At this point, Bai Yexing was basically covered in wounds. Both his arms were gone, and blood was streaming out of his shoulder. He could die because of losing too much blood, but he did not make a sound. He pressed on toward the mystical beast silently while the latter whined piteously and backed off, limping with its only leg and soon forced into a corner. Standing there, it finally bared its teeth and threw itself at him. With both arms gone, Bai Yexing could no longer attack with mystical Qi, so he dashed forward and threw himself into the beast’s jaws. Then, he turned his head, put his bloody teeth into its throat once again, and kept kicking it with his legs.
By now, the mystical beast was terribly frightened.
With all its strength, the beast flung Bai Yexing away and then retreated to another corner, where it curled itself up while shivering. The fear in its eyes grew stronger and was plain to see, and the look on its face seemed to be saying that it wanted nothing but escape from the field.
Bai Yexing struggled to his feet again and bolted toward the mystical beast.
Everyone could tell that he was now at the end of his tether, that he was merely clinging to his last breath, and this charge of his was just a show. The mystical beast, on the other hand, though seriously wounded as well, still had the strength to fight back, which could be proven by how it had flung Bai Yexing away. At this critical juncture now, all it needed was a dash and it would be able to defeat Bai Yexing completely.
But, the mystical beast, a black lion who was known for its savagery and violent nature, did nothing but whine and whimper. As Bai Yexing approached, it quickly spun with its tail tucked low and fled with its remaining leg, rolling and crawling out of the field.
Everyone sighed; it was not out of pity, but admiration and approval.
Anyone with a pair of keen eyes could see that it was a losing match for Residence of Nine Supremes, a match that they could not win. However, the outcome that everyone was expecting had been changed by Bai Yexing.
As soon as the match began, he had fought desperately as if he wanted to kill his opponent at the cost of his own life. The disciple of Beast Trainer Sect, on the other hand, knew he was in an advantageous position, so he naturally did not want to risk his life.
Since this first move, Bai Yexing had been leading the pace of the battle, forcing his opponent to take dangerous moves with even more desperate attacks. He had used the most extreme style to fight, risking his own life to try and win the match.
Throughout the battle, he had shown everyone the true meaning of savagery; each one of his attacks and moves was a display of his determination.
And it was his savagery that he had completely overwhelmed his opponent.
A man’s cultivation base was important in a fight, but the fighting spirit was equally important. And once the spirit was reduced to its lowest, a defeat was certain. On top of that, Bai Yexing was persistent in his savagery, using it to oppress his opponent until he managed to kill him.
He knew that if he could not kill his opponent before the mystical beast returned, he would have to face two opponents at the same time, and then he would surely be defeated.
After that, he turned to fight the mystical beast. With his condition at that time, there was no way he could win, but he still used the same tactics, boosting his savagery to its extreme to injure the beast at the cost of wounding himself further. By relying on his cultivation base that was two tiers higher than the beast, he used his badly mutilated body to fight a bloody close-quarter combat, once again displaying his ferocity, ruthlessness, and savagery.
Such a horrifying spirit had utterly frightened the mystical beast, causing it to lose all its courage to fight again after it was seriously injured and flee out of the field.
Although mystical beasts had the word ‘mystical’ in their names, they were beasts after all, which would make them unable to escape from their instinctive fear of stronger and fiercer existences.
The match was no longer an ordinary fight between warriors, but a battle of courage and attitude.
With the man, it was a battle of nerves.
With the mystical beast, it was still a battle of nerves.
The one that could be killed had to be killed as quickly as possible, and the one that could not be killed…could be scared away. It could be said that Bai Yexing’s opponent and the opponent’s mystical beast were defeated by his extreme tactics.
From the beginning to the end, Bai Yexing had not uttered a single word, and he had not screamed or grunted. Even his expression had not changed at all. His eyes were calm and cold, as if his wounds were on someone else’s body, and he had no feeling at all.
Even now, as the match was over and the outcome was decided, he still did not speak. He just stood there in the field, waiting for the announcement. His indifferent and calm attitude sent a shiver down the back of all those who were looking at him.
Compared to a fierce enemy or even a ghost, this kind of savagery that hid under the calmness was even more frightening.
“The match is won by Residence of Nine Supremes!”
The announcement finally came. Bai Yexing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he could no longer move, not even able to lift a finger.
He had exhausted all his strength, covered in wounds and having lost a significant amount of blood. With so many negative conditions, it was already a miracle that he could hold on until now.
Everyone saw him standing straight like a spear, unmoving, with only a relieved smile on his face stained with blood and dirt. He seemed to have mumbled something soundlessly, and then he froze in place.
Yun Yang was taken aback.
The last soundless sentence Bai Yexing had said was, “Residence of Nine Supremes never ceases to advance!”
The people of Beast Trainer Sect, including Qin Ruogu, were convinced of their defeat in the match. It would be a queer thing if Residence of Nine Supremes lost the match when it had such an amazing disciple.
Every man had only one life, the same bones, blood, flesh, viscera, and brain. A defeat was certain when one had no courage to fight but one’s opponent did. A man who had the courage to face death and risk his life would certainly have more chances than those who did not.
Qin Ruogu sighed, turned to Yun Yang and said, “Sect Leader Yun, we from the Beast Trainer Sect are sincerely convinced of our defeat in this match of disciples.”
In a rare occurrence, Yun Yang was visibly moved as he said softly, “I wanted to say your disciple did well, but I find such a courteous word hard to come out of my mouth at this moment, for my disciple has won the match beautifully. So, I’ll not pretend to be courteous anymore.”
Qin Ruogu sighed again with envy. “You should feel proud, Sect Leader Yun! With such an amazing disciple, Residence of Nine Supremes deserves to own a Celestial Luck Banner.”
At this point, even Huo Yunfeng was awash with emotion. The match had shocked him so much that he could not come back to his senses for a long time, and he had even forgotten about the supreme-grade spiritual jades that he was about to lose.
‘It is worthwhile to lose my supreme-grade spiritual jades because of such a man!’
