“Hmm, it seems that Wang Qiming's growth during this time is indeed remarkable.”
Qin Chen's eyes lit up, and he looked quite pleased.
Wang Qiming was able to see through Zhou Xun's attacking strategy in such a short time and counter it. After that, no matter how the remaining attacks came, he was determined to regain his rhythm and not allow his opponent to unleash their attacks easily. His strength was no longer what it used to be.
“What? Zhou Xun's attack was actually countered?”
“That kid Wang Qiming is actually fighting back?”
“What is Zhou Xun doing? Is he warming up?”
Gasps of surprise erupted among the disciples of the Dawei Dynasty, and they were all quite speechless.
“Hmph, no wonder he talks so tough; he does have some skills, but unfortunately, he’s still far from enough.”
Facing Wang Qiming's attack, Zhou Xun was calm and collected, seemingly having anticipated his opponent's reaction. Before the opponent’s blade light arrived, he had already struck out again.
“Mountain River Palm—Control the Mountains and Rivers!”
Boom!
As this palm strike was unleashed, the entire arena was filled with a thunderous roar. Waves of palm shadows seemed like vast rivers and mountains surging forward, completely encircling Wang Qiming, like a giant python wrapping around its prey, continuously tightening its grip.
Crack!
Wang Qiming's blade light shattered, but Zhou Xun did not pause, continuing to unleash palm strikes one after another. With each palm strike, his momentum increased, and in an instant, the entire arena was filled with endless palm shadows, imposing and powerful.
He did not rush to defeat Wang Qiming but instead proceeded steadily, step by step, with a sinister smile on his lips, like a hunting python slowly constricting its prey until it suffocated, dragging the opponent into the depths of despair.
“Look, the Mountain River Palm has appeared.”
“Wang Qiming is finished. Once Zhou Xun fully unleashes the Mountain River Palm, its power will only grow stronger, gradually devouring his opponent with no hope of escape.”
The disciples of the Dawei Dynasty laughed, clearly familiar with Zhou Xun’s technique, nodding and commenting. However, Zhao Lingshan and the others wore worried expressions, their hands tightly clenched.
“That’s not necessarily true.” Hearing the discussions around him, Qin Chen sneered.
If Wang Qiming could be so easily defeated, then he wouldn’t be Wang Qiming.
Sure enough—
Buzz!
The next moment, an astonishing aura erupted from the enveloping cascade of Mountain River palm shadows, an intimidating presence emerged, as if a blade was cutting through the heavens and earth. A massive blade light phantom appeared on the arena, violently slashing down at the swirling palm shadows.
“It’s Blade Intent!”
Surprised exclamations arose from the crowd of martial artists.
Boom!
The enormous blade light phantom struck down, unstoppable, shattering the myriad palm shadows. Wang Qiming, who had just moments ago seemed trapped and on the verge of defeat, now held a black battle blade, exuding an overwhelming aura as he stepped forward, his gaze sharp as a heavenly blade.
“I didn’t expect you to comprehend Blade Intent.”
Zhou Xun’s pupils contracted, but there was no hint of panic on his face. Instead, his aura rapidly climbed again, and he struck out once more.
“Mountain River Fist—Mountain River Realm!”
Buzz!
As Zhou Xun struck, the arena was filled with swirling winds and clouds. A cascade of Mountain River phantoms began to appear, but this time, they were not merely woven from palm shadows; they actually emerged from thin air, creating a hazy illusion that almost disturbed one’s perception and vision.
“It’s the Mountain River Realm.”
“Zhou Xun has even mastered the Mountain River Realm; this is the highest realm of the Mountain River Fist.”
The back-and-forth battle left countless spectators astonished, their hearts racing with excitement.
On the arena, Wang Qiming, who had initially gained the upper hand with his Blade Intent, was once again enveloped by layers of the Mountain River Realm, as if he were about to sink completely.
