Chapter 2484 - 1978: The Loneliness of Masters

First update, seeking subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

"Both sides injured?"

Many couldn't help but exclaim, stunned by the scene.

At this moment, Qin Fang still stood like a mountain, but his body was stained red with blood... You could still see a blood arrow slowly splattering from his back.

This clearly shows that Li Wuhua's Celestial Sword Technique did not miss and indeed hit Qin Fang.

As for Li Wuhua on the other side, his situation wasn't much better...

He was sent flying towards the edge of the stage, with blood splattering from his back along with him... It was clear that Qin Fang's Vitality Secret Sword had pierced through his Cold Ice Aura and his body, sending him flying.

"Goodness, neither of them benefited from this..."

Seeing such a scene, many couldn't help but sigh.

Judging by their wounds, it seems neither gained any advantage, and their injuries are similar... Li Wuhua appeared worse off mostly because the impact of the Vitality Secret Sword was too strong, even he couldn't completely disperse the force.

At least after Qin Fang's Vitality Secret Sword, he didn't strike again because he needed some time to recover his expended strength...

Li Wuhua was the same, struggling to perform the Shift Position Technique, standing at the edge of the stage, clutching his shoulder wound. His face was somewhat pale, yet the fighting spirit in his eyes was even more intense.

"I didn't expect I still underestimated you..."

Li Wuhua got a pill from his bosom and swallowed it, repairing his wounds... A shoulder hit, if not treated in time, might affect the flexibility of his arm, and more severely, his strength could be compromised, not to be underestimated.

However, even more surprising to Li Wuhua was that Qin Fang recognized his true self among hundreds of "Flying Immortals" and used the terrifying attack power of the Vitality Secret Sword to break his defense and heavily injure him.

"The feeling is mutual..."

Qin Fang also took out a few silver needles from his body, quickly sealed the acupoints around the wound, stopping the bleeding and suppressing the injury... He didn't take any pills.

At least, in outsiders' view, his position in the Kunlun Sect wasn't comparable to Li Wuhua's in Tianwai Tower... These invaluable pills aren't the kind you can swallow like candy!

But those truly informed were looking at Qin Fang with a strange expression, vaguely feeling that he was up to something... Or rather, Qin Fang was surely trying to lull Li Wuhua, waiting for a chance to surprise him.

Speaking of injuries, Qin Fang was also hurt in the shoulder...

However, his injury was closer to the arm joint, so at this moment, his arm was drooping, seemingly numb... Even if it could still be used, Qin Fang likely wouldn't utilize it.

In such a duel, unless Qin Fang admits defeat, he isn't allowed to leave the stage, nor is anyone else allowed to enter... Even if Qin Fang's arm is in danger, such actions are prohibited!

This means that in the upcoming matches, Qin Fang can only use one arm...

Forcibly using the other arm might worsen the injury, leading to severe consequences... It could even permanently damage the arm, which for a martial artist is a fatal injury.

"Qin Fang, I must admit... You are the first opponent I've encountered in so many years!"

After taking the pill, Li Wuhua's complexion improved, recovering some color, and his arm could move simply, leaving no sequelae... However, his gaze at Qin Fang was filled with admiration.

For masters, the invincible state is also a kind of loneliness!

There was a time when Li Wuhua felt this kind of loneliness...

Although there are several Supreme Realm powerhouses in Tianwai Tower, that's a matter of level suppression, completely lacking the thrill of this duel... Only such strong stimulation can make one progress faster and stronger.

Since the last Five Sect Contest, Li Wuhua claimed third place and advanced into Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm to reach Great Grandmaster Level... He then sought out his previous two defeated rivals, beating them with absolute superiority.

Since then, Li Wuhua has had no opponents...

He was lonely for a whole five years!

He originally didn't plan to participate in this year's Five Sect Contest... Because such predictable matches couldn't pique his interest, if it weren't for Emperor Kuang's command, coupled with his senior brother's request, he truly wouldn't have come.

Seeing those familiar faces, Li Wuhua felt quite bored and couldn't muster any interest... Even Monk Wu Fa, who was touted as second only to him, was defeated two years ago with ease, without even using his trump card.

But...

The terrifying power unleashed by Qin Fang's Vitality Secret Sword during his battle with Dragon Elephant Dharma King was a real eye-opener for Li Wuhua.

It was at that moment that he regarded Qin Fang as his opponent for the finals...

Originally, Dragon Elephant Dharma King barely had that qualification, but unfortunately, he lost to Qin Fang and was severely injured by Qin Fang's Vitality Secret Sword, leaving him unable to return to peak form in this tournament.

Without peak form, Dragon Elephant Dharma King is unable to defeat Li Wuhua...

Therefore, the only opponent became Qin Fang... a young talent who is nearly half Li Wuhua's age and whose realm is one major level lower than his!

It must be said that even before the competition officially began, Li Wuhua had already paid considerable attention to Qin Fang.

He had already showcased his trump cards, including the Shift Position Technique, Cold Ice Aura, and Celestial Sword Technique... and had forced Qin Fang to reveal almost all of his techniques, such as the Flame Giant Blade, Vitality Secret Sword, and others.

However, the result was somewhat unexpected for Li Wuhua...

He had believed the battle to be over by now, but unexpectedly, Qin Fang was still standing there, appearing to be more severely injured... Yet for Li Wuhua, who typically wins with ease, he was actually at a disadvantage.

Bear in mind, Qin Fang's realm is one level lower than his, and he is much younger...

"You're the same..."

Qin Fang did not know what Li Wuhua was thinking at the moment; he courteously but firmly responded, "If you intend to defeat me with words, I'm afraid that won't be possible..."

Clang~~

Despite the injury to his arm, Qin Fang still had the use of one hand. With a slight flick of the wrist, the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in his hand emitted a clear dragon roar. Although wielding the sword with his left hand was somewhat sluggish, he could still effortlessly produce several sword flowers, appearing not too impaired.

Clang!!

Li Wuhua, unwilling to back down, likewise flicked his wrist, his treasured sword responding with a clear dragon roar... Everyone knew he was left-handed and also suffered an injury to his right shoulder, which slightly affected his right arm, but its influence was negligible.

Given such injuries, it led everyone to feel Qin Fang's chances of losing were quite significant...

However, a few individuals had rather peculiar expressions, such as Monk Wu Fa, Jian Qingfeng, and Ye Xiang... If they remembered correctly, Monk Wu Fa had previously told Qin Fang that Li Wuhua's true prowess might be his right hand!

Therefore, they had every reason to believe that Qin Fang's Vitality Secret Sword deliberately avoided attacking Li Wuhua's left shoulder and instead targeted the right shoulder, purposely catching Li Wuhua off guard!

"You're my opponent, so... I don't want you to be defeated by me so easily! Next, I will unleash my strongest technique!"

Unaware of Qin Fang's tactic, Li Wuhua nevertheless remained a respectable adversary.

Though he could easily defeat Qin Fang in his current state using simpler methods, he chose to employ his strongest move... This way, even if Qin Fang were to lose this duel, he wouldn't feel unjustly defeated.

"I feel the same!"

Qin Fang's voice was cold and calm, lifting his Flowing Shadow Divine Sword slightly and simply responding... But his gaze grew more resolute, and his aura suddenly became explosively fierce.

"Hiss..."

Many could not help but gasp at the horrifying aura Qin Fang suddenly emitted, even Qing Xu Lao Dao furrowed his brows.

"Old Niu, that Qin Xiaozi... seems to have just entered the Master Level Peak not long ago. Why do I feel like he's about to breakthrough soon?"

Leng Cuiyun couldn't help but mutter from the side.

Based on the aura Qin Fang was currently exuding, it was clear he had reached the critical point of Master Level Peak, requiring only a simple step to advance to Great Grandmaster Level... And achieving a breakthrough independently or with external aid makes a significant difference.

One can find considerable insight from Leng Bingbing...

With power breaking through to Great Grandmaster Level, Leng Bingbing, post-advancement, surpasses peers of the same level both in personal strength and growth rate by more than one or two grades!

Thus, seeing the situation Qin Fang is in, Leng Cuiyun's statement serves as a reminder to Qing Xu Lao Dao.

Entering the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm for cultivation has many benefits, but if Qin Fang can achieve an independent breakthrough outside, it's better to stay outside... Throwing him into the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm might actually harm him! (To be continued.
