Chapter 19: Flame Battle Saber

On the Battle Stage.

From time to time, roaring sounds echoed out, nearly deafening the students below the stage, filling their faces with utter shock.

“The two of them are simply too strong. It can basically be said that they are the two strongest in the Houtian Realm!”

“I think Liu Ying should be able to win. Even though he suppressed his Cultivation to become a peak Ninth Layer of Houtian Realm Cultivation, his Spiritual Power is purer, and his actual combat experience is richer. Qin Yefeng will definitely lose!”

“I support Qin Yefeng. Although the probability of his defeat is higher, as a fellow newly admitted student, I just support Qin Yefeng. Go for it!”

Below the Battle Stage, the new and Senior Students began to discuss the outcome one after another, supporting different people.

Some supported Liu Ying, while others supported Qin Yefeng.

“Let’s see you dodge now!”

Unable to catch him despite his bitter pursuit, Liu Ying was extremely furious, and his gaze turned chillingly cold.

In an instant, his entire body surged with power, and his speed increased dramatically. It seemed as if he caught up to Qin Yefeng in just a moment.

At the exact moment Liu Ying caught up to him, Qin Yefeng’s figure suddenly stopped, and he brought his palms together.

In an instant, his palms carried berserk Spiritual Power, burning with Golden Flame. Like the sun, it emitted a powerful, fierce, and sharp fluctuation.

Qin Yefeng raised his hand chop and then slashed down with all his might, tearing through the air and unhesitatingly chopping toward Liu Ying’s arm.

Qin Yefeng’s sudden shift from defense to offense surprised Liu Ying for a moment, but it did not cause him to panic.

He separated two fingers, carrying green Spiritual Power that continuously surged upward, appearing exceptionally formidable.

The fiery red hand chop and the green two fingers slashed and pierced, clashing together in the next moment.

Boom!

The clash between the palm and the fingers was like the evening drum and morning bell, unexpectedly emitting a metallic sound as the fiery red Spiritual Power swept over the green smoke.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, it refined the green Spiritual Power, sweeping berserkly toward Liu Ying.

Qin Yefeng’s eyes were ice-cold. At this moment, Golden Flame had already risen from his palm, and the center of his palm seemed to hold molten gold.

Driven by this, the hand chop was like a Golden Flame Battle Saber, viciously cutting down.

An incomparably sharp Golden Flame Battle Saber suddenly appeared in the air, hovering over the Battle Stage and looking down on everything with disdain.

Indestructible, that perfect golden blade seemed capable of cleaving apart everything in the world, its domineering saber aura fully displayed.

Swish, swish, swish!

Facing Qin Yefeng’s overbearing and fierce attack, Liu Ying did not dare to be careless. His two fingers turned into four.

The green Spiritual Power permeated the smoke screen, refusing to yield an inch!

The golden light battle saber and the green smoke bombarded together almost instantly.

At the moment of impact, it was as if this piece of heaven and earth suddenly fell dead silent. Surges of Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth frantically escaped from the place where the two clashed.

The intensity of the clash was such that the fluctuations there seemed capable of obliterating even the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth alive.

But the silence only lasted for an instant, and then an indescribably terrifying power storm swept out from there.

As the energy storm swept out, Liu Ying’s face instantly turned deathly pale. He wildly spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura withering to the extreme, and was sent flying by the shockwave.

Qin Yefeng’s figure was similarly retreating violently. The terrifying gale spreading from the energy made even his heart palpitate.

However, his speed was clearly inferior to the spread of that energy gale. He immediately clenched his palm, and golden light surged, rapidly transforming into a massive Golden Scale Flame Shield in front of him.

The people below the stage all saw that powerful golden energy. If Qin Yefeng hadn’t used a hand chop, Liu Ying would probably have been decapitated long ago.

And those Senior Students of the Holy Sun Academy below the stage all asked themselves and realized they were not Qin Yefeng’s match. If they were on the stage, the result would be the same.

“I didn’t expect this Qin Yefeng to be so formidable. I really didn’t expect it.”

“This… this… this is impossible. With the suppression of Spiritual Power and the superiority of Martial Arts Techniques, why would such a situation occur?”

“It’s truly too far beyond my expectations. This has already made me somewhat unable to believe it!”

Instantly, there was a burst of commotion below the stage. Some said Liu Ying had lost the face of the Senior Students, while others sighed in admiration at Qin Yefeng’s formidability.

On the Chief Seats, the Instructor who had not thought highly of Qin Yefeng was also extremely surprised at this moment.

Because he had never seen a Martial Arts Technique carrying Golden Flame before. Could it be that they were ignorant and ill-informed, or had that ruin produced a new Martial Arts Technique?

The Vice Dean of the Holy Sun Sect laughed heartily at this moment. In fact, if Liu Ying had won, he wouldn’t have felt anything at all, because he wasn’t genius enough. Only with Qin Yefeng’s victory would he be incomparably happy.

“Not bad, truly worthy of being someone who can lift a forty-thousand-Jin Great Cauldron.” The White-haired Elder looked at Qin Yefeng’s unyielding and domineering attack and couldn’t help but speak up.

The entire East Wing of the Holy Sun Academy was completely silent. The densely packed crowd below held their breath as they watched the action on the stage.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—that Golden Flame was actually burning the Spiritual Qi permeating the air.

And on the Battle Stage, after being struck by the incomparably vicious Golden Hand Chop, Liu Ying was knocked back dozens of steps.

His hands were already burned pitch-black. Beneath the cracked skin, fresh blood unexpectedly flowed down from his blackened hands.

It was very obvious that the berserk Golden Flame just now had already caused severe injuries to Liu Ying.

However, the look in Liu Ying’s eyes was still like a venomous snake, so icy cold, as if he still wanted to launch a fatal attack against Qin Yefeng.

Qin Yefeng looked at Liu Ying in front of him. The fierce attack just now was still too light. It was not enough to secure victory yet. He had to heavily injure him in order to win.

Liu Ying took a deep breath, and as his figure drifted backward, he strangely withdrew his hands into his robes.

What was most surprising was that this Liu Ying was actually acting arrogantly, even slowly closing his eyes.

Liu Ying’s extremely bizarre behavior also provoked waves of questioning voices from below the stage, clearly unable to figure out what he was doing.

“This…” The White-haired Elder also looked at Liu Ying in confusion, not knowing what tricks he was playing.

And those people on the Chief Seats, the Vice Dean and the Instructors, all frowned slightly as they watched Liu Ying.

At a time like this, wouldn’t closing one’s eyes just expose flaws for the opponent to exploit?

“Acting mysterious, you’re courting death!”

Qin Yefeng brought his hands together. Under the numerous gazes below the stage, intense Golden Flame burned on the Battle Stage as he fiercely chopped down with both hands.
