Infinite Slaughter System: I Kill, Therefore I Ascend!-Chapter 214: The Round of 8, Li Ling Versus Wang Feng!

"Final match of the Round of 8, Li Ling versus Wang Feng!"

Li Ling disappeared from where he stood and appeared on the stage the next moment, using spatial traversal. Meanwhile, his foe, Wang Feng, wore an expression that was part ferocity and part tension, because he was not entirely sure of his chances.

Previously, he had harbored combative thoughts because of his Dao Heart, which he didn’t dare to let weaken in the face of Li Ling’s superiority. However, it was one thing to pass tough comments in your head and another to stand against this monster, and Wang Feng had been contemplating his chances ever since Shen Jian and Bei Dongshi were called, knowing that the last match could only be them.

Meanwhile, the crowd was rather hyped about it.

"Wowhoo, Asura Blood madmen pitted against each other! This is going to be fun!"

"It’s the Rapist Killer versus the Asura War Demon, who will come out on top?!"

"Huh, Rapist Killer? How sure are you that his female partners were forced?"

"Look at that fellow’s face, do you think anyone will agree?"

"...Good point."

Meanwhile, the Hall Masters of the Lower Six Halls were a bit tense seeing this new matchup, especially Tang Huo. While Wang Feng was not his disciple or anything, he still favored the young man climbing higher and occupying a spot in the middle layer.

But if this damned freak Li Ling got his crummy hands on him, that would be the end of it all!

As for the Path Saints, they were less involved, with some even having the time to pass jokes.

"Oi, madman Sha, aren’t you going to do something? You know that Asura War brat is going to kill the other one, right? That’s a loss for your hall," Path Saint Pang Po asked casually, stuffing her face with some pork trotters.

Meanwhile, Sha Ren maintained his cold posture with his arms folded, his eyes casually turned down to regard the stage. His demeanor didn’t change at the question, and he answered without even turning his head away.

"If he dies, he dies."

The Divine Deva Overseers left the stage and floated to the side, glancing at the two intensely before raising a hand to activate the formation and closing off the arena, signaling the start of the match.

Whoosh!

Wang Feng instantly manifested his special Blood Power, which contained flecks of black light that had intense corrosive effects compared to normal Blood Power, coating it around him defensively as he entered a battle stance.

But Li Ling remained casual, sizing the fellow up and feeling amused.

"Well, it’s certain now. Since I somehow managed to get matched with you, my little experiment was a success, and I can safely say that I am the protagonist of this world," Li Ling said, mostly to himself, a look of satisfaction on his face as he held his chin in hand.

Hah?

Most spectators were confused by what he was saying, especially Wang Feng, who was completely puzzled, but Li Ling offered no explanation.

Without even manifesting his own Blood Power or Dharma Power, nor any Daoist art, the young man calmly walked toward his opponent, his hands behind his back while a playfully malicious smile was on his face.

Wang Feng tensed and watched for any sudden moves, knowing that this bastard had the ability to use spatial element powers, so his senses were completely focused, watching for any movement whatsoever.

But even when Li Ling entered a distance of fifteen meters from him, there was still no sudden movement, and Wang Feng looked into Li Ling’s eyes. Immediately, he understood from those amused dark blue pupils that he was being toyed with!

Li Ling was... he was actually walking him down!

Immediately, caution flew to the wind as rage flooded Wang Feng’s mind, causing his eyes to become severely bloodshot as he roared and struck forward with a powerful blow, condensing his Blood Power into a torrent to strike Li Ling’s chest!

However, the torrent didn’t seem to ’hit’ Li Ling, or rather, it somehow passed through him, sploshing through his heart area and emerging behind him.

The crowd gasped in shock, thinking that Li Ling had been run through by Wang Feng’s attack, and even with the greatest healing methods, having one’s heart and lung area hollowed out was sure to lead to death.

"Impossible!"

"What, just like that, he’s dead?!"

"Why the hell was he so foolish?!"

Many stood to their feet, unable to hide their shock at what they felt was the greatest upset in the sect’s—no, the entire cultivation world’s—history!

Tang Huo’s eyes widened like copper bells as he breathed heavily like a vehicle in motion, his heart pumping crazily as he felt excitement at being granted a second lease on life. Meanwhile, the Path Saints all displayed different expressions, with Sha Ren narrowing his eyes and stiffening in place.

But those in the upper rows remained seated and calm, their eyes flashing with interest at what they were seeing.

Cao Xian stood up in shock, thinking to herself that it was a good thing they hadn’t rushed to pledge themselves to Li Ling. Now that he had foolishly let himself be killed, who knew how many vultures would descend upon his newly formed ’Infinite Slaughter Li Clan’?

Shi Gaolin’s face was full of disdain, thinking that after all that showing off, Li Ling had actually let himself be killed by a bastard who couldn’t control his mental state properly. How shameful!

Shen Jian’s face changed, becoming extremely complicated as he glanced at his aunt, Shen Ziyan. He saw that her pupils had constricted to needle points, and even though she remained seated in a stately manner, her body was faintly trembling.

Hu Lili punched her palm in lament. "Damn, he died? Now I won’t get to fight him! That’s so lame!"

Bai Yegui glanced at Li Ling, his eyes narrowing as he didn’t say anything. He knew very well how crazy Li Ling was in battle and the games he liked to play. He was a person who liked to torment and bully his foes, so Bai Yegui knew this was a play.

Bei Dongshi was also calm, glancing upward and unable to help muttering under his breath, "How cruel..."

Bai Ruyi was also quite calm, still feeling her Heavenly Oath with Li Ling, coupled with her knowledge of his cruelty, which was even more intimate than what Bai Yegui thought he knew.

As for Wang Feng, he was initially shocked into speechlessness, not really expecting his attack to work but attacking nonetheless out of indignation and fury. However, seeing that he had taken down his foe, his body began to tremble as laughter escaped his lips, slow at first but soon thunderous and full of joy.

"Hahaha! Li Ling, you filthy piece of trash, how dare you look down on me! Now look at you, dead as a dog and vanquished by me, Wang Feng! Hahahaha!"

As he laughed crazily, his bloodshot eyes widening, Li Ling opposite him still retained his amused expression, which slowly faded after Wang Feng spoke.

"What did you call me?" Li Ling asked slowly and dangerously, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Wang Feng, assuming that Li Ling was only alive due to his strong vitality, remained excited as he pointed at Li Ling’s face. "I said you are a piece of overhyped trash, Li Ling! You are worthless compared to all the noise you made, and after you keel over, I will happily inherit your lovely wife and daughter to play with for eternity! Hahaha!"

Li Ling closed his eye and breathed out slowly.

"I wanted to play with you a bit, but sigh, I have such thin skin and can’t handle being insulted by inferior creatures, even as a joke. You can die now, you stupid retard."

After opening his eye and saying this, Li Ling did not give Wang Feng the chance to retort before he took a step and appeared beside the fellow, grabbing Wang Feng’s face with his hand and pushing it down toward the arena floor.

KOOOM!

Wang Feng didn’t understand anything. One moment, his heart was surging with joy at his victory, and the next, he was dazed in excruciating pain, his head pressed to the ground and the world becoming black around him.

Li Ling sneered and stood up, raising a leg to press the bottom of his shoe against Wang Feng’s face, keeping him pinned to the ground.

"You, who can only live under my boot, actually dare to insult me and gloat before me? Time for a reality check, my friend," Li Ling intoned slowly, pressing his leg down and crushing Wang Feng’s head like a watermelon, splashing his brain matter all over the stage.

It was only now that the crowd had time to react to what had just occurred, which was like a heavenly reversal for those long ignorant of the truth, while being simply an interesting ending to this ’bout’ for those in the know.
