Chapter 490: Four hundred and eighty-eight, formidable opponent

Luo Shu tucked away her Silver Whip and stepped down from the stage. She had won the first match and needed to draw lots again before she could take the stage.

Looking around, she saw that Lu Hanmo and Yun Han, who had also entered the first round, had finished their matches as well.

The three exchanged smiles and returned to their respective teams.

The competition was in full swing, and by the time the first round was over, the sky had darkened.

Back at the hotel, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo entered the space. They didn’t know what kind of opponent they’d face tomorrow, so they had to maintain their best condition.

The next day, the competition continued.

Those who had won the previous round drew lots again, and this time Luo Shu’s opponent was also from Tianchi Country.

As she stepped onto the stage, Luo Shu saw that her opponent for this round was a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator from Qingfeng Academy. She had met him during the Talisman Crafting competition before, so she remembered him somewhat.

When he saw that his opponent was Luo Shu, he smiled at her and shouted directly, "I concede!" He would have to be insane to engage in combat with Luo Shu, that abnormality.

Luo Shu descended from the stage and quickly made her way towards the competition stage where Lu Hanmo was fighting. She had just seen from the stage that Hanmo’s opponent this time was their number one foe, Yuwen Qisha.

When she arrived at the stage where Lu Hanmo was, she saw that he and Yuwen Qisha were fiercely battling.

Yuwen Qisha shook his spear, creating countless terrifying spear glows, densely packed and attacking Lu Hanmo without any gaps.

Lu Hanmo’s aura was no less intense, as his long sword swirled sharply in his hand, forming a net made of sword glows to block the deadly spear glows that were attacking him.

"Boom Boom Boom!" Spear glows and sword glows constantly collided, the strong momentum dispersing outward and hitting the Array Barrier around the competition stage, making a buzzing sound!

"That Spirit Division Phase Cultivator is amazing, fighting against a Great Mahayana Cultivator and not falling behind at all."

"These two are the strongest of all the contestants this time."

"That’s Yuwen Qisha, he is the top ranked from Shuiji Country, and the other one is Lu Hanmo, he is the top ranked from Flame Country. Only between these two does such a fight make sense; anyone else would have been defeated already."

"No matter who wins this match, the one left will likely be the champion of this four-nation showdown."

"Don’t forget about Luo Shu; she’s not weak either. This competition is about the total score."

"Luo Shu is strong, but if she goes up against these two, she’s probably only going to get thrashed," the spectators discussed among themselves, awed by the solidity of Yuwen Qisha and Lu Hanmo. This was also the first time they had witnessed a battle between cultivators of such a level.

A spear glow struck Lu Hanmo, sending him stumbling back several steps.

"Hanmo!" Seeing the blood spilling from Lu Hanmo’s lips, Luo Shu felt a sudden pain in her heart and quickly pushed through the crowd to the very front. She knew she couldn’t help Hanmo right now, but she could stand closest to him, give him encouragement, and cheer for him. She could let him give up when he couldn’t hold on any longer. She didn’t want him to pay a heavy price for that map even if she could never return in this lifetime. In her heart, he was more important than everything else.

Lu Hanmo quickly steadied himself and charged at Yuwen Qisha with the speed of lightning, like a cheetah, rapid, agile, and full of strength.

Two figures clashed again in battle, with the booming sounds unceasing to the ear.

On the ground of the competition stage, cracks spread out like a spider’s web, dust rose everywhere, and while the continuous explosions could be heard, it was impossible to see the battle situation on the stage.

Luo Shu stared intently at the situation on the competition stage, her fists clenched so tightly in tension that even the gaps between her fingers bled without her noticing.

"It’s okay, no need to be nervous!" Yun Han’s voice rang out beside Luo Shu.

"Mhm!" Luo Shu nodded forcefully, as if to give herself strength.

Yun Han looked at Luo Shu’s clenched fist, his brows furrowing. But he knew that aside from feeling heartache for her in his heart, there was nothing he could do.

The battle on the stage grew more intense, and half of the entire competition stage had been blasted away.

At this time, the other competition platforms had already finished their battles, and everyone began to crowd around this one.

The judges seated at the referee’s stand were also staring unwaveringly at the situation on the stage. They had originally thought that Lu Hanmo’s cultivation was a level below Yuwen Qisha’s and wouldn’t last long. But Lu Hanmo’s combat power had far exceeded their expectations.

Lu Hanmo’s eyes were bloodshot, his clothes already soaked with blood. He kept exchanging blows with Yuwen Qisha. At this moment, he had only one belief: to defeat Yuwen Qisha. Only by defeating Yuwen Qisha could they possibly win, could they have a chance to get that map.

Yuwen Qisha’s situation was not much different from Lu Hanmo’s—if it weren’t for the black robes he wore, his garments would have also been stained red with blood. At first, he thought that in his battle with Lu Hanmo he would surely win, yet the more he fought, the more alarmed he became. Lu Hanmo’s strength was far beyond his expectations. Despite being a level lower, he was in no way weaker.

"End it!" Lu Hanmo shouted, his aura surging once more, and with his long sword carrying an incredibly terrifying and astonishing momentum, he swung at Yuwen Qisha.

Yuwen Qisha’s pupils contracted slightly, and he thrust the long spear in his hands forward with all his might, driving it deep into Lu Hanmo’s body.

At the same time, Lu Hanmo’s long sword also entered Yuwen Qisha’s body.

Time stood still in this moment, silence falling around suddenly.

"Swoosh!" The long spear and sword were simultaneously pulled out from their bodies, bringing forth a burst of fresh blood. Lu Hanmo and Yuwen Qisha both fell to the ground simultaneously.

"Hanmo!" Luo Shu screamed, her heart aching as if it was being torn apart, wanting to rush onto the competition stage, but she was blocked by the formation.

Just as Luo Shu was about to take out her weapon to forcefully break the formation, Lu Hanmo, who lay on the ground of the competition stage, moved. He opened his blood-red eyes, as if they had been soaked in blood, and struggled to rise from the ground, using the strength of his long sword to slowly stand up.

"Hanmo!" Luo Shu covered her mouth, sobbing as she watched Lu Hanmo. He was alright; thankfully, he was alright.

"Oh!" Deafening cheers erupted around them.

Lu Hanmo glanced at Yuwen Qisha, who still lay motionless on the ground, and slowly raised his right hand.

"Oh!" The cheers grew louder, the entire arena boiling over with excitement.

Luo Shu watched Lu Hanmo, and they exchanged smiles. He had won! He had won! He really did it!
