The Decisive Battle

Both of them are top contenders in this Genius Battle. If they join forces, they shouldn't be underestimated, and it would benefit both sides.

Despite this, Murong Bai still disdained joining forces with anyone. As the clan leader, he would rather lose beautifully than win in an unsightly manner.

Murong Bai moved his shoulder, shaking off Yue Yifei's hand, and said indifferently, "Not interested."

Yue Yifei was taken aback, smiled wryly, and didn't try to make a fool of himself again. He shook his head and said, "Since that's the case, then it's none of my business. You two can compete."

Yue Yifei knew his own limitations, knowing that he definitely wasn't Fan Lang's opponent alone, so he simply chose to give up and returned to the Silver Moon Merchant Guild's team. He whispered a few words to his adoptive father, and Yue Dangkong patted him on the shoulder to show his comfort.

Murong Bai took off his white cloak and slowly put it into a Storage Card, then leaped onto the Arena.

Of the dozen or so participants, some had lost, some had left, and now only the two of them remained. The outcome was about to be revealed.

Fan Lang condensed the Eye of the Dragon, his eyes were intimidating, and two Sky Covering Hands floated on either side, each tens of meters long, casting two shadows.

Murong Bai also knew pupil techniques. The pupils in his eyes gradually disappeared, turning pure white, emitting a chilling aura. This was the Eye of Ice, which had many ice-related effects. After the Eye of Ice was activated, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the surface of the Arena with a layer of white frost.

This scene caused many young women to scream, all of them infatuated. They only saw the beauty of ice and snow, but couldn't feel the hidden danger.

"I really didn't expect your strength to be so strong. It's not impossible to win against you, but it will cost me a bit. It wouldn't be worth paying such a price for you, but I'm a competitive person. Since I specifically asked you to come, there's no room for retreat."

Murong Bai's tone was indifferent. As he spoke, he took out a white pill, which was the price he was talking about.

Fan Lang glanced at the pill and recognized it. This thing was a "Snow Demon Pill". After taking it, it could enhance the ability to control ice and snow, and the Mystic Force would be converted into ice attribute, but there would be some side effects, causing the body to be frostbitten by the cold air. It was a pill that harmed the enemy by a thousand while damaging oneself by eight hundred.

The Wind Cloud Genius Battle allowed the use of pills, but the quantity was limited to one pill at most.

"Eat it. It'll be more interesting to fight you if you get stronger, otherwise it'll be too boring," Fan Lang said nonchalantly.

"You're the first person who dares to underestimate me like this." Murong Bai's fighting spirit soared, and he swallowed the Snow Demon Pill in one gulp, refining it with Mystic Force. The Snow Demon Pill quickly exerted its overbearing effect.

Boom!

Murong Bai burst out with cold Mystic Force, soaring into the sky, freezing the world. His hair fluttered and turned pure white. The weather seemed to turn into the cold of winter in an instant, and the temperature was so low that water would turn into ice when sprinkled.

Fan Lang gave Murong Bai enough time to prepare, and only now did he officially start. He stretched out his arms, and the Sky Covering Hands in mid-air also opened up.

Murong Bai made a similar movement, also opening his arms.

The two of them waved their hands forward at the same time!

On one side was the huge Sky Covering Hand, and on the other side was the surging and fierce cold air.

The Sky Covering Hand slapped forward, and the cold air froze into a thick ice wall. The Sky Covering Hand slapped on the ice wall, shattering it with a destructive force, and countless ice blocks splashed open.

Murong Bai seized the opportunity to attack. With a flick of his right hand, a giant ice sword tens of meters long immediately froze in his hand. He waved the giant sword and slashed angrily at Fan Lang.

Fan Lang looked up, and one Sky Covering Hand immediately flew into the sky, opening its palm to grab the ice giant sword.

Crack!

The ice giant sword was crushed and shattered.

The other Sky Covering Hand clenched into a fist and punched towards Murong Bai. Murong Bai condensed a pair of cold air wings behind him, soared into the sky, avoiding this blow. He turned around, head down, and slapped the Arena below, releasing a semi-transparent zhào [cover/shield], enveloping the entire Arena.

Ice Seal!

The inside of the guāngzhào [light cover/shield] instantly froze, turning into a huge ice block.

This freezing was enough to be fatal, but it couldn't freeze a true expert.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and cracks appeared on the ice, the momentum of shattering intensified, until it completely shattered. Two Sky Covering Hands separated to the left and right, flicked away the broken ice, and dispersed the cold air. Fan Lang's figure reappeared, without suffering the slightest injury.

The series of confrontations just now had used Murong Bai's strongest strength, but he still couldn't hurt Fan Lang in the slightest.

In mid-air, Murong Bai revealed a desperate expression. Even if he took the Snow Demon Pill, he still couldn't make up for the huge gap. He didn't understand why such a powerful and perverted person would emerge in the world. This was simply not the strength that a Mystic Spirit Realm should have!

Fan Lang looked up at Murong Bai in mid-air and ordered, "Use that move you just used to condense the ice sword again, and we'll decide the victory with swords."

Because he was confident, he dared to issue such orders. As long as Fan Lang was willing, he could make Murong Bai fall to the ground at any time. Everything Murong Bai had done just now was the struggle of a weakling.

Murong Bai felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness, bit his teeth, raised his hand to the high sky, condensed all the surrounding cold air, squeezed the deepest Mystic Force in his body, and a giant ice sword gradually formed.

Fan Lang currently possesses three five-star skills, namely Shockwave, Sky Covering Hand, and Asura Swordplay. The first two have been used many times, and the third has not been officially used yet, so it can be used to finish.

The Sky Covering Hand disappeared, turning into spots of light.

Fan Lang drew the Li Kan Sword, lowered his body, assumed a sword-drawing posture, and a black aura faintly appeared behind him, forming a hideous Asura phantom.

Asura, one of the six paths, is fierce and combative, never-ending, and its battlefield is called the Asura Field, which has been slaughtering since the beginningless kalpa. The Asura Path is like heaven but not heaven, hearing the Buddha-dharma but unable to comprehend it, and is chénlún [sinking/mired] in endless fighting spirit.

Murong Bai's giant ice sword was completed, even more powerful than the one just now.

Fan Lang's Asura battle intent had also burned to its peak.

The two looked at each other, and at the same time made their moves, one waving his sword downwards, and the other waving his sword towards the sky. Fan Lang seemed to have transformed into an Asura, wielding his sword twice in a row, slashing out two black sword energies that crossed each other, the sword energy tearing through the air, ferocious and domineering.

Asura Swordplay·Non-Heaven!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black sword energy slashed towards Murong Bai, shattering the giant ice sword, and then slashed on Murong Bai himself.

Despite wearing inner armor, Murong Bai was still seriously injured, and blood spurted wildly from his wounds. He fell from the air and landed heavily on the arena that had already frozen into ice.

Blood spread on the ice, red and dazzling.

Fan Lang then landed, and the Asura phantom condensed by the fighting spirit grinned a few times before gradually fading away.

This sword marked the end of the Genius Battle.

[Player completed the task 'Only I am Arrogant', reward: 1 random 5-star Demon Pet, 20000 experience points.]

The system prompt sounded, declaring Fan Lang's victory.

Everything seemed to be over, but the mood of the crowd could not be calmed down.

The Entry Examination made Fan Lang famous in the City Lord's Mansion. Consecutive victories in the Underground Arena left him with an undefeated record. After this Genius Battle, his name will resound throughout Wind Cloud City, known to everyone.

Power, authority, fame, beauty, this is what a man seeks!
