Seeming to know Zhang Hao was also a formidable opponent, Murong Fei didn't test him at all. He directly used his swordplay to engage the enemy.
Each sword strike carried sharp sword light, aiming directly for Zhang Hao's vital points. Zhang Hao also used his Transcendent level Luo Han Fist to counter.
Sanskrit chants echoed in the void, and a solemn Arhat with a dignified appearance sat cross-legged behind Zhang Hao, chanting scriptures and praying.
Both sides fought quickly, their speed reaching the extreme. Zhang Hao used Swallow Shadow Drift, yet he still didn't gain an advantage. He knew that the opponent's movement technique Martial Skill was definitely no lower in grade than his own; it should also be a Profound-tier Martial Skill.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged hundreds of moves, and the situation remained in a stalemate.
"Flying Cloud Swordplay!"
The sword in Murong Fei's hand erupted with terrifying sword energy, reaching the extreme of speed, like ethereal clouds. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Zhang Hao.
"Swallow Shadow Drift!"
Zhang Hao unleashed his movement technique to the extreme. Instantly, he created six phantoms.
Murong Fei's sword shadow annihilated five of the phantoms Zhang Hao had created almost instantly. However, Zhang Hao's movement technique also caused Murong Fei's movements to pause for a breath's time. It was this moment of pause that gave Zhang Hao time to adjust. But the sword light came too fast, reaching Zhang Hao in almost the blink of an eye. Zhang Hao barely managed to evade it, but the sword still grazed his shoulder, leaving him with a wound.
Seeing that his hidden killing move had no effect, Murong Fei paused slightly. This also gave Zhang Hao an opportunity; it was impolite not to return a favor. Zhang Hao flashed, appearing behind Murong Fei, and unleashed a punch, slamming it down.
This punch, like a falling boulder, smashed down towards Murong Fei.
Murong Fei didn't expect Zhang Hao's speed to be so fast, but he was indeed a genius of his generation. His reaction was extremely quick; he counterattacked with a sword strike, thrusting directly at Zhang Hao's fist.
"Boom!"
This punch was a strike Zhang Hao had built up power for, so Murong Fei naturally suffered a disadvantage.
"Congratulations Player Zhang Hao, your Luo Han Fist triggered a critical hit!"
"What!"
Murong Fei was greatly startled, feeling that Zhang Hao's punch had strangely doubled in power. It made the web of his hand go numb, and the sword in his hand almost flew out. If Murong Fei's cultivation wasn't still above Zhang Hao's, he would have suffered a great loss. Even so, Murong Fei was still forced back three or four steps.
Zhang Hao closed in like a shadow, unleashing his Luo Han Fist to the extreme, the attacks falling upon Murong Fei layer after layer, completely enveloping him within his fist intent.
Wave after wave of attacks caused Murong Fei to be continuously forced back, and the pressure grew greater and greater.
"Five Parts Sword Intent!"
Murong Fei erupted with powerful might, instantly annihilating Zhang Hao's attacks.
Flying Cloud Swordplay infused with Five Parts Sword Intent was even more powerful. The sharp sword light instantly shattered Zhang Hao's fist shadows and thrust straight towards him.
"Five Parts Sword Intent?"
Zhang Hao was greatly shocked.
Zhang Hao was already surprised when Murong Fei used Four Parts Sword Intent earlier. He didn't expect that Murong Fei had still been holding back; it turned out he had cultivated Five Parts Sword Intent.
Each part that Sword Intent grew stronger, its power was naturally incomparable.
Flying Cloud Swordplay infused with Five Parts Sword Intent increased its power several times over. Each sword strike carried extremely dominant power, easily shattering Zhang Hao's attacks.
If not for Zhang Hao's profound movement technique, which allowed him to evade Murong Fei's attacks at the last possible moment every time, Zhang Hao would have been defeated long ago.
"Brother Zhang Hao, do you still want to continue? Although your movement technique is fast, I am not weak either."
Murong Fei's voice came, carrying strong confidence.
"Brother Murong, it seems you are confident of victory?"
Zhang Hao smiled faintly and said, "Unfortunately, I have a temper; I won't shed tears until I see the coffin."
"Limitless Rampage!"
"Level Two Limitless Rampage was unleashed."
Instantly, after Zhang Hao used Limitless Rampage, the power of his entire body doubled. A powerful aura erupted from him.
Murong Fei was slightly taken aback, because he sensed that the aura on Zhang Hao had become even more dangerous.
"No... impossible, how could he suddenly increase his power so much? Did he use some secret technique?" Murong Fei's heart was shaken.
Murong Fei instantly felt Zhang Hao's power explode by four times. He was completely suppressed by Zhang Hao. Inch by inch, the sword shadows were shattered and dispersed under Zhang Hao's iron fists.
Murong Fei was suppressed by Zhang Hao once again, which made him extremely frustrated.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Murong Fei was instantly sent flying, having taken two punches to his body. The power of these two punches was immense, injuring him.
Wiping away the blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, a trace of determination and resolve appeared in Murong Fei's eyes. As the Crown Prince of Watt Country, he had his own dignity. Therefore, he absolutely would not allow himself to lose this Martial Arts Assembly. No matter what, he had to achieve victory this time.
"Zhang Hao, now I'm preparing to use all my means, you must be careful."
"Likewise, likewise, let's go all out!"
Zhang Hao became a little more vigilant. He naturally knew that with Murong Fei's ability, he wouldn't be defeated so easily.
"Let's decide the winner in one move!"
"Alright!"
"Tyrant Dragon Slash!"
An extremely dominant aura emanated from Murong Fei. His power was rapidly increasing. In an instant, it increased by more than three times compared to before.
A faint dragon roar vaguely came from Murong Fei's body.
Zhang Hao's heart tightened.
It seems this time, I can't hold back either.
"Pai Yun Palm's First Style, Flowing Water, Moving Clouds!"
The surrounding temperature dropped by tens of degrees, and an invisible cold energy spread outwards from Zhang Hao as the center.
"Be defeated for me!"
Murong Fei's sword momentum locked onto Zhang Hao, and he slashed down with a single sword strike. The sharp sword energy cut down with irresistible force.
"Go back!"
Pai Yun Palm transformed into layer upon layer of palm shadows, meeting the attack.
The two forces collided in the void, emitting a violent shockwave. Murong Fei felt an endless power of ice and cold penetrate his internal organs, causing his movements to involuntarily falter.
In comparison, although Zhang Hao was forced back seven steps, he was the first to recover. Without waiting for Murong Fei to react, he closed in again. The terrifying palm momentum condensed once more.
Although Murong Fei had already expelled all the cold poison from his body, he had now lost the initiative. He sighed and said, "I concede."
Zhang Hao was slightly startled upon hearing this, but he immediately withdrew his hand.
"The Crown Prince has yielded."
Murong Fei nodded slightly and said, "Zhang Hao, this Martial Arts Assembly, you have brought too many surprises to everyone present. This time, your victory is well-deserved."
Although everyone present was mentally prepared, Zhang Hao defeating the big favorite for the championship, Crown Prince Murong Fei, still shocked them.
One must know that half a year ago, this Zhang Hao was still a good-for-nothing whose cultivation had been crippled. How long has it been, and he has already made such a magnificent turnaround.
Du Tao looked at Zhang Hao and said reproachfully, "Brother Zhang Hao, you've hidden it from me quite thoroughly! So you were the one hiding the deepest."
Zhang Hao shook his head with a wry smile, offering no explanation.
After receiving the reward for first place this time, the Bone-Breaking Life-Continuing Paste, Zhang Hao was about to leave with Ning Xue when suddenly, a pleasant voice called out to him.
"Zhang Hao!"
Zhang Hao turned his head and saw that the one who called out to him was Yun Qiuyu, with Murong Fei standing beside her.
