Chapter 4309
Pavilion Master Qian, who oversees Wantong Pavilion, also serves as the lord of the city. It’s no surprise, given that Wantong Pavilion holds the most power in Nanjin City!
“You two,” Pavilion Master Qian addressed the combatants, “since you’ve taken the stage, this is now a life-and-death battle. Regardless of the outcome, there will be no retaliation once you leave the arena!”
After his declaration, Pavilion Master Qian waved his hand gently at the edge of the arena.
In an instant, shimmering rays of light surrounded the ring, enveloping it entirely!
Buzz!
As the light wrapped around the arena, a tremor shook the air, creating a protective formation to shield innocent bystanders from harm!
“Kai, I didn’t think you could reach the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm in just one month. But no matter how quickly you advance, you’ll never be able to defeat me!”
Confidence radiated from Mu Qing as he began to condense his inner aura, releasing an overwhelming power!
A faint blood-red hue emerged behind Mu Qing, and an oppressive force surged toward Kai!
This invisible pressure felt like a brute force, locking onto Kai and warning him before he could even react!
Yet, Kai stood firm, his expression unyielding and fearless!
With a smirk, Mu Qing sneered, “In less than ten moves, I’ll make you bleed to death…”
With that, Mu Qing grasped the air, and the blood mist behind him transformed into a long sword!
He swung the sword, unleashing a beam of sword light that shot toward Kai with incredible speed!
Seizing the moment, Kai defended himself, brandishing the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which had appeared in his hand without him noticing!
The Dragon-Slaying Sword positioned itself in front of him, emitting a mighty dragon roar that shattered the incoming sword light!
The spectators gasped in astonishment, some in disbelief!
Mu Qing’s sword was undeniably powerful, yet no one anticipated that Kai could block it so effortlessly! Moreover, he exuded no discernible aura!
“Could this guy really defend against a first-grade Mahayana cultivator using just his physical strength?” Manager Liu thought, his face a mask of surprise!
Although he understood that Kai’s true strength surpassed what his realm suggested, he had tried to estimate Kai’s abilities realistically, never guessing they were this formidable!
Kai had indeed countered Mu Qing’s attack using only his physical might, and he appeared remarkably composed, as if he weren’t engaged in a life-and-death struggle at all!
Calmly, Kai regarded Mu Qing, the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand continuing to roar like a dragon!
Mu Qing furrowed his brow, taken aback by the situation!
He hadn’t anticipated that Kai could fend off his attack without any visible energy, relying solely on his physical prowess!
Even Tan Rongkun, who had always looked down on Kai and believed he would inevitably lose, now stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
At that moment, the crowd began to reassess and redefine Kai’s strength!
However, only Kai himself understood that he wasn’t merely relying on his physical strength to counter Mu Qing’s strike; his physical body wasn’t that strong yet!
Kai was harnessing the power of his True Fire Dharma Body. Unlike before, his True Fire Dharma Body was no longer just an illusion—it had begun to solidify!
This True Fire Dharma Body essentially acted as Kai’s clone, with identical power and aura, allowing him to go unnoticed!
Everyone mistakenly believed that Kai had solely depended on his physical strength to withstand Mu Qing’s assault!
This marked the first time Kai had unleashed the power of his True Fire Dharma Body. Once it fully solidified, his physical capabilities would double!
“Kid, prepare to face my sword again…”
Mu Qing declared coldly, then leaped into the air, bringing his sword down in a fierce slash.
This time, the sword’s light surged violently, shooting skyward. As he struck down, the very fabric of the void tore apart!
