Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 49 – Fire Burning in the Chest

As Cheng Zihao charged at Li Miaomiao and Xiaozeng with his bodyguard, Dai Xiaoqing and Sharpshooter Teng Ya clashed first!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Sharpshooter Teng Ya moved at high speeds as he released his arrows.

Moving and releasing arrows was a basic skill for the top ten sharpshooters in China. For example, it was impossible for Liu Jianfeng to instantly kill Wang Yi on the first day of the virtual world's launch. This was because these sharpshooters practiced their movement techniques diligently. Those who were ranked at the forefront of the domestic sharpshooters had at least a Lv. 2 movement technique.

Whoosh.

Dai Xiaoqing was very fast since she practiced Lightning Snake Evolution.

Of the five evolutionary methods for women, Fantasy Cat was naturally number one in terms of agility. But in terms of pure speed, Lightning Snake was superior.

At this moment, she was flying at high speeds as she stared at Sharpshooter Teng Ya.

She wasn't inferior to Sharpshooter Teng Ya in a one-on-one battle.

There's not a single person protecting me, thought Sharpshooter Teng Ya to himself. I'll treat it as a form of training when fighting an assassin one-on-one.

Sharpshooter Teng Ya stopped moving, nocked an arrow, and stared at Dai Xiaoqing.

The moment he stopped, the distance between them rapidly shortened—30 meters, 20 meters…

When she was 20 meters away, Sharpshooter Teng Ya instantly shot.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Almost instantly, Sharpshooter Teng Ya shot out three arrows! His hand was like a phantom as he released three consecutive arrows the moment he nocked.

Strafe—this was the ultimate move that made Zhou Yi famous. Nearly all the sharpshooters in China practiced it seriously.

The moment the other party released the arrow, Dai Xiaoqing released her grip and dropped her two sabers. At the same time that her body changed directions, she flung her hands out at lightning speed!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

She struck out with both hands, and in the blink of an eye, six afterimages shot out.

At such close range, Dai Xiaoqing only managed to dodge an arrow. Another arrow tore off her left arm, and a third arrow penetrated her chest.

Meanwhile, Sharpshooter Teng Ya's chest, throat, and head had been penetrated by the flying daggers. The six flying daggers attacked him at close range without any obstructions, so he failed to dodge them as well.

He immediately turned ethereal and dissipated.

I failed to dodge them eventually. Dai Xiaoqing looked at the wound on her chest, and her body turned ethereal. She then looked at Xu Jingming, who was fighting two enemy experts in the distance. Senior Brother, I did my best.

Dai Xiaoqing and Sharpshooter Teng Ya dissipated and left the battlefield.

“Woohoo!”

Cheng Zihao also noticed this clash and was delighted. This was because Xu Jingming's side had two experts while Cheng Zihao's side had three. A two-on-three battle… meant a small probability of things turning awry.

But now that Xu Jingming was injured and was being ganked by two, Cheng Zihao felt that there was no turning back for Xu Jingming. This battle is completely under my control.

“Xu Jingming! I'll deal with an expert like you after I kill Li Miaomiao.” Cheng Zihao laughed and waved his hand. “Ah Yong, cripple that girl for me.”

Xiaozeng was the weakest rookie in the team, having just reached Silver Moon. At this moment, she didn't have the confidence to fire her bow at a fast-moving target.

“Boss, I'll fight it out with them,” Xiaozeng said.

Li Miaomiao had already jumped a few steps back and was completely leaning against the wall.

Boom!

The bodyguard, Ah Yong, had already charged over.

Xiaozeng immediately shot out an arrow, but it landed behind the bodyguard, Ah Yong. Xiaozeng then hurriedly shot out another arrow… However, it missed as well.

Xiaozeng was about to cry.

“Get lost.” Ah Yong charged over and smacked at Xiaozeng. Although the latter dodged, she was still sent flying by the shield.

“How weak.” Cheng Zihao smiled happily, enjoying the anger in Li Miaomiao's eyes.

But on the battlefield, someone was even angrier!

Xu Jingming held his spear and blocked the encirclement of Zheng Bailong and Lei Wenqing with great difficulty. The injury at his waist left him with only 70% of his strength, so blocking became extremely difficult. However, he felt a burning rage—it burned with increasing intensity!

Back then, he had coerced Miaomiao and him. How influential was an Internet megacorporation? Miaomiao had been jolted awake from her nightmares several times, but as a martial arts practitioner, he couldn't do a thing. After all, in reality, he couldn't even defeat the top bodyguard robots in terms of combat strength.

He could only suck it up and return to his hometown with his tail between his legs. Miaomiao also followed him the entire time.

It's the era of the virtual world! Yet, here he was, provoking him!?

“Xu Jingming! I'll deal with an expert like you after I kill Li Miaomiao.” Cheng Zihao's voice rang in Xu Jingming's ears, impacting his heart.

Bang!

Xiaozeng—who was protecting Miaomiao—was sent flying by the shield's impact, leaving the leaning Li Miaomiao to deal with Cheng Zihao and Ah Yong alone.

Xu Jingming felt his chest burn as if it were on fire!

Boom!

This fire instantly seemed to ignite his entire body.

At this moment, he could clearly feel every part of his body boiling. His muscles and bones became very well-defined as each muscle group surfaced in his heart. The pumping blood in his body accelerated, and with a rumble, his blood flowed like a gushing river.

Veins bulged over Xu Jingming's skin, and his blood pumped rapidly, causing them to bulge.

Chi!

Veins bulged on Xu Jingming's forehead, and blood even ruptured from them. It was because the blood was surging too violently and had splattered out of the capillaries.

His eyes were covered in a layer of blood-red.

All Xu Jingming saw was blood-red. At this moment, he felt that the injuries on his waist weren't worth mentioning. All his tendons, bones, and muscles were like soldiers that obediently listened to his commands. With a single order, all his strength erupted.

Strength and speed erupted.

“F*ck off!” Xu Jingming swept his spear as if he wanted to sweep through all obstructions and clear the world of vermin. He then swept his spear forward!

Lei Wenqing's two sabers were about to block and deflect the force, but the moment they made contact, he revealed a look of horror.

Bang!!!

The spear swept past his two sabers, crushing them before sweeping across Lei Wenqing's chest. In an instant, countless bones and muscles were fractured and torn, and Lei Wenqing was sent flying. His entire body exploded in a bloody mist, and he vomited out blood and organ fragments. His entire body then turned ethereal and dissipated from the world.

“What?” Zheng Bailong was stunned. A single swipe from Xu Jingming's spear and Lei Wenqing was pulverized?

Xu Jingming spun his spear and struck at Zheng Bailong like a bolt of lightning.

Clang.

As usual, Zheng Bailong immediately crossed his axes to block, but this time, he felt an oppressive force press down on him, causing him to involuntarily take a step back.

Impossible! Before Zheng Bailong could think further, Xu Jingming swung his spear and stabbed.

Clang.

Zheng Bailong used his two axes like shields. After all, he had received the country's grooming. His ax techniques were nearly perfect, but all he managed was to block one strike after another.

Cleave! Thrust! Crush…

Xu Jingming was extremely ferocious as he unleashed an onslaught.

Zheng Bailong staggered and blocked with difficulty. What's wrong with him? Has he gone crazy?

At this moment, Xu Jingming was indeed abnormal. His skin was dark-red, and his eyes were bloodshot! He indeed didn't appear to be using a technique in a calm state; it was more like an outburst of madness.

“Die!” Xu Jingming felt perfect in an unprecedented manner!

Fire raged in his chest, and his entire body burned as his blood boiled! His entire body's strength completely conformed to his will. All he needed was to will it, and his strength would act! His strength, speed, and even his control of the situation on the field were much greater than in the past.

With his scorching mind, his thoughts spun much faster.

“Pfft.”

The sixth strike against Zheng Bailong stabbed him in the throat, right between his two axes.

“No—” Zheng Bailong held his two axes but failed to block the strike, and he found it unbelievable that the spear had penetrated his throat. Then, his body turned ethereal and disappeared.

“What the hell?” Cheng Zihao was dumbfounded. He had been waiting for Zheng Bailong and the others to seriously injure Xu Jingming so that he could finish the kill.

However, what was going on?

Boom!

Xu Jingming held his spear and charged at Cheng Zihao at full speed.

I'm going to lose this match. Cheng Zihao immediately became cognizant of this. He and his bodyguard, Ah Yong, couldn't block the god-like Xu Jingming.

“It's not a loss to kill one first.” Cheng Zihao charged at Li Miaomiao with his saber.

Li Miaomiao stabbed out, scaring Cheng Zihao into a retreat.

Her sword technique is so impressive; she's still difficult to deal with despite her serious injuries. Cheng Zihao blinked. He was only a Silver Moon after all, so Li Miaomiao's sword technique still gave him a headache.

“Ah Yong, help me quickly,” Cheng Zihao urged. “Let's kill Li Miaomiao together.”

He originally planned on doing it alone, but unfortunately, it seemed like he couldn't do the deed in just two or three moves.

“I'm coming.” The bodyguard, Ah Yong, charged at Li Miaomiao with his shield and ax.

“Protect Boss!” An arrow shot over—it was Sister Kong.

“Sister Kong, I'll leave it up to you.” Xiaozeng's bones and tendons were fractured, and she was seriously injured. She couldn't even stand up, so she could only cheer on Sister Kong.

“Don't worry.” Sister Kong was very confident. She wasn't a rookie like Xiaozeng; she was also a Radiant Sun expert. She wasn't inferior to that bodyguard, Ah Yong.

“Charge.” The bodyguard, Ah Yong, blocked Sister Kong's arrow while Cheng Zihao charged at Li Miaomiao. “We have to kill at least one!”

Boom!

Cheng Zihao sensed something and turned around. A terrifying stream of light flew over and instantly penetrated his body, plunging into his body and pinning him to the wall behind him.

It was a spear!

The spear stabbed through Cheng Zihao's abdomen and into the city wall, leaving him hanging there.
