After Sun Ce’s loud roar transford into a golden light, Ma Chao and Lifeisha also transford into radiant beings and pursued one another. While Lifeisha was renowned for its speed, Ma Chao’s burst of speed surprisingly exceeded Sun Ce’s.
As Ma Chao caught up with him, Sun Ce’s face showed a hint of delight. Only by dueling with such top-tier masters could he unleash the anger burning in his heart. The battle with Yu Ji brought him nothing, and he lost his most valiant general Zhou Tai. A calamity indeed!
"Here!" Sun Ce and Ma Chao raced across the Yangtze River’s surface, then Sun Ce pointed to the river’s center and descended directly, with Ma Chao swiftly following, and the featherless Lifeisha also plumted down.
"Before, you didn’t take advantage of my injury; this ti I won’t begrudge you your inferior steed. Let’s go all out in this battle!" Ma Chao pointed to the opposite bank of the Yangtze River, and Lifeisha shook its head and flew away.
"I’ve been itching for a fight!" Sun Ce furiously unleashed his Inner Qi, imdiately pushing it to the extre, transforming into a golden light and stabbing toward Ma Chao.
As Sun Ce struck, Ma Chao let out a low growl like a Wolf King hunting, turning into a glowing mass of golden mixed with blue-white hues, crashing into Sun Ce. In their first move, they unleashed all their might, these kings among peers didn’t hold back.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, their all-out attack splashed Qi power, pressing down the surrounding river by several ters.
"Ha!" Both of their long spears bent into arcs, but the next mont, Ma Chao’s muscles sprang with an imnse force, angrily tossing Sun Ce into the air.
Ma Chao’s sudden burst flung Sun Ce away, then Ma Chao stomped the air hard, tearing through the sonic barrier. His speed surged to its limit, catching up to the retreating Sun Ce, with a loud shout, he smashed down a kick.
"Boom!" At that instant, Ma Chao’s kick tore the air into a funnel, with Sun Ce at the center. As he lifted his leg, Ma Chao’s muscles bulged with ferocious montum, pounding down on Sun Ce.
"Rumble!" Under Ma Chao’s kick, Sun Ce couldn’t react at all and was slamd into the river, creating huge waves over a hundred ters high.
"Phew!" Ma Chao exhaled, his body returning to normal. By using lightning as a stimulus, he could temporarily unleash power beyond his limits, a result of his recent efforts. For masters in combat, every instant counts, such is Ma Chao.
"Bang!" A battered Sun Ce soared from the river, spitting blood before he could speak, yet his montum didn’t drop but increased.
"Can you still fight?" Ma Chao asked, staring at Sun Ce.
"Fight!" Sun Ce’s eyes flashed with dazzling golden light, and as he wielded his spear, Monarch Talent activated. This was the true Sun Ce, using the moves only possible at the Ultimate Inner Qi Manifestation stage, where extre Inner Qi and Monarch Talent unite. He’s not just a military general, previously he just didn’t want to take advantage of Ma Chao.
Ma Chao unabashedly unleashed all his power, charging at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce equally poured out all his strength against him.
They collided again, but unlike last ti where Sun Ce flew backward, this ti they were evenly matched. With Monarch Talent suppressing Ma Chao’s power, he could only exhibit strength comparable to Sun Ce.
They engaged in continuous clashes, exchanging dozens of moves in the skies, but without daring to release much Inner Qi, Ma Chao soon fell into disadvantage. With Sun Ce’s Monarch Talent suppressing him, Ma Chao soon struggled.
"Break!" Ma Chao suddenly erupted with another force within him, unexpectedly opening the situation and launching a fierce assault. He could no longer endure and burst with peak power, each move akin to what he felt from Lyu Bu.
Ma Chao’s style was inherently strong and fierce, and Sun Ce’s path was also that of domineering ferocity, leading their fight to be a clash of who had the stronger moves. Their combat was like two tigers slaughtering each other.
With Ma Chao’s counterattack, Sun Ce felt imnse pressure. The power of the blows not only increased significantly but also their speed. Moreover, streaks of lightning between moves slightly hindered Sun Ce’s reactions.
"Bring it on!" Sun Ce felt his body becoming sowhat numb. If this continued, defeat was certain.
"Ding!" A soft sound, Sun Ce seized the mont to withdraw a hundred ters, watching Ma Chao from afar. "Your moves are as fierce as the Marquis Wenn from my mories, but you haven’t reached that level. I don’t believe you can sustain it. One move to decide the victor!"
Ma Chao quietly watched Sun Ce. The lightning power within him was nearly depleted, though Inner Qi could convert to electric Inner Qi, this conversion consud too much Inner Qi. If the battle continued, he’d likely face the awkward situation of being without Inner Qi.
"Alright!" Ma Chao said sternly, infused all his Inner Qi into his long spear, myriad electric sparks wrapping around the weapon.
Sun Ce’s eyes solemnly fixed on the lightning enveloping Ma Chao’s spear, mobilizing all his Inner Qi to the point of forming swirling Qi waves around them, compressing the river into a massive depression.
Their powerful aura clashed incessantly, making the river reverse its flow. Then they mirrored each other’s actions, performing the sa move, the most basic Spear Technique, both simple thrusts but swift as lightning!
This ti neither made a sound, yet the world seed to echo with endless battle sounds, until the two spears collided.
At that mont, the light and heat from both bursts twisted the surrounding environnt, their rampant Inner Qi compressed the nearby air entirely, twisting everything silently.
"Bang." When the two beams nearly fully rged, a slight sound resonated in Ma Chao and Sun Ce’s hearts. The next mont, they felt a lightness in their hands and instinctively swung fists at each other.
"Boom!" Sun Ce punched Ma Chao’s face, Ma Chao did the sa to Sun Ce’s handso face, and both their faces suddenly swelled like dough, turning their heads aside as both spat out a tooth!
"You dare punch my face!" Sun Ce and Ma Chao roared simultaneously, each reflexively swung their other hand at the other’s eyes with a cry of pain ensuing. (To be continued.
