34 Beyond the Qi Condensation Realm (1/2)
Blood was oozing from the angry Long Qiong, he couldn't believe that he had been hurt for the first time in this tournament and now he wanted revenge, so Long Qiong circulated his Qi essence and instantly disappeared once more. Like wise, Long Lao Er also circulated his Qi essence and disappeared like his opponent.
Now sound explosions could be heard from time to time as cracks appeared on the arena's floor. For cultivators on and below the Qi Condensation Realm it looked like both opponents had disappeared but for cultivators above the Qi Condensation Realm it was a different situation.
Agressive and unpredictable flurry of kicks and punches were being unleashed by Long Qiong against the explosive short range punches and kicks from Long Lao Er making it an impasse between this 2 opponents.
While low level cultivators were shocked because they couldn't see anything, cultivators above the Qi Condensation Realm were closely following the fight with the same astonishment. On the royal booth, Long Suanni's golden pupils were moving left, right, left, up, up, down. Unlike her parents and any other high level cultivator who didn't needed to move in their pupils that much, because they could follow this fight more easily.
The Dragon Queen with a calmed expression was following the fight. Her assessment was that although they looked like both opponents were at an impasse, slowly but steady was Long Qiong starting to overwhelm Long Lao Er.
A gloating expression was shown by Long Qiuniu. He knew that as long as the fight continued as it was being developed, his son would advance to the final. Long Qiuniu would be just one step away from fulfilling his plan. As long as his son became champion, Long Qiuniu's plan would come to fruition.
Back in the battle, both Long Lao Er and Qiong were moving at an extreme fast speed as they exchanged punches and kicks. Unfortunately for Long Lao Er due to his opponent being on a higher level; his opponent had a higher defense. Because of that Long Qiong could better resist Long Lao Er's attacks and because of that, Long Qiong didn't have to concentrate too much on his defense and therefore he could focus more on his attacks.
Opposite to his opponent, Because Long Lao Er had a lower level, his defense was less powerful making him have to focus more on his defense, rather than in his offense.
In conclusion, Long Qiong was starting to overwhelm Long Lao Er, harassing him with his attacks while Long Lao Er could only defend.
Noticing this big inconvenience, Long Lao Er decided to circulate some external Qi essence, allowing him to increase his speed above his opponent's speed. It was time for him to use his Dragon Sealing art. Still due to the disparity between both opponents power, Long Lao Er was only able to just seal a couple of his opponent accupoints. And even though his opponent had, had a few of his accupoints sealed, Long Qiong's Qi essence started to stager.
Shocked by this new course of events a calm expression on Long Qiong was present. Although Long Lao Er's speed had increased, Long Qiong didn't panic. Long Qiong circulated more Qi essence and started just sending flurries of explosive punches and even though Long Lao Er was faster, Long Qiong still managed to connect a couple of punches before he tiredly returned back to the center of the arena.
Exhausted and with almost no Qi essence, both opponents looked at each other. Long Lao Er noticed that Long Qiong was out of breath trying to absorb more Qi essence to recuperate, so this was his chance to finish this battle.
Long Lao Er circulated all his left Qi essence and unleashed his Supreme Ascending Rozan Dragon art. But before the Dragon could even appeared, small explosions happened on his meridians, knocking him down.
With a wantonly expression, Long Qiong told him.
