Chapter 61 The Ice Kingdom Competition (4)

The venomous snake was renowned for its unique poisonous techniques, each strike potentially fatal, while Ren Qixing countered with steady swordsmanship, his sword flashing like a dense, impenetrable weave. As the battle progressed, the venomous snake gradually revealed a hint of complacency, believing its poisonous techniques to be invincible, and began to become somewhat careless.

Just then, Ren Qixing seized the opportunity. He suddenly unleashed a masterful swordsmanship move, finding an opening in the venomous snake's defense with his sword tip, and thrusting out. Although the venomous snake reacted quickly, it was ultimately a step too late; the sword tip grazed his arm, drawing a flash of blood.

The viper then realized its mistake, but it was too late. Ren Qixing gave the viper no chance to breathe, launching a series of attacks. In the end, the viper was defeated, and Ren Qixing won this evenly matched battle.

"Ren Qixing wins the sixth match of the Ice Kingdom competition."

"The seventh match is between Ren Qifeng, a fourth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and Wang Zhouzheng, a third-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Please bring your opponents to the stage."

Only fifteen minutes had passed...

"In the seventh match of the Ice Kingdom competition, Ren Qi won by a madman."

"Match 8: Black Serpent, a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator, versus Mo Yanying, a sixth-level Nascent Soul cultivator. Please bring your competitors to the stage."

Yun Muhan: "Fellow Daoist Fan, who do you think will win?"

Fan Chen: "I think Mo Yanying will win. Although he is only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, he is recognized by the martial arts world as the future of fire element and is also the young master of the Fire Kingdom. As for that Black Serpent? I don't know much about him."

Yun Muhan nodded and turned his gaze to the arena, where Mo Yanying and Black Snake were already standing at opposite ends.

Mo Yanying wore a fiery red robe embroidered with flame patterns, making him stand out. His gaze was resolute, and the top of his staff was inlaid with a fiery red gem that emitted a blazing light.

Black Serpent was clad in jet-black armor, a black serpentine weapon coiled around his waist, and his eyes held a chilling glint. Although he was only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, his strength was not to be underestimated, as his cultivation was one level higher than Mo Yanying's.

The moment the referee announced the start of the match, Black Serpent moved swiftly, his figure like a shadow, rapidly approaching Mo Yanying.

At the same time, the snake-shaped weapon in his hand seemed to be alive, flicking its tongue, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.

However, Mo Yanying remained calm. He simply stood still, gently waving his staff, and a fiery red halo rapidly spread out from him. This was his defensive spell—Flame Ring Protection—capable of withstanding a certain degree of attack.

The black snake's serpentine weapon struck the flame ring, producing a hissing sound, but it failed to penetrate Mo Yanying's defense. A hint of surprise flashed in the black snake's eyes, clearly not expecting Mo Yanying's defense to be so solid.

Just then, Mo Yanying moved. He chanted incantations, and the fiery ruby ​​at the tip of his staff suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. Immediately afterward, a massive pillar of fire erupted from the staff, shooting straight towards the black serpent.

"Explosive Flame Technique!" Mo Yanying shouted, his voice filled with confidence.

"That's Mo Yanying's signature move, 'Exploding Flame Technique'."

Upon seeing this, Black Snake's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly tried to dodge, but the speed of the exploding flames was too fast. He only had time to hold his snake-shaped weapon in front of him.

However, the power of the explosion far exceeded his expectations. The serpentine weapon was instantly destroyed by the impact of the explosion, and Black Serpent was also sent flying, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena.

A hush fell over the entire arena; everyone was stunned by the power of Mo Yanying's attack. The black snake struggled to its feet, but it was clear it had lost the strength to fight any further.

The referee immediately announced: "Mo Yanying wins the eighth match of the Ice Kingdom competition!"

Yun Muhan looked at Fan Chen and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Fan, your judgment is indeed excellent. That Mo Yanying is no simple man."

Fan Chen smiled and nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes: "Yes, Mo Yanying's control over fire elements is indeed amazing, and his future is promising."

"The ninth match is between Mo Heiyue, a Nascent Soul Stage 8 player, and Qing Guimian, a Nascent Soul Stage 7 player. Please bring your opponents to the stage."
