At this moment, Qiu Honglei transformed into a beam of light, moving and attacking from all directions.
Wu Xiaofan stood still, wielding his stick with incredible speed, always managing to deflect the opponent's tricky attacks.
Wan Guiyi was filled with admiration. He had previously thought that the other party was cheating by relying on the absolute defense of the big stick during their match, but now he realized that the stick technique was also so exquisite.
What's even more impressive is that every single one of his strikes is incredibly powerful, yet he manages to execute them with such effortless grace.
However, this wasn't without its price; he basically didn't move from place, clearly indicating that he couldn't have both the heavy stick and light, agile steps.
Qiu Honglei quickly noticed this as well. After a touch, she spread her arms wide and retreated backward in a cross shape.
Many disciples below the arena were puzzled. She had finally closed the distance, so why was she moving away again now?
Wu Xiaofan looked at her with the same puzzlement. Qiu Honglei smiled, and then two short blades floated in front of her.
Then two become four, four become eight...
Soon the sky was filled with the figures of short blades. Qiu Honglei pointed casually, and those short blades shot towards the opponent with a whooshing sound.
"Isn't this futile? The opponent has a big stick protecting them, what's the use of this kind of ranged attack?" Cai Yu, a disciple of Lihentian, couldn't help but mutter.
He simply snorted and said, "What do you know? She's trying to force Wu Xiaofan to go head-to-head with her and have a contest of vital energy."
On the other side, Wan Guiyi couldn't help but nod in approval. As expected of the woman he had his eye on, she discovered so quickly that Wu Xiaofan also needed to consume his vital energy to activate the staff. He was injured and would definitely not be able to last long.
Wu Xiaofan frowned as expected, but he had no choice but to instantly enlarge his staff to block the flying blades.
His body trembled slightly, and his internal energy surged, but he couldn't care less about that. Instead, he looked warily into the air: "Where is she?"
The next second, he was immediately alarmed, as a strong killing intent came from his side and rear.
"So that move was a decoy. But when did she get to my side?" Wu Xiaofan didn't have time to think. He pushed his energy to the limit and even dodged to the side in a disheveled manner, not caring about his appearance.
Nevertheless, although he avoided the vital spot on his neck, he was still stabbed in the ribs by the opponent's short blade.
"ah!"
The members of the Zhengyang Sect were utterly horrified; this attack would surely have left them severely injured, if not killed.
Disciples from other factions also had complicated expressions. They never expected that Wu Xiaofan, who was recognized as the number one before the competition, would lose to an opponent who was previously unknown.
However, Qiu Honglei showed no joy at this moment. She felt that her knife had not pierced her flesh, but instead hit an extremely tough object.
At this moment, Wu Xiaofan shouted and swung his long staff over.
Even though Qiu Honglei tried her best to dodge, her arm was still grazed, and half of her body almost went numb.
She darted several feet away, staring intently at his chest.
Because of the pull of the short blade, his outer garment had been shredded by the blade's energy, revealing a soft armor with yellow and green stripes.
"The Green Scale Armor of the Zhengyang Sect!" The sect leaders on the high platform all looked at Wang Wuxie in shock, never expecting that he would pass on such a treasure to his disciple.
The Green Scale Armor is a Heaven-rank armor that can withstand the power of Heaven-rank weapons and even reduce the damage from Immortal-rank weapons to a certain extent.
It is traditionally believed that Wang Wuxie wore it.
Wu Xiaofan was already strong, and with this armor, he was even more invincible. What was the point of fighting?
Seeing the dissatisfaction of the others, Wang Wuxie was also a little embarrassed: "I didn't give him this before so as not to make him dependent on it. But he was seriously injured yesterday and won't recover for a while, so I gave him this for self-defense."
Only then did the others feel a little relieved. No wonder Wan Guiyi was able to hurt him yesterday; it seems that the man surnamed Wang still has some shame.
Given his serious injuries, giving him this is somewhat understandable.
It's a pity about the girl from Kongming Island. Her tactics just now were really brilliant. If she didn't have that precious armor, she probably would have won.
They all looked at Elder Peng of Kongming Island, waiting for her to unleash her fury on Wang Wuxie.
To everyone's surprise, the other person remained calm, with only a cold smile playing on their lips.
"Could she have some trump card up her sleeve?" Everyone was shocked.
At this moment, Wu Xiaofan on the arena said apologetically, "I feel a bit dishonest for wearing this armor today. I hope my junior sister won't take offense."
Qiu Honglei sneered, "Who said you won?"
Wu Xiaofan sighed: "Your attacks can't break through my defenses."
After their brief exchange, he had roughly determined the upper limit of his opponent's attack power.
With his own strength and the protection of his armor, he was indeed invincible.
Qiu Honglei didn't answer him. Her expression was solemn. How could she possibly lose this competition in front of those women?
She then brought the hilts of her double-edged swords together in her hand, and the two short blades seemed to attract each other, instantly merging together to form an "S"-shaped scimitar. A terrifying pressure wave emanated from it, along with a monstrous killing intent that spread outwards.
"This is..." The expressions of the sect leaders on the stage changed instantly.
