Chapter 602: Chapter 72: Xu Ziyang’s Decision【Two-in-One】_2

Ren Hongdao was a relentless fighter. He broke through Qiankun Land in front of him and jumped back in front of Yang Shenlong in no time, his long knife was upon Yang in an instant.

Whoosh—

The icy wind from the knife bore down upon Yang Shenlong’s face. Remaining calm, Yang caught the knife with a clang, using a three-foot long Dragon Bone Mango that sprang from his right hand.

Boom—

His feet sunk down to his knees under the force, compressing his entire height.

But as he shrank, a figure sprung from his back, an External Avatar!

The avatar sprung and jumped, its right arm transforming into a massive Dragon Claw which pressed downwards.

Suddenly ambushed, Ren Hongdao activated his Winged Snake Blade, forcing Yang Shenlong back. He swung his long knife frantically, creating a storm of Gang Qi in response.

Rumble rumble!

After the shockwave that shook the surroundings, the dust was quickly swept away by a new storm, revealing Yang Shenlong’s avatar gripping onto the Winged Snake Blade with its Dragon Claw. It firmly controlled Ren Hongdao’s weapon. Even as golden blood sprayed outward, he ignored it.

Meanwhile, the figure that had been pushed back stepped forward again, with the Dragon Bone Mango thrust at Ren Hongdao.

Faced with an attack from both above and below, Ren Hongdao, within an instant, demonstrated the might expected of the Elder Brother of Gang Sect and shouted: "Die!"

With a rip, his upper body clothing turned into dust and an indescribable strong Sha energy erupted from all over him.

He didn’t let go of his knife, instead, he pushed the Qi from the knife to its peak, wanting to split both Yang Shenlong and his clone!

Swish swish—

The Winged Snake Blade rose and fell, the Yang Shenlong avatar in mid-air was shattered. Facing the Dragon Bone Mango, Ren Hongdao advanced instead of retreating, undeterred by the prospect of mutual destruction. His sharp blade halted only an inch from Yang Shenlong’s face.

The air seemed to freeze.

Yang Shenlong’s Dragon Bone touched Ren Hongdao’s chest, any further and it would go through his heart. Conversely, Ren Hongdao’s long knife hung over Yang Shenlong’s head, any lower and it would cost him his life.

Mutual destruction?

"You lose."

As the audience stared in surprise, another figure of Yang Shenlong walked out of thin air.

And the avatar before Ren Hongdao burst apart.

Two avatars!

Yang Shenlong could create two avatars at the same time while his original body had been concealed by the Bright Light Mirror Image technique. What Ren Hongdao had been chasing all this time were just avatars.

This scene shocked everyone, but also eased their minds a bit. Moments ago they almost thought the two young men were going head-to-head and if one of them couldn’t stop, it could have resulted in both of their deaths.

In previous Imperial City battles, casualties had occurred.

In the midst of the shocked cries, the announcement resounded again.

"Penglai Upper Sect’s Yang Shenlong defeats Heavenly Gang Sect’s Ren Hongdao!"

...

Of course, not all battles were this bloody and fierce.

In a not-too-distant fight, it was rather peaceful. Tianshu Pavilion’s Ye Yongxing was up against Misty Mountain Immortal’s Li Guanlong.

Ye Yongxing offered a slight bow of respect, to which Li Guanlong responds with a nod.

Their eyes meet and they recognize the sparks in each other’s eyes. They knew they were equally matched.

Ye Yongxing’s Underworld Eye, which was taught from birth, matched Li Guanlong’s expired Dream Fairy Gu. It was like a duel between an awl and a needle.

"Once I make a move with the Killing Great Talisman, Brother Li, you will struggle to defend yourself." Ye Yongxing confessed.

His eyes radiated a brilliant light, but despite what he said, he made no move.

Li Guanlong paused for a moment, seemingly accepting his message, then his eyes shone in response, "Once my illusion technique transforms my real body, and your attack targets my fake body, you have already fallen into my dream."

The interplay of light in their eyes suggested that all the scenes they were describing were already playing out.

Ye Yongxing furrowed his brow and then confessed, "Even inside the dream, I am capable of discerning the secrets within it. I can turn the tables on you."

"Ah!" Li Guanlong exclaimed softly. He took two steps back, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "Although you can contest control of the dream world with me, my cultivation level is higher than yours. You are still not a match for my Misty Mountain Secret Technique. With my Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams All Heavens Formation, you have nowhere to run."

Ye Yongxing smiled airily, "Formations are also my expertise. Seven Kills, Pojun, Greedy Wolf, these three formations can immediately break your Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."

Li Guanlong then replied, "But you have fallen into my strategy. I have the support of the Dream Fairy Gu, which can supplement my Qi and True Yuan within the dream. The longer you stay in the dream, the greater your consumption, if you refuse to admit defeat, your Divine Sense will be greatly damaged."

Ye Yongxing pondered for a moment and stated, "I can only break the dream with my powerful cultivation but my cultivation level is not enough, hence I find it hard to break free."

Li Guanlong then smirked lightly, "You concede, then."

After a while, the light in Ye Yongxing’s eyes finally faded. He shook his head in disappointment, "It ends here after all."

"Winning or losing is commonplace in battle, Brother Ye needn’t take it too hard," Li Guanlong counseled.

The crowd was bewildered as they watched these two perform their theater-like duel, where a few words seemingly decided the winner.

What are they doing?

Are they battling with civilized manners?

If they had said that winning was just about talking, wouldn’t the old man out there telling lurid stories be invincible if someone brought him over?

Are they really sure there are no covert deals between these two? Suggest a thorough investigation of match-fixing between those two.

...

"Shu Mountain’s Jiang Yuebai defeats Nanyin Square... Iron Hammer!"

Meanwhile, the two women on the other side were engaged in ferocious battle.

Iron Hammer swung her golden hammers with violent gusts, it seemed as if Jiang Yuebai was in peril. But in fact, she slightly held back and found an opportunity to win the battle.

Iron Hammer was not weak, but she still fell short compared to Jiang Yuebai. Off the record, this fight wasn’t as powerful as the one between Jiang Yuebai and Xi Miaoxian in the last round.
