Chapter 696: Lotus, Blazing Flame!
As she finished speaking,
Her body burst into flames, attacking the Grade Four Grandmaster at an extremely fast pace!
First a kick was thrown.
After being blocked, she stepped back, delivered a spinning kick, flashed behind him, followed up with a punch, and then changed positions for a side kick...
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen rounds were exchanged.
One could hardly see her figure; all they could see was a ball of fire relentlessly attacking from all directions.
The speed was so fast, it resembled a blooming lotus made of flames surrounding the Grade Four Grandmaster!
From the helicopter in the sky, Qin Feng couldn't help but be astonished, never expecting Hong Lian to be this formidable.
This technique.
Seemed to lack an earth-shattering explosion,
But left the opponent unable to counter!
The Grade Four Grandmaster was able to defend at first, but as Hong Lian's speed increased, he couldn't even retaliate in time, forced to just endure the barrage of punches and kicks!
In a matter of seconds,
He had taken hundreds of blows and his body was scorched by the flames!
Thud!
The Grade Four Grandmaster couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The entire place fell silent.
No one expected that Hong Lian would emerge victorious once again, defeating an opponent of higher cultivation level, which was truly incredible!
However,
After the move "Lotus Fierce Flame", Hong Lian's physical strength had reached its limit; she stopped and took deep breaths, her body trembling with fatigue.
"Hehehe..."
At this moment, someone stepped out from the crowd with a smile, addressing Hong Lian, "Not bad, very good indeed, a talent like you is truly rare! Winning for a whole week straight is certainly no small feat."
As the words were spoken,
Everyone involuntarily stepped back, filled with awe!
Seeing this, one of Hong Lian's former subordinates stepped forward and said, "Heavenly Blade, you're not going to challenge directly, are you? Our lord has just fought, do you think it's appropriate?"
"Why wouldn't it be appropriate when two people can challenge per day?" Heavenly Blade said with a disdainful smile, "If I win later, others can also challenge me in succession, I won't mind even if three people challenge me."
"You..."
The crowd was at a loss for words.
Hong Lian looked at him, frowning and saying, "Heavenly Blade, I didn't expect you to show up only now."
Heavenly Blade.
Former Sect Leader of the Holy Blade Sect, who after being decimated by the Supreme Sect to just over a dozen survivors, most of whom were severely injured, had joined the Moon Cutting Sect and recovered thanks to the elixirs they provided.
Of course,
Most people who joined the Moon Cutting Sect were in similar situations.
What made Heavenly Blade different was that, aside from being a former sect leader, he was importantly a Grade Five Grandmaster!
Grade Five Grandmaster!
That implied formidable power and significant pride!
How could he willingly be commanded by someone of lower cultivation?
So,
He was the one who most wanted to see Hong Lian fall!
And suggested that they need a new leader to confront the Supreme Sect.
"I thought you would have made a move as soon as you got here,"
Hong Lian said with furrowed brows.
"Hehehe..."
Heavenly Blade walked up to Hong Lian, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, speaking in a low voice, "Others may not know, but I'm aware that you have a move called 'Mutual Destruction'. If you truly disregard your own life, that move could take down not just a Fifth Grade Grandmaster but even a Seventh Grade Grandmaster. Now that you're exhausted, you can't use that move, hehehe..."
"Despicable!"
Hong Lian said angrily, frowning.
She didn't expect Heavenly Blade to decide to appear now for this reason.
"I advise you to step down!"
Heavenly Blade said with a smile, "With how you are right now, you're likely to lose your life just from a flick of my finger."
"No way! I won't step down unless you kill me!" Hong Lian declared.
"Tsk tsk, sore loser, aren't you?"
"Try me!"
"I'm saying, Hong Lian, why are you so obsessed with destroying the Supreme Sect? With all the wealth backing you, you could easily take it and start anew somewhere else. Staying here is a dead end. After all this fighting, you should realize the Supreme Sect's strength."
"The Moon Cutting Sect was founded to fight the Supreme Sect. If you don't want to fight, feel free to leave. No one's forcing you!"
"Heh heh, once I replace you and meet the financier, grabbing the wealth, I will leave."
"Despicable scum!!"
"..."
The Heavenly Blade still wore a disdainful smile, saying, "In that case, I'll have to take your life."
As he spoke.
He flicked his finger, ready to attack.
At that moment.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Wait—!!"
Everyone looked up.
There were a hundred helicopters in the sky!
From one of them.
A man was descending from the sky, leaping toward the dueling platform!
Everyone was stunned.
From the height of those helicopters, several hundred meters above the ground, he dared to jump down? Wasn't he afraid of breaking his legs?
Even a Fifth Grade Grandmaster wouldn't dare!
Boom—!!
Qin Feng, with a "boom," landed heavily from the helicopter!
The ground shook on impact!
Around his feet, cracks spread out in every direction!
"It's been a while since I've jumped from such a height, my legs are a bit numb."
After jumping down, Qin Feng moved his legs around and muttered.
"..."
Seeing the situation, the people couldn't help but be slack-jawed!
A bit numb?
Jumping from such a height and not turning into a pile of mush, and he's only talking about being a bit numb...
"Who are you?"
Heavenly Blade asked, furrowing his brow.
Qin Feng just glanced at him indifferently, then turned to Hong Lian with concern, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Hong Lian nodded.
Some of her subordinates got excited seeing Qin Feng.
The shock he brought when he dealt with Six-fingered Dharma in Jiang City was still fresh in their minds.
"What's the situation now?"
Qin Feng gestured to the surrounding people and asked Hong Lian.
With a heavy sigh, Hong Lian gave him a brief explanation.
Heavenly Blade, growing impatient, said: "Hey, kid, what exactly are you doing, daring to meddle in our affairs? I'm afraid a few heads won't be enough for you."
Having heard Hong Lian out, Qin Feng turned to Heavenly Blade and said, "You've been coveting my wealth?"
"You?"
Heavenly Blade sized up Qin Feng, his mouth curling into a smile, "So you're the financier behind Hong Lian, just a mere martial master, tsk tsk, quite the surprise! Hahaha..."
"Seeing you laugh so heartily, do you think it's easy to rob me because my cultivation is weak?" Qin Feng also shrugged and laughed, then added, "Please, are you out of your mind? If I were that weak, how could I be so wealthy? Or better yet, think again, if I were too weak, could I jump from such a high-flying aircraft?"
"You..."
"Enough with the 'you' and 'me,' come on, make your move!" Qin Feng looked indifferent and waved his hand at him.
"I..."
"And you can stop with the 'I' too, if you don't make a move, then I will. I don't have time to waste."
As he spoke.
Qin Feng swung his arm, the Life and Death Blade in hand, performed Gale Step, and attacked Heavenly Blade...
