The moment his words fell:
Chen Qingyu rode his auspicious cloud, rising over a hundred zhang into the sky in an instant.
With this, he held an absolute advantage!
Even if he stayed in the sky and unleashed [Flying Sand and Moving Stones] from far above, the powerful recovery of [Qi Absorption in Nine Breaths] would keep him undefeated.
On the ground:
Watching Chen Qingyu fly higher and higher, Chen Qinggu frowned for the first time, a trace of gravity appearing on his face.
"This is bad!"
"Right! Chen Shaojun has far too great an advantage now!"
"Could Chen Qinggu actually lose?"
"No way! He's held first place for so many years. How could he not have a few trump cards tucked away?"
In the spectator space, everyone talked over one another, their eyes fixed unblinkingly on the battlefield.
This battle:
Although fewer than three breaths had passed since it began, its twists and turns had come as swiftly as a hare sprang and a magpie swooped, leaving the spectators thrilled and breathless.
"Lose?"
Watching the battlefield, Chen Qingju's lips curled slightly.
"You lot still don't know younger cousin Qinggu's true trump card."
On the battlefield:
"Come on!"
Riding his auspicious cloud, Chen Qingyu finally stopped over a hundred zhang in the air, preparing to unleash [Flying Sand and Moving Stones].
At this distance, his great divine ability, [Flying Sand and Moving Stones], could cover the ground below, and its power would remain formidable, without diminishing too much.
But just then:
After glancing at the ground, Chen Qingyu was utterly dumbstruck.
With a grave expression, Chen Qinggu shot into the sky, rising straight off the ground.
Like a cannonball, he charged straight toward him. He had not jumped-he was flying!
He can fly? He can actually fly?
Chen Qingyu was caught quite off guard.
Among the Four Physical Body Realms, only Golden Bridge Realm grandmasters could remain airborne briefly and glide on the wind.
Of the rest, only those born of the dragon race with innate divine abilities, or cheaters like himself, could truly fly through the skies.
Yet Chen Qinggu could fly too. Could he also be using cheats?
But Chen Qingyu quickly reacted, his attention swiftly locking onto the pale blue halo around Chen Qinggu.
So he reversed the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism, turning the earth's attraction into repulsion.
But trying to match my maneuverability with that kind of flight is an idiot's dream.
He quickly calmed himself. With a thought, the auspicious cloud beneath his feet immediately sped away, about to put distance between him and Chen Qinggu.
I can wear you down to death just by kiting you!
But the very next instant, something changed again:
Chen Qinggu, flying through midair, actually changed direction and chased straight after him, his speed and maneuverability even more outrageous than the auspicious cloud's.
This already defied the rules of the earth's repulsion. He was practically finding purchase in empty air!
What?!
Chen Qingyu was shocked.
Before he could react further, the astonishingly fast Chen Qinggu had already charged up to him.
"Then come on!"
Fierce fighting spirit blazed in Chen Qingyu's eyes. Without dodging or retreating, he charged straight toward him.
Having comprehended the mysteries of Primal Magnetism, his Celestial Star Attraction Method could reverse the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism, though not as skillfully as Chen Qinggu.
If he landed on the ground, he would undoubtedly be suppressed throughout the fight. However tough his body was, he would be battered apart.
But in an aerial battle, he was fully confident.
Boom!
In an instant, the two figures, one black and one white, collided with a thunderous crash like Mars striking Earth.
Thud! Bang! Boom!
In the blink of an eye, the two exchanged over a dozen rounds, their fists leaving afterimages, their bodies constantly twisting and shifting as streams of True Qi burst and spread.
What Chen Qingyu had not expected was:
Even at such close range, he still could not fathom the secret behind Chen Qinggu's flight. Even the Celestial Star Attraction Method seemed to have failed, finding only emptiness where it struck, utterly unable to reverse the geomagnetic force.
And likewise-
After taking flight through the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism, Chen Qinggu had also lost his greatest advantage on the ground.
This left them with no choice but to trade flesh-pounding blows, clashing head-on in the most primitive fashion in a bloody battle!
Bang! Bang!
The two continued their ferocious battle.
Chen Qingyu's fist techniques were far inferior to Chen Qinggu's. In their head-on exchanges, he was often reduced to taking blows, and soon he was covered in wounds.
But he still made no sound. His eyes red, he stubbornly endured Chen Qinggu's attacks, trading injury for injury.
I can take more punishment than you!
When we reach the end, I'll still be the one who wins!
The toughness of Chen Shaojun's body makes him an absolute monster.
Even the legendary Great Radiance Body Refining Method shouldn't be this absurd, should it?
A profound sense of absurdity rose in Chen Qinggu's heart.
With his major accomplishment in fist techniques, he often landed five or six punches on Chen Shaojun before taking one himself, and he could even use the power of Earth Star Primal Magnetism to dissipate most of its force.
Yet even so, as they fought on-
He suddenly felt unable to keep up.
He had already thrown over a hundred punches. Even a man of refined steel would have been smashed into scrap.
Yet Chen Shaojun opposite him was still merely covered in wounds, without a single serious injury.
Boom, boom, boom!
Amid their relentless exchanges, Chen Qinggu rapidly fell into a disadvantage at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In contrast, despite taking so many punches, Chen Qingyu remained as lively as a dragon and a tiger, fierce as hell.
"Ora, ora, ora, ora!"
Chen Qingyu grew stronger as he fought, his experience with fist techniques increasing rapidly. Relying on his incomparably powerful physique, he had already completely suppressed Chen Qinggu, and roared repeatedly in excitement:
"Ora!!"
At the end of their exchanges, Chen Qingyu gathered his momentum into a punch and finally landed a solid blow on Chen Qinggu.
Chen Qinggu immediately plummeted from the sky like a meteor, smashing a huge crater into the ground as dust billowed.
At this point in their fierce battle, victory and defeat were decided.
Chen Qingyu rode his auspicious cloud slowly down from the sky. Though his face was bruised and swollen and his body covered in wounds, he smiled happily.
"Older cousin Qinggu, you lost."
The dust in the huge crater cleared. Chen Qinggu lay at the bottom, coughing blood, his tendons and bones broken throughout his body. With difficulty, he smiled.
"Yes, I... I lost..."
Chen Qingyu landed on the ground and spoke sincerely:
"In this battle, you only lost because your cultivation method wasn't as good as mine, leaving you with less True Qi and a body that wasn't strong enough."
"If we really fought with real blades and spears, in a fair contest, I might not be your match."
By the end of the fierce battle, maintaining so many martial techniques and methods at once had clearly exhausted Chen Qinggu's True Qi. He no longer even had the strength to maintain Earth Star Primal Magnetism.
That was why he had taken Chen Qingyu's full-force punch head-on, suffering a crushing defeat and falling from the sky.
"No."
Chen Qinggu abruptly sat up and laughed heartily.
"A loss is a loss!"
"That was a satisfying fight, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly!"
"Younger cousin Shaojun, let's meet outside the [Combat Victory Platform] and have a good drink!"
As his words fell:
The backlash from forcibly driving his True Qi arrived. His breath immediately ceased, and his entire broken body turned into a streak of white light and vanished.
"Sure. A drink after the fight."
Chen Qingyu smiled faintly.
You won this battle! Since neither side wagered Great Void Points on this battle, you cannot receive a victory reward. This battle has ended. The spectator count reached its limit. Your share of the spectator fees is fifty thousand Great Void Points!
The cold, mechanical voice rang out between the starry sky and the sea of grass, suddenly becoming grand and sonorous:
Congratulations! You have entered the Combat Victory Rankings of [Divine Capital Changluo]! Your current rank is first! Congratulations! You have entered the Overall Combat Victory Rankings of [Blood Sea Heaven]! Your current rank is fifth!
