Xiahou Yi was startled when Jiang Liu's blade came straight at him. He quickly stepped back.
But now that Jiang Liu had gained the upper hand, how could he possibly evade it so easily? Xiahou Yi's figure hadn't retreated far when Jiang Liu's figure arrived right after.
Jiang Liu threw a punch at Xiahou Yi with his left hand. A fist phantom appeared and slammed straight towards Xiahou Yi's face.
Xiahou Yi was startled. He retreated while quickly gathering his energy. He lashed out with the ribbon in his left hand towards Jiang Liu, while his right hand struck out with a palm to meet Jiang Liu's fist.
"Bang!" The two exchanged blows, and Xiahou Yi's ribbon wrapped around Jiang Liu's broadsword.
Both of them paused for a moment, with Xiahou Yi taking five steps back before regaining his balance.
"Swoosh!" The ribbon snapped, Jiang Liu's right hand remained firmly gripping the broadsword.
Jiang Liu sheathed his broadsword, leaped into the air, gathered his energy in his right hand, and instantly the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees. He unleashed a move called the Frost Nether Palm, aiming straight for Xiahou Yi's head.
Although Xiahou Yi was knocked back five steps by Jiang Liu, he managed to escape Jiang Liu's pursuit. Seeing that the ribbon on his left hand was broken, he immediately waved his right hand, and the ribbon wrapped around Jiang Liu in mid-air.
With a flick of his left hand, he produced three thin needles, infused them with vital energy, and then flung them towards Jiang Liu, who was in mid-air. With a push of his feet, Xiahou Yi shot directly towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu clenched his left fist and punched out, creating a loud blast. As soon as his right palm touched the needles, the three needles were frozen. He continued to slap down with his right palm, while his left fist blasted the ribbon back.
"Thump!" Xiahou Yi and Jiang Liu collided in mid-air, and both of them automatically activated their protective energy shields.
Jiang Liu's right palm struck Xiahou Yi 'Xiahou Yi protective aura shield, shattering it with a "crack!" and the Frost Nether Palm attack also came to an end.
The two in the air shot back in opposite directions. Jiang Liu took advantage of the Eight Steps of Trampling, taking six steps in a row, and his aura enveloped Xiahou Yi.
Xiahou Yi was knocked to the ground. After landing and regaining his balance, he was about to continue his attack on Jiang Liu when he suddenly felt that he could not move.
Jiang Liu had already landed on Xiahou Yi's head, and his huge foot stomped down on Xiahou Yi's head, followed by a powerful kick.
Just as Xiahou Yi felt the oppressive aura around him ease, before he could even make a move, he felt a powerful force kick him off the stage.
The audience stared at Jiang Liu in disbelief, a commotion erupting and a flurry of discussion.
"Wow! Jiang Liu really went all out, stepping on that beautiful woman's head and kicking her off the stage."
"I feel that Jiang Liu is a true man, completely unmoved by beauty!"
"What a great opportunity! If it were me, I would definitely withdraw my power and hug him."
"Stop talking nonsense, you're not even qualified to participate."
On the side of the stands, Cuier looked at Jiang Liu with a happy expression, shaking her hand at Murong Yin, "Miss, the young master is really amazing, he kicked Xiahou Yi down in just a few moves!" She then waved her hand.
Murong Yin looked at Jiang Liu with a smile on her face, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Jiang Liu didn't linger. After confirming that Xiahou Yi had landed, he leaped back to the stands.
Xiahou Yi finally regained her balance, turned around and glared fiercely at Jiang Liu, then turned back to the stands. Although she had lost a match, the next competition was simply to compete for the bottom five spots.
Since this is a ranked battle that has already been qualified, no deaths are allowed, and this time the Grandmaster is personally supervising.
Afterwards, He Wentian and Duo Yi went up onto the arena.
As soon as they stepped onto the arena, they revealed their weapons. He Wentian used a sword, Duo Yi revealed his strange weapon.
The two immediately focused their energy on their weapons and began to clash, instantly making the battle on the arena lively with continuous booming sounds and surging energy.
After the two exchanged blows for nearly a quarter of an hour, He Wentian finally proved superior, knocking Duo Yi off the stage with a single sword strike.
Duo Yi clutched his wound below the stage, glaring hatefully at He Wentian. He Wentian ignored him completely and turned to leave the arena.
Then Blade Fiend and Li Wenyuan jumped onto the arena.
As soon as Blade Fiend stepped onto the arena, he drew his broadsword and began to gather his energy, without taking the initiative to attack Li Wenyuan.
Li Wenyuan opened the iron fan in his hand, and a gust of energy shot straight towards Blade Fiend.
With a casual Blade Fiend dispersed Li Wenyuan's energy attack.
Li Wenyuan closed his fan and continued his attack on Blade Fiend. Just as he was about to reach Blade Fiend, the fan suddenly opened and a mist appeared, enveloping Blade Fiend.
At this moment, Blade Fiend raised his broadsword, swung it in a half-circle, and the sword shadow appeared, blocking the mist. A broadsword formed from primordial energy continued to slash towards Li Wenyuan.
The Grandmaster in the stands lit up and all looked at the Valley Master of Exotic Weapon Valley.
Bo Ye looked at Blade Fiend and said, "It seems that your Exotic Weapon Valley will soon produce a young Grandmaster Realm!"
The Valley Master of Exotic Weapon Valley looked at Blade Fiend with satisfaction and replied, "My disciple has just achieved the unity of the five elements and has not yet reached perfection. He still needs to continue to hone his skills. Entering the Grandmaster realm is not so easy."
On the arena, Li Wenyuan was caught off guard and seriously injured by Dao Kuang's Blade Fiend. Fortunately, he activated his protective energy shield in time, otherwise he would have been cut in two instead of seriously injured.
Severely injured, Li Wenyuan was unable to fight any longer and had no choice but to admit defeat and leave the arena. Blade Fiend also left the arena.
Seeing Blade Fiend leave the arena, Han Kesong leaped onto it, his robes fluttering in the wind, and stood above the arena. "Wang Yisheng, hurry up, don't waste everyone's time!"
Wang Yisheng, who was about to get up, suddenly became furious. "You want to show off and climb over me to get ahead?" He then channeled his energy throughout his body and shot forward at high speed, crashing directly into Han Kesong.
Although Han Kesong seemed completely unconcerned, he was actually on guard the whole time. As soon as he saw Wang Yisheng flying towards him, he quickly raised both palms and used his strength to strike Wang Yisheng.
"Boom!" With a clash of palms, Han Kesong screamed and flew backwards off the stage, while Wang Yisheng flipped over in mid-air and stood on the stage.
The audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Han Kesong thought he was so great, but he was blasted away in one move.
Han Kesong, sitting in the audience, buried his head in the ground, his face full of shame, and then fainted.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng immediately turned around and left the arena.
Zheng Hanwei and Ji Feng then stepped onto the arena. As soon as they arrived, Ji Feng cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zheng, although my strength is not as good as yours, I would like to ask you for a few pointers!"
Zheng Hanwei nodded faintly and said nothing.
One was dressed in blue and wielded a large knife, while the other was dressed in black and wielded a long sword. Before long, the arena was filled with the glint of swords and the two began to fight back and forth.
The two fought for about half an hour before Zheng Hanwei placed his broadsword against Ji Feng's neck.
Ji Feng had no choice but to sheathe his sword and admit defeat.
Thus, the top five in the Martial Arts Tournament have been determined: Jiang Liu, He Wentian, Blade Fiend, Wang Yisheng, Zheng Hanwei.
The bottom five are Xiahou Yi, Duo Yi, Li Wenyuan, Han Kesong, Ji Feng.
