Chapter 49: Fierce Battle
The second round!
When it was announced from the judge's mouth that the first game of the second round would be Mu Lie against Mu Feng, everyone's spirits were lifted.
Murong Li was naturally one of the top-notch experts among the thirty-two people, and Murong Feng's performance in the first round was also quite eye-catching. The encounter between these two would definitely spark a collision, making the drowsy crowd start to wait with bated breath.
Mo Lian coldly laughed and secretly said: Mo Feng, let you see my ferocity. Mo Feng had embarrassed him, and he was a person who would definitely retaliate, today he decided to make Mo Feng lose face in front of everyone.
Mo Feng heard the first opponent, guessing that Mo Lie had made a move in the middle. However, he was not afraid at all, secretly thinking: Since you've come to my doorstep, I won't be polite.
The other fifteen arenas were already in full swing, but Mu Feng and Mu Lie had not made a move. The two men's thoughts were surprisingly similar: wait for the remaining fifteen matches to finish, and then defeat their opponents under everyone's gaze.
On the other fifteen martial arts stages, there were two martial arts stages that also attracted people's attention. On one of the martial arts stages, a black-clothed youth had reached the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm and was also one of the most popular candidates for the championship this year.
On another martial arts stage, a girl in yellow clothes danced like a butterfly, using the Butterfly Palm technique, which was also a top-grade martial art. Facing her opponent, she had a relaxed expression, but her strength had actually reached the middle of the Nascent Soul stage.
Half a time later, the 15 martial arts platforms ended one after another, and of course, the black-clad youth Mu Sheng and the yellow-shirted girl also advanced to the third round with ease.
Muli saw that the other fifteen martial arts platforms had all ended their matches and finally couldn't help but shout, "Mu Feng, it's our turn!"
In Mofeng's heart, a strong desire to fight also surged forth. The Mo Lie in front of him was the strongest opponent he had ever met. If he could defeat him, it would be a qualitative improvement for him, whether in terms of confidence or strength.
"Cut the crap, where did all this nonsense come from!"
A cold glint flashed across Muli's face, and the profound energy in his body surged out like a raging river, causing the onlookers to catch their breath. Even the black-clad youth Mu Sheng and the yellow-robed girl's eyes underwent a change.
"What a powerful Xuanli fluctuation, far surpassing the average Huaqi realm mid-term small achievement."
"The Mu family is indeed hiding dragons and tigers. A 16-year-old youth actually possesses such terrifying strength."
Mu Lie's face revealed a sinister smile as he bellowed: "Mu Feng, watch the fist!"
"Crashing Ocean Fist, Astonishing Heaven and Earth!"
A fierce and violent sea of air came rushing forward, countless fist shadows mixed with the huge mysterious power waves surged forth, making the entire martial arts stage seem as if it was being swallowed by an invisible sea of fist shadows.
Po Hai Quan, Huang Jie upper-grade martial art, its power is several times stronger than Huang Jie middle and lower grade martial arts. This is also because Mu Lie's outstanding performance was specially rewarded by the clan. This time, Mu Lie only came for Xuan Jie lower-grade martial art, and Huang Jie upper-grade martial art no longer has any attraction to him.
Mo Feng's face turned solemn, he could clearly feel the power of Mo Lie's punch on the martial stage, and from this punch alone, Mo Lie was many times stronger than Mo Xiang.
"Shattered Golden Palm, shattered into four or five pieces!"
If they could reach the realm of creation, these moves would be substantialized in a creative way, and the power of the moves would increase exponentially. However, for now, both of them are only at the stage of transforming energy, and can only achieve a vague resemblance.
The Xuanli Palm Seal, carrying a domineering and fierce aura, heavily slapped onto the Xuanli wave. Countless fist shadows bombarded the Xuanli Palm Seal, each impact causing it to dissipate. When the last fist shadow struck, the palm seal finally shattered into pieces.
Divide the autumn colors!
Two streams of mysterious energy collided, causing a wave to surge outward from the martial arena, shocking the crowd in the stands and even affecting the three people on the high platform.
"Mu Chengzhi, you've given birth to a good son!" The red-faced old man sneered, revealing a hint of resentment that was hard to detect.
The two men exchanged blows, with the first move being a fierce collision, which also caused everyone's faces to change color. This match was considered one of the most exciting from the start, but in terms of effect, this excitement had already exceeded everyone's expectations.
However, Mu Lie uses the top-grade Yellow Stage martial arts, while Mu Feng uses the mid-grade Yellow Stage martial arts. On the surface, Mu Feng's cultivation is lower than Mu Lie's, so in reality, Mu Feng's actual strength should be higher than Mu Lie's. This point was realized by the red-faced old man and others with slightly higher cultivation.
Mu Lie saw that this punch did not achieve the expected effect, and he was also slightly surprised. He could feel that the aura emanating from Mu Feng's body had increased significantly compared to before, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
In the Mu family, Mu Lie was also considered a talented individual, but he was shocked by Mu Feng's rapid progress.
Before, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat him with three moves, after all, his own cultivation and strength were far superior to Mufeng's. But today, after the two of them exchanged one move, this confidence had shaken a bit.
Just a moment ago, I was full force in one blow, intending to quickly establish dominance. Unexpectedly, however, Mufeng received it as if it were nothing, and this kind of strength is no longer something to be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Mu Lie not only put away his underestimating thoughts, but also became serious. Among the young generation of the Mu family, although he was not the most outstanding, he was also among the best, and he would never do something like being careless and underestimating others.
Mo Feng gazed at Mo Lie who had turned serious, and inwardly praised him. At the same time, he stirred up the Xuanli within his body, preparing to meet the opponent's attack.
Just now that one palm, Mufeng also made his best effort, and only managed to tie with Mulian. If they really fought, it's hard to say who would win or lose.
Mo Lie's right foot stomped fiercely, using the force to propel his body towards Mo Feng at a rapid pace. His fists shot out swiftly, striking Mo Feng's chest with incredible speed, accompanied by a whistling sound that shattered the air, like a powerful cannonball. If an ordinary early-stage Qi-refining warrior were to take this hit, even if it was just a graze, they would be injured.
Watching Mu Lie's fierce offensive, Mu Chengzhi's heart was almost in his throat. If Mu Feng lost this round, then returning to the clan would become an illusion. However, seeing that his son and Mu Lie's cultivation differed by so much, it seemed that the chances of winning were not great, which also made him somewhat anxious.
Mo Feng's eyes were fixed intently on Mo Lie's figure, his keen senses clearly perceiving the direction and force of Mo Lie's attack. As he watched the fist shadow growing larger in his eyes, the willow-shaped fist that had been practiced countless times was executed with extreme familiarity.
"Willow Fist, Wind Willow Dancing!"
The two crashed into each other with a stunning force, but the expected crashing sound did not occur.
Moft's flexible limbs, like a willow swaying in the wind, transformed Moft's fierce and sharp fists into a gentle breeze, rendering the ferocious attack invisible.
On the martial arts stage, two figures clashed back and forth, their intense battle sending shockwaves of energy outward, causing the onlookers in the distance to feel the gusts of wind brush against their faces, leaving a faint stinging sensation.
Mo Lian's heart was shocked by the more intense battle, although the opponent's martial arts skills were not high, but extremely skilled, and managed to take down all of his attacks, and in that soft and powerful force, there was still a hint of strong and fierce power, making him have to divide his attention to defend against it.
Mo Lian felt extremely stifled in his heart, obviously his own strength was higher than Mo Feng's by a notch, but there was a feeling of having great power with no place to use it, making him feel like vomiting blood.
The people around watched the two fall into a stalemate, and they also stared intently. At first, they didn't think much of Mufeng, but now, no one dared to underestimate this strange young man again.
Even the elder Mo on stage nodded repeatedly after seeing it. For a young man with no resources and no high-quality martial arts, being able to fight evenly with Mo Lie was extremely rare.
The middle-aged bald man was looking at Mu Feng with a face full of appreciation. The others on the high platform were also chatting with each other, praising Mu Feng excessively, except for the red-faced old man who had a gloomy face.
"Crashing Ocean Fist, Shocking Heaven's Giant Wave!"
"Crashing Sea Fist, Shocking Waves!"
Mu Lie immediately followed up with a flurry of punches, and the fierce Xuanli Qi rushed towards him. It seems that Mu Lie's cultivation method is not high in rank, but he is also on the path of Yang Gang.
Mo Feng tightly furrowed his brows, and the profound energy with a hint of Yang's overbearing aura also poured out without any reserve. As his fists danced, countless fist silhouettes burst forth.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Two figures intertwined, the sound of their powers colliding unceasingly, and in an instant, they had exchanged several fierce blows.
With a dull thud, both of them flew backward and left two deep skid marks on the martial arts stage. Their faces were slightly pale due to the impact of the mysterious force.
