Battle against Lin Feng

Xiao Ming ignored the discussions of the crowd below.

Instead, he scanned his gaze across everyone, and his eyes met Lin Feng's.

Lin Feng's gaze was fiery, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was eager to be unleashed.

Then, with a flicker of his body, he soared through the air and landed steadily on the high platform.

"Senior Brother Xiao, I've wanted to fight you for a long time," Lin Feng said with a smile, carrying a fiery red longsword on his back. "Today, during the Grand Competition, we can have a full-fledged duel!"

"I had the same idea."

Xiao Ming also smiled.

Then, the two stopped talking and looked at each other with serious expressions.

For a moment, the high platform fell silent.

Below the stage, when they saw Lin Feng enter, everyone was stunned.

"This is... Lin Feng, the famous good-for-nothing in the sect?"

"What good-for-nothing? Lin Feng is the disciple of Grand Elder Su Tianming, and he's also very close with Su Jin. He's a well-known figure in the sect," someone retorted.

"More importantly, Lin Feng has already cultivated to the early Danhu Realm; he's no longer a good-for-nothing."

"Oh? Lin Feng's aura is also so terrifying, he really is in the Danhu Realm! When did he advance? How did he cultivate so fast?!"

At this moment.

Someone next to them said, "Even if Lin Feng has shed the name of 'good-for-nothing' and his strength is formidable, he probably isn't Senior Brother Xiao's match."

"That's right! Even Wei Tong, who is in the late stage, was defeated by Senior Brother Xiao. In my opinion, Lin Feng definitely isn't Senior Brother Xiao's opponent either!"

"Who's to say!"

Discussions erupted again below the stage, mostly not favoring Lin Feng but supporting Xiao Ming.

On the high platform.

Lin Feng was not affected by these chaotic sounds. After gazing at Xiao Ming for a moment, a scorching fire suddenly surged from Lin Feng's body.

The next moment.

Lin Feng and Xiao Ming moved simultaneously!

Whoosh!

Lin Feng transformed into a flash of fire, charging towards Xiao Ming with powerful force, while Xiao Ming also transformed into a gust of wind, shooting towards the attacking Lin Feng.

Their speed was extremely fast, like two giant beasts, crashing fiercely into each other.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Boom, boom!!"

The figures of the two were extremely blurry and moved at high speed on the high platform; others simply couldn't see what they were doing.

They only heard a series of dull thuds from flesh being struck, sounding as dense as raindrops.

Neither of them drew their swords; they were purely fighting with the strength of their physical bodies!

"Bang!"

Another low sound echoed.

The gust of wind and the flash of fire dissipated simultaneously, and Xiao Ming and Lin Feng moved past each other, once again pulling apart.

After retreating more than ten steps, Xiao Ming said with a smile, "You are very good. Your powerful fire-attribute strength is quite overbearing. If it were an ordinary Danhu Realm mid-stage cultivator, they would probably have already been burned by your fire energy."

"Senior Brother Xiao is too modest. Your strength is greater than mine; I have to admit that."

Lin Feng rubbed his aching fists and arms, his expression growing even more serious.

During the recent struggle, he clearly felt that Xiao Ming's strength was even more formidable, which was evident from their last clash.

Xiao Ming only retreated more than ten steps, while he retreated nearly thirty steps!

In terms of pure physical strength, he was not Xiao Ming's opponent!

"However, the strength of a martial artist depends more on the power of their martial skills, Senior Brother Xiao, I'm getting serious!"

Lin Feng let out a low shout, then drew the fiery red longsword from his back.

As the longsword emerged, a scorching fire intent immediately spread like a tide. At this moment, the temperature on the high platform rose by more than ten degrees out of thin air.

Xiao Ming did not dare to be careless and likewise drew his Nu Lei Sword.

As the Nu Lei Sword appeared, numerous tiny blue electrical arcs materialized on the stage. The arcs leaped and covered Xiao Ming's entire body.

One is fire-attribute, the other is lightning-attribute!

Both of these powers are famously overbearing and possess immense destructive capability. Next, it remains to be seen who will gain the upper hand.

"Lin Feng, you and I are both exceptional martial artists. Next, let's decide the victor in one move!"

Xiao Ming held the Nu Lei Sword, performed a sword flourish, and said indifferently.

"Good! Senior Brother Xiao, you better be ready, I won't hold back!" Lin Feng lightly shouted, immediately raising the Fire Devouring Sword in his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The Fire Devouring Sword spewed a torrent of flames, which shot straight into the sky, thereby drawing the sun above!

Upon being summoned by Lin Feng, all the sunlight within a thousand-meter radius seemed to be attracted, madly surging towards him.

As the light vanished, the entire plaza suddenly dimmed, as if entering a state of twilight.

Then.

Under astonished gazes, those scorching rays of sunlight formed a thick pillar of fire in Lin Feng's hand, piercing straight into the sky.

The thick pillar of fire, with one end connected to Lin Feng and the other to the sky, appeared on the high platform like a sky-supporting pillar.

It was extremely dazzling and eye-catching!

Some low-strength disciples below the stage didn't even dare to look directly at the pillar of fire, because the power it emitted was too terrifying; just one glance could potentially burn out their eyes.

Upon seeing that Lin Feng could actually unleash such a terrifying sword skill, the disciples below the stage were stunned.

"This, this, this, isn't Lin Feng only in the early Danhu Realm? How can the sword skill he unleashes be so frightening!?"

"I don't know, could it be that Lin Feng cultivated some powerful cultivation method?"

"The power emanating from this pillar of fire is too astonishing. I'm afraid one sword strike could even defeat a strong cultivator at the Danhu Realm Great Perfection."

"That powerful? Then it's over, Senior Brother Xiao doesn't have a guaranteed victory."

"You can't say that! Don't forget, Senior Brother Xiao hasn't gone all out either!"

Just as everyone was discussing animatedly.

In the distance.

Su Tianming was the first to stand up from his seat, looking at Lin Feng on the high platform with both surprise and wonder.

"As expected of my good disciple, the sword skill Lin Feng is using is actually so astonishing!" Su Tianming's face was full of smugness. He exhaled a turbid breath and said proudly,

"With such strength, Lin Feng is sure to have a place among the top three in this Grand Competition."

"He might even take the first place and become the champion of the Grand Competition!"

After speaking, Su Tianming provocatively glanced at Li Changfeng next to him.

Li Changfeng did not speak, but his expression was serious.

He could intuitively feel that Lin Feng's move was indeed powerful; even a strong cultivator at the Danhu Realm Great Perfection might not be able to withstand his attack.

Xiao Ming is in danger... On the high platform.

Lin Feng controlled the thick pillar of fire, then violently swung it towards Xiao Ming!

"Great Sun Fire Pillar, Slash!"

"Rumble!"

The massive Great Sun Fire Pillar, carrying a terrifying scorching heat, poured down with overwhelming force, then heavily slashed towards Xiao Ming.

Where the pillar of fire passed, vital energy vibrated, and sounds boomed!

Just then.

Xiao Ming moved!

A similarly thick, hundred-meter-long, five-colored sword shadow materialized in Xiao Ming's hand, then likewise carried astonishing sword might and slashed down!

Great Sun Fire Pillar VS Five-Colored Sword Shadow!

Two terrifying sword skills were about to collide!
