Chapter 255 Advancement in advance
In the fierce battle, Shen Xing fell into an unprecedented dilemma.
Snake Princess's attack was as fierce as the tide, and every blow seemed to devour him.
Just when he was about to be completely defeated by this powerful force, Shen Xing made an unexpected move - he closed his eyes.
This action was not out of despair or giving up, but rather a manifestation of Shen Xing's wisdom in finding opportunities for survival in desperate situations.
He knew that it was difficult to win against the Snake Queen head-on, and the only way to reverse the situation was to find another way. So, he used his keen hearing and excellent positioning ability to judge the attack trajectory of the Snake Queen based on the changes in sound and resolved them one by one.
Seeing this, She Ji was shocked. She had never seen anyone block her attack so accurately with their eyes closed. This was simply a great contempt for her strength.
With anger and unwillingness intertwined, Snake Queen decided to use a more ruthless method. She opened her red lips slightly, a crisp whistle sounded, and countless tiny snake shadows attacked Shen Xing like a black storm.
On the ring, the duel between Shen Xing and Snake Princess has reached a fever pitch. Shen Xing closed his eyes and concentrated, with the wind whistling in his ears. Every attack from Snake Princess turned into a sharp sound of breaking through the air, directly hitting his auditory nerves.
He moved his body slightly, and with his almost perfect hearing, he narrowly avoided fatal blows time and time again, causing exclamations from the audience.
"Hmph, do you think you can escape my control by closing your eyes?" Snake Queen sneered, with a hint of arrogance in her voice. She waved her hands lightly, and those tiny snake shadows seemed to have received orders and pounced on Shen Xing even more frantically.
Shen Xing's heart trembled, but he did not retreat. Instead, he became more determined to fight back.
He took a deep breath and quickly formed seals with his hands. Then, a bright red strip of cloth flew out from his sleeves, like a meteor across the night sky, and accurately wrapped around his eyes.
"Under the stars, nothing can escape!"
Shen Xing shouted in a low voice, and as the cloth covered his eyes, he could faintly feel the starlight gathering around him, as if the power of the stars in the entire night sky was gathered in him. At this moment, he was no longer fighting only by hearing, but connected himself with the stars, reaching a whole new realm.
Seeing this, the snake princess' pupils shrank suddenly, and she felt an unprecedented threat. But she did not give up, instead she drove the little snakes to attack more frantically, trying to drown Shen Xing before he could complete his counterattack.
However, Shen Xing is no longer the warrior who can only passively defend.
He suddenly opened his eyes. Although they were covered by a red cloth, there seemed to be stars twinkling in his eyes, revealing a frightening power. He rose up suddenly, like a falling star, and rushed towards Snake Queen with the momentum of destroying everything.
"Starfall!"
Shen Xing roared, and pushed with both hands. A bright starlight poured out like a meteor shower, instantly smashing the small snakes to pieces. Wherever the starlight passed, it left a trail of charred marks, demonstrating its terrifying power.
Snake Princess's face changed drastically. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The star strike seemed to have eyes, accurately locking onto her and enveloping her completely.
With a shrill scream, Snake Queen was knocked out and fell heavily on the edge of the ring, unable to get up for a while.
"I won!" Shen Xing stood there, gasping for breath, but his tone was full of determination and pride. He slowly took off the red cloth on his eyes, revealing a pair of bright and deep eyes, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world.
Thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the audience. People were shocked by Shen Xing's amazing performance and even more moved by his indomitable spirit.
Snake Queen lay on the ring, looking at Shen Xing's determined back, with both unwillingness and admiration in her eyes.
She knew that she had been defeated, completely defeated.
The night was deep and peaceful. After an exhausting battle, Shen Xing was finally able to fall asleep in the gentle embrace of the mansion. His dreams were filled with the wonders of stars and sword shadows intertwined.
At the same time, the mysterious God of Destiny quietly descended upon Shen Xing's residence. His eyes fell gently on Shen Xing's sleeping face, and he opened his thin lips and whispered, "Father..."
This name contains deep affection and complexity that transcends time and space, as if it has uncovered a long-forgotten past.
Lord Xingzhi slowly stretched out his hand, and a soft light appeared on his palm. It was his unique healing power, which gently covered Shen Xing's body, healing his battle wounds and taking away his mental fatigue.
When the first ray of morning light penetrated the clouds and gently sprinkled into the room, Shen Xing slowly woke up, feeling unprecedented relaxation and comfort in his body.
He was surprised to find that all the scars from yesterday's battle had disappeared, as if they had never existed. This sudden surprise filled him with doubts and puzzlement.
With this doubt, Shen Xing hurried to the Bi Cang Palace to find Sister Shen Li for answers.
Shen Li, this heroic woman, was immersed in deep thought about weapons and martial arts. Hearing the purpose of Shen Xing's visit, she shook her head slightly, indicating that she was not aware of it.
However, there was a strange light in Shen Li's eyes, as if there was something hidden in her eyes.
"By the way, today was originally the day of our competition." Shen Li suddenly changed the subject, with a somewhat apologetic tone, "But I decided to give up the competition. I need time to study in depth the weapon used by Fang Sheng who fought against me that day. The power and mystery contained in it make me unable to let it go."
Shen Xing felt regretful when he heard this, but he also understood Shen Li's decision.
He slowly said goodbye to Shen Li and set out on the journey to the competition venue.
The arena was filled with people and the atmosphere was heated. Masters from all walks of life gathered together, ready to fight for the supreme glory.
Shen Xing stepped into the room, and quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for the figure who was supposed to be his opponent today - Fang Sheng. However, looking around, he could not see any trace of him.
With an ominous premonition in his heart, Shen Xing quickly walked towards the staff of the martial arts competition and politely asked about Fang Sheng's situation.
Upon hearing this, the staff member showed a hint of surprise on his face, and then explained:
"Oh, contestant Fang Sheng, he didn't come to fight. According to our understanding, he may have chosen to give up the match with you because he had already advanced."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing frowned slightly, and more doubts and confusions arose in his heart.
He further asked:
"Then why did he advance early? Is it because his record is very good?"
The staff nodded, with a bit of admiration in his tone:
"Indeed, Fang Sheng performed extremely well in this competition. He topped the list with 90 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses, and 3 automatic wins due to opponents' withdrawal. He has already secured a spot in the second round. His strength and tactics are amazing. He can be said to be a highlight of this competition."
Hearing this, Shen Xing felt even more mixed emotions. He expressed sincere admiration for Fang Sheng's strength, but also felt sorry for not being able to compete with such a strong man.
He looked up at the towering arena in the center of the arena. It had witnessed the glory and honor of countless heroes, but at this moment it seemed to be silently telling the legend of Fang Sheng.
Shen Xing took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil.
He understood that although he missed the direct confrontation with Fang Sheng, it did not mean that he would stop there. On the contrary, it further stimulated his inner fighting spirit and determination.
He secretly vowed to work harder to practice and improve his strength, so that one day in the future he could face Fang Sheng head-on in the arena and decide who was better.
