2249 Final Battle
Nobody expected Yue Feng to lose so quickly in the sixth round.
Initially, both parties fought with their divine powers and it was difficult to determine who was stronger.
However, after Yue Feng was closed in by Su Zimo, he could not defend against it and was almost minced to death by Su Zimo within two rounds!
"It's understandable why Immortal Tai Hua and the other 17 Earth Immortals died in the Nine Heavens."
Some cultivators who participated in the elimination round of the Earth Ranking did not have the chance to witness the shocking battle before the stele. They only lamented when they saw this fight.
"Understandable? It's more than that! You guys did not witness it personally but Su Zimo's counterattacks were even more ferocious in that battle!"
"I just didn't expect that even for Yue Feng who had obtained the legacy of the Mountain Sea Sutra of the number one body tempering sect of the four immortal sects, he lost so quickly."
Heaven Abyss, who was top of the Heaven Ranking in the past, was expressionless and remained silent.
Under normal circumstances, given Yue Feng's strength and defense, he would not lose out to Su Zimo in melee combat.
However, Su Zimo's offensive skill was truly a little strange. It coiled around Yue Feng like an anaconda and locked him down completely without any way of resisting!
"Senior brother, I lost."
Yue Feng returned to Mountain Sea Immortal Sect's table and lowered his head slightly with a guilty expression.
"You lost in terms of melee combat technique and was caught off guard by him,"
Heaven Abyss said, "This is the ranking battle of the Earth Ranking and you had a chance to escape. If this was a life and death battle, you would have already been dead."
"You are right, senior brother."
Yue Feng did not dare to retort.
On another battlefield.
From the moment Feng Yin and Liu Ping exchanged blows, Feng Yin had the upper hand the entire time. With the help of Imperial Wind Temple's top-tier movement technique, Shadow With the Wind, he controlled the situation and attacked continuously, forming a crushing situation.
Although Liu Ping had the inheritance of Heaven and Earth Academy and the gigantic willow, many of his methods would often come to nothing when released—he could not even touch the corner of Feng Yin's clothes.
When Feng Yin saw that Su Zimo had already ended his combat, his attacks intensified!
Gradually, Liu Ping could not hold on any longer and could barely defend.
Actually, be it in terms of Essence Spirit realm or physique and blood qi, the difference between the two of them was not too great.
However, reincarnated immortals were best at combat skills and experience.
In that aspect, Feng Yin was almost superior to Liu Ping!
In a sense, Liu Ping was facing a Perfected Immortal with the power of an Earth Immortal.
As for Liu Ping, he had just fused with his Essence Spirit and inherited the body of the gigantic willow. Although his strength had increased exponentially and he had more methods, he was not completely familiar with this body yet.
He could release many methods with the memories of the gigantic willow. However, without his own comprehension and understanding, he could not unleash his full strength.
Under such circumstances, Liu Ping was almost completely helpless!
Actually, if the battle between Su Zimo and Immortal Tai Hua in the Nine Heavens was a normal fight, it might have lasted for a long time.
Su Zimo released 36 Time Sabers in one go and forced Immortal Tai Hua into a corner, forming a battle of attrition between both parties.
Immortal Tai Hua's advantage as a reincarnated immortal was gone and he could not use any combat skills or experience. That was the reason why he died on the spot!
However, Liu Ping clearly could not do that.
Poof!
Liu Ping was slightly slower and a wound appeared on his arm, dripping with blood.
His tiny face was flat and his gaze was resolute. He was still moving around the green stone battlefield, defending against Feng Yin's attacks.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Feng Yin was expressionless and his attacks turned increasingly sharp.
Many Earth Immortals present could not see what weapon injured Liu Ping.
Everyone could only see a cold beam of light dancing around Feng Yin, faintly discernible. Each time it appeared, it would definitely leave a flash of blood on Liu Ping's body!
In just a few breaths, there were more than ten shocking wounds on Liu Ping's tiny body!
Liu Ping's face was pale as a sheet as he continued waving his willow branches, releasing immortal arts and secret skills with both hands. Biting his lip, he fought Feng Yin without saying anything!
'Every additional second I hold on for will be a second longer Junior Brother Su gets to rest!'
There were too many wounds and his blood qi was severely depleted. Liu Ping was already feeling dizzy. However, that thought was unusually resolute in his mind!
"Liu Ping, come on down."
Su Zimo frowned slightly and declared.
Liu Ping did not seem to have heard anything and was still fighting Feng Yin with all his might.
"You still refuse to admit defeat?"
Feng Yin's expression turned cold.
Naturally, he could tell Liu Ping's intentions as well and a cold glint flashed beside him!
Pfft!
Blood spewed into the air.
Two skinny children's arms flew into the air—Liu Ping's arms were severed by Feng Yin!
"Ah!"
Liu Ping let out a furious roar and did not retreat. Shaking his head, countless willow branches coiled towards Feng Yin like spirit snakes.
"Liu Ping admits defeat. Fellow Daoist, please show mercy!"
Sensing that the situation was bad, Su Zimo stood up hurriedly and shouted.
If Liu Ping refused to retreat on the green stone battlefield, Feng Yin could even kill him on the spot!
Poof!
Another blood beam spewed out.
A gigantic hole of blood appeared in Liu Ping's chest from the cold light beside Feng Yin!
Liu Ping's heart was pierced by Feng Yin and his blood qi deteriorated rapidly.
Swoosh!
Right then, a green figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield and shielded Liu Ping.
Su Zimo appeared and closed two fingers, conjuring a sword art that pointed at the void before him.
Clang!
The sharpness of the finger sword surged and the moment it descended, a cold light appeared in the void, colliding against it with an ear-piercing sound.
Feng Yin retreated and appeared on the other side of the green stone battlefield, raising his brow slightly. "Why? Does Heaven and Earth Academy want to fight with numbers?"
"Why don't the two of you come together? I can take both of you!"
"What a wild tone. As expected of a reincarnated Perfected Immortal," Someone praised.
Another person pouted. "What do you know? Liu Ping's heart exploded and his blood qi is weak. He's almost equivalent to a cripple. If Su Zimo really joins forces with Liu Ping, Liu Ping will become his burden instead. This reincarnated Perfected Immortal is smart."
Su Zimo glared at Feng Yin coldly before turning to check on Liu Ping's injuries.
Liu Ping's injuries were extremely severe and Feng Yin's later actions were clearly intentional—he wanted to cripple Liu Ping's body!
Thankfully, the lifeforce contained in Liu Ping's current body was way too immense.
Even though he was severely injured, his body did not deteriorate and was still recovering bit by bit.
Although the speed was very slow, his body could recover to its original state as long as he recuperated carefully!
"Junior Brother Su, I didn't manage to last long."
Liu Ping endured the pain from his body and forced a smile on his face.
"It's enough."
Su Zimo murmured softly and waved his sleeves, sending out a gentle breeze that wrapped around Liu Ping's body, causing the latter to float slowly to the spectator area of Heaven and Earth Academy.
He had not left the green stone battlefield himself.
Perfected Immortal Xie Ling stood up slowly as well and nodded and said, "That's perfect. The seventh round of the Earth Ranking battle, the final battle, shall officially begin!"
