Chapter 118


    Although the audience was infuriated, Skyler had not vited the rules.


    Hence, the organizingmittee was unable to find fault with him.


    The big screen disyed Skyler''s name as the winner.


    Skyler left the stage, and the big screen continued to flicker wildly.


    Shortly after, it disyed the next match between Lucian and Jacky White.


    Jacky White practiced the Universal Punch. He was thirty years old this year, and his skill was at its


    peak.


    Jacky and Lucian stepped on stage at the same time.


    On stage, Lucian seemed weak. With his bright eyes, white teeth, and clothes as white as snow, he


    was like a harmless rabbit.


    On the other hand, Jacky was dressed in rough clothing, had a buzz cut, and had a tanned and strong


    body, just like a warrior.


    To the audience, it was like a scene from Beauty and the Beast. Everyone was inclined toward Lucian


    and hoped that he would win.


    It was undeniable that this world cherished those who were good-looking.


    Lucian and Jacky did not exchange any words. When the bell rang, Jacky shouted and started his


    attack strongly. He was a master of the Universal Punch, which evolved from the technique of the


    spears. His legs propelled powerfully. It was as though he was a general on a horse. His fist was his


    weapon, and he swung it with great force.


    It was so strong that it could be felt through the air.


    Jacky was like an ancient general with a spear. His fist darted up and down and suddenly flew toward


    Lucian''s throat.


    Yet, Lucian remained still and did not move a single muscle.


    All of a sudden, he used the Scorpion Attack. This move was unparalleled. It was silent, deadly, and as


    quick as lightning.


    With a loud thud, Jacky flew into the air before falling to the ground heavily. He spat out some blood


    and died on the spot.


    It was a clean and efficient battle.


    Lucian was named the Little Martial Sage, after all. He won with overwhelming strength.


    The audience was stunned into silence. They were not from the martial arts world and did not


    understand what had happened. However, thepetitors'' deaths had intimidated them greatly.


    For those in the martial arts world, they had truly understood the extent of Lucian''s power.


    The nickname, Little Martial Sage, truly deserved its reputation.


    Soon, Lucian left the stage as the next match continued.


    This time, Jonathan was not familiar with the twopetitors. The fight went on for a while and was


    thrilling enough to get the audience hooked.


    In the end, the boxer won. The other party was merely injured and not dead.


    Jonathan did not make an appearance, and neither did Polly.


    In the blink of an eye, it was two o''clock in the afternoon, and the half-time break began. The


    competition was scheduled to resume at eight o''clock in the evening.


    The audience dispersed and headed out to rest and eat.


    There was no way that the stadium could arrange meals for everyone.


    As they left the stadium, Jonathan''s group met Skyler coincidentally. Skyler''s gaze was cold and blood-


    thirsty. He stared at Jonathan and licked his lips. “You''re lucky. Regardless, I will definitely kill you.”


    Jonathan looked at Skyler. He suddenly chuckled and left but not without saying one word. “Idiot.”


    Skyler was enraged.


    Stephen and Hector did not join Jonathan but went to find Julian.


    On the way back to Faike, Jonathan asked Amber curiously, “Amber, where exactly is Mabel and the


    others?”


    Amber replied, “I''m not very sure. However, she told me that she already settled this matter, so I


    needn''t worry. I think she''s hiding somewhere in Faike. You didn''tpete for the entire morning,


    after all.”


    Jonathan thought that it made sense. However, he said, “Tell her to let mepete. If I don''tpete


    for the entire Golden Sword Tournament, I''ll be a joke.”


    Amber actually did not want Jonathan topete. She said perfunctorily, “All right. I''ll tell her that.”


    At eight o''clock in the evening, the Golden Sword Tournament resumed.


    Everyone took their seats.


    The audience seats were dim, while the stage was lit up with dazzling lights.


    The screen lit up once again.


    This time, it was Hector against Mason.


    Dressed in a white robe, Hector stepped into the ring elegantly with a gentle gaze.


    Although he was young, he already had the aura of a Shadow Punch master.


    On the other hand, Mason wore a grey coat, and his eyes were full of hostility.


    The two of them began attacking once the bell rang.


    Mason''s attacks were swift. He relied entirely on his legs to attack. His Springing Kicks were so


    powerful that even the strongest men feared them. In an instant, Mason executed three Springing


    Kicks.


    They were the Ghost Cross, Wheel Strike, and Diagonal Kick. Altogether, they looked like sharp waves


    of shadows.


    Mason''s attacks were fierce and powerful. He wanted to defeat Hector as quickly as possible.


    Hector stood in ce and circled his arms as his legs supported his actions. His hands formed a seal


    as he stamped his feet. In the next moment, Mason''s attacks were all deflected.


    Hector was calm and skillful. After he deflected Mason''s Springing Kicks, his body suddenly became


    light as he used Antelope Rhythm. His Antelope Rhythm incorporated some additional characteristics


    of Shadow Punch, which made it different and unique. He suddenly appeared behind Mason and used


    Obstacle Hammer.


    Mason was caught off guard. With a loud thud, he was thrown into the air before falling to the ground


    heavily.


    However, his injuries were not severe. Hector had been merciful.


    Hector had won this round.


    The screen lit up with bright colors once again.


    As soon as Hector returned to his seat, he was showered with praises by Stephen. Jonathan and the


    others also gave him a thumbs up.


    At that moment, the screen disyed the matching between Stephen and Skyler.


    Jonathan was shocked.


    Stephen was not too bothered. He chuckled and said, “Let me see how good this Jetroinian punk is.”


    “Stephen!” Jonathan saw Stephen as his friend. Hence, he said fearfully, “You should withdraw from


    this battle.” He knew how powerful Skyler was. Stephen would not be able to defeat thetter.


    Moreover, Skyler was ruthless. He would undoubtedly not leave Stephen alive. Jonathan had to stop


    Stephen.


    Stephen was surprised. “What are you talking about? I already withdrew once. If I do it again, I''ll be


    eliminated.” He paused and questioned angrily, “Jonathan, are you looking down on me? You think that


    I won''t be able to win, right?”


    Jonathan was at a loss for words.

    Infuriated, Stephen muttered, “I''ll prove myself to you.” With those words, he marched on stage


    determinedly.


    Jonathan was helpless. In this ring, everyone had the right to make a choice. Jonathan could only hope


    that Stephen would be able to create a miracle.


    Hector understood Jonathan''s worries. He said tensely, “Although Stephen is yful, he is devoted to


    Destino Art. This is his choice. I believe in him.”


    Jonathan nodded.


    Polly watched intently but did not say a word.


    Amber and the others were also nervous as they had a good impression of Stephen. At the same time,


    they knew how ruthless Skyler was.


    On stage, Stephen and Skyler stood opposite each other.


    Skyler looked at Stephen with a predatory glow in his eyes. He sneered, “I know you, piglet. You''re


    Jonathan''s friend. I''ll dig out your heart today. Haha!”


    Stephen frowned as the bell rang.


    In the next second, Stephen and Skyler attacked at the same time.


    They were like streaks of lightning.


    Stephen attacked with the Half-Step Crash Punch. His fist shot toward Skyler''s throat like an arrow


    shot from a bow.


    Skyler''s throat bobbed as he quickly avoided Stephen''s punch. Skyler was extremely agile, his attacks


    ruthless and unpredictable. It was difficult to guard against his attacks. With a duck, he used Eagle''s


    Ironw and grabbed at Stephen''s waist quickly.


    If his attacknded, Stephen''s liver would immediately rupture.


    Skyler had used this technique to kill Keh. Hence, Stephen knew how powerful it was.


    In fact, Skyler''s attack was well-known. It was called Stars Rotation.


    The world changed as the stars rotated.


    When he dropped into a crouch, it was as though he had disappeared. His head could attack the


    enemy''s abdomen while his hands could form various fatal attacks.


    Stephen''s eyes had a cold glint as he took a step back quickly. Skyler immediately followed him like a


    shadow, his killing intent overpowering.


    Stephen immediately used Mongrel Attack. With an almost silent swish, his leg blurred as it flew out


    like a de.


    Skyler was creeping with his gaze down but was able to detect Stephen''s kick. He suddenly grabbed


    Stephen''s abdomen with one hand while the other hugged Stephen''s leg.


    This was another famous move known as the Mowing Farmer.


    Stephen paled in horror. He anxiously used Antelope Rhythm to get out of Skyler''s grip.


    Crack!


    Stephen''s Antelope Rhythm was still undeveloped. Although he had escaped, there were still streaks of


    blood on his inner thigh left by Skyler.


    At that moment, Stephen''s artery had been cut open, and he bled profusely.


    He was in a dire situation.


    His injury tugged at the audience''s heartstrings. Everyone hoped that he could defeat the Jetroinian


    devil.


    “Stephen, surrender!” At that moment, Hector and Jonathan stood up and rushed toward the ring. They


    knew that only death awaited Stephen if he continued fighting.


    Stephen knew that as well. Just as he was about to surrender, Skyler made a move again.


    He sprang like a wild beast, and his fingernails pierced into Stephen''s chest like a de. His entire fist


    dug into thetter''s chest.


    The scene was extremely bloody.


    In the next moment, Skyler retracted his hand, which held a bloody, beating heart in it.


    Stephen''s expression changed when he saw it. He gurgled a scream and fell to the ground, dead.


    It was too cruel.


    No one could imagine Stephen''s feelings from seeing his own heart get dug out.


    Jonathan and Hector froze. It was toote.


    Stephen was dead.
