"You… Why the hell are you laughing, you idiot?" Charlotte grimaced.
She wanted to bash the smug smile off of the snake's stupid face.
She had worked extremely hard, day and night for this particular moment.
She hadn't even slept properly for days together.
And now that she was finally here… this damned snake was mocking her? You have got to be kidding me!
Tang Yue shook her head helplessly. "Simmer down, sister. I am just… Aha Ha Ha Ha…"
"Why did you have to disguise yourself in that black outfit? Ha Ha HA."
"I am sorry. I just can't stop laughing. Ha Ha Ha."
Fuck! Charlotte bit her lips. This was humiliating!
"You… How dare you look down on me? I will end you today."
"I will show everyone the difference between dirt and gold!"
"Don't even think about conceding. Nothing can help you now."
"Even if you concede, I will be the one facing you again in the next match."
Of course. Tang Yue smiled and replied. "Umm… Okay. But I am not planning on conceding."
"So you don't have to go through all that trouble."
Watching these two women bicker on the center stage, both the Generals exchanged awkward looks.
The onlookers rolled their eyes in contempt. Both the women were privileged noble ladies, not to mention the Crown's personal harem members.
They could have just participated in the Labyrinth exploration as it is.
Why did they have to bring their personal fight to this contest and mess with the efforts of the commoners? It was very infuriating.
Luckily for them, Charlotte had already been angered to her limits and the fighting on the stage soon began.
Ka Ta Ka Ta Ka Ta
Charlotte unsheathed her sword and dashed towards Tang Yue madly.
She clenched her fists tightly and slashed at the casually snickering pale blue woman.
Cough… Cough… Tang Yue stopped laughing with great difficulty and lifted her own sword to block the incoming attack.
But because Charlotte's speed and strength were much more than hers, she couldn't meet it perfectly and the slash landed on her body.
Of course, her armor was quite capable of blocking attacks from Saint realm experts let alone an Emperor realm expert like Charlotte.
So Tang Yue was not affected in the least.
CLANG
A loud screech resounded with the metals bashing against each other.
Charlotte retreated a couple of steps back to attack again with full force.
So what if this damned snake has a rare grade armor? How could it still withstand the full brunt of her repeated attacks?
Unlike the others, Charlotte was not a random commoner who was lacking in resources. Whatever Tang Yue had, Charlotte also more or less had.
So in this case, obviously the one with the higher talent would shine.
Charlotte tightened her grasp on the sword and pushed forward again, but this time her movement was a bit weird.
Her unusual steps did not miss the snake's emerald eyes.
Tang Yue was fully revved up. This was the perfect opportunity for her to experience actual combat and she was trying her best despite her obvious shortcomings.
She noticed how Charlotte's feet shuffled at lightning speed as if they were almost going to vanish and she took a step back, putting some distance between the two.
Unfortunately, that only ended up making things worse for her, as the elf's enchanting figure disappeared in front of her and suddenly appeared behind her.
Movement Art Cloud Steps.
Charlotte snorted loudly and hit the back of Tang Yue's head forcefully with the hilt of her sword.
Ka Cha
Tang Yue stumbled forward. Her armor blocked the attack but she still ended up being pushed forward.
Hrmm. The snake grinned as she rubbed her head. She didn't show outside that she was shaken.
But inwardly, Tang Yue's brain was racing to think of something that she could possibly do in this scenario other than getting beaten up like a target dummy.
It was almost impossible for her to use her venom laced sword since Charlotte blocked all of her weak slashes.
It was extremely difficult for a Martial realm expert to overpower or match the attacks of an Emperor realm expert.
There was just no going around it.
But even still, if she could somehow land a single attack with her sword or even her venom spit, this match would be instantly over.
Charlotte as well was aware of this and was maneuvering extremely carefully.
She did not give Tang Yue even a single opening to do either of these.
Before the angry beautiful elf could ram into her again, Tang Yue stopped hesitating and quickly released one of her hands holding the sword.
She then instantly materialized several tongues of flame in her palm.
"You…" Charlotte trembled.
She couldn't help but notice that the snake had successfully formed a mana core, which meant that she was no longer a cripple or weakling.
There were several ways to increase one's strength, agility, and body's physical defense, but there was only one way to increase one's cultivation strength.
This definitely implied that the snake was no longer a cripple!
Charlotte trembled with anger.
How could this stupid snake improve so much in a short time?
How could she afford such expensive pieces of equipment?
Just the mere thought of how much Xander had doted on this slutty snake made her enraged.
"I am going to end you today." She yelled.
Tang Yue had already converted those non-threatening tongues of flame on her hand into a full-blown flame blast.
But Charlotte merely flicked her sword and the fire was dissipated. She came slashing at her again, with hatred and animosity in her eyes.
This time Tang Yue did not move away.
The Flame blast spell was never the attack that she counted on for finishing this fight.
She had an entirely another thing prepared for the General's precious daughter.
As Charlotte approached her, just like she had expected, her feet shuffled this time similar to her earlier attack and her figure disappeared.
She then instantly appeared on Tang Yue's side aiming for the snake's torso.
Tang Yue made no efforts to block this attack and her sword was banged aside by the sheer force of Charlotte's attack.
