Liu Feng knew the moment he laid his eyes on the slash that was slowly inching closer, that he couldn’t dodge.

This sudden power stopped him from moving his legs. But he could raise his spear and battle though. And that he did.

“Flowing Cloud Spear Art! Sixth Form!”

The smell of blossoms filled the sky, and the sight of cherry blossoms covered Shen Qiang’s sight. But still, the manifestation of the general above was not fazed.

Liu Feng could see through the blossoms, and the general’s eyes unblinking, locked onto him. But the sword that was coming down, trying to cut him, met resistance.

Lu Feng’s spear became flexible, bending around the sword, trying to neutralize it. Around him, all these blossoms tried to stop the sword from advancing any further.

And Liu Feng wasn’t at a total disadvantage. He was in the seventh layer of the Soul Evolution Stage while Shen Qiang was in the eighth.

Sure, Liu Feng even defeated someone who was in the ninth layer, but everyone knew that it just wasn’t the same. Gu Hai was someone who came from the Gu family, an alchemy family.

His cultivation was forced and even though he had a ton of Qi and reserves that was far vaster than Liu Feng’s and Shen Qiang’s, his purity of the Qi was absolutely terrible, and filled with impurities from the pills he consumed and his terrible cultivation technique compared to the ones used by battle sects and Liu Feng.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang here was not the same. Not even by a long shot. He spent his whole life fighting, and even if he didn’t have a cultivation technique at the same tier as Liu Feng, he was strong, and that was indisputable.

There was a reason that the True Martial sect was ranked fourth in the sects even though they had only two Soul Evolution Stage experts, both of them with the same cultivation.

The sword that came toward Liu Feng slowly changed direction. If it was any other sword, it would have moved with the first will of the spear, but this sword was just humongous. Liu Feng still felt it not safe.

The moment that the slash was deflected and just hit thin air, Liu Feng felt his restriction lifting, and he quickly moved back, creating some distance between him and Shen Qiang.

“You actually defended that! And quite well, I might add. You are much stronger than I expected. When I was going up against someone who had a lower cultivation than I did, I thought that it would just give me a little fun. But this is going much better than I thought.” Shen Qiang grinned.

“For this mad man, the only thing that I can do to remotely stop him from asking me to battle him again and again is win convincingly.” Liu Feng decided.

But not for a single moment did he even consider the chance of throwing the battle away. In all of the time that he had been battling, he had not lost a battle in the last two years. And his undefeatable Dao was simply unmatched.

The buff that it gave him was much, much stronger than the buff that a simple ‘cultivator’ title would give from the system.

He vanished, appearing above Shen Qiang this time.

The General behind Shen Qiang looked up, his eyes locking with Liu Feng’s.

“This is supposed to be a goddamn manifestation. Why does it feel so real, like this is an actual general who came from the battlefield?” Liu Feng wondered. But he didn’t stop.

His sword was flashing blue.

“Blue Dragon Spear Art! Fourth Form! Blue Dragon Soars through the heavens!”

His spear left his hand, and the moment it did, Liu Feng himself disappeared.

But Shen Qiang’s eyes were focused on the spear that was coming toward him. He raised his great sword and swung upward as well.

This time, the sword gave a shining glow, and a visible sword light was exhumed from the sword. It was sword Dao, the terrifying thing it was. The sword light immediately collided with the blue dragon that coiled around the Ethereal Spear, flying through the air and trying to reach Shen Qiang.

Both attacks collided, and all that could be heard was a loud blast. Even a few hundred meters below, the disciples could feel a giant recoil from the simple aftermath of the collision. Many who were below the Xiantian realm could feel their very internal organs shake a little.

But they stood there still, looking up at the fight that was going on with intent eyes, It wasn’t everyday that their sect master had an opponent to spar against that was not Shen An.

Cai Guo was also on the ground, and he glared at Shen An.

“Why didn’t you protect your disciples from the attack? So many of them will get injured from the aftermath! They might lose some of their cultivation even to this.” He said.

“If that is the case, then let it be. If they don’t know their limits, what use is there in teaching them? And this is a fight that rarely comes. They can look at it and learn from both sides.” Shen An said, her eyes not missing a single piece of the action that was happening outside.

She wasn’t bothered about what Cai Guo said. All she wanted to do as watch the battle that was happening outside, and she couldn’t care less about what happened around her.

Cai Guo shook her head.

“I should have just left this place out. We don’t even know if we are going to get their support. In hindsight, this feels like a trap. A trap to slow Liu Feng down so that the crown prince can get to more prince- Wait a minute!” Cai Guo’s eyes widened.
