Silence descended upon the crowd once again.
It was a silence that was as still as death.
The slightest breath became deafening and almost piercing to the ear.
Everything had happened too quickly.
Mr He was dumbstruck. He was still caught in a daze. He had not caught how Liu Qing had pulled off a counterattack in the nick of time, turned the tables on Luo Heng and driven him out of the arena.
According to the rules, one was defeated when he or she fell off the arena.
Liu Chuandao was equally stupefied. He shot to his feet and stared unblinkingly at Liu Qing. The solemn look on his face transformed gradually as a smile appeared on his face. He burst out into laughter without any warning.
The disciples in the audience were gaping. They could fit an entire chicken egg in their open mouths. It took them a long while to recover from their shock.
Luo Heng...had been defeated.
He had not gone down in a fight. But he had been driven off the arena. That was more humiliating than being defeated by Liu Qing's attacks.
He had been invincible a moment ago. He had been crowing with triumph.
But now, he had lost.
Luo Heng got to his feet and stared stupidly at Liu Qing, who was still standing in the arena.
He was still replaying the final move that Liu Qing had made.
Had he...lost?
He couldn't believe it. He had lost!
He couldn't accept his defeat. His face flushed instantly.
The scene of Liu Qing unleashing her last move played in his head. The speed at which she had moved had been incredible. Her speed wasn't the only thing that caught his attention. He had a feeling that that move had been designed to defeat him.
This...was simply incredible.
"That move..." Luo Heng thought for a long moment before he finally pulled his mind back to the present. He was still disgruntled, but he was a lot calmer than he had been a moment ago.
He stared at Liu Qing, then murmured. "Who taught you that move?”
Luo Heng didn't believe that Liu Qing was capable of coming up with such a move on her own.
She had been pretending from the start. She had set a trap for him and lured him right into it. She had fought the way that Luo Heng had expected her to fight.
