Chapter 100 - 93: Martial Arts Exchange Finale
The Demon-Slaying Staff swung high, smashing down toward Weijing’s head.
Before the staff could even land, a flurry of its afterimages was already rushing toward Weijing.
Weijing raised his sword to parry. Amidst a storm of Sword Energy, the two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.
Realizing he was no match for Yuann Kong, Weijing resolutely activated his Demon Fiend Bloodline.
As the Demon Fiend Bloodline activated, a layer of fine, snow-white scales erupted across Weijing’s skin.
His tongue flicked out involuntarily, now a forked serpent’s tongue.
The most dramatic change was to his Sword Energy, which had taken on an Ice Snow Attribute.
Wherever the Sword Energy passed, rocks froze and shattered. It was far more lethal!
’They’re combining Bloodline Power with Martial Arts again,’ Lu Changfeng thought. ’It seems Daliang has studied this field extensively.’
In the arena, Yuann Kong, now severely suppressed, finally decided to play his trump card!
The black Staff Intent surrounding him suddenly grew denser, and a moment later, it coalesced into the form of a massive black gorilla that enveloped his entire body!
The Visualization of Martial Arts True Intent! This was, without a doubt, Advanced Martial Arts True Intent!
"Die!"
Yuann Kong brought his staff crashing down.
The black gorilla mimicked his movements, and a staff shadow dozens of meters long came crashing down with a deafening roar!
Weijing summoned torrents of icy Sword Energy to defend himself, but they were no match for Yuann Kong’s Advanced Staff Intent!
Yuann Kong’s visualized Martial Arts True Intent was, true to its form, the very embodiment of a single word: savage!
Weijing was brutally slammed into the ground by the staff’s shadow.
A moment later, the afterimage of the staff vanished.
Suddenly, a white object shot toward Yuann Kong at blinding speed.
It was Weijing’s head, which had completely transformed into a giant tongue, lunging forward to bite.
"Hmph!"
Before the white mass could even get close to Yuann Kong, the gorilla formed by his Martial Arts True Intent threw a punch, sending it flying.
"Just die!"
Yuann Kong once again condensed the staff’s shadow with his Martial Arts True Intent, smashing it down again and again.
With each of Yuann Kong’s strikes, white ice began to spread from the point of impact.
But Yuann Kong didn’t stop, continuing his relentless assault.
The white ice would form, only to be shattered; it would form again, and again be smashed to pieces.
The stamina drain from using Advanced Martial Arts True Intent was immense, and Yuann Kong was soon left panting from exhaustion.
Finally, the white ice below stopped forming.
Yuann Kong then dispersed the staff’s shadow, and the gorilla surrounding him rapidly dissipated.
He looked over and saw Weijing curled into an unmoving ball in the deep crater, his condition unknown.
Atop the high platform, the Daliang National Preceptor rose to his feet and left without a word.
His gesture said it all.
"National Preceptor, why are you leaving so soon?" Mansion Master Hong Ying asked, though he already knew the answer.
The National Preceptor replied, "The delegation departs for Daliang tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality, Mansion Master."
Back in the plaza, Jin Changsong leaped onto the stage and declared Yuann Kong the victor.
With this, Jiangnan Prefecture held five wins to three losses. The ninth match was no longer necessary, and the Martial Arts exchange was declared over.
Having won the match, Yuann Kong stared at the Demon-Slaying Staff in his hands with some disbelief. He had thought he might also find himself on the receiving end of a Heaven-shaking Thunder.
It seemed the Daliang Country had truly run out of tricks.
Powerful as the Demon Fiend Bloodline was, it was ultimately no match for the sheer depth of talent in Jiangnan Prefecture.
This time, Advanced Martial Arts True Intent had thoroughly vanquished the Demon Fiend Bloodline.
At some point, the remaining contestants from the Daliang Country had slipped away with the delegation.
The plaza was filled with the sounds of celebration.
This time, Jiangnan Prefecture had won a resounding victory.
In the face of such a great victory, few paid any mind to the fallen Ding Yang and Chen Xuanfeng.
Lu Changfeng had kept a close watch on the members of the delegation.
After seeing the delegation members leave the Prince’s Mansion, Lu Changfeng also made his exit. He skipped the victory banquet, using the excuse that he had just condensed Advanced Martial Arts True Intent and needed to return to his Martial Arts Hall for secluded cultivation.
He personally watched the delegation members enter an inn to rest. Then, Lu Changfeng had Zhisha release several emergency carrier pigeons left behind by Xuansha.
Afterward, the four of them waited in a small, nearby teahouse.
A full moon hung high in the sky as Lu Changfeng quietly awaited the arrival of Xuansha with the main force of the Dark Buddha Demon Sect.
Thinking about the Buddha Heart Pills and Demon Fiend Bloodlines that were almost in his grasp, Lu Changfeng couldn’t help but lick his lips.
Tonight, Jiangzhou City would not be peaceful.
