Chapter 161: Superstar Li Xiaofei
Chapter 161: Superstar Li Xiaofei
This was undoubtedly bad news for Red Flag High School. A dying opponent had managed to take out one of their fully fit members.
Fang Buyi attacked the beastmaster of Hongye High School, He Changzai, with his thunderous staff techniques. He Changzai quickly retreated while raising his arm.
Hiss, hiss.
Two white flashes shot out from his sleeve, darting towards Fang Buyi like lightning. The Silver-Scaled Snow Snakes were the most venomous snakes in the polar environment. They were inherently violent, and their bite could kill instantly. Moreover, they were extremely difficult to tame.
Many medics in high school leagues would kill these venomous snakes, extract the venom from their fangs, and use it to enhance their weapons. Taming two Silver-Scaled Snow Snakes in such a short time, as He Changzai had done, was nearly unbelievable.
Fortunately, Fang Buyi reacted swiftly. His Xuanwu Staff technique formed an impermeable defense. The Silver-Scaled Snow Snakes collided with the staff and bounced away. The collision sounded like iron striking iron.
He Changzai caught the two snakes. Fang Buyi advanced confidently as he pressed He Changzai. But the latter flicked his wrist and the two Silver-Scaled Snow Snakes, infused with starforce qi, stiffened like silver short sticks. They were now He Changzai's weapons to block Fang Buyi’s staff.
Silver-Scaled Snow Snakes: "Is this respectful?"
Clang, clang.
The sound of metal clashing echoed as the two fought fiercely. But He Changzai was constantly on the defensive. His starforce qi had almost been scattered by Li Xiaofei. He had less than half his usual strength, and he couldn't overpower Fang Buyi.
On the other hand, Fang Buyi fought with increasing vigor, as his Xuanwu Staff technique grew more powerful with each clash. He was like a dam storing an ever-increasing amount of water, as the stored power became more astonishing. Each strike was stronger than the last.
This person was not famous before, so why is he so strong?!
He Changzai grew more alarmed as the battle progressed. He had initially wanted a quick victory over Fang Buyi. Unexpectedly, he found himself mired in a prolonged battle.
On the other side. The one-armed Huang Yueru was being besieged by Bai Longfei and Bai Qiqi. Bai Qiqi whistled sharply, and small creatures wriggled out of the snow and swarmed Huang Yueru.
They were Snow Salamanders! These creatures were similar to leeches and thrived in the extreme cold of snowy environments. They often lived in groups. They were not individually strong; however, they had an incredibly strong adhesive ability. Even an elephant would be drained of its essence and blood and die once it was infested by snow salamanders.
Meanwhile, Bai Longfei, clad in heavy armor and wielding two giant axes, hacked away like a madman.
As he slashed, he muttered incessantly, "Chop your dead head, chop your scorpion shoulders, chop your watermelon chest, chop your monkey waist, chop your hippo legs..."
The pain from her severed arm was already excruciating, but her opponent's incessant muttering only fueled Huang Yueru's anger. Still, she moved as gracefully as a dancing butterfly, elegantly evading Bai Longfei's attacks. At the same time, her intact right hand kept throwing thin bone needles at her opponents.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The barely audible sound of the bone needles pierced through the air without interruption. It seemed like Huang Yueru's right hand had an endless supply of bone needles.
But Bai Longfei did not dodge at all. The bone needles embedded themselves in his bear-skin armor, unable to fully penetrate. He looked like a giant, comical porcupine.
"Ah, ah, chop, chop, chop."
He had entered a frenzy. His eyes were bloodshot, veins visible in his pupils.
"Poison catalyst?" Huang Yueru's heart sank.
This weapons specialist from Red Flag High School had taken a potent poison before the battle. It stimulated his physical abilities, starforce, and reaction speed, burning his life force for an extreme boost in power.
This guy is truly mad!
Huang Yueru couldn't help but admire Bai Longfei's resolve. The poison that stimulated life force allowed one to display immense strength in a short time. But it also caused excruciating pain that was akin to being flayed alive. It seemed that he was willing to pay such a price to achieve victory. She could not underestimate Red Flag High School’s desire for victory.
Huang Yueru used her agility to constantly evade her opponents and only occasionally counterattacked. As a weapons specialist, Huang Yueru had exceptional survival skills and top-tier agility. She had relied on her agility to survive many assassination attempts.
But suddenly...
"Ugh."
Bai Longfei spat out a stream of light green blood as he started to shudder. The burning poison had run its course. His body was like a candle burning out.
Huang Yueru's heart leaped with joy as she sped toward Bai Qiqi, who was controlling the beasts.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
She threw her last three bone needles. Bai Qiqi couldn't dodge in time as the bone needles pierced her forehead, left chest, and abdomen. She didn't even have time to make a sound before being instantly deemed dead by the light core, turning into a stream of data and disappearing.
This little girl lacks experience.
But just then...
Bang.
An explosion rang out. Bai Longfei, despite his energy being exhausted, had somehow managed to sneak up behind Huang Yueru and suddenly detonate like a bomb. Bone shards and blood sprayed all over Huang Yueru.
"Trying to take me down with you in death?" said Huang Yueru, wiping the blood off her face.
As a seasoned and experienced warrior, she didn't scream or lose composure like a frightened girl after being splattered with blood. However, she suddenly froze as she found three blood-red lumps on the back of her hand.
The Snow Salamanders. When did this happen? When did three Snow Salamanders attach themselves to the back of my hand?
There's a saying that when you discover a snow salamander on your body, it's likely they have already spread all over you.
Huang Yueru felt a wave of fatigue overwhelm her. She was shocked to see countless tiny, blood-filled lumps on her legs and waist. The Snow Salamanders were gorging on her blood.
How did I not notice them before?
As her body dissolved into a stream of data, Huang Yueru suddenly realized something.
That little girl, she wasn't weak after all.
Bai Qiqi had an exquisite level of beast control. She hadn’t been incapable of dodging those last three bone needles; she had chosen not to dodge. She had used those precious moments before her death to control the Snow Salamanders and have them silently attach themselves to Huang Yueru's body. Meanwhile, Bai Longfei had sacrificed himself to buy time and draw Huang Yueru’s attention.
This was another mutual destruction.
Now, only five people remained on the battlefield. Two from Red Flag High School. Three from Hongye High School. It was no exaggeration to say that the three who had fallen from Red Flag High School had done everything they could.
At that moment, everyone was on the edge of their seats. The supporters of Red Flag High School were filled with hope, seeing a possibility for victory.
The fans of Hongye High School suddenly realized that their victory was not guaranteed. The last two battles were evenly matched, with neither side having a clear advantage.
Who could have imagined that a one-sided battle would develop into this situation? Who had pushed Hongye High School to this extent? It was Li Xiaofei!
After today's battle, regardless of the outcome, one thing could be said— Li Xiaofei was definitely a superstar! He truly deserved the title.
