Chapter 808 Degrading Slap
There were no defensive formations placed over the martial platform edges that protected the crowd who came to watch the martial battle! There was no kind of shelter arranged because there was an out of bounds rule that made a participant lose if they were to fall on the ground.
Hence, the wave of burning flames made it to the edge of the martial platform and struck the crowd!
Cries of pain rang out, but suddenly, the flames that lit up the crowd became encased in ice before breaking into tiny shards. While all the people who were burnt fell into a stupor, a cold voice rang out.
"Get lost if you aren't strong enough to watch the battle..." Elder Enye flicked her sleeve as she gestured with her hand.
These people were so weak, yet they dared to watch the battle up close? Weren't they courting death?
She looked towards the battle platform and saw that Baize was using all his power to smash Evelynn with his mace wrapped up in his flames created by his semi-solid martial energy, but his movements were so erratic that it was all over the place and easily countered, however, she couldn't understand why the woman named Evelynn would only dodge and not attack.
Looking at her indifferent exclusion expression, she became curious about what she had in store for her since the one participating isn't from the Falling Snow Sect. She had no need to worry about people from the Towering Cloud Hall.
Like Elder Towerfall, she too was initially moved to learn that there was a woman who reached the Peak-Level of Sixth Stage when she is still below a hundred years old. However, she had her own doubts and reservations.
She didn't know what kind of Laws Evelynn trained in for her to recruit.
The next moment, Davis extended his hand and pointed straight at the battle platform.
"Ahhh!"
Evelynn and Baize battled in the skies of the martial platform as they gradually ascended. It was Evelynn who brought Baize about at her as the people were inadvertently affected by this madman's flaming attacks.
The heat around the battle platform had already reached an unbearable level, but Evelynn looked cool, traversing around and dodging his attacks with practiced and refined movements. She had already grasped his attacking pattern even though it appeared random because all of his attacks were aimed to smash her face.
Evelynn didn't get angry. After all, she knew that it was deserved because she had ruined his face with a resounding slap, and she knew what she had done at the same time. So, without saying a curse word, she used her experiences from the Sky Grade Trial when she fought those warriors as if it was a life and death battle to battle and taunt him.
Furthermore, the experience she gained while battling Magical Beasts from the Sunset Tear Mountain wasn't any less than that life and death battle. Hence, combined with these two facts, she had Baize fumbling and tumbling around to reach her.
Evelynn subconsciously yet imperceptibly grinned as she felt the entire sequence of the battle to be in her grasp. It wasn't overconfidence because she knew that she had already checkmated him. However, she was confused.
'He still hadn't found it yet?'
A flaming mace suddenly asked arrived behind her, but with a flick of her arm, she captured the flaming mace in her palm that glowed and engulfed the mace with the domineering visage of a dragon, snuffing out its flames.
Baize's face violently twitched as he looked at a mere woman easily capturing his attack. Didn't that mean he was just moving around like a monkey, truly to smash her when she could easily swat him off like a dragon?
Evelynn slowly turned and looked at him calmly while holding the mace in place, "You might want to check your left cheek if you still value your life..."
Baize fumbled away as he gained distance from her, leaving the flaming mace in her grasp. He believed her words to be a taunt, and that deeply infuriated him, but feeling something was wrong, he touched his left cheek and found something sticking out.
He plucked it apart from his face and saw that it resembled a glove, except it also resembled a delicate frame of a woman's hand.
His eyes slowly widened as he looked at the thing he identified to be the piece of skin from his cheek. It resembled the slap as if it were a freak show, and while the piece of skin was missing from his cheek, his flesh visible for all to see!
"You!-"
Baize's words were cut short as he fell towards the battle platform. No one interfered as he plunged right down to the battle platform and crashed with his back facing the ground!
