Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Xu Xingguang once more leaped into the air, straightened her left leg, and delivered a side kick carrying a gust of wind to Li Yucheng’s left arm.

That kick contained terrifying inner strength, not only rendering Li Yucheng’s left arm useless but also shattering his left ribs.

”Ah!” Li Yucheng staggered backward, struck by her kick.

Seeing that the tide had turned against him, Li Yucheng hurriedly thrust the large blade in his right hand into the ground of the battle stage. The blade tip created a deep, long mark in the ground, and he continued retreating over a meter before finally coming to a stop.

Just as Li Yucheng steadied himself and wasn’t ready to strike, he looked up and shockingly saw Xu Xingguang, fast as a phantom, slide to his left front in the blink of an eye.

Xu Xingguang suddenly lifted her twinkling eyes, glancing at Li Yucheng.

That glance was fierce and poisonous.

She looked at him like she was staring at a dead object.

Li Yucheng sensed danger and instinctively wanted to turn around and flee.

At that moment, Xu Xingguang forcefully flicked her right wrist, sending the pig-slaying knife flying obliquely toward Li Yucheng.

Whoosh—

The pig-slaying knife pierced through the air, heading directly toward the side of Li Yucheng’s neck.

Swish—

Li Yucheng heard the sound of flesh being torn by the pig-slaying knife.

Immediately afterward, he felt waves of stabbing pain spread from his neck across his entire body.

Li Yucheng suddenly couldn’t run anymore; he knelt on the ground, slowly releasing the grip on the Blood Drinking Blade. He sluggishly raised his numb right hand and touched the pig-slaying knife stuck in his neck.

On it, the warmth from Xu Xingguang’s fingers still lingered.

”You...”

Li Yucheng couldn’t believe that after half a lifetime of fighting in the martial world, he was finally slain by a twenty-something girl using a pig-slaying knife.

Strangely enough, the moves executed by the opponent were unlike any martial arts style he had seen!

Realizing Xu Xingguang had approached his side.

Li Yucheng struggled to lift his head and saw the faint smile at Xu Xingguang’s lips. ”President Li, please relay my regards to my mother, saying that her daughter has killed those who needed killing.”

Finished, Xu Xingguang swiftly pulled out the knife from Li Yucheng’s neck.

Blood immediately gushed out in torrents, and Li Yucheng fell to the ground, lifeless.

The entire beast fighting arena fell silent.

Whether it was the host, the audience, competitors, or the arena’s staff, everyone stared incredulously at the battle stage, at the woman holding the pig-slaying knife dripping with blood.

She killed the Boxing King.

From this night forward, Lady S will become a legend in the Xia Country Underground Beast Fighting Arena!

Xu Xingguang wiped the blood off the knife onto her black pants.

With one arm gripping the knife, she walked down from the stage step by step.

As Xu Xingguang was about to disappear from the battle stage, the audience finally snapped out of their daze.

Witnessing the birth of the new Boxing King firsthand, the audience erupted with excitement and cheers throughout the underground beast fighting arena—

”Lady S!”

”Lady S!”

Xu Xingguang heard their cheers but merely sneered and curled the corners of her lips disdainfully.

Nothing but a bunch of madmen ignorant of life’s sanctity.

Their admiration meant nothing.

Upon entering the lounge, Xu Xingguang retrieved her canvas bag from the storage locker and placed the pig-slaying knife inside.

Carrying the canvas bag out of the lounge, Xu Xingguang saw the young man who had previously handed her the knife preparing to enter the stage for combat.

She gazed into the deep, gloom-filled eyes of the young man for a few extra seconds, then suddenly approached him and whispered, ”If you decide to leave here, you can find me at Cangshan in Yujiang City.”

Xu Xingguang was a person who trusted her intuition greatly.

Someone once told her, intuition is a person’s spiritual power transmitting vital information to them. When you are clueless about something, it’s wise to follow your intuitive guidance.

And her intuition strongly told her that this young man was worth saving.

Thus, she offered her goodwill to him.

The young man heard Xu Xingguang’s words and subtly nodded his head.

Xu Xingguang passed through the crowd, heading toward the exit.

A guard stopped her and informed her, ”Our management wants to meet with you.” He had been observing Xu Xingguang’s battle earlier, and after recognizing her prowess, his address toward her grew reverential.

Xu Xingguang lifted her gaze and looked back at the top of the arena where, across the spectator stand, she met the distant gaze of an elderly woman.

Xu Xingguang said, ”No matter what your management needs me for, I have only one answer, I refuse.” With that, she walked out through the doors.

The guard instinctively chased her for a couple of steps, reminding her, ”Lady S, your reward hasn’t been settled yet.”

Xu Xingguang fought three matches tonight, earning considerable wealth that would be enough for ordinary people to squander for several lifetimes.

Xu Xingguang shook her head, waved her hand, and said, ”I want no money that goes against my conscience!”

Despising life, wreaking havoc among peers, money earned this way, Xu Xingguang had no desire for even a single penny.
