Tempest of the Battlefield Chapter 594

Chapter 594

"Very well then . " Wang Tong patted Guan Dongyang's shoulder and said, "I told you there would be rewards . "

Guan Dongyang shook his head helplessly . He should have been more careful while making friends .

On the stage, Xiao Libie waited for his next opponent with an inviting smile . Zambrotta had ordered him to host this competition in order to raise the soldiers' spirit and morale . The large difference in the levels meant the no one would be of a real challenge for him .

"Who else would like come up here and give it a try?" Xiao Libie asked . Seeing that all the soldiers' enthusiasm had been spent, he was about to call it a day .

"Hold on! Someone wants to join the match!"

Someone beside Wang Tong shouted out, and the announcement lit everyone's face up with glee . They were surprised to see that someone else was willing to rise to the challenge .

Xiao Libie was taken aback by the development . He had defeated all the top fighters under his command . Who else would challenge him?

The crowd made way for Guan Dongyang and Wang Tong . Before Guan Dongyang was about to step on to the stage, Wang Tong patted on his shoulder again . Somehow, Guan Dongyang felt that Wang Tong's smile looked like a chuckle .

"My lady, it's the same old . No one can defeat general Xiao . Maybe, you won't get married ever . "

"Shuanger, no one is asking you for your opinion! This tournament was to inspire the soldiers…It has nothing to do with our lady's marriage . He had already defeated all the soldiers who were thirty-five and above . I doubt any younger ones can best him . "

"Phf . . . Even our lady was able to defeat him . Men are useless . "

"Oh? Who is that handsome? He doesn't look like a soldier though . . . Another cannon fodder, I guess . "

"My lady, my lady?"

As soon as Guan Dongyang arrived at the stage, Xiao Libie could immediately feel the power coming off from this seemingly frail frame .

"How can I address you?"

Guan Dongyang mustered as much manliness in his voice as possible and then said, "You can call me brother Guan . I have heard that there will be a plentiful reward if I win, eh? I mean . . . plenty of food, right?"

Xiao Libie smiled faintly and replied, "Indeed . What kind of weapon would you prefer? But, I believe that you are a caster, aren't you?"

"General Xiao has good eyes . You don't think a caster will be worth your time?"

"Of course, you do, please!"

"Please…"

Xiao Libie pointed his long blade at Guan Dongyang . Based on his years of experience on the battlefield, he could tell that his opponent was not just any mastery caster . Close quarter combat was not the mastery caster's strong suit, but the cocksure expression on Mr . Guan's face made Xiao Libie wary . He wouldn't be able to inspire anybody if he was defeated on his own stage .

Guan Dongyang smiled knowingly and folded his hands . Suddenly flames burst out from the tips of his fingers . The sight had rendered every one quiet, and only Guan Dongyang's chanting of the spell could be heard .

Even the lowest level firebolt spell was not easy to pull off . The crowd watched in amazement as the fire danced on his fingers like farriers with fiery wings .

The key in mastering the spells was in controlling the flow of energy instead of the intensity .

Suddenly, Guan Dongyang flicked his ten fingers at once and sent ten firebolts at his opponent . These firebolts increased in speed as soon as they left Guan Dongyang's fingertips . In a blink, they had grown to the size of a bowling ball each .

Xie Libie's face hardened as he knew that he had met a tough opponent . He squeezed the handle of the blade once and channeled his soul energy into it . Instead of dodging the firebolts, he lashed out the blade and attacked the incoming missiles with a swift side arm sweep .

Bang, Bang, Bang!

Xiao Libie deflected the fireballs one after another; every strike carried an immense power that the other soldiers had never seen before .

Guan Dongyang unleashed a few dozen fireball attacks in an instant . Nevertheless, Xiao Libie not only stood his ground unwaveringly, but also sneaked in a couple of soul energy attacks at the caster . Right in front of these soldiers, the two warriors pitted against each other with extraordinary moves .

No one had ever seen a mastery caster stand face to face against a METAL warrior . It was simply unthinkable, particularity when the caster's opponent, General Xiao, was a legendary level veteran .

Soldiers could not tell who had gotten the upper hand . However, their expression seemed to have told a very different situation . In contrast to Guan Dongyang's seemingly casual smirk, Xiao Libie's face was hard as stone . There was something unique about Guan Dongyang's fireball attack . Instead of being deflected upon strike, they exploded right in Xiao Libie's face upon contact with the blade . Xiao Libie could avoid the damage from the fireball, but he could not avoid the splash damage from the explosion . In addition, General Xiao also registered that his opponent was a wielder of the wind element . Although the level of his wind element spell was low, he had used it with such absurdness that it made him look like a pro .

KOM!

Xiao Libie stepped back and gained some distance from his opponent as he charged up his soul energy and GN force . When he had gained enough room, he tightened his back and launched himself forward like a cannonball . This was an improved version of the belligerent dash technique, and it would render Guan Dongyang's fire spells useless .

However, Guan Dongyang didn't seem to have registered the danger as he cast another fire spell: Fire Drake! Seizing the opportunity, General Xiao unleashed the attack he had and roared, "Panorama Blade Sweep!"

The blade suddenly scintillated with a bright aura as it swept across the air to meet the fire drake . The soldiers cheered for their general, but didn't notice the cold smirk on Guan Dongyang's face . The fire drake was sliced into two as the momentum carried the two halves past Xiao Libie . However, these two fiery shapes didn't disappear; instead, they writhed their way back to each other and merged together anew . The head of the serpent turned around and opened its flaming mouth as it bit at general Xiao on the nape of his neck .

KOM!

The attack sent Xiao Libie reeling forward for a dozen feet . His soldiers were stunned by this development .

Wang Tong was amused by this drama . Xiao Libie was a solid warrior, but he was no match against Guan Dongyang by a long chalk . Not even Vorenus was confident in a fight against Guan Dongyang, much less a regular level twenty-two fighter .

However, Wang Tong conceded that Xiao Libie had done a good job so far, particularly when he was using a weapon he was not familiar with .

After the smoke on the stage had dissipated, Xiao Libie stood up with a genuine smile on his face . "What a powerful mastery spell! I bet there is only one person in the world who can master the fire spell to such degree, and his name is Guan Dongyang . "

"I had heard that Brother Xiao's kopesh skill was also brilliant . " Guan Dongyang smiled back . Xiao Libie had thrown away his blade and used his favorite weapon, the kopesh, a sickle-shaped hook .

As the best student of Zambrotta, Xiao Libie was famous for his kopesh skills on the battlefield . His personal weapon was designed and forged by Zambrotta himself . It had twenty-eight precisely placed holes on the back of the blade; their purpose was to modulate and amplify the energy during an attack .

It was particularly effective while fighting against the Zergs, and Xiao Libie kept it only for special occasions, such as this .

Xiao Libie reckoned that the fire drake had split into two not because of his strike, but was actively separated by Guan Dongyang to dodge his attack . Meanwhile, the fire drake was not able to even touch Xiao Libie, since its surprise attack was easily blocked by the kopesh .

"My lady! That is the fire lord Guan Dongyang!" Shuanger remarked excitedly . The entire plaza sizzled with surprise after they had learned the identity of the challenger .

Seeing the indifference in her lady's eyes, Shuanger scratched her head and murmured . "You don't think so? He seems to fit the description . Handsome, kind of cocky . "

Brenda remarked lightly, "Yes, I believe that is him . But, where is the heir of the Blade Warrior? "

"The devil? Wang . . . Wang Tong? That . . . that devil who had killed thousands of dark ones is here?" Shuanger was shocked as she covered her mouth to suppress a gasp .

"My lady . . . are you . . . I mean . . . You won't fancy a murderous butcher, will you?" Shuanger asked as concern flashed in her eyes .
"The devil? Wang . . . Wang Tong? That . . . that devil who had killed thousands of dark ones is here?" Shuanger was shocked as she covered her mouth to suppress a gasp .

"My lady . . . are you . . . I mean . . . You won't fancy a murderous butcher, will you?" Shuanger asked as concern flashed in her eyes .

"He is a hero . Don't talk about him like that . " Brenda rebutted .

Shuanger stuck her tongue out and made a face . "Fine, fine! As you wish my lady . He had killed so many Zergs that I wager he must look like a boorish brute . His portraits could be an overly romanticized image of him . I doubt he is good looking . Anyways, why do you think they are here? "

Brenda smiled faintly and said, "For supplies, perhaps?"

"What? Food?"

"METAL suits, more likely . Regardless of how powerful his men were, no METAL could last forever . Once the METAL suits were done for, the soldiers' lives would be at stake . " Brenda said distractedly as she scanned the crowd for any sign of Wang Tong .

She found him, and he looked exactly the same as his portrait . As the crowd cheered for Guan Dongyang, Wang Tong turned around and smiled back at Brenda .

"Lie Xuan, your husband has just made himself the hotshot of the city . " Wu Lin jested .

"Of course, my man is the best . " Lie Xuan said with a smug smile .

"I am afraid that Wang Tong is behind all this . You need to watch out for that guy . " Xiao Yuyu shook her head and said .

"What a jerk! He would rather impress the strangers than us girls working with him . " Tan Jie complained .

"Touché! I don't think that princess Brenda is any prettier than our chief!" Very well then . Wang Tong patted Guan Dongyangs shoulder and said, I told you there would be rewards . Guan Dongyang shook his head helplessly . He should have been more careful while making friends . On the stage, Xiao Libie waited for his next opponent with an inviting smile .
