Leo’s figure flashed, arriving behind the icy white sword light, his right hand pressing on the hilt.
Similarly, the spiritual power within Leo surged out wildly, along with the extreme cold power of the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
The icy white sword light shone brightly, its blade emitting a chilling aura.
The slender flaming petals wrapped around the icy white sword light instantly shattered.
In the sky, it was the final showdown.
Below the duel platform, everyone held their breath, watching the duel between the two in the sky.
Both of their faces were pale, clearly exhausted after a fierce battle.
“I will not lose!!” Gilberto roared angrily, his face twisted, mobilizing all the spiritual power within him.
Leo sneered, likewise increasing the output of his spiritual power, and the Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus began to operate.
The enormous icy white sword light spread a chilling force.
Hundreds of burning petals wrapped around the icy white sword light were successively frozen and broken.
Then, under Leo’s push, the enormous icy white sword light directly pressed against the center of the giant flower.
“Break!” Leo’s eyes were icy cold as he shouted sharply.
Boom!
A powerful force of ice exploded again, shattering the giant flower into a rain of fire.
In Gilberto’s shocked eyes, the sword light moved forward relentlessly.
Before the sword light reached him, its powerful aura had shredded Gilberto’s luxurious purple robe into pieces, hanging on him like rags.
Gilberto’s body and face were cut with blood marks.
The pain brought Gilberto back to his senses. The sword light did not attack him but stopped a meter away from him.
“Young Lord Benson, you lost!” Leo’s cold voice echoed in Gilberto’s ears.
Below the duel platform, the spectators snapped out of their shock.
The female disciples of Falling Blossom Palace looked at Leo with starry eyes.
“The Young Lord of Runecarver Sect actually lost.”
“The duel just now was truly spectacular!”
“Lord Leo is really powerful…”
In the sky, anyone could see that if Leo hadn’t held back at the last moment, Gilberto would have been more than just injured.
Gilberto stood dazed in mid-air, unable to accept that he had lost. How could he have lost!?
Gracie’s eyes sparkled; through this battle, she gained a deeper understanding of Leo.
Mike was so excited that his old face turned red, his admiration for Leo reaching an unparalleled level.
Seraphina looked deeply at Leo, a strange emotion stirring in her heart.
“How could the Young Lord lose…” Derick’s eyes widened, his gaunt face looking extremely displeased.
Glenn’s chubby face was also dark, his eyes flickering with unknown thoughts.
“Impossible, I actually lost to you!” Gilberto stared at Leo with bloodshot eyes, his face twisted as he roared.
As the Young Lord of Runecarver Sect and a future giant in talismans, he had lost to someone he initially didn’t even consider worthy of his attention.
“It seems Young Lord Benson still needs to wake up!” Leo’s eyes flashed coldly as he pushed the sword light half a meter closer.
A terrifying chill enveloped Gilberto’s entire body instantly.
At that moment, he felt the fear of death.
He had no doubt that if Leo wanted to, he could kill him instantly.
“I… I… lost…” Gilberto clenched his fists tightly, lowering his head slowly in unwillingness and helplessness, his voice hoarse.
Leo naturally wouldn’t take Gilberto’s life. With a wave of his right hand, the sword light shattered into countless ice shards falling from mid-air.
Then Leo turned around, preparing to land on the duel platform.
However, just as Leo turned around, Gilberto suddenly raised his head.
His blood-red eyes were filled with ferocity and madness, his face twisted to a terrifying degree.
“I will never lose!”
Gilberto’s voice was filled with viciousness and resentment. With a flip of his right hand, a black talisman covered in mysterious runes appeared in his hand.
The black talisman seemed almost alive, writhing around Gilberto’s fingers and emitting a pure black glow that seemed to swallow even the surrounding light.
Seeing the black talisman in Gilberto’s hand, everyone’s faces changed drastically below.
Just looking at that pure black talisman gave people an extreme sense of chilling terror.
Gracie’s eyes widened as she instinctively said, “That’s… a Level Seven Black Talisman!?”
The black talisman was covered in mysterious runes that seemed ancient and slightly dimmed in some areas due to age.
“The Young Lord actually took out the life-saving talisman given by the ancestor!” Derick’s old face was full of surprise.
“It seems the Young Lord is determined to kill that boy at all costs!” Glenn’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Underneath her veil, Seraphina’s pretty face changed as she wanted to warn Leo. But Mike had already shouted loudly, “Lord, be careful!”
“You bastard, die!” The disheveled and ferocious Gilberto threw the black talisman towards Leo.
In mid-air, Leo turned abruptly and saw a black talisman piercing through space towards him.
Leo’s pupils contracted sharply as his body stiffened. A wave of extreme cold rose from his heart and spread throughout his body.
Leo felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
The black talisman shook slightly before exploding into a dark glow.
From within the dark glow emerged a long spear covered in dark runes.
The spear’s shaft was covered in mysterious runes, and its tip emitted a pure black glow that was chillingly cold.
At that moment when the spear tip aimed at him, Leo felt an unavoidable sense of doom.
In this critical moment, Leo forcibly suppressed the cold in his heart. His spiritual power surged wildly as he tried to retreat.
Just as Leo’s spiritual power exploded within him, a layer of dark membrane emerged from the void and enveloped him entirely.
Inside the dark membrane, it was as if time itself had frozen.
The dark spear pierced through space towards Leo trapped inside the dark membrane.
The chillingly dark spear tip left a pitch-black mark in space wherever it passed.
“Lord!” Seeing Leo trapped and unable to move within the dark membrane, Mike shouted anxiously.
“Dare to touch my reverse scale; death is your only outcome!” Gilberto’s face was full of madness as he laughed loudly.
“That boy is dead for sure!” Derick felt immensely pleased inside.
Gilberto used an attack talisman called “Dark God-Destroying Spear Talisman,” which was obtained by Runecarver Sect’s ancestor from an ancient sect’s ruins and given to Gilberto for protection.
