Chapter 48

In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there.

At this moment, these two martial arts began to merge and elevate.

The enhancement of their power was self-evident.

However, at this time, Jingyan had no time to think more; he was about to be forced off the combat platform.

"Whoosh!"

Jingyan suddenly took a big step backward.

This step brought his body to the very edge of the entire combat platform. A little more, and he would be considered out of the platform.

Li Tianfu's eyes lit up slightly; he thought Jingyan was giving up.

Victory seemed within reach!

"Open!"

Suddenly, Jingyan let out a loud shout, his eyes shooting out a fierce light.

The black sword curtain, which was about to collapse, seemed to be infused with new vitality in an instant. The power of the sword light, in a fan shape, swept over Li Tianfu in the air, destroying everything in its path.

"What?"

Li Tianfu, of course, immediately felt the enhancement of the martial arts Jingyan was using. His eyes widened, and his entire body trembled in the air.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Li Tianfu's body, under the gaze of countless people, flew backward.

"No!" Li Tianfu shouted.

His body, while flying backward, suddenly plummeted.

"Thud!" His feet finally landed on the combat platform. At this moment, his body was roughly in the middle of the platform.

However, under the impact of the powerful force, although he successfully landed on the platform, the inertia still made him unable to control himself and continue to retreat backward.

"Stop!" Li Tianfu's blood seemed to boil.

"Clang!" The black long sword in his hand struck the combat platform heavily.

A burst of sparks splashed in all directions where the tip of the sword met the platform.

Everyone could see the sparks spraying in all directions.

Amidst the piercing friction, Li Tianfu still could not stop his body from continuing to retreat backward. A clear white mark was left on the ground of the combat platform.

The material used for the combat platform was very special, extremely sturdy. Not to mention a martial artist of the Ninth Level of Martial Dao, even a先天 (Xiantian) strong person could not destroy it. Only a Dao Ling strong person, with great effort, could possibly destroy this material.

Li Tianfu, of course, did not have the strength to embed the long sword into the ground of the combat platform.

Gradually, his body also reached the edge of the combat platform, still continuing to retreat.

"Ah!" Li Tianfu sighed, he sheathed his long sword, and he gave up.

He knew that even if he exerted all his strength, he could not stop himself from being forced off the combat platform. This battle, he lost.

The speed of his body retreating suddenly increased. In an instant, he fell off the combat platform and retreated several meters before barely stabilizing his stance.

"I lost." Li Tianfu looked deeply at Jingyan, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

However, he was straightforward and directly admitted his defeat to Jingyan.

At this moment, Jingyan, standing at the edge of the combat platform, finally revealed a smile at the corner of his mouth. Immediately, a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he ultimately could not completely suppress it. Blood still gushed out of his mouth.

This battle was too dangerous. He was almost defeated, but at the last moment, the fusion of martial arts reignited Jingyan's hope for victory. By forcefully activating his yuan qi, even at the cost of slightly damaging his martial arts meridians, Jingyan finally managed to force Li Tianfu off the combat platform.

After hearing Li Tianfu admit his defeat, Jingyan nodded at him.

"You are a formidable opponent, I am far inferior to you." After saying this, Li Tianfu turned and walked toward the contestant passage, his figure quickly disappearing.

"No!"

"Ah, impossible! This is impossible!"

In the first floor hall, after a brief silence of one or two breaths, a huge wave of noise seemed to want to lift the entire Extreme Combat Association building.

Who could have predicted that Li Tianfu would lose?

All of this was like a nightmare. Twisted faces, as if ready to devour people, were everywhere in the hall.

Even at this moment, many people still did not believe that Li Tianfu had lost, defeated by Jingyan, who was only at the Seventh Level of Martial Dao.

Their heavy bets on Li Tianfu were gone!

Many people were bankrupt!

"Ah ah ah..."

In the private room, Zhao Dengtian, in a state of madness, with bloodshot eyes, let out a hysterical roar.

He did not know why Li Tianfu lost like this, watching Jingyan, who was about to lose, make a comeback and defeat Li Tianfu. Zhao Dengtian could not accept it.

Two ten-thousand spirit stones, gone! Just like that, gone!

"I don't believe it!!!" Zhao Dengtian, like a madman, rushed out of the private room.

"Master!" The old man with the green beard was also somewhat dazed. He suddenly saw Zhao Dengtian rush out of the private room to the combat platform area and quickly shouted, rushing out to follow.

In the Extreme Combat Association, if something inappropriate was done, the consequences could be even worse. His young master of the Zhao family was clearly losing his reason at this moment. It seemed he was going to find Jingyan for a reckoning.

The old man with the green beard had personally witnessed Jingyan's strength. Although he was at the Seventh Level of Martial Dao, he was absolutely not someone his young master could match. If Zhao Dengtian attacked Jingyan and was killed by him, he himself would probably not be able to save his life. Losing two ten-thousand spirit stones could still save his life, but if his young master's life was also lost, his fate would be even more tragic than death.

"Hmm?" Ran Qi was also in extreme shock.

When she saw Zhao Dengtian rush onto the combat platform, her beautiful eyes flickered, and her figure flashed, disappearing from the room.

On the combat platform.

"Jingyan, you... you can't defeat Li Tianfu, you can't be that strong. You must have used some means. You despicable bastard, you made me lose two ten-thousand spirit stones, two ten-thousand spirit stones! I will kill you!" Zhao Dengtian's eyes were bloodshot, he rushed at Jingyan, the long sword in his hand fiercely stabbing at Jingyan.

"Looking for death!" Jingyan let out a low shout.

The sword curtain directly swept toward Zhao Dengtian.

Even though Jingyan's martial arts meridians were damaged and he could not use too much yuan qi, he was still not someone Zhao Dengtian could match. The black sword curtain swept over, and Zhao Dengtian was directly thrown out, with no room for resistance.

Zhao Dengtian, at the Seventh Level of Martial Dao, fell off the platform like a dead dog, with a "thud."
