Just then Yang Feng heard the middle aged man's shout, "who dares to sneak attack this king, the Hammer King, Tang Hao!!"
Yang Feng who heard this, only had one instant reaction, "What?!!?!!!?"
Yang Feng was shocked after hearing the name of the man and thought, 'a gruff middle-aged man, using a giant hammer, has great accomplishment in hammer techniques and that name! Man! your in the wrong reality right now!!'
Suddenly Yang Feng felt an intense pulse of Qi that jolted him from his thoughts. The pulse was followed by, the now recognized as, Tang Hao's voice who shouted, "take this you low-lives! Great Sumeru Hammer!!"
Yang Feng, "...."
'it's final. This guy is that Tang Hao.... Wait, doesn't that mean that I can do what I wanted to do to him in my last life!', Yang Feng thought with excitement literally shining in his eyes.
Yang Feng looked ahead, his surroundings becoming slightly clear from the smoke that was begining to disperse, and felt a body speeding, or more like bolting, towards him rapidly.
He shook off all unnecessary thoughts from his mind and used his spear to deflect that body from colliding into him. He looked at the body and found out that it belonged to one of the 2nd Order Transcendants who had previously formed a group with two others. Yang Feng also found that the guy had died and most of his abdomen had sunk inside, having been crush by brute force.
"Well, you certainly didn't have a good time out there, did you.", He spoke while shaking his head after checking the situation of the man. He then firmly gripped his spear and sped towards where he felt the remaining contestants.
He bolted out of the remaining smoke and found out the current situation of the battle. Two of three remaining 2nd Order Transcendants were also heavily injured, nothing life threatening at least, while the last one was only lightly injured compared to the other two.
As Yang Feng came out out of the smoke near unscathed, except for a few scratchs on his skin while the rest had been heal. Not that he was even moderately injured anyway. The others looked at him, with the 2nd Order Transcendants faces became too ugly to even look at.
Yang Feng casually looked at them and spoke, "it's better that you three to give up now, unless you want to die or you're all secretly masochists."
The three's faces turned even uglier, if it was possible, when they heard this. But knowing their limits two of them chose to admit defeat, while the third one was still being a bit stubborn.
Yang Feng looked at the last one and shook his head, he wasn't concerned about him in the least as it would only take one attack to kill him easily and focused on Tang Hao who was glaring at him. "*Huee* let's do this, shell we."
A massive amount of Qi, Pressure and Killing Intent started to emit from Tang Hao's and Yang Feng's body. The next moment, all that pressure and killing intent instantly disappeared along with the figures of Yang Feng and Tang Hao.
Suddenly, the two appeared in the center of the field and their weapons collided, with Yang Feng's spear pulsing with intense dark red flames while his body released a great amount of bloodthirsty and excited aura.
Tang Hao on the other hand, had his killing intent and Qi infused into his hammer, which seems to have perfectly integrated into it. His arm muscles were bulging as he had a furious expression on his face.
The two then stepped back and revealed a smirk and disappeared again. They again started to exchange blow after blow, increasing the power like before but this time they started from where they had left off, from the power level of a 3rd Order Transcendant who had saintified his Qi.
On the side, the 2nd Order Transcendant who had not forfeited yet looked at the scene in front of him with shock, fear and unwillingness. When Yang Feng and Tang Hao ignored him just now, he felt deeply humiliated and thought of using another sneak attack when the two are tired, while cursing them for ignoring him and looking down on him.
Now, he was greatful that they ignored him and also understood that they were too powerful for them to even take him seriously. He could tell that even a single attack from the two would be enough to kill him.
He unwillingly spoke, "I forfeit" and was allowed to pass through the array barrier. Yang Feng had been paying attention to the man and after seeing him leave dejectedly just shook his head, It was always the most enlightening and at the same time dispairing to find out that you are not strong enough.
Yang Feng then shifted all his focus on the current battle and thought, 'time to get serious.'
He then suddenly increased his strength and speed compared to that of a 1st Order Saint. The sudden increase dumbfolded Tang Hao which resulted in him being thrown back and colliding with the barrier.
Yang Feng didn't give him any time and swiftly attacked him again, but it wasn't much of a success as Tang Hao overcame the shock and astonishment and started to counterattack, his strength also reaching that of a Saint.
Though the two were fighting with the strength of the Saints, it didn't mean that they could keep up the same record with an actual Saint (for others that is). Not to mention that Saints have more powerful Qi because of the Saintification process, they also have more heavenly laws integrated into their essence which gives them more resilient physique as well.
After a few minutes, Yang Feng had completely gauged Tang Hao's strength and again raised his strength a bit further. Tang Hao's eyes widened and he didn't have time to react before he was hit by Yang Feng's spear causing a deep wound to appear on his chest.
Yang Feng didn't stop and started to attack him from multiple sides and because of his speed Tang Hao couldn't react much. This resulted in him being thrown back and forth by Yang Feng as more and more wounds started to appear on him.
With a suddenly kick to the head, Yang Feng sent Tang Hao crashing into the ground. Yang Feng then looked at him from above with his spear in his hand. Tang Hao looked at him with bloodshot eyes as he stood up with his hammer in his hand.
He looked at his hammer which had many creaks on it from the multiple exchanges of attack between them. The hammer was Peak Transcendent Artifact and it was because of Yang Feng not fully utilizing the spear because of his low strength that it was still intact, otherwise it would have been broken after just a few exchanges.
Seeing his hammer in such a state, Yang Hao looked at Yang Feng murderously and started to charge an attack, using all his remaining strength into it, intending to kill Yang Feng.
Yang Feng felt it and spoke, "so a final strike huh? Let's go then.", he also started to gather his strength and inserted his Qi into his spear. After a few seconds the two were ready and flashed towards each other.
"Heaven Shattered!!" (Tang Hao)
Tang Hao's hammer shone with intense red light as an aura of destruction and killing intent exploded from it. As if intent on destroying whatever was in it's way, be it the heaven itself.
"Star Extinguishing Spear!" (Yang Feng)
The blade of Yang Feng's spear shone with white light, while the flames on it pulsed with even more momentum, combining with the white starry light. An aura of intense heat, power, killing and death erupted from the spear. As if the spear was sentencing the death of an entire star.
The two again collided with each other in the middle. But in just a second, Tang Hao's hammer started to collapse and break off. In just 2 seconds the hammer broke and was reduced to dust.
But the spear didn't stop and continued forward, piercing Tang Hao's heart and causing the energy from the spear to spread into his body. When the attack ended, a hole had appeared in Tang Hao's body.
Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed back, falling on the ground. As he fell, the formation around the field turned off and the referee's voice was heard.
"Aaaaand, that the finish and what a battle it was!! The battle in the 4th section is now finish and the last survivor iiiissss.... Yang Feng!!"
Yang Feng who heard this looked towards where he felt Xia Ning Chang's aura. As he did he saw her clapping and looking towards him with such tender eyes. Oh and Meng Wu Ya was also present.
But Yang Feng frowned slightly and thought, 'where's Su Yan? She should have been sitting with her.'
Yang Feng didn't have time to think about it as he again heard the referee, "Contestant Yang Feng can now retreat to his waiting room.", he sighed and retreated to the waiting room.
Just as he was about to exit the field, he saw something that made his eyes open wide in surprise. There in section 7, he saw that the entire field was frozen. With seven people also also frozen into ice sculptures.
The remaining 3 contestants were fighting or more like 2 contestants were fighting the 3rd contestant. "You have got to be kidding me, right? .... Well, looks like you're eager for a fight as well ..."
Yang Feng spoke while looking at the fairy like figure that fought the two remaining contestants with apparent ease. She then suddenly swiped her left hand upwards before clinching her fist.
In response to her gesture, ice chains rose from the frozen ground before getting a hold of one of the contestants before the chains tightened around him and froze him into an ice sculpture as well.
The figure didn't stop there and used the moment of surprise and used her sword, that she held in her right hand, to attack the last remaining contestant, making the sword go through the contestants throat, killing him.
The array around field 7 also went of as the referee spoke, "and the battle in section 7 has also concluded and the winner is..."
As if the figure felt Yang Feng's gaze on her when the array went out, she looked at him and saw his smirking face and smiled back.
Yang Feng smirk widened as he continued with the referee, "Su Yan./Suuu Yannn!!"
