Chapter 587: Xiao Chen versus Bai Zhan

Nangong Ziyue frowned heavily. She tried to salvage the situation, no longer clashing head-on. Instead, she tried to use techniques to gain victory.

However, it was too late. Nangong Ziyue had lost the momentum and initiative. The rhythm of the battle was in Li Tianhua’s grasp and nothing she did could not change that.

In the end, Nangong Ziyue can only stake everything on a last-ditch effort. She used her deficient state and punched with both fists, executing the Immortal Mountains and Rivers Fist, trying to decide victory or defeat in one move.

“Twin Dragons Playing with Pearls!”

Li Tianhua smiled faintly. Victory was now at hand, so he executed the strongest move of the Coiling Dragon Spear Technique. The tip of the spear shook and sent out two spear lights. They turned into two ferocious coiling dragons and clashed with Nangong Ziyue’s two punches.

As the coiling dragons roared ferociously, the deficient state of mountains and waters shattered. Nangong Ziyue took ten steps back and helplessly admitted defeat.

With a flash of golden light, some of Nangong Ziyue’s Luck was taken. Li Tianhua’s golden dragon also broke out of his jade pendant. It was nineteen meters long; his Luck was among those at the peak.

“Match number fifty: Xiao Chen versus Bai Zhan!”

This was the last match of the thirteenth round, and also the last match of the day. Finally, it was Xiao Chen’s turn to fight. Furthermore, his opponent was someone familiar.

Seeing Bai Zhan walk up to the Wind Cloud Platform, Xiao Chen could not help a flash of murderous intent appearing in his eyes. Then, he slowly walked to the Wind Cloud Platform with heavy footsteps.

Bai Zhan felt very conflicted in his heart. Originally, he thought that after he perfectly merged his ice and fire together, he would be able to completely defeat Xiao Chen. Who knew, Xiao Chen’s improvement was even greater than his; even Gong Yangyu lost to Xiao Chen.

Gong Yangyu was much stronger than Bai Zhan—a fact that Bai Zhan admitted grudgingly. Now, Xiao Chen was much stronger than Bai Zhan, and not just by one or two levels.

However, after seeing Xiao Chen mount the Wind Cloud Platform, the unresigned look in Bai Zhan’s eyes immediately vanished. He smiled and said, “Xiao Chen, congratulations on your winning streak. You have yet to lose a match. It looks like you will definitely make it into the top ten.”

Xiao Chen maintained his silence, a strong murderous intent brewing in his heart. The dense crystal Essence circulated in his body; he could instantly execute all sorts of killing moves on demand.

Bai Zhan’s smile widened as he continued, “Unfortunately, no matter how strong you are, you cannot protect your friends. In the one hundred matches, your friends—Jin Dabao, Xiao Bai, Murong Chong, Ding Fengchou, and Chu Mu—will eventually run into me.

“Their end will be as miserable as Zuo Mo’s. All this will be because of you. Because of you, Xiao Chen, they will end up in such a state. Because you, Xiao Chen, have offended me, none of them will have a good ending.”

Since Bai Zhan could not hurt Xiao Chen, he took out his anger on Xiao Chen’s friends. He did not care about his image or status at all. Such an attitude was no different from those of the dregs of society.

The murderous intent in Xiao Chen’s heart surged. He said coldly, “Have you finished?”

Seeing Xiao Chen angry, Bai Zhan smiled even more sinisterly. “Ha ha ha ha! What’s wrong, getting angry? Want to hit me? Unfortunately, you can’t do it. You can only watch as your friends get tortured by me, one by one. I admit…ah!”

Bai Zhan wanted to concede the match. Unfortunately, he could not finish his sentence. He cried out miserably, failing to admit defeat.

Xiao Chen had made a move. While Bai Zhan was speaking, Xiao Chen executed Lightning Evasion. With a flash of lightning, he arrived before Bai Zhan.

The Vital Qi in Xiao Chen’s body surged and he sent out a Berserk Dragon Fist at Bai Zhan’s chest. This interrupted Bai Zhan’s final words, leaving them stuck in his throat, unsaid.

In the Wind Cloud Platform, once one party admitted defeat, the other party had to stop attacking. This was the ironclad rule here. No one could disobey it, not even Sima Lingxuan.

Bai Zhan intended to exploit this rule. He wanted to use his words to frustrate Xiao Chen, then admit defeat. If I cannot defeat you, I will make you feel frustration.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhan had not expected Xiao Chen to have such a strange technique. Xiao Chen managed to arrive in front of him almost instantly.

Without much time to think, Bai Zhan started moving his hands. He wanted to temporarily push Xiao Chen back before admitting defeat.

A cold wind gathered at Bai Zhan’s left hand and a surging flame on his right. This was his best move, the Raging Frost Flame Palm.

Ice in one hand and fire in the other. When cold and heat intertwined, the combination would make the opponent feel some discomfort. Even a cultivator stronger than Bai Zhan would have to be cautious when dealing with this.

“Breaking Armor! Seizing the Heart!”

Xiao Chen clenched his right hand and executed Breaking Armor. Like the autumn wind sweeping up the dead leaves, the sharp azure energy scattered the palm wind of Bai Zhan’s Raging Frost Flame Palm.

Then, he used his left hand as a claw to execute Seizing the Heart. An azure dragon claw appeared, superposed on his hand. It raked Bai Zhan’s Raging Frost Flame Palm, shattering it into ice shards.

Carrying a boundless killing intent, Xiao Chen ruthlessly continued towards Bai Zhan’s chest. If this claw landed on him, Bai Zhan would die without a doubt; he would not even have the chance to say anything.

Greatly horrified, Bai Zhan paled. At the crucial moment, he moved very quickly. He placed his two palms together and quickly merged the ice- and fire-attributed Essence in his body.

A cold wind blew on the huge Wind Cloud Platform but the cold wind felt hot. This was a perfect merger of ice and fire.

“Raging Frost Flame Wave!”
