Most of the audience wouldn't have noticed such a small delay. But to a Physical Invulnerability Mighty One, it was obvious and clear.
Liang Yifan took half a step forward and clenched his right hand into a fist. Before Lou Cheng could raise his arm, he punched towards his left shoulder. This simple move exposed his opponent's problem and made many people gasp.
In the face of this, Lou Cheng seemed to be unable to dodge or even react hastily. However, at the position corresponding to his shoulder, Emperor Yan Force and Ice Spirit Force suddenly became active and collided. It was just like the encounter between a blazing white star and an icy darkness in his mind!
A simplified Physical Invulnerability move, a mutated version of Severe Warning!
The reason why Lou Cheng used it now was to block Liang Yifan's punches. His left shoulder was injured again in exchange for a chance to take down his opponent!
Knowing that his left shoulder was the target of his opponent, how could he not be prepared?
The previous dodging and defense were all to lower his opponent's vigilance!
Ice and fire intertwined and Yin and Yang reversed. Lou Cheng's left shoulder suddenly became dark, like a bottomless whirlpool or a demonic beast hiding in the darkness waiting for its prey to approach. Once it absorbed the opponent's attack, it would immediately devour the opponent's strength and burst out.
At this moment, Liang Yifan's finger joints suddenly moved. He opened his fist and a dark blue ball flew out from his palm!
Poof! This dark blue ball hit Lou Cheng's shoulder and disappeared instantly, as if absorbed by a certain spot.
Following which, his left shoulder caved in and his strength surged. The dark blue ball that was dyed black spurted out and hit the spot where it came from.
But Liang Yifan had already used the reverse push of the dark blue ball to forcefully bend his back, dragging his right arm and dodging to the side.
Bam!
He pulled his shoulder and swung his right palm down, landing it on Lou Cheng's shoulder right after the dark blue ball was released.
Lake and Mirror Mirrored Wisdom!
He had seen so many highlights of Lou Cheng's previous battles and knew that his opponent was good at improvisation. Even if he didn't set a trap, he couldn't take it for granted that his opponent was at his wit's end. Therefore, he went with the flow and pretended not to be on guard, but in reality, he was hiding dangerous changes.
You have a good plan, I have a ladder!
I'll beat you at your own game!
Bam! Liang Yifan bent the five fingers of his right hand and tightly gripped the enemy's shoulder. Then he pulled and tore, paralyzing the left side of the enemy's upper body.
At the critical moment, Lou Cheng's body suddenly expanded. His muscles bulged, and his veins turned into dragons. His shoulders rose up against Liang Yifan's fingers, making Liang Yifan's grip feel like it was going to fly away.
In the blink of an eye, Lou Cheng used a simplified version of the Fighting Formula. There was no time for him to think!
Bang! Liang Yifan's grappling technique didn't work. His eyes narrowed, his left arm shook, and his fist smashed towards his opponent's waist to disturb his opponent and complete the grappling!
Crack! His left fist cracked open the layer of ice, but it was wrapped up by the frost on his palm.
Lou Cheng's right hand had reached out at some point!
Pa! He flicked his knuckles and grabbed Liang Yifan's left fist.
Lou Cheng had always thought highly of his opponents, especially when his opponents were super-class experts, after many rounds of self-examination in the arena or life-or-death battles.
Therefore, his first trap was to numb Liang Yifan. Only by putting himself in a desperate situation could he truly win the other party's trust!
I'll beat him at his own game!
Seeing that Lou Cheng was about to capture his opponent, Liang Yifan's expression didn't change. His left shoulder suddenly went limp, and his entire arm lost its tension. Like a python that had its bone pulled out, his arm drooped down naturally, pulling his fist back.
Water can penetrate stone when it's hard, but water can meander when it's soft!
At this moment, Liang Yifan's gaze suddenly turned cold. Lou Cheng's grappling technique with his right palm was just a cover. His real counterattack was on his left shoulder!
Specks of faint purple flames had been compressed and condensed. They were unusually heavy, causing Liang Yifan's five fingers to stick to his shoulder as he tried to retract them.
Using the characteristics of Emperor Yan Force, Lou Cheng allowed them to maintain contact for a short period of time.
Following which, the Ice Spirit Force in his body rushed into Liang Yifan's body through his right hand as if it was free of charge!
At this moment, Lou Cheng didn't have the time to use any unique skills. He just used the most primitive and pure method.
Since his opponent was using Water Force, which could effectively extinguish Emperor Yan Force and reduce the damage, he created Ice Tide to freeze the flowing water!
Ice Spirit Force rolled and swept wildly. Liang Yifan's right hand was quickly covered in white frost starting from his fingertips. He was frozen in place, causing the contact to last for a few more moments.
His expression was solemn, and his eyes were blue. His muscles, fascia, and force all trembled and continued to circulate.
Lou Cheng's Ice Spirit Force lost the feeling of white mist along the way. It seemed that no matter how much it surged, it couldn't affect Liang Yifan at all.
The first move of the Water Sect, Stone Sinking Into the Sea!
A unique defensive skill!
Crack! Liang Yifan broke free from the stickiness and swung backwards!
At this moment, Lou Cheng didn't feel dejected or disappointed. He forcefully raised his left hand and pushed forward with his right palm. Flames gathered in front of him, and countless faint purple flames gushed out of his body, forming something like a Vitality Bomb.
When the Ice Spirit Force flowed outwards, Emperor Yan Force naturally gathered under the balance!
His traps were linked, but they weren't particularly elaborate. They purely relied on their own characteristics.
The more elaborate the trap, the easier it was to be interrupted and lose its effect!
Flames flashed in Liang Yifan's eyes. He immediately twisted his waist and shifted his center of gravity, intending to dodge to the side. He believed that when his opponent threw out the fireball, he would have already dodged it. At most, he would be hurt by the aftershocks.
However, Lou Cheng didn't let the fireball fly. Instead, he detonated the Primordial Qi Bomb formed by Emperor Yan Force when the distance between them was still less than five meters!
"Is he crazy?" The guest commentator, He Xiaowei, blurted out.
This kind of attack would engulf Lou Cheng as well!
Boom!
A blazing white light enveloped Lou Cheng and Liang Yifan in an instant. Flames and smoke rose into the air with a loud buzzing sound, like a mushroom.
Amidst the violent tremors of the earth, two figures flew backwards. Liang Yifan's hair was messy, his face was charred, and his body was covered in wounds. It was a horrible sight. However, as the dark blue circulated, his breathing was steady and didn't decrease by much.
On the other hand, the flames on Lou Cheng's body didn't hurt his skin. There were many lacerations and dents in front of his body, but it was much better than his opponent.
When facing an explosion and a wave of fire at the same time, a Mighty One who often suffered similar injuries and a fire control expert would definitely be at an advantage. Furthermore, while Lou Cheng was suppressing Emperor Yan Force, he had also caused Ice Spirit to lose its balance, and his body automatically formed a defense!
These two advantages were the reason why he dared to trade injury for injury with Liang Yifan!
A small injury for a major injury!
For Liang Yifan, a major injury would trigger the hidden danger he encountered with Empress Luo, Ning Zitong. It would make it difficult to suppress the weakness that came from the root!
That was Lou Cheng's real goal!
If not, he wouldn't have a chance of defeating his opponent, even if he had prepared a trap!
Bam! Lou Cheng's figure leaped out, closing in on Liang Yifan amidst the wind and waves. He launched his punches and kicks, using Brutal Blizzard and Fiery Invasion to suppress his opponent.
During this process, he didn't feel anxious because of the worsening injury on his left shoulder. Instead, he gave up on a few dangerous opportunities to fight. It was as though he wanted to engage in a patient battle to wear down his opponent and wait for his opponent to reach the end of his rope.
For a Physical Invulnerability expert of the Water Sect, this was originally a rare situation. However, with the Dark Sky Force not completely removed and the heavy injury, everything was possible. Especially when Lou Cheng was known for his insane mental strength and stamina, and he had the Wholeness Formula to refresh his condition!
Bam bam bam! Bam bam bam!
Lou Cheng used his Ice Heart to reflect his surroundings. Relying on his terrifying control of his body, he turned his left arm into a weapon, mainly for defense, while his right fist and legs were the spearhead for attack.
The wind and snow howled, the flames lit up, and the dark blue rippled. The two were in an intense and stalemate.
"Lou Cheng is trying to fight a battle of attrition," He Xiaowei pointed out.
The host pondered for a few seconds before agreeing. "This is his area of strength. Coupled with Liang Yifan's hidden danger and current condition, it's not impossible."
Bam!
In the midst of their discussion, Lou Cheng moved to the side and threw a punch at his opponent's neck.
Under the light of the purple flames, Liang Yifan raised his left arm to block, while his right hand punched out in an attempt to counterattack.
Based on Lou Cheng's intentions and the trend he had shown before, he would definitely dodge this time. He wouldn't blindly engage in a desperate hand-to-hand battle and focus on attrition.
That was Liang Yifan's plan.
Compared to before, he was gradually showing signs of weakness.
Bam! His right fist hit empty air, creating a shockwave. However, Lou Cheng only leaned to the side and didn't move his feet. His fist, which was about to be blocked by his opponent's left arm, changed direction with a muffled thud. It rose to the sky and blasted towards Liang Yifan's face.
Liang Yifan was slightly shocked, but he didn't panic. He quickly bent his back and raised his left arm.
The first change of direction would obviously lead to a second change of direction. This was something Liang Yifan had to be cautious about. Therefore, when he blocked with his left arm, his Force seemed to shrink inward. He planned to use a crouching Force Concentration to dodge and prepare to counterattack at the same time.
At this moment, Lou Cheng suddenly retracted his fist. He didn't do the second and third changes of direction. He wanted to achieve Dan Equilibrium first.
In that miniature universe, the stars moved and formed the word "Fighting".
Lou Cheng had no intention of fighting a battle of attrition. His previous performance only made this deduction seem logical. Once again, Liang Yifan was fooled.
Yes, his opponent would get weaker and weaker. On the other hand, his mental and physical strength were abnormal. With the Wholeness Formula, a battle of attrition seemed to be the best and most reasonable way.
However, Liang Yifan definitely wouldn't resign himself to death. He would definitely think of a way to break out of this situation. When that happened, there would be too many variables. It would be hard to tell who would win.
More importantly, Xinghai's Queen of Thought knew the Nine Words Formula. God knows if Liang Yifan knew it too. If he also knew the Wholeness Formula, things would be troublesome.
Therefore, Lou Cheng only had one goal. First, he would paralyze his opponent. Then, he would find an opportunity to attack. Close combat, crazy attacks, and take advantage of his opponent's hidden weakness.
Under such circumstances, he might not be able to catch his breath at any time.
Bam! Lou Cheng's body grew taller and larger. He was over two meters tall. Faint purple ice crystals loomed on his body like engraved patterns.
Bam!
He took a step forward and raised his arm. His fist was like a giant hammer as he smashed it at his opponent.
Liang Yifan was dodged and couldn't take advantage of the opportunity to distance himself. He could only spurt out his Dan Force and jump up from his crouching position. He raised his arms to block.
Bam! Hit by pure strength, his body wobbled and his legs trembled. Even the "stone sinking into the ocean" didn't completely dissipate.
Bam! Lou Cheng withdrew and released. It was the Fighting Formula again.
Bam bam! After two consecutive hits, Liang Yifan gave up his footing and flew backward. Lou Cheng, with faint blue flames behind him, chased after him.
Bam bam bam! Bam bam bam! He didn't stop attacking. His opponent was wobbling and retreating as he fought.
But the Water Sect Physical Invulnerability experts were resilient. They showed signs of defeat a few times but recovered each time.
Bam!
Lou Cheng's punch was blocked. His momentum started to fall from its peak. His body started to show sluggishness and weakness.
Damn it. I didn't manage to take him down in one go and now I'm in trouble … As his thoughts raced, Lou Cheng was about to turn around and defend passively.
But this time, he didn't see his opponent's counterattack.
How could Liang Yifan let go of this opportunity?
His weakness had completely broken out.
With this thought, Lou Cheng's Qi and blood surged. He stimulated his body and used the Simplified Wholeness Formula.
He seized the opportunity and didn't give Liang Yifan a chance to use a similar secret technique.
Lou Cheng's momentum surged again. While his opponent was catching his breath, he attacked crazily again.
Bam bam bam! Bam bam bam! He didn't try to dodge the punches and kicks. He only avoided the attacks on his vitals and tried to seize that fleeting opportunity.
Bam!
Finally, his Cannon Punch broke Liang Yifan's stance. He lowered his shoulder and knocked his opponent away.
Then, he grabbed his opponent and threw him to the ground.
Bam!
Dust flew and craters appeared. Liang Yifan was weak and couldn't get up again. Lou Cheng was on top of him, his fist pressed against his temple.
The referee approached at high speed. From afar, he raised his hand and shouted,
"Lou Cheng wins!"
Lou Cheng heard and heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to get up, but his legs gave way and he almost fell. He was covered in injuries and his breathing was extremely weak.
