Chapter 103: Victory and Cheers

…

Mutual destruction, it was actually a move of mutual destruction.

The cheers of everyone by the drill ground stopped abruptly. In that instant, they all held their breath, as if they had forgotten what breathing was. Every single one of them had their muscles and nerves tensed up. Crazy, it was simply too crazy; he attacked with a move that aimed for mutual destruction right from the start.

Even Xiahou Huan and Qin Wei had a flash of light in their eyes, and their composed expressions froze. They never thought that Lei Qing’s fighting style would be so crazy; this was just a duel, not a life-and-death battle. They wanted to step in to stop it, but at such a distance, even a Holy Rank powerhouse would find it difficult to save them.

Li Baobao and Zuo Qianqian opened their beautiful eyes wide, their hearts almost jumping into their throats. Although they both knew clearly that Lei Qing always fought with his life on the line, but, but this was…

Everyone knew that if neither of them pulled back to defend, the outcome would likely be mutual injury and destruction.

But the one feeling the worst was Xianyu Bao. He calculated that if Lei Qing defended, he would have a series of moves to suppress him and fight him, which would allow him to win back a round. But that guy, was he crazy? Was he forcing me to defend?

Xianyu Bao’s heart pounded wildly as he saw Lei Qing shirtless, his muscles bulging, his eyes and expression filled with excitement and madness.

Almost in this flash of lightning moment, Xianyu Bao realized that this guy was a madman. He dared to bet that Lei Qing would absolutely not defend. Xianyu Bao did not want to die, and he certainly didn’t want to perish together with the madman Lei Qing.

He cursed bitterly in his heart, madman, absolute madman. He had to flick his wrist, pulling his long-handled broadsword back, waving a fire-red blade shadow.

It had to be admitted that Xianyu Bao not only had profound cultivation but also exquisite saber skills. In this extremely disadvantageous situation, he was actually able to dance the heavy long-handled broadsword so tightly that not even wind could pass through, clanging to dissolve Lei Qing’s Lightning Flash and Thunder Clap. It was evident that Xianyu Bao was not someone who relied solely on strength to make a living.

The numbness from the lightning piercing into his body, and the fact that Lei Qing was also quite strong, shocked his entire arm until it started to go numb. Moreover, being forced to defend hastily, even though he barely blocked Lei Qing’s attack, his posture on the horse became unstable, teetering on the brink of collapse.

With his strength and experience, as long as he was given a little time and space, he could easily and quickly adjust. But how could Lei Qing give him a chance to adjust?

Immediately, he shouted again, his voice like a thunderclap, his momentum like a rainbow. The silver spear danced like a swimming dragon, shaking out a series of spear glows like meteors, attacking Xianyu Bao like a violent storm.

The only thing Xianyu Bao could do was to dance his long-handled broadsword and desperately block.

Clang, clang, clang, the heavy collision sounds of the spear and saber were as heavy and distant as the evening drum and morning bell. A series of sparks erupted. The warhorses no longer galloped but circled each other in place.

In just seven or eight breaths, Lei Qing had attacked more than ten times. As for Xianyu Bao, he only had the strength to parry and dodge; where was there room for a counterattack? He was completely suppressed and couldn’t catch his breath.

“So strong!” By the drill ground, over a thousand people had gathered, all holding their breath and staring intently at this scene. That newcomer youth was actually able to completely suppress Xianyu Bao!

“Roar!”

Lei Qing became braver as he fought, his blood burning hotter and hotter. The Fighting Qi in his Qi Sea extended to every corner of his body, burning and providing Lei Qing with a continuous stream of explosive power. It made him feel as if his chest was about to burst.

He let out a fierce roar like a peerless ferocious beast. Lei Qing pulled back his spear and struck towards Xianyu Bao’s chest; the One-Character Lightning Sword, when used with a spear, was just as powerful. It was like a comet, a ray of light. So dazzling, yet so heart-palpitating.

This spear strike seemed to have merged all of Lei Qing’s experience, growth from these days, and his momentum of becoming braver as he fought today.

It was also the highest embodiment of his combat power.

Xianyu Bao’s long saber was difficult to bring back to defend. Facing that brilliant move filled with the aura of death, Xianyu Bao only felt the danger of his life ending, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

However, Xianyu Bao was also a strong person who had experienced many battles and life-and-death tempering. At this critical moment, he could still remain calm. Since it was difficult for his right hand holding the saber to return to defend and block, he extended his left hand like lightning, mimicking Lei Qing to use a grappling technique. He tried to grab the spear shaft to reduce the impact and win a chance at life.

But he still underestimated Lei Qing. That domineering and forceful move, which seemed to press forward without hesitation, was actually a feint. The spear tip moved away and soared upwards like a swimming dragon, stopping abruptly after passing over Xianyu Bao’s head.

The shaft of the silver spear trembled. Suddenly, the silver spear chopped down from above, mixed with rumbling thunder and lightning.

Lei Qing actually used One-Character Lightning as a feint to connect with a Bolt from the Blue.

Xianyu Bao, who was already in a very disadvantageous situation, had nowhere to hide and nowhere to dodge. The only thing he could do was turn his body slightly to avoid being hit on the head by the spear.

With a heavy “pa” sound, the silver spear shaft heavily struck Xianyu Bao’s shoulder. Even with his excellent defense, his shoulder blade was almost shattered, causing extreme pain, and most of his body went numb.

The spear shaft swung to the right and suddenly whipped towards Xianyu Bao, mercilessly sweeping across his arm. His originally unstable posture could not withstand such an impact; he flipped over and was swept off his horse.

His arm and shoulder blade were fractured, but Xianyu Bao still stood up with a pale face, performing a flip. However, the tip of Lei Qing’s silver spear was already pointing at his neck, and the spear glow was like a snake’s tongue, pressing against his thick neck.

“You lost.” The excitement and madness on Lei Qing’s face vanished in an instant, and his tone became calm and composed.

Xianyu Bao’s face was pale; he never expected it. Even after Lei Qing let him have three moves, he still lost. For a moment, he couldn’t accept it and stood there blankly.

“Roar, roar, roar!” The soldiers watching from the surroundings roared to vent the trembling excitement in their hearts; many people’s necks had become thick and their faces red from shouting.

The battle between the two just now was truly wonderful and full of ups and downs. In any army, the strong are respected and worshipped. They were willing to cheer for him, to cheer for the victor.

Li Baobao, who had been clenching her pink fists tightly with her heart almost jumping out of her throat, saw that Lei Qing had finally won. Her entire delicate body suddenly relaxed, and excitement mixed with a pleasure that made her heart and body tremble washed over her in waves. It made her cheeks flush red, and she shouted as if to vent: “Young General is mighty, Young General is mighty. Lei Qing, Lei Qing, Lei Qing. I love you to death. Everyone shout with me, Lei Qing, Lei Qing.”

“Lei Qing! Lei Qing!”

First, some soldiers not far from Li Baobao started shouting along with her. Then, like a wildfire meeting a withered plain, it quickly spread.

The voices shouting for Lei Qing soon spread across the entire drill ground like a wildfire. The voices shouting Lei Qing, shouting Young General, became more and more unified, like a tide surging forward. The high-spirited sounds seemed to shatter the earth and the sky.

The battle Lei Qing fought just now plunged them into excitement and madness. They cheered and shouted to vent the wild and restless excitement in their hearts.

Lei Qing, shirtless, rode his horse at a small pace and began to circle the field. He raised his silver spear high and waved to the soldiers around the drill ground.

The victor had the right to accept cheers and worship.

“Good kid, really not bad.” Xiahou Huan smiled with relief, turned to the expressionless Qin Wei and said: “Brother-in-law, this nephew of mine is decent enough, right? He won’t disgrace the reputation of your Spear Saint lineage, right?”

“Hmph, after you arrange things, let him come find me.” Qin Wei walked away with his hands behind his back. But after a few steps, he stopped: “Also, I will truthfully tell your sister about the statement that ‘a young man not being romantic is a waste of his youth’.”

“Hey, hey~ you can’t be so heartless, right?” Xiahou Huan had a bitter face and wanted to chase after him, but Qin Wei disappeared in a few leaps.

…

Lei Qing rode Wuzhui and walked to the front of Zuo Qianqian and Li Baobao, extending his hand. At this moment, Li Baobao actually acted shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she lowered her head, pretending to play with her sleeves.

Zuo Qianqian, of course, grabbed his hand without hesitation. Lei Qing gently pulled her up and placed her on the back of the horse behind him. They had ridden in this posture many times, so they were familiar with it. Her little face was also a little red, but mostly because of excitement. Shouting and cheering earlier had completely released her emotions.

Habitually, she clasped her hands around Lei Qing’s waist. Her little face pressed excitedly against his back: “Brother Lei, you are so amazing. You beat that local leopard so hard he had no power to fight back.”

Seeing this, Li Baobao pouted her lips in anger, stomped her foot hard, and said: “Qianqian, how can you… in front of everyone… ah!”

Before she could finish speaking, Lei Qing quickly leaned down, directly hugged her slender waist, and lifted her onto the horse, facing forward, with her back leaning against his chest.

“Lei Qing, let me go.” Li Baobao’s pretty face was flushed red with shame, and she struggled constantly on the horse. Her back kept rubbing against Lei Qing’s bare chest.

Seeing the scene of Lei Qing dealing with the woman domineeringly, the soldiers around the drill ground let out roars again. However, this time, it was mixed with many mischievous laughs. They cast envious and worshipping looks at Lei Qing.

Lei Qing hugged her waist, pulled her heavily into his embrace, leaned close to her crystal-clear earlobe which still had fine fuzz, and whispered: “Li Baobao, if you keep struggling and rubbing, provoking me until I burn with desire and lose control to do something worse than a beast, don’t blame me, okay?”
