Thunk!

Qin Tian landed on the arena once again, retreating three steps, his chest surging with intense pain!

"Didn't you say you can do the True Qi Six Explosions? I can too!"

At this moment, Qin Tian was already internally injured. Chu Lingfeng seized the opportunity and attacked aggressively with a True Qi Six Explosions!

Originally, he thought that after using the True Qi Fiery Flame Palm, Qin Tian would definitely be knocked off the arena.

Unexpectedly, Qin Tian chose to suffer internal injuries rather than clash head-on with the palm, which caught Chu Lingfeng off guard. He was slightly surprised by Qin Tian's resilience.

Chu Lingfeng's mastery of the True Qi Six Explosions was impeccable. Using this move against Qin Tian was his way of teaching a lesson, showcasing the power of True Qi Six Explosions.

"Alright, I'll take this move of yours!"

Qin Tian retreated again. Although his complexion had paled after the internal injury, he steadied his mind. As Chu Lingfeng executed the True Qi Six Explosions, Qin Tian simultaneously unleashed his own!

Then, everyone in the audience saw Qin Tian and Chu Lingfeng performing identical moves on stage, with the flow of True Qi and the whirlpools they condensed being exactly the same.

It looked harmonious, but everyone knew that with both performing the same True Qi Six Explosions, it was a deadly duel of two tigers — one must be injured. It was a matter of who had stronger suppressive power!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

With four consecutive explosions, the locations and impact of Qin Tian and Chu Lingfeng's True Qi blasts were roughly the same, and mostly canceled each other out.

Bang!

However, when the fifth explosion occurred, Chu Lingfeng frowned.

Qin Tian's explosion came earlier, and it surprised him as his True Qi was suppressed by Qin Tian!

Bang!

The sixth explosion occurred, with Qin Tian leading Chu Lingfeng by a full second!

With this gap of a second, by the time Chu Lingfeng's final explosion erupted, Qin Tian's True Qi impact had already pressed against his chest!

That sixth explosion detonated right before Chu Lingfeng's chest, forcing him to exhaust his energy in defense and retreat three steps to narrowly avoid it.

After the silence, everyone was dumbfounded.

Chu Lingfeng had been practicing the True Qi Six Explosions for years and was considered a benchmark in this martial art.

Yet, he gained no advantage against Qin Tian, and nearly got injured!

"Not bad!"

Despite being frustrated by the setback, Chu Lingfeng aggressively resumed a wave of continuous attacks, overwhelming Qin Tian!

Qin Tian defended and retreated, appearing somewhat at a disadvantage for the moment.

Both their foundational strengths had been fully displayed.

In fact, they each had a forty to sixty percent chance of winning, with Qin Tian having four and Chu Lingfeng six.

Chu Lingfeng had a cultivation level one grade higher than Qin Tian; otherwise, at the same level, Qin Tian believed he could defeat him.

But now, the level gap was undeniable and couldn't be erased.

"If I'm attacked step by step like this, I might be slowly worn down. My ultimate move hidden in reserve, if not used now, will be useless in a few seconds!"

The more indecisive one is, the more chaotic the situation becomes.

Qin Tian decided to make a desperate move, drawing out his Red Sword during retreat.

With the help of the Red Sword, he barely managed to fend off Chu Lingfeng's attack.

At this moment, Chu Lingfeng also ceased his assault.

"Oh, you're going to use swords now? Your final Spiritual Sword Three Forms, you can no longer hold back, right? Very well, you defeated Junior Yu Wen in swordsmanship, and I too want to learn from you!"

Chu Lingfeng furrowed his brow, pulling out a golden long sword — Heavenly Gang Sword!

The Heavenly Gang Sword, a Magic Artifact, was one of the top weapons of the Qilin Mountain Sect, incredibly sharp with inherent True Qi pressure!

This was a treasure Ning Qingyun struggled greatly to procure for Chu Lingfeng.

With the Heavenly Gang Sword, Chu Lingfeng's swordsmanship greatly improved, and none among the disciples of the Qilin Mountain Sect could match his sword skills.

Even the Elder who specialized in teaching swordsmanship couldn't claim more than fifty percent odds against Chu Lingfeng's Heavenly Gang Sword.

Over time, the Heavenly Gang Sword became an invisible deterrence among the disciples, signaling Chu Lingfeng's ultimate victory in any confrontation.

"Come, let's see your Gale Illusion," Chu Lingfeng smoothly stated, standing nonchalantly opposite Qin Tian.

Qin Tian stood his ground and didn't make a move.

It was clear that Chu Lingfeng seemed to have strategies prepared against his Gale Illusion.

Considering Qin Tian had already used the Gale Illusion against Yu Wenfeng in the last match, he believed the Main Line Sect Leader's elders had likely informed him of the countermeasures.

Qin Tian glanced towards the main platform, his gaze meeting Qiao Zheng's.

Qiao Zheng, focusing on Qin Tian, knit his eyebrows and shook his head, signaling him not to use the Gale Illusion.

Back then, Qiao Zheng became well-known in the Qilin Mountain Sect after mastering the first form of the Spiritual Sword Three Forms, Gale Illusion, advancing through the selection process to the finals.

In those finals, Qiao Zheng faced his current Main Line Sect Leader, Ning Qingyun.

It was in that final that Ning Qingyun was the first to break Qiao Zheng's Gale Illusion, securing his position as the top young disciple of the Qilin Mountain Sect.

The match on the arena now resembled a reenactment of those past events.

Qin Tian had learned the Gale Illusion, and Ning Qingyun had undoubtedly shared the secret to breaking it with Chu Lingfeng.

When Ning Qingyun broke Qiao Zheng's Gale Illusion back then, the move was ruthless, leaving Qiao Zheng devastated on stage.

Now, Qiao Zheng didn't want Qin Tian to follow in his old footsteps.

He shook his head, but had no advice for Qin Tian.

Qin Tian's mastery of the Gale Illusion was already remarkable, but it wasn't enough to defeat Chu Lingfeng; the gap in overall strength was evident.

So, in Qiao Zheng's view, Qin Tian had no chance of defeating Chu Lingfeng. He felt distressed and concerned.

"Gale Illusion!"

Just as Qiao Zheng wrestled with his thoughts, Qin Tian on the arena suddenly shouted out four words, and his Red Sword swiftly drew out arcs of red sword shadows towards Chu Lingfeng!

Chu Lingfeng appeared unfazed, confidently matching Qin Tian's swordplay with a familiar set of sword moves!

"This kid truly doesn't believe in evil... Chu Lingfeng's sword moves clearly restrain the Gale Illusion, using stillness to control movement, slowness to counter speed... You can't even perform your Gale Illusion…"

Seeing Qin Tian recklessly unleash the Gale Illusion, Qiao Zheng sighed and shook his head. He noticed the assured smile on Ning Qingyun's face beside him.

"Hmm?"

But suddenly, Qiao Zheng noticed Ning Qingyun's previously smiling face change unexpectedly! It turned to one of alarm!
