The Patriarch and all of the elders sat along the perieneration compete in person
Ninth Elder Ling Fu gave a simple explanation of the rules and declared the start of the match
Ling Guang cupped his hands in salute and said to Ling Hu, “Please show mercy”
Ling Hu responded politely, “Please!”
As soon as Ling Hu finished speaking, Ling Guang slammed his foot down, his body flickered as he shot forward He moved with incredible speed, like a cheetah on the hunt, essentially preventing anyone froainst his attack
When he was alht forth a heavy blade
Ling Guang is a direct descendent of the Ling Farade, intermediate-level broadsword The broadsword see Hu’s forehead
The audience cried out in alar would launch a sneak attack and his blistering speed rendered people speechless
The heavy blade e Hu’s head Any xuan practitioner of the same rank would most likely have been intimidated
However, Ling Hu is one rank higher than Ling Guang and very familiar with his opponent He was calm and unhurried as he raised both hands up to receive the attack
Those who have never seen Ling Hu in action cried out in alarm
“This guy doesn’t want to live He’s using his bare hands to receive Ling Guang’s heavy blade”
“Perhaps he overestiht that he could win purely on his rank advantage Looks like he’s about to lose both his hands”
“What do you guys know? Don’t you idiots see so Hu’s hands?”
……
Ling Hu’s not brain-dead; he wouldn’t directly block the blade with his hands if he didn’t have the utmost confidence in himself His hands were sheathed in a weapon that is uniquely his, a first-grade, high-level Gold Silk Glove It isBeast; low-grade weapons couldn’t even put a scratch on it That’s why Ling Hu dared to defend with just his hands
However, Ling Guang had prepared for this ahead of ti Hu’s head, it suddenly changed direction and cut directly toward Ling Hu’s neck
This move came as a surprise to everyone and left the onlookers below scared stiff Even the elders on the platfor Hu with looks of appreciation, apparently quite satisfied by Ling Guang’s quick thinking and decision
“Nice try” Ling Hu frowned and then flipped his left hand
“Ding!” Weapons collided
Ling Hu retreated half a step under the full ht of the heavy blade, but his left hand remained unscathed It can clearly be seen that his Gold Silk Glove is no coood
Seeing his attack has failed, Ling Guang shouted, “Shadowless Heavy Blade!”
Countless blade shadows coalesced into a large, frightening blade bea Hu’s body
This is currently Ling Guang’sHu and hiht at the start in an atteuard is down
Many of the Ling Fa from the sideline cried out in fear Most of theain any insights fro a match between xuan practitioners However, the htenment and advance their cultivation
Ling Xiao looked at Ling Guang’s blade and murmured, “On the face of it, this move look to be quite for this move with the use of a sould have been al the brute power of the heavy blade to compensate for his lack of skill, and the move has lost its true essence”
Standing off to the side, Ling Li cast a glance at Ling Xiao before reverting to the action on the platform
On the platfor Hu had started his fierce counterattack Power exploded out fro roar, his fists transformed into enormous fist-shaped shadows
“Tiger’s Roar in the Mountain Forest”
“Ding! Ding!”
The blade shadow intertwined with the fist shadow, releasing a deafening collision of sounds
Ling Guang had th for thisHu seey to spare as he shouted, “You’ve lost!” He deflected the heavy blade with one fist and struck out at Ling Guang’s stomach with the other
“Bang!”
Ling Guang was still sent flying off the stage like a kite with its string cut
“Pfff!” Collapsed on the ground, Ling Guang coughed up an entire mouthful of blood
Fairly soon, two Ling Fa away
Elder Ling Fu announced the winner on stage, “Ling Hu wins!”
“Wow! Elder Brother Ling Hu’s so powerful!”
