Chapter 2068: Chapter 2023: Ao Min Defeated
"If you have other skills, just use them. I want to see how powerful you are." Ao Min laughed heartily.
"Alright! You said it. If something happens, don’t blame me, Ao Family of the South Sea!" the old mountain ghost growled, and his figure disappeared once again.
However, this time, his speed was far from being as fast as when he used the Ghost Shadow Technique before.
But the cane in his hand began to swing swiftly.
Stick technique!
"Hahaha, old man, you’ve finally stopped playing with gods and ghosts. This king will fight you head-on." Ao Min laughed again, enveloped himself with spiritual power, and charged forward.
The two clashed quickly, with intense exchanges.
Without using his movement technique, the old mountain ghost’s combat power indeed declined significantly.
But after all, he was a mid-stage Gathering Spirit cultivator.
His inherent strength was substantial, so when he fought Ao Min, not only did he not fall behind, but he even seemed to gain an advantage.
The two traded blows for hundreds of rounds.
In the end, Ao Min could not match the old mountain ghost and was defeated.
The old mountain ghost not only excelled in movement techniques but also mastered a highly intricate stick technique with astonishing combat power.
Even though his cultivation was only mid-stage Gathering Spirit,
his combat power was definitely capable of competing with late-stage experts.
Ao Min’s defeat at his hands was no disgrace.
Ao Min was knocked down by a palm strike, with injuries to his internal organs, unable to stand.
Seeing this from above, Mo Jun announced Ao Min’s defeat and the old mountain ghost’s victory!
"Haha, young man, a bit of pride is fine, but too much will only bring suffering." The old mountain ghost was extremely pleased with his victory.
Before leaving the stage, he didn’t forget to mock Ao Min.
Then he laughed heartily and turned to leave the arena.
Chen Yang frowned.
The old mountain ghost won, which was fine.
But saying such things after winning was somewhat excessive.
It made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, this was the arena, so he couldn’t say much. With a swift step, he stepped onto the arena and took down the injured Ao Min.
At the same time, he quietly performed healing techniques to stabilize Ao Min’s disrupted internal organs.
"That old guy really is powerful. I wasn’t his match." Ao Min looked uncomfortable but refused to concede verbally.
"It’s normal; that old guy has trained for many years, and his combat ability is much stronger than yours. The fact you held on this long is already impressive." Chen Yang gave him an elixir to take.
After hearing Chen Yang’s words, Ao Min felt somewhat better.
"It’s just a pity; I was so close to winning and going to the Divine Dragon Pool." Ao Min took the elixir, looking regretful.
"It’s alright, I’ll go for you just the same. You should go to the spectator stands to rest first."
Having been defeated, Ao Min naturally lost his qualification and could only return to the viewing stand.
"Alright, you be careful and don’t let us down." Ao Min nodded and then turned to leave the arena, heading to the viewing stands.
On the viewing stands, He Xiran and Jiao Long have seats with Chen Hao. After stepping down, Ao Min went to find them.
The first match concluded, and the second started shortly thereafter.
Chen Yang looked over as Mo Jun announced.
"In the second match, Feng Nihuang versus Huang Hao!"
Mo Jun announced.
The scene exploded with commotion, discussions ensued!
"Feng Nihuang? The millennium’s first of the Phoenix Clan?"
"Oh my gosh, I didn’t expect her to participate in the Divine Dragon Assembly as well."
"I heard Feng Nihuang’s talent isn’t even her greatest strength."
"Then what is?"
"Of course, it’s her appearance. I’ve heard she’s of unparalleled beauty, with a graceful figure!"
The stage was abuzz with discussion.
Most of the talk praised Feng Nihuang.
As for her opponent Huang Hao, he wasn’t even mentioned.
If he was, it was only as a backdrop to Feng Nihuang, with no further positive remarks.
Phoenix Bird Clan’s millennium’s first?
Feng Nihuang?
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Chen Yang couldn’t help but look at the woman he had noticed before.
That was Feng Nihuang!
Her face was partially veiled, and her figure could only be described as perfect.
The luxurious ancient attire she wore highlighted her exceptional grace and grandeur.
"The two of you, please enter the stage!"
Mo Jun spoke again.
Then a young man in combat attire walked onto the arena.
However, the man’s face was filled with panic, and his body trembled slightly.
Clearly, he was terrified.
Feng Nihuang was known as the Phoenix Bird Clan’s millennium’s first prodigy.
The Phoenix Bird Clan was already strong, let alone the millennium’s first. Naturally, such hype would intimidate anyone.
Especially when in the arena.
A fight meant life or death...
After Huang Hao took the stage, Feng Nihuang lightly touched the ground with her feet, rising gently and landing on the stage.
Her movements were gentle, her demeanor elegant.
This action caused a stir among the spectators.
Despite all being cultivators, they were still ordinary people.
Faced with Feng Nihuang’s incredible beauty and extraordinary talent and cultivation, who wouldn’t be captivated? Who wouldn’t fantasize?
From an ordinary person’s perspective,
Feng Nihuang was the perfect goddess for any average man, without a single flaw.
"Both contestants on stage, begin the match!"
With both contestants ready on stage, Mo Jun immediately announced the start of the match.
The exceptional genius of the Phoenix Clan taking the stage attracted not only ordinary spectators but also caught the attention of the high-ranking individuals above.
The conversations among them ceased, their eyes focused on the arena.
"Phoenix Clan Leader, your clan’s fortune is astonishing, producing such a prodigy. Congratulations indeed." A Taoist sect leader-like elder praised, stroking his beard by the side of the Phoenix Bird Clan Leader on the high platform.
A noblewoman, whom Chen Yang had previously met briefly, smiled, appearing enchanting upon hearing the words.
"Taixu Sect Leader, isn’t your sect’s disciple Zhao Tiangang’s talent impressive as well? I’ve heard he possesses a once-in-a-millennium sword physique! His future is boundless," the Phoenix Bird Clan Leader also replied without backing down.
The Taixu Sword Sect Leader burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Tiangang’s talent is indeed formidable, born to seize great opportunities! Now as the world’s restraints loosen, the future won’t belong to us old ones anymore," said the Taixu Sect Leader.
"With great opportunity coming, these young ones truly are born in the right era." The Phoenix Bird Clan Leader nodded and then fell silent.
A keen observer would notice a slight hint of worry between the brows of the Phoenix Bird Clan Leader...
Turning back to the arena.
After Mo Jun announced the start of the battle, both sides remained motionless.
Feng Nihuang stood in place, doing nothing yet exuding a powerful aura.
While Huang Hao, standing opposite, trembled uncontrollably...
Clearly, he was terrified.
"Oh come on, is this guy just going to keep shaking? If you’re going to fight, then fight, otherwise just concede. What’s all this trembling?" A dissatisfied voice from the spectators reached the stage.
"Exactly, isn’t this just wasting time?"
"I know this Huang Hao; he’s just a late-stage Gathering Spirit with decent combat power, but against Nihuang, he stands no chance."
"Just concede, stop fighting."
