The two came on stage and greeted each other.

Star Selection Bureau officials briefly announced the rules and then retreated from the stage.

The battle begins.

Qin Tiexin was the first to take action. He had discussed with Li Yun before and knew that when facing an ice practitioner like Lan Lingwei, he must close the distance as soon as possible, otherwise he would be seeking death.

Mountain-Shaking Steps stepped out, the stone slab shattered, and the whole person rushed towards Lan Lingwei like an arrow from a string.

The route he chose was straight, without any detours, and he just wanted to rush through it as quickly as possible.

Lan Lingwei has rich combat experience and is mentally prepared.

As soon as he raised his hands, the ice under his feet quickly spread in all directions, and a layer of ice as smooth as a mirror instantly spread on the table.

Qin Tiexin stepped on it, the sole of his boot slipped on the ice, and his speed suddenly stagnated.

Then Lan Lingwei flipped his left hand, and several ice edges shot out from the ice at a tricky angle, hitting Qin Tiexin's ankle.

He made a mistake in his steps and forced a change of direction. The ice edge scraped across the soles of his boots and exploded into a piece of ice on the ice.

Qin Tiexin Stabilize your body and continue to rush forward.

The ice surface under his feet was slippery and stagnant, and ice edges alternately pierced out from different angles, some under the table and some from the side, forcing Qin Tiexin to constantly adjust his pace and change his rhythm.

The sliding of the ice greatly reduced his efficiency in exerting force. Every time he stepped down, half of his force was removed by the ice.

Qin Tiexin looked down at his feet. Although the ice surface was slippery, the ice layer was not thick, only an inch at most.

He stepped hard with his right foot, which added 20% more force. The ice beneath his feet suddenly shattered, and the broken ice scattered in all directions, revealing the Azure Gold-colored table underneath.

As he rushed forward, he shattered the ice and cleared a rough passage for himself, and his speed increased again.

Lan Lingwei was not surprised. She retreated, the water under her feet spread and froze, and she slid back on the ice.

Her speed was a bit faster than Qin Tiexin's footwork, and her figure was as light as a swallow, drawing a graceful arc on the table, always maintaining a distance of more than three feet from Qin Tiexin.

Qin Tiexin pursued, Lan Lingwei retreated.

The two chased and retreated, and circled most of the circle around the ring.

Qin Tiexin's footwork is extremely explosive, but Lan Lingwei's skating on the ice is more durable. She doesn't need to explode, she only needs to maintain a constant speed to steadily control the distance.

Qin Tiexin speeded up and approached several times, but Lan Lingwei slid away in the other direction, like a slippery fish.

On the third lap, Qin Tiexin saw that Qin Tiexin's speed had slowed down slightly, and Lan Lingwei suddenly stopped and retreated.

She put her hands together and formed a seal with her ten fingers, and the water under her feet surged upwards, forming dozens of arm-thick water columns beside her. The front end of the water column was as sharp as a spear, and the whole body was ice blue, with crystal light flowing.

Water Spear Technique.

Lan Lingwei Push forward with both hands.

Dozens of water cannons were shot out at the same time, and the sound of breaking through the air was as dense as rain, blocking all dodge angles of Qin Tiexin from all directions.

The water gun made a sharp whistling sound when it pierced the air, and the broken ice on the table was rolled up by the airflow, forming a sheet of ice mist.

Qin Tiexin He flipped his left hand, and Star Scar the short sword was unsheathed. The blade was black and silver, Star Scar flowing around, and there was a biting chill as soon as the knife was unsheathed.

The short sword was swung out.

The first knife smashed three water guns in the front. The water guns exploded and scattered ice and water mist.

The second sword swept across, and the water guns on the left and right sides were cut off simultaneously.

The third knife was tilted, and the remaining water guns shattered inch by inch in front of the blade. The Sharpness Spiritual Rune on the blade lit up, and Armor-Piercing Spirit Rune trembled. Although those water guns were solid as ice, in front of the Star Scar short knife, they were no different from paper.

Lan Lingwei's pupils shrank, this short sword was more powerful than she expected.

Qin Tiexin didn't stop after smashing the water gun, and continued to charge forward. The distance between the two people narrowed to two feet again.

Lan Lingwei His hands suddenly clasped together, his fingers flying around to form seals, and he drank in a low voice.

The water vapor around her was seen violently surging, and the water vapor in the air was instantly evacuated, forming a curtain of water in front of her.

The water curtain is completely transparent and as thin as a cicada's wing, but there are hundreds of layers on top of each other. Each layer is flowing slowly, like a living waterfall.

Spirit-Binding Water Curtain, Golden Core Realm Law Technique.

The water curtain unfolded, like a huge net covering Qin Tiexin. Qin Tiexin's short knife slashed horizontally, and the blade cut into the water curtain.

The first layer of water curtain was cut open by the blade, but the incision healed quickly.

On the second, third and fourth floors, each layer of water curtain was cut and then closed again in a very short time.

The water curtain is not fixed, it is flowing. After it is cut, the water will climb up the arm along the blade, like a vine wrapping around a tree, winding up along the Qin Tiexin meridians and the trajectory of Spiritual Qi's movement. Qin Tiexin's entire body will be wet by the water flow.

At this moment, Qin Tiexin felt that his spiritual power seemed to be a little stagnant.

After feeling it carefully, he discovered that the water curtain was not just blocking him. The water in the water curtain penetrated into the skin through the pores and entangled along the meridians. It was as if something had stuffed a handful of wet cotton into the meridians, and the flow of spiritual power became sluggish.

Dozens of layers of water curtain effects were superimposed, and the spiritual energy flow speed in Qin Tiexin's body was suppressed to less than 50%.

But he didn't stop. He continued to chop with the short sword and continued to advance with his feet.

The restraint of the water curtain did slow down his spiritual power, but his power has always relied mainly on Qi and Blood, not spiritual power.

Qi and Blood surged through the blood vessels, but the Sharpness of the short knife remained the same. He slashed seven times in a row, tore a gap in the water curtain, and rushed out from the gap.

Lan Lingwei's complexion changed.

Qin Tiexin is already approaching.

Inch Step·Blood Vortex Thrust.

Five-Direction Inch Steps stepped away, Burst Step rushed forward, his body suddenly dwarfed, and cut in from below Lan Lingwei's line of sight.

The short knife was held backwards, like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and it stabbed Lan Lingwei's waist and ribs. The speed, angle, and strength of this knife were all close to perfect. Even when the spiritual power was blocked, it was still fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Lan Lingwei used his hands to explore, and the two swords at his waist were unsheathed at the same time.

The blade of the sword was icy blue, with Cold Qi overflowing. The two swords were crossed, and the sword light flowed like water, and her whole body seemed to be integrated into the water.

Qin Tiexin stabbed out the knife, and the blade passed through Lan Lingwei's body, but only hit a phantom of flowing water.

The shadow shattered, water splashed everywhere, and the real Lan Lingwei appeared three feet to his left, slashing at him with two swords.

Golden Core Martial Arts·Billow Shadow Flowing Blade Body.

Lan Lingwei's figure turned into flowing water shadows one after another, flashing around Qin Tiexin.

Every phantom is filled with water energy, whether it is cutting or stabbing, it is difficult to distinguish the true and false. The real body is mixed in the afterimage, waiting for an opportunity to make a surprise attack.

Her Movement Method trajectory is completely traceless, left and right, up and down, her whole figure is like a snake made of water, soft to the extreme, and almost to the extreme.

Qin Tiexin struck three times in a row, but all three strikes only hit the afterimage, and the broken water splashed on his face, which was cold and biting.

The fourth and fifth cuts still failed.

Lan Lingwei's real body, under the cover of the afterimage, pounced from behind him twice, slashing his shoulder with one knife and slicing his back with the other.

Two blood scars opened at the same time, and blood seeped out.
