Chapter 612 Unexpected Gains
Shebi Shi, on the other hand, was dressed in a tight-fitting purple-black outfit, and his purple-black aura was like rolling dark clouds, both heavy and oppressive.
His figure was steady, his steps firm, and every swing of his weapon seemed to draw upon the power of heaven and earth.
The purplish-black aura condensed around him into sharp sword energies that constantly changed with his movements, making them unpredictable to his opponents.
Both of them passed this hurdle with ease.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, a woman dressed in silver armor, holding a Nine Phoenix Facing the Sun Blade and carrying a Phoenix Beak Pear Blossom Spear slung across her back, stood heroically in the center of the arena.
Her face was delicate and pretty, with a heroic air about her. White and yellow aura surrounded her, like the first ray of sunlight in the morning.
Fan Lihua's appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding audience.
However, when she introduced herself as a female warrior from the Dayong Dynasty, some spectators below the stage immediately cast hostile glances at her.
As two neighboring dynasties, the Daqian Dynasty and the Dayong Dynasty have had quite a few sordid conflicts over the past few hundred years.
This was especially true for the people of Hengzhou, since Yunzhou alone could not withstand the invasion of the entire Dayong Dynasty.
Therefore, throughout history, many young men from Hengzhou have died in battle at the hands of the people of the Dayong Dynasty.
"Hmph, a woman dares to participate in a martial arts tournament of this level?"
"Exactly, does she think this is an embroidery workshop? How ridiculous!"
Faced with the ridicule and doubts of the crowd, Fan Lihua only glanced at them slightly.
She doesn't care about other people's opinions. True strength is never proven with words, but demonstrated with actions.
With a crisp gong sound, the competition officially began.
Fan Lihua's opponent was a burly and menacing male martial artist.
"Haha, a woman from the Great Yong Dynasty dares to participate in the martial arts tournament? She's truly overestimating herself!"
"A burly opponent said with a sneer."
"Yes, you should go back to embroidery. This isn't a place for women like you!"
Another opponent chimed in, his face full of contempt.
Having said that, he grabbed his spear, leaped up, and thrust it at Fan Lihua.
However, Fan Lihua simply dodged his attack with a light flick.
"Hmph, you've got a quick reaction, woman!"
The male warrior sneered and launched another attack.
However, this time, Fan Lihua did not dodge.
She suddenly swung the Nine Phoenix Rising Sun Blade in her hand, and a white-yellow aura surged out instantly, colliding with his spear and producing a deafening sound.
At that moment, the martial artist felt a powerful force surge towards him, and the spear in his hand was shaken out of his grasp.
"What?!"
He exclaimed in surprise, his face changing drastically.
Fan Lihua, however, did not give him a chance to catch his breath.
She flashed forward and appeared in front of the martial artist. With a sudden swing of her Nine Phoenix Rising Sun Blade, a sharp blade of energy was unleashed, forcing the martial artist to retreat repeatedly.
At this moment, Fan Lihua on the arena moved with a light and graceful figure, like a phoenix dancing gracefully. The Nine Phoenix Facing the Sun Blade danced in her hands, bringing with it gusts of sharp blade wind.
Her aura was like white and yellow ribbons, constantly changing with her movements, both graceful and powerful.
Her many opponents were clearly unprepared for Fan Lihua's formidable strength, and for a time they were caught off guard by her offensive.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fan Lihua launched a fierce attack. Her Nine Phoenix Facing the Sun Blade struck her opponent like lightning, one strike after another, leaving no room for error.
"You...how can you be so strong!"
The opponent cried out in terror, trying to resist Fan Lihua's attack, but found that his defense was as thin as paper and was easily torn apart.
In the audience, those who had been mocking Fan Lihua fell silent.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly delicate woman possesses such astonishing strength.
Fan Lihua, who easily defeated many opponents, simply smiled faintly, turned around, and walked off the stage.
On another arena, the scene was equally breathtaking, with a giant, as imposing as a mountain, standing proudly.
This man was eighteen feet five inches tall, like a god who had stepped out of an ancient legend, exuding a formidable aura.
Its massive body, illuminated by the sunlight, resembled a moving mountain; every step it took seemed capable of shaking the heavens and earth.
His appearance seemed to freeze the air itself; the surrounding crowd held their breath, their eyes drawn to this giant.
He holds a Yu King's Divine Spear, which is no ordinary weapon. It is said to be a divine weapon made by Yu King, specifically for opening up mountains and controlling floods, and for deterring evil spirits.
The spear was a long staff made of solid iron, with an iron hand cleverly cast at the front end. The hand had five distinct fingers, two of which were extended forward, as if trying to grasp the invisible power between heaven and earth.
Within the iron palm, a double-pointed pen was tightly gripped, exuding an indescribable mystery and majesty.
Within the iron palm, a double-pointed pen was tightly gripped, exuding an indescribable mystery and majesty.
This Yu the Great Spear, with its unique four-part horizontal finger, palm, and fist technique, symbolizes the supreme authority to rule the heavens and earth and weigh all things. Every swing seems to stir up the wind and clouds and rewrite the universe.
The giant stood in the center of the arena, surrounded by a faint white aura, pure and profound, like the thin mist of early winter morning or the sea of clouds swirling in the mountains.
With each movement, his inner energy flowed, as if merging with his will. Sometimes it solidified like a tangible substance, and sometimes it drifted away like wisps of smoke, changing in countless ways that were truly breathtaking.
With a deep roar, he swung his enormous hand, wielding the Yu King's Divine Spear. The iron hand seemed to come alive, sweeping towards his opponent with overwhelming force.
The qi surged forth, transforming into white waves that tore through the surrounding air, creating a series of booming sounds.
Although his opponent was also brave, under the giant's unstoppable attack, he felt an irresistible force surge towards him and was instantly blasted away, falling off the stage, which drew gasps from the audience.
"Hmm? Is this... an unexpected bonus?"
At this moment, at the very top of the entire martial arts tournament was an extremely luxurious and prestigious high platform.
The platform is made of white marble and inlaid with glittering gold trim. Each piece of jade is carefully carved and smooth as a mirror, reflecting the bustling scene below, yet it also has its own extraordinary and refined atmosphere.
Around the high platform, light gauze danced and swayed gently in the wind, both shielding it from the noise of the outside world and maintaining a sense of openness, as if isolating this world into a tranquil space exclusively for the Venerable One.
On the high platform, there are tables and chairs made of precious rosewood, each carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike in appearance.
The table was covered with a delicate silk tablecloth, upon which were placed various exquisite tea sets. The aroma of tea wafted through the air, mingling with the occasional fragrance of flowers wafting from the surroundings.
In the very center of this high platform sat a man dressed in magnificent robes, none other than Su Ye, who was now the Duke of Zhenguo.
