"Ten moves!"

Once Luo Feng spoke, everyone was shocked. Sounds of surprise and confusion resonated through the crowd.

"He dares to say he'll defeat Ye Tang in just ten moves. Luo Feng is truly bold."

"Indeed. Ye Tang is, after all, a late-stage Martial Artist at the Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm and a young master of the Ye family. The Martial Arts he cultivates must be extraordinary. It's highly unlikely Luo Feng can defeat Ye Tang, yet he audaciously claims victory within ten moves. Is he overestimating his own abilities?"

"Winning a few rounds must have gone to his head."

Upon hearing Luo Feng's words, the young geniuses present considered Luo Feng extremely arrogant. Even the leaders of the major powers shook their heads disapprovingly.

Yang Wanyi bit her red lip, her gaze filled with annoyance. "He knows full well that Ye Tang is a late-stage expert of the Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm, yet he still acts so recklessly!"

It didn't occur to Yang Wanyi that she had, unconsciously, started to worry for Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng couldn't defeat Ye Tang within ten moves after making such a statement, he would surely be looked down upon by everyone. People would deem him arrogant and conceited over a few minor achievements.

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter boomed across the square. Ye Tang looked at Luo Feng as if he had heard something hilarious, roaring with laughter. His laughter was filled with unrestrained killing intent; he was clearly genuinely enraged.

"Defeat me within ten moves!? Luo Feng, I originally thought you were just a bit arrogant, but I didn't realize you're not only arrogant but also foolish! You are utterly unworthy of Yang Wanyi!"

As the arrogant laughter continued to echo, Ye Tang couldn't hold back and launched his attack.

CLANG!

En route, Ye Tang drew his sword.

The sword was one foot seven inches long and two fingers wide, with flames flickering on its surface. As the sword left its sheath, the entire platform was filled with its sharp aura and a radiant flame that was unbearable to look at directly.

The crowd in the square felt waves of heat wash over them, as if an additional sun had appeared in the sky.

"That's Ye Tang's Red Chain Sword! It's a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon!"

Seeing the crimson sword in Ye Tang's hand, many young talents revealed envious expressions.

A Second-Rank Spirit Weapon was a treasure every Martial Artist coveted, as it could allow them to unleash even greater strength.

At the same time, the crowd became even more certain that Luo Feng was no match for Ye Tang.

"Luo Feng, this is my Red Chain Sword, a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon, capable of slicing through iron like mud. You've never seen a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon before, have you?"

Ye Tang laughed heartily, his gaze fixed mockingly on Luo Feng.

He said this deliberately to put pressure on Luo Feng.

"Unfortunately for you, my saber is also a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon."

HISS!

Luo Feng appeared indifferent. With a casual wave of his hand, the Fury Flame Knife released a fiery Saber Qi, leaving a terrifying gash on the platform.

"Luo Feng's saber can autonomously release Saber Qi; it's also a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon!"

Cries of surprise rose from the crowd below the platform.

"He actually has a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon too!"

Countless eyes stared fixedly at the Fury Flame Knife in Luo Feng's hand, filled with envy and a degree of disbelief.

Second-Rank Spirit Weapons were incredibly valuable and difficult to obtain. It wasn't surprising for Ye Tang, as a young master of the Ye family, to possess one. However, seeing that Luo Feng also had a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon caught many people by surprise.

Ye Tang's face darkened. He had intentionally revealed his possession of a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon to intimidate Luo Feng, but he hadn't expected his opponent to have one as well.

And, judging by the power of the Saber Qi just now, the quality of his Spirit Weapon is even higher than my Red Chain Sword!

Looking at the Fury Flame Knife in Luo Feng's hand, a strong surge of anger, jealousy, and indignation swelled within Ye Tang.

"Luo Feng, so what if you have a Second-Rank Spirit Weapon? A Spirit Weapon is ultimately an external object. You will never be my match! Be defeated!"

As he spoke, Ye Tang's clothes began to flutter though there was no wind. Streaks of crimson light, like meteors of heavenly fire, blazed on the Red Chain Sword. The surrounding air sizzled, seeming as if it might ignite at any moment.

SWISH!

Ye Tang thrust his sword through the air. The sword tip boiled the atmosphere, forming a massive fiery Sword Qi that enveloped Luo Feng.

Yang Wanyi frowned slightly. Even from such a distance, she could feel the sharpness of the strike. There was more to Ye Tang than just his high Cultivation.

Facing the enveloping fiery Sword Qi, Luo Feng neither dodged nor retreated, a smirk of ridicule appearing on his face.

Just moments ago, Ye Tang was showing off his precious sword, and now he claims Spirit Weapons are mere external objects. His shamelessness knows no bounds.

The smile vanished from his face. Luo Feng's gaze locked onto Ye Tang. His previously calm demeanor abruptly turned sharp, like a towering, perilous peak rising from the earth. The Fury Flame Knife in his hand emitted a hum, like the roar of a dragon and the growl of a tiger.

"First move!"

With a cold shout, Luo Feng stepped forward. The astonishing, mountain-like aura contracted into his body, and he slashed out with his saber.

BOOM!

A massive Saber Qi howled forth, like a thunderbolt streaking through the night sky.

The thunderous Saber Qi twisted continuously, its speed unimaginably fast. It dodged the fiery Sword Qi and, despite being launched later, arrived first, reaching Ye Tang in an instant.

"What kind of Saber Technique is this!"

Ye Tang paled in shock. He hadn't expected Luo Feng's Saber Technique to be so bizarre that it could avoid his Sword Qi by a hair's breadth and, though attacking after him, strike him first.

"Flame Crystal Sword Qi!"

Annoyance flashed across Ye Tang's face. He stomped heavily on the ground, and a red glow burst from his body, soaring skyward and forming a crimson Sword Gang!

The crimson Sword Gang was nearly four zhang high, crystalline as jade, and soared towards the clouds, protecting Ye Tang's entire body. Flames danced on its surface.

BOOM!

The saber's radiance ruthlessly slashed onto the crimson Sword Gang. Amidst a thunderous roar, a large crack appeared on the Sword Gang, and the massive force sent Ye Tang staggering backward.

"Hmm? The Flame Crystal Sword Qi couldn't block him?"

Tang Qi's gaze was sharp as he looked at the somewhat disheveled Ye Tang, his expression quite surprised.

Flame Crystal Sword Qi is a Profound Level, Low-Grade Martial Art from the Sky Sword Pavilion. It's a fundamental Martial Art that all Sky Sword Pavilion disciples must cultivate. When cultivating it, one's body is wielded like a sword; it can be used for both offense and defense and possesses considerable power.

Ye Tang is at the late-stage Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm. Logically, when he used Flame Crystal Sword Qi, Martial Artists of the same level should find it difficult to break. For Luo Feng to nearly shatter the Sword Gang with a single slash was truly baffling.

CRACK!

The moment the saber's radiance struck Ye Tang, Ye Tang's Sword Qi had also reached Luo Feng, only to be shattered by Luo Feng's punch.

"Swift!"

Having failed to injure Luo Feng with his sword and even being forced into a disheveled retreat, Ye Tang was overcome with shame and anger, letting out a loud shout.

The aura of the Flame Crystal Sword Qi enveloping Ye Tang's body surged continuously, its piercing energy overflowing and pouring into the Red Chain Sword.

HUM!

The Red Chain Sword blazed with intense flames, as if fiercely burning. The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air as he slashed at Luo Feng from mid-air.

RUMBLE!

A thunderous sound echoed across the entire square. Heatwaves rolled out, and the water surrounding the martial platform churned violently, steam rising as it neared boiling point.

"What astounding Sword Qi!"

The crowd was astonished by the power of Ye Tang's sword strike.

The leaders of the factions near the water quickly intervened, creating walls of Gang Qi to block the heatwaves.

Luo Feng's eyes glinted sharply, as if wind and thunder flickered within them. Layers of electric sparks crackled and danced on the Fury Flame Knife.

"Mad Thunder Overturning Sky!"

With his Yuan Qi circulating to its peak, Luo Feng gripped his saber with both hands and slashed out directly.

CRACKLE!

Illusory arcs of lightning flew out with the Fury Flame Knife's slash, forming a net of thunderous Saber Qi that enveloped the entire platform. The aftershocks cut countless fissures into the platform's surface.

"Gang Qi generating lightning! This is the Puppet Sect's Shocking Thunder Saber Technique! How does Luo Feng know this Saber Technique?" Yang Dingtian exclaimed, quite shocked as he observed the surging lightning on the martial platform.

He had once read some information about the Puppet Sect in ancient records and recognized the technique Luo Feng was currently displaying as the Puppet Sect's Shocking Thunder Saber Technique.

It was just that this Shocking Thunder Saber Technique had been lost for a thousand years, following the mysterious disappearance of the Puppet Sect a millennium ago. To see it suddenly appear now was truly shocking.

Yang Wanyi didn't hear Yang Dingtian's words. She watched the martial platform, a faint look of surprise appearing on her beautiful face.

She had initially believed that Luo Feng couldn't possibly be Ye Tang's opponent. After all, Ye Tang's Cultivation was much higher, and as a disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion, the Martial Arts he practiced were all extraordinary.

However, the scene unfolding before her completely overturned her speculation.

Luo Feng's Saber Technique was too incredible, far exceeding her expectations.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the net of thunderous Saber Qi violently collided with Ye Tang's Flame Crystal Sword Qi.

BOOM!

A startling, thunderous roar suddenly erupted. On the martial platform, lightning crisscrossed and flames raged; the entire world seemed to be filled with only white and red. The powerful impact created giant waves several zhang high in the water.

CRACK!

In a corner of the square, a wall couldn't withstand the intense Yuan Qi shockwave and collapsed with a RUMBLE. Nearby Martial Artists scrambled to escape, fearing they would be caught in the aftermath.

HUM!

The two vastly different forces remained deadlocked in mid-air for a moment before Ye Tang's Flame Crystal Sword Qi suddenly disintegrated. The remaining thunderous Saber Qi shot towards Ye Tang.

Witnessing this, the expressions of everyone present flickered with shock again and again. In a direct confrontation, Ye Tang, despite his higher Cultivation, had actually fallen into a disadvantage!

"Damn it!"

Filled with a mix of shame and anger, Ye Tang circulated all his Yuan Qi, venting his frustration as he slashed at the remaining Saber Qi.

SWISH!

Less than twenty percent of the Saber Qi remained, and it was easily torn apart by the Red Chain Sword. Just as Ye Tang breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard the sound of something cutting through the air. He looked up, and a cold light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

It was the glow of a saber! A saber glow as swift as lightning!

The saber's glow was incredibly fast. A sense of alarm had just risen in Ye Tang's heart when it was already before his eyes.

SWISH!

A flash of the saber, a spurt of blood. Ye Tang retreated several steps, a bloody gash appearing on his left shoulder. Luo Feng stood ten meters away, blood dripping from his Fury Flame Knife.

"Ye Tang is injured!"

"Incredible! Ye Tang is a late-stage Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm expert, yet when they fought, Luo Feng actually gained the upper hand! What are his limits?"

"They've only exchanged four moves, and Ye Tang is already injured. Could Ye Tang really be defeated by Luo Feng within ten moves?"

"That seems unlikely, right? After all, Ye Tang is at the late-stage Ninth Level Heavenly Court Realm. He probably hasn't used his full strength yet."

"Regardless of whether it's possible or not, Ye Tang just humiliated Luo Feng using his status as a Sky Sword Pavilion disciple, and his Cultivation is higher than Luo Feng's. If he is truly defeated within ten moves, he will be utterly disgraced."

Seeing Ye Tang injured, everyone was stunned.

"Luo Feng, you're dead!"

Ye Tang glanced at the wound on his arm, his eyes turning red as if blood were about to drip from them.
