Unparalleled Duo
Chapter 73 - 73 50 The Crane Battles the Dragon Dog

73: Chapter 50: The Crane Battles the Dragon Dog 73: Chapter 50: The Crane Battles the Dragon Dog “Brother Sun, I’ve looked into it, and maybe you should just forfeit?” The final match of the top eight hadn’t even started yet, and Huang Donglai had begun persuading Sun Yixie to withdraw again.

“Huh?” Sun Yixie smirked and gave Huang Donglai a glare, “Dammit, you Huang jerk, are you trying to boost someone else’s morale before the match again?”

“Ah, brother, it’s all for your own good,” Huang Donglai said earnestly, “Just look…

Chunkong Little Master and Lin Yuancheng have already met in the semi-finals of the left bracket, and over here on the right, Miss Song has claimed a spot in the top four.

The other spot will be taken by the winner between you and Liuu Yikong.

Tell me, out of these four people, who can you beat?”

On hearing this, Sun Yixie’s expression changed slightly.

In his heart, he knew he couldn’t beat any of them, but he still put on a tough front and feigned calm, “Hmph…

I can only say—I’m willing to fight.”

“Forget it, what’s there for you to fight,” Huang Donglai too well understood Sun Yixie; hearing him, he knew Sun Yixie was just being stubborn, “Honestly, brother, I’m giving you advice.

Your performance so far is decent, and everyone thinks you’re quite capable, but the next four people can’t be dealt with just by playing dirty tricks.

Even if it were me, and I was in good health right now, I fear it’d be an instant defeat.

If you go up there and fight, you might get beaten back to your original shape.”

“Hmph…” Sun Yixie initially felt somewhat daunted by the other party, but being provoked like this by Huang Donglai actually made him less anxious.

He thought that either way, it was going to be a loss, so he might as well go all out, “If you put it like that, then I simply must fight!

I want to see just how much better these humans are, not having three heads and six arms!”

While they were speaking, the announcer on stage had already declared it was time for the contestants to enter, and Sun Yixie immediately grabbed his trident and headed over.

Huang Donglai lay there, sending off Brother Sun with a look that said, “Brother can only help you this far.”

On the other side, Liuu Yikong leaped onto the stage in response.

His lightness skill, different from that of Guo Cong; Guo Cong’s style felt like thunderous momentum, firm as Taishan Mountain, but Liuu Yikong’s style, it was like snowflakes and cotton drifting silently to the ground.

The way he jumped onto the stage didn’t produce any sound whatsoever, whether it was the initiation of movement or landing.

Visually, there was no perceptible exertion when he jumped, almost as if he wasn’t using Qinggong, but some kind of hovering flight superpower.

“Please.” After settling, Liuu Yikong took the initiative and greeted Sun Yixie with a fist and palm salute.

And look at this young hero, dressed in white, a curved saber at his waist, his long hair unfettered, cascading to his shoulders, his facial expression calm like water, gentle as jade.

His features were exceedingly handsome and elegant; with each glance, he naturally exuded charming grace.

By this point in the competition, all the contestants had appeared on stage.

If we’re just talking about looking “handsome,” then Liuu Yikong had already won.

Needless to say, facing such an opponent whose mere appearance seemed to mock, Sun Yixie became even more determined.

“Please!” In this match, Sun Yixie finally started off with his trident in hand, assuming a stance ready to engage with weapons.

Brother Sun’s Weapons Skill had not yet been showcased up to this point, so the audience below was full of anticipation.

Liuu Yikong’s face, however, remained as calm as ever; he seemed uninterested in Sun Yixie’s Martial Arts, slowly drawing the curved saber from his waist and casually assuming a posture with not a trace of fighting spirit in his eyes.

Liuu Yikong’s lack of interest wasn’t disparagement; he simply did not like…

He did not enjoy Martial Arts, much less fighting with others.

Ever since he was young, he had no interest in these things, but he had no choice since his father was “Flying Crane of the Cangshan Mountains” Liuu Jingkong.

Legend has it that their Liuu Family’s ancestors once served as guards for the Dali Imperial Family, possessing two exclusive Martial Arts: a near top-tier Sword Skill—Flying Crane Saber Skill, and a supreme Qinggong—Sky Soaring Skill.

The Liuu Family had always held their ground in Martial Arts with these two skills—not only as their signature but also as an important family legacy.

Therefore, as a descendant of the Liuu Family, he was born with two missions: First, to bear a son to continue the lineage; second, to pass the Liuu Family’s Martial Arts to his son and ensure he carries on these two missions to his offspring.

When it came down to his generation, Liuu Yikong happened to be an only child, and he was the fourth consecutive generation of only sons.

This meant he lacked even a distant male relative within three generations; hence, whether he was interested or not, he had to inherit the family mantle.

What was more ironic…

was that he possessed natural talent for Martial Arts.

At just eighteen years old, he had already mastered ninety percent of his father’s Qinggong abilities.

In terms of Qinggong alone, many Sect Leaders present might not match him.

And Huang Donglai, who was also known for his Qinggong among the younger generation, was far inferior in this aspect to Liuu Yikong.

After all, the Huang Sect had “Three Excellences” and didn’t focus solely on Qinggong, and when taken separately, the Huang Sect’s Qinggong was not as profound as the “Sky Soaring Skill.”

The Huang Sect emphasized changes in stance and footwork, striving for explosive power and deceiving the enemy in the moment; to put it figuratively, it involved a lot of “standing long jumps” and “side hopping” techniques, whereas the “Sky Soaring Skill” was the “purest form of Qinggong,” pursuing bone elasticity and scientifically progressing…

To the final form was like stepping on one’s own foot in mid-air to change direction or even defy gravity.

Additionally, Liuu Yikong’s saber skill was not bad either.

Although the Flying Crane Saber Skill was not considered exceedingly brilliant, when coupled with his family’s nimble Qinggong and utilized with the curved saber, its power could certainly be considered first-class.
