Chapter: The second round was a challenge where the losing team had to pick a member to face the highest-scoring player on the winning team. Originally, the highest scorer on their side was Xu Huo, but as soon as Double Head's score came up, he had to accept the challenge.
"Haha!" Double Head himself noticed this too. He turned back to Xu Huo and the others with a confident grin before looking at the losing team. "Who's coming up?"
The one who stepped forward was a female player from their team. She immediately took off her jacket, revealing well-proportioned, toned muscles. She smiled at Double Head and said, "Someone has to die in this round. I hope it's you."
Double Head smirked slightly. "What a coincidence. Great minds think alike."
The moment the words left his mouth, he shot forward like a tiger, his right fist clenched and aimed straight at the female player's face. She raised her arm to block, not retreating an inch, and with a push from her legs, she shoved him back. At the same time, she pursued him, swinging a palm toward the side of his head.
Double Head retreated tactically, adding a low kick aimed at her, but unexpectedly felt a sting on his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of her suddenly elongated fingers. Frowning, he released a spinning windmill from his hand.
A strong gale immediately swept across the arena, kicking up dust that stung their eyes. Taking advantage of the cover, he retreated to apply an antidote, then moved like a slithering snake through the hazy yellow dust.
Unable to see clearly, players could still gauge their surroundings through perception, so the female player wasn't afraid. Locking onto a position, she kicked up several small stones in succession, intending to disrupt Double Head's trajectory. But to her surprise, the stones didn't hit anyone, and she suddenly felt the person who had been standing to her left vanish!
Her expression shifted. The next second, Double Head appeared silently behind her, wrapping his arms around her head at lightning speed.
It seemed the woman had no way out, but he suddenly froze in place, his eyes going blank for an instant.
"Screech!" Fingernails scraped loudly against a defense barrier. The woman's attack missed, and she quickly drew two short blades from her waist, stabbing fiercely through Double Head's defense barrier.
By then, Double Head had snapped back to reality. Seeing the blades inches away, he leaned back and shouted, "Watch out for hidden weapons!"
The female player reflexively dodged to the side, only to realize it was a feint. She yanked off her earring, and the water-drop-shaped metal accessory shot out like a bullet, curving to chase Double Head and piercing through his shoulder!
Double Head's movement faltered slightly, but the next moment, he used his agility to swiftly move to her side. Dodging another strike, he twisted his legs around her right foot and flipped her to the ground. At the same time, a blade ejected from an instrument strapped to his calf directly pierced through her leg bone.
The female player let out a muffled groan but didn't hesitate. She pulled hard, letting the blade cut through her calf, and rolled away, swinging her short blade toward Double Head's throat!
