The definition of genius!

Li Tan's eyes were like torches, quickly observing the surroundings of the Yanwu Arena and judging Zhao Aotian's distance and direction from him.

The attack range of the long spear already exceeded his own by more than three times, while his advantage was speed!

"Blood Thorn Blade!"

The blade, shaped like fresh blood, was held tightly in Li Tan's hand, looking from afar like a devil's work of art.

Perhaps it's hard to imagine that a blade of such a design was actually of the fire attribute.

"My Spear!"

Zhao Aotian let out a soft cry, and a long spear shimmering with silver light was held majestically behind him.

Looking at Li Tan's puzzled gaze, Zhao Aotian didn't beat around the bush and spoke without reservation:

"This spear is the first spear in my life. I am inseparable from it; I am one with it!"

As these words fell, Zhao Aotian, holding the spear hilt, drew a graceful arc in the air, then pressed the spear tip heavily onto the ground.

Stones scattered from the spot hit by the long spear, but he didn't stop, holding the spear hilt at his side and charging directly towards Li Tan!

At such a distance with the long spear, Li Tan felt a surge of bitterness, but he was not afraid!

Upon entering the long spear's attack range, Zhao Aotian quickly assumed his stance, using his left foot as a pivot and his waist for power, swinging the heavy long spear fiercely!

"Horizontal Sweep!"

At this distance, he could only choose to confront him; there was no possibility of harming Zhao Aotian in the slightest.

"Chop!"

After a brief initial probe from both sides, Zhao Aotian was actually forced back three zhang.

This result, however, caused the audience below to disapprove, with many believing that Li Tan was definitely throwing the match and that Zhao Aotian was going easy.

Meanwhile, the two Elders above watched with solemn expressions, showing no intention of stopping the rumors.

"Si has excellent Knife Technique!"

Zhao Aotian let out a hearty laugh, and his entire Aura instantly reached its Peak; this battle was the confrontation he had longed for!

Li Tan, however, frowned. He had suppressed Zhao Aotian with the Nameless Sword Technique, and his cultivation was one level higher, yet he had only barely forced Zhao Aotian back three zhang.

"Si, behold this move!"

Zhao Aotian's figure spun, switching his attack to holding the spear with his left hand, and the long spear instantly shimmered with a silver glow, attacking again with an incomparable Aura!

"Block, Grab, Stab!"

The long spear held an absolute range advantage, striking like lightning towards Li Tan's shoulder from an extremely tricky angle!

In his haste, Li Tan could only use his blade for defense, flames rapidly spreading across the blade, their violent Aura making people's hearts palpitate!

"Slash!"

The two sides confronted each other again, still evenly matched. The cold glint of the spear tip constantly battled fiercely with the violent flames, each fusion of flame and long spear resembling a beautifully blooming spark.

As the two sides stalemated, Li Tan, gaining no advantage, stopped probing. The Blood Thorn Blade instantly burst into furious flames! He danced with a ghostly grace.

The incoming spear tip was almost upon him, but Li Tan met it with his blade, flames instantly soaring into the sky, as if to pierce the clouds and reach the azure heavens!

Under this fierce attack, Zhao Aotian stumbled, his body involuntarily tilting a few degrees.

This scene was firmly captured in Li Tan's eyes, and his killing intent surged!

"Good opportunity!"

He pressed his advantage, giving Zhao Aotian no chance to catch his breath!

The crimson Blood Thorn Blade, at this moment, reached its maximum speed! It instantly slashed towards Zhao Aotian's arm, carrying boundless, surging flames!

Blood splattered, and a mist of blood burst forth!

His left arm, numb from the pain, caused Zhao Aotian's face to darken. The edges of the wound even carried some flames, continuously burning his skin.

"The distance is too close, disadvantageous to me. I must find another location to regain the advantage!"

Zhao Aotian didn't hesitate, holding the long spear behind him, turning his head, and retreating! Without any sense of shame from being outmatched.

Watching Zhao Aotian scurry away in disarray, Li Tan only hesitated for a moment before charging forward with his blade!

"Having taken such a heavy blow from me, Zhao Aotian must not be feeling well, and perhaps even that arm is crippled."

"At this distance, it seems I can only use that move!"

Li Tan's lips curved into a cold smile, then his entire body shot up like a swift wind!

His speed was extreme! Even terrifying sonic booms continuously appeared beside him!

"Swift Wind Shadow!"

In no time, he had already reached behind Zhao Aotian! The Blood Thorn Blade was hot and vibrant, its violent flames proclaiming its dominance.

As Li Tan roared, the Blood Thorn Blade, imbued with boundless flames, roared once more!

"Break open for me!"

The scorching flames seemed to tear the sky, and at this moment, it truly unleashed its former domineering Aura!

Zhao Aotian was terrified! The terrifying flames, roaring like a beast, constantly reminded him of the approaching death!

He had never imagined Li Tan's speed would be so fast! He had underestimated him! Perhaps the ease of his previous two victories had made him complacent.

"I absolutely cannot dodge this attack! If that's the case, then let's fight!"

Li Tan was too powerful, making his heart palpitate! It made his flesh tremble and excite him uncontrollably!

In an instant, Zhao Aotian's Aura surged! His entire being was like an old general dominating the battlefield!

Blood soaked the earth, battle robes fluttered, heroic and unyielding, unmatched in display.

"My Spear's second form, Earth-Shattering!"

The entire Yanwu Arena instantly transformed into a bloody battlefield! Horses trampled, war drums roared, and the desolate land was filled with continuous beacons of war.

Battle flags fluttered, and golden spears and iron horses swept across the battlefield! Blood dyed the earth, and war songs resounded in the sky!

Witnessing the celestial phenomenon with his own eyes, Li Tan's heart could no longer be described as merely shocked, but the lingering power of his flaming blade remained undiminished!

"A Prodigy to be looked up to, beyond the common person's understanding, even crowned as the Son of Destiny!"

"I, Li Tan, am merely a small, insignificant person, but..."

Li Tan's eyes burned like rampant flames, as if all enemies obstructing him would turn to nothingness.

"My Knife Technique is not without its sharpness!"

Zhao Aotian turned to respond in haste, but it seemed a bit too late; the blade sliced across his back!

It was about to pierce his chest! But at the moment of extreme peril!

His long spear blocked the blade!

Blood splattered, and intense pain constantly stimulated Zhao Aotian, cold sweat on his forehead seemingly about to freeze.

However, a smile curved at the corner of his mouth.

"Si, have you ever heard the saying, 'Do not pursue a cornered foe?'"

As his words fell, the surrounding phenomena instantly became a battlefield filled with continuous beacons of war, and the military might was awe-inspiring!

The soldiers faced death as if going home, with soaring ambition! They shouted fearlessly:

"Fight to the very end!"

Zhao Aotian held his long spear! His eyes filled with eternal conviction! He roared heroically:

"Soldiers, charge with me!"

As his words fell, the scattered soldiers around the battlefield all rushed towards him!

"Charge!"

They transformed into dazzling golden streams of light, attaching themselves to Zhao Aotian's skin, forming a resplendent, sacred golden armor.

Zhao Aotian tightly gripped the spear hilt with his right hand, his eyes filled with majesty and unyielding spirit.

"Si, this spear, I wish to call it..."

"Rear Horse Spear!"

The powerful Aura was unstoppable, like the force of a thunderbolt, making it irresistible!

At this moment, Li Tan felt like a sinner being judged, appearing so minuscule beneath the long spear.

"But how can there be a saying of admitting defeat before the battle?"

No matter how bad things get, there will always be a glimmer of hope. Li Tan could lose in his heart, but he could not give up in despair.

He could die on his Dao, but he would never wait for death...

"Dragon Scale Defense!"

Ancient and profound scales tightly enveloped Li Tan's body, without elaborate adornment, yet giving off an Aura of unshakeable solidity....
