Seeing that Gongyang Yi had conceded defeat, Zheng Xiuyun flew onto the arena. She said to Jiang Liu, "I didn't have a chance to fight you last time in the secret realm. Now that we're both Grandmaster Realm, let's settle this once and for all."
Jiang Liu slowly nodded and drew his broadsword. Zheng Yunxiu, on the other hand, drew her longsword, pointed it at Jiang Liu, and slashed it, a gust of wind flashing past.
Jiang Liu casually slashed with his broadsword, scattering the sword wind. Then, wielding his sword with both hands, he unleashed the Heaven and Earth One Blade Chop Slash, a huge blade of light flashing out and slashing straight towards Zheng Yunxiu.
Zheng Yunxiu twirled her longsword, and a chilling sword light flashed out, colliding with Jiang Liu's saber light in mid-air.
Jiang Liu watched the sword and saber lights dissipate in mid-air and immediately realized that this was also an opponent of similar strength to himself.
If Jiang Liu weren't afraid of accidentally killing his opponent with his Ice Blade, he would have loved to launch a few sneak attacks to test its power.
The Ice Blade are now much more powerful than when I was at the Martial Practitioner Realm, especially after a month of special training in the mountains.
However, he dared not use it under the watchful eyes of everyone, especially with the elders of the Zheng Family present.
Jiang Liu sheathed his broadsword. Since swordsmanship wouldn't work, he would have to try using a combination of fist and palm techniques.
Jiang Liu flashed forward and closed in, unleashing an Extreme Fist at Zheng Yunxiu.
A fist gust of wind, accompanied by the roar of a tiger, slammed towards Zheng Yunxiu. Zheng Yunxiu was slightly taken aback, and then quickly raised her sword to retaliate.
Jiang Liu was delighted to see this; it seemed that Zheng Yunxiu's spiritual cultivation was far inferior to that of the Buddha.
Jiang Liu immediately unleashed a barrage of Extreme Fist, and Zheng Yunxiu was quickly exhausted. Each time she was hit by the Tiger's Roar of Extreme Fist, her mind would be momentarily stunned, and she would be half a beat slower in defending herself.
Seeing this, Jiang Liu knew that it was about time. He stepped forward and unleashed a powerful aura of the Eight Steps of Trampling, which enveloped Zheng Yunxiu. Jiang Liu then unleashed another Extreme Fist.
This time, Zheng Yunxiu was caught off guard and was directly blasted off the stage by Jiang Liu.
Zheng Xueyi, the head of the Zheng Family, immediately flew forward to take Zheng Yunxiu away. He glanced at Jiang Liu with a slight frown, but said nothing.
Zheng Xueyi quickly checked Zheng Yunxiu's injuries and found that she was not seriously injured; she had only been knocked off the stage by the force of a punch. He was relieved, but when he looked at Jiang Liu Zheng Xueyi, his expression turned grim.
Jiang Liu had no time to pay attention to him; he simply stood on the arena, silently recovering the energy he had lost in the battle.
Seeing that Jiang Liu showed no intention of resting, Elder Nangong said, "Next, let's continue."
Xuan Lun bowed to Jiang Liu from below the arena and then conceded defeat. Even their Buddhist disciple, Buddha, had lost to Jiang Liu, so he wouldn't go up and make a fool of himself.
Next up was Qiu Fei from Medicine King Valley. Qiu Fei immediately conceded defeat right below the arena. However, Qiu Hai sent a telepathic message to Jiang Liu, asking Jiang Liu to visit Medicine King Valley when he had time.
Jiang Liu turned his head and saw Qiu Tian, the Grandmaster of Medicine King Valley, nodding at him. He thought to himself, "That must be Uncle Hai's father!" The current Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is Uncle Hai's elder brother Qiu Lin, while Qiu Tian is no longer the Valley Master.
Jiang Liu nodded to Qiu Fei, which was considered an agreement.
Next, it was Chen Yuke's turn. Seeing that Qiu Fei had already admitted defeat, she stomped her foot on the ground and jumped onto the ring.
Chen Yuke drew her longsword and pointed it at Jiang Liu, saying, "Do you want me to give you time to recover? I don't want to take advantage of someone in distress."
Jiang Liu shook his head, drew his broadsword, and said, "Let's begin!"
"Alright!" Before Chen Yuke finished speaking, she took the initiative to attack, her longsword flashing as she charged towards Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu quickly raised his broadsword to defend, but once Chen Yuke launched his attack, his longsword continued to strike continuously, demonstrating a deep understanding of the essence of the Surging Wave Swordplay.
Immediately, a series of sounds of weapons clashing between the two men rang out from the arena.
Jiang Liu could only defend quickly, otherwise he might be stabbed by the longsword if he was not careful.
This time, it was Jiang Liu's turn to be busy dealing with the attacks, while Chen Yuke launched dozens of attacks without taking a break.
"Whoosh!" Jiang Liu finally made a careless move and was stabbed in the arm, blood flowing freely.
Jiang Liu had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep going, but soon he could no longer keep up with Chen Yuke's speed.
Jiang Liu hardened his heart and simply swung his broadsword at Chen Yuke. Chen Yuke dodged to the side, and the attack slowed down.
Jiang Liu seized the opportunity Control Heaven and Earth a powerful strike with his right hand, pulling Chen Yuke's longsword to the side. Then, he unleashed an Extreme Fist with his left fist.
"Thump!" It struck Chen Yuke's protective aura shield directly, but it also knocked Chen Yuke back.
Jiang Liu lunged forward, continuing to bombard Chen Yuke with a series of blows, his right palm and left fist.
Chen Yuke immediately felt uncomfortable. Although such attacks could not hurt her, she would be knocked off the stage in no time.
Chen Yuke leaped and tried to dodge behind Jiang Liu immediately used a move called "Control Heaven and Earth" to envelop Chen Yuke.
Chen Yuke grabbed Jiang Liu mid-air and Jiang Liu Chen Yuke onto the ring with a loud thud.
At this moment, Chen Yuke felt like she wanted to die. To think that she, a beautiful woman, had been thrown like a turtle onto the ring was a feeling she had never experienced before.
Jiang Liu ignored what she was thinking, flew forward, and took advantage of Chen Yuke's distraction to kick her out of the ring.
This kick completely offended Chen Yuke. The kick itself wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting.
Chen Yuke stood up from below the ring and glared fiercely at Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu didn't have time to pay attention to her; he needed to bandage his wounds quickly.
Chen Bo, the leader of the Heaven One Sect, watched Jiang Liu with great interest from below the stage. He was quite pleased that his proud and arrogant daughter finally had someone to tame her.
As for his daughter being defeated in this way, he didn't care at all. After all, when martial artists fight to the death, anything can happen.
After Elder Nangong finished bandaging Jiang Liu, seeing that Jiang Liu still wanted to continue, he immediately said loudly, "Twenty-four, continue."
Then, Ghost Hand, with a black cloak covering his head and a black cape over his shoulders, leaped onto the arena.
"Ghost Hand Ghost School, please enlighten me." Ghost Hand bowed to Jiang Liu perfunctorily after leaping onto the arena.
"Jiang Liu, please enlighten me." After saying this, Jiang Liu immediately launched an attack. He took six steps forward, and a powerful aura of the Eight Steps of Trampling locked onto the Ghost Hand, followed by an Extreme Fist strike towards him.
Ghost Hand was locked in by Jiang Liu's Eight Steps of Trampling and broke free in no time, but Jiang Liu's fist arrived as well.
"Bang!" Before Ghost Hand could even stand up, Jiang Liu blasted him off the stage.
Feng, watching from below the stage, frowned as he looked at Ghost Hand, probably inwardly blaming him. Since he couldn't even beat Chen Yuke, he shouldn't be making a fool of himself on the stage.
Qing Hezi, who was last in line, sighed as he watched Ghost Hand being punched off the stage. He decided to admit defeat right there below the stage, as he didn't want to lose face.
With this, Jiang Liu achieved a perfect record of 24 wins, placing him in first place.
When Elder Nangong announced this result, everyone looked at Jiang Liu with amazement. Among the genius martial artists participating in the Martial Arts Tournament, Jiang Liu was the youngest, yet Jiang Liu won first place.
Old Man Luo looked at Jiang Liu with a happy expression. He hadn't expected Jiang Liu to win first place. The Murong Family had become famous this time at the Ascension Tower.
Although Jiang Liu has already won first place, the Martial Arts Tournament still needs to continue, since they have already faced off in the previous round.
Jiang Liu returned to his seat to recover his depleted energy. The bleeding from the wound on his arm had stopped, but the main problem was the greater depletion of his mental energy.
