Wang Baobao bowed slightly to Bi An, then slowly took out the Tiger Heaven Hook from his back. The sharp sword tip, two crescent moons, were held in front of him.
Bi An directly raised his hands. The demon beast's physical body was extremely strong, and its own flesh was their greatest reliance.
The Bi'Xi demon beast, with peerless physique, excelled in defense!
Wang Baobao's Tiger Heaven Hook struck horizontally towards Bi An. With a sudden stomp, he surged forward like a torrent, attacking Bi An.
With a single step, the Duel Stage remained undamaged. It could withstand experts of the Divine Mansion realm, so this Duel Stage was clearly extraordinary, a good item left by the Human King Mang.
"Boom boom~~"
The two crescent moons directly struck Bi An's turtle shell, sparks flying. Bi An closed his eyes tightly, and suddenly, his two hands transformed into his true form. His sharp claws, like long swords, lunged directly at Wang Baobao's chest.
Wang Baobao immediately bent his legs, creating immense force, instantly widening the distance between himself and Bi An.
Wang Baobao carefully analyzed Bi An's weaknesses, glanced at his Tiger Heaven Hook, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Bi An struck with a palm. Four claw marks tore through the void. The Bi'Xi's true form turned into a silhouette of light, firmly protecting Bi An. Bi An's body leaped into the air, and he unleashed a palm strike with the momentum of thunder striking the sea, surging with immense power.
Wang Baobao crossed his hands, holding the two Tiger Heaven Hooks in front of his chest. His body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, directly shattering the four claw marks. The two crescent moons instantly condensed on the Tiger Heaven Hooks, smashing Bi An's palm strike. A sharp hook-shaped light shot out from the shattered palm print.
The speed was extreme, as if breaking through the river of light. The tearing air produced sonic booms, making Bi An unable to open his eyes.
A beam of starlight was tightly blocked by Bi An's shell. Just as Bi An relaxed and extended his palm to strike Wang Baobao, another cold gleam sliced through the back of his neck, piercing deeply and locking onto his spine.
"Ch-ch~~"
Blood gushed out from behind the turtle shell at his neck. This scene happened incredibly fast; victory was decided in the blink of an eye.
As long as Wang Baobao applied a little force, he could directly strip the demon beast's flesh from its shell. At that point, Bi An would likely not survive. This scene caused the Bi'Xi elder by King Chu Liu Hong's side to involuntarily reach up and touch his neck.
Their prideful defense had become useless, even becoming a tool for the enemy to restrain them. This battle was no longer necessary.
Wang Baobao exerted upward force with his right hand, and the tiger hook on the other side of the Tiger Heaven Hook withdrew from Bi An's spine, slowly drawing out from his neck: "You lost!"
The moment the Tiger Heaven Hook emerged, Bi An felt a sense of relief and collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath. For thousands of years, no living being had been able to breach his defense and threaten his life.
Wang Baobao glanced at King Chu Liu Hong and turned, walking off the stage.
The spectators watched with disbelief at his dashing figure. In the cool weather, he wore a sable hat, a truly striking sight.
Thus, the first match concluded. Some martial artists blinked, having not even clearly seen the figures of the two before it was over.
"First battle, Great Han wins!"
"Please, both sides send out their second dueling personnel!"
Chu's Grand Tutor Liu Ao helped Bi An up and shouted loudly. Bright red blood continuously flowed from Bi An's body, indicating that Wang Baobao's hook had inflicted a serious wound.
Wang Baobao, who was at the fourth level of the Divine Mansion realm, did not, as everyone expected, fall immediately. Instead, he directly surpassed a minor realm, using a clever tactic to break through the formidable defense that the Bi'Xi demon beast relied on so heavily.
Within a few moves, he had completely resolved the match for the Chu side. Had Wang Baobao been a bit more decisive, Bi An would likely have bled out on the battlefield.
The two kingdoms were resolving the issue of Tianyue through duels to greatly preserve Tianyue's strength as a force to resist external enemies in the future.
"Alas, Chu is under a lot of pressure. If they don't win the second match, Great Han will conquer the entire world!" some martial artists supporting Chu tightened their hearts and watched the Duel Stage intently. This battle must not be lost!
"Stomp~~"
"Stomp~~"
At King Chu's signal, another Bi'Xi elder by his side walked onto the Duel Stage. He surveyed the crowd, then roared towards Great Han, his power at the fifth level of the Divine Mansion realm propelling his voice to resound in all directions: "I am Bi Lei, a sworn protector under King Chu!"
"General Yuchi, the weakness of this Bi'Xi demon beast lies in its limbs and neck!"
Wang Baobao looked solemnly at Yuchi Gong. He had experienced the defense of this Bi'Xi himself. His Tiger Heaven Hook couldn't even leave a scratch on the turtle shell, let alone break it.
"Thank you!"
Yuchi Gong, his face grim, stepped onto the Duel Stage and bowed: "Great Han General Yang Wu - Yuchi Gong!"
After Yuchi Gong and Bi Lei exchanged glances, they immediately adopted their fighting stances, the atmosphere plunging to an extreme.
"Boom!!"
With a raise of his hand, Bi Lei unleashed surging primal energy from within, instantly covering his head and limbs, protecting all his weak points. He stomped hard on the ground and shot forward, thunderclaps echoing. His hands instantly transformed into his true form, revealing sharp claws, with streaks of sharp primal energy entwined between them.
Yuchi Gong drew his twin whips from his waist. With a whip strike, he made the void tremble. Facing the sharp and fierce Bi Lei, Yuchi Gong was not flustered at all. He directly whipped towards Bi Lei's claws.
"Boom~~"
Yuchi Gong's twin whips possessed immense power and destructive force, shattering Bi Lei's primal energy shield and hitting his claws directly. Blood splattered, and Bi Lei's hands were covered in bloody gashes.
"Swish!"
Another whip strike whistled through the air. Bi Lei rapidly retreated, his body sliding slowly, exposing his entire back shell.
"Boom~~"
"Bang~"
A whip strike landed directly on the Bi'Xi's back. The violent recoil made Yuchi Gong's hand ache, and his twin whips buzzed.
"Swish!"
Another claw strike came, hitting Yuchi Gong's left whip fiercely.
"Hum~~"
The whip spun rapidly in his hand, deflecting Bi Lei's attack. Yuchi Gong's eyes focused, his killing intent surging. He swung his twin whips and leaped up, his entire primal energy rapidly condensing into the whips in his hands.
Yuchi Gong's expression was impassive. Whips were not about sharpness, but about destructive power to crush the opponent!
"Hah!"
Yuchi Gong's eyes suddenly widened. A massive dark golden phantom shadow appeared behind him. He reached his hands towards the void, and two enormous gray divine whips were revealed!
ps: Everyone, are Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the same league as Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong?
