An opportunity arose, and there were also contestants in the stands with two hundred tiers of seats. At that moment, they all had the same thought.
Fu Long rushed forward quickly, his rake slamming down towards Lai Ao.
Lai Ao laughed, tilting his head to the side: "You've been tricked."
Chapter 73 The Death of Lai Ao
Lai Ao forcefully hooked the pointed hammer in his hand downwards, directly catching Fu Long's nine-toothed rake.
The Crane Wing Blade in his other hand unfolded into a fan shape. As soon as Lai Ao made his move, the Crane Wing Blade split into nine blades, which swirled around and then struck Fu Long together.
This isn't a reinforcement-type ability at all; it's a manipulation-type ability.
This kid is still trying to lie.
Fu Long understood. If the opponent was unprepared, they would definitely fall for the trick, since they had just been fooled. So now they would definitely be more careful and deal with the situation using the manipulation method.
But who could have imagined that Lai Ao's move was actually a scam?
Fu Long realized that the rake was entangled by the opponent's sharp hammer, and the nine-headed skull was also restrained by the opponent's crane-wing blade. For a moment, Fu Long was essentially left wide open.
However, logically speaking, Lai Ao shouldn't have had a chance to attack.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Lai Ao's spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, and a giant, strange bird appeared behind Fu Long.
In the Luojia Mountains, the people who live here all know that the most dangerous beast in the area is a strange bird called Fengxi.
The Wind Breath is unique. The male bird has a small body but a long neck and a sharp beak. With a sudden attack, the sharp beak can easily tear through the skin, bones, and flesh of any ferocious beast, creating a transparent hole in its opponent.
However, the male bird cannot fly; it can only walk on the ground, and at a very slow speed.
The female bird, however, is different. It is much larger and has powerful wings that, when spread out, can even cut through the wind while running or flying at high speed.
However, the female bird only has a beak that cannot cut food.
Therefore, once a female bird reaches adulthood, she must find a male bird and carry it on her back.
A male and a female work together, their sharp beaks and wings allowing them to hunt easily. After obtaining food, the male will feed it to the female, and they live together for life.
Lai Ao's weapon is derived from the sharp beak and wings of this bird, and the psychic power he releases also forms a pair of giant Windbirds.
The Wind-Breathing Bird appeared silently, launching a sudden attack from behind Fu Long.
At this point, Fu Long was restrained by the opponent and only had his left hand available.
Lai Ao was overjoyed. He was about to win the match because the Wind-Breathing Bird with its telekinetic power was even more astonishing. If Fu Long were to be hit by even one of its attacks, he would surely die.
Fu Long only has one left hand available, yet at this moment, a smirk appeared on his lips.
The nine-headed skull disappeared, turning into psychic power. Then, Fu Long used his left hand to forcefully tear open the clothes on his stomach.
"Spider web." A giant web of psychic power enveloped Lai Ao.
Lai Ao snorted. He knew that Fu Long was hiding his trump card. At this moment, he closed the Crane Wing Blade in his hand and slashed towards the spider web.
However, the spider web couldn't be cut off all at once, which surprised Lai Ao, as if something had gone wrong.
So he pulled back his other hand, and the pointed hammer followed.
Taking this opportunity, Fu Long turned around, only to find the psychic windbird already close behind him, its sharp beak stabbing towards him.
"It's up to you now, cotton-padded cassock."
The robe grew larger and larger until it transformed into a huge net, which entangled the enormous Wind-Breathing Bird.
The cotton-lined kasaya is not a fixed size, but changes depending on the other person's mental power.
The Wind-Breath Bird was merely a psychic entity; once enveloped by this, its entire psychic power melted away like ice and snow.
Fu Long felt his mental energy being replenished; this temporary mental energy replenishment feature was really thoughtful.
Both he and Wan Ao were nearly exhausted. Whoever had more mental energy would win the final victory.
And now this victory belongs to me.
Lai Ao was shocked to see his Windbird's psychic power disappear after he had finally managed to deflect the spider web.
He never expected that Fu Long had not only held back one trick, but two! What was the power of that cotton robe? It was too exaggerated!
In the stands, even Hisoka felt a sudden urge: they couldn't be covered by that robe; it was dangerous.
Lai Ao took a deep breath. There was still a chance. At this moment, Fu Long had his back to him. As long as he could land a successful blow, there was still a chance.
Thinking of this, Lai Ao concentrated all his strength and rushed towards Fu Long, his sharp-beaked hammer and crane-wing blade aimed directly at Fu Long's back.
"Nine-headed skull."
Fu Long was not in a hurry. With his psychic energy replenished, he had taken the initiative. As long as he proceeded step by step, he could kill his opponent without taking any risks.
The nine-headed skull appeared, blocking the opponent's attack. Lai Ao breathed a sigh of relief, but it was already difficult to gather his strength again.
"Turning the tables." Fu Long has rarely used this tactic lately, but it's a good way to deal with someone behind him.
A huge rake came crashing down from above. Lai Ao watched where the rake was going to hit and backed away as far as he could.
With the tide turning against them, Lai Ao instantly realized that he had underestimated his opponent. He thought that his opponent only had three tricks up his sleeve, and even if they were his trump cards, they would only be one. Unfortunately, Fu Long had too many trump cards up his sleeve.
Thud! The rake didn't strike the head, but it struck the chest instead.
In an instant, blood gushed from Lai Ao's chest.
Fu Long turned around quickly, giving his opponent no chance, and unleashed the Poisonous Thorn in his hand, followed by a powerful blast with his Nine-Toothed Rake.
Lai Ao could no longer hold on. The poisonous thorns from the horse struck his body. Although the pain wasn't unbearable, it did make him pause in his movements.
Then, the powerful blast from the Nine-Toothed Rake struck Lai Ao squarely on the head.
Lai Ao was sent flying backwards and landed on the ground, motionless.
As the aura dissipated, a lingering psychic energy, carrying a curse, hurtled towards Fu Long.
Fu Long also sensed it, but he simply draped the cotton robe over his body, and the cursed aura dissipated, while Fu Long received some replenishment.
Let him stand there steadily.
"It's over." Fu Long slowly walked away, and only then did the referee announce the result of the match.
Cheers erupted from the stands. Lai Ao's death did not frighten them; instead, it drove the audience even more wild.
Fu Long's battle made him a celebrity on the 200th floor, and his popularity rivaled that of Hisoka.
After all, Lai Ao was no weakling, yet he met his end on the 200th floor.
On his way back to the rest room, Fu Long let out a long sigh. The temporary boost to his mental energy had dissipated, and he felt a wave of fatigue.
If it weren't for the careful planning beforehand, it would have been hard to say who would have won the match against Lai Ao.
"Today's battle was exciting. How about we meet again for the next fight?"
Hisoka's voice came from behind. Fu Long turned around and looked at Hisoka who was walking towards him. His snake-like eyes were filled with excitement, and he even licked his lips.
"I can't beat you, and I don't want to, so how about other toys?"
To be honest, there are limitations in the arena, and Fu Long doesn't think he can beat Hisoka. But if he encounters Hisoka outside, he can run away. White Dragon Horse probably won't be able to catch up with Hisoka.
Chapter 74 Another C-Rank Mission
At the entrance of the lounge, Xiao Jie and the others had already arrived. Seeing Fu Long walk over, Yun Gu smiled and said, "Very good. This battle was commendable in terms of both tactics and the performance of your abilities."
Fu Long thought about it for a moment. In this battle, from the initial probing between the two sides to the final showdown, he had indeed been well-prepared. The opponent had indeed acted exactly as he had imagined in the various scenarios he had simulated.
So winning is normal. What's rare is that Fu Long was truly confident in this victory, which is no small feat.
"Fu Long, what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Jie asked.
“I’m already a bounty hunter, so naturally I’ll be taking on missions. You guys better keep up the good work.” Fu Long glanced at Gon and Killua.
Fu Long plans to rest for a day before leaving the Sky Arena. As for his next return, he estimates it will take some time, since taking on missions is his primary concern.
Try to improve your hunter rank.
Yun Gu nodded to Fu Long before leaving with Zhi Xi. As for Xiao Jie and Killua, they didn't leave but chatted in Fu Long's room.
Fu Long also lay on the bed, listening to their conversation.
Soon, Gon and Killua talked about their promise to Kurapika, and Gon asked, "By the way, Fu Long, will you be going to Yakuxin on September 1st?"
Fu Long thought for a moment and said, "That depends on the situation. To be honest, it's very chaotic over there, but maybe there's a mission there, so I'll go."
After all, the Phantom Troupe is there too; we should go and check it out if we have the chance.
However, Fu Long no longer has the same idea as before; he's willing to see it for himself.
Before long, Fu Long also fell asleep while listening to the chatter. After Xiao Jie, Killua, and Fu Long rested, they left the room.
After waking up refreshed, Fu Long immediately used the computer in the room to go online and look for his next task.
There are still many C-level and D-level wanted criminals, and even some higher-level ones, but they have all been blocked by Fu Long.
Fu Long quickly spotted a special bounty mission that required the Golden Rat's front teeth, each of which could be exchanged for 500 million Jenny.
Is this task difficult? Fu Long became interested and clicked to take a look.
The gold-eating rat is a type of rat that feeds on minerals. It can grow up to six meters long and nearly two meters tall, and its most powerful feature is its two enormous incisors.
Because they feed on minerals, their teeth can easily bite through metal, and they are extremely destructive to humans.
The krait has thick skin, but it's not so bad that it can't hunt. However, kraits are social animals, so they usually live in groups of dozens. They are good at burrowing and sometimes they will suddenly emerge from underground to attack.
Even hunters must be careful when hunting golden rats.
You never know when your legs might get bitten, and then it will be difficult to break free.
It's difficult to keep a golden rat's teeth intact, because if you don't break its teeth during a fight, you might get bitten and die. But once they're broken, they become worthless.
Therefore, there are very few well-preserved teeth of golden rats on the market, which also contributes to their high price.
This task is rated C difficulty; it is recommended to perform it in a team.
"It would be nice to see some of the strangest creatures in the world; I've heard they're all quite interesting." Fu Long quickly submitted his application, and soon, he received a notification on his computer.
Five days later, in the country of Atilan, they gathered in the city of Winks and set off again.
Fu Long checked his route and realized it would take at least four days to get there, so he had to leave today.
