Chapter 64 The Ice Kingdom Competition (7)
Bingqing's figure moved across the battlefield like a ghost, each dodge precise and accurate, as if she had already anticipated Ren Qifeng's attack trajectory. Every movement she made carried an elusive rhythm, making it impossible for Ren Qifeng's attacks to touch her in the slightest.
As the battle progressed, Bingqing gradually began to reveal her true strength. The longsword in her hand seemed alive, each swing carrying a sharp, piercing aura that sliced through the surrounding air with a shrill whistling sound. Bingqing's swordsmanship was not only incredibly swift but also unpredictable, making each attack elusive and difficult for Ren Qifeng to anticipate.
Although Ren Qifeng possessed profound cultivation, his defenses proved somewhat inadequate against Bingqing's swordsmanship. While his magical power was formidable, he was unable to mount an effective counterattack against Bingqing's exquisite swordsmanship. Bingqing's sword energy, like the biting winter wind, was all-pervasive, gradually weakening Ren Qifeng's defenses.
Finally, in a brilliant sword combination, Bingqing found Ren Qifeng's weakness. Her longsword pierced through Ren Qifeng's defenses like lightning, striking his vital point.
Ren Qifeng's nascent soul power seemed so fragile at this moment. His body was sent flying backward by the impact of the sword energy and crashed heavily to the ground.
Bingqing stood still, her longsword already sheathed, her face showing no trace of smugness, only a faint composure.
"In the first match of the top fourteen in the Ice Kingdom competition, Bing Qing won."
"This is the Pure Fairy."
"I am the dog of the Ice Fairy."
"The Pure Fairy! The Pure Fairy!"
"The Ice Kingdom's top fourteen competition, second match: Fan Chen, mid-Nascent Soul stage, versus Linghu Chong, mid-Nascent Soul stage. Please enter the arena."
"Fellow Daoist Fan, we must not let Linghu Chong delay us."
"must."
As soon as the referee announced the result, the atmosphere in the stands instantly erupted. The two equally matched masters, Fan Chen and Linghu Chong, both at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, were about to engage in a fierce duel.
Fan Chen's figure flashed into the arena like lightning, his eyes resolute and calm. He swiftly formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and then summoned his magical treasure—an ancient gourd.
"It's Master Fanchen's gourd! What an incredible stroke of luck!"
"It seems Master Fan intends to end this battle instantly."
The gourd spun in the air, emitting a faint light, and a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from it.
Linghu Chong was not to be outdone. Holding a longsword, he moved with the grace of a nimble fox, quickly entering battle stance. His swordsmanship was superb; each strike contained powerful sword intent, seemingly poised to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
However, just as Linghu Chong was about to launch an attack, the treasure gourd of the mortal world suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the gourd flew up automatically, from which a long sword exuding a sharp sword aura flew out.
This sword is no ordinary object; it is Fan Chen's natal sword, which he has maintained with his life essence over many years. It is connected to his mind and spirit and possesses immense power. In the past, Fan Chen used this sword to kill many powerful enemies.
The longsword drew a graceful arc in the air, heading straight for Linghu Chong with lightning speed. Although Linghu Chong reacted quickly, he was still a step too slow in the face of this sudden attack.
The longsword struck his defensive shield with perfect accuracy, producing a loud bang. Linghu Chong's shield shattered instantly, and his body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
A hush fell over the entire arena; everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events. The mortal's attack was so swift and powerful that Linghu Chong had no chance to react. The referee quickly stepped forward to check on Linghu Chong, confirming that he had only suffered minor injuries and was otherwise unharmed.
Fan Chen retrieved his magical weapon and nodded slightly to Linghu Chong in respect. Although Linghu Chong had lost, there was no frustration in his eyes; instead, a hint of admiration appeared. He stood up, cupped his hands in salute to Fan Chen, and acknowledged his defeat.
"In the second match of the fourteen-team competition in the Ice Kingdom, Fan Chen won."
"The third match of the top fourteen in the Ice Kingdom competition is between Gela, who is in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and Xueyu, who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage. Please enter the arena."
A moment later...
"In the third match of the fourteen-team competition in the Ice Kingdom, Xueyu won."
How did Gela make it to the round of 14?
"Delicious food!"
"A new star of snow and rain is about to be born."
"In the fourth match of the fourteenth round of the Ice Kingdom competition, Luo Heijiao, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, faced off against Luo Shuangmian, a seventh-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."
