Chapter 640 635: Bu Fengning Battles Qingya
"I've wanted to spar with you for three years, and this time, I finally get the chance."
Cold light flashed in Bu Fengning's eyes as his divine sword met the attack of the Angel of Slaughter.
On the second arena, Qingya had also summoned the three shikigami from before, standing aloof in the distance, letting the Angel of Slaughter charge out.
"You wouldn't be a match for me."
Qingya said coldly, having already lost one point, he must win on Bu Fengning's side!
There were still eight battles to come, and he couldn't lose any more of them; otherwise, he wouldn't even secure second place. Ye Feng's strength had been a complete surprise; Qingya had always thought he was strong enough, freakishly so among the younger generation. In his early thirties, he had already touched the great power of the Yin-Yang Realm, a rare genius of the century.
But unexpectedly, the monster that was the Northern Border King Ye Feng had emerged.
Though the number one Golden Dragon Shield was gone, he was determined to claim the number two Black Jiao Battle Halberd, which he himself did not use but could be wielded by his shikigami. Shikigami, though summoned, could indeed use magic treasures.
The stronger his shikigami, the stronger his own power would be.
"Who is stronger and who is weaker, that remains to be seen!"
Bu Fengning snorted coldly, having already sent the Angel of Slaughter flying with a single sword strike. However, it was just that – sent flying – the Angel of Slaughter was not injured, and the Light Sword in his hands kept slashing from afar, with sword light flying out.
Bu Fengning's gaze grew sharp, and the divine sword in his hand suddenly blazed with light, a formidable aura burst forth, sending a solid sword light shooting out like a meteor, smashing all the sword lights from the Angel of Slaughter.
The Angel of Slaughter's face changed slightly, he immediately adopted a defensive posture, and with a bang, his entire figure still went tumbling back dozens of meters before coming to a halt, the jade hand holding the Light Sword also trembling slightly.
Qingya's eyebrows raised; Bu Fengning's strength was somewhat surprising to him, more troublesome than anticipated.
"Why don't you have all your three shikigami come at once? Is it to line up and be sent to their deaths one by one?"
Bu Fengning burst into laughter, continuously taunting, his eyes ablaze with eagerness for battle. He had been looking forward to this fight for three years, Ye Feng was an unforeseen complication, which he hadn't taken too seriously. Eventually, he would reclaim his spot in this arena.
Qingya's gaze narrowed slightly at the sight of Bu Fengning's audacious demeanor, and he was reminded of Ye Feng just moments ago. He snorted coldly, "If that's what you want, then I'll grant it to you!"
With hands forming seals, both the Blood Demon Monk and the Dark Raven Demon charged out simultaneously.
Around the high platforms, many powerful fighters were also paying close attention to this grand battle, an encounter many had eagerly anticipated three years before.
"Bu Fengning's strength is terrifying; being blasted off the stage by Ye Feng in one hit doesn't mean he's weak."
"Both appear to be at the top level of the Golden Core Realm, but it seems like Bu Fengning has not yet touched the Yin-Yang Realm, I wonder if he'll be a match for Qingya."
"Hard to say, the Angel of Slaughter was already blown away in one move; Bu Fengning might just win."
"Qingya has summoned all three shikigami together!"
"Now the real fight begins, aside from Ye Feng, perhaps only Bu Fengning in the Golden Core Realm could force Qingya to have all three shikigami fight at once."
A crowd of onlookers curiously watched, speculating about the outcome of the battle, a clash that had been missed three years ago.
After the battle of the Genius Ranking Tournament ended three years ago, Qingya went into secluded cultivation in the Yin-Yang Temple, only occasionally venturing out to hunt alien beasts. Bu Fengning, on the other hand, after breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, had been seen in various danger zones, even in one of the Four Great Desolate Lands, Ice Prison Valley, though that was just a rumor. Except for Bu Fengning himself, no one else knew for sure if it was true.
On Xuanyuan Hall's high platform, Sausage Sister watched the fight below.
Sausage Sister spoke up, "This fellow who was blown away by Ye Feng with one move has proven to be far stronger than expected; in fact, he's extremely powerful!"
Sausage Sister's face was grave. She could feel the threat emanating from Bu Fengning, and watching the two fight, she knew Bu Fengning was indeed a top-level powerhouse.
Long Nannan snorted beside her, dismissing it with, "That guy who lost to Little Martial Uncle is nothing special. Even if I fought him, I could definitely beat him to the ground!"
Long Nannan swung her fists, a cheerful grin on her face.
Seeing this, Ye Feng chuckled and playfully ruffled Long Nannan's hair, saying in exasperation, "With your little bit of strength, forget it. Bu Fengning's strength is nothing to scoff at, and if you really fought him, you wouldn't last more than a few moves."
Ye Feng said this as he watched the fierce battle on the second platform.
Bu Fengning was indeed a genius and very strong, something he had to admit. It wouldn't take long before touching the threshold of the Yin-Yang Realm, and his strength was not much weaker than Qingya's.
He had merely taken advantage of the rules, converting the power of the Emperor's Sky-Flipping Seal into an impact force, which sent Bu Fengning off the platform. If they were to truly fight, Ye Feng felt that the battle could be somewhat troublesome.
Long Nannan stuck out her tongue, clearly a bit unconvinced, but she closed her mouth and said no more.
On the second platform, when Qingya let three Shikigami attack together, Bu Fengning clearly felt the pressure. He was wearing a set of cyan battle armor, which was evidently a formidable defensive magic treasure.
But facing the three Shikigami of the same top-level grandmasters of the Golden Core Realm, he inevitably suffered some injuries.
Despite being injured, Bu Fengning still displayed a strong fighting spirit, continuously launching sword moves and bombarding the three powerful Shikigami.
Qingya's eyes were also very solemn; Bu Fengning was truly not easy to deal with. He had to let the three Shikigami attack together to suppress him, for any less than three Shikigami would not be a match for Bu Fengning!
Controlling three Shikigami at the same time was highly consumptive.
On the second platform, the battle raged on, powerful shockwaves rocking the audience and leaving them in awe, yet they watched with great interest. Such battles between the strong were the most exciting.
After a long stalemate, Qingya eventually launched a burst of power, with the three Shikigami executing a combined attack that, despite Bu Fengning's effort to endure, still blasted him off the platform.
However, this time Bu Fengning did not complain or rage like before; instead, he laughed heartily outside the arena: "Exhilarating, exhilarating!"
Bu Fengning, his mouth dripping blood, continued to laugh as he stepped back onto the platform, bowed to Qingya, and said, "This time, I, Bu, have fallen short. Next time, we shall battle again."
Seeing this, Qingya also nodded lightly, respect visible in his eyes. Bu Fengning was indeed a powerful opponent; although Qingya had defeated him, his Daoist robe was somewhat ragged, having sustained several minor injuries from Bu Fengning's strikes.
Moreover, neither of them had gone all out. If a deathmatch were to ensue, it would not be the same as now, and the ultimate outcome was still an unknown.
Mainly, Bu Fengning wasn't very interested in the Black Jiao Battle Halberd, and he understood after exchanging blows that he still had some gaps to bridge with Qingya, and unless it was a deathmatch, he would definitely not be able to beat Qingya.
But it was the Genius Ranking Competition, and the two were not sworn enemies; there were other scoring matches to fight, so naturally, they wouldn't engage in a life-and-death struggle. However, the fight showed that both had almost exerted their strongest capabilities in the duel.
This battle also won applause from many powerful figures; both had exhibited extreme strength, and the fight was exhilarating and satisfying.
On the spectator's stand, Ye Feng felt that the outcome matched his expectations; Qingya's realm of power was indeed a bit higher than Bu Fengning's.
After challenging Bu Fengning, Qingya began quickly absorbing the power of the Spirit Essence from the spirit stones, recovering from his recent exertion.
After half an hour, Qingya continued and challenged the next strong contender, Ke Li, who was on the fourth platform.
But this time, Ke Li conceded directly without engaging in battle with Qingya.
When Ke Li conceded, Qingya also gave him a deep look, sensing that Ke Li was not weak, yet he had chosen to surrender immediately.
Without dwelling on it any further, Qingya moved from one platform to the next, encountering the same situation as Ye Feng had before; the remaining seven competitors were unwilling to fight him, all choosing to concede directly like Ke Li.
The audience wasn't surprised; after all, they all knew that Qingya's strength was enough to completely crush anyone, and it was quite clear that in the scoring matches against real powerhouses, usually only one or two battles are needed to establish prestige before everyone.
Knowing they were no match, they naturally wouldn't seek humiliation by engaging powerful opponents with whom they had a large disparity. Thus, Qingya's battles ended quickly, and he effortlessly secured eight points. Securing the second position on the Genius Ranking was all but guaranteed.
The person who drew the number three token was Savis.
However, after glancing around at everyone on the platforms, this individual flew straight to Xuanyuan Hall's high platform and, bowing to the First Hall Master, said, "Hall Master, I concede all my upcoming scoring matches. I admit defeat."
With his hoarse voice, Savis spoke, his head lowered.
This unexpected declaration left even the First Hall Master stunned, not anticipating that Savis would make such a choice, and the spectators were equally baffled. To voluntarily give up all the scoring matches?
Was he content with being at the bottom, settling for tenth place?
Ye Feng looked at Savis with a peculiar glint in his eyes; the man probably realized that he was no match for the others, so he simply chose to concede everything in advance?
What do you think?
