Losing momentum after one move and being forced to retreat step by step, this was Meng Hong's current situation.
Although Meng Hong was a Body Refiner, and his Body Refinement Godly Avatar was tyrannical, his strength was unparalleled, and his defense was astonishing. However, under the continuous attacks of his opponent, he could only defend. It was difficult for him to organize an effective counterattack. This was because his opponent's whips contained terrifying explosive power. If he didn't use his full strength to defend, being struck by them would cause pain that would penetrate into his bones.
Unknowingly, a trace of undetectable Qi was constantly accumulating in Meng Hong's body. At first, it was very weak and could not be detected at all. Meng Hong did not pay attention to it.
"Explode!" The woman once again lashed out with her whip. Meng Hong's body trembled involuntarily, and he felt as if there was a vile dragon inside of him, wreaking havoc and destruction. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and was once again struck by the whip, both inside and outside of his body.
The body refinement divine image seemed to have been destroyed and quickly disappeared. Meng Hong's strong body fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood which was mixed with pieces of his internal organs. His aura was weak and he was on the verge of death.
The woman landed on the ground and once again lashed out with her whip. She coiled it around Meng Hong's neck and tore it apart. Meng Hong died a violent death.
Everything happened too quickly. Even if the Xuanjian Family wanted to stop it, it was too late.
Moreover, according to the previous agreement of the battle, unless one admitted defeat, the battle would not be over. Even if the people of the Xuanjian Family reacted in time, it would be useless. They could not interfere. Once they did, the battle would be concluded as a failure.
The Prince of the Tianyi County was the witness. Who would dare to violate the rules?
Seeing Meng Hong's death, the people of the Xuanjian Family looked terrible. They were not angry because of Meng Hong's death, but because they had lost the battle.
In fact, Meng Hong was a rogue cultivator without any background. Even if he died, no one would avenge him. At that time, the Xuanjian Family had made it very clear that this battle was dangerous. If they were not careful, they would be killed. Of course, the Xuanjian Family had also paid a great price.
Meng Hong agreed. Now that he was killed, he could only blame it on his bad luck.
"Unfortunately, you lost the second battle. Now, it's time for the third battle." The Heaven Shadow Tower master smiled as he spoke. Immediately, he smiled towards the last feminine looking young man and said, "Ying Que, the final battle will depend on you."
Ying Que did not say anything and only nodded slightly in response. He stepped forward and stepped onto the Dragon Stage. His gaze was fixed on Chen Zong. His gaze contained a faint chilling aura, causing Chen Zong to feel cold for no reason.
"Your Excellency Chen Zong, please do everything you can to win this battle," the Master of the Xuanjian Family said to Chen Zong with a dignified expression. His tone carried a touch of decisiveness.
If they were to lose this battle, the Xuanjian Family would fall from grace.
"I'll try my best," Chen Zong replied seriously.
As for saying that he had a 100% chance of winning, such words were too arrogant. After all, he didn't know how strong his opponent was.
He couldn't underestimate himself, nor could he underestimate anyone.
Holding his sword, Chen Zong stepped onto the Dragon Stage step by step and faced Ying Que.
Everyone from the Xuanjian Family looked solemn. This was the third battle. If they won the first battle and lost the second battle, the third battle would be extremely crucial. It would affect the survival of the Xuanjian Family.
After all, the Xuanjian Stone Mine was the lifeline of the Xuanjian Family. They couldn't afford to lose it.
However, the Heaven Shadow Tower was too strong. If they didn't bet on the battle and continued, both sides would suffer losses. Although the Heaven Shadow Tower could hold on, the Xuanjian Family couldn't.
Chen Zong also knew that this battle was extremely important. It was like the finale. However, Chen Zong didn't feel much pressure. He just needed to do his best. It would be great if he could get a spot for the Sword-cleansing Pool. Even if he couldn't, he could accept it.
Ying Que did not say a word. When Chen Zong walked up to the Dragon Altar, he had already released his Primordial Spirit Dharma Power. His Primordial Spirit Dharma Power was a hundred feet tall and looked like a human figure made of black fog. The aura that it exuded was extremely sinister and had an indescribable sense of mystery.
Immediately, Ying Que's figure flashed and seemed to transform into a black shadow. He silently drifted toward Chen Zong. He seemed to move slowly, but he appeared beside Chen Zong in an instant. A cold light suddenly shot toward him.
Chen Zong didn't move. His Primordial Spirit Dharma Power and Body-Refining Godly Power were activated at the same time. They both became 30 meters tall and he swung his sword to block the cold light. However, another cold light suddenly slashed towards Chen Zong's head from the other side. It was merciless and filled with murderous intent.
Dual sabers!
Ying Que's weapons were actually dual sabers.
Dual sabers or dual swords were often more difficult to use than single sabers or swords. It required more precise control and superb skills. Otherwise, not only would the user fail to use the dual sabers, but he would also hurt himself.
Under normal circumstances, if two blades or two swords were successfully used, it would be more difficult to deal with than a single blade or a single sword. Chen Zong had also used two swords before, but later, his swordsmanship had become even better, and his realm had become even higher, so he had returned to using a single sword.
In Chen Zong's mind, single swords were more useful than dual swords.
The second saber light came from a strange angle. It seemed to be attacking from a blind spot. However, Chen Zong's sword miraculously blocked the saber light. Ying Que was secretly surprised.
It was unexpected that a single sword could block his dual sabers. However, Ying Que wasn't shocked by this. He used his dual saber technique. Each saber was swift, light, and mysterious. Each saber was deadly.
The saber light was hidden in the shadows. It was silent. It was even more mysterious and deadly.
However, no matter how mysterious and deadly Ying Que's dual sabers were, they couldn't hit Chen Zong. They were completely blocked by Chen Zong's sword. They couldn't break through Chen Zong's swordsmanship defense circle.
What Chen Zong used was the Heart Swordsmanship.
The Heart Swordsmanship of the Small Success Realm could sense and control everything around. Even if the opponent's dual sabers were hidden in the shadows, they couldn't hide from him no matter how mysterious they were.
"Two Divine Forms and the Great Path Swordsmanship!" The Master of the Xuanjian Family was slightly delighted. The Master of the Tianyin Tower was also slightly stunned.
"Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement at the same time. He has reached the Dawn Realm and mastered the Great Path Swordsmanship of the Small Success Realm." In the sky, the Commandery Prince of Tianyi couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He was secretly surprised.
Mastering the Great Path Swordsmanship at the Dawn Realm was extraordinary. Mastering the Great Path Swordsmanship of the Small Success Realm was even rarer.
As for Qi Cultivation and Body Refinement at the same time, it was also very amazing.
A genius in the Tao of the Sword!
A top genius of the Way of the Sword!
Fei Jun's expression was extremely solemn. He could feel that Chen Zong's swordsmanship contained amazing power. It was not something that he could compare with.
He had misjudged.
Previously, the Xuanjian Family didn't pay much attention to Chen Zong. After all, Chen Zong was too low-key.
They didn't expect his swordsmanship to be so superb.
Ying Que's saber skills suddenly changed. In the original mystery, there was now an additional amazing power. The degree of fatality of each saber increased sharply.
The Great Path Saber Skill!
Ying Que had also mastered the Great Path Saber Skill. However, in comparison, it was only at the Entry Level. Even so, it was still very amazing.
The Great Path Saber Skill versus the Great Path Swordsmanship.
However, due to the difference in their realms, Ying Que's Great Path Saber Skill couldn't do anything to Chen Zong. Everything seemed to be under Chen Zong's perception and was led by Chen Zong. Ying Que slowly revealed his flaws and fell into a disadvantageous position.
"Great!" The elders of the Xuanjian Family were secretly delighted.
The more outstanding Chen Zong's performance was, the more advantageous he was, because it meant that he could win.
Swish!
In the void, there seemed to be a strange sound, as if something was being cut apart. A flash of saber light instantly cut through the void and slit Chen Zong's neck.
Too fast!
It was too sudden.
There was no sign at all. It was so unexpected that Chen Zong's throat was directly cut by the saber.
Even with the perception of the Mind Swordsmanship, Chen Zong only sensed it at the last moment. He relied on his instincts, which had been tempered by countless life-and-death experiences, to escape.
At his throat, he could clearly feel an extremely cold saber light. It was so cold that several layers of the power of the Nine Mysterious Body Protection Technique were cut open.
If it weren't for Chen Zong's quick reaction, the power of the Nine Mystic Protection Technique would have been completely cut open. Even his throat might have been cut open. That was because not only was the blade extremely strange, but it was also extremely sharp. It directly condensed all the power into a line and silently swept past.
Such an attack was the most suitable to deal with some defensive means.
In fact, that saber was also an Ao Wu. The powerful Ao Wu should be a top tenth-level Ao Wu.
Since his opponent gave him such a dangerous and almost fatal saber attack, Chen Zong certainly had to return the favor.
Lightning Slash!
In an instant, the sword turned into a thunderbolt. The speed of the sword was amazing, and its power was extremely terrifying. It seemed to be able to penetrate everything and sweep away everything in its path.
This sword was not as strange and soundless as Ying Que's blade, but its momentum was astonishing and soul-stirring. When the sword came out, it was like a real bolt of lightning, carrying an incomparably terrifying power as it tore through the air and attacked.
Ying Que suddenly felt his hair stand on end. Before the sword light arrived, he felt as if his body was going to be penetrated. The creepy feeling involuntarily emerged from the depths of his body, and he felt a little numb.
In an instant, Ying Que's body was penetrated, but he turned into a black shadow and quickly retreated, avoiding Chen Zong's sword.
"Your strength really surprises me." Ying Que appeared hundreds of meters away. His eyes became more and more feminine, and there was a trace of indescribable coldness in them.
"Great, it seems that there is a great chance of winning the third battle," the Third Elder said in a low voice, with uncontrollable surprise in his eyes.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, Chen Zong had the upper hand. The possibility of winning was not small, more than 50%.
Once Chen Zong won, the Xuanjian Family would win this battle, and the Xuanjian Family would not lose half of the Xuanjian Stone Mine. Moreover, the Heaven Shadow Tower would not attack the Xuanjian Family in the future. This was also one of the terms of the bet.
"Your strength is more than this. Show me your full strength," Chen Zong said.
Suddenly, many people were shocked.
What did he say?
Let his opponent use his full strength?
Did he not use his full strength in the battle just now?
"Oh, it seems that your perception is very sharp." Ying Que was slightly stunned at first, but then he smiled brightly. The Divine Figure of the Black Fog, which was originally 30 meters tall, rose again in an instant.
