BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1201 - Spearmanship!
Chapter 1201: Spearmanship!
Upon seeing that their big boss was about to go on stage, everyone cried out tearfully, “Big Sister... you must not fall for their shameless schemes ah...”
“Relax!” Purity replied bravely and said, “In the face of absolute power, any sort of schemes will be useless.”
“We are counting on you!!” Everyone hurriedly bowed towards Purity.
Meanwhile in Quan Zhen Sect’s camp, Fearless fondled his chin and said to the rest of Quan Zhen Sect, “Do you all know how to make your enemy fall into ultimate despair?”
“Ultimate despair? How do you do it?” everyone asked curiously.
“You have to kill their heart!” Fearless replied as he drew an X across his chest. He added, “They must be panicking right now, and would thus use all means to win the third battle. It is at this moment that we will defeat them in this battle and leave them in despair.”
“Therefore...”
Everyone came to a sudden realisation, and turned over to look at Wang Yu’s figure.
“That’s easy!” Upon seeing this, Wang Yu pounded his fists together and said, “Leaving others in despair is what I’m best at!”
Wang Yu was selected as the fighter for the third match.
The moment both sides have selected their players, the voice of the emcee immediately rang out in the arena, “The players for the next match are... from Team Pugilists Don’t Cry, Cold Winter Spear, Purity! And from Team A Murder Of Crows, the number one Pugilist, Iron Bull! Let’s welcome these two players!”
Following the flash of a white light, both Purity and Wang Yu were teleported onto the stage.
Upon seeing the two players on stage, the hearts of the originally restless audience quickly calmed down as they commented excitedly, “This time around we can finally see a fulfilling battle!”
However, there were still some that were skeptical and said in response, “Surely that big block head wouldn’t try to pull any tricks or stunts this time right...”
“Great God Iron Bull is a renowned expert in the game, and experts usually have their own pride to uphold. I’m sure he wouldn’t be that shameless.”
“However he is still from the Quan Zhen Sect...”
“Sii...”
At this point, everyone started worrying about how the match would turn out.
Of course, their worries were unnecessary. The reason why Quan Zhen Sect had to play dirty was because they knew fully well that their abilities were insufficient and thus they had to use another approach to win their battles. If all of them were as overbearing as Wang Yu, they naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to show off in front of the millions of spectators.
With Wang Yu’s abilities, the time taken to think of such schemes would be more than sufficient for Wang Yu to take down the enemy. Fighting head on and overwhelming the enemy ruthlessly was more of Wang Yu’s style.
On the contrary, the moment the members from Team Pugilists Don’t Cry saw that Purity’s opponent was Wang Yu, they could no longer stay seated.
How could they, as martial artists, not know how vicious Wang Yu was? In the past, the seven of them had faced Wang Yu alone and he had still single-handedly swept the floor with them. Now that Purity was facing him alone, wouldn’t the situation be even more disadvantageous for them?
Purity and Wang Yu both had a prideful heart of martial arts and had an unwavering belief in their own martial arts abilities.
Failure wasn’t scary. Having a fearful heart was the scary feeling.
Even though she knew that her opponent was formidable Wang Yu, Purity calmly took out her long spear as usual and adopted her usual stance.
The difference in the appearance of this long spear as compared to that of the one she used in her previous battles was that of heaven and earth. This long spear had a fiery red spear shaft and there were two fiery wings nearing the tip of the shaft. The entire spear was emitting a dazzling fiery glow and gave off an overbearing aura.
The moment Purity took out her spear, her entire being emitted a mighty aura.
“It’s the Sky Feather Phoenix Spear!!”
When Purity took out her weapon, Nian Liuyun and the rest couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
This Sky Feather Phoenix Spear was an Ancient Grade equipment that Nian Liuyun and the rest had obtained after working together to take down the Level 100 BOSS, Flaming Scarlet Phoenix. On normal days, in order to avoid relying on her weapon and to train her skills, Purity would refrain from using the spear. Thus, this was the first time Nian Liuyun and the rest had seen Purity used the spear in an actual battle.
This move of hers was obvious, and it was to convey a message to Wang Yu saying, “You need not hold back as I will not hold back either!”
Fighting with everything one had was a sign of respect a party had for his or her opponent. In order to display his respect towards Purity’s heart of martial arts, with a wave of his hand, Wang Yu switched the boxing gloves in his hands to that of a long halberd.
The halberd radiated a pitch-black glow, seeming as if there was a black dragon coiling around the shaft. One could tell from the outer appearance of the halberd that it was an extraordinary equipment too.
This was the Dragon Halberd that Wang Yu had gotten from slaying the Heavenly Dragon, after Wang Yu and Choba reforged it.
“Weng!”
In light of the Sky Feather Phoenix Spear’s pressure, the Dragon Halberd cried out in response and reflected the pressure emitted from the spear back at it.
The entire atmosphere of the stage immediately became sullen because of the two.
As the countdown ended, the match began.
With a kick of the bottom of the spear shaft, Purity held the spear in her hands and turned into a ray of red light, dashing towards Wang Yu,
Upon seeing Purity dashing towards him, Wang Yu’s expression remained as calm as ever as he unhurriedly retreated half a step backwards and swept the halberd upwards with one hand on the end of the shaft.
“Dang!”
Wang Yu’s halberd heavily collided with Purity’s long spear. With the sharp ring of metal colliding, Purity’s long spear was swept towards the side. At this moment, Wang Yu took a step forward and raised his left palm, aiming at the head of Purity’s incoming figure.
With a twist of her body, Purity slapped the floor with her spear as she leapt into the air and arrived behind Wang Yu’s figure, sweeping her long spear towards the back of Wang Yu’s head.
Seeming as if he had eyes at the back of his, Wang Yu immediately gripped his Dragon Halberd in reverse and swept it behind him, accurately colliding with the trajectory of Purity’s attack.
“Clang!”
The heavy Dragon Halberd smashed onto the shaft of Purity’s long spear.
Purity, who was in mid-air, could not leverage onto anything and was thus sent flying in the air. At this moment, however, Purity swiftly cast [Eagle Stomp] to maintain her balance and landed firmly on the ground. The long spear in her hand was swept upwards once more, drawing an arc in front of her and aiming at the back of Wang Yu’s figure.
Wang Yu promptly crossed his legs and easily flipped his body around to dodge the attack. Following the momentum of his body and using his body as a pivot, he swept the Dragon Halberd horizontally and smashed it towards Purity.
Knowing that she was at a disadvantage, Purity frantically withdrew a few steps to pull away from Wang Yu, narrowly avoiding Wang Yu’s attack.
Regardless of whether it was the renowned martial artists or the martial artist juniors present in the audience, the display of spearmanship had left all of them in shock.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the two had merely casually exchanged blows in a few seconds. However, in the eyes of the martial arts practitioners, the blows exchanged were extremely ruthless and were all fatal blows. Any slight error in either party’s judgement would lead to the victim receiving a life-threatening blow.
Thankfully, this was in a video game and not in real life. Otherwise, the moves that were unleashed would have been prohibited.
The spear was the hardest weapon to train in, thus it was easy to kill or be killed with it. However, to display the level of offense and defense shown by the two was an extremely difficult act.
Both Wang and Li were seniors in the martial arts circle and their experience in the martial arts realm was reflected accordingly in their age. Even though Purity’s spearmanship was a little amateurish in comparison to Wang Yu’s, the level of skill displayed by her was enough to make them realise that the new generation would eventually replace theirs.
“Old Li ah... your house has developed a good seedling.” The old men on the platform all congratulated the Li family ancestor who was present.
“This is nothing to be proud of!” The old Li family ancestor sighed and said, “In comparison to that kid from the Wang family, we are still lacking.”
“Hahahaha!”
Old Bull touched the back of his head as his mouth was raised into a smile.
...
“Tsk!”
Purity, who was standing opposite Wang Yu on the stage, coldly snorted and said, “Who would have thought that you would have already reached such a level in the martial arts realm. So why didn’t you attack me when you had the chance? Are you looking down on me?”
“Ke ke!” Wang Yu impolitely smiled and said, “In just a short period of over a month, you have already improved by so much. It seems like you have a big room for improvement. If I were to attack you, I’m afraid you would not have the ability to exchange blows with me.”
