The moment he had this line of thought, it just wouldn’t leave Cai Guo’s mind. He couldn’t help but ask the woman in front of him.

“Shen An. If I find out that this I just a tactic to stall the Young Noble from meeting other princes, then I will make sure that you will regret it.” He clenched his teeth.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Shen An looked at him with confusion, as if she was actually surprised as to what he was talking about.

“You better not be playing ay tricks with us. The Cai family is going to do anything it can to try and win this fight. Anything we can.” Cai Guo snarled.

“I don’t know what is wrong with you. There is a wonderful fight going on right above us and you are talking about some random thing that I have never heard of.” Shen An shook her head and completely disregarded him.

Her eyes were locked above. They were only for the fight above.

Clang!

Liu Feng’s spear returned back to his hand while Shen Qiang’s great sword was trembling in his arms. In the middle of the blade, a small crack could be found right where Liu Feng’s spear hit the great sword.

And it surprised Liu Feng. For so long, his spear did quite the damage to other weapons, and yet remained so sturdy. He had a feeling that as long as he could find a way to upgrade the one he had right now, it would be perfect for him.

“To think that my great sword was damaged in this attack! If I didn’t defend it, it would have taken my head off in one strike!” Shen Qiang commented.

“And you did, so what’s the problem here? Do you not want me to go full tilt?” Liu Feng yawned, trying his best to taunt the old man in front of him.

But Shen Qiang had been through too much to fall for this. He shook it off and smiled.

“I was just exclaiming with surprise. You really are powerful. No wonder Gu Hai fell to your hands. I have no doubt that if you tried your best, you will definitely beat me with ease.” He said.

“If you wanted to win so desperately, then you would bring out the imperial artifact that your sect probably controls. None of us have used our biggest trump cards yet. This is not a true battle without, and in a true battle, well, I only fight with my truest strength against those who do not tell a tale after.” Liu Feng said.

What was this other than a threat? The only outcome of those who go up against his true strength would be death. One side or the other.

“Well that is not what we want, is it? Let us go another round.” Shen Qiang nodded as he dashed toward Liu Feng.

“I should finish this battle. It is taking too much time and it is kind of irritating at this point.” Liu Feng decided.

His spear shone as he disappeared once more. There was a blue line that was circling around one point. And in that one point, a second later. Shen Qiang appeared. His great sword slashed empty air, while a blue streak circled him.

This blue light was coming from the spear, or rather, a familiar blue dragon that was coiling it.

Shen Qiang’s face was solemn, and he held the sword hear his waist, holding its hilt up, blade down, with a majestic look on his face,

The sword shone with a yellow light, and the general manifestation appeared again. The general immediately started turning slowly, following Liu Feng’s movement.

And then, the general stopped, just as the blue light changed directions and dashed toward its enemy.

“Blue Dragon Spear Art! Blue Dragon Breaks through Hell!”

“One sword to kill a thousand!”

The two attacks, both of them evolutions of the ones each of them used before, dashed toward each other. This was a final performance, and they were all in on this one attack.

The heavy sword hit the spear, and Liu Feng’s figure reappeared, supporting the spear, trying to push forward.

But the great sword’s weight seemed too heavy. Even as the dragon tried its best to push the sword away, it roared with pain because the general that was above forced his own manifested sword onto the dragon.

This battle of manifestations could not be won by Liu Feng. Not when he was in a disadvantage like this. But the battle didn’t need to be won. The path wasn’t important.

The moment the manifestation of the general struck down, Liu Feng and the spear disappeared. Only a light after image of the dragon remained, and it eclipsed the surroundings.

But the general did not seem to change where he was looking. His eyes were locked on the slowly dissipating Blue dragon until it disappeared.

And then, the general seemed to be in the same state as Shen Qiang was in. No idea where Liu Feng had gone.

Swish!

Shen Qiang felt a strong wind rush by him. A wind that would come when someone fast rushed next to him.

Liu Feng was playing him now. He knew that Shen Qiang couldn’t know where he was. That was because there was a limit to what the general could do. And Liu Feng was testing that until now.

There was a limit to the speed the general could sense. After a point, sheer speed would prevail.

Clang!

A soft attack hit Shen Qiang from the back, and he fumbled forward, trying to stabilize himself mid air.

But at the same time, another attack came, and this time, from the side.

Clang!

The spear connected with Shen Qiang’s torso, and obviously, there was an armor there.

But Shen Qiang’s face was not looking good. He was taking attack on attack and he knew that he was at a disadvantage.

“Let us finish this now then.” Liu Feng’s voice whispered in his ear.
