Of course, Li Chengfeng's nine spear strikes could not be all solid. If he could, the founder of the Cleansing Moon Sect, Li Yue, would have crawled out of his ancestral grave and laughed his head off. He had a worthy successor.
However, Li Chengfeng could definitely make two consecutive strikes out of the nine!
These two spears were hidden among the nine spears, making it impossible for anyone to guess which spear was real and which was fake!
This was the essence of spear techniques. It came and went like lightning, unpredictably unpredictable and unblockable!
Mo Yu was not a martial artist, but as a cultivator, he had his own abilities. He clapped his hands together, his palms glowing with a golden light. Then, he pushed his palms towards the exact spot where Li Chengfeng's two spear strikes were coming from!
Li Chengfeng was shocked, then sneered.
Trying to catch a spear with your bare hands?
Did you think you could catch a blade with your bare hands?
You must be tired of living!
What a joke!
Li Chengfeng's wrist shook and the spear sped up, instantly piercing through Mo Yu's palm, leaving a bloody hole in both his front and back!
However, just as Li Chengfeng was about to retract his spear, he realised that the golden light from Mo Yu's palm had condensed on his wound, protecting it from further damage. At the same time, it locked Li Chengfeng's Sunset Spear in place!
Li Chengfeng's heart thumped when he failed to retract his spear. He immediately realised that Mo Yu was different from all the opponents he had fought before!
This was a ruthless person!
When others fought, they would leave some leeway, especially for their bodies. However, Mo Yu was obviously someone with extremely rich battle experience and had fought in many bloody battles. He knew how to use all the conditions of his body to weaken and restrain his opponent, pulling the battle into an environment that he was familiar with!
He was the same type of person as him!
The moment Li Chengfeng pierced his palm, Mo Yu immediately grabbed the Setting Sun Spear with his fingers and pulled hard, trying to pull Li Chengfeng towards him. Then, he clenched his remaining hand into a fist and punched towards Li Chengfeng!
When he punched out, his fist compressed layers of air ripples. It looked slow, but in reality, it was because his speed had reached a certain level, and his strength had reached a certain level, so there was a strange visual disparity.
Li Chengfeng's expression changed. At that moment, a thought popped into his head. Should he let go and dodge, or should he snatch the spear?
If it was any other spear, Li Chengfeng would have let go without a second thought, but … this was the Setting Sun Spear!
Li Chengfeng did not dare to let go!
In that brief moment, Li Chengfeng was immediately hit!
The punch landed heavily on Li Chengfeng's chest, almost causing his body to fold up. His back arched up high like a shrimp!
When the fist landed on Li Chengfeng's body, he felt as if a raging bull had struck his heart. His mind buzzed, his vision turned black and he could not see anything. His entire body instantly lost all strength!
Shit!
He had been knocked out of control!
Li Chengfeng's mind was extremely clear but his body could not react according to the will of his brain due to his heavy injuries. This was the state that every cultivator feared the most!
He had the will but not the strength!
A cultivator's mental cultivation was close to limitless, but there was a limit to the body cauldron. When the body cauldron received a fierce attack, it would produce all sorts of stress reactions. The most terrifying were the two states. One was the state of control, where the body was not under control, allowing the opponent to do whatever they wanted. The other was the state of continuous consumption, where the body would continue to bleed and sustain serious injuries. In this state, the battle would become weaker and weaker. There was no need for the opponent to finish them off, as time would end the battle.
Li Chengfeng could only rely on his years of experience of being beaten up to keep his body curled up, trying his best to protect his weak points. At the same time, he used his mind to control the plants and insects to charge at Mo Yu.
But it was all in vain. The only thing that could save Li Chengfeng was the three layers of armour he was wearing!
Everyone watched from afar as Mo Yu grabbed Li Chengfeng with one hand and punched Li Chengfeng with the other like a punching bag. Each punch produced a loud bang, causing yellow sand to fly out of Li Chengfeng's body. The air around him trembled and ripples could be seen with the naked eye.
This terrifying attack lasted for a total of nine punches!
Ouyang Xiu's mouth went dry. She felt that even a steel man would be smashed into meat paste under these nine punches!
If it was her, she would probably die from just three punches, much less nine!
Even Grand Senior Sister raised an eyebrow slightly, visibly moved.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng's three armors were almost completely broken. The outer quicksand armor, the middle armor,
The outer quicksand armour, the inner quicksand armour, and the Golden Body Armour were all shattered. His armour was in tatters, revealing his flesh and blood everywhere.
Li Chengfeng's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bleeding profusely. His vision darkened as the world spun around him. If he was not a cautious person who gave himself three layers of armour, he would've been beaten to death if he had stayed!
After Mo Yu's nine punches, he continued to grab Li Chengfeng with one hand while the other opened his palm. A giant axe spun from the ground and flew into his hand. He raised the axe and swung it down on Li Chengfeng's head!
Mo Yu wanted to kill Li Chengfeng in one strike. He did not choose to punch Li Chengfeng a tenth time because he realised the arbiters around him were starting to gather, trying to stop this battle.
That was why Mo Yu wanted to kill Li Chengfeng in one strike. He wanted to kill a strong enemy like Li Chengfeng!
It was Mo Yu's habit to be merciless and this was also in line with the Hidden Modesty Court's interests!
But it was this little bit of effort that gave Li Chengfeng precious time to catch his breath!
The moment Mo Yu swung his axe down, the arbiters around him immediately moved. Just as they were about to stop the battle, Li Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes. He quickly grabbed Mo Yu's arm and pulled hard, throwing himself into Mo Yu's arms. Following the momentum, he headbutted Mo Yu on the bridge of his nose!
This was like a street fight between gangsters. There was no technique, it was all instinct.
But it was very effective!
This time, Li Chengfeng used all his strength in this life and death situation. Forget a head, even a rock could be smashed open!
Mo Yu's face instantly bloomed and he saw stars. With a loud cry, the giant axe in his hand struck empty air!
Li Chengfeng's body then fell down, one hand holding the Setting Sun Spear. With a twist of his body, his legs coiled around Mo Yu's neck like a python. He pulled the hand holding the Setting Sun Spear back and spun around Mo Yu's neck like a spinning top. In an instant, he was behind Mo Yu. At the same time, he used the Setting Sun Spear to bind Mo Yu's palm to Mo Yu's back. He could not use any strength at all.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng's legs were coiled around Mo Yu's neck. The strength of his thighs was instantly released, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Yu's face had turned red.
This was the "Coiling Old Tree's Roots" of the Golden Silk Entanglement Hands that Madam Xie had passed on to him. It was similar to the moves of Fang Zhongshu and was quite alluring. However, the person who was hit by this move would feel extremely terrified!
Because this technique was used on the thighs, and the thighs were the most powerful part of a person's body. Once one's thighs wrapped around one's neck, it would be much scarier than being coiled by a python!
In the blink of an eye, one would feel dizzy. In the blink of an eye, one would go into shock and lose the ability to fight!
How long was a blink of an eye?
Five seconds!
In other words, the opponent only had five seconds to react to this technique. The battle would end in ten seconds!
Mo Yu was very experienced in these kinds of battles. The moment he was entangled, he immediately swung his axe towards the thighs wrapped around his neck.
Li Chengfeng's reflexes were even faster. The moment Mo Yu moved, he had already predicted his opponent's move. He immediately let go and switched from the 'Coiling Old Tree Roots' to the even more terrifying 'Naked Hell Killing Strangle'!
Li Chengfeng had once used this technique to strangle a Divine Art master to death. Now that he was using it again, Mo Yu immediately made a gurgling sound. In just a moment, Mo Yu's face turned purplish red and blood oozed from his nose and mouth!
Grand Senior Sister could not help but shake her head and smirk. "A fake golden body is just a fake golden body …"
Ouyang Xiu nodded slightly too. She felt that this battle was thrilling. The outcome of the battle could change so quickly that she, as an outsider, could not breathe.
They knew very well that in terms of pure strength, Mo Yu was indeed stronger than Grand Senior Sister and Shanxue. However, strength was not the only thing that mattered in a fight.
The biggest difference between a real golden body master and a real golden body master was that Li Chengfeng's technique was absolutely useless against a real golden body master. However, it was effective against a fake golden body master like Mo Yu!
Why?
Because Mo Yu did not have a real golden body to protect himself!
Because Mo Yu relied too much on the transmission and conduction of magical energy. This transmission and conduction was transmitted through a cultivator's Qi and blood, which was guided through breathing.
Without breathing and with the blood vessels around his neck severed, Mo Yu's connection to the array was cut off. He could not receive the support of the Three Mystic One Purity Array for a short period of time, so he could not rely on a powerful burst of magical energy to push Li Chengfeng away!
The judges who were about to rush forward to stop the battle stopped. However, they quickly hesitated. Should they stop Li Chengfeng?
It looked like Mo Yu was about to be subdued by Li Chengfeng but should they announce Mo Yu's failure and withdraw from the battle?
This was a difficult decision to make because it would mean announcing Hidden Sword Court's victory!
In front of Li Chengfeng, no one could stop him from breaking the array and taking the flag!
However, if they did not announce it, Mo Yu might be strangled to death by Li Chengfeng!
Just as they were in a dilemma, the situation suddenly changed again!
