The two on the stage prepared their next moves.
The more experts exchanged blows, the more cautious they became: they wouldn’t want to show all their hidden cards.
In this break, the audience started to breathe again.
The previous scene had been so tense that they had forgotten to breathe.
No need to mention Yang Cheng’s strength, but what was with Ling Xiao’s movement technique?
That speed!
That weird angle!
He was absolutely not inferior to Half Great Masters!
The might of that punch was definitely not worse than a Half Great Master’s!
Was this guy truly a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master?
Lan Yu’er, Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, Hei Suo, and the others had shock and disbelief in their eyes.
Could it be that Ling Xiao truly wanted to break the hundred-thousand-year-old tradition of Moonlight Sect?
Defeating a Half Great Master with a cultivation of Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein!
While they were thinking this, the stage’s situation suddenly changed.
Yang Cheng made a move!
As a Half Great Master, he was actually injured by a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master, so his self-esteem and face had taken a severe blow.
Wind Cloud Art!
Spring Wind and Rain Step!
Wind Rain Sword Technique!
Entry gold-grade internal core technique!
Entry gold-grade movement technique!
Entry gold-grade sword technique!
Yang Cheng no longer held back and released his terrifying true essence, causing a violent gust of wind to wreak havoc. Then, his figure suddenly disappeared as he rushed towards Ling Xiao like a raindrop swept away by the wind.
At that moment, no one could see Yang Cheng’s figure except for a few people like Lan Yu’er and Elder White.
This situation mirrored when Ling Xiao had attacked Yang Cheng before.
Yang Cheng also planned to show the might of his movement technique and make Ling Xiao know fear!
Under the support of <Wind Cloud Art>, his <Spring Wind and Rain Step> and <Wind Rain Sword Technique> complemented each other and had obviously become much stronger.
His movement technique had become faster!
His sword technique had become stronger!
The wind cloud true essence produced by <Wind Cloud Art> could spread without any hindrance. This was a perfect combination.
“I heard people say that the most terrifying aspect of Yang Cheng is that his martial arts greatly complement each other. They are way stronger than others at the same grade!”
“Yes, his arrogance is not without reason. To be able to enter the top-ten of the outer sect, he naturally has his own unique advantages!”
The onlooking disciples remarked.
Judging from the current scene, Yang Cheng’s movement technique didn’t seem to be inferior to Ling Xiao’s. As for his attack, it was more powerful.
Under the pressure of this terrifying true essence, Ling Xiao was like a small boat in the sea, in danger of being instantly overturned by a ferocious wave and completely submerged.
Snow Lotus Sword Art, Third Style——Freeze Water!
Floating Snow Sword appeared in Ling Xiao’s right hand, and with a single swing, an ice-cold aura enveloped the entire square.
“So cold!”
Many onlooking disciples shivered.
At present, <Snow Lotus Sword Art> was his strongest martial technique; he wouldn’t use it casually unless as a last resort.
Today, with his suppressed cultivation, he had to use <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.
Yang Cheng was too strong: at least ten times stronger than Li Anle!
Ling Xiao’s sword was like a crystal, emitting a blue radiance. When this sword appeared, Yang Cheng’s ferocious aura stagnated, and his wind cloud true essence was frozen.
A strange scene appeared on the challenge stage.
Yang Cheng seemed to be frozen like an ice sculpture.
Crack!
Although the ice layer quickly shattered, freeing Yang Cheng, his attack came to an abrupt halt, and he hastily retreated.
He knew very well that his true essence was not smoothly circulating. It wouldn’t be good for him to forcibly attack in this state.
Ling Xiao didn’t chase him either because this move had consumed a lot of his true essence. Now, he was using the Landscape Martial Soul’s ‘Absorb True Essence’ to convert Yang Cheng’s wind cloud true essence into his own.
He wanted to replenish his previous consumption.
When dealing with Yang Cheng, he couldn’t be careless at all and had to maintain a sufficient level of true essence at all times.
<Snow Lotus Sword Art>——Flying Sword!
After a while, Ling Xiao launched an attack.
It was still <Snow Lotus Sword Art>, but it was now the first style ‘Flying Snow.’
The first style was the fastest and hardest move to defend against.
Behind him, his Blood Shadow Martial Soul had already disappeared to be replaced by Black Cloud Martial Soul.
This martial soul obtained from a Ren Race martial artist was the most suitable to coordinate with moves that changed the surrounding environment like wind, thunder, rain, electricity, snow and so on attacks.
Black Cloud Martial Soul condensed above Ling Xiao’s head from which snowflakes fell, which accompanied Ling Xiao’s sword light that swept out like a snow dragon.
Crack!
Riiiip!
This sword move directly pierced through the tornado surrounding Yang Cheng. Then, it penetrated his protective true essence layer and left a clear sword wound on Yang Cheng’s shoulder.
This was because Yang Cheng had dodged with his outstanding movement technique. Otherwise, this sword might have directly taken his life.
Half Great Masters were indeed powerful. However, this sword move was strong enough to kill a Half Great Master!
Looking at the injury on his shoulder, although it was not serious, the blow to Yang Cheng’s self-confidence was.
Since the fight had started, this was the third time he had been forced to retreat, and the second time he had been injured!
However, he hadn’t dealt any damage to Ling Xiao yet. At most, he had made Ling Xiao’s face pale.
“Yang Cheng was actually injured again!”
Many onlookers rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking they might be hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could Ling Xiao injure Yang Cheng again and again?
In fact, this was not surprising.
Although Yang Cheng was a lot stronger than Ling Xiao with his cultivation base of only Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein, from the beginning, he had fallen into Ling Xiao’s rhythm.
From the time when Ling Xiao had taken the initiative to attack to making Yang Cheng retreat for the third time, Ling Xiao had led Yang Cheng by the nose.
Under such a situation, it was surprising that he had succeeded in responding to the sudden changes. He couldn’t focus on his strengths.
Without giving his all, he would naturally lose to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had already entered the Enter Soul State and grasped the situation.
He had even grasped the state of Yang Cheng’s true essence, qi and blood.
He knew that Yang Cheng was not only confused, but his true essence was also in chaos.
Therefore, he immediately attacked.
<Snow Lotus Sword Art>, Forth Style——Ice Heart!
<Snow Lotus Sword Art>, First Style——Flying Snow!
With the assistance of his fourth style coordinated with Black Cloud Martial Soul’s amplification, his Floating Snow Sword’s sword light became more powerful; the snowflakes enveloped the challenge stage.
That sword move was as soft as flying snow but swift like lightning.
When its might was released, it was terrifying.
At this moment, in terms of both attack and speed, Ling Xiao’s <Snow Lotus Sword Art> had obviously reached a new height.
