Chapter 2799
Just as Gao Qijie wore a triumphant sneer, his expression abruptly froze, caught in a moment of shock!
The icy frost that had been spreading rapidly came to an unexpected halt at Kai’s feet, refusing to advance any further!
It was as if the frost feared Kai, paralyzed in its tracks!
“How could this be happening?”
A frown etched on Gao Qijie’s forehead as he let out a furious shout. A wave of cold mist erupted from his foot as he forcefully stomped down onto the ring!
The cold mist quickly began to erode the ring, causing the frost to surge forward once again!
This time, however, the frost circled around Kai, freezing the entire ring while leaving a clear space of one meter around him!
In fact, there wasn’t even a trace of frost near Kai’s feet, let alone any chance of him being immobilized!
Gao Qijie gazed at the scene before him, incredulous and perplexed!
“What the hell is going on? I should be able to trap you within this radius …”
After muttering a curse, Gao Qijie leaped into the air, launching a powerful kick aimed at Kai.
A dense cloud of cold mist filled the air, surging toward Kai!
Kai responded with a mocking laugh, his body flickering as he deftly moved from the spot he had been standing on!
Gao Qijie’s kick missed yet again!
Gao Qijie glanced at Kai and noticed that the frost had vanished from the area where Kai had just stood!
Wherever Kai went, the frost seemed to disappear, leaving Gao Qijie bewildered!
“Looks like your frost is a bit intimidated by me …”
Kai remarked playfully to Gao Qijie!
“Damn it, I refuse to believe this …”
With gritted teeth, Gao Qijie launched another furious attack at Kai!
Kai nimbly dodged each attack, often just barely avoiding being hit!
This only spurred Gao Qijie on, causing him to attack faster and faster!
In no time, Gao Qijie had unleashed hundreds of kicks, each one narrowly brushing past Kai!
The spectators watching below were on the edge of their seats, filled with anxiety.
“Oh no, why is he being so foolish? He’s so powerful at the third rank of the Harmony Realm, yet he can’t land a hit on a second rank!”
“I’m seriously losing my mind watching this; that last kick would have connected if he’d just leaned a little to the left.”
“I want to pull that guy off the stage!”
The crowd yelled in frustration, while Gao Qijie’s face flushed with embarrassment!
He wanted to keep fighting, but the rapid-fire attacks had drained a considerable amount of his spiritual energy, leaving him sweaty and panting!
“Are you going to keep fighting? If you give up, all those bets will be mine!”
Kai taunted Gao Qijie!
“Of course I’ll keep fighting! If I don’t defeat you in a few days, it would be a disgrace to the prestige of my Gao family …”
With that, Gao Qijie once again launched himself into the air, kicking at Kai!
Kai, as before, skillfully weaved to the side, evading Gao Qijie’s kick!
But just as he dodged, Gao Qijie suddenly unleashed two palms from behind his back, aiming directly at Kai!
Two waves of frigid energy surged toward him!
The air around Kai froze instantly, and a chilling blanket of ice formed in the air!
Caught off guard, Kai found himself unable to evade and was instantly encased in the icy Qi!
Seeing Kai frozen, a triumphant grin spread across Gao Qijie’s face as he exclaimed, “Hahaha, let’s see how you can hide this time!”
At that moment, Liu Ruyan shouted angrily, “You! You’re breaking your word! You said you wouldn’t use your hands, and now you have. That means you lose!”
“Exactly! Since this is a match, the rules must be followed. How can you disregard them?”
The Third Elder was equally furious!
“Hmph, this is called tactics; you wouldn’t understand! Regardless, I’m the one winning now!”
Gao Qijie brushed off Liu Ruyan and the Third Elder’s accusations, solely focused on his victory!
Though he had claimed he wouldn’t need to use his hands, he was determined to win at any cost!
