I Can Devour Spirits

Standing beside Shen Mizi, Xia Shuangshuang had different thoughts. For him, this opening was quite favorable. A duel between two Great Success Realm individuals meant her pressure was significantly reduced.

Xiao Yu looked worriedly at Duan Rong on the stage. Her unarmed left hand clenched subconsciously. Tao Rong was also of the Great Success Realm, and she feared Duan Rong might get hurt.

Meanwhile, Ximen Kankan watched the stage with a carefree demeanor. He had great confidence in Duan Rong, even though he himself was in the Great Success Realm. He knew clearly that he couldn’t defeat Duan Rong at all.

He often sparred with Duan Rong last year, but never won. And the more they sparred later, the more intense his sense of defeat grew until he ultimately gave up.

Duan Rong stood at one end of the Plum Blossom Stakes, looking at Tao Rong at the other end. Tao Rong displayed arrogance and formidable strength, but thankfully, he considered this better than encountering Xiao Yu.

He would rather fight a tough battle than face that awkward situation...

After flipping onto the Plum Blossom Stakes, Duan Rong stood there, not moving for two breaths.

After watching Duan Rong for a while, Tao Rong’s figure suddenly flickered as he drew his saber to slash at Duan Rong!

Before the match, Tao Rong had set his goal to win three consecutive matches and directly advance!

Now this goal was within reach, as long as he could defeat Duan Rong in front of him.

Although arrogant, Tao Rong’s heart remained calm at this moment, like a leopard beginning its hunt, with only the prey in his eyes!

Duan Rong had already reached the Micro Realm a long time ago, and what’s more, he possessed the ability of Divine Sense. If he decided to fight openly, he could defeat Tao Rong within ten moves!

But Duan Rong didn’t want to unlock more of his strength in front of the crowd. He planned to wear Tao Rong down slowly!

Duan Rong’s strategy was simple: he used Divine Sense to see through Tao Rong’s attacks and continuously evade in the most Inner Breath-efficient manner.

Once Tao Rong’s Inner Breath was nearly depleted, Duan Rong would launch a surprise attack to claim victory!

As Tao Rong slashed with his saber, Duan Rong used Divine Sense Penetration, having already seen through Tao Rong’s Inner Breath maneuvers. With a shake of his body, he dodged to the right.

Tao Rong attacked with several consecutive cuts, but Duan Rong easily dodged them all, not even drawing his saber yet.

Tao Rong stared at Duan Rong in anger, asking, ”Where is your saber?”

He was typically arrogant, yet Duan Rong wasn’t even willing to draw his saber, which showed even greater arrogance.

Duan Rong sneered, ”My saber drinks blood, not wind!”

”Whose saber drinks wind, you bastard?!” Tao Rong’s face darkened, and he slashed towards Duan Rong again.

Duan Rong was indeed taunting Tao Rong.

Cutting several times without even touching Duan Rong’s hem was no different than drinking wind!

However, these cold words were meant to irritate Tao Rong, prompting him to attack more fiercely!

In that manner, when he eventually came to his senses, it would probably be too late!

The spectators felt Duan Rong was being overly self-confident, constantly evading in front of an opponent of the same realm. Only the attacker could hold the initiative, and incessant evasion could lead to utter ruin if not careful!

Even Xiao Zongting shared this view, watching Duan Rong with intense curiosity.

But unlike others who thought Duan Rong was being reckless, he believed Duan Rong had purpose in his actions.

After several rounds of fierce attacks, Tao Rong still hadn’t touched Duan Rong’s hem, and by now, his breath was already chaotic.

Tao Rong’s heart grew cold as he realized that continuing this way led him to a state of inevitable defeat!

His attacks couldn’t be fiercer than the previous rounds. Since Duan Rong could dodge those rounds, how could his subsequent attacks harm Duan Rong?

While Duan Rong conserved his effort, under the cycle of decrease and increase in strength, how could Tao Rong respond?

Suddenly, Tao Rong’s gaze sharpened, and he swung his saber horizontally towards Duan Rong once more!

As Tao Rong’s saber moved, Duan Rong’s figure flashed sideways, but at that moment, Tao Rong suddenly extended his left hand and released several long, thin flying sabers, which gleamed coldly, shooting towards Duan Rong’s path.

Duan Rong smirked coldly. He was aware of Tao Rong’s Hidden Weapon Technique, demonstrated at the City God Temple fair during the prayer board hanging.

Moreover, Duan Rong had already swept the flying sabers hidden in Tao Rong’s sleeve with his Divine Sense.

Without changing his course, Duan Rong swung the sheathed Cow Tail Saber during his body movement, aiming to hit the flying sabers.

But at that moment, the middle flying saber among them suddenly exploded, scattering three thinner throwing darts aimed directly at Duan Rong’s face!
