Su Mo stood up, and after sizing Ouyang Xiao up, he said, “Your reputation as the number one in the Outer Palace is nothing to me. I only wish to have a good fight. I hope you’ll not disappoint me!”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Xiao nodded and said, “Stop talking. Let’s fight!”
The two of them stopped talking and looked at each other. Powerful aura surged from their body and created a lot of turbulence in the fighting ring.
The fierce fight between the disciples of the Outer Palace was about to begin and all the disciples were stirred up.
“I’ll be the banker. Who’s placing the bet? It’ll be one-for-one for both of them!” Someone shouted out of the blue and broke the silence.
A gambler started handicap.
Surprisingly, many disciples started to place their bets!
“I’m betting 300,000 Upper Spiritual Stones on Senior Brother Ouyang!”
“I’m betting 200,000 Upper Spiritual Stones on Senior Brother Ouyang!”
“I’m betting 100,000 Upper Spiritual Stones on Mo Su!”
Many disciples placed their bets on Ouyang Xiao while others bet on Su Mo.
Although everyone hoped that Ouyang Xiao would defeat Su Mo, some of them felt that Su Mo had the chance of winning so they bet on Su Mo as well.
Su Mo ignored the gamblers and fixed his eyes on Ouyang Xiao.
Buzz…
The Sky-crushing Sword in Su Mo’s hand started to shake. The eight Spiritual Spirals in his body surged crazily and immense Dark Force gushed through the meridians in his body.
“Slash!” Su Mo took the lead and slashed out hard.
This blow was simple and straight-forward but the sword power could not be taken lightly.
The three-colored sword Qi shot out in a fan-shaped and tore the space into two, splitting the heavens and earth apart.
The sword Qi broke through the restrictions of space and time and appeared instantly before Ouyang Xiao.
Ouyang Xiao had a pair of black gauntlets on his fists, and he looked expressionless. He punched out just as the sword Qi was about to hit him.
The fierce fist force gushed out like a flood.
He had drawn in the air from the surrounding area, and an explosive power had gathered in his fist force.
Boom!
There was an explosion as the fist force and the sword Qi clashed together. A large black hole was blasted out of the void and a destructive spacial power surged out of it.
“He’s indeed powerful!” Su Mo looked grave as he saw that Ouyang Xiao had fended off his blow effortlessly.
Whoosh!
He immediately jumped up to the sky and struck again with his sword.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sword radiance burst out as Su Mo struck continuously with his Sky-crushing Sword. As the sword Qi pierced through the sky, it formed a large Sword Net and moved toward Ouyang Xiao.
Ouyang Xiao looked grim. The yellow Dark Force above his fists surged continually and his aura became more horrifying.
“Sky-cracking Fist!” Ouyang Xiao shouted and punched out. His fist force was as powerful as a dragon and it whizzed across the horizon.
A large area became a vacuum as the fist force absorbed all the air in it.
As the two fist forces hit the Sword Net, they exploded. The force was so great that the large Sword Net broke into pieces.
Su Mo was unable to defeat Ouyang Xiao with this blow.
“His fistplay is so powerful!” Su Mo squinted his eyes. Ouyang Xiao’s fistplay was able to draw the air into his fist force.
When the fist force was about to hit its target, the compressed air exploded together with it and created a great force.
This fistplay was similar to Murong Wudi’s Gravitational Field.
“Mo Su, it’s impossible for you to defeat me!” Ouyang Xia stood tall in the fighting ring and looked confident.
When the disciples saw that Su Mo was unable to defeat Ouyang Xiao with two blows, they were elated.
“Hahaha! Mo Su has used up his trump cards!”
“He’s unable to defeat Senior Brother Ouyang Xiao!”
“We have been unduly worried. No one in the Outer Palace can defeat Senior Brother Ouyang. No matter how powerful Mo Su is, he’s unable to defeat him!”
“Hahaha, Senior Brother Ouyang is the most powerful of all!”
The crowd chattered excitedly and many of them burst out into laughter.
The disciples were looking forward to seeing Ouyang Xiao defeat Su Mo.
They wanted to see the expression of this arrogant guy when he was being defeated!
They were prepared to humiliate Su Mo and trample him under their feet once he had been defeated.
When they thought of how Su Mo would be ripped off his pride, they were excited.
In the fighting ring.
Su Mo looked grim. He was burning with a strong fighting desire as the fighting spirit in him surged.
The stronger his opponent, the more interesting it would be!
“Ouyang Xiao, you’re a worthy opponent. I’ll give it my best shot now!” Su Mo said loudly.
Su Mo was impressed. Ouyang Xiao was powerful and as the genius of Emperor Xuan Palace, he had lived up to his name.
Although Ouyang Xiao and Xue Tianqiong had the same cultivation, his strength had way surpassed Xue Tianqiong. Su Mo believed that if Ouyang Xiao was in the East Continent, he would have been ranked number one on the List of Top 1,000 Talents.
If Su Mo wanted to defeat Ouyang Xiao, he would have to use his Three Secret Techniques!
“Give it your best shot then!” Ouyang Xiao said with a straight face and nodded.
Although Ouyang Xiao looked nonchalant, his heart was heavy. He knew from Su Mo’s earlier attacks that he was extremely powerful and his strength was on par with his.
Su Mo stood tall in the sky, and his robe fluttered with the wind.
In the next instant.
Dazzling golden light burst out from Su Mo’s body and layers of golden scale armor instantly covered him up.
In the twinkle of an eye, Su Mo had turned into a Golden-armored Ares.
He had activated his Archean Dragonesque Elephant Skill as well as his physical strength.
However, he did not pin too much hope on his physical strength as he felt that it would not help him defeat Ouyang Xiao.
He had this thought because as the properties of his Dark Force merged together, his cultivation had become extremely powerful and had way surpassed his physical strength.
Thus, his physical strength was not of much help to him in increasing his overall strength.
Even so, it would be better than nothing. He believed that it would help him in some way as a whole.
“Strike!” Su Mo shouted and dashed toward Ouyang Xiao.
He shot out like a sharp golden arrow and pierced through the horizon, targeting at Ouyang Xiao.
“Go back!” Ouyang Xiao saw that Su Mo had cultivated his skills and physiques together. Before Su Mo could go near him, he had started to fight back.
Boom!
Ouyang Xiao threw out a punch. A yellow fist radiance smashed the space and went through the void. The vast fist force was so majestic that everyone was captivated by the aura!
