"I don't know what spear technique this person is using, but judging by its might, it must be at the level of a battle skill. He can condense his entire aura into a spear force. I should make my move to end this match... dragging it out will only allow him to gather more momentum."
Once again, he dodged a fierce flash of spear light. The sharp wind and overwhelming spear force brushed past his shoulder, causing a burning pain to shoot through it.
"Hahaha, this Brent really is pathetic. A dignified Intermediate-level warrior being chased around by a Low-Level opponent—it's utterly disgraceful..." Someone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh, as if finding such amusement in the Peak Showdown was incredibly rare.
"Ah... it's a shame that Judge Sean Sterling from Holy Light Academy is doing his best to protect this person; it's like trying to lift up a pile of mud." Another person shook his head in lament, seemingly feeling sorry for Sean Sterling.
However, just as he made his move in the Arena, the air suddenly compressed and solidified, an overwhelming pressure akin to a mountain crashing down abruptly descended.
He felt momentarily frozen; under such intense pressure, it was as if he had sunk to the bottom of a body of water, surrounded by crushing water pressure.
On Arena Number Three, Aubrey unleashed all his energy, transforming his fierce spear force into something tangible. The sharp spear light became like a whirlpool at the center of an ocean, completely solidifying the surrounding air.
"Brent... you are truly foolish for avoiding my Hundred Battles Spear Technique from the very beginning. Now that I have gathered my strength, one spear is stronger than another; ten spears equal an explosion.
You will be my first defeated Mid-Level Warrior! Hundred Battles Ten Spears—Returning Horse Spear! Prepare for defeat!" Olib's brown hair flew wildly as his fiery gaze blazed. With a loud shout and a twist of his waist like a spring, he thrust forward with tremendous force.
This thrust not only infused most of Aubrey's internal energy but also concentrated his spirit and spear force. His legs powered through as he twisted his waist; the vertebrae in his back cracked loudly with each movement.
This thrust! Its lethality was astonishing!
Brent's pupils constricted slightly. Although this thrust wasn't as grand as Reynold's ten-zhang Blade Light at that time, in terms of sheer destructive power, the spear's attack surpassed that of a blade. Aubrey's overwhelming thrust would surely pierce even a thick steel plate with ease.
"It seems this battle is forcing me to confront him head-on. I had hoped to resolve this easily without going all out," Brent said with a look of resignation as he gazed at the spear tip now within arm's reach. Suddenly, energy erupted wildly within him like a flood breaking through a dam, and with a swift motion, the Azure Morning Sword appeared.
A wave of blue light surged like an ocean; the sword's edge radiated coldness that pierced the heart!
Ethereal Thirteen Swords Seventh Sword unleashed!
A shadow emerged behind Bu, and in an instant, it seemed to flow like water, penetrating Bu's body and merging into the Azure Morning Sword. Circles of Energy Cyclone rapidly gathered towards the sword tip, accompanied by piercing ghostly wails that shook the mind, highlighting the intense brilliance condensing at the sword's tip like the first ray of sunlight.
This was Bu's second time using the Seventh Sword. Unlike the fleeting thrill of the first attempt, he clearly sensed something was amiss this time, as if something had been taken away with the shadow that penetrated his body.
Time did not allow Bu to dwell on it, and in battle, there was no room for distraction. As he saw a deadly spear thrusting towards him with astonishing force, Bu let out a light laugh and did not retreat; instead, he met it head-on with the Seventh Sword!
The sword shot forth like a rainbow, dense Energy Cyclone transforming into a dazzling beam of sword light. The spear surged like a dragon emerging from the sea.
This was a **bare-knuckle clash**, with Bu's three-foot blade confronting a twelve-foot spear.
This was the intersection of brilliance between the King of Weapons and the Sovereign of Armies.
With a single strike, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing resonated like an echo that buzzed endlessly. The might of the Seventh Sword was unparalleled; Aubrey's returning thrust met resistance as soon as it touched the sword tip, causing the spear made of fine iron to bend like a bow, unable to advance even an inch.
"This is impossible..." The piercing sword wail echoed like a demonic sound in his mind. Aubrey's crimson eyes gradually turned bloodshot as energy surged throughout his body. Suddenly, he retreated along with the spear's recoil.
During this retreat, Aubrey unleashed thrusts, sweeps, jabs, and smashes in rapid succession; each movement was incredibly agile. The entire sequence was completed in an instant. Just as Bu was about to launch an attack, Aubrey once again stepped forward with thunderous force, sweeping his spear across with devastating power.
"Hundred Battles Spear——Sweeping Across the Armies!"
"Hmph... ungrateful." Bu's gaze turned cold as he no longer held back. He activated Dragon Step, closing the distance in an instant. The fierce sword light shot forth like a meteor as he struck down hard. At the sword tip, all Energy Cyclone suddenly exploded into a circle resembling a meat grinder—an Energy Wheel.
Screech! The spear and sword clashed again, but this time Bu's offensive momentum was unstoppable. The rapidly spinning Energy Wheel, resembling a meat grinder, merely brushed against Aubrey's sweeping spear and sent it flying away with a deafening metallic screech.
With unrelenting force, that swiftly rotating sharp Energy Wheel detached from the sword and hurtled towards Aubrey's staggering form, slicing through the air and creating violent ripples wherever it passed.
"What kind of Sword Technique is this? It's so bizarre... Just now, a shadow passed right behind Brent... and now it can produce such a sharp energy wheel to injure from a distance." The crowd was in an uproar.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the rapidly spinning Energy Wheel fiercely sliced through Aubrey's hastily raised spear, producing a loud explosion. Sparks flew as the Energy Wheel directly cut the spear in half.
"This is bad..." A look of horror flashed in Aubrey's eyes. He barely managed to shift his body slightly when a sudden, intense pain shot through his shoulder, blood splattering as his right arm was completely severed at the shoulder.
"Ah...!" Aubrey screamed in agony, feeling darkness closing in before his eyes. The pain from his severed arm surged like a tide, stimulating his nerves deep into his brain.
This shocking scene left the audience watching the battle breathless and wide-eyed. Even Bu was momentarily stunned, not expecting that the Energy Wheel unleashed by the Seventh Sword could be so sharp.
Bu had previously used the Seventh Sword during his confrontation with Warren Earl, when he single-handedly fought against the Aldra Family's Five Great Guardian Elders that night.
However, during that encounter, although Bu had unleashed the Seventh Sword, he ultimately fell victim to the overwhelming attacks from the Five Guardian Elders. The Seventh Sword was directly shattered by their assault, and he didn't even have time to manifest an Energy Wheel like today.
Thus, Bu himself wasn't very clear about the power of the Seventh Sword, but today it surprised him.
"Hmph... That damn Aubrey is nothing but trash. He didn't even manage to injure that softie Brent by a hair's breadth and instead lost an arm." In the audience, a young man with a refined appearance and a hint of malice between his brows gritted his teeth. This person was none other than Kevin, who had hosted a banquet to invite Bu a few days ago.
Hearing Kevin's complaint, a youth wearing a Pointed Hat beside him quickly flattered him, saying, "Young Master need not be angry. Brent still has some strength after all; it's only natural that Aubrey isn't his opponent. But this kid can only hold on for now; once he encounters Fifth Prince Prince Clarence later, he'll know what true strength is."
The Pointed Hat Youth was Amus, who had guided Bu and Yahang the other day.
"Mm..." Kevin's expression softened slightly as he nodded thoughtfully. "Although my Aldra Family still needs this kid to strive for more resources and glory, since he has offended me, it's only right to teach him a lesson.
Among our group of eight, only Fifth Prince possesses Quasi-Mid-Level strength. Moreover, with the Royal Family's abundant treasures and Fifth Prince's Excellence Level Amplification Equipment, his actual combat power is no less than that of Intermediate-level warriors.
Hmph... Although Brent has stepped into Intermediate strength, all of his Amplification Equipment is supplied by my Aldra Family. To put it bluntly, he can't even compare to Fifth Prince."
If he can become strong enough to ignore the gap in equipment and defeat the Fifth Prince, then there is hope for the Final Four, and my Aldra Family will gain even richer resources in the next decade.
But if he truly is a weakling, a dignified Intermediate-level expert who cannot defeat a Quasi-Mid-Level opponent, then he deserves it. I believe that the Fifth Prince will teach him a good lesson; as long as he doesn't die, my Aldra Family can still obtain abundant resources.
"Young Master is absolutely right. Although Brent is powerful and managed to injure Lord Borg during a sneak attack last time, if he faces the Fifth Prince or Prince Clarence, he will have no chance of winning and will be beaten like a dead dog.
After all, according to the information we bought at a high price, the Duchy Royal Family has bestowed an entire set of Excellence Level Amplification Equipment to the Fifth Prince... coupled with the Fifth Prince's already formidable strength... hehehe..." Amus chuckled in agreement with Kevin's words.
"Hmph... Compared to my personal grievances, I actually hope Brent can defeat Clarence and bring more benefits to my Aldra Family. Unfortunately... that's impossible." Kevin shook his head with an air of magnanimity.
Having long been accustomed to flattering, Amus immediately put on a respectful demeanor and said, "Young Master is truly a remarkable person; a statesman can hold a ship in his stomach. If Brent hears this, he will surely feel deeply ashamed."
While these two were engaging in their mutual flattery, the battle on Arena Three had already been decided.
Despite Aubrey's intense resentment and fury after losing an arm, he had not yet reached the point of being blinded by anger. The Peak Showdown does not involve life and death; if he were to resist further in his current state, it would truly be a dead end.
Seeing Bu You leisurely approaching with the Azure Morning Sword, Aubrey helplessly shouted his surrender.
