Chapter 1848 - 1839: Escape as Soon as Possible
Tonight, Ao Cangsheng didn’t practice kung fu, but stayed by Bastard’s side until Bastard woke up.
Ao Cangsheng reminded him that if he encountered a life‑threatening battle in the future, he should get away as long as there was a chance. Don’t throw your life away for a single moment of impulse.
You might not care about your own life, but think about the people who care about you.
Only idiots would pull this kind of stupid stunt over and over. It hurts your enemies and your family just as quickly.
After hearing Ao Cangsheng’s words, I didn’t say anything, just silently nodded.
When Ao Cangsheng was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed the hem of Ao Cangsheng’s clothes, his eyes red and swollen as he said, "Boss, can you do something for me?"
Ao Cangsheng nodded, and his eyes instantly turned cold. "Don’t worry, for today’s blade, I’ll make Lingxiao Academy pay back tenfold."
But unexpectedly, after hearing this, he sat down and gently shook his head. "That’s not it."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
Ao Cangsheng was a little surprised, frowning as he asked.
I sighed and said, "Today I won my first glorious battle, and in the Dengyun Building I won four hundred and fifty third‑grade Round Crystals. You can take them back tomorrow."
Hearing this, a black line instantly appeared on Ao Cangsheng’s forehead.
The moon set and the sun rose. The Underground Dragon’s banquet finally ended today.
Before the sun rose.
"First match, He Yifan from Lingxiao Academy versus Zhan from Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School!"
At last, the referee shouted to the audience.
Hearing this voice, many people couldn’t help getting excited.
One was Lingxiao Academy’s number one, strength on par with Shui Duanyun.
Although his background was unknown, he was the biggest dark horse of the banquet.
Who would win and who would lose? Who was strong and who was weak? Before the fight, no one dared make a judgment.
However, because He Yifan had too many supporters, just judging from the audience’s shouts, Ao Cangsheng was far inferior to the former.
Under countless blazing gazes, Ao Cangsheng and He Yifan both leapt onto the stage.
The Combat Platform was a hundred feet square. The two stood facing each other, more than twenty feet apart.
"Honestly, I hope you don’t die too fast."
Facing Ao Cangsheng, He Yifan said with a cold smile, his eyes full of contempt.
He didn’t say "don’t lose too fast," he said "don’t die too fast." It was clear that He Yifan had come to claim Ao Cangsheng’s life.
"Relax, I’ll give you a surprise."
Ao Cangsheng also smiled, his voice neither loud nor soft.
"Boom——"
With a thunderous boom, in an instant, Ao Cangsheng and He Yifan simultaneously released their Life Palaces.
Facing He Yifan, Ao Cangsheng didn’t dare be careless.
This was someone on the level of Shui Duanyun; even if there was a slight gap in strength, it wouldn’t be too big.
So from the very start, Ao Cangsheng released his Life Palace.
The five Life Palaces of the Imperial Palace realm manifested together, and not only did the whole Combat Platform fill with heavy, terrifying pressure, but even the people under the platform were instantly affected, their hearts tightening at once.
When everyone saw He Yifan’s Life Palace, they were all stunned.
Four-star Palace, three Four-star Palaces.
Although his Life Palaces couldn’t compare with Ao Cangsheng’s, don’t forget He Yifan was at the Celestial Cultivation level. He had three Life Palaces, while Ao Cangsheng only had two.
Even if two of them were stronger than three, they still couldn’t resist the suppression of pure numbers in the Imperial Palace realm. This was what many people thought.
Sure enough, under the confrontation between the five Life Palaces, Ao Cangsheng’s two Life Palaces clearly trembled slightly, then quickly retreated backward.
"Swoosh——"
Under the pressure of the Life Palaces, He Yifan suddenly moved, longsword in hand.
"Sword Emperor Absolute, Mad Python Swallowing the Sun!"
With this move, thousands of Swords suddenly rose from the ground beneath his feet, turning into a ferocious Sword Python that leapt at Ao Cangsheng.
Sword light and Sword Shadows everywhere, wind howling, heaven and earth losing their color.
"This is also Sword Emperor Absolute. He Yifan seems stronger than the others!"
Seeing this Sword, someone immediately shouted.
"Of course, otherwise He Yifan’s Celestial‑level Cultivation would’ve been for nothing!"
One person hadn’t finished speaking before another chimed in with a laugh.
This laugh wasn’t just contempt toward Ao Cangsheng, it was also affirmation of He Yifan.
"Swoosh——"
After He Yifan, Ao Cangsheng’s longsword moved as well.
He simply slashed down with his Sword. As it hovered in the void, thousands upon thousands of Sword Shadows appeared.
"Myriad Swords Traceless, One Sword Conceals the Sky!"
With Ao Cangsheng’s shout, the countless Sword Shadows in the empty air suddenly began to spin wildly.
In an instant, countless Swords turned into a Sword storm, colliding with the incoming giant Sword‑light python.
"Boom——"
With a loud explosion, the Sword Shadows were shattered by the storm, but that strange giant python still remained unbroken.
"Nice!"
With such an exchange, the audience instantly cheered.
Just when everyone thought this strike was the limit.
From within the countless scattered empty Sword Shadows, a single bright Sword suddenly shot out, hacking down at the Sword light on the python’s body.
"Boom——"
In an instant, the Sword light shattered and that strange python vanished.
The first round of exchanges ended in a draw.
However, before the Swords and blades dispersed, He Yifan’s follow‑up combo came crashing in.
"Sword Emperor Absolute, Flood Dragon Turnover!"
"Sword Emperor Absolute, I Alone Am Supreme!"
As He Yifan’s furious shouts rang out one after another, Sword light poured toward Ao Cangsheng like dikes breaking and waves crashing.
Some of these Sword lights went straight for the space between Ao Cangsheng’s brows and his heart, some viciously clamped down toward his throat, some swept at his waist, some stabbed at his heart.
The sharp Sword light almost covered all of Ao Cangsheng’s vital spots.
You could be sure that as long as even one of these Sword lights landed, most likely Ao Cangsheng’s life would end right here.
Facing the countless Sword lights, Ao Cangsheng hadn’t shown a hint of fear, but those spectators staring at the fight already had furrowed brows and gaping mouths.
They’d been waiting for this battle for a long time. Would it end in disappointment?
Just like that, even He Yifan couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed.
In a flash, his Swordsmanship changed; he no longer wanted to keep clashing Swords with Ao Cangsheng.
They saw the Sword light suddenly vanish, then surge out again.
"Demons and Monsters in Chaos!"
As He Yifan shouted, the originally pure, jade‑white Sword light suddenly turned pitch‑black.
The black Sword light split into four, with ghostly shadows and phantasms, falling from all directions onto the Sword Shadows in front of Ao Cangsheng.
"Boom——"
With this one cleaving strike, the originally surging Sword Shadows were completely chopped apart by the terrifying black Sword light.
At the same time, Ao Cangsheng’s body was blasted three zhang back.
"Demonic Chaos, Ghostly Pilgrimage!"
Before Ao Cangsheng could steady himself, another streak of black Sword light erupted.
Only this time, there weren’t just four black Sword lights—there were countless black Sword lights, like ghosts howling and laughing as they slammed into the Sword Shadows Ao Cangsheng had just unleashed.
"Boom——"
Ten thousand black Swords shattered the Sword Shadows. A Sword Shadow right in front of Ao Cangsheng suddenly broke, and the massive impact drove Ao Cangsheng, who had been proud of his five‑zhang footing, back another five zhang.
Seeing this scene, many people couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Right after, the side of Lingxiao Academy and the spectators supporting He Yifan all erupted in cheers.
But the people from Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School all turned pale.
After changing techniques, He Yifan had only used two moves to knock Ao Cangsheng into such a wretched retreat.
From this, it could be seen that at this moment Ao Cangsheng was already no match for He Yifan.
However, that wasn’t the main point. The key was that up to now, He Yifan’s overall momentum had been constantly rising, as if he had no intention of stopping at all.
This was what many clear‑headed people in Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts School were most worried about.
Just half a step more and Ao Cangsheng would lose.
