944 Stalemate (1/2)

Yao Yu's sword was beyond frightening. A beam of sword light shot over, as terrifying as if a real life comet was making impact.

As for Mo Wen, he wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and bolstered it with the Blood Clotting Claw. His battle power skyrocketed, as well. The battle between the two of them resembled an asteroid crashing towards the Earth, furiously exploding in the night sky.

There was the dark of night, lightning, demonic stars, and crimson light.

It was all dazzling. At that moment, the spectators in the battle arena already could not clearly see the exact goings-on of the battle between the two of them. It seemed as if an earth-shattering calamity was occurring right before their eyes.

In order to block Yao Yu's attack, Mo Wen used all his might to save himself. His three Glory techniques had all been honed to the second realm of the first stage. Only now did he display the true might of the three Glory techniques. His spear struck out and lightning filled the skies. The Glory of Thunder, combined with the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, was enough to knock Yao Yu back.

Unlike in the first realm, Mo Wen's Glory of Wind was no longer limited to a body-movement technique. Instead, it could become a form of attack. In reality, the Star Emperor's seven Glory techniques were all-encompassing. Each of them contained the essence of martial arts teachings. It would, naturally, be impossible for the profound laws of heaven and earth to only apply to movement techniques alone.

It was so for the Glory of Cloud, as well. Using the Glory of Cloud to unleash attacks, Mo Wen could be unpredictable and prevent his enemies from comprehending his movements. It was effective at breaking through the enemy's defenses and injuring their weak spots.

The three Glory techniques were each proficient in a certain respect. For example, the Glory of Thunder was suitable for frontal bombardment with unparalleled power. The Glory of Wind could traverse a thousand miles in an instant, allowing one to break through the enemy's defenses before they could respond. The Glory of Cloud was unpredictable, and could be used for both attack and defense as well as baffling the enemy.

When Mo Wen incisively unleashed his three Glory techniques, Yao Yu also started to have a headache. Because of the Devil King Armor, her power and defense were stronger than Mo Wen's. She was a royal of the Fallen Angel clan. They were proficient when it came to speed, even surpassing the Blood Kindred. In terms of swiftness, she absolutely surpassed Mo Wen. She additionally wielded some incredible secret techniques and remarkable powers that were also her own domain type. However, in the end, it turned out that she still could not handle Mo Wen.

”Damn it!”

In this battle, Yao Yu still held the upper hand. After all, on the whole, Mo Wen was still weaker than her by quite a bit. However, it would not be easy for Yao Yu to have a hope of defeating Mo Wen. The things that made Yao Yu feel helpless were Mo Wen's Yin and Yang Qi and The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

The defensive power of the Yin and Yang Qi was quite astonishing. It was an ability that was unpredictable and, in addition, difficult to break through. Moreover, the Yin and Yang Qi was endless, and they complemented each other. It was notable for its endurance and durability. Even if one fought with cultivation and one's Qi resources, it would be very difficult to outlast Mo Wen with his Yin and Yang Qi.

As for The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift, it was a martial arts path. It was most effective for controlling the situation. It was also formless, and it could imperceptibly affect her attacks. Her speed and accuracy were changed and distorted. Because of it, Yao Yu was only be able to unleash at most 70% of her power when facing Mo Wen. One could only imagine how frustrating that was.

What made her speechless, above all, was that Mo Wen's treasures and remarkable secret techniques were also out of the ordinary. Regardless of the area one compared them in, the differences between them were really small.

At some unknown point, the dark night, lightning and crimson glow receded. The snowy plain once again appeared before the eyes of the spectators. However, the combatants' surroundings were already in shambles.

Mo Wen and Yao Yu stood across from each other. One wielded a long spear, and his peerless Celestial Body emanated unparalleled power. The other wielded an ancient sword, wore exquisite armor and was noble and elegant.

The two of them did not continue fighting.

”You are very powerful. Although I want to defeat you, I would need to reveal more of my trump cards in order to do so. It is not worth it.”

Yao Yu looked at Mo Wen with a deep expression. Her tone was, at long last, no longer so resolute. Mo Wen's power had far surpassed her expectations. If she insisted on defeating him, she would most likely pay a high price. This was because, in this battle, she had already revealed many things. The members of the Huatian Palace and Gods Alliance most likely already had their eyes on her. If she revealed all her trump cards to defeat Mo Wen, she would be in a very precarious situation. It was not worth it.

After all, her enemy was not Mo Wen nor the Huatian Palace; it was the Gods Alliance. Only the Gods Alliance was willing to kill her at any cost. It was within the realm of possibility for them to send out all sorts of battle formations. The more she revealed her means of self-preservation to the Gods Alliance, the more danger she would be in.

”You are also very powerful. Of all the people that I have fought with, you are the most powerful one so far,” Mo Wen said calmly. Although he had met quite a few strong practitioners, even having met the Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord, those people were on a whole other leel and would never exchange blows with him.

”How about we end this battle in a stalemate? Of course, it is not that I cannot win against you. It is just that I do not want to pay the price for doing so,” Yao Yu said plainly.

”I do not object to a stalemate. However, just because you have trump cards doesn't mean I don't also have some. Until the very end, who can say who is more powerful and who is weaker?”

Mo Wen knew, deep down, that Yao Yu was stronger than him. What she had said was not wrong. If they had continued to fight, he would most likely have lost. However, Mo Wen was not one to lower his head.

”I know that you still have some trump cards, such as the flame that you unleashed during the Heaven List Tournament. It would be a serious threat for me. But I am certain that, if I were to spare no effort, the one who would lose in the end could only be you.”

Yao Yu snorted softly. She was still somewhat unsatisfied inside. After all, she had initially wanted to furiously ravage Mo Wen. However, reason definitively won over her emotions.
