Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 798: Chapter 797, Scene 3

Reflecting on the matter between herself and Zhao Ping’an, and considering Zhao Ping’an’s change in status once he won, Min’er felt extreme panic.

”No, never, never let it happen!” Min’er shouted inwardly: ”He must not win the third match! No, he cannot rise, he cannot ascend to such a position, he must not!”

This woman’s heart could truly be described as extremely dark. Knowing that she and Zhao Ping’an were no longer possible, her greatest wish was for Zhao Ping’an to die there and forever remain the mud that people trample underfoot, never to stand on high, never to rise!

Only in this way could she not regret her decision, could she step on Zhao Ping’an, and could everyone say her choice was the right one!

If he was the one she had abandoned, then that man must never climb back up, this was the outcome she desired in her heart!

Amidst everyone’s shock, Patriarch Hu stood up, his brows furrowed to the extreme.

The loss of the elder was inconceivable to him. However, he was not too flustered. Their trump card wasn’t that elder after all.

”It seems we really underestimated your strength!” Patriarch Hu sized up Zhao Ping’an, expressing surprise: ”You’ve reached the Fusion Realm now? Tsk tsk, you’ve hidden your strength well; so many of us didn’t notice, impressive indeed!”

Zhao Ping’an wasn’t actually of the Fusion Realm in strength, it was just that the power within him belonged to the Fusion Realm. This power had been infused into his body after the Shadow Phantom devoured the elder’s strength.

This power had caused enough suffering for Zhao Ping’an. He now felt that every cell in his body was enduring the impact of this power, every drop of his blood was boiling and churning, every meridian was continuously struggling, every bone in his body was under extreme compression.

This pain was simply unimaginable to him.

But he did not show even a hint of it. He knew this was the result of using that ”Immortal” method, where his body would be blown apart by the intense force.

But he didn’t care. Having chosen this path, he was determined to follow it through. The third match must be completed at all costs. Even if it meant death after the match, it would be worth it!

So, Zhao Ping’an didn’t waste any words and just clenched his teeth, saying, ”The third match!”

”Good! Brave!” Patriarch Hu bellowed, looking toward the Masked Man.

The Masked Man didn’t waste words either, directly ascending to the stage and standing face to face with Zhao Ping’an.

The venue fell into a deathly silence; they all guessed that this match would be the Masked Man’s turn. But when the Masked Man actually appeared, everyone still felt an endless pressure.

It was this Masked Man who had shattered every bone of Myriad Enemy with effortless ease!

Now, he was about to battle Zhao Ping’an.

How many moves could Zhao Ping’an withstand against him?

”He’s doomed!” Foo Qinglan gritted her teeth, now unable even to distinguish between friend and foe. She couldn’t bear that Zhao Ping’an had such tremendous strength, couldn’t bear that the man she had always looked down upon could suddenly burst forth, and couldn’t stand that her own views were wrong.

”Kill him! Kill him!” Min’er also shouted loudly in her heart.

Li Siyuan also clenched his teeth, saying, ”Think you can show off in front of so many people, hoping to become famous with this opportunity? Hmph, what’s the use, if not dead then crippled, and even if famous, he’ll be a waste in the future!”

Everyone’s eyes were on Zhao Ping’an, and none held hope for him.

After all, this Masked Man was in a completely different league compared to those before him.

Zhao Ping’an, however, had not a shred of fear. Or rather, he was on the brink of death; what more was there for him to fear? All he had to do now was win this third match!

”Mom, brother, sister, I’m sorry!” Zhao Ping’an whispered, suddenly striding toward the Masked Man.

The Masked Man didn’t move an inch, and as Zhao Ping’an nearly reached him, he vanished on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind Zhao Ping’an.

The crowd on-site let out a collective gasp—the Masked Man’s movement techniques in his battle with Zhao Ping’an were far more ghostly than when he had faced Myriad Enemy.

It seemed that the Masked Man had been holding back when he fought Myriad Enemy. Now, facing Zhao Ping’an, he was holding nothing back.

Yet Zhao Ping’an was utterly fearless, even ignoring the Masked Man’s attacks and counterattacking instead.

The Masked Man’s strikes hit Zhao Ping’an’s back, but they were ineffective. The Shadow Phantom of Devouring the Heavens always accompanied Zhao Ping’an, and no matter how the Masked Man attacked, he couldn’t breach it unless he was stronger than Su Yang.

Seeing the Masked Man’s attack fail, the crowd exclaimed in shock once more.

Keep in mind, these were the attacks that had shattered Myriad Enemy’s bones, and yet they were useless against Zhao Ping’an?

The Masked Man was also astonished, not expecting his attacks to be utterly ineffective. He furrowed his brows and struck out once more. But the situation remained the same; he couldn’t injure Zhao Ping’an in the least.

Zhao Ping’an kept up the pressure, relentlessly pursuing the Masked Man. The Masked Man moved like a phantom, and Zhao Ping’an couldn’t touch him at all.

Like this, one’s attacks were ineffective, and the other’s couldn’t land; the fight was in a deadlock, neither able to do anything to the other.

The Masked Man also got heated in the battle and eventually couldn’t hold back any longer. Suddenly, he drew the long saber from his back and switched to using it to attack.

Someone from Dewei Martial Arts Hall immediately shouted, ”Unfair, how could you use a saber? Ping’an is unarmed!”

This comment gained the support of a few people in the crowd, but the vast majority remained silent. After all, most were still fearful of the Hu Family, believing that the Masked Man still had a good chance of winning.

Facing the Masked Man’s fierce saber technique, Zhao Ping’an was not afraid at all, still not dodging or caring, putting all his effort into chasing the Masked Man.

This was his last match, his last battle before death; what did he have to worry about? Even if his arms and legs were chopped off, he was going to die anyway; as long as he won, that was all that mattered!

The saber light from the Masked Man was devoured by the Shadow Phantom, leaving him quite perplexed, not understanding what was happening. In the end, he had no choice but to engage in close combat, getting up close to Zhao Ping’an’s body to clash with him.

And this was exactly the opportunity that Su Yang had been waiting for.

Su Yang was now remotely controlling the Shadow Phantom; he had to protect Zhao Ping’an’s life and fight the enemy at the same time, naturally unable to attend to everything. The Shadow Phantom couldn’t leave Zhao Ping’an to attack, or else Zhao Ping’an would be in danger.

But, with the Masked Man engaging in close combat, this played right into Su Yang’s hands.

The moment the Masked Man came within range of the Shadow Phantom, he sensed that something was amiss. His strength rapidly drained away, while Zhao Ping’an seized the opportunity, gathering all his strength and landing a punch on the Masked Man’s face!
