Chapter 87: The Winner is King?
Xiao Chen grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber tightly. His face was a little weak. The Meteor Burst exhausted a large portion of his Essence. In addition, he was injured previously. Thus, he was currently on the verge of collapsing. He was only holding on by sheer willpower and would faint in the next moment.
“Ha!”
Suddenly, Tang Feng shouted out loudly. His right hand did everything possible to pull himself forward, and he flew up high in the air. When he landed, his body swayed unsteadily; it was obvious he had suffered severe injuries.
Xiao Chen pushed off the ground with his feet fiercely, and his body flew forward. The electrical light of the Lunar Shadow Saber radiated in all directions; the full might of the Rank 6 Demonic Core was released, ruthlessly hacking at Tang Feng.
“Qiang!”
The Ice Fire Bow in Tang Feng’s hand moved forward slightly and blocked Xiao Chen’s saber. Withdrawing his bow and moving around slightly, the Ice Fire Bow attacked Xiao Chen from an odd angle.
The two of them exchanged moves once again. Tang Feng used his bow as a weapon and, coupled with his excellent Movement Technique, he was able to keep things on even footing in close combat with Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was secretly fearful in his heart; he did not expect Tang Feng to have a Martial Technique that would allow him to use the Ice Fire Bow as a close combat weapon.
After Xiao Chen retreated backward by two steps, his right foot took a step forward, and his stance changed slightly. Suddenly, his aura rose. Tang Feng was slightly afraid and wanted to dodge to the side.
“Draw the Saber!”
Electricity crackled on the blade of the saber, and a streak of light flashed across.
“Arclight Chop!”
The tip of the saber was raised slightly, and an electrical light condensed on the saber blade. It drew out a lingering arclight in the air; the electricity on the arclight jumped around continuously.
Tang Feng wanted to make a move to block it, but he discovered there was no weak point in this technique. The angle that the arclight came from had sealed off all possible angles of attack for him.
When he finally decided to retreat, it was too late for him to completely evade. The arclight created a long wound on his chest. The leaping electricity surged into the wound and entered Tang Feng’s body.
The electricity easily circulated within Tang Feng, and his footsteps temporarily became disarrayed. He was extremely alarmed. He held the Ice Fire Bow in front of his chest and plucked the bowstring fiercely.
“Bo!”
A great wave of flames, which brought along a boundless heat wave, swelled towards Xiao Chen.
“Rus.h.i.+ng Heaven Chop!”
Xiao Chen leaped up high into the air, soaring towards the skies and directly breaking apart the wave of flames, finally piercing towards Tang Feng. The Lunar Shadow Saber had a reserved brilliance to it; it was not remotely fancy.
Tang Feng’s complexion was ashen as he decisively rolled backward. He did not have Feng Feixue’s ingenuous Movement Techniques and could only choose to roll backward in a sorry state.
“Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Chop!”
There was an explosion behind Xiao Chen; it was shockingly loud, causing everyone’s eardrums to tremble and making them dizzy. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s aura rose to the extreme, bringing along the boundless atmosphere and might of thunder from the nine heavens as he rushed forward.
[TL note: The nine heavens is a chinese way of saying the sky; it refers to the central sky and its eight directions.]
Tang Feng had just risen when he saw Xiao Chen descending as though he were a thunder G.o.d. He hurriedly grasped the Ice Fire Bow and raised it above his head, intending to block Xiao Chen’s strike.
He was very confident in the workmans.h.i.+p and the materials of the Ice Fire Bow. It was an Inferior Grade Profound Ranked Spirit Weapon, and furthermore, it was forged using Superior Grade Frost Iron.
“Ka! Ka!”
The huge force behind the Lunar Shadow Saber hacked down on the Ice Fire Bow. After a few crunching sounds, a crack appeared on the Ice Fire Box despite Tang Feng’s confidence in the bow’s durability. It was actually going to break!
“Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Second Chain Chop!”
Adding a chain after the boundless might of the Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Chop, Xiao Chen subsequently landed on the ground and seized the opportunity to execute a Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Second Chain Chop. Tang Feng was surprised and quickly used his bow to defend.
“Bang!”
The Ice Fire Bow broke on the spot. The Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Saber Technique executed five saber strikes in a go, and at this moment the violent energy that had acc.u.mulated thus far exploded out, blasting Tang Feng away.
Tang Tian, who was in the pavilion, quickly jumped out and caught Tang Feng. His fingers moved as fast as lightning and poked a few spots on his chest. Then, he hurriedly took out a Medicinal Pill and fed it into his mouth.
Only after Tang Tian inspected Tang Feng’s wounds did his expression turn warmer. Looking at Xiao Chen, who was still in the arena, he said in an indifferent manner to the people who rushed over, “Let’s Go!”
Dugu Feng slowly walked to the arena and announced, “In this year’s Promise of Ten Years, the Xiao Clan is victorious once again. The rights to Seven Horn Mountain belong to the Xiao Clan. I hope the other clans will honor this result.”
“Cousin Xiao Chen, are you all right?” Just as Dugu Feng finished his announcements, Xiao Yulan and the others rushed onto the arena.
Xiao Ling`er’s eyes were full of sparkles as she said, “Elder Brother Xiao Chen, now you are the hero of the Xiao Clan.”
Ye Lan, Xiao Jian, and the other Xiao Clan disciples all surrounded him as well, congratulating him. The people below the arena felt that this result was too surprising; Xiao Chen’s comeback was too sudden.
Xiao Chen looked at the crowd while feeling joy in his heart. With the effects of the Blood Replenis.h.i.+ng Pill, his internal injuries were already half healed. However, due to the fact that he had overdrawn on his Essence, his body was finding it difficult to manage.
Xiao Qiang parted the crowd and brought a few elders over. His expression was not that of joy obtained after victory. He first inspected Xiao Chen’s injuries and then said, “Hurry back, the Clan Head has something to say to you.”
When they arrived, the Xiao Clan’s people came with an extremely unsightly expression. Now that they had won the Promise of Ten Years, their expressions were much more relaxed.
