When the crowd saw Li Chengfeng and Ma Yaowei cursing at each other in the arena, they looked like street thugs. They did not look like cultivators at all. Some found it amusing and laughed out loud, while others felt ashamed and disdained to be associated with such people. Some of them had a bad temper and fanned the flames from the side, as if they wanted the world to be in chaos.
For a time, a perfectly fine battle arena had become like a market, bustling and clamorous, and filled to the brim with noise and excitement.
Han Tianxing gaped at the arena. To him, although Li Chengfeng's cultivation was not high, he had won every battle. Even if he met the unbeatable Xi Mengcai, he would still have a way to bring them out of here alive. He was like a god.
Yet someone like this was cursing his opponent's mother at such an important event!
How … how could this be?
Ouyang Nan sucked in a cold breath, looking at Xiaobao with a troubled expression. "Junior Brother … could it be … he's underestimating his opponent?
But … Ma Yaowei won't come down no matter what. If this goes on, it'll be a draw at most and he might even get points deducted as a warning … Aiyo!
We've been tricked! "
At this point, Ouyang Nan slapped his thigh and exclaimed in shock, "Could it be that this guy was specially sent to test Junior Brother Chengfeng?"
Everyone snapped out of their daze, their expressions changing as they cursed in unison, "Treacherous!
Despicable!
Who would use such a shameless trick?! "
Han Tianxing said anxiously, "Could it be on purpose?
To drag Senior Brother into a draw? "
Ouyang Nan raged, "What I'm most afraid of is the referee judging both sides slow down. That'll be so frustrating!"
Han Tianxing raged, "How can this work?
Isn't this cheating? "
Su You said helplessly, "As long as it's within the rules, it's allowed.
That's why everyone keeps a close eye on the rankings every time, afraid that someone will do something strange outside the arena or devious in the arena. "
Ouyang Nan couldn't help but curse out loud, cursing along with the rest of the crowd.
Ma Yaowei's move was a typical crooked move. He was hovering in mid-air, refusing to come down. He was not confident that he could defeat Li Chengfeng, who he did not know how strong he was. His cultivation was definitely not comparable to Li Maoran and the rest, but even Li Maoran and the rest were defeated by Li Chengfeng, and it looked like Li Chengfeng did not even use his full strength!
Yuehan, Xiaobao, and the rest knew Li Chengfeng very well. All they could think of were his weaknesses and flaws, afraid that they would be discovered by others. That was why they were all anxious and worried.
However, they never thought that in the eyes of those who did not know Li Chengfeng, he was a monster!
A disciple who had just entered the sect for more than a month was actually able to consecutively kill two powerful Senior Brothers!
He had never heard of such a thing, let alone seen it before!
Li Chengfeng seemed to have sprung out of a rock!
Some people tried to investigate Li Chengfeng's background, only to find out that he was a descendant of the world's number one sect, the Cleansing Moon Sect. That was why they suspected that he had inherited the true skills of his family before he entered the sect.
However, this thought was quickly overturned. What if he was really that strong?
Why would the Cleansing Moon Sect fall to such a state?
If one had this kind of ability, wanting to restore the glory of the world's number one sect was probably a pipe dream. However, making a name for oneself in Jianghu was as easy as flipping one's hand. How could it have fallen to such a state?
But where did he get his skills from?
Those with deeper thoughts recalled Shanxue's accusations against Li Chengfeng during the trial for the Heaven Questioning Bell incident. All of a sudden, these people had their own thoughts. They looked at Li Chengfeng with different, meaningful gazes.
Ma Yaowei did not have the confidence to defeat Li Chengfeng, but he had a plan. He knew that he would use words to provoke Li Chengfeng into fighting him in mid-air. That way, his chances of winning would increase. Even if Li Chengfeng did not come, he would still be undefeatable.
Not all cultivators in the world were good at flying, and fighting in mid-air might not be able to unleash all of one's powers.
The reason was simple, one could not do two things at once!
The art of flight was born from the use of wind spells. If one wanted to be proficient in the art of flight, they would need to be proficient in wind spells. And wind spells were born from the variation of fire spells and water spells. If one wanted to cultivate wind spells, they would need to have some attainments in these two spells.
This was because when this person was flying in the air, he was already in the stage of controlling and using wind magic. If he were to use other magic to fight the enemy at this time, it would be like driving a car on the battlefield while fighting with people. It would be strange if he could display his full strength.
Only when one's cultivation had reached a certain level would they be able to cast such spells as if they were light. Only then would they be able to display their full strength. At that time, cultivators were truly peerless experts, and their strength would be several times stronger than before.
When Ma Yaowei saw that Li Chengfeng could only helplessly throw stones at him despite his insults, Ma Yaowei calmed down and laughed out loud. "Li Chengfeng, if this is all you've got, you should just surrender this round!"
As he spoke, Ma Yaowei raised both his hands. A gust of wind swirled in his palms, forming two invisible wind blades. With a wave of his fingers, the two wind blades whistled through the air and flew towards Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng saw the air in front of him distort as a gust of wind blew towards him. Although he could not see the incoming danger, Li Chengfeng instinctively dodged to the side. The two wind blades brushed past him and hit the ground, shattering the stone slabs of the arena and sending gravel flying everywhere.
As Li Chengfeng dodged, he grabbed a few more gravel with both hands and threw them at Ma Yaowei in mid-air.
Ma Yaowei, who was in mid-air, laughed heartily. Wind blades and wind spears appeared in his hands one after another, smashing towards the battlefield like a torrential storm.
The shouting match that everyone had been watching for half a day had finally begun. Everyone cheered and cheered.
However, some of the more observant people saw that Li Chengfeng only dodged and did not use his previous techniques. They all thought to themselves, 'Could it be that the trees Li Chengfeng controlled could not reach that long?
Or was it because the height was too high that this technique could not achieve the same effect as a surprise attack? '
Everyone here was a cultivator and most of them were elites. None of them were idiots. After some thought, they discovered a huge weakness in Li Chengfeng's art of controlling plants and flowers: speed and explosive power!
Although the speed of the flowers, plants, and trees forming vines, giant pythons, or giant hands to launch a surprise attack wasn't considered slow, and if they were used against ordinary people, they would definitely be able to catch them. However, if they were used against cultivators who could ascend to the heavens or enter the earth, they would be looking down on the heroes and warriors of the world too much.
Both times Li Chengfeng succeeded, there was a common premise: the opponent was careless and caught off guard by Li Chengfeng. Li Chengfeng then locked onto their bodies and beat them up so that they could not circulate their Qi normally and could not fight back to escape.
However, once the opponent was prepared, or placed in an environment where they could not be ambushed, the weakness of the trees and flowers would be exposed.
The speed of this technique was not worth mentioning in the eyes of those who were prepared. As long as they were prepared, they could dodge it with their eyes closed, much less with their eyes open!
Moreover, once they were caught, they could immediately cast a spell to escape without waiting for the opponent to smash them. Then, the Tree Trap technique would be useless.
Ouyang Nan and the rest outside the arena were relieved when they saw the situation change. The fight had officially begun, but soon, they began to worry again.
Because if Li Chengfeng continued to fight like this … without any ability to fight back, the referee would easily declare him the loser!
