The Sect Leader, Tian Chu Zhenren, once again walked to the center of the venue, but this ti, he stood on the platform.
"The semi-final duel is about to begin; both contestants, please co forward!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan bowed to Tian Chu Zhenren.
"Master, I'm going now."
After speaking, Ye Tianfan summoned his Flying Sword and flew toward the arena's platform.
Upon reaching the platform, Ye Tianfan first saluted Tian Chu Zhenren, then looked at his opponent, seeing that Ma Feiyun had also arrived. He cupped his fists and said, "Disciple of Taihuo Peak, Ye Tianfan, greets Senior Brother Ma."
Ma Yafei, seeing Ye Tianfan initiate the greeting, also cupped his fists and said, "Disciple of Taichu Peak, Ma Yafei, greets Junior Brother Ye."
"Since both of you are here, let's start the match!" Tian Chu Zhenren said and flickered back to the Taichu Peak's viewing platform.
At the mont Tian Chu Zhenren disappeared, four Elders swiftly appeared at the four corners of the platform, ready to intervene in case of dangerous moves during the duel.
As Tian Chu Zhenren finished his announcent, Ye Tianfan imdiately summoned the Fire Lotus Sword, deciding not to summon the Xuanhuang Tower right away, as he sensed his cultivation might be slightly higher than Ma Feiyun's.
After summoning the Fire Lotus Sword, Ye Tianfan pointed forward with his hand, launching an attack on Ma Feiyun. In an instant, crimson light flashed like lightning, as the Fire Lotus Sword drew a red torrent towards Ma Yafei.
Ma Yafei, seeing this, thought to himself, "Alright, coming at strong straight away, just how I like it! Although I won the last match by luck, it was really frustrating, all those flashy moves."
Having trained at Taichu Peak, Ma Yafei followed the path of Five Elents Immortal Techniques, purely offensive, having learned nothing of alchemy, arrays, or artifact refining.
Seeing Ye Tianfan's attack, Ma Yafei's eyes flashed with excitent. "Fire attribute, huh? Let give you a cool, heart-refreshing move."
Ma Yafei summoned his Five Elents Immortal Sword. Though not among the top magical treasures, it was considered a rare magical treasure. Among supre, rare, top, and high-grade magical treasures, it was considered high-grade, much stronger than the diocre ones.
Moreover, the Five Elents Immortal Sword's interrelated elents enhance its Immortal Techniques' power by nearly doubling through mutual generation.
Being adept in Five Elents Immortal Techniques, for Ma Yafei, this sword was like adding wings to a tiger.
Ma Yafei ford a Sword Technique with his right hand, and the Five Elents Sword glead with dazzling blue light, coldness surged, and in no ti, erected an ice wall along the path of the Fire Lotus Sword.
With a "Bang!" the crimson torrent directly crashed into the ice wall, the Fire Lotus Sword halted after hitting the ice wall.
Seeing this, Ye Tianfan ford a technique with his hand, and the Fire Lotus Sword burst into dazzling light, plowing through the wall like a hot knife through butter. The ice shattered with a crack, the breakthrough was smooth as glass, and the crimson torrent didn't diminish at all, its montum grew even fiercer, rushing towards Ma Feiyun like a roaring dragon.
Ma Feiyun laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, unleash your most powerful move! Now this is the kind of battle that's exhilarating."
Ma Feiyun retreated several steps, ford another Sword Technique with his right hand, the Five Elents Sword emitted blinding blue light once more. In an instant, it conjured not one, but nine ice walls on the path of the Fire Lotus Sword.
This was his limit for conjuring ice walls in one go, and these nine walls didn't consu much Spiritual Qi. So if he wanted to conjure more, he only needed a short mont to calm his Spiritual Qi before continuing.
This ti, a series of "Bang, Bang" sounds erupted. Unlike before when the crimson torrent halted after hitting the walls, this ti it cut through seven ice walls like a hot knife through butter. Ice shards flew everywhere, yet the crimson torrent outside the Fire Lotus Sword was barely visible, leaving only two walls to be pierced by the Fire Lotus Sword itself.
Ye Tianfan shook his head slightly, thinking the amount of Spiritual Qi he infused earlier wasn't enough and the Fire Lotus Sword's might was lacking.
Still, if it wasn't enough earlier, let's infuse more now. Once more, Ye Tianfan ford a technique with his hand, and the torrent around the Fire Lotus Sword surged again, easily breaking through the two remaining ice walls.
Ma Feiyun saw the Fire Lotus Sword directly piercing through nine ice walls, already appearing before him, leaving no ti or space to conjure more ice walls. So he quickly changed hand techniques.
Guided by the technique, the Five Elents Sword emitted countless white rays, forming a thick Ice Shield in front of him.
"Boom," a loud crash sounded. The crimson torrent struck the thick Ice Shield, not piercing it, but embedding itself in it, the sword tip poking out the other side. Yet this slight protrusion instantly shattered the Ice Shield's defensive balance. Ma Feiyun's eyes widened, mustering every ounce of strength to sidestep, barely evading the Fire Lotus Sword that shattered the shield as it erged. Red shadows filled his vision and his ears buzzed.
Before he could compose himself, the crimson torrent, as swift as ever, curved and hurtled towards him again. Feeling the Fire Lotus Sword rush at him once more, Ma Feiyun hurriedly ford another technique. This ti, the Five Elents Sword didn't conjure anything, just glowed blue, charging toward the Fire Lotus Sword.
"Boom," a loud crash erupted. The blue radiance struck the crimson torrent. Neither got instantly shattered. Both forces clashed mid-air. The Fire Lotus Sword's crimson torrent gradually pushed back the blue radiance. At this point, Ma Feiyun's eyes lit up with excitent, mustered all his strength, and finally staved off the retreat of the Five Elents Sword, even gaining a slight advantage ripping forward.
Ye Tianfan watched as his Fire Lotus Sword was pushed back and smiled slightly. Forming a technique with his right hand, the crimson lotus surrounding the Fire Lotus Sword flared even more vigorously, overpowering the Five Elents Sword once more.
At the Taihuo Peak stand.
"Not bad, Junior Brother, just using the Fire Lotus Sword to suppress a semi-final opponent. It seems this round may be easy for him to win!"
"Of course, look at Junior Brother now, not even winded. Look at Ma Feiyun, he's already starting to pant, consuming too much Spiritual Qi."
"Right, you ntioning it made notice, Ma Feiyun has indeed started to pant."
