Just as everyone's eyes widened and held their breaths, Li Chengfeng suddenly curled his body and legs in mid-air. Then, countless flying insects gathered behind him, forming a large black 'stepping stone'. This' stepping stone 'matched Li Chengfeng's movements, forming a propelling force.
Li Chengfeng's feet kicked off the 'stepping stone', and his body suddenly accelerated towards Huangfu Song in mid-air!
This sudden acceleration was a sudden change in the situation!
Huangfu Song's Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword's power was at its maximum when he swung his sword. However, Li Chengfeng's sudden acceleration gave Huangfu Song a chance!
When Li Chengfeng arrived in front of Huangfu Song's face, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword's power had not been fully unleashed. There was only heat but no Heavenly Fire!
Huangfu Song was now faced with a very awkward situation!
If Huangfu Song did not increase the speed of his Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword, there would be an opening in front of him. Li Chengfeng would be the first to attack, and this attack could even kill him!
However, if Huangfu Song increased the speed of his Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword and blocked in front of him, he would have to stop the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword's charge!
This was because during the charging process of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword, its power, resistance, and momentum would multiply!
When it swung an inch, it carried a force of a hundred catties. However, when it swung five inches, the force it produced would increase to a thousand catties. When it swung an inch, the force it produced could reach a terrifying ten thousand catties!
With such a terrifying increase in power, it was impossible for it to suddenly increase in speed midway. This was because at that moment, the Skyfire Sacred Sword's powerful kinetic energy and power would take the lead. It would be the one driving Huangfu Song, and not the other way around!
That was why Huangfu Song had to stop charging so he could accelerate the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword in front of him. However, if he did that, he would be playing into Li Chengfeng's hands!
However, if he did not do that, Huangfu Song would be in danger of dying!
At that moment, Huangfu Song's mind was in turmoil. But in that moment of hesitation, Li Chengfeng had already sped up and was right in front of him. He brandished his broken sword and slashed at Huangfu Song's neck!
If this strike landed, Huangfu Song's head would be separated from his body. The body cauldron that he had cultivated for so many years would be destroyed by Li Chengfeng!
This was definitely not a loss that Huangfu Song could bear!
At this moment, Huangfu Song no longer had the time or opportunity to hesitate!
Li Chengfeng's sudden attack had messed up all of Huangfu Song's preparations, forcing him into a dead end and pulling the tempo back to his own!
In the nick of time, Huangfu Song stopped charging his Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword and held it horizontally in front of him, blocking Li Chengfeng's attack!
At this moment, the two legendary swords clashed violently!
A crisp clang resounded throughout the entire arena!
This was Li Chengfeng's dream, so he used all his strength, hoping to break the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword in one strike!
However, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was ranked as the fifth legendary sword, so it was naturally not easy to deal with. Although Huangfu Song had stopped charging his sword, he still had the power he had previously accumulated. When the two swords clashed, the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword trembled violently and let out a buzzing sound. The extremely hidden cracks on the sword suddenly widened, but Li Chengfeng did not fare any better.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng felt an extremely powerful force rebounding against him. It shook him so much that his palm was in pain.
But at this moment, Li Chengfeng gritted his teeth and gripped the Heaven-Splitting Sword tightly once more. He raised it and slashed down with all his might!
The two of them were now in close combat. This was the most dangerous and cruel stage of the fight. Even if both of them had all their powers, they could not use them because in this split second, there was no time or space to cast spells!
Li Chengfeng raised his sword and slashed down. This slash seemed to be aimed at Huangfu Song's head, but in reality, it was still aimed at the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword in Huangfu Song's hand.
With Li Chengfeng's swordsmanship, he could completely avoid the two swords clashing and even further injure Huangfu Song.
However, Li Chengfeng knew that with Huangfu Song's strength, if he were to forcefully injure or even kill him, it was very likely that Huangfu Song would reveal his trump card prematurely, causing Li Chengfeng's plan to fail!
And once Huangfu Song was forced to reveal his trump card prematurely, Li Chengfeng would have to face the encirclement of two powerful magical weapons. In that situation, Li Chengfeng would definitely not be able to turn the tables!
That was why Li Chengfeng did not force Huangfu Song into a corner right from the start. Instead, he used a seemingly violent attack, but in reality, every strike was to create a collision between the two swords. He used the Heaven-Splitting Sword to attack the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword's blade, and every strike seemed to hit the same spot!
Everyone could only hear a series of clanging sounds. Every strike could shake the air, causing golden halos to spread in all directions.
Li Chengfeng slashed ten times in a very short period of time. After ten strikes, his palms were covered in blood, so slippery that he could barely hold his sword. There was not an inch of skin between his thumb and forefinger that was unscathed. The muscles on his arms were almost completely torn from the violent impact. Blood seeped out of every pore on his arms. It was a terrifying sight!
However, Li Chengfeng did not seem to feel it. He followed Huangfu Song like a shadow. No matter how Huangfu Song retreated, he was like a maggot in his bones, chasing and slashing!
After the last strike, his right hand was shaken to the point where he could no longer hold his sword. He suddenly let go, then turned around and slashed again with his other hand.
This time, everyone sensed that something was wrong!
They had studied all of Li Chengfeng's abilities and trump cards. Some even studied the Cleansing Moon Li family's sword and spear techniques. From there, they knew that Li Chengfeng's sword and spear techniques were impressive.
With Li Chengfeng's exquisite sword techniques, there was no way he would act so clumsily!
How could he fight ten times in a row?
Those who knew could tell that this was a brutal hand-to-hand fight. However, those who did not would have thought that someone was forging iron just by listening to the sounds!
If it was one or two, or even three or four times, it would be a coincidence. However, ten consecutive strikes was inevitable!
Huangfu Song immediately understood Li Chengfeng's intentions. He was shocked and enraged!
The Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was his lifeblood, yet Li Chengfeng wanted to destroy it with the broken sword in his hand!
Huangfu Song flicked Li Chengfeng away with his sword. Just as Li Chengfeng had used up all his energy and was about to recover, Huangfu Song's palm suddenly lit up. A talisman in his palm instantly burned and turned into ashes. A golden talisman appeared in his palm and he slammed it towards Li Chengfeng.
Li Chengfeng immediately felt a tremendous force crashing down on him like a mountain, sending him flying!
Seeing that Li Chengfeng was about to be thrown out of the arena, the crowd gasped!
Li Chengfeng was even more shocked, but he forced himself to twist his body in the air with his amazing physique. He flipped over and stabbed the Heaven Splitter Sword into the ground, using the resistance from the sword to stop his body from falling. The broken sword had already plowed a trench in front of him, and he had already slid to the edge of the arena. Half of his foot was already out of the boundary. If he moved another meter, he would be out of the boundary!
Li Chengfeng narrowly avoided being out of the arena. However, everyone could see that Li Chengfeng's ferocious attack … had failed!
Because Huangfu Song's Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was still intact!
Li Chengfeng had been sent flying by Huangfu Song. The distance between the two had increased once again!
With Huangfu Song's abilities and intelligence, he would never give Li Chengfeng another chance to get close to him. As long as Huangfu Song used the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword's large-scale fire attack again, this battle would basically be over!
However, just as the crowd was deciding the outcome of this battle, Ouyang Xiu and Zhan Qisheng, who had been watching Li Chengfeng closely, saw a faint smile appear on his lips.
This was the smile he would show when he had defeated someone stronger than him, confident that victory was within his grasp!
This smile made their hearts skip a beat, followed by a chill!
Could it be that … Li Chengfeng had set up a trap right under their noses that they didn't know about?
But why couldn't they tell?
