Space froze. Lu An, the spear, the rock, Li Gong, and even Li Gong's wound and the blood that was spurting out were all stopped.
This frozen scene was clearly seen by everyone in the sky. Everyone could clearly see that the tip of the spear in Lu An's hand had already sunk an inch into Li Gong's neck. Moreover, if it was not stopped, the forward thrust would be unstoppable. This spear would definitely pierce through Li Gong's neck.
At that time, Lu An, who had pierced through Li Gong, would be able to do whatever he wanted. A pierced spear would not only be fatal, it would also severely restrict Li Gong's movements. He would definitely not be able to escape. Even if Lu An did not attack after piercing through Li Gong's neck and instead used space to teleport away, Li Gong's wounds would not be able to heal by himself. He would definitely die.
In other words, Li Gong would definitely lose.
Everything stopped abruptly, but Lu An's blood was not controlled. He immediately retreated from the Realm of the Demon Gods. In an instant, everything around him could be moved. Lu An's body quickly retreated 30 meters. He took a deep breath to control the blood in his body and tried his best to recover his energy.
"Ha … Ha …"
Lu An was panting heavily. In reality, the entire exchange was very fast. It did not take more than 20 moves. Even so, Lu An's energy had been depleted by more than 20%. It was a huge burden on his muscles.
However, Lu An still won. The Fu Clan's heavenly water energy quickly flowed into Li Gong's neck wound and healed his wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was not that the Fu Clan was being nosy. It was mainly because the Heaven Breaker Jin Li Clan's healing abilities were really weak. They were all from the Hachiko clan, and the Fu Clan was also the number one clan. If they could help, they would definitely help.
Fortunately, the injury had only been sustained for a short period of time. It did not have time to cause too much damage to Li Gong's blood and body. After Li Gong's wounds healed, he took a few deep breaths. After all, the feeling of suffocation was too unbearable.
Following which, he bowed towards the Fu Clan's Heavenly King Stage expert in the sky and said, "Thank you, senior."
The Heavenly King from the Fu Clan didn't say anything and only nodded his head. Then, Li Gong looked at Lu An and saw that his gaze was very complicated. However, he was not someone who would not admit defeat. He cupped his hands and said solemnly, "I have lost. Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Lu."
"Thank you for letting me win." Lu An cupped his hands in return.
Li Gong flew into the sky, and everyone in the sky watched this scene. Most of them frowned, because the result was very different from what they had imagined.
They had thought that Lu An would win, but they didn't think that Lu An's chances of winning were high. Even if Lu An had won, it should have been a pyrrhic victory. He should have used up a lot of time and not won so quickly.
It was too fast.
Out of the four matches between Lu An and the three clans, this was the match that ended the fastest. From beginning to end, not only was the duration extremely short, even the moves were clearly countable. Furthermore, Lu An did not expend much strength. Other than his toes, he was not injured at all. How could the Li Clan, which everyone thought would be able to counter Lu An in close combat, lose so quickly?
Li Gong flew back to the Li Clan in the sky and cupped his hands towards the clan leader. "Clan Leader."
Li Gong lowered his head, completely ashamed to face the clan leader.
The clan leader didn't say much. He only asked Li Gong to return to the group and prepare to watch the next match.
Was Li Gong's ability only so little?
Of course not. The Li Clan had many powerful secret techniques. In fact, Li Gong had also prepared many secret techniques to use. However, everything ended too quickly. He didn't expect that he would be defeated in the first round of close combat. However … Li Gong wasn't upset, because he knew that his loss wasn't unjustified.
This match was purely a loss in terms of spear, and Li Gong had lost in a way that he couldn't refute.
Many Heavenly King experts looked at Lu An on the ground. This battle made them realize that Lu An was definitely not someone who only knew how to use a dagger.
Close combat and long-range combat were two completely different types of battles. It could even be described as' different professions are like different mountains. ' In long-range combat, there was still a lot of room and space to make up for the disadvantage of a single move. It was even very difficult to make an impact. However, in close combat, a single mistake could very likely put one at a fatal disadvantage, or even lose on the spot. Because of this, unless one was extremely confident in close combat, or if one's attribute power was only suitable for close combat, most people would choose long-range combat.
Lu An was good at using daggers, and daggers were the most dangerous weapons of all, especially for the person who used them. They required extreme control and reaction speed. This was because there was no room for mistakes when controlling a dagger. The consequences of a mistake were more serious than any other weapon. It was like licking blood from the tip of a blade. It was also because of this that Lu An's control of power was extremely strong. Even if he was using a spear, and it was a spear formed from True Breaking Gold that he had never used before, he could still adapt quickly.
His extremely fine control of the spear was completely demonstrated by the pause after the horizontal slash across the neck. This precise stop was something that even Li Gong definitely couldn't do.
Starting from the soft True Breaking Gold made the people who were about to enter the arena feel very heavy. Whether it was the neck or the important joints, it was indeed impossible to use the strongest state of the True Breaking Gold. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to imprisoning the entire body, and it would be impossible to attack at all.
This battle didn't even cause much change to the terrain. Thousands of people in the air were watching Lu An, waiting for Lu An to recover his strength. However, Lu An wasn't anxious or impatient. While using the Heaven Returning Technique to heal his injuries and relieve the burden on his body, he also released the power of darkness to speed up the absorption of power. Finally, after a period of time, he recovered his energy and looked up at the sky again.
During this process, Lu An placed the spear on the rock, inserting it a foot into the rock to maintain stability. After it was over, Lu An pulled the spear out of the rock again and held it in his hand.
Seeing this scene, the people in the air were shocked.
It was obvious that Lu An wanted to continue using this spear. And from the result of the battle between Li Gong and Lu An, it was purely to give Lu An a weapon.
Seeing that Lu An had completely recovered, Li Jue Xing, the head of the Li Clan, opened his mouth and said to the people behind him, "You guys go up."
"Yes, Clan Head!"
After a shout, figures quickly descended from the sky. Everyone's strength was about the same as Li Gong's, and they quickly landed ten thousand feet in front of Lu An!
Boom!!
A total of four people!
When the four people landed on the ground, there was a deafening roar. Even the very hard ground here shook, enough to show how strong they were.
Lu An held the spear in his hand and looked at the four people in the distance. Although his eyes were calm and he could maintain his usual state of mind, he still had a heavy pressure.
Only Lu An knew that the battle with Li Gong just now wasn't easy, and it was far from as simple as it looked. On the contrary, Li Gong already gave him a lot of pressure in close combat.
Suddenly there were four people, and Lu An's aura became more restrained. To be honest, if these four people's close combat strength was like Li Gong's, and they attacked him at the same time, even Lu An didn't have much confidence in blocking, let alone winning.
Lu An knew that he was not invincible, even in close combat. His right hand holding the spear tightened, and his eyes became darker.
"I'm Li Cheng, please enlighten me!"
"I'm Li Wang, please enlighten me!"
"I'm Li Zhu, please enlighten me!"
"I'm Li Zhen, please enlighten me!"
The four people all had single names, and what was different from every previous battle was that Lu An met a woman for the first time.
Li Zhen, who reported her name last, was a woman with a young appearance. Of course, sixth level Heaven Masters and above could keep their youth forever, so this didn't represent Li Zhen's age. However, in reality, although Li Zhen was much older than Lu An, in terms of the lifespan of a Heaven Tier cultivator of two thousand years, she was actually still very young. She was only equivalent to an ordinary human who was not even twenty years old.
Lu An looked at Li Zhen, and after thinking for a while, he looked at the others. He had hesitated for a moment just now, but this was a sparring match, and one that simulated a battle of life and death. If Li Zhen had been treated as a member of the Spirit Race, Lu An would not have held back at all, so it was the same in this battle.
Lu An held the spear, put his left hand in front of his right hand, and said, "Please enlighten me!"
