Chapter 284: Crushing the Demon Eye
The dragonman youngster’s mind was heavily damaged, and for a moment his body swayed, barely able to stand on his feet.
Xiong Ju didn’t take this chance to attack the dragonman youngster.
Because he was also in a terrible state.
He had been miserably suppressed by the dragonman youngster, and now Xiong Ju finally got a pivotal chance to gasp for breath.
He knelt to the ground, leaning on the Gold Flower Hacksaw.
This gold level weapon had become the nightmare of many an enemy of Xiong Ju, but now it had been reduced to a crutch.
Huff, huff, huff…
Xiong Ju’s mouth was wide open, doing his best to breath. He was covered in sweat, his vision was fuzzy, and he felt extremely weak.
After a few seconds, he realized the dragonman youngster had stopped attacking.
He quickly looked for signs of his foe.
In his field of view, he was astonished to discover that the dragonman youngster had stopped moving and was on the verge of collapse.
“What’s going on?” Xiong Ju was puzzled.
When he looked down at his chest, he realized it.
“The Demon eye.”
He had found the Evil Eye popping out of his chest.
“Abominable!” Immense anger leapt from Xiong Ju’s heart.
“It was that damned demon hybrid.”
“He meddled in this heroic duel!”
Xiong Ju’s rage was not aimed at the dragonman youngster, but rather the demon ringleader who had secretly helped him.
Xiong Ju’s grandfather was an immigrant, but his father had lived his entire life in Snow Bird Harbor.
Therefore, don’t be fooled by the fact that Xiong Ju was a beastman, he was actually a wholly indigenous inhabitant of the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
From childhood until now, he had accepted the Ice Sculpture Kingdom’s cultural influence.
Despite not having the money to enter college, he still obtained a cultural upbringing.
Heroic duels were always sacred to him.
To restate: interruptions were fine, but interference was absolutely out of the question.
“He sullied this sacred duel!”
“This guy lent me his demon eye and also concealed his method. Even if I didn’t use it, he could still do so remotely.”
“That shameless reprobate, I will make him pay!”
Xiong Ju’s fury rose.
Then at that moment, a spiritual fluctuation came from the demon eye.
The spiritual fluctuation transmitted into Xiong Ju’s mind.
Xiong Ju heard the demon hybrid’s voice saying, “Xiong Ju, I am helping you!”
The demon ringleader’s tone was quite proud, “Attack now! Long Fu has been hit, he is now at his most vulnerable.”
“Shut up for me.” Xiong Ju bellowed weakly, strong in appearance but weak in reality.
The demon hybrid sensed Xiong Ju’s mood through the demon eye, then after a pause, he quickly replied, “Xiong Ju, now is not the time to show off!”
“You must know that if you lose, the other ringleaders, me included, are not Long Fu’s match.”
“We lent you equipment so you could use it. That means we cannot use them again. If this equipment was used against Long Fu again, others will definitely ridicule us.”
“This will also cause outsides to think: our Bayonet Gang doesn’t have much of a foundation. The ringleaders all had to use their full strength to resist Long Fu.”
“Therefore, you have to win, to thoroughly eliminate Long Fu, and at best kill him! That will restore our Bayonet Gang’s fighting prestige.”
The demon hybrid’s killing intent was leaking.
“So noisy!” Xiong Ju grew even more indignant, letting out a curse.
That brief time allowed him to calm down somewhat.
He was no longer gasping for air and his breathing gradually leveled out.
He also regained some stamina and was able to stand again.
The demon hybrid rang through his mind again.
“Get a move on, Xiong Ju! Long Fu is taking medicine; he is quickly recovering.”
“Wait a minute, I can shoot a second spiritual beam.”
“Long Fu has a weak defense in this respect; this is his weak point and also your chance for victory.”
“You must seize it, as I said last night, the demon eye can only be used three times in a battle.”
“Now there are only two left, and when they are depleted, you won’t have another chance.”
“Grab hold of this chance, and you can win!”
Then a moment later, Xiong Ju suddenly extended his left hand and resolutely thrusted it into his chest.
Plop.
With a pop, blood splattered everywhere.
Xiong Ju tore the demon eye out of his body!
The demon eye’s feelers that had taken root in his flesh were also ruptured by this.
Then Xiong Ju squeezed with his left hand.
The demon eye by itself had weak defenses, and simply couldn’t withstand Xiong Ju’s grip, bursting into a pile of mush in his hand.
Pop!
The moment the demon eye was destroyed, the demon ringleader’s body trembled, and he coughed out a lot of blood.
His mind shook, and he lost control of his body, falling backwards.
Luckily, he had been sitting.
The demon ringleader sat paralyzed in his chair, his eyes rolled white, his tongue lolling out his mouth, and his limbs limp. His mind had been severely damaged, and he sank into unconsciousness.
It was also very unpleasant for Xiong Ju to destroy the demon eye.
The wound in his chest dripped with a great amount of blood.
“It’s finally quiet.” He took a deep breath, grimacing with pain. The pain from the massive wound in his chest caused him to drip with cold sweat.
Xiong Ju fully mobilized his battle qi to seal off the wound, quickly staunching the bleeding.
Soon after, he took out some medicinal power, first sprinkling it on his chest, then swallowing the rest.
The dragonman youngster was also taking medicine.
After the demon eye’s attack, he was barely able to regain some of his mind.
After having the ability to move again, he immediately took Zi Di’s medicine.
His serious spiritual wounds became minor injuries.
The medicine also began to affect his body, improving his spiritual defenses for a short time.
Then, the dragonman youngster saw Xiong Ju pull out the demon eye and crush it.
The dragonman youngster was startled by this, his eyes flashing with understanding, then he looked at Xiong Ju again, with somewhat complex feelings.
Most of the audience were confused about the changes the demon eye had wrought and didn’t know what was happening.
The Bayonet Gang ringleaders knew some of the details and were stupefied by this.
When Teng Dong Lang noticed that Xiong Ju had destroyed the demon eye, his look immediately became downcast.
He was the current Bayonet Gang leader, and he had a deep understanding of his subordinates’ disposition.
At this moment, Teng Dong Lang couldn’t sit quietly, he immediately got up and quietly left his spectator room to make a beeline for the demon ringleader’s room.
Xiong Ju gulped down medicine, as did the dragonman youngster.
The fierce fighting suddenly gave way into a strange contest of who could take more medicine.
This heroic duel really had its twists and turns.
After the dragonman youngster took spirit improvement medicine, he swallowed some healing potions.
The medicinal effect quickly restored his battle qi reserves.
His fierce attacks had come at the cost of severely depleting his battle qi. Even with the Flame Dragon King Bloodline, it couldn’t match the expenditure rate of such ferocity.
Regardless of whether it was Surge, Demolition Fist, or Machine Gun Fist, they all depleted large amounts of battle qi.
Meanwhile, Xiong Ju took out a precious medicinal bottle that contained three pills.
Xiong Ju took out one and swallowed it, not bothering to even chew.
Then, he did something that shocked the audience – he tossed the Gold Flower Hacksaw away.
Teng Dong Lang had arrived at the demon ringleader’s viewing room’s door.
As he was pushing the door open, he saw Xiong Ju eat the pill.
Teng Dong Long felt relieved.
The Gold Flower Hacksaw was very heavy, and such a weapon couldn’t threaten the dragonman youngster, instead it was an encumbrance on Xiong Ju.
The hacksaw was Xiong Ju’s main way of fighting, and his strongest too.
If Xiong Ju stubbornly wallowed in his habits, then he would inevitably lose.
But at this moment, under the dragonman youngster’s pressure, he broke through his ego. He decided to abandon his deepest habits and most confident style of attack.
Xiong Ju raised his fists, his eyes gleaming with resolve.
Next, he decided to use wrestling techniques to continue the fight with the dragonman youngster.
This was undoubtedly the wisest choice!
Compared to the Gold Flower Hacksaw, Xiong Ju’s fists and feet would increase his battle tempo and allow him to contend with the dragonman youngster’s great speed.
“Xiong Ju, you’ve grown.”
“This battle, even if you ultimately lose, will give you immense gains.”
“Remember your choice…”
“It can remake you!”
Teng Dong Lang sighed out a few words, then forced open the door of the viewing room the demon ringleader was in.
The demon ringleader had regained consciousness and was currently healing himself.
The clothes around his chest and chin were stained with blood.
While healing, he harped on, “Xiong Ju, you’re done for!”
“You stupid bear, you dared to crush my eye.”
“I will tell the gang leader; I will make you pay a bitter price!”
“Gang leader?!”
When the demon ringleader saw Teng Dong Long bursting in, he was pleasantly surprised.
He instantly started to complain, “Lord Gang Leader, you should’ve seen…”
“I saw it.” Teng Dong Lang nodded, coming in front of the demon ringleader.
The demon ringleader stopped healing his wounds as he continued to speak, “Xiong Ju doesn’t know what’s good for him, I decided to help him, yet he unexpectedly did this, this…”
Pow.
Teng Dong Lang, with no expression, slapped him with his hand.
The demon ringleader covered his face, and fell onto his seat, foolishly staring up at Teng Dong Lang.
For a moment, he was struck stupid.
Teng Dong Lang’s eyes were ice cold, “You’re the idiot!”
“Behold your folly.”
“Gang, Gang leader, I was also doing it for the Bayonet Gang…” The demon ringleader’s eyes were red.
Teng Dong Lang took a deep breath, retraining the anger in his heart, “You thought you could win with underhanded means? Do you think the thousands of people in front of your eyes you’re defrauding are all idiots?”
“You aren’t even aware the city lord is secretly in attendance!”
“You better get up right now and clean up this place.”
“The dueling arena’s investigators will be coming very soon.”
“If you are investigated, I cannot protect you!”
The demon ringleader knew the seriousness of this.
He couldn’t attend to his aching cheek as he rushed into action, doing his best to tidy up all of the traces in the VIP room.
