The two of them were only Martial Masters and the Spiritual Qi in their bodies was not enough to detach them from their weapons. Thus, they could only rely on it.
BOOM!
The weapons of the two collided with each other, creating sparks. At the same time, a shockwave was emitted from the point of collision.
In the next moment, the two separated. Ling Tian fell towards the ground while Qin Wu was sent flying into the sky.
Ling Tian somersaulted in the air before landing on the arena, his body continuously moving backwards, his long sword leaving a white mark on the stage. He had to retreat for at least 10 metres before he managed to stabilize his body, using his sword to support himself, as his right leg was half-kneeling on the stage. His face was abnormally red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
On the other side, Qin Wu's body fell to the ground as well. After falling back several meters, he managed to stabilize himself. Half kneeling on the stage, he felt the blood in his chest boil as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"To think that both sides were injured, Qin Wu is actually this strong." The audience went into an uproar again as they looked at the two people on the stage in disbelief, unwilling to believe this result.
"Is that so?" Ling Tian coldly snorted, "Aren't you looking down on me a little too much!?" Do you think you're the only one who's improved these past few months? If you want to defeat me, with your current strength, it's not enough. "
After which, he straightened his body and an aura stronger than before emanated from his body.
"Late Martial Master!" "To think that Heir Ling Tian has already broken through to the late stage of Martial Master. It seems like Qin Wu has failed his challenge again." Feeling the aura being released from Ling Tian's body, the audience was once again in a state of shock.
"Third Brother actually broke through to the late stage of Martial Master?" However, he immediately nodded his head and thought to himself, "This is not strange. His third brother had already broken through to the middle stage of the Martial Master realm half a year ago. With his talent, breaking through to a small realm in half a year is not strange at all."
Qin Wu's talent was not any worse than his. Even if Qin Wu did not break through, he should still be close to it! "Hur hur, it will be exciting when the time comes."
He looked at Qin Feng, who was beside him, and revealed an expression of anticipation. It was obvious that the two friends were thinking of the same thing.
"Ling Tian, I didn't expect that you had already broken through to the late stage of Martial Master!" Qin Wu looked at Ling Tian, the fighting intent in his eyes becoming even stronger, "But do you think that you're the only one who has broken through to the late stage of Martial Master?"
"Hmm?" Ling Tian slightly frowned as he looked at Qin Wu, and the rest of the people below the stage also looked at Qin Wu.
Ling Yun and Qin Feng glanced at each other, and could not help but smile as they shook their heads. They had indeed guessed correctly.
"Hehe!" Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Qin Wu's body began to emit crackling sounds akin to fried beans. His body seemed to grow a bit taller, and soon after, an aura that was not weaker than Ling Tian's was emitted from his body.
However, compared to Ling Tian, his aura was weak and unstable. It was likely due to his recent breakthrough.
"Good one, Qin Wu!" Ling Tian's face darkened as he looked at Qin Wu, gritting his teeth as he said, "You bastard, you actually dare to use me to help you break through."
"Hehe!" Qin Wu revealed a cunning smile again. The crowd was speechless as they once again had a new understanding of Qin Wu.
"Then let's keep fighting!" Ling Tian looked at Qin Wu as he smiled evilly. He wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and said while gritting his teeth, "I will help you consolidate your cultivation."
After speaking, he raised his long sword and circulated his wind-attribute spiritual energy to rush towards Qin Wu. This fellow actually dared to make use of him to break through to the next realm.
Qin Wu's expression slightly changed. After all, he had only broken through to the late stage of Martial Master. His aura was weak and his realm had not stabilized yet. He was not able to unleash his full strength.
On the other hand, Ling Tian was different. His aura was steady and he did not reveal anything. Presumably, he had already broken through to the late stage of Martial Master for some time.
However, he was not afraid at all. As a late stage Martial Master, even if Ling Tian had consolidated his cultivation, he could still unleash his full power.
Ling Tian could at most suppress him, but he could also rely on this battle to consolidate the cultivation base that he had just broken through. Once the two of them were both injured, it was unknown who would be the victor.
Looking at Ling Tian who was rushing towards him, Qin Wu retreated as he swung his blade.
"Humph!" Ling Tian let out an angry snort, the light green wind attributed Spiritual Qi beneath his feet flashing. His body rotated strangely as he appeared beside Qin Wu like the wind, slashing his sword towards Qin Wu's waist.
The reason why he kept losing to Ling Tian, other than the fire energy from Ling Tian restraining his metal-type spiritual energy, was because of this strange wind-type spiritual energy. The speed of wind cultivators was extremely fast, like the wind, and their attacks were not as powerful as metal-type martial artists, but their speed was known to be far behind metal-type martial artists.
Only a thunder-attribute martial artist could compare to a wind-attribute martial artist in terms of speed. Not only was a thunder-attribute martial artist fast, but their attack power was also extremely powerful, no weaker than a metal-attribute martial artist.
Thunder was as strong as the sun, containing within it the most powerful destructive dao principles. Reportedly, the Way of Destruction was one of the laws of nature, and it was incomparably powerful. It was able to restrain the most gentle yin of the water elements, as well as the dark elements … In terms of speed, it could be compared to the Wind element, and in terms of offense, it could be compared to the Metal element.
Qin Wu quickly held his blade horizontally in front of his chest to block Ling Tian's sword.
The tip of the sword, which was flickering with fire, stabbed into the broad blade, causing a burst of sparks to fly out. Qin Wu felt a strong force come from the blade. The blade hit his chest before he was pushed back uncontrollably as his Qi and blood tumbled.
Qin Wu's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness as he used both his hands to block Ling Tian's sword, his right leg kicking out towards Ling Tian with lightning speed.
Ling Tian's expression did not change as he similarly sent a kick towards Qin Wu's leg. However, the moment he lifted his leg, the strength in his hand was slightly weakened.
As he was retreating, Ling Tian's body spun and a blazing sword figure left the sword's body, shooting towards Qin Wu.
Seeing this, Qin Wu lamented in his heart. However, he had no choice but to retract his saber and block Ling Tian's sword radiance. His injuries were already heavier than Ling Tian's, and if he were to exchange blows with Ling Tian, he would soon be defeated.
"Whirlwind!" Ling Tian gave a light shout and a long sword swept out. Numerous wind blades condensed and flew crazily towards Qin Wu. In order to quickly end the battle, he once again used a martial skill.
"Sky Crossing Style!" Qin Wu didn't want to be outdone, so he swung his broadsword and slashed at the wind blades …
"It's almost over!" Below the arena, everyone held their breath as they watched the wonderful battle unfold. Ling Yun spoke out.
"Ling Yun, who do you think will win?" He had already asked this question more than once.
Ling Yun looked at him helplessly, then turned back to the stage and chuckled: "Although Qin Wu has also broken through to the late stage of the Martial Master realm, his realm is not stable, it is only a matter of time before he loses, don't you see that Qin Wu is gradually losing? "I'm just holding on for a bit longer."
Qin Feng frowned and looked at Ling Yun, saying, "Don't tell me that you are just spouting nonsense just because Ling Tian is your brother?! Now that the two of them are evenly matched, where did Qin Wu fall into a disadvantage? "
Just as the two of them were conversing, two loud shouts came from the arena, followed by a shockwave. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the explosion of spiritual energy blocked the silhouettes of Ling Tian and Xiao Xun.
"Who won?" Aside from Ling Yun, everyone else had this question in their hearts as they watched the light of spirit energy dissipate.
"Qin Wu lost!" At the same time, he got up and slowly walked towards the stage.
"Ugh!" Qin Feng shook his head helplessly. The stage was covered by the glow of Spiritual Energy. The situation above was unclear, and even he, who had already broken through to Martial Master, could not see through it. How could Ling Yun, a person who had never cultivated before, clearly see the situation inside?
The rest of the people all looked at Ling Yun with looks of contempt, and nobody knew where they were talking. Everyone could clearly see that Qin Wu and Ling Tian were evenly matched, and there was no way to tell who would win in a short period of time.
Only the middle-aged referee looked at Lingyun with surprise. This place was his highest cultivation level, and the dust and spiritual energy light on the stage could not obstruct his gaze, so he could clearly see everything that was happening inside.
"Can he see what's going on inside?" The middle-aged referee suddenly had this thought in his mind, as he immediately shook his head and laughed involuntarily. How was this possible?
In the entire Soaring Cloud Empire, who didn't know that the Battle King's heir, Lingyun, was a trash that couldn't cultivate? He had completely disgraced his father.
One had to know that back then, Ling Zhan was the number one genius of the Soaring Cloud Empire. Only fifteen years ago did something happen that caused him to gradually fall silent.
The middle-aged referee looked at Ling Yun with sympathy, and shook his head, "Perhaps it was his random guess! Over 90% of the people here are martial artists, so no one can clearly see the situation inside, let alone someone like him who has never cultivated before. "
Towards the eyes of the crowd, Lingyun shook his head, not caring at all.
He couldn't possibly fight with those people and turn red just for this matter!
What did other people's doubts have to do with him, and why did he have to act based on others' expressions?
The dust and spiritual energy enveloping the arena gradually dispersed, revealing the situation within.
"How is this possible?" When they saw the situation inside, everyone below the stage had the same thought. One by one, they looked at Ling Yun, who had an indifferent expression, as he slowly walked towards the stage.
"He must have guessed it. That's right, he must have guessed it. We martial artists can't see it clearly. How could a trash like him see it clearly?" They comforted themselves in their hearts, and their gazes towards Ling Yun changed back into looks of disdain.
Qin Feng followed closely behind Ling Yun, feeling extremely shocked in his heart. He never thought that what Ling Yun said would actually be the truth.
