For everyone present, an incredible turn of event is occuring. The musha who was originally regarded as a passerby actually defeated Li Huihui, the proud daughter of the Li family, with one blow. Then the two of them revealed that the young stranger who came out halfway was Long Aotian, the long lost son of the Wu Lin leader and the once useless son who had his engagement broken off in shame? !
Now it seems that Li Huihui is about to lose her life because of her mistake in the past, and no one is willing to help her. On the one hand, it was due to the rules of the duel, and on the other hand, other families and free contestants hoped that she would be taken out so that they would have fewer competitors.
But at this critical moment, a foreign woman jumped out and used unknown means to block the fatal blow for Li Huihui. Then Long Aotian, who was still full of his own victory just now, was knocked back dozens of feet by her punch. There are so many twists and turns in just one round, making it prime material for the people who want to watch.
"You are…?"
Li Huihui raised her head and saw her savior under the sunshine from the open-air roof of the competition arena. It was like she was wearing a cloak of sunshine, shining like a hero descending from the sky.
"Are you okay?"
The blonde hero turned around, dissipated the mysterious shield in her hand, and showed a gentle smile to Li Huihui. That smile seemed to be telling her, "Don't be afraid! I'm here!"
"I...I'm fine. T-thank you for saving me."
Li Huihui was at a loss for such a sunny smile and could only express her thanks briefly.
"That punch just now was really good. Heroine, may I ask your name?"
On the other hand, Long Aotian patted his chest nonchalantly and asked. Although the punch just now surprised him, it actually didn't cause much damage to him. He had already recovered with his qi in a few breaths.
However, Marika did not answer his question. Instead, the audience's discussion and commentary answered him.
"Look! Isn't that the foreign woman who has been rumored to be doing good all round the city!"
"Yes, yes! I've heard of her! I heard that she was the one who took out Ye Qintian, the remnant of the demon clan! That would have brought great harm to Zhongyuan City if he was allowed to run free!"
"Your news is out of date. I heard from my disciple that this girl took down a group of alchemy realm Murong family disciples yesterday!"
"Indeed that is some frightening talent!"
"I wonder what her chances are of winning against Long Doutian's son?"
"I heard from my senior brother that when she was fighting with Ye Qintian, she even took out Li Yun, the adopted son of the elder Li family!"
"What a strength! If I can have her as a disciple, she will definitely be a master in the future! This girl has a promising future!"
"Sister, don't be in a hurry to accept a disciple! I heard rumors that this girl is the descendant of the famous British King Arthur! Maybe she already has a capable teacher!"
"There is such a strange person in the world?! Junior, please tell me what her name is?"
"I heard her name is Marika!"
Long Aotian listened quietly to the noise of the crowd. He put away his sword and put his hands behind his back, as if he was enjoying the discussion. In other words, he enjoys the spotlight.
When everyone's heated discussion slowly stopped, Long Aotian looked at Marika with interest, who was still looking at him with a wary expression.
"So your name is Marika! It's such a beautiful name and it suits you very well."
After saying that, he showed what he thought was a "charming" smile.
But Marika didn't react at all and still kept her fists up to guard against him.
"Ah~ so handsome!"
On the other hand, the little fans in his harem had boy crazy expressions on their faces and babbled infatuatedly.
Feeling that she should get Li Huihui out of here as soon as possible, Marika took the lead and tentatively spoke:
"Can you let Miss Li Huihui go? You have already won the game, you don't need to kill her, right?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid this doesn't comply with the rules of the game, miss!"
Long Aotian said it indifferently, as if he didn't just want to kill someone for a trivial matter. Marika looked at his arrogant expression and felt angry, and cursed with an unkind expression:
"Fuck your game rules! After all, what you want to do is just petty revenge, and an extremely childish one at that!"
"Childish?"
Long Aotian has been cursed by many people, but this is the first time he has been called "childish" by others.
"What else would it be! A woman rejects you, and you kill her to vent your anger?! How is this different from a child breaking a toy when he can't get it!?"
Marika's sharp words touched his heart. The fragile pride beneath his strong exterior screamed at him to kill the woman in front of him who dared to speak to him like this. But Marika's outspokenness also made his heart move. If he could conquer her with this fierce personality and beautiful appearance, wouldn't that be the best thing?
"Well said! Miss, you are quite the outspoken one! I appreciate that! But don't you think it's a pity to waste your time on this "noble daughter" of the Li family? "
Long Aotian specially emphasized the word "noble daughter" in a mocking tone. This provoked Li Huihui, who was behind Malika, to glare at him with resentful eyes.
"Not at all. We are not in the middle ages, human lives have value here!"
Marika's firm refusal made Long Aotian sigh. But he didn't show any impatience from beginning to end, as if he had already won.
"Miss Marika, this is your last chance. Give up this stupid woman. Maybe after we have some time to talk, you will find that we have a lot in common!"
"In your dreams."
Marika's answer was evident in her movements as she restarted her stance.
"Then I will use my strength to prove that I am right! Miss, be careful!"
After a brief disappointed look, Long Aotian exuded strong qi energy, crumbling the floor beneath his feet, and attacked at a speed that was not inferior to Long Doutian.
But suddenly, there were hundreds of golden ripples surrounding him from above, and each ripple revealed a magical weapon that made his hair stand on end.
These weapons didn't even give him time to breathe, and they fired directly at him. The power of the volley was so terrifying that it exploded directly on the ground, stirring up a burst of sand and dust.
Long Aotian fell for her trap. Marika had been raising her fists in preparation just now, which made Long Aotian mistakenly think that she was a melee fighter. Who knew that Marika actually had the best of both worlds?
"Run!"
Marika shouted to Li Huihui behind her. Li Huihui had enough good sense to know that she won't be able to intervene in the coming battle. So Li Huihui wisely chose to use her qi energy to escape.
Seeing that she had no worries, Marika turned back to face her current enemy. At this time, Long Aotian had already shaken away the dust around him with a powerful burst of Qi. There were still several bloody holes on his body that were slowly healing. It seemed that the bombardment of the Noble Phantasms just now was still useful.
"Mission trigger: Defeat or kill Long Aotian. Mission difficulty: Hard. Mission reward: Multiverse Lottery x1."

Following the system prompt, Long Aotian attacked again, hitting Marika's waist with a sharp whip kick. However, Marika was well prepared and dodged the attack with a golden teleportation. The moment she finished teleporting, Marika immediately put on her Rhongomyniad armor. Then followed in with another salvo of Noble Phantasms, but this time Long Aotian, who was prepared, dodged it.
"Not a bad move, but it's meaningless if you can't hit me."
He said contemptuously and continued to approach Marika. But the Gates of Babylon did not lose their aim on him, suddenly it changed its orderly volley and started firing continuously like machine guns. The numerous Noble Phantasm rain down on Long Aotian. Every shot was like a small missile. Long Aotian knew if he got hit it would only cause more bloody wounds, so he had to try his best to avoid it.
Long Aotian was about to be overwhelmed by the bombardment of the Noble Phantasm, but he suddenly threw something towards Marika. Marika took a closer look with her advanced vision and saw that it was a small wooden sculpture.
Marika looked at the wood carving, and for some reason her NewType senses went off in alarm. She chose to trust her intuition and pulled out a pure white katana with her right hand from one of the Gate of Babylon portals opened on the left. It was the sword Virtuous Contract!
After Marika took out the sword, she held the handle of the sword with both hands and swung the sword from the lower right to the upper left in the direction her intuition told her. Sure enough, the wooden sculpture suddenly burst into smoke, and then Long Aotian suddenly teleported out of the smoke, powerfully coming down from the top, and swung with the dull side of his sword.
Fortunately, Malika had already struck back, and the two attacks canceled each other out. The powerful force was shattered by the earthquake!
Next comes the close combat phase that Marika is worried about. These Qi warriors seem to be very good at close combat, and Marika, who just experienced the mixed double whammy between Ye Qintian and Li Yun a few days ago, felt it deeply.
For a moment, there was a flurry of flashes of swords and blades between the two, the two evenly matched. But only Marika, who has the skill Transparent world that can accurately observe the movements of the opponent's muscles, knows that Long Aotian's movements actually contain many unnecessary movements, especially rotations. It's more like a gorgeous dance than swordsmanship, and the sense of threat in it is not even as good as Li Yun's staff skills.
Looking back at Marika's sword technique, there is no unnecessary movement between each move. Each sword moves towards the vital point with the minimum movement. This is a sword technique that can only be mastered on the hellish battlefield of war.
In Marika's opinion, Long Aotian's use of this kind of swordsmanship was purely to provoke her. It was a Long Aotian way of telling her that he could defeat her even with this playful and non-serious swordsmanship. Not wanting to follow Long Aotian's wishes, Marika calmed down even more, not letting the anger of being underestimated swallow her up, and focused on fighting wholeheartedly.
But she was wrong about him. Long Aotian was actually completely shocked. Marika's sword skills were too terrifying for him. Every move carries a terrifying murderous intent, every strike goes for vital points, and there are even several times where she went for the crotch! His swordsmanship, which he had practiced for many years and was very proud of, was actually not as good as his opponent's!? This was another blow to his self-esteem.
However, after a brief period of fright, he became more obsessed with the powerful woman in front of him. Most of the women he met in the past were immediately impressed by his powerful strength or wisdom, falling to his whim, so Long Aotian felt that he could still do it this time.
The sword fight continued, and the ground of the venue was devastated with the powerful force of the two. Each blow was as powerful as a missile. Marika became more and more entranced in the fight, and her posture of wielding the sword became more and more skillful. However, Marika herself didn't feel it very much. Her mind was still completely focused on dealing with every move of the powerful enemy in front of her.
"Hahaha! You can feel it too! This wonderful pleasure in the battle of life and death!"
Long Aotian shouted excitedly while swinging his sword.
"This feeling is something only I can give you! How about it?! Become mine! Marika!"
In response to this guy's perverted remarks, Marika just silently took out Excalibur from the Gate of Babylon in a brief opening between the clash of blades, and then directly rewarded him with the Strike Air!
"Strike Air!"
[Recommended BGM: Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans OST-All out]
Long Aotian was severely knocked away by this blow and hit the Qi shield at the edge of the arena. Marika took advantage of the brief victory to pursue, putting away the two swords in her hands, and took out the Barbatos mace spear. She raised the mace high and struck Long Aotian with a jumping chop. Unfortunately, he used the puppet replacement technique at the last moment to dodge the blow.
The falling mace spear hit the ground, causing tremors no less than a magnitude 2 earthquake!
Then Marika immediately used her new type perception to predict the point where he would appear next, and took out Mjolnir and threw it towards him.
This time, Thor's hammer caught Long Aotian off guard, forcing him to slide on the ground for several feet, leaving a long scratch mark on the ground.
Marika jumped into the air, reached out her hand to recall Mjolnir, and then switched to her own stone hammer. Then she riled up the runes in her body and jumped into the air, preparing to give him a blow from the sky.
The stone hammer was like a lit torch, the burning runes within it appearing as shining golden particles.
But at this moment, Marika sensed danger! She immediately canceled the attack, then used Golden Teleportation to dodge the attack and return to the ground. The position in the air where she was at immediately seemed to be compressed by a pair of invisible hands, squeezing inwards. Not far away, Long Aotian was keeping his hands straight forward and clasping his hands together. This attack did not last long before it dispersed because it lost its target.
"Oh my! What a pity. I thought I could catch you just now!"
Long Aotian's regretful voice sounded. Marika raised her stone hammer levelly, ready to continue fighting. But Long Aotian seems to be starting his talk session again. He said confidently:
"I have to admit that you are the strongest woman I have ever met. You are so perfect that I am completely moved. But I didn't expect you to be so jealous!"
"Huh?"
Question marks popped up in Marika's head regarding this pervert's weird statement.
"Since you can't tolerate sharing me with other women, that's fine as it is! To attain you, abandoning them is just a small price to pay!"
Hearing Long Aotian's revealing speech, the hearts of the girls in his harem were shattered by his cruel words.
"What?! Brother Aotian doesn't want us anymore!?"
"False! Aotian can't possibly say that!"
"I must be dreaming! Aotian kun clearly said he loves me!"
Faced with such a scumbag, what should Marika do? …
Kill this piece of shit! Duh!
"Eat shit!"
Maeika threw away the stone hammer, accelerated with the Strike Air, and appeared in front of Long Aotian in a flash. She transferred the runes and mana in her body to her fists, making her fists seem to be lit by golden flames. Then the fist wrapped in iron armor hit Long Aotian's dog face!
[Recommended BGM: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance OST-It has to be this way]
Long Aotian was immediately knocked back, and then he received another heavy punch, this time from the left! Then a right hook! A left hook! Two more jabs! Then an uppercut!
Fight, fight, fight! ! !
While he was being beaten hard, Marika kicked him in the stomach, causing Long Aotian to retch in pain.
"Kawah!"
Then a jumping straight punch, and then two left and right uppercuts! Finally, it ends with a Shenglong Fist!
After a set of combo punches, Long Aotian was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and he became dizzy.
Boom! ! !
But Marika then threw a Hug and Throw attack, knocking him to the ground on the back of his head. Before Long Aotian recovered, Marika took the opportunity to ride on him and started punching him in the face repeatedly!
"Crazy bastard!"
Punch!
"Damn pervert!"
Punch!
"Scumbag!"
Punch!
"Childish!"
Another punch!
"Chuunibyou!"
PUNCH!
Marika landed punch after punch. Each punch carries runes and mana, as well as her anger, which greatly increases the power of the punch. Each strike has a power comparable to that of a small missile!
Long Aotian's originally proud and handsome face (in his own perception) gradually swelled up like a pig's head under Marika's continuous bombardment.
Marika now undoubtedly has the upper hand!
