Chapter 922 - 383: The Battle for First Place (Part 3)

Yet, when Chu Ning released the first Sword Aura, the Fire Spirit Sword continued to strike.

It emitted several Celestial Fire Sword Techniques.

Following the attack was an enormous Blazing Spirit Bird, flickering with flames all over its body.

Since Jiang Cheng was already aware of Chu Ning’s attack methods, Chu Ning did not conceal the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird within the sword this time.

The sky was instantly illuminated in crimson red by the myriad Sword Auras and the colossal Fiery Sun Spirit Bird.

The display was truly astonishing!

Upon witnessing this scene, the observing cultivators showed expressions of surprise and gravity.

Previously, when Chu Ning injured Rong Daoping, although unexpected, many believed Chu Ning had luck on his side.

They felt it was somewhat unexpected.

However, at this moment, watching Chu Ning’s exceedingly sharp attack,

everyone vaguely sensed that such an attack couldn’t be easily stopped even in face-to-face combat.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze turned to Jiang Cheng, wanting to see how the sect’s top Golden Core Cultivator would respond.

They saw Jiang Cheng continuously tapping with the pen tip, and instantly, clusters of water appeared in mid-air.

Then, Jiang Cheng swung the pen across the air.

It seemed to link all the water clusters together, and instantly, each one expanded swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, a white spirit aura akin to a giant wave formed in front of him.

Jiang Cheng pointed, directing the giant wave to surge toward the crimson Sword Aura and Fiery Sun Spirit Bird in the sky.

Its momentum was equally immense.

In the blink of an eye, the crimson wave collided with the white wave, yet immediately stalemated again.

Subsequently, both began to fade.

Obviously, with the impact wearing them down, the power of both spells was diminishing.

However, whether it’s Jiang Cheng in the field or the other cultivators watching from the sidelines, everyone was surprised in the next moment.

Because everyone abruptly noticed that in this kind of contact, the white wave seemed to be dissipated by the flames more rapidly.

Water counters fire. With two spells of equal level, theoretically, the Water Attribute Technique should have some advantage due to the natural Five Elements restraint.

But this situation could only mean one thing.

Chu Ning’s spell power was stronger than Jiang Cheng’s!

"Chu Ning’s spell power is actually stronger than Jiang Cheng’s? Could it be that Jiang Cheng is not putting his full strength?"

"It should be, Jiang Cheng is striking again, perhaps now he will give it his all."

...

Everyone focused on the actions of the two engaged in Magical Combat in the arena, and quickly noticed Jiang Cheng’s left hand forming a spell while his right hand continued tapping the pen to gather spirit aura onto the white wave in front.

That white wave, gaining reinforcement, surged in might.

Yet the white wave ultimately could not engulf the crimson aura and fiery bird in the air.

Among the audience were Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators, who could now see that Jiang Cheng must have launched his strongest attack before.

Right now, he was only casting more spells to boost his Magic Attack Power to fend off Chu Ning’s attack.

Suddenly, they all felt surprised.

Because they knew if Jiang Cheng could do this, Chu Ning could undoubtedly do the same.

Indeed, at the next moment, they saw Chu Ning wielding the Red Fire Spirit Sword, continuously sending fireballs to join the Sword Aura and Fiery Sun Spirit Bird in front.

In the sky, crimson aura flourished.

The white wave, which had barely held its ground, began to dissipate at a rate noticeable to the naked eye.

Jiang Cheng in the field now wore an expression full of gravity.

Chu Ning’s spell attack power was a few shades stronger than he had imagined.

Injecting Magical Power swiftly into the pen, Jiang Cheng prepared to continuously cast spells.

If he couldn’t gain the upper hand in terms of spell power, he’d compare the density of Magical Power.

But just then, Jiang Cheng saw Chu Ning placing the Fire Spirit Sword before his chest while continuously casting spells.

"Is he going to directly use Magical Treasure attacks? His Magical Treasure is formidable."

Jiang Cheng was unwilling to use his Magical Treasure to forcibly withstand it, fearing damage to the treasure.

He was prepared to come up with a new move.

But he felt something was off.

Then Chu Ning didn’t directly manipulate the Flying Sword; instead, after casting several spells with both hands, he waved his hand to form an invisible wind that swept forward.

Wind and Fire Scorched Earth!

Yet it was the Top Level Technique Chu Ning previously learned from the Thunder Fire Sect!

With this technique enhancing, both the Sword Aura in the air and the gigantic Fiery Sun Spirit Bird suddenly surged in power!

Even before Jiang Cheng could react, flames swept the sky.

Crimson flame streaks directly shattered the white wave.

Several extremely sharp Sword Auras preceded, followed by the Fiery Sun Spirit Bird, rushing toward Jiang Cheng.

In the distance, Jiang Cheng saw and his face subtly changed, flickering as he escaped through Flying Escape.

To Jiang Cheng’s surprise, just as he emerged, a crimson flash instantly streaked ahead.

"It’s Chu Ning’s Magical Treasure Flying Sword!"

Jiang Cheng almost immediately understood, and couldn’t help being taken aback in his mind.

"Chu Ning accurately predicted my Escape Technique position, is it relying on some Secret Technique, or is his Divine Sense so strong?"

This thought flashed through as Jiang Cheng’s silhouette flickered, disappearing once more in place.

Simultaneously, Chu Ning’s form also vanished into a phantom at the original spot.

The next instant, where they both stood, each was pierced by a Spirit Sword and pen-shaped Magical Treasure.

"Huh?" Chu Ning was slightly surprised in his mind.

Jiang Cheng’s Divine Sense was indeed formidable; twice he could spot his Flying Sword attack.

Chu Ning could faintly understand why the opponent could suppress so many Golden Core Cultivators.

Due to his spiritual sense strength, many attacks Jiang Cheng could perceive ahead.

Of course, concerning true Divine Sense, Chu Ning vastly surpassed Jiang Cheng.

If he implements the God-slaying Technique, Chu Ning is absolutely confident of seriously harming the opponent.

But Chu Ning didn’t want to expose his true Spiritual Sense strength so easily at the moment.

As Jiang Cheng avoided the Fire Spirit Sword attack once more, then drove the pen-shaped Magical Treasure to attack,

this time Chu Ning no longer used Phantom Escape to avoid it.

He pinched a Sword Technique, causing the Fire Spirit Sword to swirl in the air, cutting toward that empty spot ahead.
