Qiang eyes were blood shot as he shot towards Xing Tao again, waving his remaining arm.
*SLASH*
*THUD*
The king didn't move from his place and simply cut off another limb from his body, leaving Qiang crying in pain on the ground.
" Ah... Ahhhhhh haa haa I- I am not g- going to... " Qiang again tried to stand up but Xing Tao didn't wait for him this time he simply moved forward and stabbed his sword in Qiang's chest.
" Ughhhhh COUGH COUGH " Qiang coughed out blood as he fell back on the ground he could feel darkness slowly covering his vision.
" Haa haa COUGH COUGH E- Even if I d- die, ahhhh y- you will never be a- able to marry Xiao you f- fucking pig... "
After saying those words with a smile on his face, life disappeared from Qiang's eyes, as his lifeless body lay on the ground.
Everyone including Jayden were surprised by Qiang's tenacity, even while dying he tried to stop the king, Jayden was impressed by him a little, it seemed his love wasn't just his lust, maybe he do truly loved her.
The cheers that should have followed the king's victory didn't come, and even the king's mood dampened a bit he didn't want to kill Qiang but he left no choice, then Xing Tao wondered what Qiang could have meant by his last words.
He returned back to his seat while some people came to carry Qiang's lifeless body away, after which they cleaned the place properly.
" Well that was a bit sad, I believe that true love has no place in this cruel world unless at least you have enough strength. On these words let's call our next participants. "
The announcer tried to change everyone's mood when she saw the serious faces of people in the crowd.
" The next battle is between Hi Mo from the Mountain Fist sect and Tan Qi from the Iron Giant sect. "
" I- I admit defeat " Hi Mo said with his head down, he knew after this event his reputation would be completely ruined after all he forfeited from the battle two times in a row, and now he probably won't receive the same preferential treatment from his sect.
" Sigh, I guess today's matches are bound to make us all disappoint, this one ended fast too making the second prince the winner of this round. " She announced with a disappointed sigh.
The public showed no reaction again to this, all the hype that had been created in the last two months was turning out to be for nought, the prince had an indifferent expression on his face as he turned around and walks back to his seat.
While Hi Mo walks out of the collisium with slumped shoulders, he was cursing his luck and himself for getting in such a bad situation.
" Now all we have remaining is one more match for the first round, Wang Jin from the Divine Sword sect will be fighting Shan Li from the Iron Giant sect, let's cross our fingers and pray that this match gives us some excitement. "
The announcer said and waited for both the participants to come, the Challenger from the Iron Giant sect jumped from his seat and stood in the centre of the ground proudly, then he directed his gaze towards Jayden as if daring him to come and fight him.
He was a man in his mid thirties and was at the 8th stage of the Core Formation realm, and in his eyes Jayden looked to be in the 7th stage of the Core Formation realm.
Jayden stood up and stretched his body, before jumping onto the ground, as he swiftly landed in front of Shan Li, who waited for Jayden to admit defeat.
" Okay then, let the battle begin. " Saying that the announcer moves away from the battle ground, most people could tell that Shan Li is stronger than Wang Jin so they expected this match to end fast too.
"..."
Jayden brought out his purple sword and took a fighting stance, Everyone was amazed by the brilliance that came out of it, even Wang Jia was surprised since she could clearly remember that this sword was red before but now it seemed completely different and somehow more sharper and stronger.
' It was quite strong before too, but now it's on a complete different level. ' Jia thought.
