Chapter 245: The Ambush
Chapter 245: The Ambush
If one were to describe Lu HaiKong's strength before unlocking 'Purple Aura Ascends', it would be around 73 in terms of strength, with a combat power close to that of an 80-strength warrior.
But the moment Lu HaiKong unlocked 'Purple Aura Ascends', his actual combat power directly soared to a level normally only achievable by an 80-strength warrior.
The group of Huns before Lu HaiKong were mostly around 70 in strength, which was quite normal. It's worth noting that in a tribe with a population of over 50,000 like the Hu Yin Tribe, there were only a few individuals with a strength above 70. Facing such opponents, Lu HaiKong's burst of power was simply unstoppable.
'Purple Aura Ascends' amplified Lu HaiKong's strength, speed, and burst, making attacks that they could have easily dodged before now much harder to evade.
With a burst of power, Lu HaiKong directly killed the first warrior of the Lan Clan who was about to ambush him. The sudden loss shocked the remaining five warriors, and they instinctively backed away from Lu HaiKong.
"Be careful, everyone. Don't let him get close. This kind of burst secret technique usually doesn't last long. As long as we can hold on, victory will eventually be ours."
At this critical moment, the five warriors didn't have time to think about their usual tribal rivalries. They had only one thought in mind: to survive in front of this demon-like figure.
As long as they kept their distance, they could survive.
This was the natural thought of everyone, but was it possible? Could Lu HaiKong be so easily avoided in this situation?
Lu HaiKong's eyes flashed with purple light, and he pounced forward, charging at the first warrior of the Lan Clan.
"Come on, let's see how powerful you really are."
The first warrior of the Lan Clan intended to dodge, but Lu HaiKong's speed was too fast. He had no choice but to face Lu HaiKong head-on, swinging his curved saber.
He knew he was going to die, but his honor wouldn't allow him to die in such a disgraceful manner. So, he chose the most direct approach.
Lu HaiKong's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration: "A brave man!"
But the force of the Wilderness Axe in Lu HaiKong's hand didn't lessen at all. Lu HaiKong couldn't reduce it, and facing such an opponent, giving him a powerful offense was a sign of respect.
"Ding!"
As expected, the first warrior's curved saber was knocked away, but surprisingly, he remained unharmed. The reason was that although Lu HaiKong had used all his strength, he had held back a bit, sparing the Han warrior's life.
"I admire those who dare to face life and death." Lu HaiKong said, explaining why he didn't kill the Han warrior.
The first warrior of the Lan Clan was stunned for a moment, then bowed to Lu HaiKong before leaving the arena.
This scene made the Huns, who were originally immersed in fear and awe of Lu HaiKong's terrifying strength, breathe a sigh of relief. It turned out that this Han warrior wasn't a merciless demon who killed without blinking.
By now, Lu HaiKong had almost no need to rely on these warriors to break through his Basic Axe Technique. These warriors were even weaker than he had anticipated.
It wasn't that their combat power was truly lacking, but that they couldn't unite as a force. They constantly repelled each other, and even under Lu HaiKong's terrifying pressure, they couldn't effectively join forces.
With only four enemies left, it was even less likely for them to become Lu HaiKong's opponents, let alone put any pressure on him."
"None of you are my match, so just get off the stage. I've lost interest in this tournament," Lu HaiKong declared, looking at the four people before him.
Upon hearing Lu HaiKong's words, the remaining four exchanged glances, their faces showing a mix of shame and relief. Although they couldn't defeat this man, at least they survived to the end, didn't they?
The four looked at each other, each wearing a bitter smile. Almost simultaneously, they turned to leave the stage. But just as the last three were about to step off, one of them suddenly spun around, slightly raising his hand towards Lu HaiKong, and a faint sound of breaking the air rang out.
Immediately, a small, exquisite crossbow bolt shot towards Lu HaiKong's chest. It was too sudden, and Lu HaiKong didn't notice it at all. As a result, he was hit by the bolt.
"Didn't expect that, did you, Han person?" He SuiMeng revealed a triumphant smile.
"This crossbow bolt was bought from you Han people. The arrow is coated with poison; even a bull would die if grazed by it."
Lu HaiKong finally understood why QiQiGe had warned him to be careful around this person. It wasn't because of his strength, but because this Hun was simply too despicable.
His actions were so underhanded that even his fellow Huns couldn't bear to watch.
"Now that this Han person is hit by my arrow, he's as good as dead. And since you left the stage and abandoned the tournament, I, He SuiMeng, am the victor of this match! QiQiGe will be mine!" He SuiMeng exuded confidence.
In the 1619th chapter, a look at the wrong version!
He couldn't help but feel triumphant. Facing a formidable opponent like Lu HaiKong, he had managed to secure the final victory. How could he not feel elated?
All the Huns present looked at He SuiMeng with disdain, but no one spoke up. One reason was He SuiMeng's formidable strength, and another was that Lu HaiKong was, after all, a Han person. No one would stand up for a Han and seek justice.
No, there was one person. As He SuiMeng basked in his triumph, a clear voice rang out.
"Who told you that you've won this tournament? Don't you know that there's one more round to go?"
The crowd parted, and Yun QiQiGe emerged with graceful and awe-inspiring strides, her curved saber already drawn.
At this sight, He SuiMeng's face darkened. Yun QiQiGe's martial prowess was widely acknowledged, and he knew he wasn't her match. However, he didn't feel too dejected.
"I knew you wouldn't fall for this so easily, woman. I knew you'd make a move like this in the final round. Do you think I'd be unprepared for such a situation?"
He SuiMeng narrowed his eyes and, right in front of Yun QiQiGe, took out a refined crossbow, reloaded it, and aimed it at her. "Now, make your choice. Do you want to be my woman or a dead woman?"
QiQiGe's face showed no fear. "Do you think you can hit me when I'm prepared? And don't forget, this is the Wuyun Tribe. Do you think I'll let you leave this place alive?"
Hearing this, a strange smile appeared on He SuiMeng's face. "I don't believe you!"
