Chapter 954 - 954 488 Saint Fist Corpse Head (4200)_2

Chapter 954: 488 Saint Fist Corpse Head (4200)_2 Chapter 954: 488 Saint Fist Corpse Head (4200)_2 It seemed as if dozens of personalities had taken up residence inside the Masked Man’s body!

“Shut up! All of you shut up!!!”

A loud roar shattered his self-dialogue, and the blood-red eyes of the Masked Man were once again eroded by darkness, turning into a grim dark hue.

He took a deep breath, withdrew his palm, and released the trembling Fourth King, who then leaned weakly against the tree trunk. At that moment, she truly felt that she was about to be killed, in the most brutal way, almost as if it were a slaughter.

The opponent was too fast, too strong, and his aura was restrained; she couldn’t resist at all. Was this the gap between the top and the ultimate?

Furthermore, the Fourth King was certain that the First was really going insane. The influence of that Evil Object called the Blood Soul Secret Box was reaching a dangerously extreme point. The First had already split into personalities to the point of wanting to kill his comrades…

Next to her, the Masked Man back in his normal state clenched his fist tightly.

This is indeed the price of power pursued to the extreme; gain comes with loss…

If it weren’t for the replica of the Purification Mask on his face, which continuously exerted its calming effect, he might have already completely succumbed.

At present, he could not yet be called a true Ultimate Fighter. If he wanted to fully step into this realm, he must eliminate the risk posed by using the Blood Soul Secret Box. That is to find the real Purification Mask!

And that mask was in a Relic on the Eternal Islands.

Apart from the Purification Mask, there were two other items of utmost importance. One was the secret of the Southern Dipper Water Bird Fist that Magic Phoenix Saint Fist desired. He believed that his inability to break through to the Holy Fist Realm was surely due to his own practice of the Secret Martial Art. Thus, Magic Phoenix Saint Fist wanted this high-level Secret Martial Art left by a master of the Saint Fist level to find his breakthrough chance.

What Whale King Arlington wanted was the corpse of the Saint Fist in the relic. The aura and traces left by the Saint Fist were invaluable.

Of course, the existence of these two items was possible. The First King had only obtained some fragmented information from memory shards; it wasn’t necessarily all true. Apart from the Purification Mask, which was confirmed to be in the relic on the Eternal Islands, the First King was making every effort to initiate this collaboration.

To explore that notoriously dangerous and eerie place from memory.

“I must obtain the Purification Mask, it is mine!”

The First King looked up at the sky, at the pale waning moon.

******************************

August 2, East Sea City, the International Exchange Meeting was taking place as usual. The side from the Hong Li Empire Secret Martial Arts World seemed to have gained an edge, no longer as agitated and anxious as in the previous days. After all, Victor of the highly respected Scorching Fist had arrived, and a cooperation was reached with Jett of the Seven Evils Star.

In the venue of the International Exchange Meeting, various arenas were urgently replaced last night, turning into several huge circular areas made of steel.

Around the edge of the venue were railings, as thick as a human arm, lined up.

Many seats close to the arena were cleared out, and all spectators were arranged to be inside a row of buildings behind the arenas. The seats were placed directly on the corridors of the second, third, and fourth floors, allowing for a high, unobstructed view.

These buildings had been specially modified by professionals to have certain protective effects without obstructing the view, and they had also been reinforced.

Clearly, the arrangements were made in preparation for sparring matches between fighters.

In the fourth viewing tower, a silhouette clad in a trench coat quietly looked down. Next to a few of the arenas, some fighters about to enter the ring were warming up. They came from different Sects and even different Secret Martial Arts Worlds. Now, they were grouped by country, forming roughly three powers: the Hong Li Empire, the Yana United States, and an alliance led by the Star Blue Empire, mainly because the Star Blue Empire was quite far from both North and South Reef Continent and its oceanic navigation was relatively undeveloped, bringing few representatives from its schools.

As time passed, it was roughly around nine in the morning.

An elder from the Eastern Secret Martial Arts World School stood on the opening ceremony stage next to a few arenas and officially announced the start of the fighters’ sparring.

“Arena one, Romy of the Evil Eye Fist from the Hong Li Empire, versus Barley of the Flame Steel Flow from the Yana United States. May both elders please take your places on arena one…”

“Arena two, Bin of Bitter Sword Gate from the Yana United States, versus Sasha of the Three-Hand Blue Jaga from the Star Blue Empire.” “Arena three… Kucas Kingdom Serpent Man Fist…”

With each shout, a powerful expert ascended the steel arena. Their profound gazes met, their auras clashing and bursting forth.

Faintly, the spirit of the fighters had been stirred.

“Begin!”

As soon as the words fell, only afterimages remained on several arenas. In the middle, experts in tight combat suits collided.

Fists and feet struck hard against each other, exploding a circle of white traces in the air. With every step and shift, the whole arena trembled and banged loudly. Sometimes, when fists collided, sounds like shells clashing rang out. Such were the fighters, machines of war comparable to steel.

In the viewing tower, young practitioners of secret martial arts watched unblinkingly, holding their breaths, eyes filled with envy and longing. Others clenched their fists tightly, their expressions tense, clearly having their elders battling on the arena.

As time passed, the battle quickly escalated to an intense phase.

The secret martial arts masters began to reveal their hidden cards, unleashing the killing moves of their own boxing methods. Mighty fists stirred up tempests, with sounds like fighter planes shrieking through mid-air. Some masters struck the railing with a fist, blowing the entire connected railing out of the arena. Others kicked their opponents so hard that the unfortunate fighter was sent flying, bleeding through the air, directly smashing through the wall and into the viewing tower.

Sounds of gasps, admiration, or sighs echoed through the building. This International Exchange Meeting had a robust martial spirit.

Soon, two hours had passed, and the time had reached eleven o’clock.

Several rounds of sparring among fighters had passed, with many school elders and gate masters taking turns to spar. Some were triumphant, some were dejected, and some physically injured, with bones broken. However, both sides had restraint, and no fatalities had occurred yet.

Until one o’clock in the afternoon, the first fatality occurred.

The deceased was an elder of the Red Wrist Fist from the Eastern Martial World of the Hong Li Empire, which in the future era of the Hong Li Federation would be one of the East Nine Doors. The killer was Demiro from Yana United States, the master of the Flame Steel Sect. His boxing method was extremely fierce, and having an advantage, he showed no mercy when he had the upper hand.

The Red Wrist Fist elder was beaten to death after being driven back repeatedly.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the venue took a grim turn. A master-level fighter had died, and what’s more, the deceased was from the side of the organizers. This significantly stirred up the tensions between the martial worlds of the Hong Li Empire and the Yana United States. The subsequent matches turned ruthless. Several fights ended with participants being severely injured and carried away.

In viewing tower number one, the venerable elders of the Hong Li Empire’s Martial World began to glare furiously, extremely angered. This time, their luck in drawing opponents was poor, constantly facing strong contenders from the other factions. The participants were frequently injured severely, and even more distressingly, the only one who had died was from the Hong Li Empire Martial World. They wished to retaliate, but luck in drawing lots was not in their favor, and no fighter had managed to dominate decisively.

Without a significant advantage, it was difficult to kill an opponent in the arena.

If the opponent realized they were losing and surrendered quickly, it was still possible.

At two P.M., a cloud covered the bright sun in the sky.

“At arena one, Hassan of the Star Blue Empire practicing Blood Rock Soft Art, versus the Nine Furnace Steel Fist from Marha Kingdom. Please both elders, take your positions at arena one…”

The announcer stood on the conspicuous opening ceremony stage, declaring the match schedule. He had just finished reading the first part, looked at the paper in his hands, and paused.

But he soon continued loudly with the remaining content.

“At arena two, Otto from the Magic Golem Sect of the Hong Li Empire, versus…”

“At arena three, Nine Snakes from the Magic Golem Sect of the Hong Li Empire, versus…”

“At arena four, the Ascetic from the Magic Golem Sect of the Hong Li Empire, versus…”

“…”

This time, it was coincidental that the three commanders from the Magic Golem Sect were scheduled at the same time. They faced two opponents from the Yana United States and one from a smaller country. Before stepping onto the arena, Otto and the others looked towards viewing tower four. There, a dark silhouette slowly nodded his head.

The gesture meant, allow yourselves to unleash a massacre, to display the power of your boxing unabashedly! Only then can the limits of the four boxing methods be seen…
