The bright lights blarred on her face as she stood in the middle of the ring. Everything happened in slow motion when she saw Sun Bin run and throw his entire body at her. Considering his weight he would have easily crushed a person under him with that move but unfortunately for him it was a foolish mistake against her. While she had not attacked him she had shown enough skills for Sun Bin to realise she was not a weak, target he thought she was. His arrogance and stupidity is what led to his downfall today. Calculating the time and angle of her attack she decided to end the battle in one last move. As Sun Bin's body approached her from slightly above she stepped aside and waited till he had dropped further down to execute her strike. Lifting up her leg, she jumped slightly and brought it down forcefully against his neck. Following the body she landed on her knees with his still body beneath her.
The once loud crowd was quiet as they saw this unexpected change. Zo paled on the side as he saw what had happened. 'Did...did she just kill him? With one move?' His heart strummed strongly against his chest as fear creeped up on him. He had pinned her against Sun Bin sure that he would be able to get his revenge while having front row seats to her beat down. Yet now everything was opposite! She had casually taken down their previous champion in such a swift action and possibly killed him. Nervously picking up the mic he cleared his throat multiple times before he could speak. "As...as spoken before...m-murder was not allowed. Viper you are disqualified."
"Disqualified? Murder?," a deep hoarse voice responded. A cold laugh left her mouth as a shiver ran down everyones' spines. "I did not kill him, check for yourself..." Standing aside from the unconcious body she waited for the cages to retreat and a stand-by doctor to check his pulse. The audience watched eagerly as the doctor approached the body. The old thin man reached down and held Sun Bin's wrist. Feeling a pulse he took out his stethoscope to hear his heartbeat for double confirmation. Pulling away from the body the old doctor spoke "he is not dead, only unconscious." Hearing those words the constrained crowd let out a noise and cheers followed. People were shocked, he did it! He took down the fearful Sun Bin! Hopping off the ring, Ying Yue silently walked back to her corner as she heard them announce her win and the continuation of the competition. Several thug shaped men walked on stage and quickly removed the unconscious Sun Bin and placed him on the floor in a far part of the empty factory. He had lost shamefully and the weak were not respected here so the thugs just threw him in the first clear spot they saw.
The crowd kept looking back and glancing at the stoic figure hidden in the shadows. The people in front of Ying Yue who had previously chatted about Sun Bin and her silently wept as they realised who they had spoken in front of. Was this not shooting oneself in the mouth? Walking away they distanced their self further into the crowd away from her in fear of retaliation. While the fights had continued the amount of people looking at her slowly decreased as they were once again draw into the competition. The fourth match had started between Ze Mao and Scorpion and was another disappointment. Their fight was filled with fancy moves and exaggerated emotions, it was obvious that they were here as a show or were complete idiots. She continued to ignore the match and surveyed the crowd. While lazily grazing over the rambunctious crowd her eyes met a pair of cold grey eyes. She was not shocked to see him staring at her like she had done to him. Qi Jinguang had stared at her with interest and curiosity as he tried to analyze her. Though she may have fooled everyone else in the building, Jinguang saw through her facade. An expert, at the level she assumed he was at, could clearly follow her movements and decipher that she had faked all her injuries in the ring. She was not worried however, she met his stare with an indifferent one of her own. He could look all he wanted but it was no use, 100 looks and it would not change the outcome of their fight.
Tearing her eyes from him she noticed that the match had ended with Ze Mao as the winner. It was time for the semi finals as Qi Jinguang entered the ring to fight against Li Feng. As soon as the ring sounded Li Feng took an aggressive stance but kept his distance. Waiting for the other to take a move they circled each other. All of a sudden Jinguang moved forward towards his opponent and quickly struck him. Li Feng's body crumbled like a doll and the old doctor was once again called to check someone's pulse. "Well then..." Ying Yue was slightly surprised as she did not expect him to take such a drastic plan but it is not if she didn't understand. He had probably exhausted his patience and wanted to speed the process up for they could only fight in the finals. His eyes stared at her as he exited the ring, eyes that were filled with promise and excitement to fight her. Seeing him rush through his match she now felt like doing the same. Walking back on stage she faced Ze Mao and bounced her leg impatiently for the ring to sound. As soon as she heard it she quickly advanced on her opponent and made a side palm strike to his neck. Ze Mao did not have even a second to prepare before everything went black. The match had finished within 30 seconds.
Zo stood on the side, his mouth open staring at the ring and the woman's retreating back as he tried to process the last two matches - 'what the hell was going on?!'
