Xin Xiaoyue wasn't the only one who found it strange. Even the guest commentator in the live stream couldn't understand.
"Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun?"
"Preparing during the conversation can indeed avoid Xin Xiaoyue's interference. But the problem is, how long has it been? He still has to work hard to maintain it for another two minutes! The burden of Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun isn't small! And once the fight starts, Xin Xiaoyue, who is mentally prepared, can totally use a long-range attack strategy. At that time, won't Lou Cheng be caught unprepared? Won't he waste so much mental strength and Emperor Yan Force? "
"Uh, Lou Cheng did have a talent in stamina. When others were using five or six consecutive bursts, he could go beyond ten consecutive bursts. Could it be that after making the great leap and reaching Physical Invulnerability, his talent was shifted to mental strength? Otherwise, there's no way to explain his choice … "
…
Yan Zheke's smile deepened as she listened to the commentator's exclamations and analysis from various angles. Her dimples became more prominent, making her look sweet and beautiful.
The profundity of my Grand Starry Sky Path isn't something mediocre people like you can understand!
…
At the bow of a luxurious cruise ship, Empress Luo was looking at the battlefield on River Heart Island. She laughed, half surprised and half exclaiming.
"He just reached Physical Invulnerability and he's already stirring up trouble. This isn't like the Dragon King. He reminds me of the Warrior Sage."
Long Zhen and Guo Jie didn't reply. Instead, they stared at the five-colored fireballs circling around Lou Cheng. They seemed to have their own orbits. Although they seemed to be flying around randomly, there was a hidden pattern to them. It was as if they could maintain their orbits on their own without the guidance of their mental strength!
Others might not be able to see this, but they, who had studied the Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun for many years, keenly sensed the difference. When Long Zhen used it, he had to control it forcefully with his mental strength. But Lou Cheng was doing it effortlessly. It was as though the Five Flames themselves were escorting him and following him without any additional worry.
To use a less accurate analogy, when he used "Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun", it was like flying a kite or a hydrogen balloon. He had to hold on to the string in order to make them flutter in the wind. Lou Cheng, on the other hand, was like releasing five satellites with himself as the core. Through natural connections, he made them circle in predetermined orbits repeatedly.
Not simple … Long Zhen sighed to himself.
He believed that since Lou Cheng dared to do so, he must have a strong backing. This "Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun" could be maintained for a long time with low consumption.
…
In the Longhu Club and Lou Cheng's fan forums, similar exclamations were heard one after another.
"Awesome!" Brahman said with a starry-eyed pose.
In her heart, her idol at this moment was like an immortal god descending step by step from the heavens. The traces left behind by the faint purple, golden, and other five-colored fireballs outlined a robe that did not belong to the mortal world. The sacred, powerful, dignified, and lofty feelings entered her heart.
Eternal Nightfall Yan Xiaoling was the same. While she was busy taking screenshots, she said, [Salivating expression]:
"The screen is blurry. Let me lick it!"
"Look at your love-struck, no, infatuated look. Don't tell anyone that you know me!" Unparalleled Dragon King replied with a look of disdain. "As a martial arts forum, shouldn't we be discussing whether Lou Cheng has developed a new posture, no, a new move or a new Dharma Access that reduces the consumption of Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun? What's the point of discussing whether he's handsome or not? "
Although this was indeed cool, who knew how many children would dream of martial arts …
"Anyway, I don't believe Lou Cheng is deliberately acting cool," A Plumber Eating Mushrooms said.
"As a Heavenly Son of the era, he must be a little different! [Eyes shining expression]" Nie Qiqi said.
…
Amidst the doubts and discussions of the audience, Xin Xiaoyue had already formed her Ice Heart. She restrained her emotions and raised her hand.
"Referee, he's cheating!"
Seeing the corner of Lou Cheng's mouth twitch, Xin Xiaoyue immediately smiled and said,
"Just kidding. Livening up the atmosphere!"
As she spoke, her eyes deepened and her aura was released. The temperature within a radius of dozens of meters dropped sharply, as though the crisp autumn weather had turned into a harsh winter.
Whoosh! A gust of wind blew. It was neither too strong nor too strong. It only made the dead leaves on the ground spin and dance. However, there was an indescribable coldness in it. It was different from other coldness. It was like a hospital morgue. In the strong cold, there was a hidden chill that made people unconsciously timid, unconsciously fearful, and unconsciously let their imagination run wild.
This was a coldness that was mixed with the will of death!
This was both a battle of aura and mental oppression!
However, at that moment, Xin Xiaoyue felt as though Lou Cheng was a vast expanse of darkness. It was cold, vast, and empty. All the chilly winds and chilliness "blew" into it and dissipated on their own. They couldn't even cause a ripple.
It was like the end of everything, an eternal death … Xin Xiaoyue seemed to have grasped something. But at that moment, the referee shouted from afar,
"Begin!"
The official match of the Master Competition was thus unveiled!
Bam!
Xin Xiaoyue spun on the spot and bent her back, stirring up a strong wind that seemed to come from the polar regions. The "goose feathers" in the wind were large and dense, blocking one's vision, interfering with one's hearing, and reducing the range of one's mental senses.
Wind and snow were good at disorienting one's tracks!
Drones recorded the scene and presented it to the audience through various means. With the help of modern technology, Xin Xiaoyue's figure could be vaguely seen in the wind and snow. Sometimes she was in the west, sometimes she was in the east, sometimes she was in the hills, sometimes she was on the side. She was constantly moving at high speed, not giving Lou Cheng a chance to approach.
With the Five Flames at hand, only an idiot would go head-on with her!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The sound of her movements was drowned out by the strong wind. After changing directions a few times, Xin Xiaoyue formed a sword with her fingers and pointed forward. A crystalline, cold light shot towards Lou Cheng at supersonic speed.
Ice Spirit Holy Light, a blade at close range and an arrow at long range!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Xin Xiaoyue didn't move her upper body. With her footwork, she shot out several dreamy, cold lights in the wind and snow, forming an inescapable net that enveloped Lou Cheng.
In her opinion, even if it couldn't hurt her opponent, it could affect the fireballs around him, causing them to lose their balance and explode.
Lou Cheng, who had been observing from the same spot, finally moved. He took a step to the side, stirring up a strong wind that avoided most of the Ice Spirit Holy Light. Only a few were blown off course. At the same time, above his left shoulder, the crimson fireball deviated from its trajectory and flew out, hitting the cold lights heading straight for him.
Boom!
The flames exploded, shattering the Ice Spirit Holy Light. Transparent shards fell, reflecting the crimson light and blossoming in rainbow colors. It was so beautiful it was like a dream.
Following that, the faint purple fireball hovering above Lou Cheng's head whizzed out, piercing through the wind and snow. Following the cold lights, it smashed towards Xin Xiaoyue.
Xin Xiaoyue knew that in a normal fight, the Fire Sect's "Flying Flame Meteor", "Golden Godly Flames", and "Lord Monarch's Purple Flames" all had the ability to create fireballs to bombard the opponent. Her opponent wouldn't be lacking in long-range attacks, but she never expected that he would use the "Five Flames" he had condensed as cannon balls!
Wasn't that too extravagant?
Her heart sank and the hairs on her back stood on end. Xin Xiaoyue forced herself to straighten her knees, twist her back, and used the force of the wind to swing a dozen meters away.
Rumble!
Where she had been, goose feathers dissipated, the wind stopped, and the island trembled. An obvious crater appeared on the ground, with balls of flames burning in all directions. The shockwave from the explosion scraped past her body, shedding a layer of ice crystals.
This was Emperor Yan Force's Meteor derived from Lord Emperor's Purple Flame. In terms of attack power, it was definitely one of the top three moves of its kind!
The reason why Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun was the Fire Sect's trump card was because it applied and deepened the content of the previous moves and the foundation they had learned. It also had a unique explosive technique.
Among them, the crimson fireball was derived from the original Zhu Rong Force, while the hovering and launching technique was derived from the fourth move, Flying Flame Meteor. It was the weakest and didn't have any special features, but it was the fastest to condense and consumed the least energy.
The incandescent fireball was the upgraded version of the crimson fireball. It was hotter and more powerful, and at the same time, it had the heaviness of Emperor Yan and the ease of control of Fire Virtue, but only a little.
The pale blue fireball was the mutated version of the incandescent fireball. It was hotter, but its explosive power was weaker, and it mainly burned.
The golden fireball was based on Fire Virtue Force and was condensed through the technique of Golden Godly Flames. Its explosive power was strong, but it wasn't outstanding in terms of temperature and burning power. However, it could be controlled after launch. In other words, once a martial artist mastered it well, he could make it change direction twice or even thrice within a certain range.
The pale purple fireball was derived from Emperor Yan Force and Lord Emperor's Purple Flame. Heat and heaviness were its two main characteristics. Once launched, it was like a bomb loaded with high explosives. In the hands of a Physical Invulnerability expert like the Dragon King, it would make the enemy feel like they were attracted by a magnet, making it difficult for them to move in front of the purple fireball.
The latter two were extremely taxing and burdensome to the body and mind. If they were increased in number, the Five Flames would easily lose balance.
In the midst of the explosion, Xin Xiaoyue saw Lou Cheng from the corner of her eye. She saw him launch the golden fireball that was hovering around him.
That wasn't the key. The key was that he had effortlessly condensed new crimson and pale purple fireballs!
Is there an end to this? Xin Xiaoyue took a step forward, lowered her head, and lunged forward to prevent Lou Cheng's Golden Fire Virtue Ball from changing direction a second time. However, she didn't know that Lou Cheng, whose foundation was Emperor Yan, had only grasped the relevant techniques and hadn't started learning them yet.
Boom! The golden flames spread out and dispersed in all directions, leaving behind another crater.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Xin Xiaoyue used Mesmerizing Steps and responded with Ice Spirit Holy Light. Sword Qi crisscrossed in the air as cold light flashed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crimson, pale blue, blazing white, golden, and pale purple fireballs that were hovering around Lou Cheng shot out one after another. They quickly condensed and exploded, clearing up the Brutal Snowstorm and leaving craters all over the ground.
The audience had seen countless long-range battles between Physical Invulnerability experts, but none had lasted as long as this one.
For a Physical Invulnerability expert, long-range attacks consumed more energy than close-range attacks. The latter was the best way to go, with the former as support. Otherwise, the landlord wouldn't have any extra food!
"This is like a battle between immortals in novels. No, a sword immortal versus the leader of the Five Fireballs Divine Sect!" commented Pig-Riding Knight in the Longhu Club forum.
"I think if Lou Cheng were to transform his Five Flames into different colored dragons, I'd probably prostrate myself on the ground and call him a god. That would be cool!" snickered Road to the Arena.
"Can't help it. The Five Fireballs Divine Sect is descended from the Dragon King!" replied Invincible Punch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xin Xiaoyue was affected by the aftermath of the explosion. Her hair was disheveled and her face was covered in dust. Her Ice Sect secret arts, which were a mix of Death Sect techniques, couldn't seem to find a use for them.
This kind of exchange made her feel like she was fighting a tank with five turrets with a rifle. The firepower, suppressive power, and coverage were completely incomparable. Even the advantage of quick firing and quick succession was made up for by Lou Cheng's Five Fires, which he had prepared in advance. He switched between them in an orderly manner and used them one after another.
This can't go on. This guy is practically a human turret with multiple turrets! Xin Xiaoyue turned around and dodged the explosion. While complaining, she changed her strategy.
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind around her suddenly turned harsh and gloomy. The falling snow froze into ice crystals. Xin Xiaoyue's figure suddenly dimmed. She was blurry and indistinct, like an illusion.
The phantoms split, and with the help of the environment, they "appeared" in all directions. A dozen or so Xin Xiaoyue "floated" towards Lou Cheng like ghosts walking in the cold night.
This was an illusion movement technique, Ghostly Walks on a Cold Night, which she had created by combining the characteristics of Death Sect and Ghosts. It was based on the second move of the Ice Sect, Mesmerizing Snow Steps.
After testing, it could effectively fool the Enemy Heart Freezing Move until it was within two meters of Lou Cheng.
At this distance, even if he could detect and distinguish the real from the fake, he wouldn't be able to react in time.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Lou Cheng took a step forward and appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. All the illusions and disturbances seemed to have no effect in his eyes.
His sense of danger was limited to this area.
Xin Xiaoyue's eyes widened. Lou Cheng stretched his back expressionlessly, shook his right arm, and swung it down. The blazing white, golden, light blue, crimson, and faint purple flames behind him circled at high speed and came crashing down in the same direction.
"Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun!"
At this critical moment, Xin Xiaoyue's feet suddenly turned soft and the soil turned into a swamp.
Her skin was greyish white, as though she had turned into a dead person. As though she had been prepared, she had formed an everlasting ice wall to protect herself.
In an instant, Xin Xiaoyue sank into the ground and the swamp solidified once more.
A blazing white light flashed past. The spectators on the cruise ship far away from the island instinctively closed their eyes. They were so agitated that tears flowed out.
Boom!
The ground shook and a mushroom cloud rose. Violent winds swept away the surrounding leaves and dirt. The exaggerated crater burned with crimson flames that swept outwards.
With a crisp bang, the ground behind Lou Cheng cracked open. Xin Xiaoyue bounced out, formed a sword with her fingers, and pointed at the back of her opponent.
The ice wall that covered her body had shattered. Her skin was cracked and flipped, but there wasn't a trace of blood. Instead, there was a dark red trickle at the corner of her mouth that slowly dripped down.
Everything that had happened was within Xin Xiaoyue's expectations.
She knew very well that Lou Cheng had the supernatural ability to deflect curses and predict danger before he reached the Physical Invulnerability stage. She believed that after he made the great leap, he would be even more powerful in this aspect. Therefore, she didn't expect that the hallucination-type Ghost Walks on a Cold Night would be able to fool his intuition. She had long secretly prepared the Death Sect's Burying technique and formed the Eternal Ice Wall in time to exhaust the enemy's Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun.
Even so, under the terrifying power of Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun, she was severely shaken. Her injuries weren't serious, but there were many residual negative effects.
This kind of attack power was truly enough to ascend the heavens and descend to the netherworld! As Xin Xiaoyue's thoughts flashed, shadows appeared under her opponent's feet. Like air shackles or wild vines, they entangled, hooked, and pulled Lou Cheng's legs.
At the same time, Xin Xiaoyue's fingertips, which had long completed her visualization, turned greenish-black from the extreme cold.
Lou Cheng hadn't expected his opponent to have the decisiveness and precision to win in such a dangerous situation. As a result, he couldn't react in time and was temporarily restrained. All he could do was take Xin Xiaoyue's finger attack head-on.
His heart was as cold as before. He didn't panic. As thoughts flashed through his mind, he twisted his waist and leaned to one side. His right arm was covered in a layer of ice crystals as he swung it in the opposite direction.
Poof!
Xin Xiaoyue tapped with her finger and used the force to swing back and change her position. Lou Cheng felt a chill invade his body, assimilating with the ice wall and penetrating his flesh. In an instant, he lost all feeling in his right arm and forearm. It was as though he had been frozen to the point of numbness or necrosis.
This shocked him. As long as it didn't affect one's thoughts or the body's ability to withstand extreme cold, the vigorous Physical Invulnerability Qi and blood in one's body would be able to resist and neutralize most of the effects. It required continuous accumulation before it could take effect. Otherwise, it could only form a layer of ice on the outside to restrict movement. But now, in just an instant, one of his arms was frozen stiff!
Just as Senior Sister had said, the Fatal Chill was even more powerful than he had expected!
As Xin Xiaoyue shifted her position, Lou Cheng wasn't surprised or hesitant. He retracted his Qi and blood and retracted the Fatal Chill, dispelling the negative effects to a certain extent and preventing it from invading his shoulder.
Even so, his right arm, forearm, and palm were still deeply numb and stiff. For a moment, he couldn't move freely.
Bam! Lou Cheng's Dan Qi erupted and poured into his legs. He forcefully tore off the arms of the ghosts and broke free from their restraints.
At this moment, Xin Xiaoyue, who was very confident in the Fatal Chill, moved to his right again. She clenched her fist and threw a punch, surrounded by faint light.
She wanted to take advantage of Lou Cheng's paralyzed right arm to gain the upper hand. Then, she would use the Fatal Chill consecutively to clinch victory.
But at this moment, Lou Cheng didn't panic at all. With a shake of his right shoulder, the arm that had been frozen into a "stone" turned into a weapon and swung out. His movements were smooth and natural, as if he had gone through a lot of practice.
Xin Xiaoyue would never have guessed that he had trained hard to fight when he lost control of his arms and legs. Compared to that, this was nothing!
Bam!
With a dull thud, the two figures separated. Under Xin Xiaoyue's frosty gaze, which masked her astonishment, Lou Cheng took a step forward. He even gathered his Force and drew the Fighting Formula.
His body instantly grew taller. His muscles tightened around his martial arts suit, outlining the contours of his body. His greenish-black skin made him look more like a monster disguised as a human.
Boom!
He swung his fist down with a loud explosive sound, causing Xin Xiaoyue's arm to tremble slightly. She was forced to take a few steps back, and the impact caused her organs to churn even more violently. The residual effects of the "Descent of the Sun" from before were all unleashed.
Faced with Lou Cheng's pressure, Xin Xiaoyue gathered her Force Concentration and visualized. Her fist was covered in white frost as she threw out an Ice Spirit.
Lou Cheng didn't care. He continued to use the Fighting Formula and the eruption of his Dan Force. He transformed into a giant and punched with his left fist.
Bam! Xin Xiaoyue's organs churned even more violently. Her ears buzzed. As she retreated, she created several deep craters.
Lou Cheng didn't care that his left fist and left arm were frozen. He gathered his Force Concentration again and shifted his stars to the Fighting Formula again!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
After a few consecutive blows, Xin Xiaoyue was dizzy. Her arms were trembling and she couldn't exert strength.
At this point, Lou Cheng, who had reached the limit of his Fighting Formula, switched to using pure Dan Force. After the first punch, a crimson aura formed around him and circled him.
Boom!
The punch and fireball landed at the same time. Xin Xiaoyue was sent flying by the explosion. She caught her breath in mid-air and flipped like a sparrow hawk. Riding the wind, she landed steadily to the side.
She was about to use Force Concentration to subdue the effects when she saw Lou Cheng charging at her without giving her a chance to recuperate. Crimson aura formed around him again, followed by a blazing white aura, then a faint blue aura.
Again? Xin Xiaoyue sucked in a breath of cold air. She examined her body, straightened her back, and swung back. She raised her right hand and shouted,
"I surrender!"
The consequences of being hit by Nine Rotations of Five Flames again would be unthinkable!
