In fact, Ding Ning hoped from the bottom of his heart that Xia Hou could let go of his hatred and bury the hatchet with Xiahou Weiyang.
Seeing that he was finally willing to use Xiahou Weiyang's martial arts inheritance, it also meant that he had gradually let go of his hatred and become good friends and brothers. Ding Ning was very happy about this change.
Chao Lu talked arrogantly, but he was very calm when he was on the stage. He was not in a hurry to make a move. With one hand holding the horse-noose and the other holding the crescent moon scimitar, he kept circling around Xia Hou, trying to find his flaws.
Xia Hou stood with his halberd in his hand. Yue Ting was calm and composed, showing the demeanor of a great master. It seemed that he was full of flaws, but there were traps everywhere, which made Chao Lu a little impatient.
Time ticked by, and the audience below the stage grew anxious. The two of them circled around each other, and there was no point in watching them at all. However, they were reluctant to give up on this rare showdown between experts, so they could only open their eyes wide and wait patiently.
At a certain moment, Xia Hou suddenly moved. The halberd was like a dragon, as fast as lightning, and with an indomitable momentum, the tip of the halberd pierced toward Chao Lu's throat.
Chao Lu was not a person with an undeserved reputation. He was shocked and quickly retreated like the wind. The crescent moon scimitar in his hand drew a wave-like arc of saber light, colliding with the halberd and bursting out sparks.
Clang, clang, clang …
The halberd technique used by Xia Hou was a group killing technique used on the battlefield. The halberd was heavy but powerful, covering a wide area, suitable for medium to long distance attacks.
The scimitar used by Chao Lu was suitable for close combat, but it was extremely difficult to resist a heavy weapon like the Sky Halberd. Soon, he fell into a situation where he could only defend and could not attack. He was forced to retreat continuously and could only hold on bitterly. It seemed that the situation was precarious, and victory or defeat would be decided in an instant.
The audience cheered loudly and firmly believed that Xia Hou would win. They all clamored to kill him, kill him.
Even Ling Yun and the others thought that Xia Hou would win. They all smiled happily, waiting for Xia Hou to kill Chao Lu with one strike of his halberd and win this battle.
Ding Ning frowned, his heart in his throat. The situation on the stage seemed to be one-sided, but in fact it was not.
That Chao Lu seemed to be struggling on the brink of death, but his steps were scattered but not messy, not showing any signs of defeat. Furthermore, the rope in his left hand did not move from beginning to end. This was definitely a strategy to exhaust Xia Hou's strength, waiting for an opportunity to launch a desperate counterattack.
The attack range of a heavy weapon was long, but because of its cumbersome weight, it also consumed a lot of physical strength. Chao Lu had made up his mind to wait for Xia Hou to tire himself out. He was prepared to fight a protracted battle to consume Xia Hou's physical strength. Even if Xia Hou's physique was different from ordinary people after cultivating the Tyrant Scripture, he would be exhausted sooner or later if the stalemate continued for a long time.
However, he believed in Xia Hou. With Xia Hou's rich combat experience, how could he not see through something that even he could see through? But Xiahou's attacks were still swift and fierce, like a storm without a break. Ding Ning did not know whether he did this intentionally or was really blinded by the desire for victory.
They fought back and forth on the stage, creating numerous afterimages. They actually fell into a deadlock, causing the audience below the stage to cheer repeatedly.
Although the previous battle between East Wolf and North Wolf was also very exciting, the process was, after all, too fast. The battle was finished with a crushing move, so it was not interesting at all. It was not as exciting as the battle between Xiahou and Chao Lu, who were evenly matched.
Ding Ning's heart was in his throat, and he was ready to attack at any time. Although it was a duel of life and death, he would not let Xia Hou die in the arena like this. Even if he had to face the wrath of the world and be condemned by thousands of people, he had to ensure Xia Hou's safety.
Because at this moment, Xia Hou's momentum had begun to decline, and his physical strength had begun to decline. The attacks of the Sky Piercer seemed swift and fierce, but in fact, they were imperceptibly slowing down.
In the eyes of outsiders, the attacks seemed to be so fierce, but as the opponent, Chao Lu could feel this subtle change. Instantly, he was delighted and was about to seize the opening to start a counterattack.
But unexpectedly, Xia Hou suddenly retreated and stopped the battle, causing Chao Lu's prepared attack to lose its target. He could not help but be stunned.
"Boring, I'm still not familiar with this halberd technique. It doesn't feel as satisfying as my fists!"
Xia Hou stretched out his hand and threw the Sky Piercer off the arena. The end of the halberd steadily pointed downwards, and with a crack, it actually pierced through the deck and stood upright on the ground.
All of Ding Ning's muscles began to relax, and his heart fell to the ground. He also understood that Xia Hou had previously only treated Chao Lu as a sparring partner and was using him to familiarize himself with the halberd technique he had just learned. Only now did he start to use his true strength.
Chao Lu's face was gloomy, and with a cold snort, he said mockingly, "You can't even defeat me with a weapon. Now that you don't have much physical strength left, how long can you last? You still want to defeat me with your bare hands? You must be dreaming. "
"No, no, no, you're wrong. I indeed don't have much physical strength left, and I can't last much longer."
A strange smile appeared on Xia Hou's face. "But if I want to defeat you, I only need to use one punch. Why do I need to exhaust my physical strength?"
"Hahaha, what a joke. Defeat me with one punch? You're not daydreaming, are you? "
Chao Lu laughed out of extreme anger and mocked loudly.
"What a joke. You can't even defeat him with a weapon, and you want to defeat Lord Chao Lu with one punch? What a joke."
"I think he doesn't use his fist to defeat the enemy, but his mouth to blow the enemy to death."
"I thought that the Qingyun Security were all powerful people. I didn't expect that there would be someone even more powerful. But this guy's strength is just boasting."
"Lord Chao Lu, kill him. What is he so arrogant for? He only knows how to boast."
"I'd like to see how he can kill Chao Lu with one punch. If he can really do it, I'll eat this bench leg raw."
…
The people in the Seventh Lord's Mansion immediately began to discuss. All kinds of sarcasm and disdain swarmed up.
But it made everyone fall into a strange silence. Although most people thought that Xia Hou was boasting, the powerful strength that the Qingyun Security showed today made them feel deeply afraid. They didn't dare to express their opinions casually, lest they slapped their own faces.
"Then I'll show you what a bull fist is."
Xia Hou said calmly. As if he was doing Tai Chi, he slowly raised his hand and slowly punched out.
"Hahaha, so slow. Is he doing Tai Chi?"
"This is too funny. Is this guy a clown? Is he trying to be funny? "
"Not to mention Lord Chao Lu, even I would be able to easily dodge that punch."
"Bull fist, it's really awesome. I think it's a snail fist, right?"
…
The Seventh Lord's Mansion roared with laughter. They shouted and ridiculed loudly. Even the Seventh Lord, who had a straight face, couldn't help but laugh.
Although the others didn't want to slap their own faces, they couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake their heads when they saw Xia Hou's slow punch. They whispered in disappointment. It seemed that they had too much confidence in the Qingyun Security. Even a child could dodge this kind of punch, let alone a great grandmaster like Chao Lu.
However, the smiles on everyone's faces froze. The sounds of ridicule became softer and softer until it was so silent that even a pin drop could be heard.
It wasn't that they saw that Xia Hou's punch was extraordinary, but the horrified expression on Chao Lu's face made them realize that this punch wasn't simple.
Ordinary people couldn't see it, but the martial artists with high cultivation could clearly feel that there seemed to be a violent fluctuation in the Qi of Heaven and Earth. The surrounding air seemed to have become viscous.
"The outcome has been decided. Xia Hou won!"
Ding Ning said with a relaxed expression, as if he was a prophet who could predict the future.
Some people in the crowd didn't understand, but those who had cultivated the Tyrant Scripture all nodded their heads and agreed with Ding Ning's deduction.
What a joke. They had personally experienced the power of the Tyrant Scripture. It was a fist technique that went against the natural order and broke the shackles of heaven and earth.
The highest they had cultivated was the third punch. However, they knew better than anyone how powerful this fist technique that could instantly explode the power of every cell in the body was, not to mention Xia Hou, who had already cultivated the fourth punch to perfection.
Chao Lu was scared out of his wits. Although he ridiculed Xia Hou, he didn't let down his guard. After all, he was very clear that when one reached the realm of a great grandmaster, no one would boast in front of everyone. If they couldn't do what they said, wouldn't they be laughed at by the world?
He had absolute confidence that even if Xia Hou had a trump card, he wouldn't be able to kill him with one punch. Therefore, he had been watching coldly from the sidelines and wanted to receive this punch openly.
He believed that as long as he could receive this punch that Xia Hou regarded as his trump card, there would be no suspense in the outcome. The five million promised by Duke Seven would be in his hands. This made his heart burn with passion, and he lost the chance to stop Xia Hou from punching him.
With one punch, the world changed. The terrifying Qi of Heaven and Earth actually made the surrounding air extremely viscous, making him feel as if he had fallen into a swamp. Even the movement of swinging his saber to block the punch was extremely slow.
He wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but the speed at which he opened his mouth to speak was as slow as the river of time. On the contrary, Xia Hou's slow punch was as fast as a meteor in his eyes, constantly becoming bigger and bigger and bigger in his field of vision …
Xia Hou seemed to be venting his accumulated anger, but he also seemed to be unable to completely control his own power. This punch seemed to be extremely slow, but it was actually extremely fast. This punch landed squarely on Chao Lu's forehead.
Bang!
Chao Lu's head exploded like a rotten watermelon. Red, white, and black matter flowed all over the ground. Only a headless corpse remained standing. After a long time, under the shocked gazes of the audience, it fell to the ground with a thud.
This punch suddenly bloomed like the most gorgeous fireworks, releasing the most primitive, barbaric, and violent beauty of mechanics. Even the disgusting headless corpse made people lose the desire to vomit, and they were immersed in the charm of that punch.
Xia Hou's body swayed, and he staggered. He fell backward with a helpless and bitter smile on his face.
This punch was indeed amazing, but the punch that instantly erupted with all the power in his body would also drain all the strength in his body at the same time, causing him to lose all his strength. At this moment, he was so weak that even an eight-year-old child could easily kill him.
Therefore, this kind of punch could only be used as a trump card in a desperate situation where he was forced into a dead end. Otherwise, he would only be at the mercy of others.
This was the arena. With his young master and Green Cloud Security here, he didn't need to leave any way out for himself. Therefore, he wanted to use this punch. For this reason, he gave up any other methods to kill Chao Lu, just to test how powerful this punch was.
The result made him very satisfied. It was really powerful. If an expert in the God Martial Arts Realm didn't dodge, this punch was enough to kill him.
A residual shadow flashed like a ghost, and Xia Hou had disappeared from the arena. When the audience looked over in horror, they found that Xia Hou had appeared in the seats of Green Cloud Security, sitting next to a young man wearing a cap and sunglasses.
Xia Hou's back was still straight, and his pale face turned ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the person who had lost all his strength just now was not him but someone else.
Murong Yixiao opened his mouth wide, tilted his head, and looked at his side with dull eyes. Those who didn't know what was going on might think that he was looking at Xia Hou, but only a few people knew that he was looking at Ding Ning.
