Chapter 395: Scratching an Itch
“Falling at such a time. Are you afraid?”
“What am I afraid of? You? Hehe, then you might be thinking too highly of yourself.”
Wang Hongyu walked onto the stage and took the lead to pull out the Rose Sword behind him.
“Three years have passed and you still haven’t made any progress. As anticipated, I expected too much. Is there no one else in the Fire Sect? To let you take over the title as the number one disciple and waste this sword. If I have to say it, that foundation establishment realm kid just now is even more qualified than you.”
Lu Peng sneered and looked at Wang Hongyu who was walking toward him with a nosebleed. His eyes were filled with disdain.
Three years ago, Lu Peng had a battle with Wang Hongyu. In that battle, Wang Hongyu had lost completely. It could be said to be a one-sided suppression. Faced with Lu Peng’s fierce attack, he did not even have the chance to retaliate.
This time, Lu Peng could clearly feel that Wang Hongyu had not improved at all in terms of qi dynamics or cultivation. This made him very disappointed.
Three years ago, Fire Sect’s number one person, Wang Hongyu, Fengyue’s strongest, Han Feng, as well as Hualin’s heaven’s favorite, Lu Peng, who was himself, had agreed to fight again three years later.
However, now, Han Feng had been defeated by an unknown junior. Wang Hongyu had made him extremely disappointed. If it was not for the marriage proposal with Nalan Lengling, Lu Peng might not have participated.
However, now, he suddenly had a trace of interest.
Lu Peng looked at Victor from the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with the desire to fight!
Body cultivators were rare to begin with, and most were forced to cultivate their bodies due to the lack of talent. Up until now, only a handful of people were able to catch Lu Peng’s eye.
However, now, the Fire Sect suddenly had a disciple like Victor. He was only at the foundation establishment realm, but his qi and blood power was not inferior to a core formation realm cultivator. This talent was something that even Lu Peng was envious of!
Therefore, rather than wasting time with Wang Hongyu, it was better to fight with Victor.
“Wang Hongyu, you’d better give up. There’s no need to fight at all. You’re not my match.”
“Lu Peng, do you really think that you’re invincible within your realm?”
Although Wang Hongyu himself did not have the confidence to fight to a draw or even defeat Lu Peng, the more this situation was as such, the more he could not admit defeat. Giving up just like that would be too embarrassing. There was no other way, so Wang Hongyu could only follow the usual practice and start spouting rubbish.
“Wouldn’t you know by trying? Do you think you can kill me just by talking? Or do you actually not dare to fight me at all?”
“There’s no point in trying to goad me. Since you’re not afraid of death, let’s give it a try.”
Having said that, Lu Peng did not intend to waste any more time. After indicating to the referee that the battle could start, he flew toward Wang Hongyu at lightning speed!
As a body cultivator, especially Victor, the most important thing when facing a strong body cultivator like Lu Peng was to not let them get close to you!
Wang Hongyu naturally understood the terror of being close to a body cultivator. However, Lu Peng’s speed was too fast. He did not even have time to react before he was sent flying by a straight punch!
Following that, before Wang Hongyu could land on the ground, Lu Peng caught up again. His movements were smooth and without hindrance!
However, after three years of cultivation, Wang Hongyu had not improved at all. He used his qi to break through his body and forcefully turned his body to withstand Lu Peng’s sharp attack!
As he pulled away, Wang Hongyu’s arms trembled uncontrollably. If he did not strengthen his arms with spiritual power at the critical moment, both of his arms would have been kicked off by Lu Peng!
“Another two moves. Looks like I’ve underestimated you. However, with this level of skill, you still won’t be able to win.”
Lu Peng took a step forward and a tyrannical aura spread out, shattering more than half of the stage into dust!
Following that, a muffled sound was heard as the ground collapsed and shattered like a spider web!
Afterwards, Lu Peng once again closed in on Wang Hongyu. Clenching his fist tightly, he charged straight toward Wang Hongyu’s face!
“Rose Flowing Fire!”
At the critical moment, Wang Hongyu used his qi dynamics to activate the inscription formation hidden in the Rose Sword. Scorching flames gushed out, finally forcing Lu Peng to retreat and escaping a calamity!
However, Wang Hongyu knew clearly in his heart that Lu Peng knew his methods very well. If this continued, his spiritual energy would no longer be as abundant as Lu Peng’s physical strength.
“I can only decide the victor with one strike!”
At this thought, Wang Hongyu suddenly shut his eyes. In Lu Peng’s range of perception, Wang Hongyu seemed to have disappeared. However, Wang Hongyu was right in front of him.
“Heart Sword technique, break!”
Wang Hongyu shouted loudly. His figure was like a ghost as he disappeared on the spot!
After class, a dazzling sword light flashed and almost swallowed the entire arena!
A series of sword connections could be heard, and Lu Peng finally put away his solemn expression.
“In these three years, I knew I couldn’t breakthrough, so I became obsessed with the strongest sword decree. You can say that I haven’t improved at all, but can you, Lu Peng, take this move?”
When it came to his own sword move, Wang Hongyu was incomparably confident. He had used this move to fight against his master, but the result was that the two of them were tied!
Furthermore, his master’s evaluation of his sword technique was extremely high!
Unstoppable!
Looking at Lu Peng who was engulfed by the sword light, Wang Hongyu revealed a crafty smile.
He originally thought that using this technique as his trump card to reverse the situation would be worth it as long as he could kill Lu Peng’s spirit!
However, on the viewing platform, Victor shook his head in disdain.
“Let alone Lu Peng, even I can take this sword attack.”
Victor’s voice had just faded when the true power of the sword light finally erupted. However, Victor’s expression did not change at all.
Just as Nalan Lengling was puzzled, a bloody hand extended from the dazzling light!
In the next moment, the hand clenched its fist tightly and smashed toward the ground, blasting the entire martial arts practice field into pieces!
“I thought it was some powerful sword decree. I didn’t expect it to be so weak.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Peng strolled out from the sword light. The wounds on his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Wang Hongyu was dumbfounded!
Even the swordmaster was not able to handle this move with 100% certainty. Could it be that Lu Peng was already so powerful?
“Are you curious? Why am I not injured? Hehe, the reason is actually very simple. Your sword decree is too weak.”
At the same time, on the viewing platform, Victor was also explaining the reason to Nalan Lengling.
“The vitality of body cultivators is very tenacious, especially those who have cultivated to a certain level. As long as their brains and organs aren’t destroyed, there won’t be too much of a problem. Although Wang Hongyu’s sword edict looks very scary, in reality, it is equivalent to giving Lu Peng a scratch. Unless he can concentrate this energy on one spot, there is no way he can seriously injure Lu Peng.”
