Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 457 - 426: The Final Battle

The deafening boom finally subsided, and the world fell silent once more.

The sea of fire that scorched the void finally extinguished.

At this moment, the figures of Qin Qing and Li Mu once again appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

However, the scene that met their eyes left everyone speechless for a long time, their eyes filled with shock and astonishment.

Qin Qing held a long spear, his gaze sharp, his spirits high. The Azure Dragon Spear in his hands was tilted upward, its tip piercing through Li Mu’s throat.

Li Mu’s pupils were wide with disbelief, his eyes filled with intense horror, a fear of death.

Had he really died?

Him, one of Tai’a’s Twin Prides, actually died at the hands of Qin Qing!

"Gurgle... Gurgle!"

Bright red blood kept pouring from Li Mu’s mouth.

"Clink!"

The red great spear in his hands slipped to the ground, emitting a clear, resonant sound.

Qin Qing looked at Li Mu indifferently, then withdrew his spear...

Li Mu’s body lost its support, and in the next moment, he fell backward.

"Thud!"

A dull sound signaled the end of this lofty figure who was once shrouded in countless auras of glory.

The thirteenth fight, Qin Qing emerged victorious once more!

Thirteen consecutive victories!

All eyes were focused on Qin Qing.

An ever-growing wave of shock surged in everyone’s hearts...

They hadn’t even seen clearly how Qin Qing made his move when Li Mu unleashed his strongest attack, yet Qin Qing had won the victory of this battle.

However...

There were a few who saw it clearly.

Just now, within the endless flames, Qin Qing and Li Mu had collided for the last time.

Li Mu’s killing move had reached its peak power, but Qin Qing possessed an extremely terrifying physical body.

If it had been any other Golden Core Realm martial artist, they would have been directly annihilated by Li Mu’s move; even Mo Yu might have struggled to withstand such a violent spatial vortex.

Yet, Qin Qing’s physical body had reached a degree that could be described as monstrous, such strength in the flesh was almost unheard of among Martial Dao Masters of the Golden Core Realm.

Not to mention the Golden Core Realm, even Nascent Soul Realm martial ancestors wouldn’t be likely.

Only the Martial Spirits of the Divinity Transformation Realm could possibly possess such a powerful body, yet Qin Qing had achieved this with his cultivation of the Golden Core Realm!

This forced everyone to reassess Qin Qing’s true strength!

Mo Yu, of course, realized this as well.

Now he understood that Qin Qing’s greatest trump card must be his formidable physical body.

"This Qin Qing..." Mo Yu took a deep breath, the original contempt in his eyes, along with his nearly arrogant confidence, vanished in an instant.

What took their place was an unprecedented solemnity.

"It seems... defeating Qin Qing might not be as easy as I imagined."

"However... I still have a great chance!"

Mo Yu rapidly calculated Qin Qing’s strength in his mind.

"My attacks can ignore defenses to a certain extent. This point differs from Li Mu. So, there’s no need to worry too much about Qin Qing’s formidable physique."

Before pondering, Mo Yu had also stepped forward from the disciples of Tai’a Academy.

At this time, all eyes from the disciples of Tai’a Academy were on Mo Yu.

At this point, Tai’a Academy had only one person left.

Wind-Fire Academy, too, had only Qin Qing remaining.

The final showdown, a true one-on-one!

In the end, would Mo Yu defeat Qin Qing, stopping Qin Qing’s consecutive victories in their tracks and preserving the last vestiges of Tai’a Academy’s dignity?

Or would Qin Qing defeat Mo Yu, seizing victory in the fourteenth battle, and with an indomitable stance, sweep through Tai’a Academy?

For most of the spectators, they probably hoped to see Qin Qing win another battle, for to fight fourteen battles in a row, turn the tide, and claim the final victory would be miraculous.

No, it should be called a divine feat!

But... will the miracle eventually appear?

Above the battle platform.

Qin Qing and Mo Yu were already standing face to face.

This time, there were no words exchanged between them, their eyes brimming with endless fighting spirit.

"Swoosh!"

Sword Qi suddenly howled into existence.

Mo Yu made the first move.

His figure seemed to vanish into thin air, and the next moment he reappeared, it was behind Qin Qing.

The Shadowless Sword in his hand was like an invisible poisonous snake, thrusting towards Qin Qing’s spine.

Qin Qing’s movements were equally fast. He stepped forward with the Sky-splitting Step Technique, shrinking the ground into inches, dodging Mo Yu’s sword while simultaneously switching from defense to offense, sweeping his hand backward as the Flying Sword roared out.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Sword Qi burst forth, instantly transforming into dozens of fierce blades of Sword Qi, enveloping Mo Yu in an attempt to cut him down.

During his battle with Li Mu, Qin Qing hadn’t used a single sword move from start to finish because he was absolutely confident that he could suppress Li Mu.

But the fight with Mo Yu was different.

Mo Yu did not possess a Fire Attribute Martial Soul, so Qin Qing couldn’t directly overpower him with his Martial Soul.

Moreover, Mo Yu’s combat style was even more fierce and swift.

"Starbreaker!"

"Moon Slay!"

Qin Qing launched sword moves in quick succession, the Sword Qi fierce as a stormy wind.

Mo Yu’s sword moves were just as substantial, directly countering the might of Qin Qing’s Sword Qi.

The Shadowless Sword flew incessantly through the air, unseen and unfelt, yet seemingly omnipresent.

At this moment.

Everyone was engrossed in the duel between Qin Qing and Mo Yu.

The sword cultivators, especially, felt as if they were enjoying a visual feast, learning an immense amount from the clash of sword moves between Qin Qing and Mo Yu.

The exchange of their sword moves kept changing, alternating between offense and defense, endlessly variable.

What one could learn from such a battle was far more practical than anything that could be learned from Technique Cultivation Manuals.

"Boom!"

Another violent collision.

The raging Sword Qi continuously sliced through the air, hissing sharply.

Both Qin Qing and Mo Yu accumulated more and more sword wounds on their bodies.

"Huff!"

Suddenly, a fierce gust of wind came from behind Qin Qing’s neck.

Qin Qing’s pupils shrank, and he stepped sideways to dodge.

At the same time, a shadowy figure appeared, the elusive Mo Yu suddenly striking from the side.

He, and the sword in his hand, seemed to merge into one, becoming a single Shadowless Sword.

Qin Qing was surrounded by an explosive surge of Sword Qi.

"Judgment Nine Swords—Sunset!"

Qin Qing countered with his sword.

The Sunset move was the sixth of the Judgment Nine Swords.

It was as if a single slash had the power to pierce the heavens and bring down the sun.

However, just as Qin Qing’s sword moved to strike Mo Yu, Mo Yu suddenly disappeared!

True to the name of his swordsmanship, he was without a trace, as though he had vanished into thin air.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at the platform.

Just a moment ago, the two of them had been on the battle platform, but now only Qin Qing remained!

Had Mo Yu actually vanished into thin air?

Qin Qing’s pupils also shrank.

This time, Mo Yu really had vanished into nothingness, and even with Qin Qing’s powerful Divine Sense, he could not detect Mo Yu’s position.

Then, within the next breath, a suffocating sense of death enveloped Qin Qing...
