As the supreme layer of immortal Qi was removed, the Celestial Realm cultivators above the spatial formation could also see Lu An's situation. The moment they saw Lu An, everyone took a deep breath, and their gazes became even heavier.
Strong!
Lu An's long-range attack ability was very strong!
All along, Lu An's close-combat ability had been widely rumored, and Lu An's long-range ability was rarely heard of. However, the exchange and counterattack just now had undoubtedly displayed Lu An's long-range ability clearly. Every flame hit the seven-colored halo, and it was right in the middle of the halo. There was no deviation at all, and there was no miss at all. However many seven-colored halos there were, Lu An released the same amount of flames, not one more, not one less.
Lu An's powerful long-range control ability and analytical ability made everyone see him in a new light.
In fact, Lu An was indeed good at long-range combat. One had to know that close-combat required far more reaction speed, movement techniques, and adaptability than long-range combat. Lu An was not like most close-combat Heavenly Masters who did not have long-range combat attributes. He was very good at long-range combat, and his level was not inferior to close-combat at all.
However, Lu An had always fought with people who were stronger than him. Long-range combat was too limited, and it was more of a competition of realms. There were too few opportunities under the suppression of strength, so he could only win through close-combat. Moreover, even if they fought with people of the same realm, close-combat could save a lot of energy. Long-range combat might consume a lot of energy, but close-combat was very likely to kill the enemy within a few moves. Why not?
On the plains, other than the rumbling sounds coming from the spatial formation, the crowd did not make any sound. Everyone was focused on the formation. Compared to the guidance just now, this was the battle they were really looking forward to.
Inside the spatial formation, at the edge of the sky …
Under the protection of the Supreme Immortal Robe, Qing frowned slightly. He frowned not because of the pressure Lu An gave him, but because of the environment inside the spatial formation.
Hot!
As the flames increased and lasted longer, the temperature inside the spatial formation became hotter and hotter. Lu An seemed to have steeled his heart to only use flames. If he continued to use such long-range attacks, the flames in the entire spatial array would increase. Currently, it was only reaching an average height of five hundred feet. If it continued to expand, it might exceed a hundred feet, or even several hundred feet, or even close to a thousand feet. The flames would reduce the space within the array formation. After all, he did not want to enter the flames to fight. As for Lu An, who possessed the supreme Immortal Qi, it didn't matter even if he fought within the Immortal Qi.
It was difficult.
Qing knew from the beginning that this battle would be very difficult, and the current situation also proved this point. He had to change the current situation before he used up too much energy and was not injured.
Hence …
Boom!
Qing's figure moved in an instant and dove straight down!
Qing's figure immediately streaked across the sky like a seven-colored ray of light. The two of them were more than 15,000 feet apart, but even such a distance was not far for a Celestial Being. In fact, it was very close!
Seeing this scene, all the Celestial Realm cultivators in the world were shocked!
Close combat?
Qing actually chose to fight close combat?
As they couldn't feel the temperature inside the spatial formation, Qing's choice shocked most of the humans and beasts in the world. After all, it was obvious that he wanted to fight in the way that Lu An was best at. The most basic point of a battle was to avoid the enemy's advantage and attack the enemy's weakness. This was a principle that all ordinary people knew. How could Qing make such a mistake?
Within the formation, Lu An looked up, and a pair of dark eyes clearly looked at Qing. To him, it was a rare blessing to be able to see his opponent's every move so clearly during a battle.
Boom!
Qing did not charge directly at Lu An. Instead, he charged heavily at a spot a few hundred feet to the left of Lu An. Qing's hands and feet touched the ground one after another. His body rotated forcefully, and after retaining a large amount of momentum, he charged at Lu An!
Lu An's dark eyes moved slightly. Just this move alone was something that not many people present could do. Qing's strength was indeed very strong.
Qing's speed was extremely fast, sticking close to the ground as he charged towards Lu An! With such speed, a distance of a few hundred feet was simply too short. In a flash, Qing reached a position of 10 feet in front of Lu An.
Weng!
A long sword appeared, releasing an ear-piercing sound. From a distance of 10 feet, Qing thrusted out his sword. Ten sword flowers appeared, forming into ten sword qi. They charged towards Lu An's body and his surroundings!
Five sword qi charged towards Lu An's surroundings. Five sword qi went straight for Lu An's head, chest, dantian and shoulders. Obviously, it wanted to seal off Lu An's ability to dodge, forcing Lu An to receive it head-on. In reality, there were indeed gaps in these attacks that allowed Lu An to pass through. Lu An would definitely be able to do so. But if Lu An really did so, after passing through the sword qi, his body's posture would become very abnormal. Many openings would appear, giving Qing a huge opportunity to break through!
This, was also the trap of the sword qi.
Not only that, the most important purpose of releasing this move 10 feet in advance was to make Lu An move!
Attacks would have openings. Although the momentum was great, it also meant that the inertia was great. While Lu An stood in his original position, because of his defence, it was difficult to discover any openings. Furthermore, he did not have any momentum, nor any inertia. Qing had studied a lot of information on Lu An's battles. Many people were at a disadvantage from the start, because Lu An used his defence to find the opponent's openings and then attacked. Therefore, he had to make Lu An move before he got close. This way, both sides would have inertia, and his momentum would be meaningful.
As expected, Lu An moved in the face of the ten streaks of Sword Qi.
But Lu An did not act as Qing imagined. The moment the ten sword qi appeared, Lu An also raised both his arms. Swinging his arms, two dagger-sized icicles shot out, directly towards two of the sword qi!
Peng!
Peng!
Three feet in front of Lu An, the two icicles collided with the two sword qi. Instantly, the icicles and sword qi exploded. These two sword qi were not the same as the five sword qi that hit Lu An's body. Instead, one attacked Lu An's right shoulder, and the other was at the bottom right of the sword qi.
Following that, Lu An chose to move to the right. After using the icicles to destroy the two sword qi, he still maintained a perfect forward posture, and was not affected too much. Even when he moved to the right, he also avoided Qing's straight forward momentum.
Seeing Lu An so easily neutralized his attack, Qing's eyes turned cold. But the distance of one step to the right was not enough to avoid the sword. Lu An was still within his attack range.
Whoosh!
The distance between the two was reduced to 10 feet in an instant!
The people outside the spatial array formation were all shocked when they saw this scene. They focused their attention on this scene!
Next, was Lu An's strongest moment!
There were many people in the air who had fought with Lu An before, and Wang Yangcheng was one of them. Because he was strong enough, the movements of the two were very slow in his eyes. This allowed him to think about how he would react the moment Qing attacked. Then, he compared his reaction with Lu An's and learned something from it.
In the formation, the flames around Qing were blown away by his powerful momentum and the supreme immortal energy that he released. Qing immediately swung his sword to the left and stabbed towards Lu An's side ribs!
That's right, Qing did not attack Lu An's vital points. It was not that Qing did not want to, nor was it that Qing was soft-hearted. It was because he knew that it was meaningless to do so.
It was easy to avoid the vital points. Before he established his advantage, he would not waste his energy.
When he stabbed out, the sword was covered with seven-colored light. It was obvious that it was a close-combat immortal art. Its power was definitely not something that the icicles could withstand. But the problem was that Lu An did not have a weapon now. The two real gold daggers given to him by Fu Yu were blown away by the self-explosion of the Spirit Race people in the second battle. He could not stay on the battlefield for long, so he did not pick them up. This meant that he did not have a weapon to use now … In fact, Lu An had never thought of using a weapon that did not belong to him.
When fighting with Qing, who was at the same level as him, he had to find some difficulties and restrictions for himself.
After swinging out two icicles, Lu An immediately formed two icicles in his hands. Facing this sword, Lu An moved to the right to dodge it. At the same time, the icicles in his left hand quickly swung towards the long sword and accurately hit the tip of the long sword!
Bang!
The Frost Dagger exploded with a bang!
But at the same time, the tip of the sword was forced to change its direction because of the icicles!
