Death Grip
Boom!
Two powerful attacks collided instantly, producing a thunderous roar, and Xing Chen felt his footing sink slightly, his face turning pale.
Ling Kaifeng's attack was incredibly strong; even with Xing Chen's strength, he could only barely withstand it.
However, Ling Kaifeng was not in a good position either. His body flipped several dozen times in the air before landing, and he staggered back more than ten steps before stabilizing himself. In this exchange, neither side gained an advantage.
"He actually took a hit from Senior Brother! How is that possible?"
"Could it be that this person's strength can really rival that of Senior Brother Ling Kaifeng?"
"Surely Senior Brother didn't use his full power, allowing this guy to survive one strike. In the next attack, this guy will definitely die!"
The disciples of Nebula Gate below wore expressions of disbelief, as if being able to withstand Ling Kaifeng's attack was an earth-shattering event.
"No wonder he's so arrogant; he indeed has some skill. However, no matter how strong you are, I will make you regret being here," Ling Kaifeng said after steadying himself, looking at Xing Chen with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
"There's no need for such nonsense. If you really have the ability, let's see it in action!" Xing Chen replied without any sign of fear.
Then, a flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes, and a thick aura of blood surged forth, the powerful momentum even stronger than before.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself! How dare you go head-to-head with Ling Kaifeng! He's simply asking for death," Song Daohong said disdainfully from the viewing platform.
He had never liked Xing Chen, and at this moment, he naturally mocked him without mercy. Moreover, to him, Xing Chen's decision to fight so recklessly was indeed unwise.
“Brother Zhao, it seems that what you just obtained is about to be returned! Hehe, and you will also have to part with one of your precious pill formulas,” Song Daohong said with a grin as he looked at Zhao Yuanlong.
“Song Brother, I still stand by my words. Don’t celebrate too early; otherwise, there will be no benefits,” Zhao Yuanlong replied lightly, though he felt a bit worried inside, maintaining an air of confidence.
“Alright, you two stop bickering and watch closely!” Nangong Xingyun interjected.
“Exactly, what’s the use of verbal sparring here? In the end, it all comes down to the results,” Huo Mingqing chimed in from the side.
As they spoke, changes occurred in the arena. Suddenly, Ling Kaifeng produced a long sword in his hand, shimmering with starlight. It bore some resemblance to the Lonely Star Sword previously used by Xing Chen, but its level was much higher than that of the Lonely Star Sword.
This was an Earth Grade Divine Weapon named Qixing Jian. Although it was only a beginner-level Divine Weapon, it was still on par with Xing Chen's Thunder God Sword.
“Starfall Sword!”
With a loud shout from Ling Kaifeng, the Qixing Jian in his hand radiated brilliance. As he swung the sword, it seemed as if a galaxy was falling from the sky, accompanied by Starfall and Sun and Moon Submergence.
“This is my Nebula Gate's one of the three supreme sword techniques, Starfall Sword. Ling Shixiong actually used this move; that guy definitely cannot withstand it again.”
“Indeed, with the power of Starfall Sword, it can instantly obliterate him dozens or even hundreds of times.”
“Wait! Look at him; he shows no fear at all. Could it be that he can really withstand Shixiong's strike?”
Suddenly, one disciple from Nebula Gate pointed at Xing Chen, and everyone else's gaze turned towards him.
Just moments ago, they had been focused on Ling Kaifeng and hadn’t even glanced at Xing Chen. Now that they looked over, they felt the overwhelming aura emanating from Xing Chen, which was not any weaker than Ling Kaifeng's presence.
“Seven Killing Blood Seal!”
Xing Chen raised his head, looking at the sword light in the sky that seemed to be somewhat Sun and Moon Submergence, Starfall. At the same time, his hands, enveloped in a thick blood light, suddenly pushed forward.
Six Blood Seals stacked on top of each other instantly surged toward the sword light in the air. The Blood Seal charged like a Blood Dragon, roaring upwards, colliding with the sword light.
In an instant, the sky was filled with blood color, endless sword energy crisscrossing and shooting out, causing the entire space to slightly distort as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
At this moment, Xing Chen's face turned pale, his breathing rapid, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
On the opposite side, Ling Kaifeng also had a somewhat pale complexion, but he was much better off than Xing Chen, at least he wasn't spitting blood.
“Not bad, not bad. You actually managed to clash head-on with me, Ling Kaifeng, twice without any significant issues. You truly deserve to be my opponent,” Ling Kaifeng said slowly as the blood-colored light and sword energy dissipated, taking a deep breath.
“Hah... should I feel honored then?” Xing Chen sneered.
Through their previous exchanges, he had gained a rough understanding of Ling Kaifeng's strength. If they continued to clash like this, he would definitely lose unless he used his Divine Weapon or the Thunderfire Pearl.
However, now was not the right time because he had not yet grasped Ling Kaifeng's hidden cards. If he revealed his hidden power now, it would be difficult for him to defend when Ling Kaifeng used his trump card.
Moreover, it was still uncertain whether he could withstand it!
“Indeed, you should feel honored because among those of the same realm, you are the first person who has forced me to use the second form of Starfall Sword,” Ling Kaifeng said as he raised his sword towards Xing Chen.
Then he slightly closed his eyes, and a surge of Vital Energy erupted from him like a tidal wave.
“Starfall Sword Second Form, Sun and Moon Submergence!”
Ling Kaifeng leaped high into the air, then suddenly swung his sword downwards. The Sun and Moon Phantom instantly appeared, swirling around Qixing Jian. As he struck with his sword, the Sun and Moon Phantom shot towards Xing Chen.
“I didn’t expect Wind to use the second form of Starfall Sword. This move is more than ten times stronger than the first form, Starfall,” Nangong Xingyun murmured in surprise from the stands.
Hearing this, Song Daohong immediately showed a delighted expression. Just now, Xing Chen had barely managed to withstand that move ‘Starfall’, and now this move ‘Sun and Moon Submergence’ was over ten times more powerful. It would surely be enough to defeat Xing Chen. If Xing Chen were to die, then...
Thinking of this, a broad smile spread across Song Daohong's face.
“Thunder Descends Upon the World!”
In the arena, Xing Chen looked at the powerful attack with a serious expression. He quickly drew out the Thunder God Sword and unleashed Thunder Descends Upon the World.
Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed, and gusts of wind swept through the arena, stirring up dust everywhere.
