Mystical Dominator of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 46

Like what Xu Yang said, Qi Hong suppressed Yang Lianting and the battle lasted for an hour. However, Yang Lianting did not show any traces of being defeated, and this made Qi Hong discouraged.

Although it seemed that he was the one suppressing Yang Lianting, he could feel his Mystical Power being gradually drained out. He could no longer maintain the initial rapid and aggressive offensive attacks he had been launching.

Qi Hong groaned and the long and diffused Fire Mystical Power shrank quickly. He used his hands to draw two semi-circles as he widened his eyes, and yelled, “Lava Crit Attack!” He clenched his fists and punched the floor.

‘It is an Earth-Upper Mystical Technique, Lava Crit Attack!’ Xu Yang was exhilarated. It was the first time he had seen an Earth-Rank Mystical Technique since he came to this era.

There was a fire snake slithering on the floor swiftly in one line toward Yang Lianting.

Xu Yang knew that the fire line was only an illusion, and the actual destructive power of the Lava Crit Attack came from underground.

Yang Lianting looked solemn. He could not evade the fire line as he was firmly targeted by Qi Hong. He could only receive it head-on.

‘It will be my victory if I am able to receive this attack successfully.’ Yang Lianting’s stern face suddenly became grim. There was rich blue Mystical Power coming out from his whole body and they formed a sky-high blue wave. “Water Screen!”

A blurry round blue screen covered Yang Lianting and the waves gently rippled.

“Boom!” The fire line extended to Yang Lianting’s feet. It burst under his feet with a loud noise and dark-red magma erupted from the ground. It rushed ten feet high before it slowly dissipated.

Be it the water wave or the magma, the attacks were transformed using both Water and Fire Mystical Powers. After all, it was a match about whose cultivation of Mystical Power was stronger.

The Lava Crit Attack brought an abundant amount of smoke and dust, engulfing the side of the ring in which Yang Lianting was on.

“Who will win this round?” Li Wang said subconsciously as he was also stunned by the battle between the Mystical Techniques.

The match between Mystical Masters was a hundred times more marvelous than that of Mystical Warriors. Not to mention the great power of Mystical Techniques, the ability for Mystical Masters to perform Mystical Transformations such as ferocious beasts, eagles, pythons, poisonous insects and all kinds of peculiar things made their matches more amazing than that of Mystical Warriors.

“Yang Lianting would be able to win if he were able to sustain the attack.” Xu Yang made his prediction when he saw the pale face of Qi Hong on the other side of the ring.

The smoke and dust dissipated. Yang Lianting in blue robes stood still while coughing.

Yang Lianting looked embarrassed but his face revealed a smile of victory. He said, “I won.”

“What? How were you able to sustain the attack!?” Qi Hong’s face was grim. “No! You can’t possibly win!” He exerted force beneath his feet and rushed toward Yang Lianting. He wanted to engage in melee combat with Yang Lianting.

When Mystical Masters had exhausted all of their Mystical Power, they could only fight physically.

Yang Lianting smiled sarcastically. “I’ve been defending all these while so that you will exhaust all your Mystical Power. You are truly naive, Young Master Qi.”

Yang Lianting extended his right palm and a strong wave formed by Water Mystical Power impacted Qi Hong’s fist heavily. After that, he extended his left palm and another wave gushed out. The wave was layered onto the power of the previous wave, creating even more power.

The second palm enveloped the power of the two waves of Mystical Power. He instantly dispelled Qi Hong’s attack, and then with a third hit of his palm, it struck Qi Hong’s chest with the addition of the two layers of the waves he previously launched.

“Zhang’s Three-Stack Waves.” Xu Yang recognized the technique. It was an Earth-Lower Mystical Technique. The amazing trick of stacking strength was suitable for Water-Extreme Mystical Cultivators who did not have strong attacking powers.

“Qi Hong!” Qi Liancheng at the north of the ring growled and leaped onto the ring as if he was an injured beast. He received Qi Hong’s body that was heavily knocked backward, protecting him from further injuries.

“Father… Cough. I haven’t been defeated. I…” Qi Hong was coughing and blood trickled from his mouth.

Li Feng in his green attire dashed onto the ring and said indifferently, “Qi Hong would have been able to continue the battle as he did not surrender. However, Master Qi, you have violated the rules as you came onto the ring. Therefore, Vast-Gate Dojo has been defeated this round.”

“Continue? How can he f*cking continue?” Qi Liancheng rarely cursed, he quickly handed Qi Hong to the other Vast-Gate Dojo members. His eyes widened in great anger, and he bellowed hoarsely, “C’mon! The third match. You bastards from Fire-Cloud Dojo, let’s duel to the death! ”

His aura in the Pinnacle Mystical Master stage burst with great vigor, and the air surrounding him seemed to be burning. Rings of fire were spreading successively in a ten feet range around Qi Liancheng’s feet, the heat that was exuded was scorching hot as if it was the nether world.

“This is… aura.” Xu Yang sighed. “Qi Liancheng is one step away from the Mystical Grandmaster stage. He would be able to advance into the Mystical Grandmaster stage and become a grandmaster specialized in a specific area after he has cultivated his own aura with a clear mind.”

“It’s hard to tell that you know so much.” Li Wang said, “I heard about the important point of advancing into a Mystical Grandmaster from my father. However, the step of having a clear mind has stopped many Mystical Cultivators from advancing. Master Qi has been in this stage for a few decades. I don’t know whether he would be able to advance into the next stage in this life of his.”

On the south side of the ring, Fire-Cloud Dojo’s master, Yang Muyun, looked horrified. He knew that Qi Liancheng was strong, but he did not expect the old guy to be so terrifying when he was livid.

“Fortunately, we have won two rounds because of my younger brother’s splendid plan. We don’t need to face this damn old man, haha!” Yang Muyun patted Yang Lianting, who had just come down from the ring, on the shoulder, and said happily.

Li Feng walked toward him and did a fist-and-palm salute. He said, “Master Yang, the third round is about to begin. Are you ready for it?”

Yang Muyun laughed loudly. “Leader Li, I’m not a dumbass. It is obvious that we have won. What is the point of having a third match? It would merely be sending our members to be Old Qi’s punching bag. Please inform them that Fire-Cloud Dojo is forfeiting the third round.”

A burly Mystical Master who was waiting at the side was relieved as soon as these words came out. “Thank you for your grace, Master.”

Yang Muyun laughed and said, “It’s fine. You don’t have to worry, Biao. You have to thank Lianting. If he did not set up the splendid plan and win Qi Hong, you will have to match with Qi Liancheng on the ring.”

“The Fire-Cloud Dojo has forfeited the third round which means that Vast-Gate Dojo wins the third round by default.” Li Feng said loudly while informing those who were at his side to sound the Gong. “The result of the duel is as such, Fire-Cloud Dojo with two wins one defeat, and Vast-Gate Dojo with one win two defeats. Victory goes to the Fire Cloud Dojo!”

With the announcement, Qi Hong, who had been suppressing his injuries, spewed a mouthful of blood, and fainted with the clamor of his people shouting ‘Young Master’.

Qi Liancheng was seething with great anger. All he could do was hand over all of their Ascetic Road routes, close the dojo and leave Lin Yuan City as per the duel agreement. The notary was the governor of Lin Yuan City. The governor would not hesitate to send someone to destroy Vast-Gate Dojo in order to maintain his prestige if he were to refuse to admit defeat.

Qi Liancheng’s legs were like lead. He knelt facing the sky and said, “My great ancestors, Liancheng is unfilial. I couldn’t preserve our family’s honor. It is all my fault…”

Several loyal subordinates of Vast-Gate Dojo rushed forward and pulled Qi Liancheng up to his feet. They consoled and comforted him while supporting him back to the dojo at the southern city.

The spectating crowd left as the amazing duel ended.

Xu Yang caressed Xu Yu’s head and said, “We have to go now since the duel is over.” He turned to Li Wang and excused himself.

“Are they your sisters? They are so adorable.” Li Wang chuckled. He took out two small jade stones, the size of one’s fingernail, and gave them to the girls. “These two diamonds are not of much value. I’ll give them to your sisters as a greeting gift.”

Xu Yang said placidly, “I dare not accept Little Official’s generous gift. Please be rest assured that I, Xu Yang, will surely honor my promises.”
