C48 Still One Slash
Of the remaining ten people, six were at the Spiritual Martial Stage and Duo Ming was also quite extraordinary. Only three of them didn’t catch much attention. Thus, no matter what order they fight in, the battles between the strong were unavoidable.
Finally, there were two battles that attracted most attention. One was the collision between the experts at Spiritual Martial Stage, Qiu Lan and Lin Hong, and the other was the battle between Gu Yan and Duo Ming.
As for the other three battles, they were meaningless. It was likely that Nalan Feng, Lin Qian and Wen Jiang would be able to directly enter the next round.
It turned out that things went just like what the crowd had predicted. Nalan Feng and Lin Qian's opponent directly admitted defeat. Wen Jiang's opponent was Feng Qian, and although Feng Qian spared no effort, he was still only able to take three strikes from Wen Jiang before he was knocked off the battle platform. Besides, Wen Jiang was not using his full strength at all, so the gap between the Spiritual Martial Stage and the Qi Martial Stage was great.
This time, the two competitors on the main platform were Qiu Lan and Lin Hong. They were the focus of this round's battle.
On the Northern Battle Platform, Gu Yan's ice-cold gaze fell on Lin Feng as he revealed the desire to kill Lin Feng. What a coincidence, he had actually met Lin Feng on the battle platform, as long as Lin Feng dared to fight with him, he would definitely kill Lin Feng in order to revenge Gu Jing on him.
"If you don't dare to fight, then get off. Don't embarrass all the martial cultivators." Gu Yan's face was filled with ridicule and his voice was ear-piercing.
Lin Feng calmly stood there as he indifferently said, "You don't have to provoke me. Ease up. I will give you a chance to take revenge."
"Heh heh." When Gu Yan heard Lin Feng's words, he let out a sinister laugh. He had indeed used his words to provoke Lin Feng to fight with him. However, he did not expect that Lin Feng would actually gain an insight into it and still want to fight.
"Idiot, I will let you understand what is the Spiritual Martial Stage. The differential is too great to offset." Gu Yan sneered in his heart. He did not even release his martial soul as he was afraid that releasing it would frighten Lin Feng off, not fighting with him.
Lifting his foot, Gu Yan walked towards Lin Feng. When he was only ten steps away from Lin Feng, he stamped his foot as a thunderous palm cut through the air smashing Lin Feng ceaselessly. At this moment, Lin Feng had already been covered by endless palm shadows, and from Gu Yan's direction, one could not even see Lin Feng.
"You are courting death if you dare to hurt members of the Gu family." Gu Yan shouted as a giant palm slapped at Lin Feng. Even if Lin Feng could withstand those palm shadows, this strike would be vital enough to take Lin Feng's life. Since he had begun fighting, he would not allow Lin Feng to live, otherwise, he, the number one genius of the Gu family, would lose his face.
As the overwhelming palm shadows were about to slap on Lin Feng's body, Gu Yan even revealed a cruel smile.
However, at this moment, the resplendent light flashed again. The palm shadows that filled the sky were directly torn apart, leaving numerous cracks that looked as though they might shatter at any moment.
"Die." Gu Yan did not move. He loudly yelled and the fierce and overbearing palm added to the palm shadows that were about to split open. The power that could topple mountains and overturn the seas pushed forward. That strike was enough to kill everyone in the Qi Martial Stage.
"Not really."
"Boom."
A calm and cold voice sounded, and an incomparably tyrannical sword power tore apart everything. The palm instantly collapsed and shattered into countless pieces and faded in the wind. Although it was a sword light, it would contend with the world.
"Spiritual Martial Stage." Gu Yan's face was deathly pale. How could he have never expected that Lin Feng had concealed his strength?
The sword light was cold and deadly, the sword aura was sharp and destructive, destroying everything in front of it.
The sword was invincible.
"Watch out." Gu Qing was so surprised that he rose from the seat. However, it was already too late. Gu Yan had always been plotting to kill Lin Feng with a single strike, this attack did not give him any leeway. At this moment, he was unable to retaliate at all, let alone withstand Lin Feng's invincible sword.
Blood shot out from Gu Yan's throat like an arrow. Gu Yan at Spiritual Martial Stage died.
This was also the only person at Spiritual Martial Stage who had been killed in the Martial Arts Competition by now.
At this moment, everyone from the Gu family stood up and looked at the scene in front of them in shock and despair. They watched the Gu family's most outstanding young man fall onto the stage.
"I will kill you." Gu Qing shouted loudly, shaking the eardrums of the crowd.
Nalan Xiong frowned and said, "Patriarch GU, you are too much. Don't forget that this is Yangzhou City Martial Arts Competition."
Gu Qing's expression was frozen as he glanced at Nalan Xiong. Finally, he let out a disgruntled snort and sat down.
However, from the way Gu Qing stared at Lin Feng, it was clear that he would not let Lin Feng go.
"What?! Gu Yan was killed by Duo Ming? Only in a single sword strike?" Many people who were originally watching the battle between Qiu Lan and Lin Hong were suddenly awoken by Nalan Xiong's sudden shout. When they saw Gu Yan's corpse on the ground, they could not help but stare blankly.
"Dammit, why did I choose to watch the battle of Qiu Lan and missed this battle? How did Duo Ming kill Gu Yan?"
Many people started to regret, silently sighing that they missed out on an exciting battle. They clearly did not expect that such a shocking battle would occur on this side. The expert at Spiritual Martial Stage was even killed, and moreover, killed by the mysterious expert that just became known.
"We have all misjudged him. Duo Ming is also a cultivator at Spiritual Martial Stage. He is extremely powerful. His strength can be in the top five or even higher."
It was not only the crowd. At this moment, even Nalan Xiong was looking at Lin Feng's back as he walked down the battle platform. This guy killed Martial artists at Qi Martial Stage in one strike and he killed an expert at Spiritual Martial Stage in one strike as well. So even Nalan Xiong could not figure out how strong he was indeed.
At this moment, the result of the other battle had also come out. Qiu Lan had defeated Lin Hong, and at this moment, the five experts that entered the next round all appeared.
Nalan Feng, Lin Qian, Wen Jiang, Qiu Lan, Duo Ming!
Still, it was the Nonsectarian Cultivators who had no family support that were the most, Qiu Lan and Duo Ming. As for Gu Family, however, there was not a person left. Even the two most talented young men of the Gu Family were even killed by Lin Feng.
After resting for the duration of a burning stick again, the elder walked up to the main platform.
"The fourth round, Lin Qian bye, Nalan Feng versus Wen Jiang, and Qiu Lan versus Duo Ming."
The crowd was excited. It was finally the final battle. Nalan Feng's strength was needless to say, Wen Jiang was a cultivator at Second Level of Spiritual Martial Stage, whose level was even higher than Nalan Feng’s and Lin Qian’s. The battle between the two would definitely be soul-stirring.
And there was still another battle. Duo Ming entered the fourth round with irresistible force. He killed three men with three stikes. What would happen between Qiu Lan and him?
This time, the two battles took place in sequence, no longer at the same time and both on the main dueling platform.
First, it was Nalan Feng versus Wen Jiang.
“Wen Jiang, your strength is OK, but you are still not my match. Admit Defeat.” Nalan Feng was incomparably arrogant. She was like a princess, looking down on everything.
"Humph, my Strengh is better than yours. You are the one to admit defeat." Wen Jiang retorted.
"Stubborn fool." Nalan Feng snorted and released her Martial Soul. Suddenly, a Divine Arm Martial Spirit appeared behind her. However, what was shocking was that the Divine Arm Martial Spirit behind Nalan Feng was different from the martial soul of Nalan Chen that Lin Feng had killed. Nalan Feng's Divine Arm Martial Soul was actually golden with an invincible golden light.
"Divine Arm Martial Soul. As long as it is golden in color, it can be considered a perfect Divine Arm Martial Soul." A faint smile appeared on Nalan Xiong’s face. In the past hundred years, only Nalan Feng had awakened the purest Divine Arm Martial Soul.
"As expected of the princess of Yangzhou City, her martial soul's divine arm is actually golden in color, mighty and tyrannical."
The hearts of the crowd throbbed and their expressions changed.
Wenjiang didn't want to be outdone and he released his martial soul as well. Behind him, an illusionary river appeared, with endless waves and the sound of flowing water. This was the River Martial Soul of the Wen family.
"This world is indeed full of wonders." When Lin Feng saw their martial souls, he sighed in his heart. Divine arms could become a martial soul, and even a golden one. A river was also a type of martial soul.
Martial souls were extremely bizarre and unimaginable.
He glanced at Lin Qian. If he wasn't wrong, Nalan Feng would win this battle, and the next round would directly turn into bye. In other words, after he defeated Qiu Lan, the next round would be him versus Lin Qian.
