Chapter 375 - 51: The Final Match!

Chapter 375: Chapter 51: The Final Match!

Amidst the crowd’s gaze, Yan Qingshuang ascended the stage, carrying a longsword. Her white robe fluttered gracefully, her jet-black hair cascading like a waterfall, exuding an air of heroic elegance.

Opposite her, Luo Cheng wore a plain blue robe, a slender treasure sword at his waist. The ancient scabbard emanated a faint flickering flame light, its sharpness restrained but palpable!

“Luo Cheng, congratulations on comprehending the High-level Human Sword Integration.”

Yan Qingshuang looked at Luo Cheng with a faint smile, her eyes carrying a hint of curiosity and surprise.

Luo Cheng replied with a smile, “Compared to your Sword Dao Realm, it’s nothing worth mentioning. Besides, I owe this achievement to you. Otherwise, it would’ve taken me some more time.”

He was telling the truth. Without Yan Qingshuang’s earlier words acting as a catalyst, Luo Cheng wouldn’t have understood the High-level Human Sword Integration so quickly.

At the very least, it would’ve taken ten more days.

While Luo Cheng spoke nonchalantly, Yan Qingshuang’s heart quivered.

Though she had vaguely speculated, hearing Luo Cheng admit it personally still left her deeply shocked.

Just by hearing her words, he grasped the High-level Human Sword Integration!

Was the Sword Dao Realm really such an easy thing to cultivate?

The two conversed freely, with no trace of hostility or tension in the air.

Seeing this scene, Hua Jingyang recalled Yan Qingshuang’s cold demeanor toward him and was instantly consumed by jealousy and anger!

“Excellent! Now, I have one more reason to kill you!”

Hua Jingyang’s gaze landed on Luo Cheng, growing increasingly icy.

On the stage.

Buzz!

Yan Qingshuang drew her sword, and a fierce sword aura surged forth, bursting like raging waves toward Luo Cheng. She said:

“Since you’ve already comprehended the High-level Human Sword Integration, I no longer need to worry about an unworthy victory.”

Luo Cheng nodded, “That’s for the best. I’d also like to see how my Sword Dao Realm compares to yours. Hold nothing back; give it your all.”

Clang!

As his words fell, the Flame Trace Sword was unsheathed, and an equally sharp sword aura shot skyward, directly opposing Yan Qingshuang’s.

Boom!

The two sword auras clashed, stirring turbulent winds and clouds. The air around the entire stage vibrated, and the clouds above fractured into a massive opening!

“What terrifying sword auras!”

The crowd erupted in astonishment, not daring to even blink their eyes.

Battles between top-tier swordsmen often featured moves that were swift, precise, and ruthless. The outcome could be decided in an instant, even without grandiose displays!

Yan Qingshuang didn’t immediately strike. Seeing Luo Cheng’s calm and unflustered demeanor, she couldn’t help but ask:

“Luo Cheng, do you really want to fight me? You’ve seen my strength; you probably don’t have much chance of winning.”

Luo Cheng hadn’t expected Yan Qingshuang to ask such a question suddenly and paused briefly before answering:

“Your swordsmanship is exquisite, particularly that final strike where you embodied the sword itself. It already bears the signs of drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth. You’re likely not far from comprehending Sword Intent. However, until you truly grasp Sword Intent, you’re not my match.”

Luo Cheng spoke calmly and evenly, his words flowing smoothly.

Boom!

The spectators were stunned into silence by Luo Cheng’s words.

The number one Sword Dao genius of the outer sect from the Three Sects, Yan Qingshuang herself, was said to be no match before fully understanding Sword Intent!

What kind of joke was this!

Even the most arrogant wouldn’t make such a claim!

This was arrogance at its peak!

“Heh, so he’s just a fool!” Hua Jingyang sneered coldly.

Yan Qingshuang’s gaze shifted subtly. For some reason, Luo Cheng’s words didn’t strike her as arrogant or unpleasant.

It was a kind of confidence—a kind of invincible, overwhelming confidence!

After pondering for a moment, Yan Qingshuang asked, “If your opponent for this battle had been Hua Jingyang, how would you have chosen?”

Luo Cheng replied calmly, “Honestly, I thought this battle would be against him. I didn’t expect to face you first.”

Looking into Luo Cheng’s eyes, Yan Qingshuang fell silent momentarily before exhaling softly,

“I understand.”

And then, in a quieter tone, she added:

“Luo Cheng, there’s one thing I must warn you about. For some reason, Hua Jingyang can use Earth Evil True Fire to boost his combat strength! Earth Evil True Fire can burn Essence Energy and wound the spirit—it’s incredibly tyrannical. Be extremely cautious.”

“Earth Evil True Fire!”

Luo Cheng finally understood the nature of that dark-red flame. He expressed his gratitude, “Thank you!”

Clang!

After a meaningful look at Luo Cheng, Yan Qingshuang suddenly sheathed her sword. “I’m looking forward to your battle with him. I concede!”

Leaving behind this statement, Yan Qingshuang leaped off the stage.

This scene left everyone present stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

No one had expected Yan Qingshuang to voluntarily concede to Luo Cheng!

After all, Yan Qingshuang had been so fierce and fearless when confronting the overbearing Hua Jingyang earlier!

Yet now, facing Luo Cheng, she voluntarily gave up!

This abrupt shift was utterly shocking and overturned everyone’s expectations.

Hua Jingyang’s face darkened ominously. That a mere Luo Cheng dared to look down on him like this!

Moreover, during their earlier duel, he had repeatedly urged Yan Qingshuang to concede, but she had refused. Yet now she voluntarily conceded to Luo Cheng!

What was the meaning of this?

Sun Yingyang cast a venomous glance at Luo Cheng and said to Hua Jingyang:

“This is a good thing! Since Yan Qingshuang has conceded, Luo Cheng is now in second place. Next, it’s your turn to face him in the final duel. Prepare well and make sure to kill him!!”

Hearing this, a chilling glint flashed in Hua Jingyang’s eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.

“Understood. I’ll make him pay for provoking me.”

Elder Ren Kui from the Fierce Cloud Sect warned, “Be especially careful this time. Stay highly alert! This time, I don’t want any unforeseen incidents!”

Hua Jingyang’s eyes brimmed with killing intent as he replied, “Rest assured, Great Elder. There will be no surprises.”

Yan Qingshuang returned to the direction of the Luoxia Sect.

The disciples of the Luoxia Sect were equally stunned by her decision.

Yan Qingshuang glanced at Elder Bi Qiuyun and said, “Master, I…”

Bi Qiuyun gently shook her head, “No need to explain. Since you chose to do this, you must have your reasons.”

Yan Qingshuang took a deep breath. “I’m not his match.”

Hearing this, Bi Qiuyun’s gaze steadied as she turned to look at Luo Cheng, her eyes sharp and piercing:

“I trust your judgment. If that’s truly the case, we’re about to witness a good show. This Luo Cheng, rumored to have awakened a Wasted Martial Soul—I’m curious to see where his confidence to contend with Hua Jingyang comes from!”

Yan Qingshuang sat down silently.

In truth, she hadn’t said one more thing.

She felt that Hua Jingyang wouldn’t be Luo Cheng’s match either.

But such an intuition was so unbelievable even she found it hard to accept!

Xuanyuan Sect.

Elder Chen Xuan and the Ninth Elder both looked at Luo Cheng with solemn expressions.

The Ninth Elder said, “Luo Cheng, are you really planning to fight Hua Jingyang? You’ve seen his strength. Based on my estimation, his real combat ability is equivalent to that of a Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert!”

Luo Cheng glanced at Hua Jingyang and replied, “Master, Ninth Elder, you don’t need to worry. He’s no match for me. You’ll see soon enough.”

Elder Chen Xuan saw the resolve in Luo Cheng’s tone and knew that further persuasion would be futile. He said, “Then be very careful. If the situation turns unfavorable, leave the stage immediately!”

The Ninth Elder added, “Indeed. As long as you leave the stage, no one can harm you!”

Seeing this impending showdown with Hua Jingyang, Elder Xue Yun, who had been disappointed by Yan Qingshuang’s surrender, now had her eyes alight with anticipation once more.

The fifteenth round had only three matches in total, which soon came to an end.

Because of Yan Qingshuang’s concession, Luo Cheng secured second place, meaning he would have to face Hua Jingyang in an additional match to determine the final ranking!

This would be the last match of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition and the decisive final duel!

Every eye was riveted on the two contestants.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

The two figures simultaneously appeared on the stage!
