On the vast battle arena, the assassin Changhong stood at one corner of the stage, while the swordsman Xueyang walked alone to the center.
This scene left everyone stunned.
In a two-on-one fight, the two fighters generally couldn't be too far apart in order to coordinate properly. Moreover, Changhong was an assassin and Xueyang was a swordsman—both melee classes, making it even more impossible to spread out beyond fifty yards.
At fifty yards, even the longest-ranged rangers couldn't provide support.
"What are you two doing?" Fire Dance glanced at the assassin Changhong in the distance, then shifted her gaze to the swordsman Xueyang.
Xueyang said dismissively, "I just think one-on-one is too boring, so I want to take you both on alone. Don't worry about it—this'll be over quickly."
In the spectator stands, the sounds from the arena carried clearly outward. When everyone heard Xueyang's words, a wave of exclamations swept through the crowd.
No one had expected someone from the Glorious Lion to say something like that.
In the Dark Arena, no one had ever done anything like this before. Everyone fought to win—why would anyone hold back?
If you weren't a fool, then you had absolute confidence in your own power.
"So you're saying you want to take on two at once." Fire Dance looked at Xueyang's arrogant expression, suppressed the fury in her heart, and said coldly, "It seems the Glorious Lion really is underestimating us."
"Hahaha, don't say that—this is a great opportunity for you to win the match." Xueyang chuckled, completely unconcerned by the icy killing intent radiating from Fire Dance.
The Glorious Lion had already lost one match, which had cost them considerable face. Doing this now served two purposes: first, to recover the Glorious Lion's reputation, and second, to test the power of an epic-grade weapon.
Though Xueyang didn't believe Fire Dance and Ziyan Liuyun were even worthy of being test subjects.
"Since that's the case, then let it be as you wish." Fire Dance took a step forward and positioned herself in front of Ziyan Liuyun.
Ziyan Liuyun understood Fire Dance's intention and stepped back.
"Interesting!" Xueyang said dismissively, drawing his silver sword studded with seven brilliant gemstones. "I hope you can last a little while after the match begins."
……
"This isn't good." In the spectator stands, Bai Qingxue's brows furrowed tightly as she watched the scene unfold.
"Qingxue, what's there to worry about? Fire Dance was able to hold her own against a squad leader from the Seven Deadly Sins for quite a while back then. Could this guy really be stronger than a Seven Deadly Sins squad leader?" Zhao Yueru knew Fire Dance's capabilities to some extent. Even if Xueyang was strong, she didn't think he could win for certain.
"You don't understand—Xueyang's sword techniques are extremely eerie. Even a Shield Warrior like Canglang Zhantian couldn't block his sword." Bai Qingxue shook her head. She had already watched the video of that battle.
She had a rough understanding of Xueyang's strength. Perhaps in terms of overall combat level, Xueyang wasn't far above the squad leader from the Seven Deadly Sins, but in terms of offensive technique, the squad leader simply couldn't compare.
Now that Xueyang wanted to take on two opponents, this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate him.
Bai Qingxue immediately contacted Shi Feng.
"What is it, President Bai?" Shi Feng opened the communication channel and asked.
"Night Fang, that Xueyang's attack methods are far from ordinary. It would be best if the two of them joined forces and took Xueyang down immediately. If Fire Dance has to handle him alone, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand his sword." Bai Qingxue said urgently.
The match hadn't started yet, so the two of them could still deal with Xueyang in time. But once the match officially began, it would be too late.
"Thank you for the warning, President Bai." Shi Feng hadn't expected Bai Qingxue to contact him so urgently—just for this matter. He couldn't help but smile.
Seeing Shi Feng's calm and composed expression, Bai Qingxue grew even more anxious.
