Chapter 1810 Quarter Finals

Feng Baxing and Su Zian were the first ones in the quarter-finals.

Being the first ones among the top 5 to fight, the audience was rather excited about it. The hype was high and everyone was watching with baited breaths as the match started.

For the quarter-finals and above, there were more formation screens added all over the city and also in various establishments as everyone wanted to see the fights.

These would be the main fights with the strongest compet.i.tors thus no one wanted to miss it.

Lin Mu and his companions were also watching it at the Spring Valley Restaurant.

He wished to take this chance to learn more about Feng Baxing as he hoped that the man would reveal more of his skills fighting against someone who could actually force his hand.

But once the battle started Lin Mu was surprised to find out that, Feng Baxing was still fighting in the same manner as before.

His body was surrounded by a wind barrier while he merely used his hands to control wind blades to attack Su Zian.

Su Zian used a halberd as his main weapon along with his cultivation technique which was called as the Mystic Dragon-Tiger Revolution technique. The technique was a famous one and had been made by the founder of the Su clan.

There were even rumors that the cultivation technique had been made by the founder when he witnessed a great Celestial fight. The celestial was said to have the vitality of a dragon and the ferocity of a tiger when fighting.

It was reflected in the technique too, as Su Zian fought similarly.

Unfortunately, his match up against Feng Baxing was rather disadvantageous for him.

Feng Baxing was also quite strong, his barrier never allowing Su Zian within a hundred meters of him. Su Zian on the other hand tried attacking from afar too, but his attacks were blocked by the numerous wind blades that Feng Baxing launched.

Watching the fight, Lin Mu understood quite a few things. Especially since his immortal sense had also entered the Spatial Plane by now. This allowed him to sense the energy fluctuations as well as the Dao traces that were abundant in the area.

In there, the first thing that Lin Mu felt was the aura of Feng Baxing. It was contained within the very air and was being spread along with the wind.

Mixed into this was also his Wind Dao traces that were amplifying each attack. Though they were the densest around his wind barrier.

"So that"s why the barrier is so tough. It is being supported by Dao Traces of the Wind." Lin Mu understood.

Feng Baxing was someone who was good at ranged attacks while also being able to defend well thus Lin Mu knew he would have to get close to him to do any real damage. He had already seen Su Zian"s attacks and found them to be around the same level as himself as long as he limited himself to pure weapon skills.

"Su Zian"s skills are meant to be used on a battlefield in a war against an army… it doesn"t work as well against a singular strong opponent it seems." Lin Mu thought. "No… it can actually work, but he isn"t able to execute his skills well due to the wind interrupting him." He a.n.a.lyzed.

Only after observing for several minutes did Lin Mu realize, why Su Zian"s attacks seemed to be doing little in terms of damage.

Feng Baxing had actually been interrupting him at all times. Not just by attacks, but even by disturbing the Qi around him using his wind elemental immortal Qi mixed with the Dao Traces. Su Zian was unable to properly use his skills simply because they would be weakened before they were even executed.

This gave Lin Mu critical information that might have cost him his fight.

"I"ll need to watch out for that interference too…" Lin Mu noted. "Thankfully I have the perfect counter for it… I simply use my Body cultivation." He thought with excitement.

While Feng Baxing could interrupt skills and techniques, this was only when they utilized Qi. If one wasn"t using Qi in the first place, the interference wouldn"t matter in the first place.

Lin Mu could use the Tyrant Bull Marrow Secrets to the full to fight the man this way.

Plus since he hadn"t revealed his body cultivation openly so far, it would be working as a trump card too.

"Though that also depends on whether I face Yao Changying before that or not… I might have to use my body cultivation against her…" Lin Mu thought to himself.

Yao Changying"s sudden change and difference in skills had made it hard for Lin Mu to a.s.sess her true power now. And with her defeating all her opponents quickly, it didn"t allow Lin Mu to a.n.a.lyze her much.

"Maybe I would be able to understand more in her fight against Lu Xu." Lin Mu hoped.

But for the time being, he focused on Feng Baxing and Su Zian"s fight.

Nearly an hour had pa.s.sed by now, and it seemed like Su Zian was running out of immortal Qi.

His aura was unstable and his body had acc.u.mulated several injuries. The wind blades that constantly attacked him left cuts and wounds on his body, causing him to bleed nonstop. His vitality which was strong at first was slowly drained away, until he was starting to weaken.

And finally, when another thirty minutes pa.s.sed he met his defeat.

Feng Baxing mounted a stronger attack, trapping Su Zian in a tornado. By the time the tornado faded away, only the battered unconscious figure of Su Zian was left behind.

And that spelled the end of the fight.

"Feng Baxing has defeated Su Zian! He is the winner!" The enthusiastic announcement was heard, prompting the crowns to cheer all over the city.

"Guess that"s it." Qian Wen spoke, "Third Prince Feng Baxing is truly on another level."

"Indeed…" Lin Mu agreed. "Though that"s also what makes facing him exciting."
