Flames ignited behind him and tore through the air. Like a rocket, Lou Cheng closed the distance between him and Qian Donglou and punched his face.
He imitated the Nile General Sathah, using the Fire Sect techniques as its foundation. He called it Jet Counterattack.
The shadow on his face grew heavier and the fist in his eyes grew bigger. Qian Donglou suddenly smiled and took a deep breath.
His body swelled again, his muscles propping up his tattered clothes. Through the cracks, his pulsating veins, bronze skin, and lightning patterns outlined by a silver pen could be seen.
Qian Donglou clenched his left hand into a fist, sending out bolts of purple electricity from his joints and muscles. This stimulated his body like a simplified explosive secret art, but it also contained a dangerous aura.
Bam! He swung his shoulders and punched. Attack against attack!
Boom!
The exaggerated contortions of his muscles and bones were drowned out by the tumbling airwaves and the exaggerated sound of the collision. Purple electric sparks flew everywhere.
Against such a backdrop, Lou Cheng's body swayed and he took two steps back.
The Thunder Sect's martial arts were known for their ferocity.
After a long battle, the heavily injured Qian Donglou was still slightly stronger than Lou Cheng.
Bam! As Lou Cheng retreated, Qian Donglou immediately rushed forward. His left leg stepped out and his right leg tensed to deliver a low kick, no higher than the knee joint.
Lou Cheng's right fist was still numb from the electric shock. His opponent's movements were swift and fluid, giving him no chance to use Force Concentration to neutralize the effects.
Lifting his hip, spreading his leg, and tensing his knee, he could only match a low kick with a low kick.
Bam!
As the two feet collided, both shoes shattered into flying butterflies, some burning with purple flames, some entwined with electric sparks.
Lou Cheng swung his left leg back and took a large step back, widening the distance between them.
As Qian Donglou closed in again, he outlined a large ancient word in his mind. He didn't use any hand seals, but used it in a simplified manner.
"Formation!" A deep, authoritative voice reverberated. The surrounding airflow immediately constricted and solidified, like invisible shackles, trying to bind his opponent.
At this moment, purple electricity flashed between Qian Donglou's eyebrows. The terrifying aura of a Heavenly Tribulation filled the air again, suppressing all unnatural things.
The illusory lightning swept across, and the mysterious air disappeared in an instant. Before the air cage could take shape, it had already vanished.
Lou Cheng was well aware of the uniqueness of the Thunder Sect. He didn't expect the simplified "Formation" Formula to have any effect, but he seized this brief moment to recover his qi and blood and paralysis.
His Dan force gushed out. Instead of retreating, he moved forward. He swung his right arm, which had returned to normal, and hammered his opponent vigorously. A thin layer of purple flame rose and covered the surface of his fist, giving it a heavy feeling.
At the same time, he hid his strength in his left shoulder and was about to launch a series of slashes. He was going to inject needles crazily into the Martial Saint, who only had one arm to use. He was going to maximize his advantage.
Facing Lou Cheng's attack, Qian Donglou suddenly lowered his body. Like an agile monkey, he changed his position slightly and positioned himself in front of Lou Cheng's right. This made it difficult for Lou Cheng's follow-up left punch to land.
Crack! Turning his left palm into a knife, Qian Donglou raised it and chopped at Lou Cheng's right wrist. Purple flames flowed from the cut, and electric sparks shot out.
Without waiting for Lou Cheng to turn and punch with his left fist, Qian Donglou used the momentum of the downward rebound to bend his left arm. With a bam, he hit his opponent's chest with his elbow.
Lou Cheng's prepared left arm swung and turned his fist into a palm. He blocked horizontally and barely caught the Martial Saint's elbow joint.
Even so, the back of his palm was pressed against his chest, making him feel suffocated.
Lou Cheng couldn't care less about this. His hair stood on end. Without thinking, he circulated his qi and blood to stimulate his body and executed the simplified "Fighting" Formula.
His muscles swelled. With a shake of his left palm, he shook Qian Donglou out. At this moment, his opponent had smoothly retracted his arm. He changed from a bump to a lean, using a long saber after a small knife.
Boom!
Qian Donglou, who had been thrown out, leaned against the air. His invisible force produced a sound akin to a sonic boom.
Lou Cheng couldn't help but feel lucky. If he didn't have the ability to detect danger and reacted half a beat slower, he would have been hit head-on and followed in Dragon King's footsteps.
Qian Donglou had done all this with only his left arm. Through his grasp of timing, judgment of the situation, and observation of his own body, he had turned something rotten into something magical.
Although he was a martial artist who was good at improvising in battle, he was still too green and inexperienced compared to the Martial Saint.
This was a true Grandmaster.
Lou Cheng's thoughts ran smoothly in his Ice Heart, not affecting his judgment. Using the strong wind created by Qian Donglou's head-on collision, he shifted his center of gravity, twisted his waist, and circled around his opponent. He swung his arms wide and punched continuously.
Compared to before, he focused on the Mesmerizing Snow Steps. Regardless of whether his fist collided with his opponent, he immediately changed directions after a punch. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Lou Cheng wasn't stingy with his Flame Force. Purple flames covered the surface of his fist and sputtered out continuously.
This raised the temperature of the surroundings once again, causing both parties to breathe in scorching air.
This was the application of Fata Morgana, Suffocating Hell.
Just as dark clouds gathered overhead and the magnetic field on the ground intensified, Lou Cheng took the initiative to change his move. He hit the Martial Saint with a Scorching Punch and ignited the scorching air.
In an instant, he and Qian Donglou were completely immersed in a sea of flames. Flames billowed around them, making it look like hell.
In such an environment, Lou Cheng's skin wasn't charred, and his clothes only started to curl. The flames surrounded him but didn't hurt him, making him look like the emperor of fire.
In terms of fire control, he was confident that he could completely suppress the Martial Saint.
In such a battle, the difference was obvious.
Qian Donglou naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death in the sea of flames. Before his hair and clothes caught fire, he struck his left palm diagonally, a purple seal flashing in his eyes.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Bolts of lightning fell from the dark clouds in the sky. The lightning seemed to have transformed into a forest, covering the sea of flames.
Expressionlessly, Lou Cheng condensed a layer of pure ice and withstood a lightning strike. He stepped closer to the Martial Saint and punched out.
Qian Donglou shook his left arm, reached out, and grabbed. Then, he broke the tendons and dislocated the bones.
At this moment, the sea of flames was extinguished, and the dark clouds dispersed.
Poof! Just as Qian Donglou's palm grabbed Lou Cheng's fist, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing cold. A thick and translucent layer of ice started from his fingers and spread rapidly to his body.
"Lament of the Ice Queen!"
After keeping the Fire Force "away" from his body, Lou Cheng didn't need to use Force Concentration to balance the Lament of the Ice Queen.
This was the result of his experience after the Master Battle and the changes he had prepared for today's match.
Seeing that he was about to be sealed in ice, Qian Donglou suddenly twisted his arm and leaped into the air, spinning at high speed. The drill bit was his five fingers that were frozen in the ice.
Bzzt bzzt bzzt! Silver snakes of lightning spurted out, forming an illusory electric drill. In a breath, it split the thick ice wall.
However, Lou Cheng didn't seem to care. He clenched his other hand into a fist and threw a crimson fireball at Qian Donglou, who was in mid-air.
This was the real attack he had been planning for a long time.
Boom!
Amidst the lightning, Lou Cheng's body swayed and he took a few steps back. The surface of his right fist had turned black. Lightning arcs danced wildly, causing intense pain and numbness.
However, he wasn't dejected. On the contrary, he was delighted. This was because Qian Donglou had been blasted away. His face was covered in dust, and his injuries were even more severe.
If he hadn't made use of the residual magnetism on the ground, he would have staggered further.
This was the first time Lou Cheng had truly hurt his opponent since the start of the battle. His Energy, Qi, Spirit, and Will were all connected.
I can hurt him!
I can win!
Lou Cheng's willpower soared to the skies as he executed the simplified Attainment Formula with an indestructible force. He closed the distance between them and Qian Donglou's side. Another Force Concentration, another flurry of blows from his cloak, and the Lord Emperor's Purple Flame burned his opponent's body, raising the surrounding temperature.
After all, Qian Donglou had lost an arm and was heavily injured. Even though his moves were simple yet profound, and he successfully defended against Lou Cheng's attacks one after another, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Bam!
Suddenly, he flipped his hand and struck out a cyan Palm Thunder, forcing Lou Cheng to dodge.
Seizing this opportunity, the remaining high-voltage electric poles seemed to throw an invisible rope at Qian Donglou, dragging him over.
He wanted to return to his home field.
But at this time, Lou Cheng leisurely raised his arms and formed a hand seal.
This was the moment he was waiting for!
The magnetism on the surface of Qian Donglou's body changed. He tried to dodge, but for some reason, Lou Cheng's movements were clearly slower by half a beat. However, this delay gave him the opportunity to reorient himself.
"Confrontation!"
Seeing this, Dragon King Chen Qitao nodded, which was rare.
Slowness was the essence of the transformation just now!
"Confrontation!"
As the voice entered his ears, Qian Donglou felt an uncontrollable tiredness and familiar laziness. He wanted nothing more than to lie in the shade of a tree, close his eyes, and fall asleep. He wanted nothing more than to distance himself from the battle and enjoy the peace and quiet.
This was his favorite state, and he almost couldn't extricate himself from it.
Lou Cheng had anticipated that he might encounter a Warrior Sage today, so he had prepared several plans. As for whether all of them would be effective, that would have to wait. In any case, one of them was to rely on the Confrontation Formula and Qian Donglou's laziness.
Taking advantage of Qian Donglou's weakened fighting spirit and slow reaction, Lou Cheng closed the distance with the Attainment Formula. First, he struck with his left elbow, then his right fist, and then his leg to trip Qian Donglou.
Relying on years of instincts and reflexes, One-armed Qian Donglou actually managed to block this round of frenzied attacks. However, Lou Cheng finally opened up his stance.
Without making any adjustments, Lou Cheng stepped on the ground, turned his body, and crashed into Qian Donglou.
Bam!
Qian Donglou's arm was swatted away weakly. His chest bones were fractured, and he staggered backwards.
Lou Cheng took a step forward and used Force Concentration to draw the Fighting Formula.
His body expanded, and his powerful Qi and blood seemed capable of harming others. He swung his arm and punched at the Warrior Sage.
Qian Donglou's eyes glowed. His entire body seemed to turn illusory, turning into streaks of lightning. Silver, deep purple, and green exploded.
Lou Cheng didn't make any adjustments. He just punched with his eyes wide open.
Boom!
As if there was an explosion, Qian Donglou sank knee-deep into the ground. Traces of blood could be seen at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Lou Cheng's entire body was convulsing. Electricity danced on the surface of his body, paralyzing all his muscles.
However, his willpower was high. He forced himself to complete a Dan Equilibrium Concentration, alleviating much of the effects. Then, he punched at Qian Donglou's face.
Just as his opponent followed the Dan Equilibrium Concentration and raised his arm to block, Lou Cheng forcibly twisted his waist and shifted his position. In a flash, he was behind the Warrior Sage. His hands swiped forward, pressing on both sides of the Warrior Sage's temples.
Qian Donglou was an arrow at the end of its flight. He could only focus on his left, but not his right. He couldn't make a complete response in time.
Phew! The wind slowed. Lou Cheng's palms stopped. The referee raised his right arm and announced,
"Round two, Lou Cheng wins!"
