Half an hour later, as expected, the tension among the crowd turned to disappointment as Zheng Chenglin fell. Although they were aware of Sima Wuduan's leg injury, who wouldn't hope for a twist of fate? Those gathered to watch were filled with a mix of excitement and fear, while those preparing to face Sima Wuduan hoped that Zheng Chenglin could push him to reveal some trump cards. That way, there would be more opportunities for others to challenge him later. While defeating Sima Wuduan might seem unlikely for Coco, it was still possible to pass through the barrier like Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. No one would mock them; after all, everyone recognized Sima Wuduan's strength, which likely surpassed even what they understood about Tiandong's top fighter.
Sima Wuduan's voice echoed once more across the arena. Zheng Chenglin, covered in dust, stood in stark contrast to Sima Wuduan's emotionally detached shout, which unexpectedly instilled a sense of awe in the onlookers.
Here he comes; perhaps his luck is turning.
Guo Jia grinned at Zhang Chunlin while handing over the defeated Zheng Chenglin. He then approached Sima Wuduan.
There was no fear of Sima Wuduan's overwhelming power nor any discouragement from being unnoticed despite his Transcendence status. Guo Jia was Guo Jia; he didn't need anyone to recognize him or prove his strength to anyone else. He simply wanted to pursue what he desired.
Loose Cultivator Guo Jia.
Youluo and Sima Wuduan exchanged formal greetings. Suddenly, a series of rapid collisions erupted in the air, and the spectators finally regained their senses as Guo Jia was forced back into position. However, they had missed what had just transpired.
Guo Jia was strong—far stronger than Zheng Chenglin from Moon River Sect. Bu Luo was not far behind; I noticed he wielded the Spring Silkworm Sword, which must have been purchased at an auction from Dong Lai. A Loose Cultivator could hardly afford such high-quality items without saving for quite some time. Just like Wenxin Sword from Tianshi Disciple or Xiao Zhang's Great Halberd...
What Great Halberd? He wields the Rift Sky Halberd! Xiao Zhang shouted loudly, interrupting Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. After all these years, he still didn’t know what weapon Xiao Zhang possessed—how ridiculous!
Oh, Tenglan glanced at Xiao Zhang, who seemed to have regained his composure and corrected himself: Rift Sky Halberd. Those materials were sourced from outside the Sect and custom-made by someone else. The Spring Silkworm Sword may also be a magical weapon, but its restrictions and effects cannot compare to those crafted by Major Sects. Even its hardness likely falls short by a level. So even if Guo Jia’s strength slightly surpassed Cheng Lin’s, the disadvantage of his weapon would probably negate that advantage.
Crack!
Before Tenglan could finish speaking, a crisp shattering sound reached everyone's ears, causing them all to stare in shock at the battlefield, afraid to blink lest they find themselves dreaming.
Sima Wuduan smirked coldly as he watched Guo Jia standing a yard away. His long legs pointed towards his brow, and with the sheer strength of those legs, he managed to trap the Spring Silkworm Sword between them. The sight left everyone dumbfounded, as the sword began to crack inch by inch, the fissures creeping toward the hilt, producing a sharp, crisp sound of breaking.
Crack, crack, boom!
The massive shockwave swept across the battlefield, already ravaged by the two Great Wars, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured everyone's view.
Two arcs of light streaked across the sky. As they approached Liangxiaoshan's territory, a purple Rainbow emerged behind them, blocking access to Liangxiaoshan once more.
Have I been seen through?
Guo Jia flexed his fingers and adjusted his Yi Dong joints, elevating himself into the air, soaring to heights previously untouched in battle.
He would not make the same mistake again.
The sky erupted into fierce combat once more, while those on the ground busily commented on the techniques and moves displayed by the two since the battle began.
Guo Jia's objective was clear: to forcefully break through Sima Wuduan's defenses. It sounded simple enough, but regardless of speed or strength, Sima Wuduan was significantly stronger than Guo Jia. No matter how Guo Jia attempted to surpass Sima Wuduan and reach Liangxiaoshan, it seemed he had no chance at all.
