Chapter 79

Xiao Bing's recent move was surprisingly blocked by this person using hidden weapons, which also shocked him. However, any possibility was already within Xiao Bing's expectations. When Zhu Mingyu focused all his attention on the sand and stones that were surging towards him, Xiao Bing had already reached in front of Zhu Mingyu and kicked towards his chest with a speed that was too fast to be covered by the ear. Xiao Bing was confident that this kick would end the battle.

However, it was unexpected that Zhu Mingyu seemed to have foreseen it, and slightly sidestepped to avoid it. Only the sole of the shoe lightly grazed Zhu Mingyu's chest, tearing his shirt and leaving a blood trail on his chest. The onlookers were already screaming in excitement, and the situation seemed to be in Zhu Mingyu's favor. Most people thought Zhu Mingyu had suffered a significant loss, but the true experts knew that despite Xiao Bing's meticulously planned attack, Zhu Mingyu had still managed to dodge the critical points, putting Xiao Bing at a disadvantage.

Xiao Bing's heart sank. If this attack could not kill or severely injure Zhu Mingyu, the situation would become dire, especially since he was already dealing with an injured arm. How could he possibly gain the upper hand against Zhu Mingyu?

After gaining a slight advantage, Xiao Bing did not stop his attack. His body continuously appeared in front, behind, and on both sides of Zhu Mingyu, as if shadows of Xiao Bing were everywhere. However, every punch and kick was anticipated by Zhu Mingyu and blocked in time. To the onlookers, Xiao Bing's attacks were as fast as lightning, dazzling and overwhelming, but they could not break through Zhu Mingyu's defense.

Xiao Bing became increasingly alarmed as he fought. Although his true strength, explosive power, and other aspects were at the mid-level of hidden strength, his techniques and experience remained intact. Despite this, every move, no matter how cunning or unexpected, was anticipated by Zhu Mingyu as if he had eyes in the back of his head. Even someone with a basic understanding of martial arts, like Ye Zi, could see the dire situation.

Zhu Mingyu seized the opportunity and kicked Xiao Bing in the chest, causing him to spew a large mouthful of blood and fly out.

Ye Zi stood up abruptly, her face pale. Erhuo also stood up, even trying to rush into the arena, shouting, "Damn it, I'll go help!"

Ye Zi grabbed Erhuo's arm, shouting hysterically, "Brother Bing doesn't need you to cause trouble!"

Ye Zi's voice was hysterical, piercing the silence of the arena. The crowd, which had been quiet, was now drawn to her. Her face was pale, her lips were bleeding from biting, her eyes were red, and her body was trembling. Tears streamed down her face, but her gaze was resolute and determined. She looked at the fallen Xiao Bing and shouted, "Xiao Bing, listen to me! I'll sit here and wait for you, I won't go anywhere! If you die, I'll go with you! If you die, you'll be two lives for one!"

Ye Bancheng's hand, holding a cigar, trembled, and the cigar fell to the ground. Ye Xinyi looked at her father and said, "Dad, should we let Uncle Lei take her back? This is embarrassing."

Ye Bancheng did not look at Ye Xinyi but at his daughter Ye Zi, sighing heavily and muttering to himself, "This is my daughter, Ye Bancheng."

Ye Xinyi looked at her father, then at the tearful Ye Zi, clenching her fists.

Xiao Bing, hearing Ye Zi's words, struggled to get up from the ground, smiled at Ye Zi, and then looked at Zhu Mingyu with a fierce expression, asking, "How did you do it?"

Zhu Mingyu walked step by step towards Xiao Bing and said calmly, "Are you asking how I defended against your attacks? I am indeed blind, but when I kill, I don't use my eyes or ears; I use my heart. Since the day I lost my sight, my heart has been dead. Nothing in this world can affect me, so I can see everything around me clearly without using my eyes. It's a 360-degree defense without any blind spots."

Zhu Mingyu said coldly, "I am at the peak of hidden strength, but my intuition is even beyond that of a transformation strength expert. I don't need to use my eyes to see, and I have a 360-degree defense without any blind spots. I have the most impenetrable defense in the world. I have just experienced your full strength. You are at the mid-level of hidden strength. Although your attack techniques may be superior to those of a transformation strength expert, your strength is still inferior to mine, and your arm is injured. You cannot break through my absolute defense. How can you win? How can you kill me?"

Zhu Mingyu stopped about three to four meters in front of Xiao Bing and said coldly, "So, you must die today!"

Zhu Mingyu 'looked' at Xiao Bing and asked coldly, "Before you die, I have a question for you. Why did you risk entering the arena with an injured right arm? Didn't you think about this outcome?"

Xiao Bing coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. Zhu Mingyu's kick had been heavy, and his abdomen still ached, but the current situation made him forget the pain. He first looked at the VIP area where the Peony Fairy was sitting, then at Zhu Mingyu, and said, "No matter who it is, doing wrong must be paid for. Zhang Gui is dead, and Sakura is dead. Why are you still alive?"

Zhu Mingyu said coldly, "They are just two unknowns."

Xiao Bing sneered, "But in my eyes, their lives are more important and noble than yours. Their unwavering love proves that they are the ones who should live."

"Love?" Zhu Mingyu suddenly shouted loudly, "Don't you find it laughable?"

"What's so laughable?" Xiao Bing's pupils narrowed, a glint of light appearing in his eyes, and a cold smile on his lips. "Your absolute defense is not absolute. You cannot achieve a calm mind. You don't rely on your eyes or ears but on your heart. If your mind is not calm, how can you defend? Do you have a woman you love? You stepped in to fight for the Peony Fairy without a word. You like that venomous woman, don't you?"

As Zhu Mingyu shouted, a black shadow flashed, and Xiao Bing's dagger stabbed directly at Zhu Mingyu's chest. Zhu Mingyu only managed to slightly sidestep, exposing his left shoulder to Xiao Bing. At the same time, Zhu Mingyu also held a dagger and stabbed Xiao Bing's right shoulder. Both were hit, and as they pulled out their daggers, blood splattered on the ground. Xiao Bing's lips curled into a fierce smile.

Bao Lei, who was watching intently, remarked, "Xiao Bing is very smart. His right shoulder was already injured. He first provoked Zhu Mingyu with words, and when Zhu Mingyu's mind was in chaos, he seized the opportunity to act. Even if he didn't think he could kill Zhu Mingyu, he used his already injured right arm to exchange for Zhu Mingyu's left arm. Now it's more interesting..."

Erhuo said, "I don't understand. Even so, isn't Brother Bing at a disadvantage? He was just hit by a kick, and that guy has some kind of defense."

Bao Lei explained, "Zhu Mingyu's so-called absolute defense relies on his calm mind. Being blind has made him more sensitive to his surroundings through his heart, allowing him to achieve a 360-degree defense, which is even more terrifying than using his eyes or ears. Zhu Mingyu is a rare talent in martial arts. However, with one arm lost, it's like a door is half-open, making it impossible to maintain the automatic defense. Although Xiao Bing may not win, he has at least broken through Zhu Mingyu's absolute defense."

Ye Zi wiped away her tears and continued to watch the scene intently.

Lord Hou muttered to himself, "Brave and strategic, this Xiao Bing is no ordinary person."

Zhu Mingyu, holding his injured wound, said with a grim face, "You are very cunning!"

Xiao Bing's eyes never left Zhu Mingyu, searching for any weakness in his body, and said calmly, "In a battle between experts, it's a contest of technique, strength, and mental fortitude. How can it be called cunning?"

Zhu Mingyu said with a grim face, "Do you think you can win me like this?"

"Without trying, how would you know?" Both of them rushed towards each other like arrows, each having lost one arm. One used his left hand, the other his right, both holding daggers. The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying filled the air as they fought from the center of the arena to the left and then to the right, neither giving in.

The tall man behind Lord Hou suddenly said, puzzled, "Xiao Bing's strength should be at the mid-level of hidden strength. How can he fight Zhu Mingyu, who is at the peak of hidden strength, on equal terms?"

Lord Hou also showed a curious expression.

The fight became more intense, and finally, both of their daggers were knocked out of their hands. They then both struck each other with their remaining hands. When their palms met, Zhu Mingyu used all his strength, determined to kill Xiao Bing. The Peony Fairy also breathed a sigh of relief. In a hard clash, Xiao Bing would not stand a chance against Zhu Mingyu. From the previous observation, everyone could see that Xiao Bing's strength was about one level lower than Zhu Mingyu's.

However, something that stunned everyone happened. Both of them stepped back, Xiao Bing spitting out a mouthful of blood, and Zhu Mingyu also spitting out blood, not gaining any advantage. Zhu Mingyu shouted in surprise, "You are not at the mid-level of hidden strength? How can this be?"

Xiao Bing pounced like a fierce tiger, colliding with Zhu Mingyu and using his head to bash Zhu Mingyu's face, causing it to bleed. He then struck Zhu Mingyu with a palm, the hidden strength penetrating through his palm into his body, shattering his internal organs.

With the hidden strength released, Zhu Mingyu died!

"You will never know, go to hell!"

Zhu Mingyu flew out like a broken kite, landing heavily on the ground. He struggled to get up but was bleeding from all seven orifices. He lifted his head, though he could see nothing, he still looked towards where the Peony Fairy was sitting. The Peony Fairy had already stood up, watching Zhu Mingyu open his mouth. From his mouth movements, it seemed he was saying, "I love you, live on..."

Xiao Bing, using all his strength, panted heavily as he sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The Peony Fairy was trembling, shaking violently. A few tears dripped through her veil. Everyone knew that the Peony Fairy hated men, and countless men's heads had been cut off by her. Even the people of Beizhuang thought Zhu Mingyu was just a toy for the Peony Fairy. No one would have thought that the Peony Fairy would cry, and cry for a man.

She raised her hand high and brought it down heavily. Countless thugs rushed towards Xiao Bing, all of them belonging to Beitianwang, a vast and endless sea of people...
