There was a hubbub of voices in the arena.
There were very few matches today, but the people who appeared in every match were very strong. Other than the main event, Yi Yun and Li Hong's match, there was also Chu Xiaoran's challenge to a veteran cultivator ranked 2000 on the Earth roll.
"Oh? Yi Yun and Li Hong aren't here yet? "
The moment people came up, they looked for traces of Yi Yun and Li Hong. However, no matter how they looked, they could not find them.
"The two's match is scheduled before noon. There is no need to fight immediately. They are probably still cultivating or meditating at this time."
It was unknown who said this, but everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this.
Every second counted, especially Li Hong. He was a ruthless person ranked just above 1000, yet he was so serious about a rookie's challenge.
Today's matches began. It began with a few rookies ranked 5000-6000 on the Earth roll fighting each other. Even the fourth ranked rookie, Gu Mu, appeared. However, no one had much interest in these battles.
Only when Chu Xiaoran went up did people perk up.
Chu Xiaoran's opponent was a veteran cultivator who had stayed in the Tai Ah Divine City for four years. Chu Xiaoran did not hold back. At the beginning of the battle, she conjured her Aspect Totem and used her frost ice concept.
As the two fought, ice and snow flew everywhere. The scene was extremely intense!
Finally, Chu Xiaoran used her "Azure Ice Sea, Momentary Beauty" move to defeat her opponent.
But after Chu Xiaoran defeated her opponent, she had expended a lot of energy. It could be said that it was a difficult victory.
Chu Xiaoran had entered the top 2000 on the Earth roll!
However, everyone could see that Chu Xiaoran had barely managed to win this match.
She still had one more match to fight, but she would at most stop at 1900. It was impossible for her to go any further.
Chu Xiaoran, who was about the same as Yi Yun, had stopped at 1900. But Yi Yun wanted to challenge Li Hong, who was ranked 1000. This was crazy!
"Oh? Yi Yun! Yi Yun is here! "
Someone in the crowd shouted. Everyone looked over. At the entrance of the arena, a youth in linen clothes was walking over. He walked straight to his seat and sat down. He closed his eyes and began meditating!
People could not help but admire Yi Yun for being so calm and composed in the face of such a high-stakes battle.
"Yi Yun!"
Seeing Yi Yun so calm, Chu Xiaoran's eyebrows twitched. "Could it be that he was still holding back in his battle with me?"
Chu Xiaoran was also paying close attention to this battle. She wanted to see how strong the number one rookie, Yi Yun, was.
Time passed, but Li Hong did not appear. It was not until noon, just before the start of the match, that Li Hong appeared at the entrance of the arena, carrying a long staff on his back.
He strode into the arena. Every step he took seemed to be measured by a ruler. As he walked, his aura seemed to be gradually rising.
Seeing the current Li Hong, everyone felt that Li Hong was somewhat different.
Although most of the people present hadn't opened their Sky Eyes yet, they could still sense Li Hong's aura. It was as heavy as a towering mountain. Moreover, his aura was overbearing!
Li Hong did not say a word as he walked straight up the Divine Wilderness Stage. He did not even wait for the referee to call his name.
"Yi Yun! Come up!! "
Li Hong's roar shook the entire arena. The sound of this short sentence was like a clap of thunder!
The cultivators in the arena held their breaths. This aura was too strong! Facing such a person on the stage required a lot of courage. It required a lot of courage.
People guessed that Li Hong had made a breakthrough in some aspect by appearing so late.
This made many people break into a sweat for Yi Yun. Li Hong was originally very strong, so if he had underestimated his opponent, Yi Yun might have had a chance of winning.
But Li Hong had been training hard all night, so he was clearly going all out.
If he really had another breakthrough, it would be terrible. This battle involved a huge bet. If they were in Yi Yun's position, they would definitely be nervous to death.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yi Yun. At this moment, there was no need for the referee to announce it. Yi Yun and Li Hong were about to begin fighting!
Yi Yun walked up the Divine Wilderness Stage. He drew his Thousand Army Saber and pointed it at the ground.
The two of them stood thirty meters apart.
Li Hong took out a long staff. It was six feet long and it was parallel to the ground. The two ends of the staff had golden hoops made of Tai Cang Iron essence. On the golden hoops, there were half an inch long spikes!
Do not think that a metal staff's attack power was weaker than other weapons. This metal staff depended on the person using it. When Li Hong used it, he just needed to shake the metal staff. Just the vibrations that came from it could injure a person. If the staff were to be smacked down, it could break a person's bones!
"Yi Yun, I know you are very strong, and you even have some hidden strength! But today, no matter what hidden trump card you have, it will be useless in front of me! "
As Li Hong said that, his fighting spirit surged. An earthy yellow glow enveloped Li Hong's body!
"I have experienced a year of killing in the Divine wilderness desolate plains. I do not know how many desolate beasts have died under my hands! You are just a miscellaneous chores disciple. You have picked herbs a few times and have not experienced many battles. Do you think you can be my opponent? Today, I will let you know why I am able to stand in the top 1000 of the Earth roll! "
Li Hong roared. The earthy yellow glow around his body formed tiny scales that covered Li Hong's body.
"Heaven Opening Technique!"
Someone shouted from the audience stands.
In the Tai Ah Divine City, other than the Tai Ah Sacred Technique, which was undoubtedly the top cultivation technique, there were other powerful high-grade cultivation techniques that were inferior to the Tai Ah Sacred Technique.
The Heaven Opening Technique was one of the top three cultivation techniques in the Tai Ah Divine City. To cultivate the Heaven Opening Technique, one had to cultivate "Heaven Opening Real Qi".
Many geniuses who could not exchange for the Tai Ah Sacred Technique would try to cultivate the Heaven Opening Technique, but they would fail in condensing "Heaven Opening Real Qi".
This cultivation technique was also very difficult to cultivate.
"'Heaven Opening Real Qi' protects the body. Li Hong's Heaven Opening Technique has already reached the second stage."
The tiny scales on Li Hong's body were condensed from "Heaven Opening Real Qi". This was similar to Qiuniu's armor for defense, but it was weightless, allowing Li Hong to move freely.
With the staff in hand, Li Hong's pupils suddenly constricted and his body exploded!
"Phew"
Li Hong transformed into a gust of wind and instantly appeared in front of Yi Yun. The staff in his hand smashed down heavily!
Because of his extreme speed, Li Hong's staff had turned into an arc as it lashed at Yi Yun like a whip!
Minute Subtlety!
Yi Yun's body flew backwards. With a flash of his body, more than ten afterimages appeared. Li Hong's staff smashed down on Yi Yun's chest.
"Dang!"
Yi Yun's afterimages shattered as his long staff slammed heavily into the stage. The purple tungsten tiles were heavily dented by Li Hong's long staff. At this moment, Yi Yun had already appeared behind Li Hong. The Thousand Army Saber whistled out and slashed down!
Li Hong's expression changed, but he did not dodge. The earthy yellow scales on his back suddenly expanded and turned into a huge shield!
"Cha!"
Yi Yun's saber slashed onto Li Hong's shield. The blade cut into the shield and was quickly stuck. It could not go any further!
"Oh? This is!? "
Yi Yun was alarmed. Originally, there was nothing behind Li Hong, but in a hundredth of a blink of an eye, a large shield had condensed out of thin air to block his saber.
Not only that, the shield was extremely dense and had a compressive force. It had stuck the Thousand Army Saber, making Yi Yun feel like he could not pull it out. It was like when Qiuniu had grabbed his saber!
"Die!"
Li Hong suddenly turned around and swept his staff towards Yi Yun's waist. At this moment, the Thousand Army Saber was still stuck on the shield!
If the staff hit its mark, a typical Purple Blood warrior would be split into two!
"Saber Intent Pressing Forward!"
Yi Yun's eyes flashed as he injected his Yuan Qi into the Thousand Army Saber. With a whistling sound, the Thousand Army Saber was forcefully pulled out of the shield. Yi Yun retreated and at the same time, he bent his body backwards. His spine was like a bow, and his waist was like a bridge. Li Hong's rod just brushed past Yi Yun's nose!
Yi Yun could even feel the pain of the staff breaking through his protective Yuan Qi.
"Sou!"
Yi Yun leaped up and retreated a hundred feet, opening up a distance between him and Li Hong.
At the same time, the shield on Li Hong's back slowly retracted, turning into tiny scales that covered Li Hong's entire body once again.
Li Hong grinned at Yi Yun, "You dodged pretty fast!"
"This cultivation technique …" Yi Yun was really surprised. It allowed him to use Yuan Qi at will. It could transform any part of his body into a shield to block an enemy's attack.
Was this the "Heaven Opening Real Qi"?
Indeed, the top few cultivation techniques in the Tai Ah Divine City were not weak. The "Heaven Opening Technique" had its mysteries. It was a top cultivation technique in the Tai Ah Divine City. It was much stronger than the Liu family's "Star Picking Hand"!
"Yi Yun, your attack just now could not even break through a fifth of my defense! Your saber could cut through Qiuniu's armor, but my defense is on a completely different level from Qiuniu's. You are dreaming if you want to cut through my defense! I know you have more powerful saber moves. Use them or you won't have another chance. "
Li Hong's momentum was overwhelming.
His body's earthen-yellow Qi began to surge.
"This defense is sick."
In the audience stands, the rookies held their breaths. Qiuniu's fighting style was already amazing to them, but compared to Li Hong, it was far inferior.
Qiuniu used his armor to defend, while Li Hong used a top cultivation technique. This type of defense was already differentiated.
Not only that, Li Hong was just short of breaking through to the Yuan foundation realm. His total amount of Yuan Qi was not something Qiuniu could compare with.
