C31 (2/2)

He opened his mouth to say something, but then saw Hong Ling's sword rushing towards him.

Clang! The longsword and the iron spear clashed, bringing about a dazzling spark.

”Enough. If you still want to teach me a lesson, then shut up and nag at me like a woman. Why don't you just come and fight!”

Hong Ling's attack did not hit, he immediately retreated, raising the sword in his hand, he pointed at Wan Hong, his eyes filled with provocation.

”Didn't you just say that you mustn't let me meet you in the arena, or else you wouldn't mind crippling me in public? Unfortunately, right now, I am standing right in front of you, and I want to see just how you will cripple me!”

Finished speaking, he kicked the ground fiercely with his foot, his figure flashed, and slashed down towards Wan Hong in the air. Inside the sharp Fine Steel Sword, a powerful sword intent quickly formed and interweaved with Hong Ling's Authentic Qi, forming a bright sword aura.

Wan Hong saw that he had actually rushed forward without thinking too much about his own strength, his eyes flashed with a cold light, he lowered himself into the horse, and thrusted out the spear in his hand straight out, like a dragon out of the ocean, the atmosphere was majestic, the spear's body instantly erupted with an overbearing spear light, directly clashing against Hong Ling's Sword Qi.

Wan Hong was also knocked three meters away on the ground by the immense force of impact. The two were testing each other out, but they were actually evenly matched in terms of strength, and neither could subdue the other.

He was a cultivator with complete mastery of the Essence Refinement into Qi, and was two levels higher than Hong Ling, a cultivator at the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi. However, the attack that he had just been angry at was actually unable to hurt this brat at all, which was difficult for him to accept.

Wan Hong wasn't the only one who couldn't accept such an outcome, even the people from the three families couldn't believe it, a cultivator with intermediate Essence Refinement into Qi, no matter how monstrous of a genius he was, he shouldn't be so powerful. Unfortunately, the truth was right in front of them, as if a resounding slap was delivered right into their faces.

Hong Ling stopped his retreat, and rushed forward again, the sword in his hand released waves after waves of sharp Sword Qi.

The long spear in Wan Hong's hand danced as it constantly shattered the sword qi. If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would be able to completely destroy this kind of sword qi with a single strike.

But Hong Ling was different, his Sword Qi contained a hint of sword intent, causing these Sword Qi to become sharp and tough, it was difficult for others to destroy them in a short amount of time, and every time he destroyed a sword qi, Wan Hong would need to use up a large amount of Authentic Qi, which made him angry.

He had never felt such grievance from a cultivator of a lower level than him.

”Good, good, good, Hong Ling right, to be able to force me to such a state, looks like you really do have some skills, however, stop right there. Cultivators with great perfection in their Essence Refinement into Qi are not people you can compare to!”

Wan Hong shouted loudly, and the spear in his hand was instantly retracted by him. Beside him, an ice Authentic Qi surged out of his body, quickly condensing and freezing the water vapor in the air, turning it into snow.

His long spear stirred and countless snowflakes instantly gathered on its body, slowly turning into a violent snowstorm.

”Brat, since you don't know what's good for you, then take this move of mine, Silver Flower of the Snow Tree!”

Boom!! The raging snowstorm, under the control of the Ten Thousand Great Authentic Qi, swept towards Hong Ling with a dense spear light.

Hong Ling stood where he was, dressed in white clothes that fluttered in the wind. There was neither happiness nor sadness in his eyes, and as he looked at the blizzard that covered the sky, the aura on his body instantly erupted.

Streams of fire sword Qi formed around his body, every single one containing a sharp sword intent, but what was different was that the longsword in Hong Ling's hand did not move, and allowed the fire sword Qi to gather more and more.

When all the Sword Qi was in front of him, the steel sword in Hong Ling's hand ignited with a loud bang.

”Flame Breaking Spell, break for me!”

The young man shouted, and ten Sword Qi streaked across the sky, continuously attracting and devouring Sword Qi, instantly forming ten bright and resplendent sword beams. Under the guidance of Hong Ling's will, the sword beams slowly lined up together, forming a storm of Sword Qi.

Boom! Ten sword energies crashed into the violent wind and snow. Ice and fire interweaved, creating a powerful shockwave and mist that swept out in all directions.

Bang! A figure was thrown out from the white mist and was about to land heavily on the stage.

Hong Ling was in the air, the sword in his hand fiercely thrusting at the stone slab, the sword edge creating a bright spark on it, his free left hand instantly pressed on the ground with all his might, with a bang, he borrowed the momentum and flew up, twisting his waist in the air and smashed down heavily.

Bang. He was on his knees and his knees smashed into the stone floor, creating a huge crater in the stage. Countless cracks spread out like a spider web with his knees as the center.

The youth raised his head and looked at Wan Hong who was slowly walking out of the white mist. Although blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face was full of smiles.

”Just a bit more and I would have been relegated!”
