Invincible Over the World
Chapter 180 - 180 180 Battle of the Imperial City 12

180: Chapter 180: Battle of the Imperial City (12) 180: Chapter 180: Battle of the Imperial City (12) “Blame you?” Huang Xiaolong was surprised for a moment, then shook his head.

He had never taken this matter to heart from the beginning to the end.

Cui Li saw Huang Xiaolong shake his head and suddenly felt much relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders.

Then, Cui Li turned and said to Cheng Jian, who was hosting, “I concede this match.”

Concede!

The crowd was astonished and then started to buzz with activity.

However, not many people mocked her; even Yang Gang was no match for Huang Xiaolong, let alone Cui Li.

It was normal for Cui Li to voluntarily concede.

Amidst the buzzing and discussions of the crowd, the match ended with Cui Li’s concession.

Huang Xiaolong made it into the top three.

Next up was the battle between Pang Yu and Dai Shanni.

Pang Yu and Dai Shanni both possessed Eleventh Level ordinary Martial Souls, and their talent and strength in Martial Souls were not much different; furthermore, their Combat Energy Cultivation was both at the Innate First Rank Late Stage.

Therefore, their overall strengths were evenly matched, making the fight extremely exciting.

In the end, Dai Shanni emerged victorious, winning the match.

Following that was the contest for first, second, and third place.

Huang Xiaolong, Xie Puti, Dai Shanni.

Among the three, Dai Shanni was the weakest.

She automatically conceded and took third place.

With Dai Shanni conceding, it was down to just Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti.

“The final battle, Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti, both of you, please step onto the stage!” As soon as Dai Shanni conceded, Cheng Jian stood up, loudly announcing with a voice that was louder and more resonant than any time before.

Huang Xiaolong, Xie Puti!

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze turned to Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti and the entire Broken Blade Square fell silent.

Finally, it was time for the last battle!

The final battle of this year’s Imperial City competition, the battle for first place, was also the most spectacular!

Huang Xiaolong and Xie Puti both stood up at the same time.

The two walked side by side onto the main stage and then stood firm.

Xie Puti looked at Huang Xiaolong and suddenly smiled, “Honestly, three days ago, I did not think you would be my final opponent.

I thought it would be Yang Gang!”

Indeed, that’s what Xie Puti thought three days ago.

So did everyone else.

“I said before that I would use all my strength to battle you, and I hope you will do the same!” Thereafter, Xie Puti spoke and, as he finished, his body’s red glow surged.

Then, clumps of black flame emerged from his body, and a gigantic phoenix hovered behind him, spreading black fire throughout the surrounding space.

From a distance, it looked as if Xie Puti was surrounded by a sea of black fire, with a giant phoenix burning with black flames above it.

As the Black Fire Phoenix was summoned, the temperature in Broken Blade Square suddenly soared.

This heat spread continuously, a kilometer, two kilometers!

Inside the fighting ring, Cui Li, Pang Yu, and the others hastily circulated their Fighting Energy to resist, which made it bearable.

Even so, they could still feel an extraordinary heat all around them.

Outside the fighting ring, warriors from all sides were also taken by surprise and began circulating their Fighting Energy to resist.

On the main platform, Duan Wuheng, watching Xie Puti summon the Black Fire Phoenix, had a flash of admiration in his eyes and exclaimed, “A Thirteenth Level Martial Soul, how many years has it been since one appeared!”

This was the first time Xie Puti had summoned his Martial Soul since the start of the competition.

Cheng Jian nodded and said, “Indeed, the Black Fire Phoenix, a Thirteenth Level First-class Martial Soul.

The black fire of this Black Fire Phoenix is said to burn all things, even the toughest fine iron of the Martial Soul World can be melted instantly!

It is one of the top existences among phoenix-related Martial Souls.”

Duan Wuheng nodded, “This battle is indeed something to look forward to!” Then, turning to Huang Xiaolong, he said, “Cheng Jian, who do you think will win this battle?

Why don’t we make a bet?”

Cheng Jian was startled, then laughed, “Sure, how does Second Prince want to wager?”

“Who do you think will win?” Duan Wuheng asked in return.

“Your servant believes it should be Xie Puti,” Cheng Jian thought for a moment before answering.

Although Huang Xiaolong had defeated Yang Gang without summoning his Martial Soul, in Cheng Jian’s heart, he was still inclined toward Xie Puti.

Because Huang Xiaolong’s Martial Soul was a Twelfth Level Peak Black Dragon, and Xie Puti’s was a Thirteenth Rank First-class Black Fire Phoenix.

The level of the Martial Soul, the higher it is, the stronger the talent, and the bigger the gap in power.

Now, Xie Puti’s Combat Energy was at the Innate Second Stage Early Stage; unless Huang Xiaolong’s Fighting Energy was at the Innate Second Order Late Stage, he could not bridge the gap of their Martial Souls.

Innate Second Order Late Stage?

In Cheng Jian’s view, it was simply impossible.

After all, Huang Xiaolong was only seventeen years old.

Breaking through to the Innate rank at seventeen was already alarmingly impressive.

On the stage, Huang Xiaolong looked at Xie Puti, who had summoned the Black Fire Phoenix, with a calm face.

Then, with a surge of black light all over his body, a heaven-shaking Dragon Roar echoed through the high sky, and a huge Black Dragon hovered behind Huang Xiaolong.

An aura of an Ancient Divine Dragon enveloped all directions of heaven and earth.

At that moment, a clear phoenix cry rang out, which vaguely overpowered the Black Dragon’s roar.

Dragon Roar and Phoenix Cry!

In the square, everyone watched the Ancient Black Dragon and the Black Fire Phoenix above the stage, all showing faces filled with excitement and shock.

Twelfth Level Peak Martial Soul!

Thirteenth Rank First-class Martial Soul!

No matter which one, both were super rare Martial Souls in the world.

Today, they appeared on the same stage, and the two possessors of the Black Dragon and Black Fire Phoenix were about to fight in the most exciting battle!

After summoning the Black Dragon, Huang Xiaolong’s aura of slaughter swept through, transforming into an Asura Body with Demon Wings appearing behind him.

Although he had easily defeated Yang Gang, Huang Xiaolong knew that Xie Puti was not comparable to Yang Gang.

Xie Puti, possessing a Thirteenth Rank First-class Martial Soul and having reached Innate Second Rank in Combat Energy Cultivation, was undoubtedly twice as strong as Yang Gang.

Therefore, Huang Xiaolong started by summoning the Black Dragon Martial Soul.

However, even though Huang Xiaolong had summoned the Black Dragon Martial Soul and transformed into an Asura Body, from the outward momentum of the two, Xie Puti still seemed substantially stronger.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong summon the Black Dragon Martial Soul, Xie Puti nodded secretly, then suddenly shouted, “Black Fire, Phoenix Wings!” As his voice called out, the Black Fire Phoenix hovering behind him let out a long cry, spread its wings, and instantly attacked Huang Xiaolong and the Black Dragon.

With one thought from Huang Xiaolong, the Black Dragon roared, raising its Dragon Claw to meet the Black Fire Phoenix.

At this moment, Xie Puti’s figure flashed, already appearing in front of Huang Xiaolong.

“Illusion Phantom Void Finger!”

One finger jabbed toward Huang Xiaolong’s brow.

Under that one finger, multiple phantoms layered between reality and illusion, making it unclear which one carried the true Finger Power and which were mere shadows.

The Demon Wings on Huang Xiaolong’s back stretched out and, in a flash, he disappeared from his spot.

Xie Puti’s finger strike hit empty air, striking a corner of the stage.

The entire platform shook, and the audience was horrified to see a horrifying finger hole appear at the corner of the stage!

The depth of the finger hole was unknown.

What was even more shocking was that Huang Xiaolong suddenly disappeared!

Vanished into thin air!

Even Xie Puti, having missed his strike, was startled.

His perception spread, covering the entire stage, but he could not sense Huang Xiaolong’s presence.

“What is this?!” On the main stage, Duan Wuheng’s eyes flashed with light.
