Human hearts are made of flesh.
Ling Feng did not abandon them, and they would not abandon Ling Feng.
But at this critical moment, apart from watching Liu Yangâs sword edge closer to Ling Feng, the two had no opportunity or strength to lend a helping hand.
"Clang!"
The long spear and the long sword clashed.
Ling Feng still used the Basic Spear Technique, the first form, Cyan Dragon Emerges from Water Linked Spear, straightforward and plain, without displaying a flurry of spear shadows.
Yet it accurately and unmistakably struck Liu Yangâs long sword.
Liu Yangâs sword was sharp and unstoppable, slicing through iron like mud, seemingly able to collapse all defenses and attacks under this sword.
But when it collided with the long spear, the sharpness on the sword instantly dimmed, as if swallowed by a Water Dragon.
Ling Fengâs spear continued to thrust forward.
Not only did he break Liu Yangâs unstoppable sword with one strike, but he also used the Chain Spear to force Liu Yangâs advance back step by step.
Seizing this opportunity.
His mental telekinesis wrapped around two vines, binding the dazed Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, hurling them to the mountain top.
"Hmph!"
Liu Yang was enraged.
Quickly slashing out a sword, intending to intercept the dazed Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, aiming to severely injure them with one sword, but a spear shadow covered over, once again blocking his long sword.
Clang!
Several clangs followed.
Still the straightforward Cyan Dragon Emerges from Water Linked Spear, although Liu Yang blocked them all, he had to be fully focused to deal with it, watching helplessly as Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, aided by Ling Fengâs mental telekinesis, flew to the mountain top.
Bang!
Tied together, they fell onto the mountain top, successfully passing the fifth trial and advancing to the sixth round.
"Ling Feng!"
The two simultaneously broke the vines.
Got up and looked down.
Only to see Ling Feng standing with his spear, speaking to Liu Yang firmly: "You want a piece of me! Letâs see whether you eliminate me or I eliminate you!"
"Ling Feng..."
Liu Chuan held his breath.
"Fourth-Line Martial Arts Student?"
Zhuang Lifan stood up from the boulder, stunned.
The other First and Second-Line Martial Arts Students on the mountain top also walked to the edge, looking towards Ling Feng, each gaze filled with shock and disbelief.
A Fourth-Line Martial Arts Student, surprisingly able to block Liu Yangâs attack, and even under Liu Yangâs nose, sent Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan to the mountain top, allowing them to advance simultaneously.
This broke their understanding, making them feel like they had seen a ghost, looking incredulously at everything.
"Ling Feng... his spear skills seem..."
In the observation room, King of North of the River breathed rapidly, never expecting Ling Feng to make it through this round, even as Ling Feng, Liu Chuan, and Lin Chunchi were about to reach the mountain top, King of North of the River still felt things werenât that simple.
And sure enough, Liu Yang appeared.
With just one sword, he repelled Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan, at that time, he and many in the observation room seemed to see Ling Feng and the others stopping at the fifth round.
Yet unexpectedly, Ling Feng, with only Qi Realm cultivation, continuously blocked Liu Yangâs swords, even during this, repelled Liu Yang, using mental telekinesis to send Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan to the mountain top.
Everyone clearly realized that with Ling Fengâs strength, if at that time, he didnât care about Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, after first repelling Liu Yang, he still had a chance to reach the mountain top.
But he didnât do that, leaving the opportunity for Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi.
Whether he didnât want to drag down Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, or was full of confidence, believing he could compete with Liu Yang?
"Seeking death!"
At this moment, aside from Liu Yang, there wasnât anyone else feeling more annoyed and frustrated, even Liu Bayuan lying on a stretcher, watching Ling Feng able to match Liu Yang via drone broadcast, his resentment towards Ling Feng wasnât as strong.
Liu Yang didnât pause, his sword technique once again enveloped Ling Feng.
All of this seemed to have taken a long time, but in reality, it all happened in an instant, everyone had no time to think as Ling Feng and Liu Yang clashed once more.
"Boom!"
Wind, fire, lightning, water, woodâsix elemental forces condensed into one sword, Liu Yang expended all his strength, simultaneously stirring the vortex in his abdomen, making this sword possess the power to completely destroy everything.
Forward slashed with one sword.
Thunderstorm prevailing.
Lightning and thunder, seemingly splitting Asura Peak with one sword, the terrifying power akin to truly merging with lightning, forming a thunderous might.
"Boom!"
Ling Feng held the spear with both hands, stepping forward continuously, still using the Basic Thirteen Forms, intercepting left and right at the core hall, continuously piercing towards Liu Yangâs chest and brow.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightningâseven elemental forces resonated with the long spear, the strong Five Elements Basic Power making Ling Fengâs spear solid as fortresses, as if a tsunami came crashing, he could tear through it.
That steady spear technique, like tearing gaps in a tempest.
The long spear and Liu Yangâs long sword collided continuously.
The sound of thunder is unceasing.
A hurricane carrying thunder released from the spear technique.
Clang!
Boom!
The ultimate collision of the long spear and long sword.
Ling Fengâs feet sunk into the ground, cracks appearing around his feet, the gaseous armor on him wavering, while Liu Yang retreated six or seven steps, looking at Ling Feng incredulously, unable to help but tremble and say: "Skills transcending the Five Elements, youâve actually established Five Elements Basic Power, you..."
