Chapter 249 Grace of Blood
On the arena, Qin Hao saw Shadow’s sharp claw going to Liu Yan’s head. He stood up immediately but stopped before he rushed out.

“Ah!”

A woman’s scream. People all thought it was from Liu Yan. Li Zhanwu and other people of the Sky Group were so surprised that they all stood up.

However, to all their surprise, the scream came from not Liu Yan but Shadow.

Upon touching Liu Yan’s hair, Shadow turned around and flew back, falling on the other side of the arena. At that moment she had a few silver needles stuck in her hand. At least two of them pierced through her fingers.

The fact was that Liu Yan put the silver needles gave and taught by Qin Hao in her hair. Shadow’s claw made the silver needles stuck in her hands immediately.

“Little sister.” Long Taibai was so anxious that he stood up immediately and almost rushed out. However, Shadow cast her eyes on him, telling him not to move. He stopped. At a loss for seconds, he sat back with helplessness while his face brimmed with concern and worry.

People of the Dragon Group all knew well Long Taibai’s character. They had never seen him be so nervous and worried about someone. Who was that masked woman on the stage? Which little sister of his was she? They were curious.

On the arena, Shadow looked at the silver needles on her hands. She frowned slightly and before she was just ready to pull out the needles, the crack of the whip had hit.

With her agile dodge, the whip brushed the veil and lifted one corner of it, revealing part of her amazing appearance inside. Unfortunately, when people on the grandstand wanted to see clearly, the veil had already been closed, making them sigh with regret.

As Shadow was dodging the whip, she swung the hand with silver needles struck toward the front.

“Whew…” Those few silver needles that were stuck in her hand all became her hidden weapons and were shot to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan hastily brought back her whip. “Papapa!” A whip wall was formed as she was shaking the whip and shot down the silver needles flying towards her.

“You have made me use a sword and you can smile in the hell.” Shadow yelled. “Hum.” With the sound, Shadow reached out a soft sword from her waist. With the momentum of thunder, she broke Liu Yan’s whip wall and her sword point rolled on the whip like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue.

The speed was so fast that it was too late for Liu Yan to react, and the tip of the sword rolled over her palm in a moment. It was too late to retreat, and the only way was to drop the whip.

However, Qin Hao gave her the whip, and she was unwilling to throw it away. And if there was no weapon, she would not be able to fight.

If she didn’t give up, she had to give up one hand, but Qin Hao gave it to her. For a Martial Cultivator, abandoning weapons meant to give up life, so she would rather be crippled than gave up weapons.

With such a thought in mind, though, Liu Yan had been trained in the special troop. With risks approaching, she reacted out of the instinct, which was beyond her brain. She gave up the whip and jumped back immediately so that she avoided the fierce sword rushing towards her like a viper.

Weapons left her hands and the crowd in the grandstand whispered. It had been very clear that Liu Yan lost.

The Dragon group people all laughed, but they were a lot more cautious this time. They were not that blatant and high-profile like before. After all, the previous two examples were there. They had advantages and yet the result was reversed. They hoped that this time Shadow would not repeat such a mistake.

Only Long Taibai knew that Shadow wouldn’t repeat such mistakes. As a top-class killer, it was impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake. What was more, the strength difference between the two people was too huge. It could be said that Shadow had absolute power. Facing with absolute power, all means were meaningless, no matter how skillful they were.

Shadow was then holding Liu Yan’s long whip. She grew more surprised, “What a good whip! I cannot imagine that you are using such an excellent weapon.”

“Give me my whip!” Liu Yan lost her whip and rushed up while yelling with anger. What greeted her was the vicious whip towards her.

“Pa!”

“Ah!”

Liu Yan was whipped out in the air. She crashed on the floor with clothes broken. Her snowy skin showed a shocking bloody wound.

“Want your whip back? Ok, see if you can make it.” Shadow stared coldly at Liu Yan on the floor, playing with the whip which was just grabbed from her.

The whip was well made, and its length could be adjusted. She had no chance to use such a good weapon, but it was in the hand of Liu Yan, such a low-level Martial Cultivator. She could not understand.

“Give up. We give up.” On the grandstand, Li Zhanwu had to stand up and shout to admit defeat. This was his second time to stand up and shout to admit defeat. For a general like him, he felt ashamed.

But the situation forced him to do so. In order to preserve the few talents of the Sky Group, he had to make sacrifice.

“Damn. It is so hard for me.” General Li felt so sad and plaintive.

“You have given up. You still want a fight?” On the arena, Shadow said indifferently.

Liu Yan struggled to stand up. She did not care about Shadow’s words. She opened her eyes widely and yelled with anger again, “Give me my whip.” With the yell, she rushed out without fear of death. She was determined to take back her whip, the gift from her instructor.

“I will kill you for help!” Shadow had a cold look, waved the whip.

“Papapa…”

With Shadow’s power, the whip was waved at a speed, which was impossible for Liu Yan to dodge, let alone Liu Yan did not even think of dodging. She rushed towards the whip instead.

Liu Yan again fell on the ground. This time she had more than a wound on her body. Her clothes were almost all torn, revealing the scenery inside. Of course, no one was interested in enjoying the scenery at present. What they saw was the bloody wound of the whip.

Blood dyed her clothes red and left bloody patches on the ground.

People just did not understand. Li Zhanwu had called for giving up. Why she still rushed to Shadow without fear of death? Was that whip more important than her life?

“Qin Hao, what shall we do?” Li Zhanwu saw that Liu Yan did not want to leave the platform. He looked at Qin Hao hopelessly.

Qin Hao looked at the Liu Yan on the arena and had a long sigh, “Alas… She should be proud that she has fought against Shadow with huge differences in power. Why is she so resolute?”

“Damn. Qin Hao, don’t make a sign right now. Figure out a solution. Or Liu Yan will be whipped to death!” Li Zhanwu nearly jumped with anxiety. He wished that he could be as powerful as Qin Hao so that he could rush there and drag Liu Yan down directly.

On the arena, Liu Yan struggled to stand up again. She just stood there with blood on her body. The wind blew up her hair and bloody clothes.

At that moment, she stood there and all the people on the grandstand were shocked by her elegant demeanor. How could such a seemingly weak woman have actually an even stronger character and heart than men!

Shadow also felt shocked. She looked at Liu Yan with a little admiration. Liu Yan, as a woman, was excellent by being so tough.

“I said, give me my whip.” Liu Yan wiped the blood in her mouth corner. Her words were full of unbelievable resolution. In her eyes, her look was so resolute that no one would doubt her determination of bringing back her whip. She would take back her whip even at the sacrifice of her life.

“As a woman, I admire you very much. You deserve to die at my hand.” The word fell and her white hand waved. The powerful internal strength drove the whip, which cracked and made sharp sound piercing the air. It was turned into a crack in the void, furiously sweeping to the opposite gentle and graceful body.

“Ah!”

The girl had most shockingly cried from her chest. She did not dodge but opened her arms to face the whip sweeping towards her.

“Boom!”

Numerous people on the grandstand exclaimed. What was she doing? Suicide?

In the surprised eyes of people, Liu Yan caught the whip, but her whole body was whipped up, following the whip flying in the air like a helpless leaf and letting the wind blow her to the unknown place.

Shadow suddenly felt her weight in her hands. While seeing Liu Yan holding the whip and refusing to let it go, she became serious. She struggled to whip Liu Yan to the edge of the arena.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

“Crash.”

The guard bars on the edge of the arena were all destroyed like dust. They were all destroyed by Liu Yan’s weak body.

As a result of such a heavy knock, she had an internal injury and her mouth was bleeding. Her blood flew with the whip in the air. The blood flower flew and fell everywhere like blossoming charming red plum, withering with the sad and tragic beauty. All these made her grace of blood.

“Let it go! Let it go!”

Someone was shouting on the stand.

However, the bloody woman still did not give up and let it go. She was still clinging to the whip, letting the whip knocking her against the fence and the floor.

Seeing this scene, even the Dragon Group felt so shocked and moved. Long Taibai felt so impressed.

Was this the Sky Group?

The Sky Group had been set up for merely two months and they had such strong wills and unyielding spirit.

If letting them grow, that would be horrible.

In this sense, compared with the Sky Group, the Dragon Group was much worse. This was a right decision to wipe out the Sky Group as soon as possible today.

Long Taibai stared at Qin Hao at the moment. He was just waiting for Qin Hao’s movement. Once he acted, the Dragon Group’s slaughter would immediately start and let the blood dye the ground.

Qin Hao did not let him down. He had rushed from the grandstand to the arena.

Long Taibai stood immediately, made a cold yell, “Listen to my order, slaughter!”

“Yes!” The people behind responded loudly. Waiting for so long, they could finally act.

Then a man released the signal. Three signal flares flew to the sky with a sharp scream.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The signal flares exploded in the air with a huge roar, and out of the roar came beautiful flowers in the air. However, the beauty of this moment was leading to the opening of the bloody curtain.

The audience had been attracted by the arena and the explosion in the air diverted their attention. They looked up at the blooming flowers in the sky and in their eyes, there were questions: What was going on?
