Once she spoke, the few people did not dare to shout loudly anymore. They had agitated expressions on and were all cheering on for Molise.
Shen Qianshu thought, Meng Qi, you really have to hold it up.
Did this brat preserve his real abilities the last time I fought with him? And he was beaten so pathetically by me. Did he do it on purpose so he could act pitifully to Master? Yes, it was possible. This calculative boy!!!!!
Molise and Meng Qi were agents that were very well-versed with close-combat fights. Blows flew by one by one, and it was hard to tell which blows belonged to which person. Meng Qi kicked Molise, sending her flying. She almost fell off the boxing ring, which was two meters high. She fell off half-way, with one hand still hooking on to the side of the boxing ring. With a spurt of strength, she flew up again and landed stably on the stage.
Shen Qianshu said, “What the heck, this young girl’s Qi Gong is amazing!”
Meng Qi did not give her any opportunity to breathe. His body slid on the boxing ring, and his footwork was impressive. As soon as Molise came up, her abdomen was kicked by Meng Qi. Molise collapsed on the boxing ring, and Meng Qi threw an elbow over, pinning her onto the ground directly. Molise took this chance, and a murderous feel immediately surfaced. With both of her legs, she pinned Meng Qi’s waist and flipped him over.
The two were like a human pyramid. After several rounds of blows, they rolled to the side of the boxing ring. The lower section was filled with cheers. Suddenly, a cold flash glinted. Shen Qianshu narrowed her eyes and stood up immediately!
Molise had a small dagger in her hands. She kneeled on the boxing ring, her gaze cold and stern. There was a smear of red blood on the dagger. Meng Qi clutched his abdomen, his fingertips overflowing with fresh blood.
Molise’s gaze was cold as a knife, and a cold smile flitted across her lips. She suddenly stood up and pounced over. Shen Qianshu shouted sternly. “Stop it!”
Shen Qianshu’s anger was burning within her, yet she kept warning herself that she could not get mad. Everyone’s eyes were on her and the boxing ring. No one thought that Molise would suddenly use a knife.
“Since it’s a competition, stop when it’s enough. Who permitted you to use a dagger?”
Molise smiled. “Gatekeeper, Black Rose’s contests never stop when it’s enough. Also, there is no rule against using daggers, right?”
The Black Rose agents’ rules had always been like this. Shen Qianshu’s gaze darkened, and a dreadful thought emerged. They were indeed using the competition to kill her. Even though she won against Meng Qi the last time, she had exhausted everything that she had learned, and she did not know if Meng Qi had allowed her to win on purpose. If she were to go up and fight them one by one, with Molise brandishing the dagger, she might not have dodged that knife.
Meng Qi had dodged quickly, yet he was slashed by her.
Molise’s expression had a bloody smile on it. Victory was in her hands. As long as she beat Meng Qi, Shen Qianshu would definitely have to go onto the stage. If Meng Qi lost, she had no reason to not go up.
Otherwise, her authority amongst the Black Rose agents would be gone.
Shen Qianshu sat down slowly, having calmed down. “I did not know that this was a life-or-death contest. Meng Qi, don’t restrain yourself. Any deaths will be on my count.”
“Yes!”
Meng Qi removed his hands and did not care about the wound on his abdomen. Molise also knew to attack during the brief victory and went over, waving her dagger. Every move was life-threatening. Meng Qi kept evading and searching for opportunities, his fresh blood dripping onto the boxing ring.
Molise aimed the dagger at his abdomen on purpose. Meng Qi kept dodging backward and was already standing at the edge of the boxing ring. He arched back slightly, dodging the sharp dagger that slid across his face, almost slicing his face. Meng Qi’s body was arched at a formidable angle, and Shen Qianshu was amazed at his flexibility, like a bow full of strength.
