As the blade of energy shot towards Mu Feng, the boy raised his finger a circle in the air. Once he had completed the circle, a grey circle formed where he had drawn the circle.
'Negate.'
Hitting the grey circle the blade of energy stalled in the air for a second, before dissipating into the air. Seeing this phenomena Su Wu was shocked, but at the same time delighted. 'I don't know where he got these techniques from, but my blood is boiling!' Su Wu thought with a smile.
He then shot forward at extreme speed, the Skyward Sword drawing a wide arc as Su Wu slashed towards Mu Feng's side. The white blade of the sword shimmered under the light of the sun, its sharpness unmatched.
Naturally Mu Feng was no slouch. A shield appeared in the boy's hand which he then used to block the sword.
"Clink!"
Using the power of Su Wu's sword strike, Mu Feng created some distance between them before placing the shield back inside the spatial ring. "I am very impressed by your ability, but what surprises me the most is the amount of weapons you have. Are you secretly a rich young master?" Su Wu remarked an even wider smile on his face.
One had to note that each and every weapon Mu Feng had used thus far was of the Yellow Grade meaning they weren't exactly cheap, at least for the average person. For someone with Mu Feng's talents, he could earn enough to buy 5 of them in a day if he so wished.
"Of course not, I just collected some donations." Mu Feng replied succinctly before an odd orb appeared atop his right palm. It was about 2 centimeters in radius and yellow all over, and looked quite ordinary to the average person.
Unfortunately for Su Wu, that orb was no ordinary orb. Slamming it down on the ground a large cloud of smoke immediately formed atop the stage, to the point where it was impossible to see what was happening within.
"These two are actually very impressive, not only that but they seem to have some sort of relationship." Luo Niu said stroking his short beard. "Too bad they lack any and all etiquette, they didn't even bother introducing themselves to us." The man atop the emerald snake cut in.
"Oh shut up Yin Ru, what does etiquette matter they're clearly strong so they don't need to be polite." Luo Niu shot back. Luo Niu and Yin Ru were like fire and water, they had never liked each other ever since they met.
"What do you think Chen Meifeng?" The man atop the Violetflame Stallion inquired. Right now he saw sat atop his horse about 20 meters away from the woman who hailed from the Myriad Flower Sect.
"I am not in the mood Chu Xing." She replied in a cold tone of voice. Due to her veil no one could tell what her expression was so one could only go off her tone of voice.
Hearing this Chu Xing merely shook his head before patting his violet robes lightly. 'I hope one day we can talk like the old days.' Chu Xing sighed, before turning his attention back to the battle. It wasn't the time to dwell on the past.
Right now within the cover of the smoke, Mu Feng threw various projectiles at Su Wu. From throwing knives, to throwing stars, and even darts. Alas no matter what Mu Feng threw at Su Wu, the man deflected them with little to no effort.
One may ask how was this possible? Firstly for Mu Feng to throw all these projectiles accurately, and secondly for Su Wu to deflect so many attacks when he could barely see 30 centimeters ahead of him. The answer was simple, presence sensing.
When one's sensitivity to Qi in the environment reached a certain level, utilising the vibrations brought about by cultivators within the Qi one could ascertain their opponent's location. Rather than pure cultivation, this presence sensing ability relied more on one's comprehension ability which was why both Mu Feng and Su Wu could us it but Mu Feng could use it to a much greater extent than Su Wu.
This barrage of projectiles continued for a few minutes, bit by bit Mu Feng attempted to wear down Su Wu as much as possible. Unfortunately this was more or less an exercise in futility. Su Wu was not only stronger in cultivation but Mu Feng had also consumed Essence in a previous battle albeit a minimal amount.
Because of this after about 5 minutes elapsed the battle was already reaching its conclusion, as the smoke had already completely dissipated. Both Su Wu and Mu Feng seemed more or less fine, but that was only to the untrained eye. In reality this match could already be considered Su Wu's win.
Standing about 100 meters from one another the two locked eyes. 'I guess I'll have to use that.' Mu Feng sighed but before he could make another move, Su Wu suddenly let go of his sword and in the next instant it disappeared.
"You've done well, but this is the end." Su Wu declared, this was naturally because the Skyward Sword's blade was already touching Mu Feng's neck.
This display shocked everyone present. From the disciples atop their beasts, to the young masters present at the stage, to those in Arbor watching the battle, Wang Tian and naturally even Mu Feng who was on the receiving end of the attack.
'W-When did it reach me? I couldn't even react.... scary, really scary.' With that thought Mu Feng sighed lightly. "Its my defeat."
