97: C97 Terrifying Speed

C97 Terrifying Speed

In the central square, as soon as Gao Wu finished speaking, Qi Zhuohao immediately walked out of the crowd. One. He jumped onto the arena and waited for his opponent to come on stage. It was the same as the match two days ago. Qi Zhuohao was very calm, no matter who his opponent was. He was not afraid!

Very quickly, a dark-faced youth walked onto the arena. And... He stood opposite of Qi Zhuohao. His name was Ma Ming. He was the son of Ma Zhenlong, one of the 36 Deacon in Heavenly Nether Peak. Ma Ming was very strong. He was truly a father without a son.

Ma Ming was an expert at the ninth level of the Spirit Acceptance realm. His cultivation realm was six minor realms higher than Qi Zhuohao's. However, the advantage of his realm did not allow him to look down on Qi Zhuohao in the slightest. On the contrary, he was very afraid of Qi Zhuohao!

"Junior Brother Qi, I have watched every match of yours. I admit that you are very strong! However, I will not lose to you!"

Ma Ming looked at Qi Zhuohao with a serious expression. His tone was filled with fighting spirit. Upon hearing this, Qi Zhuohao's expression remained the same. He said in a flat tone, "Senior Brother Ma, you flatter me. This bit of strength of mine is nothing. I'll give you a chance. I hope that Senior disciple Ma can fulfill his wish as usual!"

Everyone could tell that Qi Zhuohao was trying to strike Ma Ming down in a disguised way. He was depressed. All these genius disciples had a common problem. That was, they would chat with each other after they got on the stage, trying their best to dampen the morale of their opponents. In order to gain a greater advantage.

"Hehe! I have already experienced Junior Brother Qi's arrogance. In that case, Junior Brother Qi, please accept my attack!"

Ma Ming was so angry that he laughed. How could he not understand Qi Zhuohao's tone? Before his voice faded, he had already swung the machete in his hand towards Qi Zhuohao. Qi Zhuohao also used the curved blade. Both of them had a common hobby. It all depended on whose saber technique was stronger and whose overall strength was stronger.

"Ai! This Ma Ming is really unlucky. He actually met Qi Zhuohao. Otherwise, with his strength, he should be able to enter the top nine."

Below the arena, Meng Ziyan sighed with emotion. Yao Yuanqing immediately replied, "That's right. It's just that this Ma Ming is also an idiot. He knows that he is not Qi Zhuohao's match but still wants to be stronger. This is asking for trouble."

"Senior Yao, you better keep your voice down. Don't forget who Ma Ming's father is. This person is someone who hates evil as well as enmity!"

The discussions below the stage did not affect the battle on the stage. When Ma Ming was only three meters away from Qi Zhuohao, his speed suddenly increased. His body even left afterimages behind.

"So this Ma Ming is hiding something. He has also cultivated the Shapeless Step to the Great Perfection Stage! En! No, that's not the pure Shapeless Step. There is also the Qi of the Swift Wind Step and Meteor Step. He has actually integrated three movement techniques!"

Just now, he was looking down on Ma Ming. In the blink of an eye, Yao Yuanqing cried out in shock. The integration of the three Step Technique Martial Arts of the Thousand Searching Sect was not far from the threshold of the Swift Wind Flowing Shadow Step. It could be said that Ma Ming only lacked the footwork skill of Swift Wind Flowing Shadow Step.

Not only Yao Yuanqing, but almost all the disciples were shocked. Ma Ming had actually hidden his true strength. He had mastered the three movement techniques and had even completed the preliminary integration. This speed was something that even the three Deacon present couldn't compare with!

On the arena, Qi Zhuohao's facial expression changed dramatically. He was very close to Ma Ming. He could feel it the most, and he was even more shocked by Ma Ming's speed. He knew very well that Ma Ming's speed was much faster than his. There was no point in dodging anymore. He could only fight with ___ head on.

The martial skills Ma Ming used were all close combat skills, which were inclined towards the Blade Technique Martial Arts of Assassination. This kind of martial skill emphasized the use of flexibility. Once the opponent got close to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Qi Zhuohao did not dare to be neglectful. He waved the Extraordinary Machete, and the Spiritual Force in his body surged. He faced Ma Ming's attack head on. As soon as the two machetes collided, Qi Zhuohao did not move. Ma Ming was forced to take a few steps back by the force of the collision.

"Fortunately, although Ma Ming's speed is fast, his physical strength is very similar to the Spiritual Force. Otherwise, I would have to use my strength in this battle."

Qi Zhuohao sighed in his heart. Ma Ming had an impeccable speed. If Ma Ming was given a stronger physical strength and Spiritual Force, it would be very difficult for him to defeat Ma Ming. He might even be injured by Ma Ming. But now, it seemed like... His worries are unnecessary.

On the other side, a trace of shock flashed across Ma Ming's eyes. That casual strike of Qi Zhuohao actually contained such a terrifying force. Was this still a Third Level Spirit Receiving martial artist? Qi Zhuohao's strength was even stronger than a Ninth Level Spirit Receiving martial artist like him!

"Humph! Qi Zhuohao, so what if your strength is stronger than mine? With my absolute speed, I will definitely be able to severely injure you!"

Ma Ming calmed his emotions and did not waste any time. He once again flew towards Qi Zhuohao. This time, the scimitar in his hand was pointed at Qi Zhuohao's heart. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Qi Zhuohao. His speed was unimaginably fast!

Qi Zhuohao sneered. He unleashed the Spiritual Force, forcing Ma Ming to retreat once again. This Ma Ming was equally ruthless and decisive. He was a difficult opponent to deal with. He couldn't continue like this, or else he would fall into an absolute passive situation.

With his current state of mind, Qi Zhuohao didn't give Ma Ming any chance to continue his attack. He immediately unleashed the Shapeless Step and flew backwards. At the same time, he unleashed the Cloud Breaking Blade Technique. Three Spiritual Force blade lights shot towards Ma Ming.

Qi Zhuohao had already thought of a countermeasure. Ma Ming was a wind-attribute martial artist. He was good at speed, and he had also integrated the three Step Technique Martial Arts of the Thousand Searching Sect into his body. Moreover, the martial skills he practiced were all assassination type close combat skills. He could not fight with them in close combat.

The Blade Technique Martial Arts that Qi Zhuohao cultivated was the Cloud Breaking Blade Technique, and the Cloud Breaking Blade Technique was a long-range martial skill. Using the Spiritual Force Saber Light to attack his opponent was the exact opposite of the martial skills that Ma Ming cultivated. Once the Cloud Breaking Blade Technique was unleashed, Ma Ming would be unable to attack him at close range.

No matter how fast Ma Ming was, his physical defense was still very ordinary. Ma Ming would not let the Spiritual Force's blade light attack Qi Zhuohao without caring about his own safety. As long as he could seize the opportunity, Qi Zhuohao could defeat Ma Ming with a single strike.

Sure enough, once Qi Zhuohao used the Cloud Breaking Blade Technique, Ma Ming's face darkened. Ma Ming had witnessed Yang Fengzhe's outcome clearly. He had changed from being passive to being passive. He wasn't attacking, nor was he defending.

Ma Ming knew very well that these three Spiritual Force blade lights of Qi Zhuohao were very powerful. He wasn't good at strength and defense, so there was no way he could defend against them. He could only use his footwork to dodge, but even if he relied on speed... Die!

Ma Ming steeled his heart and charged at Qi Zhuohao without slowing down. On the contrary, he was even faster. Two Spiritual Force blade lights flew past him. The third Spiritual Force blade light slashed on his right shoulder, bringing with it a mist of blood.1

Following that, the scimitar in Ma Ming's hand ruthlessly hacked onto Qi Zhuohao's chest. However, there was not a trace of a smile on Ma Ming's face. Instead, it was a look of disbelief and fear.

There was no other reason. Ma Ming's machete only managed to leave a shallow wound on Qi Zhuohao's chest. There wasn't even a lot of blood flowing out. As for Qi Zhuohao's palm... * Hong Long...... *

Qi Zhuohao's Defensive Strength Body was not something that Ma Ming's weak basic blade technique could break. This was also the reason why Qi Zhuohao didn't dodge when he saw Ma Ming being injured by his Spiritual Force blade. Ma Ming didn't use any martial skills. Instead, he hoped that Ma Ming would attack him. This way, he could defeat Ma Ming with just one palm technique.

Qi Zhuohao's palm was wrapped by a fiery red Spiritual Force, and a terrifying power erupted from it. At such a close distance, and Qi Zhuohao's attack speed was much faster than Ma Ming's dodging speed. The Hot Flame Palm struck Ma Ming's right shoulder as expected.

Ma Ming was sent flying away. His right shoulder, which was bleeding, was hit by Qi Zhuohao's full force palm. His flesh and blood were burnt black, and his bones were almost crushed. After he fell to the ground, he had lost consciousness and passed out.

The square was filled with silence. It was the power of the Thousand Searching Sect's most powerful palm technique. It was fully displayed in Qi Zhuohao's palm. Most of the disciples felt a chill run down their spines. If it was them, they would definitely face the same fate as Ma Ming.

"What a freak! Qi Zhuohao didn't use Desolate Force and heartforce! If he had Desolate Force and heartforce, even a low grade Defensive Ground Weapon wouldn't be able to withstand it! Looks like I have to re-evaluate Qi Zhuohao's strength!"

In the corner, Su Muh whispered. All along, he had been afraid of Qi Zhuohao. But now, he could deeply feel the threat that Qi Zhuohao posed to him. He, Meng Ziyan, and Yao Yuanqing had defensive Soft Armor that could defend against Soft Armor. He was afraid that they wouldn't be able to defend against Qi Zhuohao's Hot Flame Palm.

Qi Zhuohao was simply a freak. It wasn't an exaggeration to call him a genius or a genius. The word 'genius' clearly didn't conform to Qi Zhuohao's status. This was what the disciples thought of Qi Zhuohao.

Glancing at Ma Ming who had passed out, Qi Zhuohao jumped off the stage. After this battle, he had gained a lot of combat experience. Sure enough, he needed to keep fighting to get it. It was a pity. If Ma Ming had not met him, he would have been able to walk a few more steps.

Qi Zhuohao was quite impressed by Ma Ming's speed. Up until now, he had only cultivated the Shapeless Step to the Large Success Stage. He hadn't even started cultivating the Meteor Step and Swift Wind Step yet. Of course... It wasn't that Qi Zhuohao didn't want to, it was that he didn't have any martial skill manuals.

Qi Zhuohao had a huge amount of contribution points, but he didn't have the time to go to the Heavenly Nether Peak to exchange for the things he wanted. This made him very helpless. When he went to the Heavenly Nether Peak during the finals, he would have to exchange his contribution points for martial skills!

The first round of the competition ended with Qi Zhuohao winning. The second round of the competition began. Everyone quickly erased the scene of Qi Zhuohao and Ma Ming's battle from their minds. They watched the battle between the two experts in the ring seriously.

After a few rounds of competition, Su Muh and Yao Yuanqing advanced to the top 18 as expected. Nan Yudia was not to be outdone either. She defeated her opponent with the Phantom Flying Thrust and successfully arrived in the group of Qi Zhuohao and Su Muh.

Time passed. Meng Ziyan, Qian Ling, Wu Xuechuan, Lei Yunhai and Jiao Tian all advanced to the top 18. The first round of the competition was announced to be over.

"Everyone, the fact that you are here proves that all of you are the true geniuses of Afterglow Peak. The next round of the competition will be even more intense and cruel. Now, please draw lots again. The rules are the same as the first round of the competition."

As Gao Wu's voice faded, Qi Zhuohao and the other 18 people drew lots again. This time, Qi Zhuohao drew the third and Nan Yudia drew the first. The two of them were still no match for each other.

Nan Yudia was the first one to step onto the stage. Her opponent was not anyone else. It was Shentu Yuan, the son of the Great Minister of Prefecture, Shentu Ling. Shentu Yuan and Nan Yudia had some conflicts. When enemies met, their eyes would turn red. Nan Yudia and Shentu Yuan looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with fury. Before the battle started, their eyes had already begun to exchange glances.
