Atop the enormous Martial Platform at the highest point, symbolizing the throne of first place, Luo Bai and Wan Junming stood tens of meters apart at opposite ends, staring at each other. The atmosphere was tense and heavy.
Even the air seemed to have frozen. Neither dared make a rash move, and neither wanted to be the first to break the deadlock.
Not long before, they had fought a heart-stopping battle, holding nothing back. The devastating moves unleashed in that clash had left both severely injured, but now they had tacitly chosen to hold their ground, buying precious time to regulate their breathing, replenish their energy, and recover their fighting strength.
After all, if they recklessly resumed their fight now, there was no telling who would win!
Time slipped quietly by. Before they knew it, more than ten minutes had passed, and the spectators below finally could no longer contain their excitement. They shouted for the two combatants to get moving and settle the contest.
Faced with such a fervent atmosphere and the pressure of voices surging toward them from every direction like a tide, Luo Bai and Wan Junming knew they could delay no longer.
Almost simultaneously, they exploded into motion, unleashing every technique they possessed without reservation. Bullets and sword shadows flashed and crossed, while powerful currents of energy and cutting winds howled through the air... It was a dazzling spectacle that left the audience struggling to take it all in!
This clash at the summit was far more spectacular than any previous match. Beyond the exceptional strength of both fighters, the more important reason was that each seemed to possess some mysterious "cheat" or unique secret technique. Their trump cards emerged like an inexhaustible trove of treasures, leaving their opponent unable to guard against them all.
