Upon hearing Lu Yongyuan's declaration, Lou Cheng was as calm as an ice lake. He replied politely,
"Let's wait and see."
As he spoke, he continued with his previous preparations. He restrained the Ice Soul and guided the Flame Force to form the last light blue fireball outside his body. It shone together with the blazing white, golden, crimson, and light purple colors that were circling around him.
Against such a God-Slaying Saber, one couldn't be too cautious!
Lu Yongyuan didn't care about Lou Cheng's reply. With his back facing the referee, he grabbed the hilt of his saber the moment his opponent raised his arm. Throughout the entire process, there was no change in his speed. It was the same from one second to the next. The spectators were shocked.
When his slightly thick and slender fingers tightened and touched the surface of the hilt that was scorched by the high temperature environment, his temperament suddenly changed. He was like a loaded gun, a missile that had a target, a divine weapon that had been erased of dust and removed of concealment.
In the blink of an eye, the flames on the ground weakened and the lava flowed slowly. It was as though the heavens had been cut in half. Between the darkness, there was a bright and slender ray of light.
Lou Cheng's hair stood on end. The referee's piercing voice rang in his ears.
"Begin!"
Lu Yongyuan took a leisurely step forward. The God-Slaying Saber was silently unsheathed.
With this slash, Lou Cheng felt as though the two of them had been separated from the world, forming a new independent world!
This world was so small that the distance between them was only a few meters. Lu Yongyuan took a casual step forward and entered the attack range. The black and heavy saber came crashing down. The formless airflow boiled and turned into shackles that pressed down on his opponent, interfering with the rotation of the faint purple, golden, and other colors.
Nine Godly Sabers, Perimeter!
Nothing can be accomplished without rules!
Using the profundity of this move, Lu Yongyuan easily imitated Kaori Karasawa's Shrinking Ground. In fact, he even surpassed the speed of Kaori Karasawa's Shrinking Ground. He was on par with the speed of Lou Cheng's Attainment Formula's combined Jet Spray.
Compared to the Battle of Grandmasters, his Perimeter was obviously more sophisticated, more mysterious, and more advanced!
Back then, Lou Cheng had used the complete Fighting Formula and the violence of his Dan Qi to forcefully break the rules and barely block this move. This time, he made the same choice, but the power was even more terrifying because he was using Nine Rotations of Five Flames. Descend of the Sun!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The Five Flames glowed brightly, burning away the invisible bindings with a scorching heat. Then, as Lou Cheng took a step forward, shook his arm, and swung his fist, they flew down and merged into one!
Just as Lou Cheng's fist was about to land on the side of the God-Slaying Saber, the Great Sun condensed and was about to illuminate the land. Suddenly, the black saber trembled and bounced up. Then, it disappeared without a trace.
Nine Godly Sabers, "Bladeless"!
This wasn't a move that was followed by another move. Instead, the changes of one move were followed by another move.
What does it mean to do as one pleases and not overstep the bounds? This was it!
Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes, but it was too late to interrupt.
The blazing light completely exploded. The audience either instinctively closed their eyes or temporarily lost their sight. All they could see was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Following which, they felt the ground tremble. The bulletproof and heat-resistant glass shook, and they heard a deafening rumble.
A deep crater appeared in front of Lou Cheng. Under the pressure, the magma flowing underground turned into a fountain. Lu Yongyuan was nowhere to be seen. With the help of the smoke and violent winds, he managed to hide from the Enemy Heart Freezing Move.
Flames flickered in his eyes. Lou Cheng suddenly had a strong premonition of danger.
Without hesitation, he turned his body halfway and visualized. Taking advantage of the situation, he pulled back his arm and swung it behind him!
A long saber covered in dazzling light cut through the void and descended. Then, Lu Yongyuan's meticulous slicked-back hair and slightly green eyes appeared.
Weng!
The God-Slaying Saber shook, and the light split into eight, slashing at various parts of Lou Cheng's body like a storm.
The long saber, which had lost its dazzling light, was now dark. It maintained its previous trajectory and slashed downwards dangerously.
Nine Godly Saber Techniques, Nine Yin!
At this moment, a layer of crystal appeared on the surface of Lou Cheng's body and rapidly spread outwards. Before the eight saber rays could get close, they seemed to have fallen into a viscous liquid. Their radiance began to weaken and their speed gradually slowed.
The closer they got to Lou Cheng, the thicker the viscous liquid. In the end, they even formed an ice wall.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha! Amidst the shattering sounds, Lou Cheng's fist struck the black long saber.
Poof!
A muffled sound rang out. The God-Slaying Saber was slightly askew and slashed at empty space. Beautiful, clear snowflakes of various shapes formed on the surface of the saber. Eight wounds that were neither deep nor shallow appeared on different parts of Lou Cheng's body.
The eighth move of the Ice Sect, Frozen Heaven and Earth, Everlasting!
This move was both defensive and offensive. It could affect the surroundings, rapidly lowering the temperature, freezing the airflow, and neutralizing the opponent's attack. Wherever the opponent's fist or leg came in contact with, a small area would be frozen. Because of the Ice Spirit Force hidden within, it wouldn't melt in a short period of time, severely affecting the opponent's movement.
If it weren't for the Fiery Hell, Lou Cheng wouldn't even be injured!
Of course, if he didn't have a premonition of danger and rich experience in life and death battles, he would either not be able to use it in time or make the wrong decision to dodge. In that case, the eight rays of light would have sealed off his path, and the God-Slaying Saber would have succeeded in one strike!
The black saber landed on empty space, drawing a beautiful arc. Along with the ice and snow that hadn't melted, it retreated with greater force. Lou Cheng was about to counterattack when he sensed danger again.
This time, he suddenly pounced to the side.
A bolt of lightning lit up. The airflow behind him formed a cone shape and expanded into clouds. Its speed was even faster than Kaori Karasawa's Flying Dragon Takedown!
Nine Godly Saber Techniques, Extreme Electricity!
Boom!
Amidst the deafening explosion, Lou Cheng's ears went against common sense. He closed his eyes and blocked most of the sound waves. Using the strong wind and waves, he rolled like a donkey and flipped like a sparrow hawk. He stood up again and widened the distance between them. .
However, Lu Yongyuan didn't stop to introduce his moves like he did in the Master Battle. Retracting his Extreme Electricity, he took a step forward and struck again with his saber, not giving his opponent any time to catch his breath!
This strike was Square and Circle again, shortening the distance between them once more. The shackles of the Rules pressed down on Lou Cheng.
Again … The thought flashed across Lou Cheng's mind. Taking a deep breath, he hugged his lower abdomen with his mental strength, forming a miniature universe of balance between darkness and stars.
The stars moved and the Fighting Formula formed!
With the eruption of Dan Force, he swelled up to two meters tall. His clothes outlined his muscles, and his exposed skin was dark blue. The flowing lines of "flame" and the shape of ice crystals and snowflakes could be vaguely seen under his skin. He looked like a giant older than the gods.
Bam! Bam! Bam! The shackles shattered inch by inch. Lou Cheng twisted his waist and back, and his right fist flew out like a rocket launcher.
Boom!
Flames erupted from the ground, and the tongues tore at Lu Yongyuan's legs. The God-Slaying Saber was also knocked back.
After that punch, the Flame Force in Lou Cheng's body exploded, allowing him to exert strength for a second time. Charging forward, he closed in on his opponent in an instant. His left fist, covered in purple flames, swung diagonally upwards, aiming for his opponent's chin.
Lu Yongyuan's expression was as calm as the water in a deep pool. Without any change, he lowered his shoulders and pulled the God-Slaying Saber again.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! He swung the Eight Strokes continuously, blocking his opponent's attacks one after another.
Bam bam bam! Lou Cheng swung his fists, smashing, hammering, and swinging. Every strike was heavy and hot as he pressed forward crazily.
Lu Yongyuan's Eight Strokes seemed to be endless. Lou Cheng's violent attacks were like the scorching sun in the sky. No matter how strong or terrifying they were, they would eventually be swallowed by the darkness.
Nine Godly Saber Techniques, Dusk!
After a series of attacks, Lou Cheng, who had some poison in his body, had to take a breather. Lu Yongyuan, on the other hand, did the same sluggish action as if he was looking in a mirror.
Not good! Sensing danger again, Lou Cheng shifted his center of gravity, swung his waist, and pounced.
Another bolt of lightning illuminated the Earth Fire, and a cone-shaped air mass was ejected out.
At this moment, Lu Yongyuan's body sank, and his wrists became heavier. He forcefully interrupted the Extreme Electricity, stopping the God-Slaying Saber halfway.
Boom!
Amidst the sound of the explosion, the long saber bounced up and fell abruptly. It was like a real, baring lightning bolt or a spear from the gods in the sky thrusting towards the ground.
Nine Godly Saber Techniques, Heavenly Spear!
Another forced change of moves!
Bam! Before Lou Cheng could stabilize himself, he was enveloped by the saber. In a hurry, he could only respond with Severe Warning. His fists flew up, and his arms and body were covered in a layer of ice armor.
To him, he could already execute simplified Physical Invulnerability moves quickly!
Boom!
The long saber paused, and Lou Cheng staggered. The ice armor shattered inch by inch.
At this moment, Lu Yongyuan turned his arm and made a charging gesture.
All of a sudden, darkness appeared and absorbed all the light in the surroundings. All Lou Cheng saw was darkness, all he heard was silence, and all he felt was emptiness.
The last move of Nine Godly Saber Techniques, Eternal Silence!
Last time, Lou Cheng had to rely on the Nine Words Formula to break through his opponent's mental suppression and block the saber. He also relied on Lu Yongyuan's "too slow" — the long saber's speed was too slow, and there was still room for recovery if he made a mistake in judgment.
Now that the God-Slaying Saber had made a comeback, it had probably overcome its shortcomings and was hiding a change that targeted the Nine Words Formula.
Facing this, Lou Cheng didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
This was the moment he was waiting for!
Waiting for Lu Yongyuan to execute Eternal Silence!
Logically speaking, even if he hadn't fought Kaori Karasawa, he wouldn't have much of a chance of winning against Lu Yongyuan, who was close to the level of Dragon King or Warrior Sage.
Through the combination of martial arts and cultivation, the Dan into Equilibrium, and the Cosmic Universe Style, Lou Cheng had almost reached the level of a Second Pin when he had just mastered the unique skills of the Ice Sect and Fire Sect. When he mastered both, coupled with the experience of life and death battles in the war-torn zones, and his own insights, he wouldn't dare to say that he was a First Pin, but he would have a 30% to 40% chance of defeating a Mighty One of the same level. Unfortunately, Lu Yongyuan wasn't just a First Pin. He was a Mighty One with titles, the King of Sabers who had improved!
Therefore, after the battle with Kaori Karasawa, he could only consider how much he could exhaust his opponent.
However, if he only thought about exhausting his opponent, he would be restrained and unable to unleash his full potential. Therefore, Lou Cheng set a grand goal to motivate himself to work hard!
This goal was to:
Defeat him!
Defeat the God-Slaying Saber, Lu Yongyuan!
This wasn't completely hopeless. There was still a tiny possibility.
It could be that what he had comprehended from the Restriction Sect, Clear Jade Chapters happened to counter Lu Yongyuan's self-created strongest move, Eternal Silence!
In the silent darkness, Lou Cheng lowered his center of gravity. His feet were in the air, and he lifted his right hand clumsily.
This was the moment he had been waiting for!
