Chapter 586 - STRIKING BACK

Hu Lei could see that the female Guardian was losing momentum. For most of their altercation, their strength and speed were almost the same. However, the older woman had become a little slower and even sustained more injuries.

"Finish off the fight." One of her companions said gruffly. "We need to handle things at the Arena."

The female Guardian felt a little pissed by the condescending tone. She wondered if the man was blind. Did he think that she was not trying? She was obviously using her best moves, but the small woman from the outside world was too stubborn.

"Why don't you stop the choppers from leaving the dock, genius?" She retorted before defending herself from a fierce kick.

The two Guardians who were acting like spectators realized that the reporters and their bodyguards were all already in the helicopters. They were too absorbed in the fight that they forgot about the other people on the scene.

Unfortunately, the air crafts were already rising in the air.

The two Guardians weighed on the situation. It was not impossible to stop the chopper. However, the only approach would be to forcefully stop the rotating blades by forcefully inserting something. For example, they could jam them using their swords…

But it was likely that the method would cause more harm than good.

The wreckage resulting from the damage would probably affect them. Moreover, there was no guarantee that it would stop the problem. It was more practical for them to go to the Arena and cut everything off from the roots.

Since the choppers were heading to the Arena, there was no harm in letting them go ahead. In the end, the two Guardians watched as the air crafts rose into the air and drifted away. They turned to the Guardian still fighting with Hu Lei.

"We are heading to the Arena. Finish this up quickly." One of them said before the two of them ran off in a flash.

Hu Lei realized that there was no more time to waste. She was not supposed to take out the special Guardians, but she was meant to delay them for a while to allow Jiang Yinuo to carry out her revenge. She hoped that the other woman was already done with her plan.

"I am afraid that I also have to run off." Hu Lei said with a smile.

Before the Guardian could say anything, Hu Lei leapt on the shoulders of the taller woman. The impact caused the two of them to fall to the ground. However, Hu Lei still had the upper hand. Her strong thighs grasped around the neck.

The Guardian struggled to free herself from the tight hold, but she could not. The strength exerted was inconceivable. Before long, Hu Lei had complete control of the situation. And then, with a twist of her body, there was a crack.

The Guardian was dead.

Hu Lei freed her body and stood up while panting lightly. She had not expected the opponent to be so tough. Usually, she could deal with anyone without breaking a sweat. Now, she was thankful that she had not slacked off with her training.

Unfortunately, she did not have time to rest.

Her second task was to protect Jiang Yinuo when everything fell apart. She could not take a moment to take a breath before leaving the scene. Without further delay, she picked the dead Guardian's sword and rushed off after the other two.

In the Arena, the crowd was finally stirred up enough with the desire to fight back. When the men in black came in for their coup and Jiang Yinuo launched her offence, they did not take it seriously. They believed that nothing would really happen to them.

However, the death of one of their prominent members of the martial community was dead. And he had fallen right before their eyes.

The fighting fervour of Martial Island was reignited. Even though they did not have assault weapons, they had exceptional intrinsic martial strength. Moreover, they still had strength in numbers. They could still come out on top and with minimal casualties.

Murmurs began in the crowd as people exchanged ideas on how to counterattack.

At that moment, three choppers began circling the airspace above the Arena. Those with good eyesight could see the high-definition cameras pointing at the crowds. Moreover, reporters were recording their observations carefully.

The disruption from the helicopter noise finally provided an opportunity for the people who wanted to strike back. The short distraction found quite a number of the men in black without their guns after surprise attacks.

Within a few moments, the entire Arena was in chaos. Gunshots joined the choppers in creating an unpleasant cacophony of noise. Moreover, the sounds of people shouting and screaming as everyone fought filled the air.

Jiang Yinuo was still on the stage, and she should have been safe from the chaos. However, the competitors, who were still below the platform, suddenly flooded the centre stage. They intended to challenge Jiang Yinuo during the mess.

Perhaps, in their minds, there was no better way to prove that they were the best than beating the cocky girl who dared stage a coup on the Triennial Championships Opening Night.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yinuo was not someone who would back down from a challenge. She lifted her sword and faced the overwhelming crowd with a teasing smile on her beautiful face. Like a butterfly, she defended and attacked with grace.

As the chaos reigned, the people of Martial Island finally saw their saving grace.

The two special Guardians who survived the altercation with Hu Lei arrived at the Arena. Cheers rose from the battlefield which was only meant to be a platform for watching a fun tournament. The Guardians were surprised by the chaotic scene, but they did not show it.

Immediately, they were attacked by assault firearms. However, they did not sustain injuries due to their vigilance. Their keen eyes and quick reflexes allowed them to respond to the immediate situation and begin taking out the men in black.

In another part of Martial Island, Zhong Feng finished combing through all the information and uploaded incriminating evidence to appropriate authorities. He also did not forget to create backup copies for himself as a habit.

As he left the building using the credentials provided by Taiki, he called Hu Lei.
