440 A Huge Score Disadvantage
In the ring, a new round of competition had begun.

Two blurry silhouettes flickered and shuttled back and forth in mid-air. Hou Yu wielded a green wooden sword, and as he opened and closed it, streams of sharp Sword Qi shot out, causing the surrounding void to twist and distort. On the other hand, his opponent Zhan Ning had a pair of milky-white hand stingers on each of her hands. They were made from the sharp claws of a high-level demon beast, and were clearly an extraordinary spirit tool.

The green wooden sword and the white stingers collided continuously, creating a series of metallic sounds. Every time the two exchanged blows, it caused the void to tremble, and even cut open pitch-black cracks one after another. It was clear how sharp the sword was.

The two of them did not hold back at all. As the battle grew more and more intense, Hou Yu gradually showed signs of weakness and fatigue. On the other hand, Zhan Ning’s eyes were still flickering, as if she was getting more and more excited as the battle went on. Her entire state did not seem any different from before.

Ding ding ding-

Another series of metallic sounds rang out, and the two figures retreated at the same time.

Hou Yu retreated a few hundred meters, while Zhan Ning only retreated half a hundred meters.

The difference in strength between the two was obvious, and it also determined the outcome of the battle.

“As expected of the second strongest person in the Zhan Clan’s younger generation. I am impressed.”

“Cough, cough.” Hou Yu coughed a few times and wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. “Even so, you have to pay a price if you want to win this competition.”

As Hou Yu’s voice fell, he changed to holding the sword with both hands and slowly raised the green wooden sword in his hand. A turbulent spiritual energy storm instantly surged up, and a huge green sword light that was a thousand feet wide appeared. The sharp Sword Qi immediately filled the entire arena.

“This is the strongest attack I can use right now. If you can withstand it, I, Hou Yu, will admit my defeat.”

Hou Yu spoke with some difficulty. At this time, the spiritual energy in his body was disappearing at an astonishing speed, and the disappearing spiritual energy was all poured into the green sword light above.

As more and more spiritual energy gathered, the green sword light became more and more solid. As the green light flickered, it made people feel as if they were looking at a real giant sword that was a thousand feet away.

“As you wish.” Zhan Ning’s pupils reflected the massive green sword light as she spoke softly.

The next moment, she put the hand stinger back into her bag and clenched her fists. Her clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. A large amount of spiritual power that was visible to the naked eye was madly flowing into her fists.

“It’s the Valiant Heavenly Divine Fist again…”

Looking at this scene, Gu Xi, who was below the stage, could not help but narrow his eyes.

At the same time, four Fist Shadows gradually appeared in the world.

Each Fist Shadow was hundreds of feet in size. The four Fist Shadows almost covered the entire sky, causing the arena to fall into darkness for a short time.

In the darkness, the green sword light was even more conspicuous.

“The fourth level… I don’t know if I can take it. ”

Hou Yu looked at the four Fist Shadows that covered the sky, then looked at his own green sword light. He could not help but lose some confidence after this comparison.

Just as he finished speaking, the four Fist Shadows above him moved. The Fist Shadows fell one after another, and every time one fell, it would reveal a piece of blue Sky and white clouds.

“Azure Light Sword Slash!”

Hou Yu roared as he looked at the descending fist. The green wooden sword in his hand did not hesitate at all as it slashed down in the direction of the Fist Shadow.

In the next moment, the green sword light tore through the void, carrying with it a surge of spiritual energy to meet the four huge fists. In a flash, they had already collided.

Immediately after, an earth-shattering boom sounded.

After a heart-palpitating explosion, an impact that could overturn everything spread rapidly in all directions. Fortunately, a few judges worked together to block the impact within the range of the ring. Otherwise, if the impact had spread to the stands, there would definitely be casualties.

“Who won? Who won?”

In the stands, the atmosphere was in full swing. At this time, the crowd had no time to care about the impact that had almost taken them away. One by one, their eyes were locked on the ring, wanting to know the result of this competition.

Dust flew up on the stage but quickly settled down.

There were still two figures on the stage, but one had fallen to the ground and was not getting up, while the other was still standing. And the person who was standing was Zhan Ning.

“I’ve lost…”

Hou Yu lay on the ground and looked at the sky with a dazed look. He laughed at himself.

The green wooden sword had been broken into two pieces and was lying quietly beside him.

He had originally thought that his talent and strength were comparable to those geniuses of the first-rate forces. He had not expected that Zhan Ning would ruthlessly destroy his thoughts today.

On the other hand, Zhan Ning’s clothes were a little messy, but there were no obvious injuries on her body. She only looked a little disheveled.

“The fifth round, the Zhan Clan wins!”

The judge did a simple check on Hou Yu’s injuries. After confirming that he was unable to continue fighting, he announced the final result of the competition.

In the room above, Tong Shan and the other man fell silent.

They had originally thought that with Hou Yu’s strength, even if he could not defeat all of the Zhan Clan’s troops, he could at least exchange for two of their opponents. But now, he had been taken down by just one person.

This result was beyond their expectations.

Hou Yu was then carried off the stage, followed by Liu Li from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. At this moment, he was extremely nervous, even trembling in front of Zhan Ning.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous when facing the second strongest person of the Zhan Clan’s younger generation, who had just defeated their number one expert, Hou Yu.

“The sixth round of the competition, begin!”

The referee announced the start of the competition.

A new round of battle was about to start.

Liu Li did not dare to hold back in the slightest. He used all his means to defeat Zhan Ning. At the very least, he could not let down the exhaustion that Hou Yu had put on Zhan Ning.

However, he had clearly underestimated Zhan Ning’s true strength. No matter how many tricks he used, even the various spirit tools, he could not do anything to Zhan Ning.

The battle between the two of them continued for about 15 minutes. It ended with Zhan Ning’s victory, while Liu Li was knocked unconscious.

If it was not for the fact that he had used up a lot of his energy when he fought Hou Yu, the time it would take for Zhan Ning to defeat Liu Li would have been shortened by a lot. It might even have been possible for her to end the battle with a single thunderous attack.

“The sixth round of the competition, the Zhan Clan wins!”

As the referee’s announcement rang out again, the stands were filled with cheers.
