Martial Arts Worlds-Chapter 420: Phantom Image

'Why did he allow me to get back on my feet? I am not sure what he is planning, but I am making sure that he will regret his decision!'

Koa thought to herself.

'Don't back away. Don't be scared. Go!'

Ren gritted his teeth, stepped forward at the sand, and threw himself forward into the danger zone of Koa's attacks.

It surprised everyone in the crowd that he actually took the initiative to confront her, as they expected him to run away again!

"Wrong move! Coming near me ends in an instant death!"

Koa said, and with her stretchy bones, she increased the length of her arms in a way that made them look like whips made out of flesh.

It looked quite grotesque-looking, but the aura around Koa turned deadly serious as if the area around her was going to be a battlefield.

'She can increase the length of her arms as well? Nathaniel's physique is nothing compared to hers.'

Kiernan thought to himself.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Koa swung her whip-like arms with such speed that they created a loud whooshing sound that echoed through the temple.

At that moment, Ren stepped inside her area, his eyes shaking in fear, and at that moment, the flesh whips rained down on him like a storm of stinging snakes. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Ren stopped moving forward and crossed over to the left side while the flesh whip lashed past him, barely missing his arm.

Boom!

The flesh whip smashed into the golden sand, and a cloud of dust billowed up into the air.

"Oh my god, Ren actually dodged it!"

"I thought for sure that he would be done for!"

Ren dashed straight towards Koa, but then one of her whip arms came from the side, and he quickly ducked under it.

It whizzed over his head.

Koa reeled back one of her flesh whips, returned it back to its original length, and punched towards Ren.

Ren rolled to the side, avoided the punch, and then shot his hand towards Koa's face, but she brought her flesh whip down on him.

With his eyes widening in surprise, Ren reeled back his arm, spun out of the way of the whip, and then grabbed the flesh whip from its stretchy forearm.

"Haa!"

Ren yanked her arm, making Koa take flight with a surprised yelp, and then smashed her into the ground with a loud thud.

"Ugh!"

Koa spat out saliva, but she then instantly rose back to her feet and threw punches, but they only connected with empty air.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Ren breathed heavily.

It wasn't physical exhaustion, but completely mental.

He was pushing through his fear and nervousness of getting hit, which took a lot of mental energy.

'Don't back away now!'

Ren pressed his arms against his chest and jumped forward like a man jumping into the jaws of death.

When he looked at Koa, all he could see was the phantom image of death hovering behind her.

It almost seemed like the phantom image was laughing at him, ridiculing him for his foolishness, as he should just keep running away like always.

Koa stretched her arms again and lashed them straight at the foolish young man, but Ren weaved through them with only inches to spare.

To him, it felt like he was running down an endless, winding dark tunnel with Koa standing at the other end of it, but to reach it, he had to get through the obstacles in his path.

If even a single obstacle hit him, he would lose the match.

At that moment, he happened to reach the end of the tunnel, completely exhausted but with a smile on his face.

Koa's face had turned red, and she wanted to reel back her stretchy arms, as she couldn't use them at such a close range.

However, it took long, and all she could do was stand awkwardly in front of Ren.

At that moment, Ren grabbed one of her stretchy arms, circled behind Koa, and wrapped it around her neck, choking her with her own arm!

"Ugh!"

Color drained off Koa's face as she struggled to break free, grasping for air, and then she felt Ren tie a knot at the back with her fingers and hands.

It made it so that she couldn't remove her own arm from choking her!

If her bones weren't so stretchy, her arm would be completely shattered by now.

"Mmh…"

Koa felt her vision blank and could feel the end coming, so she instinctively just kicked behind her.

She had a hunch that Ren was somewhere there. She didn't know and didn't really care either. She just wanted to get one hit.

At that moment, she felt her kick land on someone and heard Ren's scream of pain.

Kicked down to the ground, Ren clutched his stomach in agony and trembled in pain so terrible that he couldn't move.

"Ren!"

"Oh no, he got hit!"

Ren gasped for air, felt himself turn lightheaded, and saw everything spinning around him like a dizzying tornado.

He could feel that he was losing his consciousness!

However, at that moment, Koa dropped down on her knees and drooled out of her mouth as she stared blankly at the ground.

"Koa!"

Quickly, a few people from Ghoul Dojo came to her aid and removed the arm from choking her out any longer.

She immediately carried her inside the temple.

"…"

Everyone looked stunned and wondered who the hell just won that bout.

Silently, the temple priest walked over to Ren, whose tears were falling from the corner of his eyes, and he was also unconscious.

"The match is over!"

"Ren Saelim is victorious!"

When everyone heard that, some people jumped to their feet in joy, and a few cursed under their breath.

"I cannot accept this, temple priest!"

At that moment, everyone's gaze landed on Master Sifu.

"It was clear that Ren was the one that fell unconscious first, not Koa!"

The temple priest looked coldly at the angry-looking master of Ghoul Dojo and said slowly, yet very clearly.

"Yes. Ren fell unconscious before Koa fell down on her knees."

"Yeah, which is why we won!"

"Except, Koa was already unconscious before she went down on her knees. She was able to stay standing in an unconscious state for a couple of seconds before collapsing.

"Therefore, Koa fell unconscious first."

Master Sifu's eyes widened in surprise. H had nothing to dispute that and sat back down unwillingly.
