218: Physical collision

The radiance dissipated.

Liu Ruyan appeared at the edge of the arena, looking slightly disheveled.

Her face was pale, the purple wall of fire in front of her had collapsed, and her protective spiritual light had dimmed significantly.

She looked at Yao Delong, who stood opposite her, calm and composed with two types of flames slowly swirling around him.

Her eyes were filled with shock and a trace of... admiration.

She took a deep breath to suppress her churning Qi and blood, then bowed gracefully to Yao Delong, her voice filled with heartfelt admiration:

"Junior Brother Yao's fire control technique is truly miraculous. Ruyan... is thoroughly convinced!"

[Ding! Target Liu Ruyan favorability +5, current favorability 45 (Appreciation, Admiration)]

On the high platform, the Dan Chenzi watched this scene.

Far from being annoyed by his Disciple's defeat, he stroked his beard and revealed a look of immense gratification, whispering to Liu Yue, the Peak Master of Spirit Water Peak beside him:

"Junior Sister Liu, did you see that? This kid Delong, his fire control technique already has the bearing of a Great Master!

In time, our Yin Yang Sect will surely produce another giant in the field of alchemy!"

Liu Yue looked at the radiant Yao Delong on the arena, then glanced at her own daughter, Liu Ruyan, whose temperament was gentle but whose eyes were brighter than ever.

A strange light flashed in her eyes as she nodded slightly.

The subsequent matches:

Tuyao Peak's Shi Potian (unparalleled defense, immense strength) VS Heavenly Sword Peak's Zhao Chen (sharp swordsmanship):

Zhao Chen, having learned from his defeat against Lei Qianjun, stopped fighting head-on.

Relying on exquisite footwork and tricky swordsmanship, he constantly sought the weak points in Shi Potian's defense, eventually winning by a narrow margin with a move called 'Armor-Breaking Sword Qi.'

Lei Qianjun VS Liu Ruyan.

Although Liu Ruyan's Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire was strong, facing Lei Qianjun's violent, incomparably fast power of thunder, she could not fully unleash her fire control technique.

She was suppressed by Lei Qianjun's absolute strength and speed, ultimately suffering defeat.

Yao Delong (Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art) VS Shi Potian (Earth Guardian):

Although Shi Potian's defense was strong, under the repeated bombardment of Yao Delong's nine blazing suns and the terrifying penetration power of the Void Splitting Nine Strikes, he eventually exhausted his strength, his defense was broken, and he was defeated.

Yao Delong VS Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen's swordsmanship was exquisite, but he was constrained at every turn by Yao Delong's near-precognitive combat intuition, tough Physical Body defense, and the annihilating properties of the Void Flame Blazing Fire.

Yao Delong did not even use his full strength before using the Void Splitting Nine Strikes to blast Zhao Chen's longsword away and defeat him.

After several fierce battles, the scores became clear:

Yao Delong: Three wins, 9 points.

Lei Qianjun: Three wins, 9 points.

Liu Ruyan: Two wins, two losses, 6 points.

Zhao Chen: One win, three losses, 3 points.

Shi Potian: Four losses, 0 points.

Finally, the Peak battle of the day arrived amidst the bated breath of the masses!

"Final match! Luoxia Peak's Yao Delong, versus, Thunder Marsh Peak's Lei Qianjun!"

The two stepped onto the arena, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy!

The earth-shattering battle yesterday between Yao Delong and Xiao Chen was still fresh in everyone's memory, and Lei Qianjun, as the top core Disciple of the previous generation, was equally unfathomable!

"Junior Brother Yao!" Lei Qianjun's voice was like a booming bell, his eyes extremely solemn.

Lightning crackled uncontrollably around his body, forming a violent domain of thunder,

"The battle yesterday was breathtaking! Today, please fight with all your might!"

"Senior Brother Lei, please!"

Yao Delong's gaze was sharp. Inside his body, the Great Sun Body Forging Art and the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art operated at high speed simultaneously.

His Qi and blood were like a furnace, and his spiritual power was like an angry tide!

"Roar—!!!"

Without any probing!

Lei Qianjun knew of Yao Delong's terror, so he unleashed his strongest killing move right from the start!

"Dragon Transformation!"

He let out an inhuman roar toward the sky, and his entire person was instantly swallowed by blinding blue lightning!

A blue Dragon, tens of feet long with ferocious claws, entirely condensed from violent thunder, tore through the air and rushed toward Yao Delong with the terrifying momentum to destroy everything!

The Dragon's roar shook the sky, and the lightning illuminated the world!

Facing this terrifying strike that would make an ordinary Golden Core Perfection cultivator collapse instantly, Battle Intent burned in Yao Delong's eyes!

"Void Flame, transform into Kunpeng!"

The dark red Void Flame Blazing Fire surged out, instantly transforming into an equally massive, semi-transparent dark red flame Kunpeng!

The Kunpeng spread its wings, carrying the scorching heat that could burn the Void Realm, and struck head-on against the blue Dragon!

Rumble—!!!

The ultimate collision of thunder and fire! The blinding light blinded countless people instantly!

Violent energy shockwaves swept across the entire arena like a tsunami!

The protective light screen twisted violently, emitting a groan of being unable to bear the load!

The Dragon roared, and the lightning exploded! The Kunpeng cried out, and the Void Flame burned the sky!

The two crazily bit, collided, and annihilated each other!

However, although the Void Flame Blazing Fire was strong, it was ultimately an inanimate object.

Faced with the Dragon Transformation that Lei Qianjun had poured all his strength into and which contained a trace of the true intent of thunder, it only supported a few dozen fierce impacts before letting out a mournful cry and collapsing!

The remaining destructive force roared toward Yao Delong!

The ferocious Dragon head and violent lightning were right in front of him!

At the critical moment, sharp light exploded in Yao Delong's eyes. Instead of retreating, he took a step forward!

His Qi and blood exploded like a volcano, and he operated the Nine Yang Heaven Burning Art to the limit.

Beneath his skin, it felt as if lava was flowing, emitting a scorching high temperature!

On his hands, blinding golden-red light instantly condensed, and a sharp aura that could tear space and shatter all things permeated the air!

"Void Splitting Nine Strikes—First Move, Severing the Flow!"

Yao Delong roared low. His right fist, like a red-hot branding iron, threw a punch without any bells and whistles, carrying the resolute will to sever rivers!

Where the fist passed, the air was torn apart, making a piercing screech!

A condensed golden-red fist aura, like a divine axe opening the world, ruthlessly hacked onto the ferocious head of the Dragon!

Boom—!!!

The deafening explosion resounded through the sky!

The violent power of thunder and the sharp Void Splitting fist aura collided and annihilated each other crazily!

The Dragon's forward momentum was forced to a halt, the lightning at its head fluctuated violently, and it was actually chopped into a depression by this punch, with countless fine lightning snakes flying in all directions!

"Roar!"

The Dragon let out a painful roar, and its huge tail, carrying the power of ten thousand jun of thunder, swept across like a pillar of heaven!

"Second Move, Shattering the Mountain!"

Yao Delong's figure was like lightning. Instead of retreating, he advanced.

He clenched his left fist, the golden-red light becoming even more intense, and met the sweeping thunderous tail with the terrifying power to shatter mountains!

Boom!

Another earth-shattering loud noise!

Where the fist and tail met, the space seemed to twist!

Violent power shockwaves exploded in a ring! Yao Delong's figure swayed slightly, and the arena under his feet cracked inch by inch!

And that thick thunderous Dragon tail was actually blasted high into the air by this punch, with a large area of lightning dissipating!

"Good! Refreshing!"

The Dragon's mouth let out Lei Qianjun's wild laughter.

The huge Dragon body spun suddenly, and two Dragon claws wrapped in destructive thunder, like two mountains of thunder, grabbed down at Yao Delong from left and right!

It blocked all his space for dodging!

"Third Move, Breaking the Army!"

"Fourth Move, Splitting the Void!"

Yao Delong's eyes were cold, and he threw both fists!

His left fist was like a meteor breaking through a formation, carrying an unstoppable penetrating power, striking directly at the palm of the left Dragon claw!

His right fist vibrated strangely, ripples appearing in the space around his fist, and with the sharpness of tearing the Void Realm, it slashed toward the wrist of the right Dragon claw!
