Chapter 110: Liu Feng and Zhang Xing

“Bo Chao, be careful,” Liu Feng and Zhao Jun cautioned as they watched Zhao Bo Chao prepare to step onto the stage.

Zhao Bo Chao smiled faintly and calmly ascended the arena.

The two exchanged names. Zhao Bo Chao’s face grew serious as he studied his opponent, sensing a hidden, formidable power emanating from him.

At the city lord’s command, the match began. Zhao Bo Chao struck first, curling his five fingers like hooks. Five sharp beams of light extended from his fingertips, resembling razor-sharp steel hooks. He swiftly reached out, attempting to grasp his opponent’s arms.

Sensing the hostile intent, the opponent responded quickly with a punch. A violent force surged forth, like a sweeping hurricane, crashing toward Zhao Bo Chao’s fingers.

“Bang!”

The beams from Zhao Bo Chao’s fingers clashed with the opponent’s fist, producing a muffled boom. A vast force rippled outward, shaking the platform beneath them with resounding cracks.

Both fighters staggered, retreating a few steps.

After a moment’s pause, Zhao Bo Chao launched another attack—a fierce palm strike surged forward like a towering wall, pressing hard against his opponent.

“Good!” the opponent exclaimed, simultaneously thrusting both fists forward. Two massive cyan-colored fist auras surged out, roaring as they collided with the incoming palm force.

“Boom!”

The fist and palm energies collided with tremendous force, shaking the stone platform beneath their feet until it cracked loudly.

“Take this!” the opponent yelled, slapping his palms together rapidly. Waves of overwhelming palm strikes poured forth like a raging river, relentlessly surging toward Zhao Bo Chao.

Zhao Bo Chao’s expression grew grave as dozens of palm shadows approached. He formed his hands into blade-like shapes and swiftly slashed forward. Countless sharp blades of light burst out, slicing through the incoming palm strikes.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The constant clashing of blade light and palm shadows sent shards bursting in all directions.

“I didn’t expect Bo Chao’s opponent to be so strong. They’ve exchanged hundreds of moves and still no victor,” Zhao Jun said with concern, watching the intense battle.

Liu Feng frowned slightly. “It won’t be easy for Bo Chao to win, but there’s still hope. He hasn’t used that sword yet.”

“You mean the long sword from Su Bo, the one from the Fusion Realm?” Zhao Jun’s eyes lit up at Liu Feng’s words.

At that moment, the duel reached its climax.

“Annihilation Slash!” Zhao Bo Chao flipped his palm and drew the long sword, unleashing a dazzling burst of red light.

Holding the sword with both hands, he channeled all his true energy into the blade. A ten-meter-long sword aura condensed, like a divine retribution sword, radiating fierce power as it struck toward his opponent.

“Explosive Fist!” his opponent roared, surging his true energy into his fists. A wild, explosive force erupted from his fists, crashing against the massive sword aura.

“Rumble!”

The collision produced a deafening roar, an explosion of energy that swept outward, shattering the stone slabs of the arena beneath them.

At the same time, people saw a figure soar into the air and crash heavily onto the platform.

“I surrender,” the opponent uttered three words.

Zhao Bo Chao helped him to his feet, and the two stepped down from the stage together.

“That was tough. Your victory wasn’t easy,” Liu Feng remarked with a hint of admiration.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect the opponent to be so strong. Without the Fusion Realm sword, we probably would have both been seriously injured,” Zhao Bo Chao said, looking at the sword in his hand with relief.

As the three conversed, the battles on the arena continued fiercely. In the afternoon, it was Liu Feng’s turn.

With Zhao Jun and Zhao Bo Chao’s encouragement ringing in his ears, Liu Feng leapt onto the stage.

He carefully observed his opponent: a tall, handsome young man clad in azure armor, his eyes shining like stars. A formidable aura radiated from him.

“Liu Feng!”

“Zhang Xing!”

They exchanged names.

“Zhang Xing? I heard he’s a prodigy from the Moon Dream Kingdom, only sixteen but already reached the fourth stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.”

“Not only has he attained the fourth stage, but he can also challenge beyond his rank. Recently, he defeated a renowned expert at the sixth stage of the Yin-Yang Realm.”

“So powerful, this fight won’t be easy for Liu Feng.”

“Indeed, the young talents from Moon Dream Kingdom shouldn’t be underestimated.”

Hearing the crowd’s chatter, Zhao Jun and Zhao Bo Chao grew concerned for Liu Feng.

Liu Feng’s heart tightened as he listened; his expression turned serious.

At the starting command, Zhang Xing struck first. He quickly formed a strange hand seal, releasing a surge of blue light that coalesced into a blue vine.

With a shake of his hands, the vine shot out, coiling rapidly toward Liu Feng.

Liu Feng raised his palm like a blade, a sharp golden blade of light shooting out like an arrow, slashing at the vine.

“Pfft!”

The blade struck the vine, producing a strange sound. Liu Feng felt as if he had cut the surface of water—the vine did not break. This surprised him.

Yet Zhang Xing’s attacks came in quick succession. His hand seals shifted rapidly, casting illusory afterimages. Then, with another shake, he unleashed five more blue vines, swiftly wrapping toward Liu Feng.

Simultaneously, he slammed his palms forward, unleashing a fierce palm force like crashing waves, pressing down on Liu Feng.

“Haah!” In the critical moment, Liu Feng shouted, his true energy surging wildly. A dazzling golden light enveloped him as he once again summoned the golden blade, slashing at the vines.

“Bang! Bang!”

Six sharp sounds echoed as the vines were completely severed by the blade light.

But Zhang Xing’s violent palm force struck Liu Feng’s body.

“Boom!” A tremendous explosion echoed. The crowd could only see the dazzling golden light surrounding Liu Feng, unable to discern his condition.

“This isn’t good. Has Liu Feng been injured so soon?” Zhao Jun worriedly asked, eyes fixed on the stage.

“It shouldn’t be. With Liu Feng’s strength, he should be able to evade this attack,” Zhao Bo Chao replied, eyes narrowing in puzzlement.

“I thought you were so formidable, but you can’t even withstand one of my moves,” Zhang Xing sneered, unable to see Liu Feng’s state but certain his palm had landed.
