The eight cultivators on one side and the eight on the other moved swiftly.
Hong Qiu met Cai Guo, as this was the most logical pairing. No one wanted to see any casualties from their own side, and this was the only way to prevent any from these two behemoths.
As for the Gu family head, he was met by Liu Feng. Although it would make more sense for Feng Wang to fight this man in the Ninth layer of the Soul Evolution stage, Liu Feng wanted to fight the person who ordered his death.
With both Feng Wang and Liu Man freed up, they could wreck havoc among the remaining Soul Evolution Stage experts.
Until now, the Hong family had sheer numbers, but even then, Liu Feng's side had stronger people. The core of Liu Man, Liu Feng, Feng Wang and Cai Guo could easily overpower the Hong family's core.
Even Hong Qiu knew that. But until now, everyone was expecting the huge protecting barrier to play a part in this battle. And now, it wasn't.
Clang!
Liu Feng's white spear clashed with the Gu Family head's. He was using a saber, which was a special type of sword. Both heavy weapons clashed with each other, but the Gu Family head had the clear advantage.
While Liu Feng was on the defensive, his opponent was trying to break free of the hold that Liu Feng put him in.
"Haha! What are you thinking about? The fact that you can't even win against a person who is a tenth your age?" Liu Feng laughed.
The moment that he found out that this man, Gu Hai, was in the Ninth Layer of the Soul Evolution Stage, he knew that the goal was to stay defensive until he wasn't expecting it.
"You are still young, boy. Geniuses these days are so arrogant. Do you really think that you can fight with someone who is two minor realms above you in cultivation? I will show you what it means to be on top of the world." Gu Hai's eyes glinted as he dashed forward.
Unfortunately for Gu Hai though, Liu Feng was as fast, if not faster, than him. With his Kun Peng Transformations, he could easily evade the attacks that were coming toward him.
With almost a hundred exchanges between them in a minute, and not a single one hit the opponent.
On the other side, Cai Guo and Hong Qiu were facing each other, but none of them was moving. None of them wanted to make the first move. The moment that a fight of this scale started, the entire battle would be eclipsed, and the entire city would face the tremors.
And hence, this battle had not started yet.
Meanwhile, Liu Man and Feng Wang were wreaking havoc among the Hong family cultivators. Out of the three, Liu Man was battling one, Feng Wang was batting another, while a Cai family cultivator took the last one.
While the battle between the Cai family cultivator and the Hong family cultivator was relatively matched, the story of the other two was entirely different.
Liu Man was utterly thrashing his opponent. He had taken his true form: the white tiger. His opponent could only defend against the relentless attacks that were coming from Liu Man.
And as for Feng Wang, he also took up his true form. A large, green tiger towered over the Hong family cultivator, and even with such a huge body, he was terrifyingly swift.
Both these poor cultivators were slowly being pushed back, and they couldn't do much about it.
"Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fifth Form! Blue Dragon Breaks through Hell!"
A blue dragon swirled Liu Feng's spear as the spear soared through the skies and tried to pierce through Gu Hai.
But Gu Hai defended with his saber, while he was trying to move away from the attack.
"You are strong, boy. I will give you that. If it weren't for where your allegiances lay, I might have tried to recruit you. But it is a pity that you were destined to die, facing me." Gu Hai said as his own saber shone.
"Ten thousand shadows!"
Ten thousands different saber lights dashed toward Liu Feng. All of them seemed to have the power to tear him apart.
Liu Feng snapped his fingers, and immediately, a huge barrier made of ice formed in front of him. The moment the saber lights struck the ice, it started cracking, and after a few moments, it broke down completely, with a few dim lights surviving, and continuing toward Liu Feng.
But Liu Feng was no longer there!
He was gone!
Gu Hai looked around, gripping his saber, calm as he could be. This was the difference between everyone else that Liu Feng had fought till now and a seasoned veteran like Gu Hai. Gu Hai wasn't going to panic if his opponent suddenly vanished.
"Looks like I hit quite the rock this time. I guess I have to use the bigger attacks." Liu Feng realized as he looked at Gu Hai from afar.
"Flowing Cloud Spear! Seventh Form! Plum Blossoms show the way!"
Immediately, everything became tranquil. It was like there was no fight.
Gu Hai felt all the sound around him dim down, like the fight itself had died down and stopped. He felt like he was back in his house, calmly enjoying a cup of tea, looking at a few beautiful sceneries.
He was looking at beautiful cherry blossoms, the leaves fluttering in the sky.
The blossoms were flowing toward him, slowly, as if they wanted to embrace him.
Snort!
"You will never be able to trap me in an illusion boy!" Gu Hai roared as he twirled his saber, and he swung it a few times. The saber light tried to cut the petals that were flowing toward him, but they just separated, letting the lights pass the blossoms with ease.
The flowers continued forward and then, Gu Hai saw a glint among them all.
"A spear!" Gu Hai realized as he quickly tried to defend.
