Chapter 1294 - 1291: Cao Li vs Luo Feng!

Boom...

Yang Wanyi waved her hand, flames swept through, a hot wind blew through the entire valley, and the imposing Cold Moon Sword Qi was instantly burned to nothingness, returning to pure heaven and earth Yuan Qi.

"Cold Moon Over Azure Sky is a lethal technique of the Heavenly Girl Cold Moon Sword, but it was so easily blocked by Yang Wanyi." A spectator exclaimed.

Most people were of the same mind, but no one commented, all gathered to watch intently the two opponents on the platform, worried that speaking might cause them to miss an exciting moment.

"Wind Moon Turn!"

Seeing her fatal move broken, Fei Xueyan became a bit agitated, softly exclaimed, and her figure lightly spun half a circle in midair, her Cold Snake Sword swinging out along.

Swoosh!

A massive Cold Moon Sword Qi pierced through the void, carrying a chilling cold aura that freezes everything, slashing towards Yang Wanyi’s left arm.

"Shatter!"

Yang Wanyi turned her gaze, and grasped the void with one hand.

Buzz!

The surrounding fierce flames transformed into a giant flame hand, directly grabbing the Cold Moon Sword Qi and burning it to nothingness.

"Daluo Burning Palm!"

After incinerating the Cold Moon Sword Qi, Yang Wanyi did not pause, took a step forward, her delicate jade-like right hand vertical as a palm, striking out in midair.

Buzz!

A blaze of bright light so intense it was blinding, a crimson streak sweeping across the platform.

Boom!

On Fei Xueyan’s side, the originally frozen water flow instantly melted, bursting into a spectacular wave, then the entire valley rained heavily, pattering against Fei Xueyan’s protective Gang Qi, creating crisp crackling sounds.

Glancing to the side, Fei Xueyan took a light breath.

Beside her on the platform, there was a several-meter-wide groove extending to the platform’s edge, its ground charred black, with some places still stained a crimson hue.

"I admit defeat."

Retracting her gaze, Fei Xueyan decisively abandoned further combat intentions.

"Earlier your Cold Moon Over Azure Sky broke my Nine Sun Heaven Net, your Heavenly Girl Cold Moon Sword should already have reached Great Accomplishment," Yang Wanyi smiled as her Nine Suns Burn Demon Clothes gradually withdrew.

Fei Xueyan returned the Cold Snake Sword to its sheath, shook her head, "Still a bit away from Great Accomplishment, breaking your Nine Sun Heaven Net owed half to this Cold Snake Sword. Without external aid, I definitely couldn’t withstand Nine Sun Heaven Net’s strike."

"No need for modesty, my victory over you owes likewise to external aid."

Yang Wanyi naturally referred to the ancient Ferocious Fire ’Emperor Heart Sky-Burning Flame’, without which defeating Fei Xueyan wouldn’t be so effortless.

Recalling that terrifying oppression, Fei Xueyan thought silently: That’s not mere external aid...

"When Waner unleashed the Crystal Palace, her strength nearly advanced a whole realm, enough to contend with Martial Artists at the late peak of True Yuan Realm’s second level. But the aura emanating from that Crystal Palace is too sinister and domineering, hope it won’t affect her negatively..."

Luo Feng watched Yang Wanyi descending the platform, recalling the eerie aura concealed within the Crystal Palace, thoughts flickering in his mind.

"Tsk tsk, this year the Six Southern Domains truly are brimming with talent, a young Luo Feng has already broken through to True Yuan Realm’s third level late stage, his cultivation leaving others far behind, surpassing the youthful prodigies of the other twelve Golden Palaces. Now Yang Wanyi casually defeats Fei Xueyan, seemingly not yet exerting full effort, her potential is astonishing, future achievements are limitless."

"The previous few rounds of the South versus North Martial Arts Tournament were dominated by the geniuses of Six Northern Domains, this year the Six Southern Domains are turning the tables."

"Such words are spoken too soon, the real contest in the South versus North Martial Arts Tournament is between the First Winged Tiger and the First New Dragon, the previous was merely an appetizer, the coming clash between Luo Feng and Cao Li is the main dish."

"Indeed, who knows which of the two will emerge victorious."

"From cultivation perspective, Luo Feng has the better odds, but Cao Li’s fight with Jian Wuji ended in just two strikes, his strength equally unfathomable. At this level of genius, a one or two tier cultivation gap can’t yet determine victory or defeat, only after they fight will we know who truly has the upper hand."

With the duel between Fei Xueyan and Yang Wanyi concluded, excitement in the valley grew ever more intense, eager for the confrontation between Luo Feng and Cao Li.

The twelve Golden Palaces youth experts present felt the same, after Yang Wanyi and Fei Xueyan left the stage, no one stepped forward to challenge for a moment.

Shui Linglong knew the timing was right, darted onto the platform, and smiled: "Since no one else steps up to challenge, the sparring demonstration ends here. Next is the official South versus North Martial Arts Tournament."

"Shui Linglong, we can’t wait, let’s start quickly."

"Indeed, time waits for no one."

Hearing Shui Linglong’s words, the spectators immediately shouted impatiently.

Shui Linglong smiled slightly without further ado, announcing: "The South versus North Martial Arts Tournament officially begins, please welcome the First Winged Tiger from Six Northern Domains and the First New Dragon from Six Southern Domains onto the stage."

Bang!

As soon as the words fell, a massive wave of sound shot skyward, causing the entire valley to hum and resonate, countless eager eyes turned towards Luo Feng and Cao Li.

"Luo Feng!"

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, go for it!"

As Luo Feng rose from his seat, nearby Six Southern Domains Golden Palace disciples immediately shouted excitedly; Six Southern Domains various Golden Palace masters and Jianghu warriors, including Yang Wanyi, Lin Hongyi, Yue Haitang, among the top ten new dragons, also cast eager glances this way.

This battle, Luo Feng represents not just himself, nor merely Linglong Hall, but the six major Golden Palaces of Six Southern Domains, the honor of all Six Southern Domains, everyone cares deeply.

"Sword Wuji, who do you think will win this battle between them?"

Yu Bufan withdrew his gaze from Luo Feng, unable to resist asking Sword Wuji.

Sword Wuji’s expression was icy cold, replied coolly: "Once they fight, you’ll naturally know, why bother guessing idly."

Sword Wuji was internally conflicted, having been defeated by Cao Li in just two moves, losing face in front of everyone, naturally wishing Luo Feng would teach Cao Li a lesson; yet as a former First New Dragon, he equally disliked seeing Luo Feng outshining and stealing the spotlight.

After being rebuffed, Yu Bufan smiled bitterly, turned to ask Yang Wanyi: "Yang Wanyi, what do you think?"

"Certainly Luo Feng." Yang Wanyi smiled sweetly without the slightest hesitation.

Under everyone’s gaze, Luo Feng and Cao Li both appeared on the platform, the entire valley instantly quieting down.

Cao Li held a long spear, short hair standing upright, wearing a fire-patterned battle robe with purple edges, his straight figure exuded an imposing aura, a gaze containing an overwhelming disdain for the world.

Swoosh!

Sweeping the long spear through the void, Cao Li’s gaze pierced at Luo Feng, boldly smiling: "No need for introductions, right?"

"We already exchanged greetings last time we met."

Luo Feng nodded, drew the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber, its blade pointing into the air, said: "Make your move."
