Everyone flew towards the Red Moon City. After an intense fight, Ruan Zimao suppressed Lu Yuxing and obtained victory, but his vitality was greatly depleted.
With the return of Jiang Churan and the tri-colored radiance, everyone's thoughts returned.
Under Ning Keyue's arrangement, Jiang Ruobing successfully swapped with the fake bride. She angrily tore down the red veil and sat by the side in silence while giving Ruan Zimao a vicious glare.
Ruan Zimao smiled bitterly and simply turned his head to avoid looking at her. However, he noticed that Li Yunxiao was also on the spectator's stand and was seated beside Ning Keyue. Ruan Zimao's heart suddenly jolted as he looked over and was filled with doubt.
Li Yunxiao smiled lightly and gave him a reassuring glance. Ruan Zimao finally let out a breath of relief and calmed down.
Jiang Bieli said, "Ruan Zimao won. Is there anyone else who wants to compete?"
Zhu Yuqi then slowly walked up the stage and smiled lightly. "Brother Zimao, I'm sorry. I am going to pick up a bargain."
Ruan Zimao stared at him coldly and sneered. "Pick up a bargain? I'm just afraid of picking up a mess. "He finished his statement and suggested to rest. After consuming a few elixirs, he sat cross-legged and regulated his breathing.
Ning Keyue asked softly, "Who do you think will win in the end?"
Li Yunxiao said, "If there are no accidents, it should be Ruan Zimao."
"Oh? You think so highly of Zimao as well? "
Ruan Hongyu, who was seated at the front, turned around and looked at Li Yunxiao indifferently. "You are the Yanwu City Lord, right? I am very interested in the method you used to cure Ruomei's curse. "
Li Yunxiao let out an indifferent smile and said, "Ruan Zimao is a smart person and would never do something he isn't confident in. He must have a method to deal with Zhu Yuqi. Otherwise, Zhu Yuqi wouldn't appear on the stage right now. As for the method to dispel the curse, I'm sorry. It is a secret technique passed down by my ancestors and cannot be revealed. "
When the surrounding people heard it, they felt that it made sense and revealed strange expressions.
Ruan Hongyu sneered and spoke with disdain, "What do you mean? It sounds like Zimao won by using some tricks? All the heroes of the world are here. Everyone has eyes. "
Ning Keyue snorted coldly and said, "How is it wrong? Why don't I see Beiming Laifeng and Cheng Haomiao? "
As soon as Ruan Hongyu saw her refuting her, she became even angrier. "Humph," she said, "My daughter is the number one beauty in the world, anyone would be tempted. Was it strange that someone didn't want to participate? More than half of the Seven Stars, Five Talents, and Four Prodigies of the younger generation were here. Did they really have to all come? If one of them doesn't come, does that mean Zimao is up to something? "
Jiang Churan immediately felt a headache coming on. The two women were putting on a show, and no matter how much they argued, it would never end. Furthermore, if they continued arguing, it would only damage the reputation of Crimson Moon City. He resolutely shouted, "Shut up! How are we supposed to watch the competition if you keep blabbering? "
The two women snorted coldly and no longer spoke. They were just giving face to Jiang Churan. If there was no one else, it was impossible for them to stop the fight.
Jiang Churan looked at Li Yunxiao with some astonishment, feeling slightly surprised by his observation skills.
Right now, on the thunder stage, Ruan Zimao had already recovered to the extreme after a period of rest and the addition of medicinal pills. He abruptly opened his eyes and said with a cold smile, "Brother Yuqi, let the battle between you and me draw a full stop to the arena competition this time!"
A trace of fighting spirit ignited in Zhu Yuqi's eyes. That nonchalant attitude immediately disappeared as he said word by word, "As you wish!"
As his voice fell, under a vast emperor's aura, Ruan Zimao finally made the first move. The essence energy on his sword rippled out like autumn waters, like raging waves, sweeping towards this final great enemy in front of him.
The head of the Eastern Region Seven Stars represented the strongest person in the entire Eastern Region's younger generation!
And Zhu Yuqi was only ranked second among the Four Prodigies of the Northern Region. This was a battle between the young experts of the two regions. Whether it was the competition itself or outside of the competition, he could not lose.
The fighting spirit in Zhu Yuqi's eyes ignited. His entire body circulated, and a bright red fire sword condensed in front of him. It slashed out a sky full of sparks and struck the autumn waters. The two completely different elements clashed, causing a huge wave to spread.
A trace of coldness flashed in Ruan Zimao's eyes. Facing the impact, he pressed forward and shouted, "One Sword to Flatten the River!"
The cold sword shadow swept across the sky, shaking the barrier on the stage and causing it to glow brightly.
The sword spirit in Ruan Zimao's hand awakened and was connected to his mind. It moved smoothly and the sword became one.
Below the stage, there were all kinds of exclamations and praises.
"As expected, he didn't use his full strength in the battle with Lu Yuxing. This is the true strength of the head of the Eastern Region Seven Stars!"
"So strong. These people have already far surpassed the younger generation. They represent the peak existences of the continent!"
Under Ruan Zimao's close pursuit, Zhu Yuqi encountered danger at every step. However, he relied on his strange movement technique to survive in the cracks. Furthermore, he was waiting for an opportunity to strike. As long as Ruan Zimao paused for a moment, he would counterattack, and flames would burst out from time to time.
Ning Keyue frowned and said, "This Zhu Yuqi is quite smart. He knows to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. However, he lacks courage. How long will this kind of entanglement last? Judging by their strength, I'm afraid they'll fight for several days and nights. "
Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Courage is often accompanied by bad results. These two people are both scheming. If they were to fight head-on, Zhu Yuqi's chances of winning would be even smaller. Of course he would choose a path with a higher chance of winning. After all, this is not a simple martial arts competition. It involves a major event like a marriage alliance. However … "
Li Yunxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Ruan Zimao will not allow this kind of thing to happen. There must be a way around it!"
Ruan Hongyu was slightly startled in her heart, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She became wary of Li Yunxiao's observational ability.
On the platform, Ruan Zimao's sword qi crisscrossed, and under continuous attacks, he said with a cold smile, "Brother Yuqi, are you playing a game with me by entangling like this?"
Zhu Yuqi's figure flashed, and he said with a smile, "Brother Zimao's moves are too strong. I don't dare to receive it. I can only retreat in order to advance."
"Humph, if you don't dare to receive it, why not admit defeat?"
"Too stubborn in the Martial Dao. I want to see the glory of a Seven Star Leader!"
"Then watch to your heart's content!"
Ruan Zimao suddenly withdrew his sword momentum, and the Sky Wave Mirror appeared in his left hand. He shone it in the air, and a vast aura surged out. The entire platform was placed under the mirror light, and the scene between the two began to change inexplicably.
"Illusion array!"
Zhu Yuqi was startled in his heart, and he said, "Isn't this illusion array to assist cultivation? Even if it can have an offensive effect, it's useless against me. "
Ruan Zimao sneered, "Whether it's useful or not, we'll see!"
He raised his longsword high, and shouted, "One Sword to Level the River!"
Sword qi crisscrossed, and a thousand layers of attacks were set off. Each wave was like a stampede of ten thousand horses, and they slashed down from the sky!
Zhu Yuqi frowned slightly, and he executed his movement technique, wanting to dodge. Suddenly, he was shocked to discover that this sword momentum had actually turned into a thousand, slashing down from all directions. Moreover, the more they turned, the more swords fell like rain!
A drop of cold sweat flowed down his cheek. Such a sword momentum, was this the effect of illusion arts?
What was even more terrifying was that he couldn't tell the real from the fake!
Zhu Yuqi's body's potential burst out in an instant, and the longsword in his hand turned into streaks of rainbow, like a rainbow crossing the sky. A sword momentum condensed around him, and he suddenly slashed out!
"Boom!"
The two swords collided. Zhu Yuqi's foundation was slightly weaker, and he was forced to retreat repeatedly.
After Ruan Zimao's sword succeeded, his body turned into faint green smoke and dissipated. There was no sign of him in the illusion array.
This time, Zhu Yuqi's expression finally changed. The advantage of his movement technique immediately turned into a disadvantage. In the illusion array, he couldn't catch Ruan Zimao's figure at all, unless he broke the Sky Wave Reflecting Shadow first.
The longsword in his hand danced, and streaks of sword qi slashed out, pervading his body as he prepared to execute his ultimate move to break the array.
Suddenly, a leg descended from the sky, and it actually tapped on his sword body. Ruan Zimao laughed loudly, "Haha, you're finally willing to make a move?"
Zhu Yuqi's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Zimao, using this kind of treasure to hit me, isn't it a little unfair?"
"Fair?"
Ruan Zimao sneered, "Profound artifacts are also a part of strength!"
His sword landed in his hand, and he pointed at Zhu Yuqi. The latter suddenly poured essence energy into the sword, and he was sent flying. Following that, the sword qi soared into the sky, and they clashed fiercely.
"Bang!"
Zhu Yuqi's sword force was repelled, and the blood in his body was shaken, and he was forced to retreat.
"Zhu Yuqi, there are many ways to defeat you. It's just that I don't have the patience to waste time with you. One sword to determine the winner!"
Ruan Zimao was a little anxious. If he could get past this hindrance in front of him, he would be the champion. The sword light in his hand became more rapid, and the Sword Spirit, body, and mind became one. Qiankun Sword pointed upwards!
"One Sword to Flatten the Rivers!"
Zhu Yuqi's expression was also very grave. He knew that this sword was unavoidable, and all the potential in his body burst out at this moment. The sword force seemed to have a life of its own, and it roared continuously, emitting waves of malevolent intent!
"Rumble!"
For the final sword, both of them used their ultimate moves. The collision of water and fire turned into a tyrannical sea of sword qi, which broke through the illusion of the Sky Wave Reflecting Shadow, and returned to the stage, shaking the defense until it gradually brightened up.
The two of them separated after the sword, and their faces were pale.
Zhu Yuqi first spat out a mouthful of blood, and he shook his head bitterly, "Your strength is indeed stronger than mine. Yuqi admits defeat wholeheartedly."
The corner of Ruan Zimao's mouth was dripping with blood, and he spoke coldly, "I won't send you off!"
Zhu Yuqi calmed down the essence force in his body and slowly walked down the stage. He might be the loser, but he won the applause and cheers that soared into the sky.
"En, this is the only match that is worth watching. Ruan Zimao might have a higher chance of winning if he didn't use the Sky Wave Reflecting Shadow, but it would be hard for him to be so decisive. "
On the spectator's stand, Ning Keyue analyzed.
Li Yunxiao laughed and said, "With victory in sight, he couldn't help but want to hug his bride. Thus, he was burning with anxiety. Otherwise, with his usual temperament, he would still win even if he dragged it out."
Ning Keyue took a look at him and sighed. "As long as you don't go up, the contest will end here. Ruobing is my beloved disciple, and I am more willing for her to marry you. "
Li Yunxiao shook his head and smiled. "I'm afraid I don't have this fortune."
Jiang Bieli shouted, "Ruan Zimao is victorious. Is there anyone else who wants to fight?"
Once his voice came out, the entire crowd was in utter silence. Ruan Zimao might be injured, but the martial skill that he revealed earlier was enough to show disdain for everyone, and no one from the younger generation dared to challenge him.
