"So terrifying!" Many people couldn't help but gasp. They never expected Liu Mengyan to have such a constitution; it was too incredible.
Qin Xuan looked towards where Liu Mengyan was, his pupils contracting slightly. He hadn't expected that this seemingly weak woman would possess such astonishing power within her. No wonder she dared to compete with Gu Yifeng.
"This is..." Many people's hearts trembled slightly, and then their eyes showed shock. A purplish-black figure stepped out of that area. He was wearing an ordinary linen robe and his appearance was very plain and unremarkable. It was impossible for anyone to imagine that he had just stepped into that area.
"Another prodigy!" The crowd was once again shaken. This year's Qingyun Ranking has produced two such outstanding individuals, which is truly remarkable.
"I wonder who will ultimately win," Qi Luo murmured. Their eyes were all fixed on that area, hoping that more geniuses would reach the top. It would be a great pity if only one prodigy existed.
"Buzz." A sword chant came from Qi Luo's mouth. Instantly, he walked towards Gu Yifeng with a long sword in his hand. A monstrous sword aura emanated from his body, and sword shadows appeared and surrounded him, like a sword formation.
Qi Luo also chose Gu Yifeng.
Qin Xuan remained completely calm. Qi Luo's strength was much greater than Gu Yifeng's, so there shouldn't be any problems.
When Qi Luo reached the seventy-ninth step, he suddenly stopped. He felt that there was an invisible wall blocking his way, preventing him from crossing it even an inch. A look of thought appeared in his eyes, and a bright idea suddenly flashed in his mind.
"I see."
Qi Luo suddenly opened his eyes, turned around, and then stepped to the other side.
At this moment, many people noticed something was wrong. Qi Luo's movements seemed to have become much slower, obviously because he had encountered an obstacle.
"What is he doing?" many people wondered.
The moment they saw the scene before them, many people felt a ripple in their hearts, their gazes fixed on it. Then a commotion spread throughout the venue, and some people even stood up, their eyes fixed on the steps in front of them.
On the steps stood two figures, both young men. One was clad in armor, holding a golden spear, exuding an incomparably domineering aura and brimming with boundless fighting spirit.
This person was none other than Qi Yunxiao from the Qi family.
Another young man in brocade robes stood on the sixty-seventh floor, his gaze sweeping over Qi Yunxiao with a hint of arrogance, as if he didn't take Qi Yunxiao seriously. This man was named Gu Yifeng, a direct descendant of the first-class royal family Chen clan. He was exceptionally talented and had few rivals among his peers.
Qi Yunxiao frowned slightly when he saw Gu Yifeng appear, then looked at Qi Luo and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
Upon hearing Qi Yunxiao's words, many of the others showed strange expressions. Couldn't he see it?
"I want to challenge Gu Yifeng," Qi Luo replied slowly.
Qi Yunxiao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, since you insist on fighting, I will grant your wish. I hope you can break the record!"
As Qi Yunxiao's voice fell, everyone's hearts clenched painfully. This bastard really thinks he's a savior!
"Hmph, arrogant!" Gu Yifeng glanced coldly at Qi Luo, then his figure transformed into a blur and rushed directly towards Qi Luo. A powerful and terrifying pressure was released, and the space fluctuated violently.
Gu Yifeng slapped out his palm, and a phantom handprint appeared out of thin air. With a loud boom, the handprint slammed into Qi Luo's chest. Qi Luo raised his hand and threw a punch. The brilliant starlight gathered at a point and exploded out, colliding with the handprint.
A loud bang rang out, the starlight was extinguished, and the giant handprint still descended on Qi Luo's body with unstoppable force, causing Qi Luo to groan and take several steps back.
Gu Yifeng's lips curled into a cold smile as he continued to step forward, unleashing a barrage of attacks. Although Qi Luo tried his best to resist, the difference in strength was too great, and he simply could not withstand Gu Yifeng's attacks.
"Pfft, pfft..."
The sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh rang out one after another. In just a short while, Qi Luo's body was stained red with blood, looking like a blood-soaked demon, a shocking sight.
"Admit defeat." Gu Yifeng stopped attacking, looking at Qi Luo with disdain, as if he were looking at a loser. In his eyes, Qi Luo was not worthy of being his opponent and was easily defeated.
"Qi Luo, just admit defeat!" many people shouted, heartbroken. Qi Luo was their hope this time, and it would be such a pity if he were to be crippled like this.
However, Qi Luo shook his head, his gaze unwavering, and said, "I haven't lost yet."
Upon hearing this, many people were stunned, and their hearts trembled inexplicably.
You didn't lose?
Doesn't that mean we can continue to fight for it?
"Do you think I'd give you a chance?" Gu Yifeng mocked, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He then stepped forward again, his aura growing increasingly violent and terrifying. In an instant, he was in front of Qi Luo, his five fingers gripping Qi Luo's throat with incredible speed.
Qi Luo's face suddenly paled, and his body leaned back sharply, but he still couldn't dodge Gu Yifeng's attack. A small wound appeared on his neck, and blood seeped out.
"It's over." Gu Yifeng uttered a sound. If this move had been used by an ordinary second-level Yuanhuang cultivator, they would surely have died.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud was heard, and a figure suddenly shot out, crashing directly into the ground in the distance, creating a crater.
The crowd stared blankly, then an intense heat wave swept through the entire space. A burly figure stood where Qi Luo had just stood, exuding a fierce and domineering aura, like an invincible demon king, inspiring fear in everyone.
"It's Qi Yunxiao, he won!"
"This..." Many people were dumbfounded. Qi Luo had been defeated, completely defeated by Qi Yunxiao.
Gu Yifeng floated in the air, looking down at Qi Yunxiao with a disdainful expression, and said, "You're not bad either."
A look of surprise flashed across Qi Yunxiao's eyes. He hadn't expected Gu Yifeng to praise him. Then he turned his gaze to Qi Luo, who was lying on the ground, and his expression became somewhat complicated.
He won this battle.
Qi was utterly defeated, with absolutely no chance of resistance.
"You're very capable, but not enough to make me admit defeat." Qi Luo struggled to his feet, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, his gaze meeting Gu Yifeng's across the distance.
"What are you trying to prove?" Gu Yifeng asked calmly.
"Today, I will offer your blood as a sacrifice to the flag."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Luo burst into flames, transforming into a human torch. His body was bathed in flames, and his aura became incredibly terrifying, like a battle maniac.
