Chapter 944: Stalemate

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yao Yu’s sword was beyond frightening. A beam of sword light shot over, as terrifying as if a real life comet was making impact.

As for Mo Wen, he wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear and bolstered it with the Blood Clotting Claw. His battle power skyrocketed, as well. The battle between the two of them resembled an asteroid crashing towards the Earth, furiously exploding in the night sky.

There was the dark of night, lightning, demonic stars, and crimson light.

It was all dazzling. At that moment, the spectators in the battle arena already could not clearly see the exact goings-on of the battle between the two of them. It seemed as if an earth-shattering calamity was occurring right before their eyes.

In order to block Yao Yu’s attack, Mo Wen used all his might to save himself. His three Glory techniques had all been honed to the second realm of the first stage. Only now did he display the true might of the three Glory techniques. His spear struck out and lightning filled the skies. The Glory of Thunder, combined with the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, was enough to knock Yao Yu back.

Unlike in the first realm, Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind was no longer limited to a body-movement technique. Instead, it could become a form of attack. In reality, the Star Emperor’s seven Glory techniques were all-encompassing. Each of them contained the essence of martial arts teachings. It would, naturally, be impossible for the profound laws of heaven and earth to only apply to movement techniques alone.

It was so for the Glory of Cloud, as well. Using the Glory of Cloud to unleash attacks, Mo Wen could be unpredictable and prevent his enemies from comprehending his movements. It was effective at breaking through the enemy’s defenses and injuring their weak spots.

The three Glory techniques were each proficient in a certain respect. For example, the Glory of Thunder was suitable for frontal bombardment with unparalleled power. The Glory of Wind could traverse a thousand miles in an instant, allowing one to break through the enemy’s defenses before they could respond. The Glory of Cloud was unpredictable, and could be used for both attack and defense as well as baffling the enemy.

When Mo Wen incisively unleashed his three Glory techniques, Yao Yu also started to have a headache. Because of the Devil King Armor, her power and defense were stronger than Mo Wen’s. She was a royal of the Fallen Angel clan. They were proficient when it came to speed, even surpassing the Blood Kindred. In terms of swiftness, she absolutely surpassed Mo Wen. She additionally wielded some incredible secret techniques and remarkable powers that were also her own domain type. However, in the end, it turned out that she still could not handle Mo Wen.

“Damn it!”

Yao Yu cursed softly. There was a look of frustration in her eyes. She was already trying her best, but she still could not defeat Mo Wen. This was already far from what she had imagined – namely, that she would defeat him with great ease. Could it be that she would be forced to attack him with no regards to herself?

In this battle, Yao Yu still held the upper hand. After all, on the whole, Mo Wen was still weaker than her by quite a bit. However, it would not be easy for Yao Yu to have a hope of defeating Mo Wen. The things that made Yao Yu feel helpless were Mo Wen’s Yin and Yang Qi and The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift.

The defensive power of the Yin and Yang Qi was quite astonishing. It was an ability that was unpredictable and, in addition, difficult to break through. Moreover, the Yin and Yang Qi was endless, and they complemented each other. It was notable for its endurance and durability. Even if one fought with cultivation and one’s Qi resources, it would be very difficult to outlast Mo Wen with his Yin and Yang Qi.

As for The Yin Yang Heaven and Earth Great Shift, it was a martial arts path. It was most effective for controlling the situation. It was also formless, and it could imperceptibly affect her attacks. Her speed and accuracy were changed and distorted. Because of it, Yao Yu was only be able to unleash at most 70% of her power when facing Mo Wen. One could only imagine how frustrating that was.

What made her speechless, above all, was that Mo Wen’s treasures and remarkable secret techniques were also out of the ordinary. Regardless of the area one compared them in, the differences between them were really small.

At some unknown point, the dark night, lightning and crimson glow receded. The snowy plain once again appeared before the eyes of the spectators. However, the combatants’ surroundings were already in shambles.

Mo Wen and Yao Yu stood across from each other. One wielded a long spear, and his peerless Celestial Body emanated unparalleled power. The other wielded an ancient sword, wore exquisite armor and was noble and elegant.

The two of them did not continue fighting.

“You are very powerful. Although I want to defeat you, I would need to reveal more of my trump cards in order to do so. It is not worth it.”

Yao Yu looked at Mo Wen with a deep expression. Her tone was, at long last, no longer so resolute. Mo Wen’s power had far surpassed her expectations. If she insisted on defeating him, she would most likely pay a high price. This was because, in this battle, she had already revealed many things. The members of the Huatian Palace and Gods Alliance most likely already had their eyes on her. If she revealed all her trump cards to defeat Mo Wen, she would be in a very precarious situation. It was not worth it.

After all, her enemy was not Mo Wen nor the Huatian Palace; it was the Gods Alliance. Only the Gods Alliance was willing to kill her at any cost. It was within the realm of possibility for them to send out all sorts of battle formations. The more she revealed her means of self-preservation to the Gods Alliance, the more danger she would be in.

“You are also very powerful. Of all the people that I have fought with, you are the most powerful one so far,” Mo Wen said calmly. Although he had met quite a few strong practitioners, even having met the Huatian Palace Grand Palace Lord, those people were on a whole other leel and would never exchange blows with him.

“How about we end this battle in a stalemate? Of course, it is not that I cannot win against you. It is just that I do not want to pay the price for doing so,” Yao Yu said plainly.

“I do not object to a stalemate. However, just because you have trump cards doesn’t mean I don’t also have some. Until the very end, who can say who is more powerful and who is weaker?”

Mo Wen knew, deep down, that Yao Yu was stronger than him. What she had said was not wrong. If they had continued to fight, he would most likely have lost. However, Mo Wen was not one to lower his head.

“I know that you still have some trump cards, such as the flame that you unleashed during the Heaven List Tournament. It would be a serious threat for me. But I am certain that, if I were to spare no effort, the one who would lose in the end could only be you.”

Yao Yu snorted softly. She was still somewhat unsatisfied inside. After all, she had initially wanted to furiously ravage Mo Wen. However, reason definitively won over her emotions.

“Right now, there is no point in us debating over it. We might have the chance to meet again. With your ability, you might have the opportunity to participate in the International Superpowers Competition. When that time comes, we can fight to our hearts content again to see who comes out on top, and we won’t stop until we do. How about it?”

Yao Yu spoke plainly. Initially, she had wanted to leave the Source World and return to Hell. However, because of the International Superpowers Competition, she was again staying put. This time, the Demon Gods Alliance was aiming for first place in the International Superpowers Competition. After the International Superpowers Competition, she would immediately return to Hell, so she naturally did not need to worry about the Gods Alliance assassinating her.

“If we end up meeting, I have no objections,” Mo Wen said with a nod. How could he not want to battle it out with Yao Yu?

…

In the end, this battle ended in a stalemate. Even though the winner was not decided, the events had been interesting enough. All the spectators in the battle arena yearned for more. In addition, they now had a deeper understanding of the practitioners from the western world. It turned out that the western world also had practitioners with amazing talents.

Originally, the ancient martial art practitioners from Hua Xia looked down on those from the western world. The former thought that the latter were all barbarians who lagged far behind the practitioners from their own country.

Besides, many Hua Xia practitioners of the ancient martial arts had become complacent and stayed on the beaten track, refusing to leave their territory and thus cutting themselves off from the latest news. As time passed, most of them came to think that the practitioners from the western world were weak and inferior to the Hua Xia practitioners.

As a whole, the power of the western world’s practitioners were indeed far inferior to Hua Xia. However, the western world’s practitioners naturally had their merits if they had been able to survive until the present day. Blindly underestimating them was not necessarily a good thing. Moreover, the main space and Inner World ancient martial art practitioners were the ones with a narrow point of view. Many of them did not even know of the Peng Lai Immortal Realm, yet alone the situation overseas.

“After this, let’s apply for Mo Wen to have a spot in the International Superpowers Competition. Didn’t they say that they would fight to see who’s really better during the International Superpowers Competition? I’m very curious to see who would win in the end.”

Mo Qingtian said this with a smile, revealing his intention to stir up trouble. Anyhow, given Mo Wen’s ability level, he was qualified to join the International Superpowers Competition.

“Yao Yu is not ordinary at all! She is right. If the battle had continued, the likelihood of Mo Wen losing would have been 99 percent or higher.”

Mo Qingge’s eyebrows furrowed. She didn’t say this with absolute certainty. After all, the future was unpredictable. Nobody dared to say how the ending would be until they came to it. However, Mo Qingge said 99 percent was no different from her saying that Mo Wen would surely lose.

“Indeed, Mo Wen is still lagging behind Yao Yu. But, elder sister, why are you worrying so much? How is Mo Wen’s victory or defeat relevant to you? Besides, didn’t they end up in a stalemate just now? You too are aware of Mo Wen’s rate of growth. We still have a few months before the International Superpowers Competition. Who knows? Maybe he can turn the tables by then.”

“I don’t have faith in others. But I put my faith solely in Mo Wen.”

Mo Qingtian rolled his eyes. Forget a few months even given just aone day, Mo Qingtian believed that Mo Wen was capable of increasing his cultivation by leaps and bounds. By the time the International Superpowers Competition came around, Mo Wen might not necessarily be weaker than Yao Yu.

Moreover, if Mo Wen lost, then so be it. What was his elder sister worrying about?

“Tian’er, after this, protect Yao Yu in secret. Don’t let anything happen to her, At least while she is in Dragon City.”

Mo Qingge did not continue on that topic with Mo Qingtian; she issued an order right immediately.

Yao Yu was simply outstanding. Mo Qingge was worried that the people from the Gods Alliance would not be able to wait and would straightaway attack Yao Yu in Dragon City. It was highly possible that the Gods Alliance would fight Yao Yu to death in order to eliminate a huge threat. As the person in charge of Dragon City, Mo Qingge, naturally, did not want that to happen. Since they were in Dragon City, they had to obey the rules of Dragon City. Regardless of the Gods Alliance and the Demon Gods Alliance, nobody could go against the rules. As for after they left Dragon City – then, they were free to do whatever they wanted.

“If the Gods Alliance has the courage to do something, I will kill whoever comes.” A glint of cold light flashed across Mo Qingtian’s eyes. The authority of the Huatian Palace could not be challenged. Regardless of the status of the other party, the Huatian Palace would not allow any exceptions. This was another reason that foreign practitioners rarely appeared in Hua Xia Country. Even when they were in Hua Xia, they kept a low profile.

…

“Did you record the battle just now?”

Stunning Snow rushed back to the hotel. As soon as she entered her room, she asked this question eagerly.

“Your Highness, the entire battle has been recorded. Not a second was left out,” the knight said respectfully. In his hands was a pearl which was emitting a divine halo. The pearl stored many recordings; it was the precious Recording Pearl. Ordinary cameras would not be able to record such fighting scenes; only this artifact could.

“Yao Yu…” Stunning Snow sighed. “I did not expect her to be so mysterious. To be honest, I admire her talents. However, since we are on opposite teams and we each have our own responsibilities, I have to do something. Take the Recording Pearl back to the Sacred Palace. Those in the Sacred Palace will follow up on this. If they hold any mission, most likely we will not be involved, either.”

Stunning Snow sighed. Such a formidable figure had actually appeared in the Demon Gods Alliance. Once the Sacred Palace knew about it, they would surely take action against Yao Yu. However, only God knew what the outcome would be.
