Although Blazing Fist is just a low-level Martial Art, he took this punch without any defense, and it was delivered by someone who was not any weaker than him.
"The winner is Luo Tong. Next match: Qin Ying vs. Liu Muchen!" Seeing that Luo Tong was about to strike the severely injured Zhou Fan again, Lin Luo quickly stepped in to announce the result of the match.
"Senior Brother, you can do it!" Xing Chen said to Qin Ying.
"Don't worry!" Qin Ying smiled and then stepped onto the Dueling Platform.
"Liu Muchen!"
"Qin Ying!"
"The match begins!" Both sides cupped their fists and announced their names, and then Lin Luo declared the start of the match.
"Ice Palm!" As the match began, Liu Muchen focused his gaze and struck out with a palm. He pulled back and then released his right hand, unleashing a surge of icy energy that spread out, leaving a thin layer of frost on the ground wherever it passed.
Advanced Martial Technique — Ice Palm, when executed, can injure internal organs and freeze tendons. If hit by this palm, one would at least have to lie down for ten to fifteen days.
"Blazing Sun Technique!" Qin Ying smiled as he met the attack with a punch.
Bang!
The two collided, causing the ground beneath them to shake, and a strong gust of wind surged outward in all directions.
Liu Muchen felt a numbness in his arm as a tremendous force transmitted from his opponent's punch. The impact came in waves, four or five layers of force crashing against him. Under this fierce assault, he immediately lost his balance and staggered back a few steps, exclaiming, "Sixfold Blaze Force!"
The Sixfold Blaze Force is one of the top-tier Martial Arts in the Azure Cloud Gang Martial Arts Pavilion. Although it is merely an Advanced Martial Technique, when practiced to perfection, the six layers of force can stack upon each other, allowing it to rival even some Earth-Level Martial Arts.
Qin Ying shook his hand, shattering the layer of Thin Ice covering his fist, his expression slightly surprised: "It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect your Ice Palm to actually give rise to a chilling force." With Qin Ying's strength at the Earth Soul Realm, he could easily defeat his opponent, but he wanted to see what kind of abilities Liu Muchen had, so he hadn't used his full strength in that last attack.
"I admit defeat; I'm no match for you," Liu Muchen said with a bitter smile. The gap in strength between him and Qin Ying was too great for him to win, so it was better to concede decisively.
"Thank you for your guidance." Qin Ying cupped his fists in respect and then jumped down from the stage.
The following matches proceeded smoothly and within half an hour, this round of competition was nearing its end. Xing Chen finally stepped onto the Dueling Platform, but his opponent was someone who had reached the peak of the Human Soul Realm.
"I am Zhou Ming."
"Xing Chen."
"Oh? You are the new Closed-Door Disciple that the leader has taken in?" After hearing Xing Chen's name, Zhou Ming became interested: "Half-Step Soul Refinement Realm, your talent isn't that impressive. Why did the leader choose you?"
"Hmph." Xing Chen snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes: "I'll let you know why."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Chen drew his sword, the Lonely Star Sword slicing through the air, a brilliant starlight flashing instantly. However, behind this beautiful starlight lay a hidden killing intent.
Zhou Ming remained unfazed, lightly moving his body to evade Xing Chen's strike, then pointed forward.
"Falling Star Finger!" Zhou Ming shouted lowly, then with a flick of his finger, accompanied by a sharp whistle of Vital Energy, this finger condensed his internal energy into a single point, channeling all his power as it cut through the air, leaving a faint blue light that moved at an astonishing speed.
"Ding!" Xing Chen raised his sword in front of him, barely blocking the attack. He felt a sharp pain in his arm as it went numb, and a surge of concentrated Vital Energy rushed into his body, causing his complexion to pale as he nearly spat out blood.
Step! Step! Step!
"Is this finger technique close to Earth-level?" After retreating several steps to stabilize himself, Xing Chen looked at Zhou Ming with some surprise.
"Whoosh..." Just as Xing Chen was surprised, a sound of wind came, and Zhou Ming took advantage of Xing Chen's astonishment to find a gap and moved to his back using his movement technique.
"Big Dipper Steps, Shadow Shift!" Xing Chen was startled, and the Northern Dipper Star Steps were instantly activated. His figure disappeared in a flash, and when he reappeared, he was already more than ten meters to the left of Zhou Ming.
"That was close; the Peak of Human Soul Realm is indeed impressive." Xing Chen secretly wiped away a cold sweat. If it weren't for his quick reaction just now, he would have probably lost.
"Lone Star Sun Blade, Killer Lone Star—" This time, Xing Chen had learned his lesson. After revealing himself, he did not hesitate and directly used the Lone Star Sun Blade.
He raised his sword, and brilliant starlight appeared in the air. The sword energy surged and intertwined, but immediately after, a Black Sword Qi shot out from the sword, slicing toward Zhou Ming like lightning.
Whoosh!
Seeing the Black Sword Qi, Zhou Ming's expression became slightly serious. He feigned a step to evade the sword energy and then charged toward Xing Chen again.
"Falling Star Finger!" A finger pointed out, and starlight appeared once more, moving faster than Xing Chen's sword energy.
"Northern Dipper Star Steps!" Xing Chen moved swiftly to avoid it while throwing his Lonely Star Sword forward with a violent whoosh toward Zhou Ming.
Zhou Ming saw the incoming long sword and barely dodged it by leaning aside. However, the next moment, surprise appeared in his eyes because Xing Chen had somehow appeared right in front of him.
"Ninefold Thunder Palm—" A hint of purple light suddenly emerged in Xing Chen's eyes as Vital Energy gathered within him. A faint purple electric arc danced on his right palm as he struck down toward Zhou Ming.
As Xing Chen's palm came down, two afterimages trailed behind him. Zhou Ming had no time to react before his rushing body collided with Xing Chen's palm.
"Boom!" A loud sound echoed as Zhou Ming was sent flying backward. Xing Chen quickly followed up with Northern Dipper Star Steps and slammed down again with his palm.
"Bang!" Zhou Ming crashed heavily onto the ground, and a murderous intent flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he stepped on Zhou Ming's neck.
"Junior Brother, don't..." At this moment, Qin Ying saw Xing Chen about to strike and immediately shouted.
"Crack..." A crisp sound echoed as Zhou Ming fell dead at Xing Chen's feet. Xing Chen turned to look at Qin Ying and said, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry! You were a bit late."
"Chen... Young Master Chen wins." At this time, Lin Luo stepped onto the Dueling Platform, first glancing at Xing Chen with some trepidation before announcing.
"Quite ruthless, decisive in killing; he is someone who can accomplish great things." On the high platform, Yun Qing looked at Xing Chen with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
The Hall Master and Helmsman of the Three Halls and Nine Branches had varying expressions upon seeing Xing Chen's actions. In particular, He Mie, the Hall Master of Sunset Hall, had a face as dark as a pot bottom. Zhou Ming was one of their own; a Soul Refinement Realm individual is not easy to cultivate, and now he was dead—his mood was understandable.
The other two Hall Masters, while wary of Xing Chen, couldn't help but look at He Mie with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Junior Brother, why did you have to kill him? We're all on the same side; there was no need to take his life directly," Qin Ying sighed as he looked at Xing Chen. His concern wasn't for Zhou Ming but rather that such actions could harm the strength of their faction; he was simply thinking of the gang's interests.
"You can't blame anyone for his death; he only has himself to blame for his loose tongue," Xing Chen glanced at Qin Ying and replied calmly.
"Sigh..." Qin Ying opened his mouth as if to say something more but ultimately sighed and said nothing.
