Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Purple Qi From the East
"Father, who do you think will win?" Zi Yuan looked at the two people in the square, her red lips pursed, appearing somewhat anxious.
Zi Hongyuan pondered for a moment before replying, "It’s hard to say. Li Feng’s cultivation is higher than Luo Feng’s. Moreover, he’s a martial arts fanatic, so his Martial Arts realm is profound and shouldn’t be underestimated. Luo Feng has comprehended the Grand Momentum. It’s hard to tell who will win if they fight; it will likely be a protracted battle."
In the second pavilion, Young Master Hanshan, Qin Honglie, sneered.
"This Luo Feng truly doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Li Feng’s cultivation is above his, yet he dares to boast that he’ll end it quickly!"
"All the better. Let’s see how he steps down when he loses!"
Qin Huan’s expression was savage. He suddenly looked to the side and saw He Qin’s gaze fixed on Luo Feng, prompting a cold snort from him.
CHIII!
In the square, Li Feng moved like lightning. His sword gleam, resembling purple lightning in the night sky, was incredibly fast, reaching Luo Feng in the blink of an eye.
Facing the sword light, Luo Feng didn’t retreat or evade. Within three feet around him, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder. He threw a punch, and a sword-shaped Gang Qi shot out, fiercely smashing onto the Sword Shadow.
When the fist Gang and sword light met, the surrounding air vibrated violently. The precious sword, forged from refined steel, was actually bent severely under the pressure.
OMMM!
The sword suddenly sprang straight. The immense impact forced Li Feng back more than ten steps.
Such powerful Yuan Qi!
Li Feng was greatly shocked. He hadn’t expected Luo Feng’s fist Gang to be so powerful; he had almost failed to block it.
A wave of gasps also arose in the square.
Everyone was surprised that Li Feng would be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation.
"What the hell is this Li Feng doing? Why isn’t he quickly using his full strength to defeat this kid!" Qin Huan stood up excitedly from his seat, clenching his fists tightly, his face full of indignation. Seeing Luo Feng in the spotlight made him extremely upset.
Li Feng narrowed his eyes, his entire aura becoming sword-like as he stared at Luo Feng. "You are indeed the number one new talent of Flowing Cloud Region. However, it’s impossible for you to defeat me!"
As his words fell, beams of purple light burst from his body, twisting into five strands of purple Sword Qi that shuttled ceaselessly around him.
CHIII!
The purple Sword Qi swept across the ground, instantly creating a massive, shocking sword mark.
BOOM!
Li Feng stomped on the ground, and his entire body shot into the air.
The five strands of purple Sword Qi swelled in the wind, transforming into five enormous ribbons that spiraled around him, illuminating the entire square with purple light.
"Purple Qi From the East!"
Li Feng shouted loudly, his body spinning. His figure, carrying the five strands of purple Sword Qi, descended from the sky. The sword’s momentum stirred up fierce sounds of wind and thunder, its power like a mountain.
Luo Feng’s brow twitched slightly. He didn’t move an inch, his gaze fixed on Li Feng in mid-air.
"Teng Dragon’s Gang Qi!"
A faint dragon’s roar echoed in the square. A domineering intent spread out, carrying a terrifying pressure.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ribbon-like purple Sword Gang struck the black, dragon-shaped Gang Qi, causing violent explosions. The Gang Qi twisted slightly, then immediately recovered!
"How is this possible! Li Feng’s Purple Qi From the East Sword Qi was actually blocked!"
Qin Honglie’s eyes looked like they would split. He slammed his palm down forcefully, and with a CRACK!, a large piece of the hard Purple Cloud Stone table was shattered by his grip.
Purple Qi From the East was a martial art move from Changxin Academy’s Purple Qi Innate Sword Technique. It was Profound Level, Lower Grade, a sword technique with astonishing killing power. When executed by Li Feng, with his mid-stage Eighth Layer Hell Realm cultivation, even Martial Artists at the late-stage Eighth Layer Hell Realm wouldn’t dare underestimate it. Yet now, Luo Feng had easily blocked it!
Interesting.
Li Hanshan, who had kept his eyes closed, had unknowingly opened them. He looked at Luo Feng, who was protected by the dragon-shaped Gang Qi, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Let’s see how many of my sword strikes you can block!"
His sure-kill strike had failed to harm Luo Feng in the slightest. Li Feng was also somewhat angered. He madly circulated the Yuan Qi in his body, and his figure rose higher again. Dozens of purple sword shadows appeared, their sharp Sword Qi cutting the air in the square until it shattered inch by inch.
"Purple Qi Shining Heaven!"
With a loud shout, Li Feng swung his longsword. Dozens of purple Sword Qi landed on the sword, merging together. Finally, they formed a massive sword light over four zhang long, carrying a tearing Qi Force as it pressed down on Luo Feng from above.
The strong wind blew Luo Feng’s black hair across his eyes. He narrowed his eyes, and two blade-shaped phantoms flashed in his pupils. A mountain-like momentum erupted from his body.
"Breaking Sky Fist!"
The surrounding space twisted instantly, and the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth merged into Luo Feng’s punch.
BOOM!
Luo Feng’s eyes were like a fierce tiger’s. His domineering fist Gang, fused with the Grand Momentum, surged upwards, transforming into a blade-shaped Qi Force that slammed into the purple sword light.
Space stilled for a moment. The blade-shaped fist Gang and the purple sword light desperately resisted each other, both wanting to devour the other.
BOOM!
After a brief silence, a thunderous explosion finally erupted.
The blade-shaped fist Gang and the purple sword light shattered into countless broken Qi Forces, shooting out in all directions with immense power.
CHICHICHICHI...
The Qi Force shot into the square, instantly piercing numerous deep pits, densely packed together.
The elders of Changxin Academy, guarding the perimeter of the square, all took action, unleashing walls of Gang Qi to intercept the remaining Qi Force.
"Such terrifying Qi Force! It’s truly hard to believe they are only teenagers!"
Many spectators felt a lingering fear. The sound of the impact just now almost made many Martial Artists with insufficient cultivation vomit blood.
BANG!
A figure fell from mid-air, smashing a three-meter-wide deep pit into the square. It was Li Feng.
Li Feng, supporting himself with his longsword, staggered to his feet.
At this moment, his clothes were tattered, his hair disheveled, and there were many bloodstains on his body. He looked extremely wretched, yet his eyes, still burning with fighting spirit, remained fixed on Luo Feng.
"Impressive! I, Li, admire you!"
Li Feng said to Luo Feng, then spat out another mouthful of fresh blood and, with a THUD!, fainted.
That punch just now not only shattered his Sword Qi but even forced some of it to recoil back, severely injuring him.
SWISH!
A figure landed beside Li Feng, took out a medicinal pill, and had Li Feng swallow it. It was Elder Chen, who was responsible for the competition.
"These two are so strong! Especially Luo Feng, defeating Li Feng in just two moves. I thought he was just boasting earlier, but now it seems he has the qualifications to be arrogant."
"Yes, that punch earlier was fused with the Grand Momentum. Even from this far away, I felt very uncomfortable, as if a stone was pressing on my heart."
"I heard that the Grand Momentum is the will of heaven and earth and can vanquish all evils and ghosts. It seems to be true."
"Comprehending the Grand Momentum is a one-in-a-million occurrence. This child’s future achievements are limitless!"
Looking at the youth standing awe-inspiringly in the square, many people sighed with emotion. Of course, there was even more jealousy.
The improvement of cultivation can only be achieved step by step. But if one can comprehend the Grand Momentum, their strength can advance by leaps and bounds.
As Martial Artists, strength is their lifelong pursuit. If they could comprehend even a tiny bit of the Grand Momentum, they wouldn’t hesitate to spend their entire fortune.
In the pavilion, Zi Hongyuan and Zhou Zhiyun exhaled simultaneously, relieved smiles appearing on their faces.
Luo Feng defeating Li Feng had earned considerable face for their four great academies.
Damn it!
Inside the Ivy School’s pavilion, Qin Huan listened to the surrounding discussions, his face full of resentment.
He had been watching He Qin. Her gaze remained fixed on Luo Feng, and occasionally, a smile would even grace her lips.
Qin Huan had known He Qin for so long and had never seen her smile. This made Qin Huan burn with anger, wishing he could rush onto the stage and tear Luo Feng to shreds himself.
"Qin Huan, he’s just being arrogant for a while. Senior Brother Qin will teach him a lesson soon," Li Jun, who had been soundly defeated by Bing Ruolan and hated everyone from the Purple Sun School, suddenly said.
"That’s right, Second Brother, you don’t need to worry. The higher everyone praises him now, the harder he’ll fall when I defeat him." Qin Honglie had actually calmed down by now, a cold smile appearing on his face.
Luo Feng defeating Li Feng didn’t disappoint Qin Honglie; instead, he felt somewhat fortunate.
Although Li Feng was only half a step away from becoming Young Master level, that half-step was a world of difference.
Qin Honglie was confident that Luo Feng was not his opponent.
The more Luo Feng showed off now, the harder he could crush him when he defeated Luo Feng!
"Big Brother, I just can’t swallow this!"
Qin Huan looked at Luo Feng, who had returned to the pavilion and was chatting and laughing with He Qin, his face turning ashen.
Qin Honglie followed Qin Huan’s gaze, then frowned. "Those destined for great things don’t sweat the small stuff. Second Brother, once you become a strong expert, women will line up for you to choose."
"Big Brother, I understand."
Qin Huan nodded forcefully, his eyes suddenly becoming incomparably savage. He abruptly stood up and sneered, "However, what I can’t have, no one else can either!"
As his words fell, Qin Huan walked directly into the square.
"Qin Huan of Ivy School challenges He Qin of Tianlan School!"
Qin Huan shouted loudly, his eyes fixed firmly on He Qin. "He Qin, do you dare to fight!"
Hmm?
Luo Feng was slightly surprised. When Qin Huan entered the square, he thought Qin Huan would challenge him. He hadn’t expected it to be He Qin.
"He Qin, Qin Huan is challenging you. He probably harbors ill intentions. Will you accept or not?" Luo Feng sensed Qin Huan’s unfriendly gaze and frowned.
He Qin smiled and stood up. Her slender fingers brushed over her sword, Cold Snow, as she said,
"I haven’t settled the score with him for what happened on Yunlan Peak last time. Since he has delivered himself to my doorstep, why wouldn’t I accept?"
Luo Feng nodded. He wasn’t worried about He Qin’s strength, but he reminded her to be wary of Qin Huan’s other tactics.
SWISH!
He Qin tapped her foot and floated lightly into the square as if she weighed nothing.
"It’s the Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin, from Tianlan School! She was Flowing Cloud Region’s number one new talent last year."
"Heavenly Fragrant Woman, He Qin. I’ve heard of her too. Her Invisible Sword Technique is formless and shadowless, injuring people imperceptibly. It’s very formidable!"
"However, Qin Huan isn’t simple either. The Falling Maple Swordsmanship he cultivates is, like the Invisible Sword Technique, a type of Fast Sword. Once the sword is drawn, it differentiates into myriad forms. It’s Ivy School’s renowned killing sword technique."
"Yes, both are masters of Sword Dao. I wonder who will win."
"Isn’t that obvious? Qin Huan’s cultivation is at the mid-stage Eighth Layer Hell Realm, a whole level higher than He Qin’s. Qin Huan will definitely win."
As soon as the two entered the stage, they immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Discussions erupted, along with many ardent gazes.
He Qin’s features were exquisite, her demeanor elegant and pure. Her temperament and appearance far surpassed the gaudy beauty of ordinary worldly women. Moreover, she was a genius, leaving everyone with a stunning impression.
