconds, they had exchanged more than ten moves.
Ordinary people could only hear the sound of metal scraping against metal, but they were unable to see the movements of the two of them clearly because they were too fast.
After separating, the two of them charged at the other party once more.
Yang Tian was extremely careful with du Xiongwu, especially his weapon. This was because it was highly likely that the hook blade was smeared with grade-8 sea dragon venom, so it was impossible for the hook blade to be stained with it.
“Chi Chi… Peng Peng… Dang Dang…”
The figures of the two continued to flash in the less than 1,000 square meters of the arena, causing one’s eyes to be dazzled.
“Eighth is so fast. I’m already a grade-5 martial artist. In the hands of eighth, I can’t even last one move.”
Xiao Fei’s eyes stared at the battle between the two and said very seriously.
“Eighth brother is so powerful!”
Zhao Wu said in surprise.
Xiao Fei didn’t explain, because it could be seen without explanation. For the martial artists watching the battle, this kind of battle was simply unimaginable. Yang Tian and du Xiongwu’s figures flashed like a cluster of fleeting shadows. Their speed was too fast, like lightning, it was probably close to the speed of sound!
“Bang!”
Right at this moment, a loud sound rang out, and Yang Tian and du Xiongwu separated at the same time.
The two of them fought at high speed for over ten minutes. Du Xiongwu was already slightly panting, while Yang Tian still had a calm appearance. His face was not red, and he was not panting.
Looking at Yang Tian’s calm and composed appearance, a fierce light flashed in du Xiongwu’s eyes.
Yang Tian had grown too quickly. In just a short half a year’s time, he had become a martial artist of the eighth rank. The speed of his advancement could be described with the word ‘terrifying’.
As a martial artist of the eighth rank, du Xiongwu naturally understood that a martial artist would need a very long time to grow from the initial first rank martial artist to a martial artist of the eighth rank. Yang Tian’s uniqueness naturally caused him to have a very deep defensive heart.
