"Being able to spar with you is a great honor for me. Please, Eldest Young Master Qi, show mercy."
Qi Kong smiled lightly and replied, "You are too humble. Let's see what you've got."
The atmosphere grew tense as the crowd gathered around the battle platform, eager to witness the duel.
The young man in the blue robe straightened his posture, his eyes filled with determination. He focused his mind, drawing upon the power of the daoist realm, preparing to launch his attack.
Suddenly, he moved swiftly, unleashing a series of strikes infused with his sword aura, aimed directly at Qi Kong.
However, Qi Kong remained calm, effortlessly dodging the attacks. With a wave of his hand, he countered with his own sword technique, illuminating the arena with a brilliant glow.
The spectators gasped in awe, witnessing the clash of divine abilities as the two fighters exchanged blows.
Despite the intensity of the duel, Qi Kong maintained a composed demeanor, displaying his mastery and skill.
The blue-robed youth, though talented, quickly found himself at a disadvantage, struggling to keep up with Qi Kong's pace.
As the battle progressed, it became clear that the gap between their strengths was vast.
Finally, with a decisive strike, Qi Kong disarmed his opponent, sending the blue-robed youth's sword flying.
The young man fell to his knees, panting heavily, realizing his defeat.
Qi Kong extended a hand to help him up, saying, "You fought well. Keep practicing and you'll grow stronger."
With a grateful expression, the blue-robed youth accepted Qi Kong's offer, understanding the true meaning of a worthy opponent.
The crowd erupted in applause, acknowledging the prowess of both fighters.
In that moment, Qi Kong solidified his reputation as a formidable warrior in the daoist realm, while the blue-robed youth gained invaluable experience from the encounter.
Qi Kong maintained his posture with his left hand behind his back, wearing a smile as gentle as a spring breeze. "You're too polite, please."
"Buzz!"
The blue-robed youth unleashed a vast power of the five elements from within, and in the next moment, he transformed into a shadow that rapidly appeared above Qi Kong's head. As his wrist spun, streaks of sword aura stretching thousands of feet tore through the void, rushing towards Qi Kong!
"Thank you for your kindness." Facing such a terrifying scene, Qi Kong calmly uttered two words before disappearing from the blue-robed youth's line of sight.
"Such speed!" Just as the blue-robed youth was shocked, he felt a sharp pain in his back and spat out blood, tumbling down like a broken kite onto the battle platform.
At that moment, Qi Kong still stood with his left hand behind his back, emerging from the void.
"Poof!"
The blue-robed youth spat out blood and stood up from the platform, looking up at Qi Kong and saying, "Thank you for your mercy, Eldest Young Master Qi. I admit I lost wholeheartedly."
After leaving those words, the blue-robed youth leaped down from the second battle platform.
At this moment, a chorus of cheers erupted from the crowd, with many women viewing Qi Kong as their ideal prince charming.
On the Heavenly Battle Platform, Kong Xing, who was at the eighth layer of the daoist realm, flipped his right hand and summoned a divine sword with Wind and Thunder attributes. He looked at Tan Yun and said, "Brother Xiao, you're only at the first layer of the ancestral sage realm, so you should make the first move!"
At this moment, most of the spectators turned their attention to Tan Yun on the Heavenly Battle Platform.
After all, Tan Yun's performance in the tower was truly astonishing.
Despite everyone, except for Miao Qingqing, Yu Yunxi, and Dao Qing Grandmaster, believing that Tan Yun was not a match for Kong Xing, they were still filled with anticipation for him.
Perhaps this is the psychology of the audience.
From the viewers' perspective, most people still wanted to witness a battle where someone of a lower realm could defy the odds and defeat their opponent, right?
