Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Huo Qingwu’s Challenge
Swoosh!
Since her trump card, the Third Layer Xuan Rain Force Field, had already been exposed, Feng Yuyan no longer held back. She spread her hands, and countless blue lights shot towards Li Xing.
However, at this moment, the blue lights were even more dazzling compared to when she battled Liu Shaofei earlier. It was evident that the small force fields within had grown stronger.
Chu Ming was paying close attention to Feng Yuyan’s battle. In his view, Feng Yuyan and Li Xing’s combat power should be evenly matched. As for who would win, it depended on who could gain the upper hand.
"Huo Qingwu, are you not planning to avenge your brother? Or are you scared?"
Lei Wushuang glanced at Chu Ming, who was seated on the Profound List seat, and snickered.
"Ridiculous! Am I supposed to fear him? Once this match is over, I’ll show him what I’m made of!"
Huo Qingwu’s face was proudly arrogant, like a queen of fire, completely disregarding Chu Ming.
"Just be careful not to stumble in the ditch."
Evil Charmless sat beside, his face indifferent, taunting.
"Heh, you’d better worry about handling Gu Mu!"
Huo Qingwu raised an eyebrow, not backing down.
"However, I’m not the only one who wants to face Chu Ming!"
Her gaze fell meaningfully on Wang Xuanyi, known as the Hundred Sword Gentleman.
"Swordsmen, truly terrifying!"
Lei Wushuang sighed lightly and shook his head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, in mid-air, Feng Yuyan and Li Xing were already engaged in a fierce battle, white waves surged, and gray turbulence flitted past. In the blur, everyone could only see two black shadows.
"Flying Snow and Flowing Sand Fist!"
Li Xing’s fat figure rolled rapidly, his whole body twisted, and his arms merged into a fist twice as large, pounding towards Feng Yuyan, causing the whole sky to start snowing.
Psh psh psh...
Feng Yuyan’s hands danced, quickly condensing a person-high ice wall in front of her, brilliance of ice light flooding around.
Crack!
However, under Li Xing’s punch, the ice wall in front of Feng Yuyan quickly shattered. A crack, like a spider web, began to spread from the center to the surroundings.
"Ice Rain World!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Feng Yuyan stepped on the air with her right foot, gravity acting horizontally as she instantly retreated. Everyone looked up to find that, at some unknown time, a layer of ice cloud had already spread across the sky above the tea ceremony area, filled with swirling ice rain, bringing great pressure.
Psh psh psh...
Countless ice rains fell from the sky, condensing in the air, each containing a hint of ice rain intent, forming an all-round slaughter against Li Xing.
Chu Ming shook his head, feeling a bit surprised in his heart. Although this move of Feng Yuyan’s was good, it seemed superfluous to him. The ice rain in the sky was dense, but any random one had an attack power only equivalent to the Guiyuan Realm Seventh Layer. Li Xing, being a Body Refining expert, had strong inherent defenses, so these attacks were merely scratching an itch.
However, Chu Ming felt that Feng Yuyan should also understand this in her heart.
"Minimal effort! Haha!"
Li Xing’s expression remained unchanged, chuckling coldly. His hands clenched tightly, and two fierce beams of light brewed on his fists, which he then struck violently at the ice cloud in the sky.
Pfft! Pfft!
The ice rain fell down, unable to injure Li Xing, but it tore his clothes apart, exposing his fat body. The seemingly powerful ice rain was entirely blocked by the power rules beneath his skin.
"Something’s off!"
Chu Ming’s eyebrows jumped. In the ice cloud, he sensed a hidden killing intent. This move of Feng Yuyan’s was not simple.
"Explode!"
At this moment, Feng Yuyan suddenly retreated in mid-air, shouting as the spiritual power in the entire sky began to boil. Li Xing’s face changed because he felt an overwhelming force surrounding him.
Boom!
The entire sky’s ice cloud frantically shattered, pieces of ice rain exploded violently, and Li Xing was right in the midst of this.
Psh psh psh...
The explosive power of the ice rain far exceeded the limits of what Li Xing’s power rules could withstand. In an instant, the power rules twisted and shattered, and the force of the exploding ice rain left blood marks all over Li Xing’s body.
The entire sky was filled with a massive blue mushroom cloud. The audience was stunned, not expecting Feng Yuyan to have such a technique, taking advantage of Li Xing’s complacency for a lethal strike.
As the mushroom cloud in the sky gradually dissipated, the gray turbulence also disappeared. A figure slowly emerged from within the white waves—it was Li Xing.
At this moment, Li Xing’s fat face was extremely pale, blood marks covering his skin, blood seeping out, and he looked incredibly tragic.
Feng Yuyan slid in the sky, then steadily landed on the ground.
"You win!"
Li Xing flew back to his original seat, closed his eyes, and began to heal himself.
Swoosh!
Feng Yuyan did not insist on continuing. She also flew back to Li Xing’s seat as her internal condition wasn’t good either, with only two or three-tenths of her spiritual power remaining.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just as the two had finished, two more people flew from their seats and landed in the center of the tea ceremony area, staring coldly at each other.
...
After the tea ceremony competition experienced seven or eight more matches, just as the last match ended, a fiery red figure descended straight from the highest point of the tea ceremony area, stopping mid-air opposite the Profound List seats.
Huo Qingwu stepped out from the flames, her face filled with pride, her eyes extremely cold.
"Chu Ming, do you dare to have a match with me?"
Huo Qingwu’s mouth curled into a cold smile as she loudly challenged, her voice, supported by spiritual power, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
"Chu Ming, it’s okay if you don’t accept her challenge!"
Feng Yuyan’s eyes flashed with worry, her lips lightly moving, transmitting her message to Chu Ming.
"Don’t worry, I know what to do!"
Chu Ming transmitted his reply, and as soon as he finished, he turned into a white sword light, rushing up from his seat.
"Why would I not dare!"
Chu Ming’s expression was calm. At the same moment, he unsheathed the Star Trace Sword, cutting a brilliant light across the sky. Everyone’s eyes lit up, falling into a brief moment of blindness.
"Wow, finally someone is facing one of the Four Great Geniuses. It’s rare to see them in action!"
"I thought Chu Ming would challenge Wang Xuanyi, the Hundred Sword Gentleman. I didn’t expect Huo Qingwu to challenge Chu Ming. It’s a surprise."
"Although Chu Ming defeated Fang Zhou, it will be difficult for him to beat Huo Qingwu!"
As soon as Huo Qingwu’s words fell, the entire tea ceremony area erupted in excitement.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the highlight of the tea ceremony was finally about to take place. The most anticipated and spectacular part of every tea ceremony was undoubtedly the clash of the top geniuses.
