CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 426 SWORDSMAN DUEL

What does cutting off limbs amount to?

Some Martial Artists, when dealing with their enemies, would not even balk at drinking liquor with brain pulp.

As the conversation between the two continued, the next battle on the central Battle Platform was about to commence.

The opponents were Ao Wushuang and Huo Ling.

Huo Ling had previously been injured and immediately after stepping down, he took some top-quality Healing Pills. Although he hadn’t recovered to his peak condition, he had recovered 99% of his strength.

"Huo Ling, you have disappointed me!"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Ao Wushuang shook his head and said, "You’ve been defeated by Ninth Princess and Lin Feng in succession, losing two matches, and it’s now nearly impossible for you to make it into the top three!"

Gazing at Huo Ling across from him, Ao Wushuang mentally shook his head, the sharpness that Huo Ling possessed before the competition had completely disappeared.

Yet now, after two defeats, Huo Ling’s mental state had been utterly shattered; the imposing aura he once carried had disappeared completely.

Do not underestimate this kind of aura; those who possess it often advance bravely and are invincible.

This is the heart of a super-genius in Martial Arts, and one could say that Huo Ling’s martial heart is now broken, invisibly lowering his strength by a notch.

"Ao Wushuang, let’s see how much you have progressed!"

Huo Ling frowned upon hearing Ao Wushuang’s words, and spoke.

"More than you can handle!"

Ao Wushuang proudly smiled, then extended his right hand which had been behind his back.

Ao Wushuang kept his left hand behind him and stretched out his right hand.

"Huo Ling, I’ll use half of my strength, hoping you can withstand a move!"

Ao Wushuang said indifferently.

His words were extremely arrogant, implying that even using only half of his strength, Huo Ling might not be able to handle even one of his moves.

However, among the hundreds of thousands at the Ancient Martial Arena, no one thought Ao Wushuang was being arrogant.

Even among his peers in the entire Great Thousand Domain, no young person could rival Ao Wushuang, not to mention that Ao Wushuang had now stepped into the Fifth Layer of the True Spirit Realm, a realm higher than Huo Ling.

"Make your move!"

Huo Ling, with a solemn face, nodded and immediately drew his longsword, his aura wildly surging as he instantly brought his Spiritual essence to its peak; flames burned around him and waves of fire surged.

Ao Wushuang’s broad palm slowly clenched into a fist, without any fancy movements, and he threw a straight punch.

"Emperor’s Divine Fist—Fist Settles the Mountains!"

A tremendous punch power, dominantly unstoppable, blasted the air within a hundred meters radius, and the Punch Radiance flashed instantly in front of Huo Ling.

"Open!"

Huo Ling roared, gripping his sword with both hands, mobilizing all his True Yuan, and fiercely slashing out.

Boom!

The longsword hit the punch, causing a shocking explosion that vibrated the heavens and the earth, sending Huo Ling instantly shooting backwards.

With one punch, Huo Ling was blown away, flying off the Battle Platform, over a dozen li, and landing below the viewing platform.

Everyone couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

So strong!

With just half his strength, one punch was enough to blow Huo Ling away several li!

This level of strength far surpassed Huo Ling by a lot!

"Ao Wushuang is truly powerful, with such immense strength, it’s practically impossible for anyone to challenge his status!"

"Among those of the same cultivation, Ao Wushuang is an invincible existence, and now that Ao Wushuang has reached a higher realm than others, he can easily crush them all!"

"Such terrifying strength could even defeat a warrior at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the True Spirit Realm!"

People were shocked, countless were awed by Ao Wushuang’s strength, even some older generation Heavenly Martial Masters couldn’t help but secretly sigh that they weren’t even close to a third of his power at his age.

Wu Sheng, Mo Yue, Ninth Princess, and a few other geniuses eager to challenge Ao Wushuang, now had somewhat frozen expressions.

This level of strength gave them a feeling of helplessness.

Even Ninth Princess, who had a little confidence previously, couldn’t help but shake her head secretly.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes into slits.

Strong!

So strong!

Undoubtedly, Ao Wushuang was the most powerful among the young generation Lin Feng had seen, second to none.

Of course, this only includes the Great Thousand Domain and not Shangguan Hao.

If not using the Demon Dragon Star and Silent Annihilation Sword Qi, Lin Feng felt he definitely was not Ao Wushuang’s opponent.

Even if he used the Demon Dragon Star and Silent Annihilation Sword Qi, Lin Feng wasn’t very confident!

He had never tried the power of Silent Annihilation Sword Qi, and he, too, was uncertain about its actual power.

On the Battle Platform, Ao Wushuang stood proudly, like a true Emperor, an ancient king, looking towards Huo Ling from afar.

"Huo Ling, now you should see the gap, right?" Ao Wushuang haughtily declared.

Huo Ling’s complexion turned somber, and he fell silent.

After a moment, Huo Ling dazedly nodded; the gap between them was indeed like a chasm.

Having devoured part of Huo Ling’s Dragon Fortune, Ao Wushuang’s Dragon Fortune reached ninety-three and a half zhang.

Ao Wushuang’s expression grew a bit solemn, considering the pace of increase, it might be hard to reach a hundred zhang by the end of the competition.

However, thinking about the final few rounds of battles where everyone had to face the remaining nine people, he still had seven people to fight; after devouring part of those seven people’s Dragon Fortune, it wasn’t impossible to reach a hundred zhang.

Huo Ling’s Dragon Fortune was smaller compared to others, so he devoured less.

People like Wu Sheng and Mo Yue had extremely strong Dragon Fortune, and he would be able to devour much more Dragon Fortune from them.
