C183 Quan Feichen!(2)

Sadly, despite all his efforts and strategies, Woo Zhengyang found himself trapped in the intricate game devised by the No Life Patriarch, unsure of what fate awaited him. On the bright side, the No Life Patriarch, as the mastermind of this deadly game, had left a path to survival for everyone, allowing Woo Zhengyang and his fellow Martial Disciples to hold onto hope.

The pull of the No Life Sword transported Woo Zhengyang to a sealed, windowless room. According to the instructions, the five survivors from the first round would enter such spaces. Here, each would randomly face an enemy at the Martial Master Stage in a one-on-one battle.

After surviving the initial slaughter, Woo Zhengyang and his group wielded weapons of at least superior spiritual quality, giving them a fighting chance. The final five victors, regardless of whether they were Martial Disciples or Masters, would receive the strongest five No Life weapons to date. When these five individuals came within a thirty-foot radius, their weapons would be imbued with the death essence of No Life City, increasing their power by fifty percent.

This rule bound the five together, sharing in each other's success or failure. Forming a team of five was their only option. Even if a Martial Disciple emerged victorious, they wouldn't struggle to find teammates.

Moreover, enhancing the power of the Five Cities' Death Art can significantly boost the team's overall strength. Even members at the Martial Disciple level might endure until the end of the second battle.

The air before him rippled, and Woo Zhengyang's opponent appeared. It was a young man dressed in the attire of an inner disciple of the Fallen Star Sect. Seeing Woo Zhengyang, the man smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect someone who made it to the end wouldn't be an elite disciple from any sect. Kid... what's your name?"

Hearing the man's question, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but think of the four Blade Men who fought alongside him. Even now, they didn't know each other's names or what kind of opponents they would face, or if they would have another chance to fight side by side.

Reflecting on this, Woo Zhengyang sighed and said, "In the end, it's either you or me. What does a name matter?"

"Trying to be deep!" the man scoffed, continuing, "But you're right. It's either you or me. Your name doesn't matter, but you can remember mine: Quan Feichen, Middle Rank Martial Master, Inner Disciple Number Nine of the Fallen Star Sect!"

Middle Rank Martial Master! Inner Disciple Number Nine of the Fallen Star Sect! These details made Woo Zhengyang cautious for a moment, but he quickly relaxed. In the second battle, Middle Rank Martial Masters were nothing unusual, and even Advanced Martial Masters weren't rare. The outer elders of those sects were mostly at the Peak of Martial Master stage. Without a doubt, many would choose the No Life Sword, destined to be Woo Zhengyang's enemies.

"You've got the No Life Sword in your hand now, and it's at eighty percent of its potential. Has it reached the level of a spiritual weapon? I'm really looking forward to seeing it!" Quan Feichen said, noticing Woo Zhengyang's silence.

"If you want it, come and get it!" Woo Zhengyang replied, raising the sword in his hand.

"Great! I was worried you'd be too scared to put up a fight, and that would be no fun at all!" With that, Quan Feichen strode confidently toward Woo Zhengyang.

Woo Zhengyang moved to meet him, his steps subtly executing the Dragon Countering Nine Steps technique. By the time Woo Zhengyang took his fifth step, they were less than ten feet apart.

"Take a good look. The Martial Master Stage is not something you can surpass just by relying on a spiritual weapon!" Quan Feichen declared, casually swinging the No Life Sword.

With a casual strike, the sword's energy arced like a rainbow. Despite being a simple iron-grade sword, in his hands, its power could rival that of a Nine-star Martial Disciple wielding a mid-grade treasure.

Since completing the Mystic Trace Realm trial and enduring a strike from Wang Haiyue, an elder at the Heavenly Martial Academy, this was Woo Zhengyang's first encounter with a Martial Master, and there was no backing down. Naturally, Woo Zhengyang was extremely cautious.

As the fierce sword light aimed straight for his face, Woo Zhengyang moved his feet, executing the sixth step of the Dragon Countering Nine Steps with full force. Using the recoil, he dodged the sword light and swiftly moved to Quan Feichen's side.

"Nice moves!" Quan Feichen remarked with a hint of surprise.

Woo Zhengyang had come a long way, and Quan knew he wasn't someone to be underestimated. Without hesitation, he countered with three swift sword strikes. The arcs of light from the sword formed a triangle, leaving Woo Zhengyang with no room to retreat.

Seeing no other option, Woo Zhengyang decided not to dodge. Instead, he wielded his No Life Sword, responding with three quick slashes of his own. This time, he didn't unleash any sword energy but relied on the sheer quality of the No Life Sword to easily dispel the incoming arcs.

"This sword is impressive..." Quan Feichen observed, not with fear but with delight. The stronger Woo Zhengyang's No Life Sword was, the better it would be for him. Once he mastered it, even a peak martial master would be within his reach!
