"Clang, clang, clang…"
On the stage, Sun Hui surrounded Chu Ming, constantly shifting his position. His body seemed heavy, but his footsteps were light and agile, like a fish in water. Every strike of the giant axe was as heavy as a mountain, and it continued to strike at Chu Ming.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Chu Ming wasn't afraid, either. He moved within three meters of the axe, retracting his sword every time it made contact with the axe. Although Chu Ming would leave shallow footprints on the hard ground of the ring with every clash, the fighting spirit in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
"This Sun Hui really has some ability. His axe skill is like the waves of the sea. With each axe, the power is getting stronger and stronger. If it wasn't for the fact that I advanced three levels in a row, I might not have been able to deal with it. I want to see how long this fierce attack can last!”Chu Ming used both his arms to wield the sword, and the strength in his hands gradually increased.
"The sixteenth chop! The impact of this axe was at least tens of thousands of pounds. If it was an ordinary warrior in the early stage of the Hou Tian Realm, he would have been killed by the impact.”
Chu Ming turned his sword and blocked another attack. The terrifying force was transmitted to his arms through the sword, easily passing through his bones, tendons, and muscles to his feet. It didn't hurt Chu Ming at all.
"Seventeenth chop!" Chu Ming silently counted the other party's moves.
"Peng!"
Sun Hui held the axe with both hands and hacked down wildly. He brought along the remaining power of the first sixteen axes as he whistled towards Chu Ming. The axe blade even caused the surrounding air to tremble and explode, distorting the scene of the battle.
"Clang!"
Facing Sun Hui's fierce attack, Chu Ming was unfazed. He shook his arms and used the same simple Extreme Sword. The sword was ordinary and plain, but the moment it collided with Sun Hui's giant axe, the entire sword instantly produced a terrifying vibration force. It was like a terrifying vortex that could not be seen in the darkness. It swept up Sun Hui's giant axe and changed his opponent's attack.
"Haha, this is great, this is great!"
In the next moment, Sun Hui suddenly retreated a few feet away. His eyes were slightly red from excitement as he laughed loudly." Very few people in the younger generation can withstand my seventeen strikes in one go. Even an ordinary Houtian advanced stage warrior would find it hard to do so casually. Impressive, impressive, hahaha..."
"You flatter me. You're not bad either!" Chu Ming said lightly. This was his personality. If someone showed him respect, he would return the favor. Since the other party was kind to him, he naturally wouldn't deliberately say bad things to him.
"Hehe, I'm not afraid to tell Brother Feng the truth.”Sun Hui grinned and said," This set of axe skill of mine has a total of eighteen moves. However, the power of the last eighteen moves is too great. I haven't been able to control it freely yet, so you have to be careful from now on!"”
"Just come!" Chu Ming stood with his sword in hand, neither happy nor sad.
"Alright, if you can take my last move, I'll automatically admit defeat!”
After saying that, Sun Hui took a deep breath, and a green halo appeared on his face. At the same time, the blade of the giant black axe actually emitted strands of energy, shooting into the ground of the arena, leaving cracks on the ground. Obviously, just as he said, he could no longer perfectly control the energy of this move.
"Broken Sea Stance!"
Sun Hui growled.
"Rumble ~~"
The giant black axe slashed at Chu Ming with a roar that sounded like the roaring of endless waves.
Waves of inner strength vibrated, creating a terrifying tsunami sound. The giant axe in Sun Hui's hand seemed to have turned into a tidal wave that swallowed Chu Ming. The waves contained a shocking killing intent.
The axe had yet to arrive, but its aura was already enough to make people tremble in fear.
"What a powerful axe. It's completely different from the previous seventeen attacks!”Chu Ming was shocked. Such a domineering move could no longer be blocked by the conventional Wind and Cloud Sword Technique. He had to use his martial arts skills.
" Warrior Skill-Heavy Strike!"
With a shout, Chu Ming grabbed the sword with one hand and swung it around. The sharp blade drew a semicircle in the air and then collided with Sun Hui's axe.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew in all directions. When the blade of the axe came into contact with the blade, Chu Ming felt his entire body tremble. It was as if he had been swallowed by an angry wave. The strange and terrifying force made Chu Ming so upset that he wanted to vomit blood. He almost dropped the sword in his hand. What was even more terrifying was that Sun Hui's attack wasn't offset by Chu Ming's sword. The black axe, with its earth-shattering power, suppressed the iron sword and slashed down at Chu Ming's neck.
"Ha!"
In a flash, Chu Ming activated his dantian and shouted. This shout was like a thunderclap, and it was also like a loud bell. It was Chu Ming's first time using the ultimate skill," Shout."
In an instant, Sun Hui's momentum suddenly stagnated, and the attack in his hand involuntarily slowed down. Chu Ming couldn't miss such a great opportunity. He tightened his arms and unleashed all his strength."Open it!"
Whoosh!
A force of more than ten thousand pounds swept out. Sun Hui, who had suffered a setback in his attack, could no longer control the huge axe in his hand. The huge axe directly left his hand and was thrown high into the air. Then, it ruthlessly smashed onto the stone of the arena. The entire arena shook violently as if it had been smashed onto the arena by a meteorite from outer space.
Boom!
The rocks on the stage had completely cracked open. The cracks were so ferocious that shattered stone powder flowed out.
" How, how is this possible…" Sun Hui's right hand trembled slightly as he looked at the black axe in the crater in disbelief. He could not believe all of this.
It wasn't just Sun Hui. Many of the spectators were also surprised. Most of them only saw Sun Hui's attack suddenly stop, and then the axe in his hand was inexplicably shaken off by Chu Ming. As for the mystery behind it, they didn't know.
" Good, not only is this Sonic Kill unexpected, but it's also used at the right time. I originally thought that this kid might be defeated by Na Sun Hui, but I didn't expect him to have such a move. Not bad, not bad…" On the high platform, Yan Ju said with a face full of admiration. With his strength as a Xiantian master, he could naturally see everything on the stage.
"You're wrong!"
The Tianwu Marquis beside him shook his head and said,""Even if he didn't have this move, he wouldn't have lost. This little guy isn't as simple as you think. As I expected, his true strength shouldn't be any weaker than Marquis Braveheart's youngest son.”
"Hmm?"
Yan Ju and General Luo were both shocked. They had not expected the Heavenly Martial Marquis to have such a high opinion of Chu Ming. After all, the youngest son of the Marquis of Bravery, Luo Yuntian, was the most likely candidate to be the champion of this year's martial arts competition. Marquis Tianwu's words implied that Chu Ming also had the ability to win the championship. However, was it possible for a martial artist who was at most at the mid-stage of the Houtian Realm to win the championship? If it weren't for the prestige of the Tianwu Marquis, the two of them would have questioned him on the spot.
Looking at the doubtful looks of the two, the Tianwu Marquis did not explain and smiled faintly."You'll know when you watch."
……
"Phew, you're still better. I lost!”On the stage, Sun Hui smiled bitterly at Chu Ming.
"You're not bad either. If it weren't for me, you should have the strength to enter the semifinals!”Chu Ming said seriously. Although Sun Hui's cultivation was only at Houtian third stage, his true combat strength far exceeded his cultivation. If Chu Ming had not advanced three levels in a row not long ago, it would have taken a lot of effort to defeat him. Even so, Chu Ming had used about 70% of his strength in this battle. In Chu Ming's opinion, among all the top 16 contestants, the only ones who could defeat Sun Hui were probably the first and second ring masters. Even the third ring master of Houtian sixth stage had a 50 - 50 chance of defeating him.
Sun Hui grinned." Haha, Brother Feng, you don't have to comfort me. I know my own strength. Moreover, I've gained a lot from this battle with Brother Feng. I only hope that I'll have the chance to exchange blows with Brother Feng in the future!”After saying that, Sun Hui turned around and jumped off the stage.
"This is a man with a true personality.”Looking at Sun Hui's agile figure, Chu Ming secretly nodded. A straightforward person was always easier to win the favor of others. Chu Ming also admired people like this. At least, he never had any intention of killing Sun Hui.
"First round of the championship challenge, Chu Ming wins!”
Following Sun Hui's departure from the stage, the head examiner Yan Ju's voice rang out.
Chu Ming strode back to his seat in the resting area while the audience was discussing.
"For the second round of the championship, the two players who have drawn the number two, please come on stage!”
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
At the same time, two figures leaped onto the arena.
These two people were the previous Ring Masters No. 10 and No. 13. Both of them were at Houtian Realm Level Four. They were considered to be relatively rare young geniuses. However, with Chu Ming and Sun Hui's "Pearl and Jade Ahead", the battle between the two seemed a little ordinary and boring. Chu Ming didn't even look at the stage. He just leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. In his eyes, there were only two candidates who could be his opponents. They were the first arena master of Houtian Realm Level Eight, Luo Yuntian, and the second arena master of Houtian Realm Level Seven, Wu Yicheng. These two were Houtian late stage experts. As for the others, they were not worthy of his attention.
Just like that, while Chu Ming waited in boredom, the first round of the championship slowly came to an end. Throughout the entire process, Chu Ming only opened his eyes twice. The first time was when the first arena master, Luo Yuntian, went up on stage, and the second time was when the second arena master, Wu Yicheng, went up on stage. Unfortunately, the opponents of these two were too weak. One directly admitted defeat, and the other only lasted for less than three rounds before being defeated. This made Chu Ming's idea of seeing the actual strength of these two people fall through…
