Chapter 896 Get real
"Brother Zhao is too cunning."
"I was lucky; things were just starting to go wrong when I got on stage."
"They're running really fast, what should we do?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
"..."
As Zhao Mu dashed off to the arena, Jia Zheng and the others whispered amongst themselves and quietly slipped away, claiming they were there to cheer on Zhao Mu.
Yu Ying and Yan Lan did not come to blows; they merely stared at each other for a moment before falling silent.
In comparison, Yanlan understood Zhao Mu's strength better than Yu Ying. After all, the two had been inseparable for countless days, and she knew how formidable Zhao Mu was. Therefore, even when facing Liu Can, she had no worries.
On the contrary, Yu Ying kept her eyes fixed on the arena.
To be honest, she didn't really know how strong Zhao Mu was, but she had heard of Liu Can's name many times, and even the old ancestor of Yu Beicheng had praised Liu Can, saying that Snow Demon Valley had produced a very good young man this time.
According to my elder brothers, over the years, the number of people praised by Ancestor Yu Beicheng has never exceeded five, and without exception, they have all become famous powerhouses.
"Aren't you worried at all that Zhao Mu will lose?"
Seeing that Yanlan didn't seem to care, Yu Ying became a little curious.
"Lose? Is that even possible?"
Yanlan smiled teasingly. It was extremely rare for the young sect leader of the Amorous Sword Sect to show such an obvious expression. "It seems that the concept of 'first come, first served' doesn't apply to you."
Although I met this guy a little later than you, I know him quite well and I'm not worried at all that he will lose to Liu Can.
On the contrary, you, the one who arrived first, don't seem to know anything about his strength.
Tsk tsk~
"..."
Yu Ying was taken aback, then pouted and said, "So even the Little Sword King can be sarcastic!"
"Aren't you the same, Fairy Yu!"
While the two women were exchanging barbs, Zhao Mu had already landed on the arena.
The area was packed with people; it could be said that almost all the participants were here. The reason was simple: the top ten competitions were all being held on this one stage.
"This Zhao Mu is truly unexpected!"
"Yes, an unknown nobody has actually made it all the way to the top ten, but he should stop when he faces Liu Can of Snow Demon Valley, one of the two masters of swordsmanship."
"In comparison, I'd rather see the Little Sword King clash with this Demon Blade Master. With both sword and blade prowess, which is sharper, the sword or the blade?"
"You guys are so ignorant. This Zhao Mu is no nobody. He has already made a name for himself in the Langhuan Secret Realm."
"That's right. With his cultivation at the Void Realm, Cang Lanze led Fairy Yu to escape from Cang Lin, who was at the Four Extremes Realm. Later, in the shattered small world of Kamakura Ancient Desert, he even slaughtered all the members of the Cang family team, including Cang Lin."
"And another thing, inside the ruins of Zecheng in the Black Sand Sea, he broke through to the Fourth Extreme Realm and was met with a dazzling heavenly lightning. Could someone who could attract heavenly punishment when breaking through to a major realm be an ordinary person?"
"Fairy Yu was able to successfully break through to the Fourth Extreme Realm within the Myriad Spirits Record thanks to this guy who single-handedly fought against Cang Ming and Yin Yu."
"Even if you haven't heard of these things, after so many matches, don't you have any idea? So far, he has always defeated his opponent with just one move, even Cang Mian, who is said to have the strength of the top ten, is the same."
“Hiding his cultivation level, this guy is definitely hiding his cultivation level. Even if he cultivates both spirit and body at the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, he could never be this strong.”
"I think he might still be able to pull off a miracle, and Liu Can, the Demon Blade, will be defeated by him."
"Defeat is inevitable. It all depends on how much of his strength this Demon Blade can force out."
"I just heard a rumor that this guy named Zhao Mu is targeting Cang Ming and Yin Yu."
"..."
Around the arena, comments about Zhao Mu were flying everywhere, and everyone was very interested.
On the arena, Zhao Mu remained calm as he observed his opponent, Liu Can, the Demon Blade. Although he had spoken confidently earlier, it did not mean he would underestimate his opponent.
Even a tiger uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, let alone Liu Can, who is not as simple as he appears.
Those who have made it into the top ten these days all won easily.
Simply put, the top ten and those below them are not even on the same level. In the previous battles, they may not have even shown 10% of their strength.
He had long, flowing red hair, wore a black, fitted outfit, had a rugged appearance, and carried a broadsword that was at least half a meter long.
It perfectly matches the title of "Demon Blade".
"Snow Demon Valley, Liu Can!"
"Zhao Mu!"
The two exchanged names and immediately began fighting at the referee's command to "start the match".
bang bang bang~
The two fought cleanly and efficiently, but left the onlookers bewildered.
"???"
"No, what's going on? It's understandable that Zhao Mu doesn't use weapons, after all, he's a body cultivator, and we've never seen him use weapons before. But what's with Liu Can? Doesn't he use a knife?"
"It's probably just them testing each other."
"Liu Can fighting a body cultivator bare-handed? That's incredibly unwise."
"It's no longer just pure punching and kicking; it's getting more intense. Look, it seems like Liu Can is about to get serious."
"..."
After exchanging over a hundred moves, Demon Blade Liu Can was caught off guard by Zhao Mu, who kicked him away, sending him flying just off the edge of the arena. However, he was clearly not injured; at most, he just snorted and his eyes became a little more serious.
"Zhao Mu, your body-refining technique is quite unique; it's actually lightning-attribute. That's interesting."
Liu Can brushed off the lightning arcs still clinging to his body and chuckled, "Besides, there's no need for you to hide your cultivation level anymore. A body cultivator at the early stage of the Four Extremes Realm can't defeat me. Your body cultivation should have already broken through to the mid-stage of the Four Extremes Realm, or even... higher, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu smiled slightly, "You, Demon Blade Liu Can, are truly astonishing. A mere Spirit Refining cultivator, you managed to exchange over a hundred blows with me using only your physical strength and fist techniques. You truly live up to the name Demon Blade."
This is not a compliment.
Liu Can guessed that he must have specially tempered his physical body. Although he was not a body cultivator, his physical strength was much stronger than that of other spirit cultivators of the same level, and he had a wealth of combat experience.
I reckon this guy crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"I hope you can surprise me again!"
Liu Can reached out and took down the broadsword, which was at least half a zhang long. A layer of red energy appeared on his body and the sword. This guy had obviously long since reached the state of man and sword as one, and he cultivated the fire attribute.
Judging from the purity of his fire attribute, it's clear that he has come a long way in the path of fire.
Zhao Mu felt that Liu Can's understanding of the fire element was probably superior to his own.
This result shocked him, because he possessed the Phoenix True Flame. Although he did not deliberately cultivate the fire attribute, his understanding of the fire attribute would automatically improve over time.
This is what makes Phoenix True Flame so precious.
"Jia Zheng is right, Liu Can is indeed a formidable opponent."
