Chapter 1265 - 1266: Hong Yuan Concedes
Three years ago, during the struggle of the Wind and Cloud Feast, they didn’t achieve a ranking. Three years later, their strength has improved greatly, and they’re determined to break into the top ten.
Yan Hai is domineering, and almost none of his opponents can withstand more than three moves from him. He sweeps through with a strong stance, making the crowd sigh with amazement at how much stronger Yan Hai has become compared to three years ago.
Of course, others are not standing still either. Zhuang Feiyan, though a woman, is extremely quick in her moves, easily defeating her opponents.
Su Mei’Er is no exception. With a long whip in her hand, one whip per person, anyone touched by the whip falls off the battle platform.
Apart from them, the Ninth Battle Platform has also seen a rise of many talented figures, such as Hong Yuan and Luo Kaiyang, who placed ninth at the Wind and Cloud Feast; they are equally formidable.
It’s known that Hong Yuan’s talent was never lacking, but he was dragged down by Hong Yiyi. Now at the Wind and Cloud Feast, he finally shines brightly.
After winning, Hong Yuan cast a glance at Xiao Tianyu. He hoped he wouldn’t encounter Xiao Tianyu too early, given their close relationship and shared goal of being there for Hong Yiyi.
If they meet too soon, what would happen? Someone would have to concede.
"Can my brother break into the top ten?" Hong Yiyi asked with excitement. Xiao Tianyu replied, "Unless he encounters me too early, it’s possible!"
"Does that mean you’re stronger than my brother?" Hong Yiyi pouted.
"Is it because I’m not your biological sibling that you’re a bit biased?"
"Just a tiny bit!" Hong Yiyi suddenly smiled. Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at her, "Seems like being blood-related is better!"
"Just teasing you!" Hong Yiyi chuckled, "Both of you are equally important to me. No matter who makes it into the top ten, I’ll be happy!"
"You’re good with words!" Xiao Tianyu knocked on Hong Yiyi’s adorable little forehead.
"Xiao big brother, they’ve started the duel again. Good luck!" Hong Yiyi clenched her pink fists tightly, soon a voice announced, "Ninth Battle Platform, Xiao Tianyu versus Hong Yuan!"
Xiao Tianyu: "..."
Hong Yuan: "..."
Hong Yiyi: "..."
Isn’t this too coincidental?
The three of them paused simultaneously, then their gazes quickly turned to the elder in charge of selecting duels, wanting to know if he did it on purpose. The two people who least wanted to meet now faced each other.
The crowd also looked at the two of them with curiosity.
Zhuang Feiyan sent a message to Hong Yuan, "Now that you’re being used by my Zhuang Family, I expect you to give your best in this fight!"
Zhuang Feiyan’s warning was reasonable since the Zhuang Family invested in Hong Yuan to give him the qualification to face the elite from all four corners on the Wind and Cloud Battle Platform. If Hong Yuan doesn’t give his best, it would be a huge waste of ten thousand Spirit Stones.
"I understand!" Hong Yuan nodded, then headed toward the Ninth Battle Platform. Even without Zhuang Feiyan’s words, he would have given his all. He needed to make it into the top three to heal his sister.
Without his sister, maybe he would choose to concede, but the situation doesn’t allow him.
Soon, Xiao Tianyu and Hong Yuan stood on the Ninth Battle Platform, exchanging glances and then smiles.
Hong Yuan said, "I hadn’t expected us to meet so soon!"
"I’m surprised too!" Xiao Tianyu said, glancing at the duel-choosing elder. Hong Yuan nodded and added, "Our goals are almost the same, but Yiyi is too important to me, so I can’t miss this chance!"
"I feel the same!" Xiao Tianyu replied calmly. If Hong Yuan could break into the top three, Xiao Tianyu might concede, but given the current situation, it’s unlikely for Hong Yuan to make it to the top three. Even the top ten seems improbable.
He was just comforting Hong Yiyi earlier.
"Xiao bro, apologies!"
Thud~
At that moment, Hong Yuan stepped forward, as if donned in armor, an endless Power of Laws descended from the heavens, the light blinding, followed by his body seemingly becoming frighteningly defensive.
This is the Defense Law.
At the same time, his divine physique became more imposing, enveloped by another Law, the Power Law.
The Power Law excels in power; typically, an attack means overpowering, as the Power Law consumes greatly, it’s not suited for prolonged battle.
The longer the battle, the harder it becomes for oneself, as fatigue might lead to defeat.
Hong Yuan would never allow that to happen, so he aims to crush Xiao Tianyu with the most overwhelming force from the start.
Thud thud thud~
Hong Yuan advanced rapidly, causing the platform to shake, charging madly at Xiao Tianyu, with his massive physique leaving deep footprints wherever he went, showcasing the overwhelming power of Hong Yuan.
Boom~
A thunderous sound, Fist Aura from the void crashed down towards Xiao Tianyu, the gust raging, a destructive storm suddenly erupted, instantly making Xiao Tianyu feel as if a giant peak had crushed him.
Hong Yuan excels in power crushing, yet Xiao Tianyu’s Law remains mysterious; for now, nobody knows what Law he uses, evading Hong Yuan’s punch directly.
This quickly sparks a fierce battle, so intense that the crowd has forgotten Xiao Tianyu is at the Seventh Layer Divine Level. His realm is overlooked, treating him as a Divine Level Ninth Layer individual.
Only because, in his first battle, he instantly defeated Liu Feng.
Now facing the emerging talent Hong Yuan, many naturally focus on Xiao Tianyu, wanting to discern what power he truly controls. However, after fighting for a while, people still can’t tell, as if Xiao Tianyu is purposely concealing.
Thud thud~
Seeing several punches fail against Xiao Tianyu, Hong Yuan continuously lifted his steps, the platform appearing like it might crack under him. In previous battles, Hong Yuan always suppressed his opponents with an overwhelming presence.
Therefore, Hong Yuan’s strength is unquestionable, yet he can’t seem to defeat Xiao Tianyu.
"Kill!" Hong Yuan shouted explosively, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, and suddenly a massive Fist Aura emerged from the sky.
Symbols danced on the Fist Aura, suppressing everything.
Before his mighty fist fell, an endless vortex seemed to roar from a thousand miles, where a battle dragon emerged.
This is precisely Hong Yuan’s Battle Cyan Technique.
"Break!"
Sword moves against the flow, with a roaring wind, Xiao Tianyu’s body soared, and he unleashed a sword strike. Despite wielding an Iron Sword, the Sword Aura managed to pierce through some, clashing with the Fist Aura before demolishing it in the void.
With one blow, Xiao Tianyu disrupted it, and Hong Yuan remained unmoved in his original spot.
This moment made the crowd frown; did he concede just like that?
Indeed, Hong Yuan opened his mouth with a smile toward Xiao Tianyu, "I entrust my sister’s life to you, Xiao bro!"
Xiao Tianyu’s superior strength made Hong Yuan happier, for once, there is hope that his sister’s poison might be cured; everything else doesn’t matter to Hong Yuan.
Of course, this loss also brought him some hope.
