While pondering these matters, a new change unfolded in the battle on the stage.
Song Qing, who was slowly gaining the upper hand, finally built up a significant advantage. Under the onslaught of his increasingly swift sword strikes, Shen Tukuang's rhythm of circulating Inner Qi faltered, and within a punch that came crashing down like a mountain, he was only able to muster slightly over eighty percent of his Inner Energy.
This punch was powerful enough to kill ninety percent of Martial Artists at the Internal Qi Perfection level.
But for prodigies within the top ten of the Dragon and Phoenix List, it was a fatal flaw!
"Green Spirit Sting!"
Song Qing shouted ferociously, as his Inner Qi surged, and endless hazy Sword Qi converged at the tip of his sword, piercing through the heavy force of the punch. With a swift turn and a step, he lunged forward with an even swifter sword thrust, breaking through layers of defense and aiming for Shen Tukuang's throat.
"This is bad!"
