Chapter 59 - Not Full PowerAt this moment, the red and gold colored light from the saber had already approached Xiang Jinglei. The latter gripped his golden spear tightly and did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward!
Along with Xiang Jinglei"s long roar towards the sky, silver lightning shot out from both of his arms, as if he was a mighty warrior chopping down a mountain. He actually lifted the spear high into the air!"Break for me!"
With an explosive shout, Xiang Jinglei"s spear drew a dazzling silver light in the air. It actually headed straight for the golden red coloured blade glow, heavily smashing against it!
"Bam!"Following a deafening sound that pierced the eardrums of everyone, an invisible wave of Qi spread out, causing the ground of the arena to crack and rapidly spread in all directions!
If such a terrifying wave of momentum were to spread throughout the Apricot Garden, it would have been a mess and some people might even be injured. Fortunately, Old Marshal Wan, who had been watching the fight closely, waved his hand at the critical moment.
An azure light flashed out from his hand and enveloped the entire arena. The powerful aura collided with the azure light screen, but it was unable to break out of it with a loud bang!
At this moment, along with a dazzling explosion within the light screen, everyone finally saw the situation within clearly. At this moment, Xiang Jinghong was still holding onto his spear with both hands, maintaining a forward pressing posture!
In front of him, at the tip of the silver spear, a red-gold blade-light continued to move forward even though the light from the blade had dimmed a lot!
"Ya!"Xiang Jinglei let out a low and deep roar. At this moment, the silver lightning on his arms had already dissipated, and even his sleeves had been shattered, revealing steel-like muscles as well as a strong and st.u.r.dy arm!
The latter gripped onto the long spear with both hands as his body tightened. His teeth chattered as his entire body"s strength and an unending stream of Yun Li"s energy clashed against the long spear. He wanted to block the advance of the red and gold colored saber light!
However, even though he had used all the strength in his body to the point that the silver spear was bent, the blade was still ruthlessly closing in. It looked like it was about to break through his defenses!
"Retreat!"
Xiang Jinglei roared once again. On his tall body, a silver light bloomed. His aura expanded once again, pressing the golden and red lights back a little!
In front of him, Xiang Qian, whose face had already turned slightly pale, saw this scene and his facial muscles involuntarily twitched. The latter obviously did not expect that even after he had used this move, Xiang Jinglei still had not given up.
"What a monster!" Xiang Qian could not help but sigh in his heart.
However, Xiang Qian"s eyes did not show any signs of worry. He looked at the blood-red and two-colored blade radiance that was flying through the air, and his eyes lit up with a red brilliance!
"Subdue!"
Following Xiang Gan"s low shout, the red-gold colored blade glow that had already broken through the air and left actually appeared after the latter had spoken the word "suppress"!
With a sudden burst of light, the two colored saber lights instantly exploded. An immense wave of power flooded in like a tidal wave, instantly sending the spear in Xiang Jinghong"s hands flying. Immediately afterwards, it smashed heavily into Xiang Jinghong"s chest!"BOOM!"
Amidst the loud sound, Xiang Jinglei was directly sent flying backwards, his tall and big body heavily crashing onto the edge of the arena.
"Hiss!" The sound of cold air being sucked filled the entire pavilion.
"Oh my G.o.d, the Thunderclap has lost!"
"That"s right, the Thunderclap was actually defeated by the Crown Prince!""Ah, losing to a Xuan Level Martial Skill is not shameful!"
"These two are contemporary geniuses, and they will eventually become the backbone of our Windcloud Nation!"
Everyone"s expression changed when they saw this scene in the Pavilion of Spring. The county governor and Grand Marshal Wan Bing were prepared to bring Xiang Jinglei down to treat his injuries.
At this time, Xiang Tian, who had been watching the fight this entire time, said indifferently to the rest, "The battle isn"t over yet. Everyone, don"t be impatient."
"Hmm?" Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiang Ling in shock, even Xiang Yun looked at the latter with a puzzled expression as he thought to himself, "d.a.m.n, he was sent flying. It"s not over yet. You"re thinking that your son should be killed."
Although Xiang Yun did not like Xiang Lei, he did not want his own older brother to be killed.However, the weight of what Xiang Tian said to everyone else was self-evident.
Hearing this, no one rose to make any more moves. Xiang Yun was just about to ask, a little puzzled, when he suddenly saw Second Brother Xiang Jinghong look at him, signalling him not to worry.
Xiang Yun was immediately even more shocked. His second brother had a very good relationship with his big brother, why didn"t even his second brother allow royal father to save his big brother? Is this stupid big guy not done yet?
Xiang Yun couldn"t help but focus his gaze back onto the stage!
At this moment, looking at Xiang Jinglei who had already collapsed at the edge of the arena, a hint of joy of victory finally appeared on Xiang Qian"s pale face."I"ve finally defeated you, Xiang Lianglei!" Xiang Qian"s heart was filled with joy and excitement. Since he was young, Xiang Lei had been pressing down on his head like a mountain.
Ever since the two of them were young, he had never won a single battle. To the current Crown Prince, the person with the most esteemed status in the younger generation, this was no different from a humiliation.
Therefore, he had been suppressing his full strength in his heart, and that was to defeat Xiang Jinglei, and become the leader of the younger generation. Now, he had finally proven that all his efforts had not been in vain!
Immediately, looking at Xiang Lei in front of him, Xiang Qian retracted his mind, preparing to have someone bring him down for treatment, but before Xiang Qian could say anything, a loud cough rang out, instantly stupefying everyone in the Apricot Altar Garden and even the Spring Pavilion!He saw Xiang Jinglei, who had been sprawled out on the ground, suddenly flip over and sit up!
"Cough, cough, cough!"Ding Jinglei"s entire upper body was charred black. His clothes had all exploded, revealing his incomparably strong torso. The latter coughed repeatedly as a pair of eyes flashed with a silver light as he looked at Xiang Qian!
"His Highness the Crown Prince"s move is really powerful, it almost made me lose my ability to fight again!"
"Uh …" At this moment, Xiang Qian was completely dumbfounded. Looking at this tall man who was charred black like a chimpanzee, Xiang Qian"s heart was filled with disbelief!"How is this possible? After being struck by my Gengjin Devil Sword"s Sword Qi, he still hasn"t fallen to the ground?"
Not just Xiang Qian, everyone was looking at him as if he were an alien. They had never thought that the latter would actually be able to get up from the ground. This was unbelievable!Amidst everyone"s shock, Xiang Jinglei had already climbed up from the ground. Looking at Crown Prince Xiang Qian in front of him, Xiang Jinghong"s dark face broke into a grin.
"Hehe, Your Highness, I should be the victor this time around!" After saying that, Ding Jinglei stretched out his hand. The silver long spear that had already landed on the stage gave a soft cry and flew back into his hands in the blink of an eye.
"You …" Xiang Qian looked at Xiang Lei, who had regained his footing and grasped his long spear. His eyes were still filled with shock.He had never expected that he would be unable to defeat this person with a single sword strike even after secretly painstakingly training in a Profound Ranked Martial Technique for three years. Xiang Qian"s heart was filled with unwillingness; he was unwilling to admit defeat again!
"No, I still have a second sword attack!" Xiang Qian suddenly raised his head, his eyes slightly red! However, it was filled with determination!
Hearing this, Xiang Jinglei frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, the first sword strike has already consumed too much of your Yun Li"s energy. You don"t have the strength to use the second sword strike anymore. You don"t have to force it anymore."
However, Xiang Qian seemed to have made up his mind. He looked Xiang Jinglei straight in the eye as he said with incomparable resolution, "Cousin, I must use this second sword move. If you can still receive it, I"ll admit defeat immediately!"Seeing the determination in Xiang Qian"s eyes, Xiang Jinglei knew that he could no longer dissuade him. He could only nod resolutely as he spoke to Xiang Qian with a solemn expression.
"Alright, since brother must use this sword attack, I will no longer block it. You can use all your strength, but I will not hold back!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Xiang Qian"s eyes suddenly revealed a look of shock. So it turned out Xiang Jinglei had not been using his full strength all this time!
"How is this possible!" All of a sudden, Xiang Qian was greatly shocked. However, this shock was quickly suppressed by him as he thought to himself, "Xiang Jinglei, it doesn"t matter if you"ve really held back. Don"t even think of defending against this second strike!"
In the next moment, Xiang Qian"s entire body"s aura exploded forth, the treasured sword in his hand now in the shape of an ordinary longsword. In an instant, golden light shone brightly, and a blood-red demonic l.u.s.ter appeared in Xiang Qian"s eyes once more!The latter"s hands abruptly gripped the hilt of her longsword. This time around, she placed the tip of her longsword against the ground of the arena! His eyes slowly closed!
Then, a dark red light radiated from the point where the golden sword was connected to the ground. It was several times thicker than the golden silk threads from before.
At this moment, Xiang Qian"s face turned increasingly pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. The latter"s body trembled slightly, clearly having consumed too much energy. It was already extremely difficult for him to withstand the second strike!Even so, Xiang Qian still gritted his teeth, pouring all of his Yun Li"s unreserved energy into the long sword. The blood-red light quickly enveloped the sword"s body! A wave of energy that was much more terrifying than before slowly began to acc.u.mulate!
In the distance, a serious expression flashed across Xiang Qian"s eyes as he watched the red glow on the longsword in Xiang Qian"s hand surge. Immediately, a tinge of excitement appeared in his eyes!
"Fine, let"s see how powerful my "Thunderstorm Spear Art" is. It"s still as good as your "Gengjin Devil Sword"!" Xiang Jinglei muttered to himself!Immediately, he actually shut his eyes tightly as the long spear in his hand suddenly danced. Like a silver dragon, it wrapped around his body and waved its silver ta.s.sels, condensing in the air and wrapping around him!
As Xiang Lei"s long spear danced and silver lightning condensed, a feeling that made one"s skin go numb suddenly appeared in the air. Everyone was shocked in their hearts. This was clearly a sign that the thunder attribute energy was gathering excessively!
In an instant, the crowd realized that the martial skill that Xiang Lei was using was also a Profound Ranked martial skill!
Because only by reaching the category of a Profound Rank martial skill would it be possible to cause a change in the energy of heaven and earth!
"Hu!"
"To think that the Thunderclap has cultivated a Profound Ranked Martial Technique as well!""Heavens, this is too scary. The talent of these two is incomparable to that of ordinary geniuses!"
Staring at the two that were about to take action, a sense of shock arose in the hearts of the crowd. These two geniuses from the Wind Cloud Country were truly too stunning, they"d left their peers far behind.
At this moment, the aura of the two people on the stage had already been gathered to its peak. The blood-red markings on the longsword before Xiang Qian enveloped the entire blade, emitting a terrifying blood-red glow.The aura that rippled out from the sword carried a sharp aura that cut through everything. Just a glance at it caused one to feel a chill in their heart!
Similarly, at this moment, Xiang Jinglei"s aura was not the slightest bit inferior to Xiang Qian"s. The latter"s entire body was enveloped in a large silver ball of light.
The lightning ball that was as thick as a baby"s arm crazily danced and twined. The dazzling lightning released a terrifying power, causing the surrounding air to constantly expand and distort!"Buzz!"
"Roar!"In almost an instant, the longsword vibrated, the longspear hummed, and two voices resounded through the world!
The originally tightly shut eyes of the two opened at the same time. A pair of almost completely crimson eyes met a pair of silvery, resplendent eyes!
