Lee landed heavily on the barrier, but with such force from Lee's body, the barrier only rippled and was back to normal.
"You bastard, I'm going to break all your bones!" Iron fist yelled angrily.
Lee stared watchfully at the latter, the previous attack had shaken him to his bones, though he didn't receive any serious injury, his body felt the power within the attack, if not for his recent body cultivation, that attack was enough to make his lose half of his strength.
"Rank three martial art!"
"[Tower of bloody steps secret art]"
"Wild stomp!"
Iron fist yelled as he stomped his left foot on the ground, immediately he did this, his body suddenly began to glow faintly, his muscles abruptly began to reduce in size, a wild growl escaped his lips as he stared hard at Lee with devilish intent.
"This lad forced Iron fist to make use of his Rank three martial art...this lad is very unlucky!"
"He his going to get smashed than I expected!"
"Iron fist!!!!"
The crowd began to cheer Iron fist, they had seen him use this art several times and they knew what it could do!
Lee frowned, the martial art Iron fist unleashed wasn't like the Martial arts they practiced that needed spiritual energy before it could be used well, the Tower of bloody steps seemed to depend on mystical blood.
In matches like this, martial arts within rank two and rank one could not do much damage, so the only option Lee had was to use [Eight mysterious seals sword art], he was cautious of making use of their secret sword art, though he could unleash a bit of it's power with just his comprehension, same as the [Eight mysterious seals sword art].
If he made use of [Shadow piercing Sword art], then it would be easy for anyone to know he was from Wateredge, but all the same as long as no one knows he is the one behind the mask, then he was not concerned, no one would suspect him, how would anyone believe he that just started cultivating a month ago is already in the fourth stage!
Iron fist took a step forward and like a flash he appeared in front of Lee, Lee was shocked stiff, not at Iron fist's sudden appearance, ever since the fight against Youngblood, his mind has always been at alert.
The reason why he was shocked was Iron fist leap in speed, his speed seemed to have doubled.
"Rank two martial art"
"Giant eagle claws"
Iron fist screamed has he shaped his gauntlets, like claws and pierced towards Lee's head.
"I'm going to pluck out your eyes, you disrespectful pest"
"You are the one who is the pest!" Lee snorted as he shook Blueflame and muttered slightly under his breath.
"Rank three martial art"
"[Eight mysterious seals sword art]"
As soon as this words left Lee's lips, the frigid energy on Blueflame vibrated slightly and in a flash began to coalesce.
The [Eight mysterious seals sword art] didn't depend too much on spiritual energy but rather, the cultivator's comprehension and sword totem, so the stronger the sword totem the stronger the attack power, that was why it was deemed difficult, because if you weren't talented enough you wouldn't comprehend it well.
The frigid energy around Blueflame had successful merged, the product was two sparkling rings that was emanating savageness, frigid energy was colliding inside of the ring like gas molecules trapped in a container.
"Wow, what type of martial art is this"
"This match is quite unpredictable!"
Lee held Blueflame with both hands, pulled his leg backwards and swung Blueflame towards Iron fist incoming claws.
All of this seems long, but it all occurred in few breaths, the moment when Iron fist unleashed his secret art till the point when Lee also unleashed the [Eight mysterious seals sword art] was shorter than ten breaths.
"Boom!"
Blueflame clashed with Iron fist's claw, a deafening sound echoed round the platform with visible metal sparks flying in the air caused by the collision from both weapons.
The two stood still for few seconds until, Iron fist took several steps backward and in the next moment began to cough out blood.
Lee took a step backward, and began to breath heavily, his face had become extremely pale, that attack had used all of his strength, enduring the force of Iron fist's attack had also strained him the more.
Lee was so sure that Iron fist was injured, apart from him spitting blood, he was sure the latter's palms would have been terribly damaged even under the protection of the gauntlets which would have also been damaged.
The [Eight mysterious seals sword art] was very powerful, he could feel the power behind the compressed frigid energy, but what made the attack more powerful was the strange energy that though Lee couldn't see, could feel was present in Blueflame.
Iron fist had shock written all over his face, even though they had both used rank three martial arts, he still was not with the upper hand in the match, he was the one spitting blood.
He felt something strange about the frigid energy that engulfed Blueflame it had this strange explosive energy in it, that kept injuring him.
Lee and Iron fist stared at each other as they breathed heavily, each lost in his own world of thoughts.
Lee was hoping Iron fist wouldn't try to fight again, though the man was injured, he might want to act deranged and not want to give up.
"I admit defeat!" Iron fist's coarse voice gently rang out. He was terribly annoyed that he lost to a youngster like Lee, but he had no choice his two arms was heavily damaged, they were his strength, though he was a brute, but at this point he had to be reasonable.
"Finally!" Lee sighed heavily, he was the most relived man in the universe.
"What!"
The crowd felt like they had heard wrong, did Iron fist just lose, the crowd felt as though their hero had just lost to an undeserving villain, but all of this was simply because of their money that they had lost.
