Lu Yan and Lou Cheng stared at each other for a dozen seconds before retracting their gazes.
"Then go show them your confidence!"
After saying that, he looked around and said, "I'm sorry.
"We don't know if Shangqing Sect will send Taoist Yun Yan, but since they've set up such a formation, they must be planning to break through with brute force. The strongest will break through, the second strongest will penetrate, and the weaker one will finish the job. Logically speaking, this is the most reliable way for us to deal with them.
"However, our strength is similar to theirs to begin with, and they have a slight advantage over us. Plus, they've put in so much effort to set up this home ground advantage. If we do this step by step, we won't have much of a chance of winning. Once we fall behind, we'll fall further and further behind until the end, and it'll be hard to turn the tables.
"That's why we need to make some changes. Dragon King, hold off Warrior Sage and completely break his spirit, or at least push him to his limits. Lou Cheng, you'll go second. Don't be careless. A starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even at his limits, Warrior Sage still has the ability to defeat you. You have to do your best to take him down, then drag the match out as long as possible to wear down …" Lu Yan glanced at the paper in his hand. "Wear down Taoist Wuguang. I have more confidence in you in this aspect."
While he was setting up, Dragon King Chen Qitao's eyes were deep and dignified, like a volcano waiting to erupt from the depths of the earth. He didn't comment on 'wear down his spirit' or 'push him to his limits'.
Before Lou Cheng and Ning Zitong could speak, Lu Yan continued,
"When this match ends, as long as we can drag it out long enough, Shangqing Sect's preparations will be destroyed. The home ground advantage will solidify, and the impact on us will be minimized."
Having said that, he turned to look at Empress Luo.
"If you can finish off … Taoist Wuguang quickly, you'll have an advantage over the injured Yun Yan, Ming He, Peng Leyun, and the rest. As for how much of an advantage you have, and whether it can offset the home ground advantage, it'll depend on what Lou Cheng can do, and how quickly you can finish off … Taoist Wuguang."
"Only by accumulating strength step by step will we have a chance of winning. If we make the slightest mistake, everything will be over!"
"We're all Physical Invulnerability experts with plenty of battle experience. I'm sure you know what to do!"
Go all out and fight for every single step!
After doing all this, Lu Yan personally handed over the name list to the referees of the same level and found out who the third main player of the Shang Qing Sect was.
It was not the injured "super-class" Yun Yan, nor was it the long-time second-class Ming He and the others. It was the newly promoted Peng Leyun.
He now had a nice nickname, "Immortal Outside the Clouds".
"Beyond the Clouds" originated from his name, but it was also because he was often in a daze, his mind wandering beyond the heavens.
"Peng Leyun … is a little strange," Lu Yan said as he returned to the cliff.
"Maybe there's something surprising about him," Ning Zitong put away her usual expression and said with a calm smile.
At this moment, she felt like she was looking down on the heroes of the world.
She was once the number one Physical Invulnerability expert!
In those years, she wasn't called "Empress Luo", but "Ghost King".
Ghost King Ning Zitong!
"Daoist Priest" made another breakthrough? Lou Cheng tried to recall the messages he had received in the group chat recently, but he didn't remember Peng Leyun mentioning anything like that.
[This kid has a lock on his mouth …]
While Lou Cheng was lost in his thoughts, the referee walked to the center of the arena, avoiding a spot where the high-voltage wires could fall. He signaled that the match was about to begin.
Dragon King Chen Qitao, who had been silent since the start of the match, stood up abruptly. The air around him surged upward, turning red and spraying everywhere.
At this moment, it was as though a volcano had erupted, and the temperature around him rose steadily.
He didn't punch, kick, or flick his wrist. Just the act of standing up was already so powerful!
Seeing this, the Warrior Sage, Qian Donglou, who was still standing on the high-voltage power line, smiled casually. He didn't react. Instead, he put his hands behind his back. His white Taoist robe was spotless, as if it had been washed over and over again.
Dragon King approached step by step, and the referee kept retreating. When both parties were facing each other, he raised his right hand and announced,
"Conversation time starts now."
Qian Donglou looked down at Chen Qitao from above. His tone was natural and light, as though he was overjoyed.
"We haven't fought for more than half a year, right?"
"After five months," Dragon King replied curtly.
"In the past six months, I've made some discoveries and created three new moves. I'd like to invite you to evaluate them," Qian Donglou said leisurely with a smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Lou Cheng was speechless. He was filled with emotions.
God-Slaying Saber Lu Yongyuan had spent twenty years to break free from his confinement and shackles. He had a unique understanding of the Nine Moves Saber Techniques that truly belonged to him. Qian Donglou, on the other hand, had created three new moves in less than half a year. New moves that could be used against Dragon King were as easy as picking up cabbages from the market.
Furthermore, similar incidents were happening all the time.
This was also why Qian Donglou's martial arts talent was unique in this world. It was also why he was known as the "one in a thousand years".
Chen Qitao listened quietly before replying slowly,
"Mastery in one's work, and waste in complexity."
"Despite all the changes, the original is still the same. This' one 'is in my hands," Qian Donglou chuckled.
His body suddenly swayed, rising and falling with the wind. His surroundings came to life, no longer as rigid as before. Instead, they were filled with the interest of nature.
At this moment, he seemed to have become one with heaven and earth. At this moment, he had transformed from Qian Donglou into Warrior Sage. Even though Dragon King's aura was soaring to the heavens and rolling waves of heat, he was repelled.
After staring at each other in silence for a while, Qian Donglou slowly raised his right hand. Under the afternoon sun, it glowed faintly like white jade.
"The first move, Sky Splitter, is like the splitting of the heavens," Qian Donglou said slowly.
At this moment, the referee seemed to have coordinated with him and announced,
"Begin!"
Bam!
Warrior Sage's palm struck down. Bright electric arcs instantly formed, twisting and thickening, like a crack in the heavens.
This Sky Splitter engulfed the surroundings, including Qian Donglou's figure, and struck down with the same emotionless force of all things.
At the same time, two high-voltage wires snapped, swinging away rapidly as if they were being pulled. The ends of the wires ejected silvery-white and exaggerated electric arcs, transforming into whips that lashed at Chen Qitao.
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt. Affected by this, eight electric snakes sprang up in the form of pythons and pounced at Qian Donglou from all directions. If not for the gaps in the electric arcs, no one would have been able to avoid them at the speed of light.
In a short moment, Dragon King was ambushed from all sides. Apart from the soles of his feet, he was attacked from all directions. It seemed that he had no choice but to face the attacks head-on and break through first.
That was what Chen Qitao did, but he didn't choose the relatively weaker eight electric pythons, nor did he consider the silvery-white long whips, which were limited by the speed of the falling wires.
Bam! The ground beneath his feet cracked open, lava gushing out, and scorching air rising, propelling him through the encirclement of the electric pythons and long whips. He clenched his fist and struck upwards.
He was attacking Qian Donglou's strongest point!
A heavy purple blanket, the high temperature distorting the air current, struck the descending Sky Splitter.
Boom!
The silvery-white and lavender colors were like exploding fireworks. They were extremely dazzling and scattered downwards, almost drenching Lou Cheng and the others.
A jade-white palm appeared and struck Qian Donglou's tightly clenched fingers.
Warrior Sage Qian Donglou's vanished figure reappeared and was thrown diagonally upwards.
He did a somersault in mid-air and descended at a much faster speed than normal, as though something on the ground was pulling him.
Electricity generates magnetism, magnetism is different!
Bam! At that moment, Qian Donglou transformed into a bolt of lightning and struck towards Chen Qitao's head, who was having trouble changing directions in mid-air.
In such a situation, he might not be able to dodge if he hastily ignited the Flame Force in his body.
But just as Qian Donglou was about to land, a gust of wind blew, changing Dragon King's direction and gliding to the ground.
This was a hurricane created by the large difference in temperature. This was the hidden variation of Chen Qitao's punch.
Fire generates wind, and wind fuels fire. He had used the unique skills of the Fire Sect to great effect.
Seeing Dragon King avoid the attack and land steadily, Lou Cheng couldn't help but praise,
"Cool!"
Immediately after, he realized that Chen Qitao was about to take a step. Regardless of whether Chen Qitao could hear him or react in time, he quickly shouted,
"Jump!"
If a high-voltage wire was placed in that area, one would be electrocuted if they took a step forward.
At that moment, he had to pretend that he had consumed the Half-step Crazy Smile.
Dragon King seemed to be taking a step, but he wasn't. He leaped and changed his position, avoiding the electric shock.
He had fought with Qian Donglou many times. Qian Donglou had often conducted sneak attacks by channeling electricity into the ground. He had long been at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he realized that Ning Zitong, Lu Yan, and Guo Jie were looking at him strangely.
Cough … He cleared his throat and returned his gaze to the battlefield.
