Chapter 174 173: Unstoppable
"Still talking tough when you're about to die?" Wang Dong's gaze turned cold. With a flip of his palm, a long spear shimmering with crimson light appeared in his hand.
He was a genius of the Wang Clan who had already entered the Celestial Spirit Realm at the young age of nineteen. Having long since joined the Divine Guard Bureau, he was the very picture of a talented young prodigy.
A genius of his caliber would naturally be rewarded with a Sodium Ring upon joining the Divine Guard Bureau.
"Explosive Flame Spear Technique!" With the long spear in hand, the deep words escaped Wang Dong's lips.
The next moment, he shifted his feet and viciously thrust the long spear toward Ling Fei.
BANG!
As the spear thrust forward, a terrifying Power erupted. The Void rippled, and everyone saw crimson Gang Qi howl from the tip of the spear. This incomparably sharp Gang Qi tore through the air, stabbing toward Ling Fei like countless crimson-gold spears.
From a distance, it looked as if a thousand spears of Gang Qi were hurtling toward Ling Fei.
The area around Ling Fei was completely enveloped by the Gang Qi, and a searing heat washed over him.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yurou and the others in the distance couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Ling Fei!" Huang Xiaoman cried out in alarm.
The ferocity of a Celestial Spirit Realm cultivator's attack was far beyond anything an Innate Realm cultivator could match!
On the distant viewing platform, the corners of the mouths of the Marquis of Eatern and the others curled into savage smiles.
"Let's see how he blocks such a fierce attack now," Marquis Yun sneered.
'Gang Qi… It really is sharp.' As Wang Dong unleashed his full power, Ling Fei's expression turned solemn.
His opponent's offensive was clearly aimed at defeating him in a single move.
Ling Fei immediately retreated in a burst of speed.
Sword Qi Transformation Curtain!
As he retreated, Ling Fei flicked his long sword. Sword Qi swept from its tip, and the frigid Sword Qi instantly solidified in the Void before him.
In that instant, wherever the Sword Qi passed, the very air was flash-frozen, forming a thick wall of ice.
At the same time, another wave of Sword Qi surged forward, attempting to encase the incoming Gang Qi spears in ice.
"Your Cold Qi is indeed powerful, but a mere Innate Realm cultivator wanting to use it to freeze my Gang Qi? You're still a long way off." Wang Dong sneered.
"Blazing Gang, burst!"
As the deep command rang out, his Gang Qi clashed with Ling Fei's Sword Qi.
The moment the Gang Qi met the Cold Chi Sword Energy, a searing Fire Flame erupted from within it.
The scorching aura instantly began to push back the Cold Qi.
Furthermore, under the assault of the Gang Qi, the Cold Chi Sword Energy faltered, and the ice wall in front of him began to crack.
BUZZ!
With a dull thud, the ice wall violently shattered, turning into a shower of ice crystals that rained down on the ground.
Against the Gang Qi, Ling Fei's Cold Chi True Qi lost its earlier advantage.
After all, Wang Dong's Gang Qi was condensed from Fire Dao True Qi!
As the ice wall crumbled, a searing Fire Flame, carrying with it an endless barrage of Gang Qi spears, swept toward Ling Fei.
Seizing the opening, Wang Dong charged forward, long spear in hand.
With such momentum, he clearly intended to crush Ling Fei in a single blow.
'I have to go all out.' Ling Fei's gaze narrowed. With a thought, his long sword was already moving.
Celestial River Nine Swords!
As he murmured the name, a wave of Sword Qi swept out from his long sword.
The Sword Qi was like a furious, coiling dragon, a terrifying, surging wave, pouncing directly at Wang Dong.
Simultaneously, an aura of extreme cold began to permeate the air.
Wherever the Cold Qi touched, ice crystals began to form in the Void.
This time, Ling Fei had clearly fused his True Dragon Power and Cold Dao Mystical into his Celestial River Nine Swords.
As his sword swept out, Wang Dong's Gang Qi had already arrived, piercing through the attack.
BANG!
The Gang Qi instantly pierced through the Sword River, continuing its unstoppable advance.
Those watching from afar felt their hearts leap into their throats at this sight.
"There really is a world of difference between the Celestial Spirit Realm and the Innate Realm!" Many of the young prodigies sighed.
"What a pity. With such a powerful Cold Dao Mystical, if he were in the Celestial Spirit Realm, he could've easily defeated Wang Dong." On one of the viewing platforms, Han Jing sighed repeatedly. He also cultivated the Cold Dao, but he could sense that his own Cold Dao Mystical was far inferior to Ling Fei's.
SWISH!
Just as the crowd was sighing in regret, Ling Fei had already launched his second sword strike.
His first strike had been shattered by Wang Dong's Gang Qi spear.
But this second strike managed to block Wang Dong's Gang Qi spear.
Their attacks intertwined, appearing to be evenly matched.
SWISH!
Just then, Ling Fei unleashed his third sword strike.
When this third strike emerged, all of Wang Dong's Gang Qi spears disintegrated.
Then, Ling Fei's river of Sword Qi, like a coiling, furious dragon, surged forward to clash with the long spear in Wang Dong's hands.
BANG!
The Sword Qi struck, shattering the Gang Qi emanating from Wang Dong's long spear. A massive force slammed into him, making his wrist tremble.
"Blazing Flame Burst!" Wang Dong's eyes narrowed. The Gang Qi on his long spear raged and then suddenly exploded outward.
In the face of this Gang Qi explosion, Ling Fei's third strike shattered.
Wang Dong took a great stride forward. With a shake of his long spear, he pierced through the lingering aftershocks and stabbed directly at Ling Fei, his Gang Qi roaring as it sought to envelop his target.
SWISH! SWISH!
At that moment, Ling Fei had already unleashed the fourth and fifth strikes of his Celestial River Nine Swords.
Each strike was incredibly powerful. By the time the sixth strike was unleashed, his momentum was starting to match Wang Dong's.
"He's actually holding his ground?" The others looked on, astonished.
BANG! BANG!
Wang Dong's face was a mask of astonishment, seeing his attacks blocked.
Ling Fei's Sword Momentum was now clearly much stronger than before.
"In that case, allow me to exert my full strength and defeat you in one fell swoop!" Wang Dong's eyes flashed. As his spear's momentum was blocked, he unexpectedly retreated in a burst of speed.
Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun.
SWISH!
Suddenly, Wang Dong moved. Wielding his long spear, he transformed into a rainbow of light as he thrust toward Ling Fei.
This time, his Gang Qi was retracted, no longer radiating outward. The Blazing Qi was completely condensed upon the spear. His body and spear merged into one, creating an overwhelming presence.
It seemed to be a simple strike, but it contained all of Wang Dong's Power. It was an Absolute Kill Strike.
The seventh and eighth swords of Celestial River Nine Swords!
Ling Fei executed both strikes in an instant.
BANG!
Under the assault of Wang Dong's long spear, the Sword River shattered, sending ice crystals flying.
"Wang Dong is finally using his full strength. Ling Fei is about to lose," someone sneered.
"Ling Fei!" Shangguan Yurou's face was filled with worry.
Wang Dong's momentum was immense. Man and spear had become one, a rainbow of unstoppable, razor-sharp Gang Qi.
'Condense my True Dragon Power!' At that moment, Ling Fei's pupils constricted. The True Dragon Power within his bloodline condensed and poured into his sword.
Celestial River Nine Swords—True Dragon Emerges from the Sea!
As the True Dragon Power poured into his long sword, Ling Fei moved as well.
SWISH!
Just as his eighth strike disintegrated, he shot forward like a furious dragon pouncing from the Sword River, directly meeting the scorching long spear head-on.
Wherever the sword passed, Cold Qi billowed, freezing heaven and earth. The True Dragon Momentum was irresistible, directly shattering Wang Dong's Gang Qi upon impact.
In that single moment, Ling Fei fused his True Dragon Power, the Cold Dao Mystical from his Cold Chi True Qi, and his True Sword Dao Intent, unleashing an astonishingly powerful attack.
CLANG!
A sound like steel striking steel rang out.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, they saw the Gang Qi on Wang Dong's long spear disintegrate. The blazing flame energy was frozen solid by the Cold Qi.
Wang Dong's wrist trembled, and his long spear was sent flying from his grasp.
As the spear clattered to the ground, a tyrannical wave of Sword Qi slammed into his body. He felt as if he were being struck by a legion of furious dragons.
The sound of cracking bones followed.
