Chapter 802: Chapter 799: Does It Hurt?
However, after these words were spoken, the crowd felt that it might not be impossible.
"Then let’s watch. If Kojima Minako truly seizes the so-called Treasure Map from the Hunter, it’ll naturally prove that this matter has nothing to do with the Water Drop Organization. But if she returns empty-handed, you understand, right?"
Those hiding in the shadows nodded, fearing that top martial artists Xiao Tian and Kojima Minako would detect them, they communicated through True Qi transmission.
Nonetheless, as much as they said this, the crowd still thought of another possibility: if the Hunter actually defeated Kojima Minako, it still wouldn’t prove if he had the Treasure Map.
But, for these people, it was just watching a spectacle. Even though Kojima Minako was rumored to be much stronger than Thunder King Salon, even if she defeated the Hunter and obtained the Treasure Map, they could only passively observe.
At this moment, Xiao Tian was also carefully watching Kojima Minako’s every move, trying to glean more useful information from the details.
From the very beginning, Kojima Minako displayed an extreme calmness, as if she was confident of her victory in the upcoming battle, showing no signs of disturbance and leaving Xiao Tian with no useful judgments.
Moreover, Kojima Minako truly lived up to the reputation of a master, her True Qi was entirely contained with no signs of external fluctuation, a level of control that even Xiao Tian couldn’t achieve at his peak.
After a while, Xiao Tian’s Iron Chain Cross River reached its pinnacle, feeling the surging True Qi within about to break free, he unhesitatingly took the initiative, intending to fight desperately without any preliminary testing.
Kojima Minako was waiting for this moment, and as Xiao Tian moved, she immediately parted her lips slightly and transmitted: "Do you want to know Liu Hanyan’s news?"
After speaking, she surprisingly withdrew her Protective True Qi, leaving those watching dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening.
Kojima Minako couldn’t possibly be so confident in her strength, right?!
She was a master who had defeated Thunder King Salon and the top assassin Hidden Needle, facing the Dark List’s tenth-ranked Hunter!
Such arrogance might be understandable against ordinary masters, but against someone of almost equal level...
No!
This wasn’t arrogance, it was naked contempt.
Yet, despite this, no one believed that Kojima Minako would commit such a suicidal act; they could only persistently watch.
In the arena, upon hearing Kojima Minako’s transmission, Xiao Tian felt somewhat odd. The mysterious letter also mentioned this name, and when he asked Ghost Face, the latter seemed strange?!
Unable to recall, Xiao Tian maintained his full force attack, while transmitting: "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"..." Kojima Minako was speechless at Xiao Tian’s reply, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, as he claimed not to understand her?!
For a moment, the stunned Kojima Minako even forgot to apply Protective True Qi and necessary defenses, taking Xiao Tian’s blow fully.
With a muffled groan, Kojima Minako flew backward like a severed kite, awakening mid-air with a face flushed with shame and anger, infuriated that this bastard dared strike her sensitive area!
However, after succeeding with one strike, Xiao Tian dared not relax, stomping forward firmly and shouting fiercely as he chased, unleashing a flurry of punches mid-air toward Kojima Minako.
Hastily defending herself, Kojima Minako grew increasingly annoyed at Xiao Tian’s relentless, indiscriminate strikes, wishing she could kill him with a single blow.
But now, losing first strike, Xiao Tian’s reckless attacks in disregard of targets agitated her mind, even making her struggle to defend adequately.
Considering the great difference in prowess, this situation shouldn’t happen at all.
"Do you truly not care about Liu Hanyan’s fate?!"
In desperation, Kojima Minako yelled again, hoping to make Xiao Tian stop.
And once Xiao Tian ceased his attack, Kojima Minako was confident she had thousands of ways to kill this bastard!
Yet, once again surprising Kojima Minako, Xiao Tian responded with: "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
While speaking, Xiao Tian’s attacks never faltered; though he couldn’t yet judge the opponent’s true ability, he knew she was far beyond him, presenting a one-time opportunity.
Should she seize an opportunity to break free, the situation would instantly reverse.
Knowing this, Xiao Tian understood the limited time left for him, seizing every second for ferocious output, trying to disrupt her breathing and True Qi flow.
After a while, Xiao Tian sighed, ultimately being blasted backward by the explosive force of Kojima Minako’s True Qi.
Although he expected this outcome, there was still some disappointment, realizing his advantageous apparent attacks were essentially repeated strikes on Kojima Minako’s pressure points with unique methods.
Given more time, Xiao Tian was confident he could make her surrender willingly, but it was still a bit too late.
Despite his rapid pace, the massive difference in strength couldn’t easily be bridged!
But no matter, the current situation wasn’t too bad; at least Xiao Tian was confident enough not to be beyond reversal yet.
Meanwhile, those secretly watching were stunned!
Originally, Kojima Minako’s strong confidence suggested she had methods to support such self-assurance.
But right away, Kojima Minako being beaten by the Hunter was hard to accept, this unexpected contrast!
Next was the strange behavior of the Hunter, while swift and forceful, he didn’t inflict much damage, seemingly letting people suspect he intended to harass.
Thus Kojima Minako’s sudden eruption shockingly rebounding Xiao Tian away, leaving spectators struggle to regain their senses.
"You!"
In the arena, Kojima Minako’s face flushed red, eyes crimson like an enraged bull, breathing heavily, appearing intimidating.
On the other hand, Xiao Tian wasn’t much better, also breathing heavily. Seeing Kojima Minako’s appearance, he forced a teasing smile and asked: "Does it hurt?"
