Free Web NovelChapter 2208: Chapter 2209: A Draw! Second Update
Since the Taiyi Saint Heir came out of seclusion, the Stone Demon Lord, Wanderer, and others have also followed suit.
Yet, no one has stepped onto the Supreme Saint’s dueling platform to compete.
Perhaps it is because young prodigies who have reached the level of Supreme Saints each have their own concerns. They understand that losing on the duel platform means more than just losing some military merit points; their previous fame could be obliterated in an instant.
Out of a desire to protect their reputations, no one was willing to step forward.
Few, like the Taiyi Saint Heir, would directly issue a challenge to engage in a life-and-death duel on the platform with Ye Qiu.
Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng awaited Ye Qiu’s emergence, but instead of Ye Qiu, it was the Beast God and Luo Fu who came out.
The Beast God and Luo Fu, upon hearing about the duel platforms set up in the ancient city, both showed keen interest.
"Let’s go take a look," the Beast God suggested.
Subsequently, they arrived at the duel area. Seeing the presence of Supreme Saints like the Beast God and Luo Fu, many were attracted, especially noting that they were accompanied by Jin Shanshun and Qin Feng.
This led many to instinctively think that the Beast God and Luo Fu might have been brought by Jin Shanshun to challenge the Taiyi Saint Heir.
Gazing at the duel platforms all around, the Beast God and Luo Fu were very intrigued.
"I wonder if anyone is willing to duel with us if we go up there," the Beast God chuckled.
Now, having reached the level of a Supreme Saint, the Beast God was no longer the little girl she once was. She now had the bearing of a mature woman, and perhaps due to her power, she exuded a special aura.
"You’ll only know if you try," Luo Fu said. "Have you thought about who you’d like to spar with?"
"That guy is planning to face off against Little Ye on the life-and-death platform. Naturally, I should assess his strength for Little Ye. Since it’s a spar, I might as well choose the strongest," the Beast God replied.
Luo Fu gave a thumbs-up: "That’s brave. Since you’ve chosen such a powerful target, I can’t go with someone too weak either!" With that, Luo Fu glanced around, his eyes landing on a distant figure as he smiled, "My target has arrived. Looks like I’ll have to take the stage first."
The Beast God followed his gaze and saw the crowd parting to reveal a figure slowly approaching. The figure seemed to sense Luo Fu’s fighting spirit and locked eyes with him.
Stone Demon Lord!
The Beast God was slightly taken aback. She was to face Taiyi, and Luo Fu was to face the Stone Demon Lord. Were they avenging Ye Qiu’s previous encounter, when he was besieged by the two?
"Stone Demon Lord’s Holy Son, do you dare to face me on the platform?" Luo Fu said calmly.
With those words, Luo Fu was already flying up to the duel platform.
The Stone Demon Lord squinted slightly. To refuse a public challenge would indeed be shameful.
"You want to fight? Then I’ll fight alongside you!"
Without hesitation, the Stone Demon Lord stomped his foot and leaped up to the platform, standing opposite Luo Fu.
With people finally engaging on the Supreme Saint’s duel platform, the surrounding Martial Artists grew excited. Today, they would witness a battle between Supreme Saints with their own eyes.
When the demon wave broke out previously, although Supreme Saints like Stone Demon Lord and Luo Fu dealt with abyss demons, everyone had seen them in action. But fights between Supreme Saints like them were truly rare, and everyone was curious about the sparks that would fly in such a high-level duel.
"This battle is bound to be thrilling, between two Supreme Saints."
"The Stone Demon Lord is second only to Taiyi. If Luo Fu wants to defeat him, it might be quite challenging."
"I’m not so sure. I think anyone associated with that Ye Qiu brings some uncanny luck. Jin Shanshun was an example; who can guarantee that won’t happen again?" someone remarked, finding it hard to predict the outcome.
"Indeed, if he’s bold enough to publicly invite the Stone Demon Lord to the platform, he must have considerable confidence in his strength and probably is very powerful."
In recent days, encounters between ordinary Saints had been witnessed too many times, but fights between Supreme Saints had never been seen. It was uncertain who would ultimately win.
Everything would be determined after they clashed.
Betting started again, with people placing wagers on the side they thought might win.
Meanwhile, news of the upcoming battle between the two Supreme Saints spread rapidly.
Those who originally thought the duel area spars were too boring all rushed over in the first instant, afraid of missing out on this fight.
Soon, Taiyi, the Wanderer, the Turquoise Pool, and the newly promoted Supreme Saint Chou Tian all arrived, followed by second-tier Saints like the Wanderer Holy Son and the Lieyan Holy Son.
The area below the platform was nearly packed; this battle drew significant attention.
"I bet all the young Martial Artists in the ancient city have come," someone commented.
"I believe the Order Enforcers are watching this scene too."
"Hurry up and fight, I can’t wait any longer," said another anxiously.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Stone Demon Lord and the Beast God made their moves, instantly emitting blinding light and incredibly terrifying energy fluctuations.
The energy shield surrounding the duel platform erupted with light several times, seemingly struggling to withstand the intensity of their battle.
"Incredible!"
"So powerful!"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was amazed by their duel. Supreme Saints fighting were terrifying; it seemed that an ordinary Saint would be defeated in a single blow.
Both the Stone Demon Lord and the Beast God, at the level of Supreme Saints, were already beyond the initial stage of attaining such power. After being tempered by more than a month of demon wave battles, they had gained significant combat experience. Once the demon wave ended, they quickly went into seclusion, transforming their potential into power and continually growing stronger.
Now, to the eyes of first-tier Martial Artists, their display of power seemed quite normal.
The weak watched for entertainment, the strong sought insight.
As Taiyi, the Wanderer, and other Supreme Saints intently watched the battle ahead, they all showed surprise, followed by deep focus and frowns.
Suddenly, the light shield dimmed, and the sound of the battle within ceased.
Who won?
This was the question everyone wanted to answer, and even Taiyi and the Wanderer already knew the result.
Their eyes involuntarily fell on Luo Fu.
No one had expected Luo Fu’s strength to have reached such heights. Previously unseen, now, after a tie with the Stone Demon Lord, it turned out he fought him to a draw!
This duel had no winner, as it ended in a tie.
At that moment, both of them on the duel platform were utterly exhausted, collapsed on the platform, unable to defeat each other.
When this result was announced, everyone was dumbfounded. A tie!
It was a tie!
Many were shocked; this was the first time a tie occurred, especially at the level of Supreme Saints.
However, many Martial Artists still gave resounding applause, appreciating the thrilling battle presented by the two.
Strong beings deserve respect!
