Chapter 161 - Who Won, Who Lost?
In an instant, Luo Anqing’s cultivation had suddenly increased substantially. Both his eyes turned bloodshot and a malicious smile appeared on his face. He had already decided in his heart that he would use this opportunity to get rid of Ling Yichen.
Besides helping his family clan to be rid of a potential danger, he was also doing it to vent the hatred in his heart. What qualifications did his opponent have to break through to Battle Qi Level-7 while he still remained at Battle Qi Level-6 Pinnacle stage?!
Even when he saw the changes Luo Anqing underwent, Ling Yichen’s handsome face still remained expressionless. He was not flustered or panicked, nor was he fearful. Instead, he became even calmer.
He swung his sword, directly aiming for Luo Anqing’s weakest spot. With a roar, Luo Anqing waved his blade to meet the attack straight-on.
Ding!
The sharp sound of metal clashing was heard. Fine cracks like spider webs appeared on Ling Yichen’s sword, making a crisp sound as they cracked up inch by inch, until the once magnificent sword finally became a pile of metal waste.
Ling Yichen’s sword was broken just like that! As for Luo Anqing’s blade, it was perfectly fine!
“Moon Gaze Blade!” gasped the crowd.
They had only just managed to recognize that the blade in Luo Anqing’s hand was the Luo family’s heirloom, the Moon Gaze Blade.
The blade was seven feet long and weighed 27jin (1jin is 500gsm). It was like the moon, with fine, beautiful curves. Although it was not a divine weapon, it was made from refined steel mixed with millennium black iron. It had been crafted by a famous master long ago, who had spent ten years to refine it. Such a weapon was actually given to Luo Anqing by the Luo family to be used in this tournament!
Before the crowd could react to the blade, the next scene made everyone inevitably yelp in surprise. Ling Yichen’s sword was already broken, but Luo Anqing showed no sign of stopping his attacks.
Waving his blade, he slashed at Ling Yichen’s chest. The Blade Qi surged outwards, seemingly even stronger than his previous attack. His stance was clearly one that indicated his wish to take Ling Yichen’s life!
Everything happened too quickly. Nobody would have thought that the blade in Luo Anqing’s hands was actually the Moon Gaze Blade, and they definitely wouldn’t have thought that he wished to kill Ling Yichen.
Even if they wanted to say something to stop him, it was already too late. Watching the fight, there was a barely noticeable hint of a smile in the Luo family’s first elder’s eyes. A smile of success.
A nervous Ling Yuanlong stood up, shouting loudly, “Stop!”
But at this moment, it was too late. Luo Anqing’s Moon Gaze Blade was already reaching its target!
Ling Yichen did not panic in the face of danger. He suddenly turned the hilt of his sword, blocking the tip of the Moon Gaze Blade. A huge force rushed forward towards him and his five fingers seemed to be unable to tightly hold onto the hilt. It was pushed backwards, and a small part of the broken sword tip stabbed into Ling Yichen’s chest. Almost at the same time, he launched a kick imbued with strong Battle Qi at Luo Anqing’s chest.
Instantly, the both of them were forcefully pushed backwards and in the end, both fell off the fighting ring!
Everything happened in a flash! Ling Yichen’s courage and bravery deeply shocked everyone on-site!
His weapon had already been destroyed, but when facing Luo Anqing who had his cultivation suddenly surging explosively, he had still managed to counter attack and keep calm in the face of danger!
Who won and who lost?
“Yichen!” yelled Ling Chuxi. She immediately rushed forward and supported him, checking his injuries.
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Ling Yichen gently shook his head, indicating that Ling Chuxi did not need to worry. After she checked his injuries, she found that the sword tip had not entered his body by more than half an inch. It was only a superficial wound. Only then did she relax. The Ling family’s people had also rushed over by this time and helped to apply medicine on Ling Yichen.
After Luo Anqing was kicked off the fighting ring by Ling Yichen, he climbed back up looking somewhat dishevelled. Just as he was about to speak, he started foaming at the mouth. His face turned green as his body crumbled to the ground whilst convulsing. He subsequently lost consciousness.
With that, the Luo family’s people became even more nervous than the Ling family’s people. Luo Anqing’s situation clearly indicated a problem—that was, he had taken the Battle Element Pill and had not injured his body, but rather injured his foundation! This was serious and could not be compared to Ling Yichen’s superficial wound.
