The final battle was the center of everyone's attention. There was a five-day break in between. During these five days, everyone waited with bated breath.
The bustling market had also quietened down because the eliminated disciples were no longer buying or selling. The only buyers were Huangfu Song and Li Chengfeng.
When there were only two buyers, it was obvious that the market would not be able to operate. Moreover, the talismans and magical weapons sold in the market were targeted at cultivators who were more commoners. It was impossible for these merchants to have truly powerful magical weapons or even top-notch magical weapons. Otherwise, they would invite a fatal disaster upon themselves.
As for the magical treasures and talismans of the commoners, the cultivators who fought until the end often had no use for them. Naturally, they became priceless items. The merchants in the market had also closed the market early. Although they pursued profits, they were also eager to join in the fun. Some astute ones began to open all kinds of bets in the market, betting on who would win and who would lose in the final battle.
Li Chengfeng's bets were way ahead, at a frightening one to one ratio. Basically, he did not think Huangfu Song would win.
However, Li Chengfeng did not let his guard down. He knew that in order to reach this final round, he had been through a lot of hardships and had put in a lot of effort. He could not afford to be careless. He had to focus all his energy and focus to win this final round.
Li Chengfeng had a strong feeling that this might be the most important battle he had ever experienced!
If he won, he could become a carp that leaped through the dragon's gate, turning into a dragon and soaring through the nine heavens. If he lost, he would be beaten back to his original form. Not only would he be finished, he would also implicate his family and friends.
However, Li Chengfeng knew himself best. Although he had already planted a bomb at Huangfu Song's place, it was targeted at Huangfu Song's Sacred Heavenly Fire Sword. If he had other trump cards, would Li Chengfeng be able to deal with them without knowing anything?
Li Chengfeng had basically revealed all his trump cards. The triple attack he had used against Chen Xuanyu, the power of plants, the power of trees and the power of insects was specially prepared for Huangfu Song.
However, Chen Xuanyu's provocation had made the enraged Li Chengfeng use the triple attack on Chen Xuanyu. Then, Zhan Qisheng exposed the secret behind the triple attack. If he used it again, it would no longer have any effect.
Even if he wanted to send the grass seed into his opponent's body, it would be impossible. Everyone would be on guard against this move of his.
Cultivators were no fools!
Li Chengfeng's spell range and power had also increased. That was why, even though Li Chengfeng looked extremely powerful, he knew that this was his weakest moment. He had no more secrets!
And other than the Skyfire Sacred Sword, what else did Huangfu Song have?
Li Chengfeng knew nothing.
Time flew by. Li Chengfeng knew very well that he would not be able to break through to the Fourth Heavenly Layer in the next few days. Although he could clearly feel that he was standing at the door, and if he took a step inside, he would be in a whole new realm and a whole new power. However, this door seemed to be avoiding him, and he could not take a step inside.
Li Chengfeng did not force himself. He forced himself to calm down and nurse his body, at the same time trying his best not to think about Su Yuehan.
Time flew and it was the fourth day. One day before the final battle, an unexpected but reasonable guest arrived at Li Chengfeng's house.
"You sure are relaxed!"
Grand Senior Sister couldn't help but mock Li Chengfeng when she saw him sitting on the edge of the ditch where she planted the Rainbow Sickle Senna flowers. He was staring blankly at the setting sun in the distance.
Grand Senior Sister knew that this was a place that Li Chengfeng and Yuehan had personally cultivated. She did not know why, but when she saw Li Chengfeng sitting here like this, she felt slightly uncomfortable.
If she felt uncomfortable, she wanted Li Chengfeng to feel uncomfortable too.
Li Chengfeng turned to look at her, slightly surprised, but asked casually, "Why are you here?"
Grand Senior Sister smirked. "Huangfu Song is mobilising all the power he can to arm himself and strengthen himself. You, on the other hand, are so relaxed!
Do you really think you'll win? "
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Not really. It's just that I can't control Huangfu Song, and I can't improve myself in such a short time, so … I can only sit here and bask in the sun."
Grand Senior Sister stood less than five metres away from him, neither too close nor too far. She smirked. "Hmph, what if you lose?"
He leaned back lazily on the snow-covered field. "You won't let me lose!"
Grand Senior Sister raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"You only gave me the Sunset Spear because you wanted to see my true abilities and potential, to see if I'm worth investing in. Now, I think I've proven my abilities and potential. If you care about the rules, you'll stick to them. If I don't get first, you won't give me the Sunset Spear. But you'll definitely help me in other areas, or else … all your previous investments will go to waste. If you don't care about the rules, you'll give me the Sunset Spear now, and I won't have anything to worry about.
With the Sunset Spear, I'm a hundred percent sure I can defeat Huangfu Song! "
Li Chengfeng's smile was mischievous, with a hint of cynicism. "So, no matter what, I'm not in a rush, don't you think?
Grand Senior Sister? "
The Grand Senior Sister's heart burned with anger, especially when she saw Li Chengfeng's irritating smile. She wanted to punch and kick this guy to vent her anger!
No cultivator in the entire Spiritual Mountain Sect, or even the entire world, would ever speak to her like this!
Which male cultivator would not be shocked, admiring, envious, greedy, longing, even possessive and crazy when they saw her? But none of them were like Li Chengfeng. Not only did he look down on her, he even knew everything about her. Not only that, he even teased her, mocked her, and even … teased and teased her!
This feeling made Grand Senior Sister anxious and angry. She felt like she was losing control.
Ever since she hid in the Spiritual Mountain Sect, she was used to slowly plotting and controlling everything. Once something or someone went out of her control, she would be in pain and lose her mind.
Grand Senior Sister took a deep breath, resisting the urge to beat him up. She smirked. "Aren't you afraid you've guessed wrong?"
Li Chengfeng said casually, "If I'm wrong, you wouldn't be here.
You're a busy person with the whole world in your heart. I don't know what earth-shattering things you want to do, but I think that this matter requires my participation. So, don't care about your face and keep beating around the bush. Tell me directly, what do you want?
Are you going to give me the Sunset Spear? "
Grand Senior Sister stared at Li Chengfeng and took a deep breath, her fists hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly. After witnessing Li Chengfeng's battle with Ouyang Xiu, she had a whole new level of respect for him. She even admired him and started to acknowledge him.
