The Law Sovereign's fist slightly loosened and stretched a bit, causing the white mark to regain its blood color and slowly clench again.
"Is he injured?" Wu Qianqian looked at the white mark on the Law Sovereign's fist and asked softly.
"No!" Chu Yang fixed his gaze and said, "But it will definitely hurt; therefore, I estimate that he will not be fighting unarmed anymore! This time, the trial was the Law Sovereign overestimating himself."
"Oh, it wasn't overestimating; it was Bu Liqing succeeding." Chu Yang hurriedly corrected.
Sister Zi cast a look of approval.
"Bu Liqing succeeded?" Wu Qianqian looked a bit confused.
"Bu Liqing told that story, firstly to explain the reasons, secondly to take revenge for a friend; and thirdly, it served to tell the Law Sovereign: I know your secrets! I know your foundation!"
Chu Yang said: "The Law Sovereign has deceived the mortal realm for thirteen thousand years with this identity; when suddenly exposed, he would naturally feel a bit guilty; hence, Bu Liqing's psychological warfare succeeded, suddenly unleashing a domineering sword strike while the Law Sovereign's mind was in turmoil; it appeared to be evenly matched, but the Law Sovereign would certainly feel uncomfortable because Bu Liqing had already grasped the rhythm of the battle."
"Rhythm, while it cannot directly influence the outcome, as long as Bu Liqing can continue to press forward, he can gradually shift to an advantage, and that advantage could lead to a winning momentum, which then dictates victory or defeat, and that, in turn, determines life or death!"
Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, his expression solemn: "In a battle between masters, really, not a single word or tone can be overlooked. You never know which aspect might touch their mindset and determine the outcome."
Sister Zi said with a smile, "But the Law Sovereign will definitely not allow Bu Liqing to take advantage so easily; the next step, he will surely fight back, and he will definitely even the score."
Chu Yang nodded in agreement. How could the Law Sovereign allow himself to suffer such a loss? He would certainly retaliate!
Wu Qianqian nodded slightly. The two of them unconsciously squinted their eyes, each recalling the punch and sword strike from just now.
At that moment...
In the center of the battle between the Law Sovereign and Bu Liqing, where the sword light and fist clashed, there was an eerie silence!
Then, suddenly, a sound that made one’s teeth ache echoed, and the entire space began to break apart at a visibly rapid pace, with fine cracks starting to bend and twist outwards from the center!
At first, the cracks were as thin as a hair, but they became increasingly clear and thicker, stretching out for three hundred miles. What initially was a hair-thin crack transformed into a gigantic black hole, as if it could swallow the heavens and earth!
Three hundred miles of space shattered!
Immediately, the forces of nature from all directions converged and, in an instant, filled this space back to its former state.
Then, a loud explosion erupted! From the ground, a massive mushroom cloud rose dramatically; on the ground, hundreds of miles of trees snapped in unison, with the upper halves of their trunks, along with the crowns, soaring into the sky like ripe dandelions!
Chu Yang and Wu Qianqian both sighed in unison. They instantly realized that the rumors from the martial arts world were utterly absurd: the tales that one could benefit for a lifetime just by watching a battle were simply nonsense!
The so-called observation could never be too far. In battles at this level, let alone spectators, even standing within three hundred miles would leave nothing behind, and being two to three miles away meant seeing nothing at all... benefit my foot?!
If it weren't for Sister Zi shielding them with her powerful cultivation, Chu Yang estimated that he and Wu Qianqian would have been utterly crushed, completely intertwined...
A massive pit appeared on the ground. Its depth was unknown! The most outrageous part was that, in an instant, a spring water surged up from the bottom of the pit, shooting high into the air.
