Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Invincible Terrain_1

The two combatants in the arena were brewing their next attack.

The higher the skill of the fighters, the more cautious they must be, as no one wishes to reveal their trump cards in an instant.

During this interval, the spectators couldn’t help but catch their breath.

The scene just now had been so intense that they had even forgotten to breathe.

Yang Cheng’s strength goes without saying, but what’s the deal with Ling Xiao’s movement technique?

That speed!

That level of trickiness!

It was absolutely on par with a Half-step Grandmaster, perhaps even stronger!

And the power of that punch was definitely not any less than a Half-step Grandmaster’s!

Was this guy really an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master?

Surprise and disbelief were evident in the eyes of Lan Yu’er, Zhao Zhi, Xu Ying, Hei Suo, and others.

Could it be that Ling Xiao was truly going to break the ten-thousand-year tradition of the Moon Hua Sect today?

To defeat a Half-step Grandmaster with the cultivation level of an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master!

Just as this thought occurred, before they had even caught their breath, the situation in the arena suddenly underwent a drastic change.

Yang Cheng made his move!

As a Half-step Grandmaster who had been injured by Ling Xiao, an Eighth Layer Peak Martial Master, his pride and self-esteem had taken a hit.

Wind and Cloud Art!

Spring Wind and Rain Step!

Wind and Rain Sword Technique!

Gold Level Entry Internal Strength Technique!

Gold Level Entry Body Movement Technique!

Gold Level Entry Sword Technique!

Yang Cheng no longer held back, unleashing his terrifying True Essence from within his body, invoking a fierce wind, his figure abruptly disappearing, like raindrops carried by the wind, he lunged at Ling Xiao in an instant.

At this moment, only a few people such as Lan Yu’er and Elder Bai could see Yang Cheng’s figure.

The situation mirrored the earlier moment when Ling Xiao had attacked Yang Cheng.

It seemed that Yang Cheng also intended to demonstrate his prowess in movement, to make Ling Xiao feel fear!

His Spring Wind and Rain Step and Wind and Rain Sword Technique, aided by the activation of the Wind and Cloud Art, complemented each other and had clearly improved a lot.

The speed of his movement was even faster!

The power of his swordplay was even stronger!

And the Wind and Cloud True Essence generated by the Wind and Cloud Art itself could also be released without any hindrance, which was the perfect combination.

"I’ve always heard that the most formidable aspect of Yang Cheng is that his martial arts skills complement each other perfectly, and even though they are of the same level, they always seem to be much stronger than others!"

"That’s right, his arrogance isn’t unwarranted, to be ranked in the top ten of the Outer Sect, he surely has his own unique advantages!"

The disciples watching the battle below discussed animatedly.

Indeed, when an expert makes a move, one can tell their skill level immediately.

From the looks of it, Yang Cheng’s movement didn’t seem inferior to Ling Xiao’s, and his attack was even more overpowering!

Under the terrifying embrace of his True Essence, Ling Xiao seemed like a fragile sampan in the vast ocean, flipped over by ferocious waves in an instant, and then completely submerged.

Snow Lotus Sword Technique, third stance—Condensed Water!

The Floating Snow Sword suddenly appeared in Ling Xiao’s right hand; with a slash, a chilly aura immediately covered the entire arena.

"So cold!"

Many disciples below couldn’t help but shiver.

This Snow Lotus Sword Technique was currently Ling Xiao’s most powerful martial skill, which he would not use lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Yet today, under the circumstances of suppressing his cultivation level, he had no choice but to use the Snow Lotus Sword Technique.

Yang Cheng was too strong, more than ten times stronger than Li Anle!

His sword looked like it was made of crystal, emitting a faint blue light. With that sword strike, Yang Cheng’s originally fierce momentum instantly became sluggish.

Yang Cheng’s Wind and Cloud True Essence had actually been frozen.

A very peculiar scene occurred on the challenge stage.

Yang Cheng, who had already drawn near Ling Xiao, seemed to be turned into an ice sculpture by the severe cold of deep winter.

Crack!

Although the ice shell shattered in an instant, allowing Yang Cheng to break free, his attack was abruptly halted, and he furiously retreated.

Because he knew full well that with the flow of True Essence impeded, forcing an attack at this moment would bring him no benefit.

Ling Xiao did not pursue, for this move had also consumed a significant amount of his True Essence, and he was now utilizing the Devouring True Essence ability of the Mountain and River Martial Soul to convert Yang Cheng’s Wind and Cloud True Essence into his own.

To compensate for his earlier consumption.

In dealing with Yang Cheng, he could not afford to be negligent; he needed to maintain an abundance of True Essence at all times.

Snow Lotus Sword Technique—Flying Snow!

Moments later, Ling Xiao launched his attack.

It was still the Snow Lotus Sword Technique, only this time it was the first move, "Flying Snow."

This first move was the fastest and most likely to catch an opponent off guard.

Behind him, the Blood Shadow Martial Soul had almost vanished, replaced instead by the Dark Cloud Warrior Soul.

This Martial Soul, obtained from a Ninja Warrior, was best suited for techniques that could cause changes in the surrounding natural environment.

Anything similar to wind, thunder, rain, lightning, or snow would do.

The Dark Cloud Warrior Soul, gathering above Ling Xiao, let snowflakes fall from it, and as Ling Xiao’s sword gleamed, they swept out instantly, transforming into what seemed like a snow dragon.

Crack!

Sizzle!

Ling Xiao’s sword directly pierced through the tornado enveloping Yang Cheng, then breached his protective True Essence, leaving a very distinct sword wound on Yang Cheng’s shoulder.

This was only because Yang Cheng’s body movement technique was excellent and he dodged in time; otherwise, that strike might have been fatal.

A Half-step Grandmaster truly was formidable, yet Ling Xiao’s sword still possessed the power to kill a Half-step Grandmaster!

Gazing at the wound on his shoulder,

Although it was not very severe, it was a considerable blow to Yang Cheng’s confidence.

This was the third time that Ling Xiao had forced him back since the beginning of their fight, and the second time he had inflicted an injury!

Yet Yang Cheng had not even managed to leave a mark on Ling Xiao, the most he had done was to cause Ling Xiao’s complexion to pale.

"Yang Cheng has been injured again!"

Many in the audience couldn’t believe what they were seeing, even rubbing their eyes as if fearing they were experiencing an illusion.

Otherwise, how could Ling Xiao keep injuring Yang Cheng, time and again?

Actually, this was not strange at all.

Although Yang Cheng was much stronger than the Eighth Layer Martial Vein Peak Ling Xiao in terms of strength, from the very beginning, he fell under Ling Xiao’s control.

From Ling Xiao’s first move to Yang Cheng’s third forced retreat, Yang Cheng was completely led by the nose by Ling Xiao.

In such a scenario, for Yang Cheng to be able to respond promptly to sudden changes, it was impossible for him to devote all his attention to the fight.

Subsequently not going all out, he naturally could not match Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was in the state of Soul Entry, perceiving everything on the field.

He could even grasp the flow of Yang Cheng’s True Essence and vital energies.

He knew that at this moment, not only was Yang Cheng’s mind in disarray, but his True Essence was also in chaos.

Thus, he struck swiftly once more.

Snow Lotus Sword Technique, fourth move—Ice Heart!

Snow Lotus Sword Technique, first move—Flying Snow!

With the aid of the fourth move and the amplification of the Dark Cloud Martial Soul, the sword light of the Floating Snow Sword in Ling Xiao’s hand surged, with snow almost blanketing the entire challenge stage from the sky.

That one sword, as gentle as drifting snow, yet as swift as lightning.

However, when its power was released, it was terrifyingly formidable.

At this moment, Ling Xiao’s Snow Lotus Sword Technique, whether in attack or speed, had clearly elevated to a new pinnacle.
