Hearing Hoult's words, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Although there are many participants in this year's Regional Selection, you're the only one who can make me go all out."
Hoult laughed and said, "That's right. Then let's cut the crap and let everyone see what a true genius is, what a true top-notch Knight is."
After saying this, it was as if a strong gust of wind was stirred up in the arena. It was the air currents formed by the rapid surging of the Astral Tempest.
However, the one who made the first move was not Hoult.
Countless Astral Rivers flashed before Hoult, and only then did Fang Xingjian's longsword stop abruptly before him.
It was only after a long time that there was a loud rumbling sound. The majestic force blew away all the surrounding Astral Rivers.
Amidst the loud rumbling sound, there were sounds of metal clashing, air exploding, and the vibrations of vital energy, blood, and bones.
The terrifying sound waves crashed out in all directions. Some of the aristocrats with weaker attributes, who were not even Knights, felt dizzy, their chests tightened, and they felt short of breath, as if they would faint at any moment.
In the next moment, countless Fang Xingjian's silhouettes flashed crazily around Hoult. The many Astral Rivers were like many huge pythons, continuously using their bodies to fend off Fang Xingjian's attacks.
Each sword slash would cause a large area of Astral Rivers to explode and scatter. However, very quickly, even more Astral Rivers would gather.
Faced with Fang Xingjian, who was in the state of Boundaries Negation, Hoult was actually able to use the number of Astral Rivers to go against his speed.
Fang Xingjian was like a series of black lightning, continuously slashing out slashes around Hoult.
The sounds and actions of the entire battle were slightly delayed. This was because Fang Xingjian's speed had reached ten times that of supersonic speed, causing all the spectators to feel an indescribable discomfort.
Due to the high speed friction in the air, the sound produced was like the howls of a banshee. All the spectators who were below the level of Knights had no choice but to retreat. If they were to continue staying, they would probably be killed by the repercussions of this battle.
At this point in time, the weak did not even have the right to spectate.
Surrounded by the river of stars, Hoult stood still with his arms crossed. His eyes kept moving, trying to capture Fang Xingjian's figure at all times.
However, Fang Xingjian's speed was simply too fast. Almost every time he came into contact with the Astral Tempest, he would immediately retreat. It was as if he was not affected by the force at all. He kept lashing out at the Astral Tempest with the sword Qis produced by slicing through the air at high speed.
The high temperature caused Fang Xingjian's body to emit a faint red glow. White steam kept rising from his body.
Another explosive rumble rang out, and over a hundred streams of sword Qis mixed with over a hundred streams of Ether Sword Ripples tore through the Astral Tempest. Fang Xingjian's sword slashed onto Hoult's body.
But with a loud clang, Hoult took three steps back. Apart from the streaks of starlight on his face, he was unscathed.
The surface of his body was encompassed by the river of stars. It was as if he was wearing the armor of a level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon.
When Fang Xingjian's sword slashed out, the rebounding force continued to attack him, causing his body to pause for a moment. Then his silhouette was drowned by the river of stars.
However, it was only for an instant. In the next instant, a total of ten streams of Ether Sword Ripples slashed out at ten times the speed of sound. Bringing along a series of sparks, they broke through the river of stars that encompassed him. Fang Xingjian darted out abruptly, arriving at the edge of the arena.
He lowered his body like a cheetah, and the longsword in his hand continued to emit high temperatures. White steam kept rising from his body, as if he had just come out from a steamer.
Hoult touched his cheek, which had just been slashed by a sword, smiled and said, "Although your speed is fast, under the absolute number of Astral Tempest, it's still weak. They exist like air. No matter how fast you are or how agile you are, it's impossible for you to avoid air."
Faced with Hoult's words, Fang Xingjian smiled coldly, "Can air block out sunlight?"
Before Hoult could react, Fang Xingjian's body flashed and disappeared once again.
This time around, he did not dash toward Hoult's body. Instead, he was like a satellite, flying and circling around Hoult within a ten-meter radius.
Simultaneously, as he continued to circle around Hoult at high speed, streams of white sword Qis circled around the longsword in his hand, reflecting streams of light.
Luminous Heaven Soaring Slash was activated! Reflecting sword light and sunlight, the light sword, which had a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, struck Hoult's face.
Hoult let out a stifled snort and retreated a step while covering his face. Clearly, the Astral Tempest was not able to completely insulate him from heat.
He raised his hand, and the outer Astral Tempest had already blocked off the light.
However, how fast was Fang Xingjian's speed? He kept on flashing around Hoult, and the speed at which the light swords arrived was instantaneous. At almost every moment, there would be light swords piercing through the gaps in the Astral Tempest, circling around various parts of Hoult's body to increase the temperature.
Hoult put his palms together, and the endless Astral Tempest wrapped him up into a sphere. It was as if he was a precious pearl that contained the endless universe, emitting starry light.
Looking at this obvious target, Fang Xingjian stopped in his tracks. The clothes on his upper body had already been shredded by the high speed air currents. He casually tore off his tattered Knight attire and looked at the sphere, deep in thought.
He was wondering if he should make use of this opportunity to use Terra Ingurgitation.
He could only use Terra Ingurgitation once in this battle. Of course, he would have to find the best and most fatal opportunity.
Just as he was thinking of this, Hoult's voice rang out in the air, accompanied by the tremors from the sphere.
"Very good. Fang Xingjian, as expected of my greatest opponent in the Regional Selection this time around."
"If it's you, I can finally perform 'Crimson Fire' at full power."
At the next moment, streams of crimson flames extended out from the sphere.
If the sphere formed by the Astral Tempest looked like an egg, then the incessant streams of flames were like something breaking out of the egg.
This was a Killing technique, Serpent of Engulfment, which the Astral Ancestor had specially created for the level 29 Superior Divine Weapon 'Crimson Fire' and the Killing technique, Astral Tempest.
A huge serpent that seemed to be formed from lava darted out from the Astral Tempest egg.
According to the ancient legends, the world had originally been in a state of chaos. When the World Creation Serpent broke out from the chaos, the entire world started to be created.
However, one day, the Serpent of Engulfment would once again engulf the entire world, and the world would welcome its end.
This Killing technique, Serpent of Engulfment, which the Astral Ancestor had created, was clearly based on the legend of world creation.
In the huge egg formed by the Astral Tempest, the huge serpent was born. With the appearance of the huge serpent, the surrounding heat continued to be absorbed by the huge serpent, and its lava-like body grew increasingly brighter and brighter.
This was a huge serpent that continued to absorb heat until everything in the world was destroyed.
It was like the legendary World Creation Serpent of Engulfment, which would eventually engulf the entire world.
Seeing this Killing technique, Serpent of Engulfment, being performed by Hoult, the four examiners present all stood up.
