Boom!
As Luo Cheng and Hua Jingyang stepped onto the arena, the entire peak of Jinyu Peak erupted into a thunderous frenzy. The deafening commotion even caused the clouds in the heavens to churn!
No one had anticipated that Luo Cheng would dare to step forward and challenge Hua Jingyang. While they were shocked, their curiosity was equally piqued.
Up until now, Luo Cheng had won battle after battle, even managing to overpower and kill Shadowless Sword Fei Jue, a stunning upset that had drawn everyone’s attention!
And now, he was challenging Hua Jingyang, the crowned young king of the Three Sects, who had awakened the Ten-star Spirit Martial Soul!
Where did he find such courage? Everyone wanted to know.
Besides, while Hua Jingyang and Yan Qingshuang’s duel was thought to be the pinnacle battle of this year’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition...
...their match was only a sparring contest with asured strikes, lacking both blood-pumping excitent and raw passion!
But this duel.
One was the top disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect!
The other was the top disciple of the Fierce Cloud Sect!
It wasn’t just a competition of skill—it was a battle of life and death!
Without exaggeration, this fight was truly the most anticipated, and undoubtedly the most captivating, battle of this year’s Three Sects Martial Arts Competition.
Even before the battle began, the crowd’s blood was already boiling, their excitent ready to erupt at any mont!
The disciples from both the Fierce Cloud Sect and the Xuanyuan Sect jumped to their feet, shouting and cheering for their respective senior brothers!
On the sprawling, majestic arena.
Hua Jingyang stood with his hands behind his back, radiating magnificent confidence. Even the faintest motion of his eyelids emitted a powerful oppressive force, rippling outward and causing the very air to tremble.
On the opposite side, Luo Cheng stood tall in his green robe, straight as a sword, exuding an aura as sharp as his blade. In face of Hua Jingyang’s overwhelming presence, he appeared like an enduring stone that had weathered countless storms—imposing and immovable despite the winds and rains attacking him!
Hua Jingyang’s eyes glimred with piercing intensity. He looked down at Luo Cheng from above and sneered coldly:
"I never expected you’d dare to step onto this stage to face in battle. Do you realize the consequences of such reckless behavior?"
Under the overwhelming pressure of Hua Jingyang’s aura, Luo Cheng’s robes flapped violently, yet his eyes held no ripples of fear. He replied indifferently:
"Do you realize the consequences of battling ?"
Heh! Heh!
Hua Jingyang’s eyes glinted dangerously, "Ignorant frog at the bottom of the well! Alas, even if you regret this now, it’s already too late! Today, you will die!"
Boom!
As he finished speaking, Hua Jingyang’s Essence Energy surged around him like rolling waves. His aura climbed steadily higher as he struck out with a palm toward Luo Cheng.
The domineering energy of the palm was as massive as a door slab, causing the air to rumble incessantly!
Clang!
The Fla Trace Sword left its sheath, slicing through the palm energy effortlessly. In the sa strike, Hua Jingyang’s oppressive aura that enveloped the four directions was also shredded apart!
Luo Cheng raised his gaze toward Hua Jingyang, saying calmly, "Release your Spirit Martial Soul. Otherwise, this fight will end far too quickly."
Hua Jingyang sneered dismissively, "To kill you, I don’t need to unleash the soul’s power. I’ll crush you with nothing but my palms!"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Hua Jingyang closed the distance in an instant, narrowing the gap to just three steps. His right palm roared with the energy of Fla Light!
"Domineering Fla Four Directions!"
Boom!
Blazing waves of fire swept toward Luo Cheng like a tsunami, carrying a violent force akin to unrelenting tidal waves, compressing the surrounding air so intensely that it visibly sank!
"Crush with your palms?"
Luo Cheng laughed coldly, as a towering sword aura erupted from his body. The Fla Trace Sword carved out a breathtaking path in the air, striking down in one ruthless slash!
With the full force of nine Essence Energy Vortexes spinning, bolstered by the High-level Human Sword Integration technique, the montum of this sword strike reached an unprecedented and unfathomable level!
Boom!
The palm strike collided violently with the Sword Qi. Under the crowd’s incredulous gaze, the palm energy was instantly split apart, while the residual Sword Qi surged forward toward Hua Jingyang like an unstoppable force.
"What!"
Hua Jingyang’s pupils widened with shock as he was blasted back dozens of ters by the force of the Sword Qi!
The arena was in an uproar, and the spectators were utterly astonished.
In a direct, head-on confrontation, Hua Jingyang was actually at a disadvantage!
Sun Yingyang furrowed his brows deeply.
He hadn’t expected Luo Cheng’s strength to be this formidable, further solidifying his suspicion that soone was secretly cultivating Luo Cheng’s abilities!
But Sun Yingyang wasn’t particularly worried.
He knew that Hua Jingyang’s true strength far exceeded what he’d displayed thus far.
From the very beginning, the outco of this duel had been determined!
Swoosh!
Having driven Hua Jingyang back with one strike, Luo Cheng didn’t intend to stop there. He leapt forward, his sharp determination shining irrepressibly in his eyes, like an unsheathed, peerless Treasure Sword. Without hesitation, he unleashed another attack.
Heavenly Fall Three Forms Electric Passage!
Szzzz!
A straight crack split open in the air, as fast and lethal as lightning!
Hua Jingyang barely steadied himself when his instincts imdiately scread of impending danger. His hair stood on end, his back drenched in cold sweat as he instinctively channeled all his Essence Energy to counter with a powerful blast of Fla Crystal Qi!
"Purple Fla Crystal Qi!"
Szzzrip!
The Fla Crystal Qi hadn’t yet fully materialized when it was pierced cleanly by the Sword Qi!
Hua Jingyang’s body trembled fiercely, launching him like a shooting star—this ti hurtling over a hundred ters before coming to a stop near the edge of the arena.
Now, his right-hand sleeve was shredded, his fingers were streaked with blood, and drops of fresh blood continued to drip from his palm!
Gasp!
"Hua Jingyang is injured!"
Audible gasps resonated from the crowd.
As they took in the sight before them, everyone was utterly stupefied.
In his previous battle against Yan Qingshuang, Hua Jingyang had erged completely unscathed, yet now—he was wounded!
Nobody could have expected the battle to shift so swiftly, becoming utterly one-sided in favor of Luo Cheng.
This defied all their predictions, flipping their expectations entirely on their heads!
Even the Xuanyuan Sect disciples were struck dumb.
Ninth Elder swallowed hard, "Old Xuanyuan, am I dreaming right now?"
Elder Chen Xuan stared at Luo Cheng on the arena with a dry voice, "I feel the sa way..."
Beside them, Elder Xue Yun slowly exhaled, her eyes full of astonishnt, unable to suppress her admiration.
Luo Cheng’s strength had exceeded her wildest expectations!
Was this what it ant to remain silent until one made a deafening impact all at once?
If things continued at this pace, perhaps even the championship title for the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition wasn’t out of reach.
Of course, this was impossible.
With such a ferocious battle unfolding, the dicinal strength of the Green Essence Blood Activating Pill could erupt at any mont!
When it did, Luo Cheng would undoubtedly follow in Lin Zhidong’s ill-fated footsteps!
"What a pity. If only he hadn’t crossed paths with the Crown Prince Hall or offended Jin Min..."
Shaking her head, Elder Xue Yun dismissed these fleeting thoughts.
In this world, there were no "ifs."
Boom!
As the crowd murmured in shock and speculation, the arena surged with unexpected change!
An unparalleled, terrifying force soared into the sky, engulfing the surroundings. A scorching wave swept through the peak of Jinyu Peak, causing the air to ripple and tremble like undulating water, wave after wave!
Hua Jingyang’s black hair whipped wildly in the blazing wind, the Essence Energy surrounding him igniting into roaring flas. Behind him, a massive Golden Toad enveloped in raging fire erged!
Within the Fla Golden Toad, ten radiant stars shone brilliantly, its powerful aura shaking the very air around it!
Having released his Spirit Martial Soul, Hua Jingyang tilted his chin upward and gazed coldly at Luo Cheng:
"Luo Cheng, I admit I underestimated you. Your abilities warrant experiencing my strongest battle power!"
Standing a hundred ters away, Luo Cheng’s expression remained indifferent.
"Unfortunately, you don’t deserve to witness my strongest battle power!"
As these words left his lips, the crowd collectively gasped in horror.
He was still holding back against Hua Jingyang! Even now, he claid he hadn’t unleashed his full strength!
The audience couldn’t tell if this was true or if Luo Cheng was simply being arrogant!
The majority leaned toward the latter!
