53: Chapter 53 The Final Victor

The finals would not start until the Si hour, leaving a full hour and a half; there was still plenty of time.

Chen Changqing first checked the Storage Pouch on his body, which was piled high with a large stack of Talisman and Magical Artifact and other items.

There was also a black box in the corner.

He took it out and opened it to reveal a pure black longsword, which he had bought at an auction in Qinghe Market a few years ago for nearly six hundred Spirit Stones.

Its texture was tough and its elasticity was extremely good.

It was forged from the first-grade supreme Ore, Black Forged Gold.

This Magical Artifact could be considered the best Magical Artifact besides the second-grade Magical Artifact in his hand.

After all preparations were completed, there was less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense before the finals.

At this moment, the surroundings of the arena were already packed with people, far more than the previous few days.

"Be careful," Li Qingling and the others said solemnly.

Chen Changqing nodded and stepped out of the private room step by step, arriving on the arena.

Han Lingjun on the opposite side had not appeared yet, but Chen Changqing was not anxious, directly closing his eyes to rest and preserve his energy.

Seeing Chen Changqing looking like this, quite a few people felt he was putting on airs.

Some directly and bluntly spoke of how shamelessly Chen Changqing suppressed his clansmen.

However, no matter what these people said, Chen Changqing did not care at all.

Time slipped away bit by bit amidst the curses of many people, and in the blink of an eye, the time it took to burn a stick of incense arrived.

Not far away, a dashing and spirited figure with clothes fluttering in the wind slowly appeared in the sight of Chen Changqing.

"You are called Chen Changqing, right!" Han Lingjun said calmly.

Chen Changqing nodded and did not reply.

There was disdain in the eyes of the opponent.

Reaching the finals through such means, would he still not lose in the end?

Since you insisted on choosing this method, this humble one will let you know what a true gap was!

When the competition time arrived, Han Lingjun gave a disdainful smile, and a cyan feather fan appeared in his hand.

With a gentle wave, a tornado was born from within the fan, sweeping towards Chen Changqing.

Seeing this formation, Chen Changqing immediately summoned the Black Slaying Sword and slashed down with a single sword, easily tearing the tornado apart.

Such a casual attitude made even Han Lingjun begin to take him seriously.

He was just testing the waters earlier, not expecting this person to actually have some tricks up his sleeve.

The gaze of Han Lingjun flashed, and the folding fan in his hand spread out again, waving fiercely a few times.

Several even larger tornadoes rose, heading straight for Chen Changqing.

This time, Chen Changqing could not be as calm and breezy as before; after all, he could not use too much of his true strength and trump cards.

Therefore, he drove the Black Slaying Sword to charge out, and once again pinched out several first-grade High Grade burst talisman in his hand, throwing them all into the tornado.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The power of the burst talisman reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining directly.

As Talismans not sold to the outside world, their quality was naturally different, and the price of a single one on the market could reach one hundred.

This single move used up a full five hundred Spirit Stones of his, but his heart did not ache.

He had plenty of such Talismans on hand, and if calculated at cost price, it actually only consumed one hundred Spirit Stones.

Resolving the opponent's attack at this cost could already be considered getting a bargain.

Seeing this, Han Lingjun flicked his hand and sent a set of flying knives attacking Chen Changqing.

Then, after his right hand fanned out several more tornadoes, he executed a Spell to attack forward, striking out with his left palm.

Three types of attacks hit Chen Changqing together.

Logically speaking, even someone at the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining would have to take such attacks seriously, so Chen Changqing indeed found it very difficult to cope.

Three golden light talismans horizontal in front of his body, the Black Slaying Sword and that set of Flying Swords became entangled.

Chen Changqing raised his finger and tapped lightly a few times, and several cyan lights instantly struck the tornadoes.

Then he stuck a light-body Talisman on his body.

Seeing Han Lingjun, who was already close at hand, he executed the Azure Wood Escape.

After escaping out of the attack range of Han Lingjun, he turned his head and threw a burst talisman from behind him.

Han Lingjun felt a chill behind his back and turned around to fan out a tornado to block it.

Both of them revealed surprise in their eyes, and then exchanged blows several more times.

"It seems everyone underestimated you."

"Rumors truly cannot be taken seriously."

"Your cultivation is probably not as simple as it appears on the surface, right?" Han Lingjun spoke for the first time since the fight started.

"Indeed."

"This humble one has also already cultivated to the Late Qi Refining Stage."

After Chen Changqing finished speaking, an aura of the Qi Condensation 7th Layer emanated from him.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator off the stage was astonished in his heart; from beginning to end, he had not discovered that Chen Changqing had concealed his aura.

"To be able to fight me to this extent, you are proud enough."

"Changing to someone else, not to mention peers of the same realm, even if their cultivation is one layer higher than mine, it would still be very difficult to persist in front of me for so long."

"You are the first."

Han Lingjun spoke fluently with a smile at the corner of his mouth, but the speed of his moves did not slow down at all.

Chen Changqing responded to them one by one, outwardly having to feign that he was struggling to cope with every single move of Han Lingjun.

Looking at the ugly expression of Chen Changqing, Han Lingjun was overjoyed in his heart.

Earlier, when Chen Changqing had matched him equally, he was actually anxious inside.

If he were fought to a draw or even defeated by a Cultivator one layer lower than himself, his previously self-proclaimed invincible words would probably bring countless mockeries.

The moment he thought of this, he desired even more to defeat Chen Changqing.

The mana inside his body surged crazily, and countless attacks fell towards Chen Changqing.

Seeing these attacks, the expression of Chen Changqing tightened.

The golden light talisman he threw out was also shattered in an instant, and then, caught off guard for a moment, he was hit by several of those Spells.

Puff!

Some wounds appeared on the body of Chen Changqing, and he himself spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, several members of the Chen family felt extremely anxious in their hearts.

Although they had great confidence in Chen Changqing, the combat power displayed by Han Lingjun on the opposite side had undoubtedly surpassed the Perfection of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.

At this point, it was hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Such a high-frequency battle between the two of them made all the Cultivators present sigh in admiration.

Could Qi Refining Cultivators really toss about like this?

Moreover, looking at it this way, the mana inside their bodies seemed like it could still hold out for a while longer.

However, fortunately, Han Lingjun was still a cut above, not only injuring the opponent, but the injuries suffered were also not light.

It seemed the victor of this match would soon be decided.

Han Lingjun continued to increase his attack intensity, but this time Chen Changqing would no longer give him a chance.

He threw a burst talisman far surpassing the previous ones to attack the opponent, raised his right hand with cyan light lingering at his fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, several more Azure Wood Fingers rushed out.

Swish, swish, swish!

This time it was the turn of Han Lingjun to have his body pierced through.

The situation of the battle between the two people instantly reversed, and in the blink of an eye, the others started worrying for Han Lingjun again.

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Changqing launched a blind, fierce assault.

Han Lingjun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, his white robe was stained red with blood, and the whole person looked even more miserable than Chen Changqing.

After all, he was not a Body Refining Cultivator, and his body resistance to this kind of attack was too low.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Changqing completely took the upper hand, fighting continuously like this until Han Lingjun lost the ability to fight.

After Han Lingjun fell out of the arena, at this moment, the gaze of everyone carried disbelief.

Even that Foundation Establishment Cultivator forgot to announce the winner.

"I did not expect the strength of this fellow to actually be so strong."

Dressed in black, Song Mingxue stood behind her elder, exclaiming inwardly.
