"Attack!" both of them chorused then their sword auras dashed at each other, the sword auras were cancelling out each other but they still reformed themselves while the both of them recharged them by combining their flame power and their internal force and directing it at their sword auras with both of their palms stretched forward, red auras flowed out of their palms.
Huo Qiang swords were fiercer than Bingchen expected them to be, each of the strokes they created was causing huge damage to his swords, to reform them he had to input more internal force to counter the attacks.
"It is clear that Bingchen is on the losing side, Huo Qiang has been cultivating this skill for a long time so of course, Bingchen doesn't stand a chance," Huo Ying said
"If Bingchen doesn't end his attack, he will exhaust his internal strength and him won't even have an opportunity to win with the remaining two attacks he has," Huo Mei said with a worried expression on her face.
"Why do you seem so worried about him?" Huo Ying asked with a suspicious look on her face.
"What are you talking about, why would I be worried about him? he is the one who wants to show himself" Huo Mei said then she quickly dispelled the worry on her face.
Bingchen realised that if he still persisted in using the attack in the same way, he would lose so he decided to change his attack…
"Flame meteor sword combine!" Bingchen shouted, he raised his sword into the sky then all the sword auras in the sky combined to form one extra-large sword made of his sword aura.
"Combine!" Huo Qiang shouted then his swords combined together in the sky to form an extra-large sword that is even bigger than Bingchen's sword.
They both used their original sword to control the sword aura they formed in the sky, the both of them swung their swords around swiftly that even the disciples couldn't see how many strokes they had made in the air when they stopped swinging their swords, both swords descended and started attacking each other fiercely…
Clang!!!
Clang!!!
Clang!!!
Clang!!!
Both swords continued countering each other but they all knew that the winner depends on how much force they inputted into their swords and how many strokes they made, if one person made more strokes than the other then the other person won't be able to counter the other attacks.
Bingchen suspended his sword in the middle of his hands then he cupped his hand and brought then close to each other with a red aura emitting from his palms as he brought his hands apart, his sword began spinning very fast. As they sword in his hand spun around, the speed of his sword aura increased greatly….
"Block!" Huo Qiang shouted then his sword aura divided to form large swords that surrounded Huo Qiang leaving no space for Bingchen's attack to touch him, the attacks made by Bingchen swords hit the barrier instead but he continued intensifying the speed causing Huo Qiang to move back but he wasn't planning on retreating for long…
He pushed his hands forward, the impact of Bingchen's attacks backfired back on Bingchen causing him to fall to the ground and his attack automatically stopped while Huo Qiang ceased his attack.
They were all shocked at Huo Qiang strength, behind his soft-hearted appearance, who would have known that there is a strong fighter inside him...
"If he doesn't stand up now then he will lose," the sect madam said with concern written on her face, the elders turned to look at her to see if she was happy or sad about that but unexpectedly, they saw that worry had filled her face.
"seems like the sect madam has placed her bet on Huo Bingchen," the third elder said
"I doubt that," the second elder said, the first elder was in thought, he was expecting her to be happy if he loses this round but she seemed unhappy about that.
Bingchen slowly stood to his feet as he winced, he didn't expect that Huo Qiang's first attack would be so fierce.
"are you prepared for the second attack?" Huo Qiang asked to make sure that he was in good condition to fight.
"I am ready," Bingchen said, then they both dropped their sword on the ground
Then the both of them released their second attack at the same time…
"Flame pushing cloud fist!!" both of them chorused to the surprise of the audience, they were so much in sync…
A huge fist blazing with fire appeared at their backs, the fist seems a hundred times the size of their fist, the disciples opened their mouth wide agape when the both of them released this skill. The sect leader realized that the shield he used in the training ground is probably not strong enough for the attack they are about to release, so he quickly strengthened the shield with a snap of his fingers.
"Punch!" the both of them chorused at the same time, then the fists dashed towards each other, they both clashed causing a loud…
Bang!!!!
While both fists retreated including the initiators, then they both ran towards each other with their fists ahead of them, the moment their fist met, the fists behind them also clashed.
They both directed their internal strength into their fist using their other hand which strengthened the fists they created from their auras, both fists started moving back and forth depending on who has the upper hand at the moment….
"It seems like we don't have to get to the third round to decide the winner" Huo Qiang said
"oooooh! Why do you say so?" Bingchen asked
"You will know very soon," Huo Qiang said with a smile then he brought his palm backwards and brought it against his fist, increasing the internal force in his fist.
His sudden actions took Bingchen by surprise, the both of them moved back towards the same direction with their fists still joined together but…
Huo Qiang knew that his internal force has been affected because of the golden eagle's poison so he will need some time to rebuild his internal strength, he only gave Bingchen that last strike to let him know that even if he loses, the difference in their strength is still large but Bingchen wasn't aware of that….
He stopped them from moving back by pushing Huo Qiang away with his other palm but before Huo Qiang could regain his stance, he had already sent his fist aura after him but Huo Qiang has already exhausted himself so he couldn't counter, if he countered the attack then the impact of the fist will only make him fall to the ground without being able to fight him at that moment but if he didn't then he would be seriously injured by the attack from the large fist…
Everyone's eyes widened when they saw that Huo Qiang didn't have any intention of blocking or dodging the attack…
"Huo Qiang!" Huo Mei and the others on the high stand screamed.
Huo Ying quickly released her whip…
"Bind!" Huo Ying shouted, then her whip stretched until it could reach Huo Qiang at a very fast speed that it was difficult for anyone to even see what she did except for her mother who was her personal teacher in using the whip…
The whip wrapped itself around Huo Qiang's waist before Bingchen's attack hit him, then Huo Ying pulled the whip back to the high stand and unwrapped it from his waist, they were all relieved when they saw him safely arrive at the high stand but they weren't sure of how he got there until Huo Ying removed her whip from his waist.
"When did the young mistress pull him back?" one female disciple asked the male disciple standing close to her
"I didn't see it too" he replied.
"When did the young mistress save him?" the first elder asked with confusion evident on his face
"I was watching the fight closely but I didn't see her bring him back, I think the only person who knows the answer to that question would be the sect madam" the third elder answered, then they all turned to look at the sect madam.
"Madam, do you perhaps see what happened when the young mistress saved Huo Qiang?" the first elder asked
"Bingchen's fist aura was just three centimetres from Huo Qiang when she wrapped her whip around his waist and pulled him back" she replied with a smile on her face, by the look on her face, they knew that she was proud of Huo Ying's whip skill.
"The young mistress has inherited your whip skills it is very obvious that in some years' time, her whip skills will be peerless," the second elder said
"Thanks for the compliment, first elder" she replied.
The disciples were now confused, they weren't sure of who the winner of that round was supposed to go to and who won or lost the bet.
"Are both guardians willing to continue this round?" the Mcee asked
"I admit defeat!" Huo Qiang shouted to the surprise of everyone
"Okay, the winner is guardian Bingchen!" he announced then they all started cheering.
Who would have expected the person they dislike because of his constant defiance towards Huo Ying to have won three guardians, after this round, they all started to see him in a new light but they knew that if the effect of the poison had completely cleared from Huo Qiang's organs then they might end up with a draw.
The disciples who were in charge of giving the reward to those who had won the bet quickly transferred all the notes in Huo Qiang box into Bingchen's box.
"In the next round, Bingchen would be competing with the young mistress, everyone please make your bet" the Mcee announced
They all started to discuss amongst themselves, this time they weren't sure of who to place their bet on, on one hand, Huo Ying hasn't fully recovered and Bingchen has exerted his internal strength, so the result of this round seemed really hard to guess.
"From the last fight, I can be sure that Bingchen is at the tenth level of the core formation stage but it seems like Huo Qiang is not at the tenth level and he doesn't seem to have entered the Nascent soul stage," the third elder said
"That could only mean one thing… he is about to break into the first level of the Nascent soul stage" the first elder said
"if that is really the case then he would have won this round if he wasn't injured," the third elder said
"But they are both at the tenth level of the core formation stage but Huo Qiang's flame sword meteor shower is very strong, in this case, the level doesn't matter," the second elder said, while the first elder ran his hand through his beard.
"Huo Bingchen seems to be at the tenth level of the core formation stage," Huo Li said
"This round would have been won by Huo Qiang if he wasn't poisoned by that damned eagle" Huo Ying said
"It depends on you to make him lose," Huo Qiang said
"Don't worry, I will win this round," Huo Ying said, she stood up from her seat and walked to the middle of the training ground.
"Please…" Huo Ying said, then they both took their fighting stance while Huo Ying released a whip with a loud thud on the ground but before they could start fighting…...
"Stop!" the sect madam shouted from the peak.
"eeeh! what happened?
"Why did she stop them?"
The disciples started talking amongst themselves, they all thought that she was stopping the fight because she was worried about Huo Ying's condition.
"Dear! Why did you stop the fight?" the sect leader asked
"Bingchen has just exerted his internal force during the fight with Huo Qiang, it won't be fair to ask him to fight Huo Ying," she said
"What do you suggest we do then?" the third elder asked
They were all surprised that she was actually worried about Bingchen, not even Huo Ying when she was sent to the beast dungeon, she had threatened him to bury him along with Huo Ying but now she was being worried about him…...
Bingchen looked at her with thankfulness when he heard what she said, she sounded like a mother who was being worried about her son, he was even more convinced that she really cared about him.
"Why don't they compete in something else?" the sect madam replied
"What do you think they should compete in?" the first elder asked, he was also worried about the same thing but he decided to keep quiet about it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Attack!" both of them chorused then their sword auras dashed at each other, the sword auras were cancelling out each other but they still reformed themselves while the both of them recharged them by combining their flame power and their internal force and directing it at their sword auras with both of their palms stretched forward, red auras flowed out of their palms.
