In this collision, Yang Cheng had the absolute upper hand. His attack suppressed Ling Xiao’s attack.
However, the strange thing was that Yang Cheng was still forced to take seven or eight steps back. Ling Xiao, who had suffered the attack, also retreated seven or eight steps. Although his complexion became pale for a moment, it instantly reverted to normal. It seemed that he hadn’t been injured at all.
He was indeed not injured.
Yang Cheng’s attack was powerful, but when it hit him after passing through Thunderclap Extermination, Demonization and Heavenly Dragon Scale Armor, it was greatly weakened.
With how doughty his body was, he didn’t need to care about this small force.
Everyone else might think that the most outstanding aspects of Ling Xiao were his movement technique and attack power, but in fact, he was proudest of his defense and physical strength.
“What’s going on? That Ling Xiao was obviously hit by Senior Brother Yang, but he was actually uninjured?”
Li Anle couldn’t sit still and exclaimed.
“It’s not that simple. I fear his defense is not inferior to Jin Ming’s. As far as I see it, his defense should be his best aspect!”
Liu Qiang was excited. He thought that the result would be determined after that exchange, but beyond his expectations, Ling Xiao gave him another surprise.
“This is impossible. Could it be that he has also cultivated an entry gold-grade defense martial art? Moreover, cultivated it to the sublimity realm? Otherwise, he shouldn’t be able to stop this move. You and I know the power of this move very well!”
“Nothing is impossible. This boy is an unexpected special person. Who among us had thought that he would be able to fight against Yang Cheng? Who among us had thought that he would be able to hurt Yang Cheng? Also, who among us had thought that he actually possessed no less than four martial souls? This is something only a person with a special physique can achieve.”
Liu Qiang’s successive questions left Li Anle completely speechless along with the other quasi-inner disciples who had supported Yang Cheng.
On the challenge stage, the battle was still ongoing.
Upon seeing that his first attack had failed, Yang Cheng took advantage of the situation and launched a second.
It still was——
Wind Rain Dragon Roar!
With sublimity realm <Wind Cloud Art>, he could use this move several times in succession. Although it consumed a lot of energy, he didn’t hesitate to use it to defeat Ling Xiao.
“The same move won’t work on me again!”
Ling Xiao sneered and took it head-on.
<Divine Prison King Fist>–——Thunderclap Ghost King Annihilation!
Because he already understood Yang Cheng’s move, Ling Xiao adopted a different attack strategy.
Kill Life was more powerful, but Ghost King Annihilation was easier to control. Moreover, the soul attack contained in this technique was more powerful.
Ling Xiao believed that one shouldn’t always use one’s strongest attacks but rather use them according to the situation.
In the current situation, Ghost King Annihilation with its comparatively weaker power was more suitable.
After he punched, although his momentum was not any better, the ghost king phantom that appeared on the stage bluffed great strength.
Moreover, Ling Xiao didn’t directly attack from the front. He attacked the weakest point of his opponent’s sword move.
He hadn’t known it before, but now, he would naturally use it.
It was impossible for Yang Cheng to change his move midway even if he realized this.
This move’s attack power was too high, so he was completely unable to retract it freely.
Ultimate techniques were all like this.
Bang!
Boom!
Ling Xiao’s punch smoothly hit the weakest point of Yang Cheng’s sword move. Although Ling Xiao’s current attack was obviously weaker than his previous attack, Thunderclap Kill Life, the result was more amazing.
That dazzling wind dragon was actually destroyed.
Then, Ling Xiao continued to take advantage of this chance, not giving Yang Cheng any chance to think.
Yang Cheng hastily responded, continuously swinging his sword. But the might of his moves was inferior: he had already reached the point of exhaustion.
Bang, bang!
Pow, Pow!
Boom!
After exchanging several blows, Ling Xiao’s attacks grew fiercer and fiercer, because with the passage of time, his true essence would be replenished.
But Yang Cheng’s true essence was only being consumed at a substantial rate. By now, the battle had already lasted an hour, and Yang Cheng had consumed too much true essence.
One was getting stronger and stronger.
One was getting weaker and weaker.
The situation was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye.
Looking at those two people fighting on the stage, the outer disciples had an indescribable taste.
It was obvious that if Yang Cheng didn’t have a trump card, he would definitely lose.
Ling Xiao was a dark horse. His terrifying combat power shocked most of the outer disciples.
After this battle, other than the top-ten outer disciples, no one would dare to easily look for trouble with him.
Even those within the top-ten, they would also have to weigh over the negatives in case they lost.
“Senior Brother Yang will definitely not lose. Ling Xiao’s cultivation base is just Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein. It’s impossible for his true essence to be stronger than Senior Brother Yang’s! or thicker! ——aiyo!”
Li Anle truly didn’t want to believe the facts in front of him. He almost shouted himself hoarse, causing his previous wounds to tear open again, and he involuntarily screamed in pain.
“Didn’t you say that those guys within the top-ten all have a trump card? Shouldn’t Yang Cheng display it now?”
Liu Qiang suddenly said.
“Yes! Yes, the top-ten outer disciples all have a rare-grade artifact in their hands. But Senior Brother Yang has yet to use his so far.”
Li Anle suddenly felt happy.
Since even he had a rare-grade spear, there was no reason Yang Cheng wouldn’t own an artifact of that level.
Since the opponent’s strength was superior, there was nothing wrong with relying on an artifact. It was better than losing embarrassingly.
“Yang Cheng should have two rare-grade artifacts. One is a weapon, as for the other, it’s unclear.”
Liu Qiang muttered: “If he takes out those artifacts, I’m afraid Ling Xiao will lose. What a pity!”
The old outer disciples knew these things, but they had a bad taste in their heart. A dignified tenth-ranked outer disciple actually used an artifact to win. That was a humiliating and laughable matter.
“No, this guy’s true essence seems to be an unending stream. It’s getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, I’ll definitely lose!”
On the challenge stage, Yang Cheng felt stifled.
“I can only use that thing.”
After all, he also wanted to keep face. Therefore, he had never planned to use a weapon to crush his opponent, but Ling Xiao’s performance was too freakish.
According to common sense, the true essence of a Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein Martial Master should have already been exhausted.
Even if he were an Initial or Mid Rank Nine Martial Vein Martial Master, his true essence should be on the verge of exhaustion.
This kid was too weird!
Naturally, he didn’t know that Ling Xiao’s true essence reserves were not inferior to even a Rank One Transcendent Realm powerhouse.
Moreover, the Landscape Martial Soul had a special ability to absorb true essence, which would continuously replenish his lost true essence.
Before Ling Xiao’s true essence was exhausted, Yang Cheng’s true essence would be exhausted completely.
Below the stage, Lan Yu’er’s beautiful eyes shone.
She thought that Ling Xiao’s alchemy talent was already shocking enough, but beyond her expectations, this guy was even more of a freak in terms of combat.
