Steven had now incurred the wrath of everyone, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do was defeat Natasha and force Jiang Yi to act.
Soon, Steven walked onto the stage and glanced at Natasha disdainfully.
"I must kill you today. You crippled all my students. Only by killing you can I vent my anger!"
"You ruined my plan. The King of Mei Nation ordered me to find a way to sneak my students into the Royal Guard of Eagle Nation to monitor the royal family. But you crippled all my students, causing my plan to fail. I can't explain this to the King of Mei Nation!"
Steven glared at Natasha viciously.
There were only Steven and Natasha on the stage, and no one could hear their conversation, which was why Steven shamelessly revealed his entire plan.
"This is not my fault. Blame your students for their incompetence. So many of them couldn't even defeat me, a weak woman. The news used to boast about their Western fencing skills, but it seems it was all for show!"
Natasha retorted with a laugh.
"Don't be so arrogant. I'll let you know the consequences of opposing me. I'll make you pay dearly!"
"Oh, and I'll tell you something else. Besides monitoring the royal family of Eagle Nation, I have another task: to kill Jiang Yi. This is an order from the King of Mei Nation!"
"After I kill you, I will force Jiang Yi onto the stage to compete with me in Western fencing. Then, I can kill him openly in front of everyone!"
Steven's face was etched with a sinister smile.
Natasha couldn't help but laugh at his words.
"What are you laughing at?"
Steven asked in a low voice.
"You're too conceited. While you're clever, you lack the skill. As my teacher says, in the face of absolute strength, any tactic is futile!"
"Your Western fencing is not even a match for me, and you still want to fight my teacher? You're dreaming!"
Natasha stated directly.
"Hmph!"
Steven snorted and stared at Natasha with sharp eyes, sneering, "It seems you are just a frog in a well. Haven't you heard of my name? Ever since I entered the world of Western fencing, I have never lost. I can easily defeat even the top Western fencers. How dare you, a junior, utter such arrogant words? It seems I must show you my prowess today!"
"Stop with the nonsense and make your move!"
Natasha said impatiently. Sudan Novel Network.
Steven's face was filled with anger. He had never been so underestimated before; this was the first time.
Steven could not tolerate this.
"Die!"
Steven gripped his Western sword tightly and charged directly at Natasha. It appeared to be a simple attack, but it was laced with killing intent.
It was precisely these deadly moves that Steven used to defeat many and become the number one Western fencer.
In Steven's view, Natasha was doomed this time.
However, the outcome surprised Steven. Natasha seemed to have predicted his moves. As she dodged his attack, she launched a fatal counter-attack.
In the blink of an eye, Steven's arm was pierced by Natasha's Western sword.
Everyone was stunned. The vast square was silent, devoid of any sound.
Even Menasha couldn't help but stand up from her chair, looking at Natasha with disbelief.
No one expected that Steven, hailed as the number one Western fencer, would have his arm pierced by Natasha in just one round. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed it was true.
The scene of Steven's arm being pierced was truly classic.
After the reporters captured this moment with their cameras, they immediately began a live broadcast, and the ratings soared at an astonishing rate.
This news was monumental.
"Impossible..."
Steven covered his injured arm with his hand, his face filled with disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible. Defeating you is too easy!"
Natasha smiled slightly.
"You are just a junior, and I have been undefeated in the Western fencing world for so many years. No matter how skilled you are, you couldn't possibly defeat me in one move!"
Steven was on the verge of madness. He found this outcome unbearable.
"My skills are nothing compared to this. My teacher, Jiang Yi, is even more formidable. I've only learned a little from him, and dealing with you is like dealing with a three-year-old!"
"You threatened to kill me and force my teacher to fight, yet you can't even beat me. You still want to fight my teacher? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror; are you even worthy of fighting my teacher?"
Natasha said contemptuously.
At this moment, Steven's confidence completely collapsed.
However, Steven did not give up. He did not want to lose to Natasha like this.
"You injured my right arm, but I still have my left!"
Steven picked up the Western sword from the ground with his left hand and charged at Natasha again.
Natasha knew Steven had come to Eagle Nation to target Jiang Yi, so she did not hold back and pierced Steven's left arm with her Western sword.
With a cry of pain, Natasha kicked Steven off the stage.
Steven's arms were both rendered useless, making him half a cripple. He would never have the chance to hold a Western sword again in his life!
Seeing Steven utterly defeated by Natasha, the crowd below erupted in cheers.
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. Natasha's Western fencing skills had reached a perfect state. Without him needing to intervene, she had easily dealt with Steven!
At this moment, Natasha had become the most dazzling focus of the arena.
With Natasha defeating Steven, she would henceforth be the number one in Western fencing.
However, Natasha knew that her skills were nothing; Jiang Yi was far more powerful than her!
Menasha and the nobles in the audience also rose to their feet and began to applaud.
Steven's miserable defeat was the outcome Menasha and these Eagle Nation nobles most wished to see.
"This is wonderful! The conspiracy of Mei Nation to monitor our royal family of Eagle Nation has finally been foiled!"
A nobleman said with a smile.
Menasha's expression, however, grew grave.
"The royal family of Mei Nation will certainly not let this go. Our royal family of Eagle Nation might face difficult times ahead!"
Menasha took a deep breath.
