I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 31: Deathmatch 2

Seeing that he had entered his optimal fighting range, Gu Li no longer hesitated and went all out in an instant!

Visible bulging veins popped out on his neck and face, while his body looked as if small snakes were crawling over it, which was quite eerie.

The drug greatly enhanced Gu Li's explosive power. His legs suddenly thickened substantially, cracking the green bricks beneath his feet as if he were a cannonball hurtling towards his opponent.

Amidst the shrill howling, the Butterfly Twin Blades stabbed straight towards the delicate and lustrous neck of the young girl!

And just at that moment, the Great Lance in Liao Ya's hands suddenly quivered!

The body of the lance vibrated violently, with the tip thirsting for blood, turning the entire Great Lance into a Black Dragon unwilling to be tamed!

The next second, a pair of fair and delicate hands tightly gripped and subdued it!

Liao Ya mobilized her internal organs, exhaling loudly as a thunderous rumble came from her mouth and nose, thrusting her spear straight forward!

The force was so powerful that it shattered the green bricks, with a speed so swift that even Lu Yao, in his meditative state, could only barely catch a glimpse of a red tassel—this was from the rotating head of the spear!

A glint of cold light arrived first—then the spear lunged forward like a dragon! The two figures crossed paths, the visible aura scattering and shattering into a strong wind that blew towards the spectators, who hastily covered their hats with their hands.

As the dust settled, everyone saw—

Liao Ya's shoulder was torn open, with only a small hole in her clothes but no damage to the flesh; there were also a few strands of hair sheared off by the blade, fluttering in the wind.

But Gu Li... everything above his jaw had vanished!

His body, propelled by momentum, took three steps forward, then dropped to the ground like a piece of wood.

Half a head tumbled countless times in the air before landing on the platform, then bounced a few times and rolled to the feet of the guests, eliciting bursts of gasps. The open eyes of Gu Li—who died with resentment—were faintly visible.

"Good!!"

"Bravo!!"

Thunderous applause and shouts of praise erupted, as the audience finally realized the outcome had been decided, exclaiming:

"One spear thrust sheared off half a head, so fast! So ruthless!"

"Is this Organ Refining? It almost looks like marrow cleaning! How could Yunzhou have such a person!?"

"Mr. Liao's daughter, a true heir to the family legacy!"

Over by the main seat on the east side of the Four Seas Tower.

Sun Haoran's expression was indifferent as he tightly grasped the arms of his Taishi Chair, watching as the tavern staff carried away Gu Li's body.

Beside him, Duan Pei clicked his tongue in wonder, "The spear thrust struck after launching but before lightning, truly spectacular! Sun Haoran~, to have a martial master die in such a public place, it's quite embarrassing for your martial hall, isn't it?"

Sun Haoran glanced coldly at the man and said, "Duan Pei, I hear your son has returned from studying in the Imperial City, and I am quite curious to meet such a talent."

The blatant threat involving family members immediately darkened Duan Pei's face, and the atmosphere between the two was not good.

"Enough already. We're both too old for this; don't make others laugh at our expense."

These words came from the third witness, who had been silent until now—Master Pang.

He was an elder in his sixties, with long white whiskers, wearing a silk jacket, emanating a peaceful demeanor, more like a wealthy gentleman than a master.

Master Pang slowly said, "This move is called 'Sombre Dragon Clasping Grief,' the Liao Family must have some connection with the Xiao Family from the capital."

~~~~~~~

Liao Ya returned, and Lu Yao gave her a thumbs-up in continued admiration, "Sister~, you were amazing!"

The beautiful girl's one-strike kill was a delightful sight~

Liao Ya smiled gracefully, then raised her hands to touch her sister's soft and tender face, "Give it your best, be careful!"

"I know, don't worry, sister," Liao Qe rubbed her sister's hand, advancing towards the platform.

~~~~~~~~

Both contestants ascended the platform at the same time.

Liao Qi assumed a stance, squatting slightly, her entire figure like a taut, drawn bow.

Her opponent's sallow face had an abnormal flush, and his lifeless eyes bulged with excitement, as if he were in some kind of exhilarated state.

He also bellowed with a lolling tongue, "You daughter of a bitch from the Liao Family! Your father destroyed a hundred thousand catties of opium back in the day, a hundred thousand catties! He caused all the opium dens across the country to close for three days, what a bloody beast! Beast!"

As soon as his words ended, his chest puffed up, a muffled sound came from his mouth and nose, and he transformed into an out-of-control car charging at Liao Qi!

An observer exclaimed in surprise, "This is a martial master who has failed Organ Refining! He can temporarily burst forth with the power of the Organ Refining Realm!"

The opponent suddenly erupted, but Liao Qi showed no fear, raising her long, toned leg and delivering an upward whip kick on the spot!

With a "bang," her kick, full of bone-penetrating strength, was much more formidable than the sallow-faced man's, who certainly didn't want his head kicked to pieces, hurriedly raised his hand to block.

But with a "crack," the grating sound of his arm snapping off was heard—it had been directly kicked to pieces!

Having disabled one hand of her enemy, Liao Qi showed no mercy as she followed up with a fierce combination of punches to his chest, sending him flying sideways.

Although the man was at the "half-step Organ Refining" level, Liao Qi, with the opulent methods provided by Lu Yao, completely overpowered him in physical fitness!

Her fluid movements earned rounds of applause:

"Excellent kung fu! This girl has a solid foundation; it's obvious she has been training hard since a young age!"

"Her punches and kicks are forceful and heavy, her bones as hard as iron. She easily broke her opponent's bones. This young lady must have eaten a lot of good stuff."

After their commentary, everyone thought the match had ended. Liao Qi also turned her head to look at her sister, celebrating the victory.

Just then, the sallow-faced man who had fallen rose to his feet, ignoring the severe pain of his broken arm, and charged madly at the girl who had turned her back to him!

Liao Qi was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected this man to still be able to move after such serious injuries.

None of the onlookers were ordinary people, and those with broad knowledge immediately explained to those around them, "This man has numbed his body with drugs; he no longer feels anything."

~~~~~~~~~

The sallow-faced man looked at Liao Qi with eyes full of resentment.

Depressed by his failure in Organ Refining, he tried Worry-Free Smoke on a friend's strong recommendation but never expected to become hopelessly addicted and plummet into a downward spiral.

Ever since, he harbored a particular hatred for these talented young individuals.

His chest swelled up again as he forcibly stimulated his Organ Refining energy, blood seeping from his mouth and nose. Leveraging the burst of power, he lunged forward, attacking Liao Qi like a mad dog with hands and teeth, all while screaming, "The heavens are unjust! They made me this monstrous mess! I loathe it!"

Without the sensation of pain and recklessly fearless, he indeed was troublesome to deal with, but, unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great.

Liao Qi remained completely unflustered, her arms drawing circles outward to block all his attacks while using her elbows to strike back—

Her elbow struck his chest, and with a fluid motion, she brought her palms together like a blade to smash his throat, the movement bearing a resemblance to Wing Chun.

Having suffered a fatal blow, the sallow-faced man let out a choking sound. But regardless of himself, he still attempted to attack Liao Qi.

Liao Qi leapt up fiercely, her knees like two large iron hammers, ruthlessly pounding the man's chest!

Amid the ear-piercing sound of breaking bones, the sallow-faced man's chest cavity shattered as he was sent flying backward, his eyes quickly dimming, falling like a lump of flesh outside the ring.

In his last moments, the resentment in his eyes seemed almost tangible. He violently opened his mouth and sprayed a stream of filthy blood towards Liao Qi, fanning out toward her.

This vile bloody mist reeked, disgusting and repulsive, the result of years of opium accumulating in his lungs. Contact with it would mean a dual assault of chemical and psychological impact.

The girl, who prized cleanliness, dared not let a single drop touch her and dodged far away with a graceful Carp Stance.

The sallow-faced man died on the spot with an expression of madness and resentment, unable to accept his fate.
