Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Look, This is My Man, Qin Yanyang
"Scoundrel, the earlier bout was just an accident, and those two girls hadn’t truly decided a victor, how could that be considered deceitful? If you keep your venomous tongue wagging, I will come down personally to teach you a lesson," Yanyang said.
Ouyang He cared deeply for his beloved disciple Helian Rong and was brimming with anger, as his disciple had nearly relapsed into a serious condition during the bout. Now, with Yang Fei still rambling on, he desperately wanted to slap him.
Helian Zhan also lightly coughed and reprimanded, "Boy, stop flaunting your verbal prowess. I, Helian Zhan, promise you here that as long as you truly win, the victory will be yours. When the time comes, hand over the secret manual, and you can leave."
Seeing the fierce gazes of the powerful figures as if they wished to devour him, Yang Fei shuddered and dared not speak further, nodding and saying, "Alright, let’s do it."
Having said that, his gaze finally settled on Liu Dong.
Seeing the giant sword in Liu Dong’s hands, Yang Fei drew the short blade he had previously sheathed at his waist.
It seemed he would need to find a suitable weapon after this outing; otherwise, he would be at a severe disadvantage against these Hidden Sect Practitioners without a suitable weapon in hand.
"Are you sure you’re letting me make one move?" Yang Fei asked, looking at Liu Dong.
Liu Dong’s lips twitched.
When did I ever say I’d let you make one move?
I said you could attack first, not that you could take one move.
Before Liu Dong could reply, Wang Changchun, worried that his disciple might agree out of pride, quickly snapped, "Stop the nonsense and start fighting."
Reminded by the manor owner, Liu Dong thought of the significance of this battle and was suddenly very serious. He fixed his gaze on Yang Fei and said, "Make your move, or you won’t have a chance once I do."
A spark flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Whoosh!
Mud flew from the ground where Yang Fei had just been, leaving a deep pit.
What incredible speed!
The spectators’ pupils shrank as they were secretly alarmed.
This speed seemed even faster than Qin Yanyang and Immortal Yan’s earlier.
The few cultivators from the Divine Travel Realm were also secretly astonished. This youngster indeed possessed some skills.
Sparks flew.
"Ding!"
A grating metallic collision sound then spread.
Yang Fei appeared like a ghost in front of Liu Dong whose pupil shrank in alarm at the other’s speed. Meanwhile, with a casual motion, he lifted a hand and swept the giant sword horizontally in front of him effectively blocking Yang Fei’s path forward.
Yang Fei’s eyes lit up.
This Liu Dong was indeed quick to react, a formidable opponent.
Despite his confidence, he never underestimated any opponent,
especially a true genius from the Hidden Sect like Liu Dong.
However, Yang Fei hadn’t expected to defeat his opponent with one move. He needed to test the other’s mettle first.
Seeing the giant sword block his way, Yang Fei didn’t hesitate; he infused rampant True Qi into his blade and fiercely slashed at it.
The short blade struck the giant sword, and the powerful strike held no advantage, instead feeling a massive, strange force from the giant sword that numbed his arms.
Both tested each other with one move and both felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, daring not to be careless.
Liu Dong kicked the end of his giant sword, thrusting his hand forward, sending the giant sword piercing through the air with the speed of thunderous roar towards Yang Fei.
The people of Giant Sword Manor practiced Great Sword Skill, pursuing only two things, strength!
Strength to break all methods, this was the way of the Giant Sword Manor.
Unfortunately, Yang Fei pursued only strength and speed as well.
He likewise believed in strength to break all methods.
To the onlookers, Liu Dong’s move was as fast as thunder, but in Yang Fei’s eyes, it seemed a bit slow.
Among the spectators, seeing Yang Fei quickly retreat to a safe distance after one strike, while Liu Dong lunged forward with a swift sword thrust, displaying the immense battle talent of both men, the few powerhouses from the Divine Travel Realm spotted the critical point, while the other Hidden Sect Practitioners felt amazed and anticipatory about this sword strike, the powerhouses secretly shook their heads.
It was a bit slow!
Of course, with such speed, Liu Dong’s strength was impeccable, yet the power he used to drive this giant sword to unleash that thunderous strike was facing a much stronger opponent.
That kid seemed to have made a precise prediction in advance and looked like he was retreating in haste once the situation turned sour. In any case, his retreating movement was slightly faster than Liu Dong’s sword strike.
Whoosh!
The fierce wind howled, and the void emitted a sonic boom.
The giant sword pierced through the void, forcefully pushing forward and overpowering everything in its path.
However, Yang Fei was graceful like a startled swan, retreating while fiercely slashing towards the tip of the giant sword.
A few practitioners from the Divine Travel Realm narrowed their eyes, revealing surprise.
It was because they could tell that when Yang Fei’s blade came down, it caught Liu Dong at the precise moment when his sword’s momentum had ended.
Clang!
The sound from before hadn’t completely faded from everyone’s ears when another crisp collision sounded, as if the noises were superimposed on one another.
A massive force transmitted from the tip of the sword, Liu Dong’s arm sank, and he unexpectedly couldn’t hold up the blade, causing the giant sword’s tip to cleave into the ground.
At the same time, Yang Fei landed perfectly.
He stomped out a second deep pit in the ground, his body shot out like a cannonball, swiftly attacking Liu Dong.
Liu Dong was shocked, raising his arm as the giant sword sprang up, blocking in front of him.
"Clang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
Sparks flew, and a series of sharp collision noises spread all around.
Everyone saw Yang Fei relentlessly pursuing his attack while Liu Dong was forced to continuously step back with his sword defensively positioned.
One step ahead, always ahead; one step back, always back!
Though it may sound prolonged, in reality, from the start of the action to Yang Fei gaining the upper hand and overpowering Liu Dong, it was all a matter of moments.
After testing out that Liu Dong’s strength was not inferior to his own, Yang Fei did not give him the chance to fiercely attack. With speed superior to his opponent, he seized the initiative and unleashed relentless attacks.
If Liu Dong had gained the upper hand with the advantage of his giant sword, Yang Fei’s Short Blade would only withstand a few clashes before falling into a disadvantage.
Now that he had seized the initiative, Yang Fei pressed down on Liu Dong so he couldn’t employ the giant sword effectively. He swung his blade wildly in close combat. Though his blade technique had no form, his speed was extremely fast. Liu Dong could only manage to parry, unable to exploit the giant sword’s advantages.
The Hidden Sect Practitioners watching Liu Dong being progressively overpowered were all stunned on the spot.
Ah?
Is that it?
How could this be?
Although Liu Dong wasn’t among the most extraordinary in the younger generation, he was still ranked within the top eight, a prodigy under heaven’s favor. Many senior experts who had been famous for years had been defeated by his giant sword.
Today, facing a young man from the secular world, he was at a disadvantage from the start and was being pressured relentlessly?
Are our eyes deceiving us?
Or is Liu Dong deliberately throwing the match?
As Hidden Sect Practitioners, they could accept the excellence of Liu Dong, Immortal Yan, and Ji Qingshan, but they couldn’t accept that a kid from the secular outside world could compare to these prodigies of the Hidden Sect.
They would rather believe Liu Dong was throwing the match than accept the fact that Yang Fei had superior strength.
Apart from the intense metallic clashes, the scene was utterly silent.
The young cultivators from the Hidden Sect were all nervously watching the battlefield, not daring to even breathe, their hearts in their throats.
Qin Yanyang was initially a bit nervous too, but once Yang Fei took the initiative and pressed Liu Dong hard, she completely relaxed.
With her understanding of Yang Fei, she knew this battle was in the bag.
Her gaze swept around, her lips curling up.
Look, this is my man, Qin Yanyang.
All these so-called prodigies of the Hidden Sect have to bow down before him!
