In the brightly lit arena, a total of seven identical figures pounced at Lou Cheng. All of them stirred up a gust of wind, creating a stimulus that was hard to distinguish.
Of course, it was easy to tell because the Roman pillar that Brandon had crashed into was still shaking slightly. The corresponding figure was clear and distinct!
However, Lou Cheng took a step to the side, lowered his shoulders, and leaned to the side. Following that, he swung his right arm and threw a punch like a bullet towards the empty space.
Bam!
The sound of the collision shook the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall. Suddenly, starlight-covered skin, bulging muscles, and strong knuckles appeared in front of Lou Cheng's frosty right fist.
At some point in time, Brandon had bizarrely changed his position, leaving behind an 'illusion' beside the Roman pillar where he was previously standing.
There were a total of seven figures, all of which were illusions. His real body had long gone into hiding. He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack and deal a fatal blow to his opponent!
For most of the Inhuman Experts, it was indeed a threat. If Lou Cheng's Ice Mirror hadn't made the breakthrough and was still at the same level as before, he would've been caught in a fluster. One moment of carelessness and he would've been caught in the crossfire. But right now, his "consciousness" was high up in the sky as a god three feet above his head. Using the Ice Mirror to reflect his surroundings, he keenly sensed the anomaly and made the first move, interrupting Brandon's ambush!
Poof! Poof! Poof! At the same time, the seven Brandon figures formed by light energy pounced on Lou Cheng, triggering waves of blinding brilliance and flowing starlight!
As Lou Cheng took a step forward and struck diagonally, a thick layer of ice crystals had formed on the surface of his body. They were translucent, solid, and extraordinary. Under the burning and melting of the light, they either sizzled into water or vaporized instantly, forcefully resisting this round of attacks.
If it wasn't for the improvement of his Ice Armor, he definitely wouldn't have chosen such a response!
Moreover, the seven figures came from different directions. Without the stacking of corrosion, he could naturally deal with them calmly, as immovable as a mountain!
Amidst the explosion, as the seven figures disappeared, Brandon's silhouette was quickly outlined. His left hand bounced back, swinging involuntarily as he felt an unbearable pain.
His punch was interrupted and he was almost injured!
The pain stimulated Brandon's soul, causing him to have a strong desire for violence. He was like a soldier whose eyes were bloodshot.
When Brandon noticed that Lou Cheng had weakened from the head-on clash just now, he flexed his back muscles without hesitation and delivered a heavy straight punch.
Under the cover of such a ferocious attack, he stepped forward with his left foot and tripped Lou Cheng's legs, acting as both a fulcrum and a rope!
This was the Jutsu of the Geruga Sect. Brandon wanted to turn the battle into a ground fight. He would rely on the skillful coordination of his Constellation ability to unleash various techniques to break the enemy's so-called Listening Skill and completely subdue him.
When he kicked, Lou Cheng took a step back. From the perspective of the guests in the hall, the two of them seemed to be performing a dance with tacit understanding.
Brandon's kick missed, and his straight punch failed. He immediately turned sideways, lowered his back, and extended his right palm. He was going to use his well-practiced technique to throw his opponent to the ground.
Lou Cheng took another step back. It was as if he had known the enemy's plan in advance, so that his fall would fail awkwardly.
Pa!
Lou Cheng shook his right shoulder and swung out his arm, tightening it from its softness. Then, like a whip, he struck towards the side of Brandon's neck.
Brandon raised his arm, which glowed brilliantly, and assumed a defensive boxing stance. He tilted his head to the side, guarding against the second and third part of the enemy's attack.
When he watched the video of the battle, the memory was still fresh in his mind. He still had a lingering fear!
Bam! Brandon's arm swayed a little as he lashed out with the "whip". It was as though countless dust particles were flying into the air. As expected, Lou Cheng snapped his knuckles, aimed at the side of his face, and spread his fingers. Even though he was far away, he could imagine the enhancement Aurora would provide.
With a whoosh, the tip of Lou Cheng's finger shot out streaks of crystal-clear cold light. They left his body like sharp arrows and headed straight for the enemy's temples and eyes. They were faster, more solid, and more ferocious than Aurora. They were like Ice Spirits!
Brandon had guessed the beginning, but he didn't expect the ending. When he saw the sudden change, he was scared out of his wits. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he felt as if electricity had passed through his pores.
He instinctively shrunk his head and curled up his body. He felt the sound of the "arrow" elongating in his ears. The bone-piercing cold flew past his scalp and into the surface of an ancient Roman-style stone pillar!
Lou Cheng pulled back his Qi and blood calmly and unleashed his Dan Force. He turned, lifted his hips, tightened his trousers, and lashed out with his leg. Like a steel whip, he lashed out at the enemy who was facing him from the side.
Brandon quickly stimulated his Self Spirit. He quickly swung his arm, clenched his fist, and hammered down. He narrowly missed the whip kick.
Amidst the loud bang, invisible waves rippled outwards. Brandon, who was built like a human bear, nimbly moved his waist and back muscles. Despite being at a disadvantage, he used the force to leap away, instantly widening the distance between them to more than ten meters.
Lou Cheng concealed his Attainment Formula and followed up with a step. He retracted his Qi and blood again and unleashed his Force again. He wore a crystal-clear Frost Glove on his left fist, swinging it sideways. It was unusually heavy.
Bam!
After Brandon blocked the attack, he swung his right fist again. He used the same Force Concentration and Ice Spirit to hurt his opponent!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Lou Cheng completed one explosion after another rhythmically. He swung his arms, swung his legs, and struck with his knees. Every attack was heavy and filled with coldness.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Faced with his opponent's precise footwork and attacks, Brandon was forced to use high-intensity explosive attacks to defend himself. He lost his advantage of being faster. After blocking more than a dozen attacks, he finally retreated. Every step he took created a cloud of dust, splinters, sand, and pebbles. It was like the battle scenes of the demigods recorded in many ancient books.
Throughout this process, Brandon felt himself getting colder and colder. His gushing blood and beating heart couldn't completely alleviate this feeling. His body gradually stiffened and became more and more sluggish.
Compared to the violent and ferocious Emperor Yan Force, the Ice Spirit Force had the advantage of erosion and lasting effect.
Bam!
Lou Cheng's fist turned into a hammer and smashed downwards, hitting Brandon's raised fist. The impact made him stagger backwards. His hair was wet, and the droplets of sweat turned into white frost when they fell to the ground.
Unwilling to wait for his death, Brandon roared. He couldn't care less about anything else. He stimulated his Self Spirit and gathered the Light Energy in his body in an attempt to buy himself a chance to take a breather and find a way to turn the tables around.
While he stimulated himself, Lou Cheng seemed to have sensed it. He held his Qi and blood in time. However, he didn't activate his Dan Force immediately as usual. Instead, after a few moments of equilibrium, he seemed to have lost his temperature and blood, turning into an ice-cold corpse. The heaviness in his lower abdomen was still shrinking and moving away.
This gave Brandon a chance to build up his strength. A smile of anticipation appeared on his face. He raised his left hand to protect his head and chest. Swinging his right fist, he struck out quickly and heavily. All the Star Brilliance gathered at a single point in front of him.
Restriction of Stars, Light Energy Focus!
Bam!
At this moment, Lou Cheng's Dan Force erupted uncontrollably. He was filled with blood again and regained his body temperature. He pulled his right arm and punched his chest, hitting the condensed Star Brilliance and glowing skin.
Boom!
Light exploded, illuminating the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall. Yan Zheke bit her lips lightly, waiting for the figure to appear. The other guests forgot to drink, holding their glasses and watching intently.
The exaggerated light disappeared in a flash, as though it was buried and devoured by something. Lou Cheng's figure appeared first, far away from his previous position. His right sleeve was in tatters, like an exploded bamboo. His skin was slightly charred and shrouded in white mist.
Seeing his sorry appearance, the guests were about to applaud, but they soon noticed that Brandon was standing there in a daze. He was still protecting his face with his left fist and punching with his right fist. From his fingertips to his hair, he was covered in a layer of glittering crystals, as if he had been frozen!
Water droplets dripped down rapidly, and the layer of ice melted rapidly. Lou Cheng circulated his qi and blood to stimulate his body parts. With a push of his feet, he pounced in front of Brandon again. Then, he stretched his back, swung his arm, and smashed his fist down!
Bam!
The air barrier exploded. Brandon, who had just been freed from the ice, threw out a punch slowly in an attempt to defend himself. However, he was sent flying backwards, breaking a Roman pillar with a loud bang.
Lou Cheng slid forward again. Without any change in expression, he threw out his left fist and smashed it on his opponent's forehead. He didn't hold back!
If he was hit like that, even a man made of iron would have his head blown off!
Pain came from his back, and his limbs were sluggish. Brandon felt a "stab" in between his eyebrows. All he could see was Lou Cheng's fist, which was getting bigger and bigger, filling up his entire vision.
At that moment, he clearly felt the taste of death. He couldn't help but tremble. He wanted to retreat, but he couldn't do so.
Just as he was at his most desperate, a hand reached over. It glowed with a blue luster and held Lou Cheng's fist firmly.
The referee, Polk, had made his move, announcing the result of the match.
Brandon lost. Lou Cheng won!
Lou Cheng retracted his fist, saluted, and walked towards the side door with a smile. He walked towards Yan Zheke, who was walking towards him.
Phew … Brandon was still sitting on the pile of broken rocks, enjoying the beauty of being alive.
He wasn't an idiot. He understood that Lou Cheng's "not holding back" at the end was a small "proof" …
After entering the banquet hall, Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke exchanged glances. They whispered in unison,
"Let's go!"
Wouldn't it be asking for a snub to stay at Brandon's banquet after winning?
In ancient times, that would be asking for a beating!
When the words entered their ears, the couple couldn't help but laugh. They walked towards the door hand in hand. No one tried to stop them. The room was silent.
Outside the door, the night sky was dark. The evening breeze blew gently. Lou Cheng and Yan Zheke walked further and further towards the carpark. Only their soft Chinese voice could be heard.
"You waited until the Light Energy Focus before you tried that move of yours. Was it to better experience the characteristics of the Geruga Sect?"
"Yeah."
"I keep feeling that this style is a little familiar …"
"Maybe I was infected by the Priest …"
