Volume 10 Chapter 87
Jin Kun's sword was extremely fast, and each of his swords was aimed at Li Tong's vital points. The latter did not draw his sword or fight back, but just took three steps back and dodged the three swords swung by Jin Kun one by one.
Thinking that the opponent had no power to fight back after being hit by his fast sword, Jin Kun's sword was more urgent and fierce, and the cold light flashed back and forth. He attacked more than ten swords in one breath.
Li Tong still did not fight back or block, but only moved left and right with his agile body. When Jin Kun finished attacking more than ten swords, the gap between the front force and the back force was insufficient, Li Tong's body suddenly became empty, and he flashed behind Jin Kun with shadow drift. When he reappeared, he had covered himself with black spiritual armor and had a shining spiritual knife in his hand.
The knife stabbed silently and went straight to Jin Kun's back. Jin Kun heard that there was a bad wind behind him, and his heart was shocked. He subconsciously shouted, used all his strength, turned around and swung a sword.
Clang clang!
The spirit sword hit the spirit knife accurately, sparks flew high, and Li Tong's vicious knife was also knocked off.
"Boy, don't run if you have the guts!" Jin Kun was not used to the fighting style of the dark spiritual cultivators. While shouting angrily, he launched a sharp quick attack on Li Tong.
But Li Tong did not fight him, nor did he accept his provocation. He still fought mainly in a mobile way, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, his body movements were floating and appearing and disappearing. It didn't take long for Jin Kun to feel dizzy.
Knowing that he would suffer a great loss if he continued to fight like this, Jin Kun changed his mind and used the wind-splitting clone technique, so that the opponent could not tell which was his real body and which was his clone.
However, although his Wind Split Clone Technique did a certain job of confusing the opponent, it also gave Li Tong more room to display his skills. As more than ten clones of Jin Kun appeared on the ring, Li Tong used Shadow Drift more frequently, appearing behind each clone from time to time to avoid Jin Kun's sight.
Jin Kun used the Wind Split Clone Technique to confuse his opponent, but he was confused by his opponent instead. Wherever he looked, he saw his clones, and where was the opponent's figure? He was furious and had no choice but to put away the Wind Split Clone Technique and fight Li Tong again.
The fight on the ring continued. From beginning to end, Jin Kun took the initiative and took the initiative to attack, while Li Tong was always in a passive position and wandered around. However, the actual situation was completely the opposite. After fighting for so long, Li Tong didn't feel anything, but Jin Kun was tired and sweaty, panting, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.
If the fight continued like this, Jin Kun would not be able to hurt Li Tong, and he would be exhausted to death first. He knew it in his heart, but he was helpless against the opponent. In the end, Jin Kun, who was so angry that he didn't care about the taboos of fighting against dark spiritualists, tried his best, and used spiritual skills continuously, just thinking about killing Li Tong with one blow.
This is what Li Tong wants to see most. No matter how powerful the spiritual skills are, they are not a big threat to dark spiritualists with shadow drift. On the contrary, the person who releases the skills can easily exhaust his spiritual energy first.
As Jin Kun changed his tactics, the situation on the ring suddenly changed, as if a typhoon had been hung, with sand and rocks flying, covering the sky and blocking the sun, strong winds whistling, and spiritual blades and spiritual thorns flying all over the sky. Jin Kun released five or six top skills in a row around him, including Spirit Chaos·Extreme, Soul Chasing·Extreme, Cross Slash·Extreme, etc. Except for where he was, there was no intact place on the ring. The wooden boards on the ground were scratched by the spirit blades and pierced by the spirit thorns...
After the strong wind passed, people looked at the ring again. Apart from Jin Kun fighting in the middle, there was no trace of Li Tong. There was not even a broken body on the ground. Could it be that Li Tong was beaten to death by Jin Kun's series of spirit martial arts skills? People rubbed their eyes hard and carefully checked the ring. Apart from Jin Kun, there was indeed no one else.
After a two-second pause, there was a loud cheer from the audience. No matter whether Li Tong was dead or alive, he was not on the stage now. According to the rules, he lost.
Jin Kun, who had almost exhausted his spiritual energy, breathed a sigh of relief as the cheers from the audience rang out. He finally defeated this difficult dark spiritual practitioner.
His tense nerves had just relaxed when someone in the stands behind him shouted, "Master Jin, be careful..." As soon as the words fell, Jin Kun hadn't reacted to what was happening. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his back, and then a sharp pain came from his chest, and the strength in his body began to drain rapidly.
He slowly lowered his head and saw a four-inch-long knife tip sticking out from his chest, Li Tong's magic knife.
The cheers from the audience stopped abruptly, and people stared at the stage with wide eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and even forgot to breathe. Jin Kun was still standing on the stage, but someone suddenly appeared behind him. It was Li Tong who had just disappeared on the stage. His magic knife entered Jin Kun's back and came out from his front. Blood was dripping from the blade to the ground.
"You have been knocked off the stage, and now you come up to attack and hurt people. Shameless and despicable!"
"Shameless villain!"
The people who reacted shouted angrily.
Li Tong seemed to have heard nothing, and without even looking at the people in the audience, he raised his leg and kicked the body hanging on the magic knife away, then shook off the blood on the knife, sheathed it, and then stood with his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky as if nothing had happened.
"Get out of here, villain! Get out of here——"
The rangers in the audience were furious and roared at Li Tong on the stage.
At this time, someone stood up on the stands of Baihui Hall and waved his hand at the shouting rangers.
Seeing this person, the shouting of the rangers stopped instantly. This person was none other than Zhou Kuan, the head of Baihui Hall.
He walked to the edge of the stands, his eyes flashing with brilliance, staring at Li Tong in the center of the ring without blinking. After a long time, as if it was a century, Zhou Kuan slowly retracted his gaze, shook his head, and said: "This friend did not cheat, and he was indeed not knocked off the ring just now. It was the negligence of the head of Jin Hall."
If someone else said this, it would only lead to more intense shouting and cursing from the rangers, but it was Zhou Kuan who said this, and everyone was stunned. Jin Kun was from Baihui Hall, and Zhou Kuan could not help but speak for his people, not to mention that Jin Kun died so miserably, but he clearly did not see Li Tong on the ring just now, so why did Zhou Kuan say he was there?
In fact, it was very simple. When Jin Kun was frantically releasing his spiritual martial arts skills, Li Tong immediately dodged with Shadow Drift. He dodged to the side and back of the ring, grabbed the edge of the ring with one hand, and stepped on the earth pit on the wall with his feet. He stuck to the wall like a gecko, and he really didn't fall off the ring. If you look from the front, you can't see Li Tong at all, but the stands on both sides and the back of the ring can see everything clearly.
If Jin Kun didn't consume so much spiritual energy, he would be able to feel Li Tong's presence with the spiritual pressure he exuded, but he consumed his spiritual energy to the point of exhaustion, and the cheers from the audience had already started, which greatly confused Jin Kun and made him think he had won, which allowed Li Tong to sneak attack and kill him with one blow.
Zhou Kuan also admired Li Tong's spiritual martial arts skills and adaptability, but he couldn't let go of his cruelty. He could have stopped at that point and hurt Jin Kun, but why did he have to take his life?
This can be said to be because Li Tong was too hateful. Of course, it can also be said that he is used to it. When doing things in secret, he will not leave anyone alive. Killing with one blow and leaving no room for maneuver is the usual method of secret arrows.
As Zhou Kuan took the initiative to clarify for Li Tong, Zhang Dong also stood up to explain in detail why people did not see Li Tong on the ring just now.
After he finished speaking, people understood what was going on. They looked at each other and were speechless in the end.
It can be said that Li Tong won this match too beautifully. It was not only a battle of courage, but also a battle of wits. However, his attack was too vicious, and he was arrogant. Standing on the ring, he never looked at the people below the stage from beginning to end, which made people feel disgusted.
Tang Yin was extremely satisfied with Li Tong's performance. He felt that he could not only watch the excitement in this competition, but also discover talents. He asked Cheng Jin beside him: "What is the background of this Li Tong?"
"He is from Nanpin County, Fuchuan County. His father died early in the battle with Ning Army. He has no wife or children. He has three elder brothers, two of whom died in the battle of Hedong." Cheng Jin answered truthfully.
"So he is the descendant of a hero." Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully.
"Not only that, he is a disciple of Gui Yuan, and he practices the orthodox dark spirit martial arts." Cheng Jin unconsciously revealed his admiration when he spoke. Gui Yuan is a legendary figure in the Feng Kingdom Ranger World. He has reached the pinnacle of dark spirit martial arts and is one of the openly orthodox in the dark spirit martial arts world.
Tang Yin nodded while listening, and said half-jokingly: "After returning to the capital, please invite Li Tong's master to our Lingwu Academy. If the dark spirit practitioners trained by Lingwu Academy can be as good as Li Tong, then the world will be in my pocket..."
Cheng Jin was shocked when he heard this, not because Tang Yin wanted to invite Gui Yuan, but because of the second half of his sentence.
Tang Yin also realized that his words were not appropriate. He chuckled and said, "I was just joking."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Cheng Jin nodded repeatedly, not daring to say more.
Up to now, Tang Yin has not remembered anyone else in the competition, but he is impressed by Li Tong. On the other hand, Li Tong's intention to actively seek performance has been achieved.
He killed Jin Kun, and the people of Baihuitang were not willing to give up. As soon as Jin Kun's body was carried away, another branch leader of Baihuitang, Liu Peng, stepped onto the stage and fought with Li Tong.
Li Tong still used the tactics of the mobile fight, not fighting head-on with the opponent, focusing on preserving his physical strength and spiritual energy. The two fought back and forth for more than fifty rounds. Liu Peng gradually lost his strength. Li Tong saw the opportunity and launched a counterattack. This was the first time he took the initiative to attack. His attack was so fierce that it was not just a fast word.
