Chapter 214 The Fight of the Former Fiancées
The moment the referee's voice faded, a powerful surge of energy erupted from Feng Yun's body.
It was undeniable.
Peak Grand Qi Condensation Realm!
Gasps echoed throughout the arena.
"Peak Grand Qi Condensation Realm! Feng Yun was hiding his true cultivation all along!"
"I knew it! There was no way he could defeat Gao Mingrui so easily otherwise!"
"Then that means… he wasn't even serious before? Did he toy with Gao Mingrui the entire time?"
Gao Mingrui, who had just been taken to the medical area, heard the commotion. His already pale face turned even paler.
"…He wasn't even using his real cultivation?"
He murmured, feeling a fresh wave of humiliation crash over him.
His fists clenched, but he said nothing.
The defeat had already shaken him to his core, but knowing that Feng Yun had held back made it even worse.
However, one could also say that Gao Mingrui had been spared from being defeated in a single move—something that might have been possible if Feng Yun had gone all out from the start.
On the battlefield, the air had grown heavy.
The oppressive might of Feng Yun's aura clashed with Ling Meiyu's own powerful presence.
Ling Meiyu's sword trembled slightly in her grip as a raging fiery glow burst from her body.
She still kept her cultivation at the Peak Grand Qi Condensation Realm to match Feng Yun.
She felt that unless Feng Yun had the same strange recovery ability as Feng Mei, he couldn't win against her even with the same cultivation.
And it was somewhat true because Feng Mei, without her recovery ability, was a tad bit weaker than Ling Meiyu.
Feng Yun merely smirked at that.
It didn't matter whether Ling Meiyu decided to go all out from the start or take her time—he was still going to defeat her.
Without hesitation, he took his first step forward.
BOOM!
The ground beneath him cracked as his movement sent a powerful force rippling through the air.
The moment he moved, Ling Meiyu reacted.
She raised her sword, and a fierce storm of fire erupted from its blade.
["Nine Heavens Severing Slash!"]
But Feng Yun didn't stop.
He raised his own sword in response—his movement fluid, effortless.
["Heavenly Emperor's Sword!"]
With a single stroke, a deep blue arc of sword Qi swept outward.
The moment the two attacks met—
BOOM!
The entire arena trembled under the sheer force of the collision.
The audience was on the edge of their seats.
Within the storm of dust and fire, two figures stood firm.
Feng Yun's expression remained indifferent, and his sword was raised in a casual stance.
Ling Meiyu, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes.
( He's still unfazed! )
She flicked her wrist, and the flames around her condensed into a sharp vortex of fire.
WHOOSH!
A moment later, she shot forward.
Her speed was incredible—like a streaking comet rushing toward her prey.
But Feng Yun had already seen through her movements.
With a swift step, he twisted his body and swung his blade.
A sharp ringing sound filled the air as their swords clashed.
CLANG!
The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the battlefield.
Ling Meiyu gritted her teeth as she felt the terrifying force behind Feng Yun's strike.
( So heavy! )
Feng Yun's sword was heavier, and stronger, and carried an unnatural momentum that made it hard to deflect.
But she wasn't going to lose so easily.
Despite using Peak Grand Qi Condensation Realm cultivation, Ling Meiyu was confident that she was superior to Feng Yun.
Stepping back, she flicked her fingers, and several fiery arcs shot out from her sword.
["Nine Heavens Severing Slash!"]
Feng Yun's eyes flickered.
Instead of dodging, he stepped forward.
His sword flashed in a silver-blue arc.
CLANK! CLANK!
With absolute precision, he struck down every single attack, his movements crisp and decisive.
Then, before Ling Meiyu could react, he counterattacked.
Feng Yun's sword roared through the air, heading straight for her shoulder.
Ling Meiyu's pupils shrank!
In a split second, she twisted her body midair, narrowly avoiding the attack.
But even as she dodged, a cold voice reached her ears.
"You're not fast enough!"
Before she could fully regain her footing, Feng Yun's palm shot forward.
["Earth Shattering Palm!"]
BOOM!
A powerful force struck her abdomen, sending her flying backward.
She crashed into the ground, sliding several meters before coming to a stop.
A hush fell over the crowd.
Ling Meiyu slowly pushed herself up, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips.
She looked up at Feng Yun.
The boy she once looked down upon had changed completely. Now, he stood strong before her—strong enough to injure her.
She never would have thought that Feng Yun would grow this powerful.
However, the attack hadn't done much—the injury was superficial at most.
Feng Yun, standing tall, twirled his sword lazily in his hand.
BOOM!
A powerful shockwave burst from the center of the arena as Feng Yun's sword clashed against Ling Meiyu's in an explosion of qi.
The force sent cracks through the stage, dust, and debris scattering into the air.
Ling Meiyu's pupils shrank as she felt the sheer strength behind Feng Yun's strike.
( He's even stronger than I expected! )
She had faced countless opponents, but Feng Yun's swordplay carried a distinct sharpness—one that reminded her of seasoned warriors rather than a young genius.
She felt the same pressure she had when facing her elders when she was young—like how they could always anticipate her moves, counter attacking with ease, showcasing the gap in experience.
Though she had long surpassed those elders and had even defeated those Three Elements Divine Realm elders, she was feeling that same sense of suppression now.
And it was coming from Feng Yun!
She barely had time to react before Feng Yun pressed forward again, his attacks swift and relentless.
Every swing of his sword carried an overwhelming force, his movements precise and calculated.
The crowd watched in stunned silence as the battle intensified.
Amidst the storm of battle, Ling Meiyu's mind raced.
( I have to change my approach. A direct clash will only put me at a disadvantage! )
She shifted her stance, taking a deep breath before slashing forward with her Blazing Star Sword.
A wave of golden fire erupted from the blade, surging toward Feng Yun like a celestial inferno.
Feng Yun's eyes flickered with excitement.
"Good!"
He exclaimed before twisting his sword in a seamless motion.
A dazzling arc of sword energy burst forth, slicing through the golden flames and parting them like water.
BOOM!
The collision sent shockwaves across the stage, forcing both fighters to retreat a few steps.
The audience held their breath.
It was clear now—this battle would not be decided easily!
Feng Yun's lips curled into a confident grin.
"Not bad. But if that's all, you won't be able to defeat me."
Ling Meiyu's eyes burned with determination.
"I should be the one saying that."
The battle was only beginning!
