On the spacious martial arts stage, two figures clashed, each wielding a treasured sword.
Their silhouettes intertwined, and sword lights danced, leaving deep cracks on the hard ground from their fierce sword energy.
In just a few dozen seconds, they had exchanged hundreds of blows, and the stage was left in ruins.
“They’re both so strong.”
“Yeah, that guy can actually withstand so many moves from Christian.”
“Christian must not be using his full strength yet…” the young disciples exclaimed in awe.
When Leo’s fierce sword strike was blocked by Christian, Leo immediately threw a punch aimed at Christian’s head.
Christian’s expression turned cold, and flames gathered in his palm as he struck back at Leo.
Fist and palm collided, producing a dull sound.
An invisible wave of force spread out, causing those around the stage to feel a powerful gust.
Under the impact, Christian was forced back seven or eight steps on the stage, while Leo retreated four or five steps.
Christian snorted coldly, his face darkening slightly as he shook his left hand.
The exchange had left his left hand numb.
“No wonder you could knock Akira off the stage with one punch. You deserve to see my full strength.” Flames seemed to burn in Christian’s eyes.
Christian’s powerful internal energy erupted, turning the entire stage into a scorching furnace.
Even with Leo’s spiritual energy protecting him, he felt the heat.
Christian gripped the Fire Spirit Sword with both hands and muttered a few words. Flames erupted from the sword’s surface, forming an even larger sword that slashed towards Leo from a distance.
“That’s Christian’s signature move, Fierce Fire Slash!”
“What a powerful strike. The last time Christian used it was two years ago.”
“I wonder when I’ll have Christian’s strength…”
The young disciples exclaimed again.
“Leo,” Violet couldn’t help but clench her small hands, her eyes filled with worry.
A smile curved at the corner of Leo’s mouth.
Even the Warrior King wasn’t his match, let alone a Warrior Sect!
A yellowish glow flashed, and Leo suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
The giant flaming sword struck the hard stone slabs of the stage, creating a huge crack.
Christian’s pupils contracted as Leo vanished.
Just as Christian was taken aback, a yellowish glow appeared behind him.
Leo’s Divine Dragon Sword turned into a stream of light and shot towards Christian.
The Divine Dragon Sword reached him in an instant. Christian’s face changed drastically as he channeled his internal energy and quickly dodged to the side.
The Divine Dragon Sword grazed past Christian’s left side.
Though he avoided the sword, a thin cut appeared on his left cheek from the sword energy.
A trickle of blood seeped from the cut and flowed down his cheek.
A few strands of hair were also cut by the sword energy and slowly drifted to the ground.
“Christian is injured!”
“How did that guy suddenly disappear?”
“Could it be the legendary Dao Laws?”
Christian’s injury caused an uproar among the young disciples below. Many were seeing Christian injured for the first time.
“Was that Earth Concealment Technique just now?”
Donovan and Harrison exchanged glances, both showing signs of astonishment.
“It should be Earth Concealment Technique. Dao Techniques are indeed miraculous,” Harrison said with bright eyes.
On the stage, Christian’s previously proud face turned icy cold as blood trickled down his cheek.
The Divine Dragon Sword automatically returned to Leo’s hand.
“In all these years, apart from Holden, you’re the first to injure me.” Christian’s voice was icy, his fighting spirit growing stronger.
In the entire Cultivation Martial World, Christian ranked among the top of the younger generation.
Even many older powerhouses weren’t his match.
So Christian had both the strength and reason to be proud.
“Today you will be defeated!” Christian shouted coldly, planting the Fire Spirit Sword into the hard ground before him.
He then leaped up and stood on the sword’s hilt.
Dressed in white like snow, with a cut on his face, Christian exuded an even more rebellious allure.
“Holden, Christian is about to use his strongest martial technique,” Aimee couldn’t help but say.
She knew Christian intended to end this quickly.
“Yes, since our duel two years ago, Christian hasn’t used his strongest technique. This time, its power must have increased significantly,” Holden Coleman nodded.
Even he had to give his all against Christian’s ultimate move.
“The match will soon be decided,” Frederick said with a faint smile on his gaunt face.
Akira, who had been knocked down by Leo’s punch and was now sitting on the ground recovering, stared unblinkingly at the stage.
He hoped that under Christian’s strongest attack, Leo would also be sent flying off the stage like he was.
The entire stage now resembled a fiery hell.
The intense heat could probably melt steel.
Christian began forming an extremely complex seal with his hands.
As he completed the seal, a pillar of fire suddenly erupted from the hard floor of the stage.
Atop the fire pillar, a fiery red lotus bloomed magnificently.
Waves of intense heat spread outwards.
Some young disciples standing too close couldn’t bear it and retreated one after another.
As Christian’s hand seals changed,
the fire lotus suddenly split into two, then four, then eight…
In just a few breaths’ time, over a hundred fire lotuses appeared on the stage.
If not for the terrifying heat radiating from them, the stage would have looked breathtakingly beautiful at this moment.
“Christian’s ultimate move, Ice Fire Lotus!”
“Even Holden Coleman doesn’t dare underestimate this move.”
“That guy is doomed under Christian’s ultimate move!”
The Coleman family disciples discussed fervently with admiration and respect in their eyes.
“Christian has indeed improved significantly. Last time we fought, he only formed eighty Ice Fire Lotuses. This time it’s over a hundred,” Holden Coleman said softly.
“Now it depends on whether Leo can withstand it,” Aimee said as she looked at Leo.
“Over a hundred Ice Fire Lotuses would require even me to use about eighty percent of my strength to handle. That guy is definitely going to lose,” Frederick declared decisively.
“Haha, with such talented disciples emerging in our Coleman family, we old folks can rest easy,” Grand Elder Harrison nodded approvingly.
Clearly, he also favored Christian.
On the stage, surrounded by over a hundred Ice Fire Lotuses, Leo’s expression grew serious.
No one could feel the heat on the stage better than him.
