Chapter 89: The Final Showdown
“Magic and Martial Dual Cultivation!” Xuelian, seated in the VIP viewing area, couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. It’s indeed impressive to cling to Claude’s side, and moreover, Grandpa Laogeri is also practicing the combination of magic and martial arts. Obviously, this is a skill passed down from master to disciple.
But in another separate room, Laogeri’s eyes flickered as he looked at the short sword in Yuehai’s hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
However, Claude appeared very calm, in stark contrast to the astonishment of the other magicians and warriors around him.Obviously, after spending some time with the other party, Claude has already noticed this secret of Yuehai.
“Magic and martial arts cultivation… interesting.” Zamiyah’s lips curved into a faint smile as she shifted her gaze towards Nicholas.
“Miss Nicholas, it seems the newcomer from your family is quite a promising talent.”
“Your praise is too kind, sir.” Although Nicholas responded appropriately on the surface, her mind was more puzzled than the others, wondering when exactly Laogeri had taught Yuehai martial arts skills.
The other judges had varied expressions, all showing interest, but Leilindor remained unchanged, seemingly destined to sleep for a thousand years. Nicholas, beside him, after several futile reminders, was simply filled with resentment, almost wishing for him to fall into eternal slumber!
Yet, it wasn’t until this moment that the audience below reacted, each bursting into fervent discussions.
“Magic and martial arts cultivation? And she’s a girl with astounding proficiency in magic? And on top of that, she’s incredibly beautiful! Who could have thought of a more perfect person? Many spectators said that even just catching a glimpse of Yuehai made their journey from afar worthwhile.”
While the audience below buzzed with excitement, Yuehai and Mo Qingting on stage showed no signs of slackening.
Mo Qingting glanced at the dagger in Yuehai’s hand. It was very ordinary, indicating it wasn’t a powerful artifact but rather an iron-level weapon. Therefore, the real key to breaking through the “Heart Armor” was the opponent’s martial skills.
If that were the case, then before her stood a super genius who possessed both magical and martial talents!
Moreover… Mo Qingting’s eyes revealed a hint of envy.
And she’s also a stunning beauty.
There are many who can break through the “Heart Armor,” but being broken by a magician using martial arts was something Mo Qingting never anticipated. She had heard that Lord Laogeri of the Duke of Cyril’s mansion practiced both magic and martial arts, but she never imagined his disciple could also accomplish such a feat.
On the other hand, Yuehai was even more troubled than Mo Qingting. She couldn’t even handle the first move, let alone the yet-to-be-perfected second move. Whether in terms of stability or the time required to build up power, it would make it easy for Mo Qingting to seize the opportunity and easily break through.
She had intended to reveal her martial arts skills at a critical moment to achieve a surprising victory. However, she hadn’t expected Mo Qingting’s assault to be so fierce. Forced to do so, she had no choice but to use the “Heavenly Sword One Heart” technique to break through. But what surprised her even more was that even this strike barely forced her opponent out of the “Heart Armor” state. It was difficult to even inflict a scratch, let alone seriously injure her.
Just how high is the original level of this woman? Clearly, she’s more formidable than the dozen or so warriors before her! Yuehai complained inwardly, feeling as though it was divine retribution for her cheating to be faced with such a strong opponent.
As time passed, both Mo Qingting and Yuehai could see that the sand in the hourglass could only sustain them for one more clash.
So, whether to attack or defend, they would have to make a decision, which would directly influence the final outcome.
A brief moment of contemplation lasted only a second before all questions were answered in their minds. In the next moment, the battle began!
The best defense is a good offense! Mo Qingting was familiar with this principle. Having experienced countless battles, she suddenly accelerated using the momentum of her body technique, “Heart Flowing Water.” Yuehai could keenly feel the air solidifying once again!
Yuehai chose to step back, but she was pondering another question. In the previous clashes, Mo Qingting’s use of body techniques also caused the air to solidify momentarily. Subsequently, she would move the solidified ‘block’ of air comprehensively with the movement of her technique. This was why Yuehai had a feeling of an impending storm, as if a tsunami were about to hit. It was akin to dragging a snowball across a snowy field; eventually, the snowball would grow larger and the momentum would become overwhelming. This also explained why Dragon Slayer mentioned that once “Heart Flowing Water” reached its peak, it would be extremely challenging.
Yuehai furrowed her brow tightly. She was constrained in many ways right now, especially regarding her body techniques. Not to mention that her body technique was only halfway completed. Even if she were proficient in the first fold of the myriad folding techniques, as Yuehai, she couldn’t use them. After all, her alter ego as Tyr would have to appear later. If she exposed her body technique and others saw it, coupled with Tyr also using the same technique, Yuehai felt her good days at the Duke’s mansion would come to an end.
So, it’s quite obvious that there’s only one choice now, isn’t it?
Defense! Hold on until the end!
However, with Mo Qingting’s aggressiveness, purely defensive tactics were obviously suicidal. Moreover, with the opponent’s body technique gaining momentum, it was necessary to launch a counterattack that threatened her in order to effectively defend.
Triple Speed Technique! In the moment of retreating, Yuehai suddenly tapped her toe and swiftly dashed towards Mo Qingting.
“!?” Mo Qingting was clearly confused by the opponent’s move of stepping back and then boldly charging forward again. While the opponent possessed martial skills, it was evident that she lacked experience in combat. Furthermore, her advantage lay in the power of her sword technique. Engaging in close combat with someone as experienced as herself was unwise. So, if the opponent wasn’t reckless, then she must have a means to counter her.
It was clear that the person before her was not the former.
