Blazing Flame Saber Technique

Seeing Lin Xiao step onto the platform, Su Mo's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"Lin Xiao, your strength isn't weak; you're worthy of me going all out."

Su Mo's eyes were full of mirth as he deliberately spoke loudly.

"Hmph! Even if you go all out, don't think you can defeat me easily."

Lin Xiao snorted coldly.

"Is that so?"

Su Mo smiled and said loudly, "Then I really must give it my all! Make your move, Lin Xiao."

Hoo!

Lin Xiao's expression turned serious. Without further ado, he circulated his True Qi throughout his body and struck out ferociously. His palm, carrying a formidable palm wind, shot towards Su Mo.

As the rapidly enlarging palm approached him, a cold glint flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

How dare you set your sights on Xi'er? Today, I'll make you pay some interest.

He clenched his fist and immediately unleashed a powerful punch.

A blazing fist light, imbued with an unstoppable momentum, struck towards Lin Xiao.

The power of Su Mo's punch was twice as strong as the one that had defeated Su Yu earlier.

Let alone Lin Xiao's inferior strength compared to Su Yu, even if he were slightly stronger, he would be severely injured by this punch.

Crack!

"Ah!"

As expected, Lin Xiao was no match for Su Mo, not even for a single exchange. His arm was directly shattered, and he was sent flying by the punch, letting out a scream as blood spurted from his mouth.

The crimson blood left a several-meter-long streak on the fighting stage.

He crashed heavily onto the ground below the platform, severely wounded and unable to get up for a long time.

The entire venue fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Su Mo in disbelief, their faces showing strange expressions.

"For the subsequent matches, everyone, please hold back. Do not intentionally injure others. Violators will be severely punished!"

Lin Sheng's earlier words still echoed in their ears.

However, Su Mo had now severely injured Lin Xiao. Wasn't this a blatant slap in the City Lord's face?

"Good heavens, Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be so easily defeated! You couldn't even take one of my punches!"

Su Mo walked forward with a look of surprise, saying self-reproachfully, "It's my fault. If I had known you were so weak, I should have only used ten percent of my strength."

"You... cough cough!"

The severely injured Lin Xiao was enraged. Just as he was about to retort, he coughed up more blood.

How could he not know that Su Mo had intentionally injured him?

Last time, when he sent people to kill Su Mo, they never returned, and their bodies couldn't even be found.

He knew Su Mo must have already found out that he was the mastermind behind it, and this was his revenge.

But even knowing this, he couldn't voice it.

Now, not only had Su Mo severely injured him, but his words were also filled with humiliation.

He immediately felt incredibly stifled, anger surged in his heart, and his throat felt sweet again, worsening his injuries by another three points.

"Presumptuous!"

Just then, a furious roar came from the northern spectator stands. Lin Sheng's face was flushed with anger, and with a snap, he crushed the armrest of the chair beneath him.

"Su Mo, how could you be so ruthless? Did you take my words as mere wind?"

Lin Sheng's face was grim as he roared.

Not only had Su Mo disregarded his words, but he had also injured his son, making his own face burn.

"City Lord, I did not intentionally injure him!"

Su Mo's expression was calm as he explained, "As you saw, I thought Lin Xiao was very strong and intended to fight him with all my might. I didn't expect him to be so weak, which is why I accidentally injured him."

"You... you are so cruel and heartless, yet you still dare to quibble?"

Lin Sheng was furious, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"City Lord Lin, please do not be angered."

Su Hong spoke up, a look of apology on his face. "Although my son injured your esteemed son, it was not intentional. It was an accident, as everyone witnessed. I hope the City Lord will be magnanimous."

"Hmph! Su Hong, you say it so lightly. It's not your son who's injured!"

Lin Sheng snorted coldly.

"City Lord, your son's injuries are the priority right now. After the Martial Arts Competition concludes, I will personally apologize to your son on Mo'er's behalf."

Su Hong's words were flawless, giving Lin Sheng face and an out.

Lin Sheng naturally couldn't say much more. With a cold snort, he could only have people carry Lin Xiao away.

"Next, we begin the third round of battles!"

Lin De announced, "There are still seven people remaining. After eliminating four more, we will decide the top three for this Martial Arts Competition."

"Now, you seven will draw lots again. There are seven bamboo slips in total. Number one fights number two, number three fights number four, number five fights number six, and number seven can choose any opponent."

Lin De took out several bamboo slips again.

Su Mo and the others drew their lots one by one.

This time, Su Mo drew number six.

After everyone had drawn, Lin De shouted, "The third round of battles now begins. Number one and number two, please take the stage."

The number one contestant was Lin Qiong, and her opponent was also a disciple from the Lin family.

"I concede."

This Lin family disciple sighed helplessly. He had originally fantasized that if he luckily encountered Su Mo in this round, he could enter the top three.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. If he had encountered anyone else, even if he was defeated, he would have fought.

But Lin Qiong was from the City Lord's Mansion, just like him. They had already fought privately, so there was no need to fight again.

"Number three and number four contestants, please take the stage."

The number three contestant was Wei Rufeng, and the number four contestant was Su Hai from the Su family.

"Su Hai, you are no match for me!"

As soon as Wei Rufeng stepped onto the stage, he looked down at Su Hai and spoke arrogantly.

"Is that so? Strength isn't proven with words!"

Su Hai replied.

"Hmph! Stubborn fool, I'll let you see the gap between us."

Wei Rufeng sneered and said, "You are qualified to make me use the Blazing Sun Sect's Blazing Flame Saber Technique."

Su Hai frowned, glanced at Wei Rufeng, and said, "Then make your move!"

Wei Rufeng gently raised his right hand, and scorching airflow immediately erupted from his palm. His palm seemed to turn into a hot iron, burning with a faint flame.

"To deal with you, my palm is enough!"

Wei Rufeng smiled proudly, moved his feet, and his body shot into the sky.

"Be defeated!"

Wei Rufeng, in mid-air, moved his arm and slashed several times. Countless saber shadows were swung towards Su Hai.

Ching!

The saber qi cut through the air, layer upon layer. The scorching temperature distorted space itself.

Wei Rufeng's move was indeed powerful. Even a peak Martial Artist at the eighth level of Qi Refining would be instantly defeated by this move.

"Arrogant! Break for me!"

Wei Rufeng's contempt enraged Su Hai. His fists shot out like cannonballs, shattering all of the opponent's saber qi.

Explosions erupted on the stage, and turbulent energy currents swirled everywhere.

"Blazing Sun Over the Sky!"

Wei Rufeng seized the opportunity to rush to Su Hai's side and suddenly slashed down. The blazing flame burning on his palm caused Su Hai to feel a burning pain even before the attack reached him.

"So strong!"

Wei Rufeng's power put immense pressure on Su Hai.

"Thunderclap Fist!"

Su Hai unleashed his full strength to meet Wei Rufeng's attack.

Bang!

Fist met saber, and Su Hai was forced back several steps.

"Be defeated!"

Wei Rufeng roared and charged forward, slashing three times in succession.

"Blazing Sun Triple Slash!"

Three peerless saber lights tore through the air, each stronger than the last, one following the other, descending upon Su Hai.

Su Hai's pupils contracted, and an extremely dangerous feeling spread throughout his body.

"Thunderous Might!"

Su Hai didn't dare to be careless, using his strongest move. He swung his fist like lightning, as if thunder was roaring.
