Winter.
Night,
arrived earlier and faster than usual.
As nightfall approached, the atmosphere was already dim, and the streets were long deserted.
Only a sense of foreboding filled the air.
The long spear in the person's hand, though not a three or four-ter-long pole-arm, was still eight feet long, and the black shaft was barely visible in the night.
"Swish!"
The spear tip thrust forward with incredible speed.
Fang Zheng's eyes narrowed, the spearhead reflected in his pupils.
Unlike ordinary spears with a wooden shaft connecting the spearhead,
this was an entirely steel spear, heavy, with a sharp needle-like tip, and both edges were sharpened.
The whole spear exuded a sense of weight and oppression.
Though there was only one person, Fang Zheng felt as though he was on a battlefield, facing a massive army, a thick killing intent piercing towards him.
"Good!"
He muttered under his breath. Without ti to think, the five viscera within him writhed, Bone Force erupted, and a flash of cold light burst from his hand.
"Clang..."
The blade of the spear collided with a saber, sparks flying and illuminating the surroundings.
Fiery red eyebrows ca into view.
"It's you?"
Fang Zheng retreated swiftly, his voice heavy:
"Cai Jiuyuan!"
The person's eyebrows were too distinctive to be mistaken, clearly the sa Three Blood who went to challenge the Divine Spear Hall two days ago.
Tomorrow should be the day he duels with Xu Seng, the master of Divine Spear Hall.
Why is he here to commit robbery?
"That's right."
Cai Jiuyuan stood firm with his spear, a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Fang Zheng:
"I didn't expect you to be a Three Blood as well."
"Shopkeeper Ba is not trustworthy." Fang Zheng shook his head, instantly understanding what had happened, and with a sowhat speechless expression, he said:
"I just made a deal, and now I've been sold out."
"Hmph!"
Cai Jiuyuan snorted coldly:
"Enough nonsense, hand over the Elental Thunder Skill."
"Is it necessary..." Fang Zheng's eyes shifted, saying:
"Brother Cai, you must be the one who ordered the Elental Thunder Skill, right? Do you perhaps have a Dharma Gate to complete this skill?"
"If so, we can exchange."
"Soone once said, knowledge is best shared. You and I each have a piece of knowledge, after sharing, we each have two, beneficial and cost-free."
"Well said." Cai Jiuyuan laughed heartily:
"In that case, why not show the Elental Thunder Skill first?"
"..." Fang Zheng pursed his lips, then laughed:
"I was joking."
Even without his willingness, Cai Jiuyuan had already initiated a deadly move with his spear, indicating the matter would be settled with no room for retreat.
Just as well,
it's a chance to witness the power of a veteran Three Blood, to see how much of a gap there is.
"Heralala..."
Cai Jiuyuan let out a soft sniff, dragging the spear along, the sound of the spear blade scraping the ground sharp and piercing, yet reminiscent of rolling thunder.
As the distance closed, the thunder roared.
"Woo!"
A flick of the wrist, the spear lunged fiercely.
This entirely steel-forged spear weighed over a hundred pounds, even a casual stab could penetrate with a bloody hole.
Under the Giant Power of a Three Blood Martial Artist, it carried an imnse force.
In terms of pure strength.
Even with a solid foundation, Fang Zheng, being newly Three Blood, was by far inferior to his opponent.
"Swish!"
Avoiding direct confrontation, Fang Zheng stepped with the Righteous Step, shifting positions within three feet, his long saber spinning around him, slashing swiftly like the wind towards the spear shaft.
"Clink clank..."
The sounds of collision echoed, sparks flying.
Cai Jiuyuan's expression remained unchanged, his five viscera writhing, the spear trembling, as if heralding thunder rolling before it strikes, the sound emanating from the spear tip.
Despite wielding a heavy steel spear, his speed remained astonishingly fast.
The spear stirred up a storm, enveloping Fang Zheng, the shadows of the spear howling like crashing waves.
Power into the Marrow!
He, too, had stepped into the second realm of the Martial Dao, each movent imbued with fierce Bone Force.
"Zheng..."
A lodious saber sound erged from the field.
Fang Zheng wore a serious expression, his long saber in hand leaving only afterimages, countless Dharma Gates flashing through his mind, all gradually fading away.
Only instinct remained.
Having mastered Martial Arts to this extent, it was ingrained in his very bones!
Guo Ziran once called Fang Zheng a martial arts prodigy, but he himself didn't think much of it, attributing his success to resources from two worlds.
Unbeknownst,
while practicing, his mind was pure, without a trace of distraction, a trait exceeding countless others by itself.
Under the opponent's pressure, all he had learned was unleashed without reservation, even showing signs of seamless integration.
"Good!"
Unable to penetrate for long, Cai Jiuyuan let out a sudden shout, stepping forward with spear in hand, thrusting forth, the cold light flashing, ghosts wailing and gods howling.
The thunder,
grew ever more violent.
As if to tear apart everything before him.
Thunderbolt Spear!
"Peng!"
Fang Zheng's wrist trembled, the saber montum instantly appeared unstable, and just as his figure was about to be shredded by the spear, a sharp blade light flashed.
One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash!
In an instant, the sharp blade light seed to co alive, effortlessly tearing through the spear shadows, turning with grace, slashing straight at Cai Jiuyuan.
"Ah!"
With a tiger's roar, Cai Jiuyuan's eyes widened, his pupils seeming to dance with lightning, his speed suddenly increasing slightly.
His body brushed past the blade light, frantically blocking with the spear.
"Ding..."
"Clang!"
"Puff..."
Within a few short breaths, the two figures brushed past each other, their movents montarily halting.
Fang Zheng stood in the field with a long saber in hand, his wrist trembling slightly, sweat covering his forehead, fatigue emanating from his eyes.
Though the One-Character Heart-Clearing Slash was formidable, it drained too much energy.
Even for him, at full exertion, he could sustain it only for a few breaths.
On the opposite side.
Cai Jiuyuan looked at his own chest in astonishnt, where his clothes were torn, blood flowing freely, and the intense pain made his body shake.
