C402 One Sword Defeat Martial King Upper(2)

Compared to the color of the blade's glow, everyone was more interested in its length. Once fully unleashed, the blade's glow stretched nearly 200 yards, almost twice the length of Woo Zhengyang's sword aura.

The height at which an expert at Martial King level could hover was about 100 yards, so Woo Zhengyang's sword aura could barely reach Liao Qinghua, and its power was greatly reduced, making it easy for Qinghua to dodge. However, Qinghua's blade glow posed a significant threat to both Woo Zhengyang and the four women with him.

"Unless you can fly too, I'm unbeatable!" Liao Qinghua declared confidently, having just been underestimated by this young man, now feeling vindicated.

"Then I'll fly too!" Woo Zhengyang replied. As he spoke, the Ice Crystal Fire Hall appeared beneath him, lifting him and the four women into the air.

"What's going on? How is Woo Zhengyang flying too?"

"Is that palace below, half ice and half fire, the Ice Crystal Fire Hall from the Mystic Trace Realm?"

"It must be. Rumor has it that this madman once ventured into the Ice Fire Mystic Realm and obtained the Ice Crystal Fire Grass. Now it seems he brought back the entire Ice Crystal Fire Hall..."

"An ancient treasure..."

Many were envious upon seeing the Ice Crystal Fire Hall. Liao Qinghua's eyes flashed with a hint of greed, which quickly turned to anger.

Woo Zhengyang maneuvered the Ice Crystal Fire Hall higher and higher, reaching a distance of over 230 feet from the ground. The tables had turned, and Liao Qinghua, who once looked down, now had to look up.

What was even more infuriating was that those four girls above were pointing at him, making comments that were even more outrageous than before.

"Let's see how long you can keep this up!" At this point, Liao Qinghua couldn't hold back any longer and roared in anger as he launched his attack.

In an instant, a blade of earth-colored energy sliced through the sky, making the very space around it seem to tremble. This was the Essence Shaking Stage, where true energy resonates with the world.

This resonance with the world is similar to mastering the Martial Dao Concept, where one's soul energy serves as a medium to influence the world. However, the Essence Shaking Stage relies on the powerful vibration of true energy to move the heavens and earth.

Mastering the Martial Dao Concept is challenging and doesn't require a specific stage, while the Essence Shaking Stage only requires reaching a certain level, without the need for deep understanding. Because of these similarities, those who have grasped the Martial Dao Concept find it easier to advance to the next stage, which is why Liao Qinghua was so keen on quickly refining his martial will.

Even in mid-air, Woo Zhengyang was affected. The vibrating vital energy of heaven and earth sealed everything off, locking Woo Zhengyang in place.

If someone at the Shape Gathering Stage or even the Reality Condensing Stage faced this kind of lock, they'd have to resist with their true energy, significantly reducing their combat effectiveness. However, for Woo Zhengyang, who has honed his Martial Dao Concept, breaking through this effect is a breeze.

Yet, Woo Zhengyang didn't bother to do so because it wasn't necessary. He continued chatting and laughing with the four women, casually expanding the Ice Crystal Fire Hall beneath them from a few yards to several dozen yards.

"Boom..."

Liao Qinghua's blade energy crashed fiercely against the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, but it dissipated without leaving a scratch. This scene left the onlookers in awe. They knew the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, originating from an ancient secret realm, was extraordinary, but they hadn't expected it to be this powerful. An attack from a Martial King expert couldn't even shake it.

"The combat power of a Martial King expert is just so-so. Using your own words against you, unless you can break through the Ice Crystal Fire Hall's defenses, I'm invincible!" Woo Zhengyang said with a light chuckle, shrinking the Ice Crystal Fire Hall back to a few yards, revealing the five of them.

"You..." Liao Qinghua's anger flared even more. Who would've thought that his once confident self would have the tables turned by this young man, and in front of so many people, be relentlessly outmatched?

“Just borrowing the power of a treasure, huh? Let’s see if your treasure is truly invincible!”

In a fit of rage, Liao Qinghua went wild, unleashing the Earth Blade in relentless strikes. Sometimes it crashed against the icy side of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, and other times it slammed into the side engulfed in Profound Heaven Fire. Qinghua's figure darted around, trying to find a weak spot in the hall, but his efforts were in vain.

Under his furious assault, the sky turned into a dazzling display of colors—flames, frost, and the earthy yellow glimmer of dissipating blade energy scattered everywhere. After dozens of strikes, Qinghua finally stopped.

At this rate, without Woo Zhengyang lifting a finger, Qinghua would exhaust his energy entirely and be left defenseless.

“Tired already?” Woo Zhengyang peeked out from a corner of the Ice Crystal Fire Hall, taunting.

“You... If you’ve got the guts, face me openly! Or are you just going to hide like a coward?”

“A coward? Only someone who hides and peeks is a coward! Besides, you, a mighty Martial King expert, bullying a mere martial artist like me, and I can’t use a treasure?”

“You…”

“What about me? I warned you not to make the same mistake twice! Today, I’ll make you give up. Defeating you will take just one sword!”
