Chapter 219: Chapter 221: This Battle, I Will Not Shrink Back!

"Hehe, to exchange blows with the Pill Sect Saint Heir is indeed an honor for me, Xiao Feiyuan," Junior Brother Mo, please show mercy later..."

Despite his words, Xiao Feiyuan’s gaze towards Mo Wangchen carried a clear hint of disdain.

Mo Wangchen sneered inwardly, too lazy for further words, "Make your move."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Xiao Feiyuan’s eyes flashed coldly, and the next moment, he moved, darting to the side, leaving a trail of afterimages like ghostly apparitions.

"Such incredible speed!"

From the spectator stands, everyone was surprised by this scene, inwardly commenting that Xiao Feiyuan was indeed as formidable as they had imagined.

TssTss!

TssTss!

In just less than two breaths’ time, Xiao Feiyuan had circled around Mo Wangchen, the numerous afterimages still lingering in place. In the next instant, these afterimages all struck out with their swords, sending out more than a dozen terrifying Sword Lights hurtling towards Mo Wangchen at the center.

Mo Wangchen’s gaze sharpened, and he coldly snorted, "All flash and no substance!"

With that, he stomped his foot and soared into the sky. As he did so, the Sword Qi collided where he had been standing, exploding into fragments and unleashing fierce shockwaves in all directions.

Whoosh!

As the afterimages dispersed, Xiao Feiyuan’s figure reappeared. With a sneer on his face, he thought that Mo Wangchen, who had a cultivation below the Returning Ruins Realm and thus couldn’t fly, was undoubtedly an easy target.

Hum!

His long sword vibrated wildly, the terrifying and sharp aura reaching its peak as he slashed a distant strike towards where Mo Wangchen was.

The Sword Qi tore through the space, splitting the air it passed as if it were a meteor, ruthlessly striking towards Mo Wangchen in mid-air.

"What a powerful sword strike!"

Around them, after Xiao Feiyuan unleashed his sword, many onlookers held their breath, their eyes filled with astonishment. They did not doubt for a second that Xiao Feiyuan had used all his strength in that blow, and even those who had entered the first level of the Returning Ruins Realm now felt a threatening aura.

Below, the fellow Pill Sect disciples were completely on edge, seemingly even more nervous than Mo Wangchen himself!

"Xuanlong Palm!"

In a flash of lightning, Mo Wangchen’s Hand Force surged. In mid-air, a torrential momentum seemingly infused into his palm, causing the air around him to swirl. In the next moment, an almost tangible dragon’s roar echoed as he released his palm strike, which erupted like a volcano. The overwhelming Hand Force swept out, covering the entire arena, pressing down ferociously from above.

Crack!

Under the assault of the Xuanlong Palm, Xiao Feiyuan’s Sword Qi instantly shattered, but the terrifying force of the palm remained unabated, covering the entire high platform and continued to envelop everything below.

Xiao Feiyuan’s gaze tightened, but he had already prepared. He tapped his long sword against the void, and in an instant, more than a dozen Sword Qi bursts merged while moving, forming the shadow of a giant sword.

Hum!

The giant sword tore through the sky, clashing with the Hand Force. The two eroded each other and eventually dissipated together.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Mo Wangchen had landed back on the ground. He stamped fiercely with his foot, rapidly moving to close the distance with Xiao Feiyuan.

The Sword Cultivator might have strong Attack Power, but his defensive power was somewhat lacking. Xiao Feiyuan saw through Mo Wangchen’s intentions, retreating swiftly to broaden the gap between them.

"Jade Flute Sword Technique!"

While retreating, Xiao Feiyuan did not forget to attack, brandishing his long sword repeatedly. The Sword Qi flew out, heading straight towards Mo Wangchen, intending to force him back.

"Silent Killing Finger!"

Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his brow, swiftly pointing out with his fingers, as one terrifying Finger Light after another collided with Xiao Feiyuan’s Sword Qi, resulting in an explosion of astonishing fluctuations.

The range of the high platform was limited; Xiao Feiyuan could retreat no further. He hadn’t expected that Mo Wangchen would have so many strong Martial Techniques as trump cards, rendering his own attacks completely ineffective.

"How strong! No wonder he was able to slay Fang Ruyuan. As the battle progresses, Mo Wangchen seems to be in a position to overpower Xiao Feiyuan!"

"Go on, Saint Heir!"

"Go on, Senior Brother Mo!"

Below the high platform, a crowd of Pill Sect disciples, as if seeing hope of victory, became overexcited and burst into loud cheers.

Swoosh!

Mo Wangchen’s speed increased more and more. Inside him, the Hidden Dragon Undying Body quietly started to operate, reaching its ultimate speed. In the blink of an eye, he was within three steps of Xiao Feiyuan!

Watching Mo Wangchen, enveloped in Golden Radiance, Xiao Feiyuan’s face suddenly changed. He realized that at this moment, Mo Wangchen had employed a Body Refining Martial Technique!

Sword Cultivators most feared close combat with Body Refiners.

"You’re defeated!"

Mo Wangchen’s cold voice reached his ears. His fist shone with Golden Radiance, a terrifying aura brewing.

"Seeking death!"

However, at that moment, Xiao Feiyuan’s eyes turned cold as if backed into a corner. A fearsome aura suddenly rose from him, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through from the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm and stepped into the first level of the Returning Ruins Realm!

"What?!"

"He’s actually at the Returning Ruins Realm?"

"That’s shameless! Sword Sect actually let Xiao Feiyuan hide his true power, deceiving Senior Brother Mo into the fight!"

Below the stage, as this scene unfolded, all the Pill Sect disciples’ faces were stained with anger.

Whoosh!

With the roar of the Sword Sound, the moment Xiao Feiyuan reached the first level of the Returning Ruins Realm, he slashed his sword down fiercely. The Sword Qi that swept towards Mo Wangchen was many times stronger than before.

Boom!

This scene happened too suddenly. By the time Mo Wangchen reacted, Xiao Feiyuan’s attack had already struck him. Fortunately, he activated the Hidden Dragon Undying Body, which had impressive defensive power. The sword was terrifying but hadn’t managed to cut through his flesh.

However, the powerful impact still sent Mo Wangchen flying. The sword hit his chest, causing him great discomfort, and blood uncontrollably surged from his mouth.

His chest, where his clothes had already been slashed, bore a visible bloody mark, showing a superficial cut but no deep injury.

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Xiao Feiyuan hid his cultivation. This match isn’t fair!"

When Mo Wangchen and Xiao Feiyuan had put some distance between them, the Pill Sect disciples started clamoring below the stage.

Mo Wangchen was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm, while Xiao Feiyuan had reached the Returning Ruins Realm—the difference was an entire major realm!

"Once you enter the arena, victory or defeat must be decided, and outsiders may not interfere!"

However, at that moment, Fang Tianzhou stood up and snorted coldly, "In the first match, our Sword Sect sent a second-level Returning Ruins Realm fighter, while Pill Sect sent a first-level. There was no fairness to speak of!"

"Besides, wasn’t it Mo Wangchen who volunteered to fight? I didn’t force him, did I?" Fang Tianzhou sneered.

Lin Xuantian looked on with frosty eyes, finally taking a deep breath before turning to Mo Wangchen, "If you cannot win, simply concede..."

But before he finished, he only saw Mo Wangchen take a deep breath, his eyes growing cold at this moment as he looked towards Xiao Feiyuan, "Although the actions of Sword Sect are despicable, I will not back down from this battle."

Buzz!

Having said that, the space before him vibrated slightly, and the next moment, the Yuanhong Sword appeared in his hand.

"Mo Wangchen knows Swordsmanship?!"

Around them, everyone was first taken aback, then a burst of surprise erupted.
