The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Peak Match

The atmosphere around the arena was so crowded that morning, where so many people like to huddle up illustrating how high their enthusiasm was at the tournament's peak match that would soon be held.

Everyone felt enthusiastic, as well as those participants who had fallen where despite their steps in the tournament had to end miserably, they had to end up, this did not stop their enthusiasm to know who would be the winner of the tournament.

Of the many people with their overwhelming enthusiasm wanting to know the winner, Hao Zhao felt the same despite being a little different.

Hao Zhao was indeed enthusiastic waiting for that moment, so enthusiastic that even the turmoil around Hao Zhao's chest was already so dusty as if it was almost unstoppable.

“Yesterday night, I really wanted to finish him off. Even so, I managed to hold on to this day .. the day you would be completely destroyed for daring to put your hands on the wrong person," muttered Hao Zhao with a grin that had somehow re-appeared on his face.

Exterminating Li Kao was indeed an easy matter for Hao Zhao, but not by finishing him similarly as what Li Kao had tried to do to Jian San.

In addition, it all happened in front of Meng Dali who would definitely see it, making everything would seem so appropriate according to Hao Zhao even though he had to wait.

“Can't do anything in front of the woman you love, looking pitiful in front of the woman you love and seeing the woman you love don't care about you, how pleasant even if it was just imagining it," Hao Zhao murmured where the look in his eyes had already turned so different from his normal.

Platkk!!!

Hao Zhao had to feel a pretty loud pat on his face, where it was the hand of Yue Yie who could somehow suddenly float towards him.

“What?" Hao Zhao who could not be at all angry for some reason at Yue Yie.

“Your expression turned creepy, Brother Zhao. I was scared," Yue Yie said with a slightly trembling look in her eyes.

Hao Zhao briefly raised his brows in a clench, after which he smiled faintly before gently patting Yue Yie's head several times trying to calm her down.

“Sorry, I couldn't control myself before" Hao Zhao said, feeling strange to himself because the passionate feeling that usually only appears when the fight is now even felt when the fight has not even begun.

“Don't touch me, you're still a liar so don't act like that as if to influence me. I'm still angry, Brother Zhao," Yue Yie said, dismissing Hao Zhao's hand before throwing his face away.

Hao Zhao could only smile awkwardly, where he could only wait until the final match started.

In the midst of waiting for him Hao Zhao, Yang Gao was glancing at him with a serious expression before gesturing a hand to no one.

“The cruel side ... it's real," muttered Yang Gao afterwards.

Not long since then, Meng Kiao as the city lord had climbed up his battle arena.

Where as the ruler of the city he is the person who will be the supervisor of the peak match directly, although of course accompanied also himself by so many imperial soldiers who circled the arena considering Meng Kiao was not a swordsman.

Meng Kiao himself had a brief greeting for those present, where not long after that Meng Kiao immediately invited Li Kao and Hao Zhao to climb the arena.

Hao Zhao with his jump as usual only took a while until he finally reached the top of the arena, where only followed by Li Kao afterwards who seemed to not want to lose shot as fast as he could to get there.

“City ruler Kiao," Hao Zhao gave his greeting with a slight nod, where Meng Kiao was like still unfamiliar with this so grunted in annoyance.

“Nak Kao, you seem to have grown stronger since the last time," said Meng Kiao patting Li Kao on the shoulder.

“Of course Uncle Kiao, after all I should not be left so far away from Sister Dali who in the future will be my life companion" Li Kao said.

Meng Kiao herself just laughed out loud in response before saying, “You still haven't changed, keep fighting for my daughter like that. I'm sure there's a time when he'll open his heart to you."

“Of course Uncle Kiao," Li Kao said with a sinister smile as he glanced at Hao Zhao, as if showing off his closeness to Meng Kiao.

Hao Zhao himself saw that he suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason, so comforting he thought he saw Li Kao as if he thought of him as a rival when in fact he did not.

Not to mention seeing Meng Kiao who seemed to be so proud of Li Kao, somehow it was somewhat sad to see it in the view of Hao Zhao who had known about what Li Kao tried to do last night.

“That young man last night tried to do something bad to your daughter, Stupid," murmured Hao Zhao.

Not long after the meeting talks between Li Kao and Meng Kiao themselves finally the match began to be prepared to be held, where Meng Kiao explained the rules this time a little different from the previous round.

Both Li Kao and Hao Zhao were given one small piece of jade, which was a new defensive jade that would react to protect when its owner received a life-threatening wound.

There are no more arena limits in this top game, which means the match will continue even though the fight must be wide at the audience even though.

“Do whatever you can to make the defense jade triggered protect your opponent, those who lost his jade first will lose, do you understand?" asked Meng Kiao to Hao Zhao as well as Li Kao.

“We understand," Hao Zhao said as well as Li Kao simultaneously.

“Then the match starts!!!" meng Kiao.

Shortly after the start of the match, Hao Zhao seemed to disappear from where he was making every one of those watching wonder.

Experiencing similar confusion, Li Kao as his opponent had even turned his head to and fro to look for Hao Zhao's whereabouts but did not see the slightest trace of Hao Zhao's whereabouts in the arena.

“Where are you going, Goddamn it!!! Come and face me face to face, are you this good that you have to hide?!!" li Kao exclaimed, where he had indeed waited for an opportunity until that day to give Hao Zhao a lesson.

A moment after what Li Kao had just said, Hao Zhao out of nowhere suddenly appeared before Li Kao with his sword before slashing the sword at one of Li Kao's legs.

Slashhh!!!

“Arghhh!!!" The sound of agonizing cries rang out from Li Kao's mouth.

Where it had even fallen to its knees by then Li Kao while holding one of his legs that received a slash so deeply, made a visible wiggle followed by a bloodstains that seemed to refuse to stop flowing.

“Hey, let me ask you something. Do you even know who the young man you wanted to try to finish off that day was?" Hao Zhao whose hands had already tightly gripped Li Kao's head when whispering all that.
