Nangong Linjue was also looking at Su Mo, his eyes full of perceptible killing desires.
When their eyes met, it was as if there were soundless explosions in the air.
Su Mo sneered and instantly turned to the fighting ring.
Nangong Linjue’s deep breath heaved his chest, and then he slowly calmed down.
“Su Mo must die, I’ll let him bleed to death on the spot.”
After a good while, the Deacon who hosted the competition came to his senses and rose to announce the result.
“Su Mo wins! The next match, Mei Ling vs. Wu Meng!”
Yi Xiaoguang’s body was carried down from the ring. Mei Ling and Wu Meng went up to the ring.
The disciples recovered from their shock and they marveled at Su Mo’s strength.
They were anticipating the duels of Su Mo against Nangong Linjue and Li Jiandong. They wondered what the situation would be like when Su Mo fought with these experts from the Sky Alliance.
“Elder Wei, I’m afraid if this goes on, things will go out of hand.” On the Spectator Stand, the First Elder looked at Elder Wei, who was next to him, and added, “Su Mo’s going to be killed anyway.”
In the eyes of the First Elder, Su Mo was no match for Nangong Linjue, Duan Bingye and the like.
If Su Mo happened to kill Nangong Linjue and others by luck, it would spell more trouble.
It would be a huge loss for Gale Island then.
Besides, Duan Jingtian would not let Su Mo leave alive.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll handle it,” Elder Wei flatly said with an expressionless look.
“You’d better arrange for Su Mo to duel with Nangong Linjue toward the end of the competition,” Elder Wei added.
The First Elder’s eyes lit up upon hearing what Elder Wei said. Elder Wei was placing great expectations on Su Mo.
“Does Elder Wei believe Su Mo can defeat Li Jiandong and Duan Bingye?”
The First Elder already knew that Elder Wei had wanted to help Su Mo.
Shortly after, the First Elder sighed and reluctantly nodded.
He was not sure of Elder Wei’s intentions, but he would not concern himself with it since Elder Wei had made his point clear.
Boom!
While they were talking, the killing atmosphere had already surged in the fighting ring.
Wu Meng was extremely powerful. He brandished his spear, causing spear rays to penetrate through the air, and relentlessly attacked Mei Ling.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Mei Ling brandished her long sword and continuously fought with Wu Meng.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Within tens of strikes, the two were on par and there was no clear winner.
Eventually Wu Meng spotted a weak point in Mei Ling and swept her off the fighting ring with a strike.
Next, it was the duel between Duan Bingye and Li Jiandong.
However, Li Jiandong simply admitted defeat.
Both Duan Bingye and Li Jiandong were Disciples of the Sky Alliance and usually exchanged blows against each other. It made no sense to compete since Li Jiandong had always failed to win.
The competition continued.
The rules of the Tournament appeared complex but were actually simple. They had to fight against the other nine rivals, and the ranking would depend on the points that they had won.
But as Yi Xiaoguang was dead, the ones who did not duel with him would only confront the other eight opponents.
For the next duel, Nangong Linjue’s opponent was again Wu Meng.
Nangong Linjue surprised the crowd again with his strength.
The moment he went to the ring, Nangong Linjue immediately defeated Wu Meng with one strike.
One after another, the bouts ended.
Su Mo was now facing his third rival, Fei Kuang.
Su Mo and Fei Kuang went up to the ring.
“Su Mo, let’s go all out!” Fei Kuang’s body shone with genuine Qi, and his imposing manner surged and created a turbulence in the air.
“OK!” Su Mo nodded.
Fei Kuang at once strode toward Su Mo like a giant beast and threw a punch at him.
Fei Kuang had strong human body. His cultivation was at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm. The punch that he threw out was formidable as if a meteorolite had fallen to the ground.
“Tiger Roaring and Dragon Crying!”
Surprisingly, Su Mo did not draw his sword. He clenched his right fist and punched at Fei Kuang. Su Mo’s fist radiance was extremely astounding.
Boom!
The deafening crash of their punches forced both Su Mo and Fei Kuang to simultaneously step back.
The difference was, however, that Su Mo only stepped back two steps, while Fei Kuang stepped back a good 10 steps.
Fei Kuang was shocked that Su Mo could take his punch. Even a martial artist at Lv 7 Spiritual Martial Realm could not withstand the force of his punch.
One punch from Su Mo could make him draw back.
Su Mo was also surprised at Fei Kuang’s strength. Although his Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist was only approaching the Minor Completion, it was powerful.
For the punch just now, he had activated 80% of his human body strength as well as four Spiritual Spirals.
Any average martial artist at the Peak Lv 6 Spiritual Martial Realm would surely be smashed into pieces by that punch.
“Su Mo, you’ve great strength!” Fei Kuang took a deep breath. He said with a grim look, “My strongest punch is coming. If you can take that, I’ll admit defeat.”
“After you!” Su Mo nodded.
Fei Kuang clenched his fists and transferred all his scalding genuine Qi into his right fist.
His muscles bulged, and his arms and thighs suddenly grew, letting out terrifying sounds.
In a twinkle, Fei Kuang became more robust, as if he were a colossus.
In the next moment, Fei Kuang tried to leap at Su Mo and smashed his huge fist down.
“Vajra Mighty Fist!”
This punch by Fei Kuang was terribly astonishing. Encircled by brilliant genuine Qi, his fist was as big as a millstone, which appeared invincible.
Su Mo dared not underestimate Fei Kuang’s punch and activated four Spiritual Spirals. Golden light suddenly emitted from his body and endless genuine Qi rapidly flowed in his meridians.
In an instant, Su Mo’s imposing manner greatly changed. He looked like a lofty king overlooking his people.
In the next moment, Su Mo sent a punch back.
“Dragon Battle in Star Field!”
The overflowing genuine Qi turned into dazzling fist radiance and flew out like cannonballs. A light tinge of dragon shadow could be seen flying in the fist radiance.
The surrounding air was being pushed aside and there appeared to be a vacuum.
This was the last move of Tiger Roaring and Dragon Fist. It was also the most powerful strike.
In the next instant…
Boom!
Their attacks abruptly met, which made deafening explosions and incessant gales. The impact swept across the fighting ring and the surroundings.
Repelled by the impact, some low-level Outer Disciples turned pale and retreated one step after another.
The crowd saw a tall and tough figure bouncing off from the explosion center, all the way to the edge of the fighting ring.
It was Fei Kuang.
Fei Kuang was defeated.
The crowd was startled by Fei Kuang’s defeat. Although Fei Kuang was powerful, he was no match for Su Mo.
They spontaneously thought about how far Su Mo could go.
“As his opponents got stronger, Su Mo displayed greater strength. Could he really enter the top three?”
At the ring, Fei Kuang took another deep breath and stared at Su Mo with a complex look.
“I didn’t expect you to have such terrific strength!” Fei Kuang sighed and added, “You’re competitive enough to be in the top three.”
Having said that, Fei Kuang left the fighting ring.
In the crowd of the Sky Alliance, Li Jiandong frowned.
Fei Kuang was only one place behind him in the ranking. Now that Fei Kuang was defeated by Su Mo, did it mean Su Mo could challenge him?
This only meant that Su Mo was qualified to challenge him.
The competition continued on.
The next match was Ling Muchen vs. Lu Shaoyun. As expected, Ling Muchen defeated Lu Shaoyun.
One after another, the bouts continued.
The fourth rival that Su Mo confronted with was Mei Ling, who decisively admitted defeat.
In the next two matches, Duan Bingye defeated Fei Kuang and Ling Muchen defeated Wu Meng.
“The next match, Su Mo vs. Li Jiandong!” the Deacon said.
