Chapter 35
On the arena, Gong Xiaohua held a long sword in her hand, forming a triangle with the Ministry of Justice personnel as they charged towards the group of the Twelve Guards, killing in all directions.
Wherever they went, the enemies fell like blossoms in spring, not leaving a single blade of grass.
Gong Xiaohua and her team took the opportunity during the melee to swiftly and silently take down a large number of the Twelve Guards and the Five Armies of the Ministry of War.
At the beginning, the Twelve Guards did not react yet. It was only when they discovered their team members were drastically decreasing, did they realize the lethal blow the Ministry of Justice's team had inflicted on most of their personnel.
The leader of the Twelve Guards' expression changed drastically. He did not expect the combat ability of the Ministry of Justice, whom they looked down upon the most, to be so ferocious this year.
Looking at each of them wielding double blades, every move "fatal", even if the leaders crossed swords with them, it would still be an arduous battle, he did not know where they had learned such formidable moves.
The Five Armies of the Ministry of War also discovered that their members, like the Twelve Guards, were rapidly decreasing. The culprit was also the Ministry of Justice.
The Twelve Guards and the Five Armies tacitly chose to retreat quickly. After getting out of this messy situation, they would seek countermeasures.
The first wave of the fierce melee battle was interrupted briefly.
At this time, out of the original 120 members of the Twelve Guards, only 40-50 remained, losing more than half of their members. This loss made them gasp.
The Five Armies of the Ministry of War also went from the original 50 people down to 30 people, losing most of their members as well.
On the other hand, the allied three departments on the opposite side, went from the original 30 people, losing only 5 people. Among them, the Ministry of Justice did not lose a single person.
Moreover, the competition had just begun for a moment, the heavy losses of the Twelve Guards and the Five Armies could not be considered small.
"Boss, I don't know what method the people from the Ministry of Justice used this year, they are very powerful. Most of our brothers fell at their hands." A member of the Twelve Guards came up to his leader and said.
"They anger me to death. We cannot let them gather together, we must scatter them and defeat them one by one."
"Among the Ministry of Justice's team, who is the most powerful?"
"It seems to be that sword-wielding lady. The team is mainly led by her, with Yang Shu assisting."
"Oh? Interesting. Yang Shu is actually willing to be under a woman. Do you know her background?"
"I have never heard of this person before, nor do I know where she came from."
"I see. You can go now."
"Yes."
Seeing their own team suddenly lose 20 people, leaving only 30 people. Almost on par with the number of people on the allied three departments across from them, the Five Armies were also resentful.
They looked towards the leader of the Twelve Guards. The leader of the Twelve Guards seemed to have the same thought as the Five Armies. At the same time, he also looked towards the Five Armies.
The two sides understood each other tacitly and nodded to each other, reaching a temporary allied cooperation.
"Boss, leave that woman to me." Baru said to the leader of the First Army.
Before the competition, the young miss had told him to properly teach the only woman on the arena a lesson during the competition. As long as she does not die, disability does not matter.
At the beginning, seeing that the opponent was a woman, he did not need to make a move. The others would also give her a profound lesson.
He did not expect her to be so tenacious. Then let him experience how hard her bones were.
"Alright, be careful not to underestimate the enemy."
"Yes, boss."
The second wave of melee battle began.
This time, the Twelve Guards and the Five Armies of the Ministry of War mainly targeted the Ministry of Justice. The combat power of the other two departments was not enough to fear.
The Twelve Guards and the Five Armies sent out a full 50 people to attack them.
Seeing the 50 people surrounding them, Yang Shu almost spit blood. It seemed that their performance during the first wave of melee battle made them begin to be wary of them.
Now, essentially each of them had a one to five match. Even if they don't die, they would at least be skinned.
Baru came to Gong Xiaohua. Looking at the woman who had hurt the young miss, a bloodthirsty expression flashed across his face. I will not let anyone who hurt the young miss off.
"Xiaohua, be careful. This Baru is clearly targeting you. This person is notoriously vicious in the army," Yang Shu said to Gong Xiaohua beside him.
"Well, I know. You and the brothers also pay attention to safety."
Gong Xiaohua was clearly targeted by the Twelve Guards and the Five Armies. At this moment, she was facing the siege of four leaders and the notoriously vicious Baru.
The opponent rushed over at the beginning. At first, the ten members of the Ministry of Justice could still maintain a formation together, but the opponent had greater numbers and was determined to scatter them.
Soon, the members of the Ministry Justice began to be attacked separately by the opponent, with each being heavily surrounded.
While Gong Xiaohua was besieged by Balu, the leaders of the Twelve Guards and the Five Armies, she could not take the time to assist others for a while.
On the viewing platform, Qin Chuyuan saw that Gong Xiaohua was besieged by five top masters, especially the most brutal Balu.
His expression became grave, feeling faint regret for recommending such competition rules.
"Chuyuan, isn't that the Gong family lady we saw being bullied by King Xiaobawang last time? She looks thinner now, hmm, even more charming," Lin Zhiyuan said.
"Do you want to lose your mouth?"
"What did I say? By the way, why have you been sarcastic recently?"
"Shut up."
What did Lin Zhiyuan say wrong again?
Balu made the first move. He punched out fiercely and violently, the momentum astonishing like a crushing tornado, rushing straight towards Gong Xiaohua's chest.
In that crucial moment, Gong Xiaohua's body floated up into the air, somersaulting down. As she landed, she curled up and squatted down, then swiftly stood up from the ground with a roll. She then took a few steps to gain momentum, stomping hard off one foot. Her body leapt into the air as her other leg drew back and kicked out fiercely, the wind roared as it sliced towards Balu’s face.
Balu was unable to defend in time as he fell straight onto his back, his head knocking hard against the ground. He grimaced and howled wildly in pain.
Baru's painful screams drew the audience's attention. When they saw Baru lying on the ground, they were stunned.
Who could knock Balu down so quickly in such a short amount of time, leaving him unable to fight back?
The other four leaders who were with Balu were also dumbfounded. They had not even seen the opponent's movements clearly before Balu had already fallen. Her skill must be astonishing!
In an instant, Gong Xiaohua attracted the attention of all spectators of the competition.
After dealing with Balu, Gong Xiaohua saw that Yang Shu and the others were struggling hard. She had to end this quickly, otherwise they would all be annihilated in the end.
"The four of you come at me together. Don't waste time."
"Little girl, you have some skills, but don't be too arrogant."
After saying that, the four of them slashed their blades towards the front from Gong Xiaohua’s all sides simultaneously.
At this moment, their actions seemed too slow in her eyes.
Gong Xiaohua's figure flashed as she charged forward. She turned sideways, grabbing one of their palms with her hand and tapping lightly. A sharp pain came from the palm causing the knife to fall out instantly as its owner knelt on the ground.
At the same time, Gong Xiaohua’s other sword-wielding hand blocked backwards. The clashing of blades rang out.
She rotated her wrist, sweeping her long sword towards the three people. Her sword qi assaulted them causing the other three people to quickly retreat and dodge. With a stride, she fiercely kicked one of the leaders in the chest, kicking him far away. Then her body suddenly spun with her single leg whipping out left and right, tripping the other two retreating leaders to the ground. The five people were knocked out. The audience members on the platform silently watched Gong Xiaohua in shock. A lone woman had defeated five top masters of Danyang alone.
The audience’s hearts were filled with astonishment, envy and more so, admiration.
Some women among the audience could not help but feel honored. Who said women were inferior to men?
Third Madam Qin had thought Gong Xiaohua would be eliminated very quickly in the arena, but she did not expect her to win the competition in such a spectacular fashion.
Seeing Balu and the other four easily defeated by Gong Xiaohua, Lin Yueru's fists hidden in her sleeves tightened.
