215: A strong showdown

Ye Kong looked around, only to see the soldiers below the arena carrying away the unconscious strong Cultivators one by one.

General Zhen Guo took the water bottle handed to him by his subordinate, took a big gulp, and glanced at the people in the square.

All the strong Cultivators had departed, and the entire square immediately became sparse.

As he expected, only a few noble families remained on the field.

They were all people who believed they could defeat Ye Kong.

Many noble families who left the arena were extremely frustrated; this year's competition had an additional figure named Ye Kong, who was almost unstoppable, causing them to not even receive the rewards for winning.

General Zhen Guo asked Ye Kong, "Ye Kong, you have already fought ninety-nine people consecutively, and including the two people who challenged you before, you have won against one hundred and one people. Do you need to rest?"

Ye Kong twisted his neck, shook his limbs, and felt that he was in good condition.

"No need, I'm just warming up!"

General Zhen Guo laughed aloud and said, "Ye Kong, I haven't seen such a powerful young man like you in many years. The Emperor's long-cherished wish to repel the foreign races might actually be realized in your generation!"

Ye Kong cupped his fists and said, "If I can win first place in the Grand Competition and become a General Who Suppresses Rebellion to conquer the foreign races, I will naturally do my utmost."

"Such bragging! You haven't even taken first place, yet you dare to claim the title of General!"

Ye Kong turned his head, and at this moment, a Cultivator wearing a blue wave-patterned robe appeared on the arena.

Ye Kong cupped his fists and bowed, saying, "May I ask, who are you?"

The Cultivator snorted and said, "I am Luoshui of the Sea Alliance Army!"

The royal family in the main hall heard this name and immediately became nervous.

Besides Wuji City, the land border of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race that borders foreign races, there is another water-bordering area called Haifang City.

The harbor outside the city is permanently stationed by the Human Race's strongest navy, the Sea Alliance Army, which has two peerless strong Cultivators who have reached the Deity Realm.

Haifang City nominally accepts the Emperor's leadership, but they claim not to belong to any of the Ten Kingdoms of the Human Race and are completely independent.

The Sea Alliance Army governs Haifang City; although they are an army, they have also formed a noble family system.

However, because their navy is strong but their land army is not, although the Sea Alliance Army wants to ascend to kingship and obtain the royal family's title, their strength is insufficient, and they are powerless to do so.

It is also for this reason that the Emperor has not pursued the question of their allegiance.

Ye Kong sized up Luoshui, nodded, and said, "I, Ye Kong, accept your challenge!"

"Then let's go straight to it!"

Luoshui didn't say a word and immediately started to fight!

Treading the Waves Forward!

Water vapor immediately appeared around Luoshui, drawing the water vapor in the air towards him.

"Sword, come!"

Luoshui lightly shouted, and a sword hilt immediately emerged from the water.

He gripped the hilt, drew the sword, and each step he took was like treading on water, with water droplets splashing, moving extremely fast.

A white light flashed on Ye Kong's fingertip, and he immediately took out his blood blade to engage him in battle.

Amidst the flashing blades and swords, water droplets splashed everywhere; each time they threatened to splash into Ye Kong's eyes, it was an excellent offensive opportunity for Luoshui.

The water would splash and obscure Ye Kong's vision, but Luoshui seemed unfazed, as if the water splashing on his face had no effect on him.

After repeated exchanges, Ye Kong was almost struck by Luoshui several times.

"Ye Kong, this is the secret 'Spring Breeze and Fine Rain' sword technique of my Sea Alliance Army. You won't be able to resist much longer!"

This Spring Breeze and Fine Rain sword technique didn't feel very strong at first.

But in a fight, it's like someone is splashing water on you while you're fighting, making it dizzying. If you relax even a little, you won't be able to see the incoming sword and will be struck by the opponent!

Ye Kong knew that only using physical techniques wouldn't work; it was time to use True Qi!

Ye Kong slashed down with his blood blade, the Asura Power attached to it, and a wave of Killing Intent spread out.

Luoshui was startled and quickly jumped away.

Ye Kong stared with wide eyes, releasing a wave of Killing Intent, leaping towards Luoshui like an Asura.

Luoshui moved his feet.

Towering Waves!

Luoshui held his sword, starting from his feet and raising it upwards, and a fierce torrent immediately shot towards Ye Kong!

Ye Kong remained unmoved, gripping his blood blade with both hands, splitting the water and cutting through the waves!

Seeing Ye Kong split open the torrent, Luoshui immediately thrust his sword, wanting to gain the initiative.

Ye Kong's eyes flashed red, and he released Killing Intent, causing Luoshui's body to pause.

This gave Ye Kong time to react; he flipped his wrist, raised his blood blade, and blocked Luoshui's thrust.

Luoshui was startled again in his heart; this Killing Intent could actually seize one's soul! How strange!

Luoshui's sword missed, and he immediately withdrew it, then backhanded with another sword strike.

Towering Waves!

Another surging torrent shot out!

Ye Kong paused his steps and held his sword horizontally in front of him.

Killing Intent Storm!

In an instant, endless Killing Intent enveloped Ye Kong, forming a tangible substance that spun rapidly!

The storm instantly shattered the torrent and surged towards Luoshui.

Long Ao watched from his seat, his heart tightening.

It was this move, the Killing Intent Storm!

He himself was defeated by this move of Ye Kong's; once Luoshui was caught in the Killing Intent Storm, no matter how great his abilities, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering would occur.

Luoshui was also well aware of the terrifying Killing Intent contained within the Killing Intent Storm; he quickly jumped up and retreated.

Treading the Waves and 潛行!

The power of the seawater surged, covering Luoshui!

The Killing Intent Storm advanced rapidly, sweeping the massive amount of seawater directly into the storm.

Long Ao slapped his thigh and thought, "The victory has been decided, Luoshui has lost!"

However, the Killing Intent Storm gradually rolled up and disintegrated this large amount of seawater, turning it into a waterspout, but there was no sign of Luoshui.

Ye Kong frowned and looked at another empty spot.

In this empty spot, a large amount of water vapor condensed, and with a 'cha' sound, a ball of water hit the ground, and a thoroughly soaked Luoshui appeared.

"Ye Kong, again!"

Luoshui had, at some unknown point, condensed a large ball of water in his hand. He suddenly threw the water into the air, where it burst open, forming a drizzling rain.

Ye Kong held his blood blade over his head, wary that the rainwater might be a trick.

However, there was nothing magical about the rainwater; instead, Luoshui pressed his sword close to his body and began to cast a spell.

Water and Sky as One!

Ye Kong blinked, and Luoshui disappeared from his original spot.

Ye Kong secretly thought something was amiss, turned 180 degrees, and directly slashed at the air.

However, nothing happened.

Could it be that he wasn't trying to circle around and ambush him?

Ye Kong looked left and right, but couldn't see any trace of Luoshui.

The drizzling rain even obscured Ye Kong's hearing.

"Sword, come!"

Ye Kong was startled and quickly turned around, only to see Luoshui's sword appear out of thin air and stab towards Ye Kong!

Ye Kong immediately drew his blood blade, deflecting the sword.

At the same time, a wave of Killing Intent surged forth.

The sword vibrated, fell to the ground, and turned into a puddle of water.

What's going on?

Could it be that Luoshui also knows the Sword Control Technique, manipulating a water sword to attack me?

Then where is his true body?

"Sword, come!"

Behind Ye Kong, a water sword was drawn out again, stabbing directly at Ye Kong.

Ye Kong steeled his heart, protected by Thunder Power, and slightly shifted his body, clamping the sword with his arm and waist.

Thunder God Extermination Art!

Terrifying Thunder Power immediately radiated from around Ye Kong, intending to destroy everything around him!

Luoshui's body immediately materialized behind Ye Kong; gripping the sword, Luoshui couldn't pull it out and was struck by the Thunder God Extermination Art, letting out a mournful cry!
