Chapter 2084 - 2069: Just Pretending

"If it were yesterday, that Ying Family kid could afford to underestimate his opponent like this. But now, he's basically looking for death!"

On the Jian Family stands, Shi Feng looked at the two people fighting on the central Battle Platform below, grinned, and spoke.

On the Battle Platform, the slashing silver light and Ying Yi's Claw Heart drew closer and closer. At first Ying Yi was full of disdain toward that silver light, but in that instant, his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

Only now did he finally realize just how far from simple that sword strike from the "trash" in his mouth really was.

Ying Yi's eyes were now widened to the extreme, and his figure immediately retreated rapidly backward. He, Ying Yi, the Ying Family genius, was actually starting to dodge the sword light Jian Yi had slashed out.

At the same time, Ying Yi's right hand, formed into a claw, grabbed toward the Void. A snow-colored long spear was pulled out by him from the Void.

The aura released from this long spear also belonged to a Divine Grade Combat Artifact!

This spear was Ying Yi's Battle Soldier, named "Snow Fire"!

The moment Snow Fire appeared, snow-colored Fiery Flames ignited over Ying Yi's Whole Body, yet they emanated an incomparably icy aura.

But right then, above the still-dodging Ying Yi, an incomparably huge silver sword shadow appeared. It was as solid as reality, like a mountain-sized silver sword, covering the sky and blotting out the sun.

Then, that silver sword shadow suddenly moved with wild ferocity, crashing down toward Ying Yi.

Under the gaze of the masses, they instantly saw that peerless genius of the Ying Family swallowed by that enormous sword shadow.

The entire Battle Platform was racked by insanely violent tremors in that moment.

"It's over? Just ended like that?"

"Ying Yi of the Ying Family lost just like that?"

"No way, right? That was way too sudden!"

...

For a moment, waves of incredulous exclamations rang out.

Everyone had originally thought that this Jian Family "genius" should've been instantly killed by Ying Yi, but they never expected that it would be Ying Yi who ended up swallowed by the sword power instead.

"Jian Yi actually became this strong!"

...

Even the Jian Family crowd cried out in extreme shock at this moment.

They simply couldn't imagine it—this Jian Yi, who came from the side branch, had actually become this powerful!

Right now, many Jian Family side-branch youths were looking at that young, peerlessly outstanding figure on the battlefield, full of envy.

They knew that after today, this Jian Yi who once shared the same side-branch status as them would be completely different in both identity and position.

Many Jian Family elders and big shots were, at this moment, looking at Jian Yi as if they'd discovered a new treasure, seriously reappraising this "newly emerged" Jian Family genius.

"When did Jian Yi become this strong?" Even Jian Ran spoke in extreme surprise at this time.

"Just in these last few days," Shi Feng said casually.

But Shi Feng knew well that rather than saying Jian Yi was strong, it was more accurate to say that that red-clothed woman's methods were monstrous.

In such a short time, she had actually turned an ordinary Martial Artist who had still only been an Eight-star Demigod a few days ago into someone who now possessed power capable of defeating a True God Expert.

"Well? Have I made your heart stir for me?" Just then, that saucy, seductive voice suddenly sounded in Shi Feng's mind.

The voice was, of course, secretly transmitted by that woman.

She seemed to know that Shi Feng was currently marveling at her methods.

Shi Feng didn't respond to that woman. His eyes once again locked onto the Battle Platform below.

"Boom!" Suddenly, an extremely violent explosive sound thundered across the Battle Platform. The gigantic silver sword shadow abruptly shattered, silver light shooting wildly in all directions, the scene turning dazzlingly gorgeous.

Within the chaotically flying silver light, people gradually saw that young figure faintly emerging amid the silver radiance.

It was precisely that Ying Family genius still standing proudly on the Battle Platform with a long spear in hand—Ying Yi!

Nobody expected that under that overwhelming Sword Power just now, he was still standing on the Battle Platform, his face still as cold as ever.

Even so, Ying Yi's appearance at this moment was already a bit wretched. The snow-colored battle robe on his body had become extremely tattered, and his long hair was in utter disarray.

"What's Ying Yi's condition right now, exactly?"

This was what countless people were wondering in their hearts at that moment.

"Ah!" Just then, Ying Yi's previously cool and aloof face suddenly twisted into something extremely vicious, as if he were a Supreme Beast gone completely mad, letting out a furious roar.

And with Ying Yi's roar, the Battle Spear "Snow Fire" in his hand began to tremble violently, like a slumbering Supreme Beast suddenly awakening.

Snow-colored Fiery Flames once again blazed around Ying Yi's Whole Body, even fiercer than before.

It was like this fire of fury was going to burn everything in the world to ash.

"Ying Yi is truly enraged now!" Someone watching the scene on the battlefield couldn't help but speak.

"Mm! Just now Ying Yi was way too careless, which is why he took such a huge loss. This time, Ying Yi already understands his opponent's strength. Now, Ying Yi is going to get serious."

"This fight is getting more and more exciting!"

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the real Ying Yi!"

...

Voices rose in waves again from all the viewing stands.

However, at that very moment—"Ugh!"

People suddenly heard a strange, jagged groan of pain.

And that groan actually came from the mouth of Ying Yi, the very one everyone had just been expecting to erupt.

At this time, after roaring, Ying Yi should've been launching his strongest attack, but instead… how could he be making that kind of sound?

Next, they saw Ying Yi's proud, upright figure on the Battle Platform suddenly jolt. A look of extreme pain surfaced on his previously cold and aloof face.

"Urgh!" Then a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out from Ying Yi's lips, blooming into a blood flower on the Battle Platform beneath his feet.

"What the… what was that? Ying Yi… was just putting on a show earlier?"

"This Ying Yi… I thought he was about to go berserk, but in the end…"

"Damn it, what the hell is going on! Is this really that former genius of the Ying Family?"

...

"Heh heh!" High up on the Jian Family stands, even Shi Feng let out a chuckle at this moment. "Looks like I really don't need to go down there."

Right then, under the eyes of the crowd, they saw Ying Yi's figure on the Battle Platform growing more and more unsteady, as if he was about to collapse from lack of strength, while the wildly burning snow-colored Fiery Flames began to recede.

Then, that wretched figure with tattered clothes and unstable footing suddenly fell backward.

With a heavy "thud," he crashed hard onto the Battle Platform, kicking up a cloud of dust!

Only then did people finally confirm that Ying Yi had indeed only been faking his momentum just now.

It seemed that under Jian Yi's overwhelming Sword Power earlier, he had already suffered severe internal injuries and lost all Battle Power.

"Jian Family wins!" At this moment, an Elder Cang, cold and aged voice announced from above.
