While Ling Yun and Jiang Chen were already exchanging blows, the two women also continued to exchange intense attacks above the sky, and they could see fire and ice repeatedly clashing with each other.

After all, Feng Qiong's flames were the Phoenix Flames, and Yu Mei's ice was also unusual, which caused steam to start covering their vision.

Even so, the steam didn't last for long because the two men below them were attacking each other, which caused a surge of wind to sweep it out of their line of sight.

Even though their attacks fell on their opponents' bodies repeatedly, bruises had begun to appear on several parts of their bodies, but the two men didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and they looked even more excited instead.

Gradually, the two men's attacks became more and more intense, and the ground beneath them rapidly cracked into pieces, especially after Ling Yun's foot slammed into Jiang Chen's shoulder from above.

'Those guys are really maniac fighters!' The spectators muttered in their hearts as they continued to watch Ling Yun and Jiang Chen fight.

"Haha! Your attacks sure are strong, Brother Yun!" Jiang Chen said with a laugh as he continued to attack Ling Yun with punches and kicks.

Ling Yun also laughed in satisfaction. "Out of all the men participating in this competition, I respect you the most, Brother Jiang!"

"Gah!" Jiang Chen groaned as Ling Yun's hard punch landed on his cheek, but he still laughed anyway. "Haha! Take my punch!"

As soon as Jiang Chen stretched out his arm, Ling Yun immediately shifted aside and caught his hand. He then spun around and slammed him into the ground.

"Cough... Cough... What kind of technique is that?" Jiang Chen asked as he jumped to his feet, and he immediately attacked Ling Yun again.

However, Ling Yun continued to fend off Jiang Chen's every attack in slow motion as he answered his question. "It's not really a technique, but it's Taichi."

"Taichi? Isn't that just like in kung fu movies?" Jiang Chen asked again as he continued to attack Ling Yun and looked for openings to land his attacks on him.

Unfortunately, Ling Yun's movements became more fluid after he used the Taichi Fist, plus his heavenly eyes could clearly see the direction of Jiang Chen's attacks. "Oh? Does that mean you grew up in the outside world?"

"Yes. I did grow up in the outside world, and my mother brought me here." Suddenly, Jiang Chen saw a gap in Ling Yun's attack; he immediately ducked down and swept his feet.

Ling Yun toppled backwards due to Jiang Chen's attack, but he immediately used his hand to spin backwards, and he landed with a slight stagger.

Seeing that, Jiang Chen immediately dashed towards Ling Yun, but a fireball suddenly fell in their midst and exploded.

*Bam*

Both of them pushed back and looked up at the two women, and Jiang Chen said to Ling Yun. "It seems their battle is also even as ours."

"Yes." Ling Yun nodded in agreement with him. "Usually, fire can defeat ice more easily, but Feng Qiong's flames and Yu Mei's ice are both strong, so I'm no longer surprised if their battle becomes even."

"That's true."

However, the two men were surprised when Feng Qiong summoned her five clones, especially since Yu Mei also used the same technique as her.

"I didn't expect that Yu Mei also has a clone technique." Jiang Chen muttered to himself. "If I had to fight six of her, I would lose quickly."

Unlike Jiang Chen, Ling Yun had other thoughts after he saw the five Yu Mei clones. 'Although her clones look perfect, they are not as perfect as Feng Qiong's clones, and they have huge flaws.'

Yu Mei's clones quickly melted after receiving a blow from Feng Qiong's clones attacks, as Ling Yun had anticipated.

Minutes later, Yu Mei was already overwhelmed by Feng Qiong's rapid attack, especially because her Qi consumption was far greater than hers.

'Sigh, the ice technique's biggest flaw is its consumption of Qi, and I won't be able to withstand her attacks much longer.' Yu Mei muttered inwardly as she flew away from Feng Qiong, but she suddenly smiled faintly and used a technique without her realizing it.

Feng Qiong raised her eyebrows upon seeing that, but she immediately flew after Yu Mei as she wondered in her heart. 'What does she want to do? Did she want to use a technique like the one used by Mu Lingxue before? If she really wants to use that technique, then I have to stop her immediately, or else I'll lose to her.'

After she said that, Feng Qiong accelerated her flight speed and shortened their distance rapidly. However, when her attack hit Yu Mei, her body instantly melted. 'Damn it! An Ice Mirage! I forgot that they have such a technique!'

Meanwhile, the real Yu Mei had already moved far behind Feng Qiong, and the snow woman had appeared behind her.

Unlike Mu Lingxue, Yu Mei's mastery of the technique was near perfect, and she was able to activate it much faster than her.

Sensing that, Feng Qiong looked back, and her expression became ugly, but she then used another technique that she had never used before. Her five clones immediately rushed to her side, and they merged into a huge fire phoenix.

Ling Yun and Jiang Chen, on the other hand, stopped fighting and paid close attention to the two women because they believed that their final technique would determine the winner.

Moments later, the snow woman and the fire phoenix flew swiftly towards each other and directly collided in midair, which resulted in a huge explosion, and hot steam enveloped the entire arena.

*boom*

Ling Yun directly used his Wind Qi and dispelled the steam, and they could see the two women panting heavily after they used up all their Qi for their final attack.

"Hah... Hah... Your last technique is really strong, Yu Mei. If I don't have that technique, I will definitely lose to you." Feng Qiong said as she tried to catch her breath.

Yu Mei's condition was also not much different from hers, and she said so to Feng Qiong. "Honestly, I already guessed that you still kept your strongest technique hidden, so I wasn't sure if I could defeat you with it."

"So our fight this time is a draw, huh?" Feng Qiong spoke weakly.

Yu Mei nodded in agreement. "I myself can't fight anymore, so our fight must end in a draw."

"Haha." The two women laughed together before they fell from the sky, but Ling Yun immediately moved to catch Feng Qiong, and Jiang Chen moved to catch Yu Mei.

After he caught her, Jiang Chen directly spoke to Yu Mei. "Fairy Mu, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Thank you, Jiang Chen." Yu Mei immediately closed her eyes after she said that, and he immediately brought her to Lian Bing before returning to the arena again.

Meanwhile, Ling Yun helped Feng Qiong drink the Large Qi Restoration Liquid, and he said to her. "Your last technique is really great, you know? I didn't expect that you could combine your five clones into a fire phoenix, and its attack power is also very strong."

"Hehe." Feng Qiong giggled at that. "But I still can't beat Yu Mei, so it's not that great."

"You just need to train it more deeply, and I believe your technique's attack power will be stronger in the future." Ling Yun replied as he shook his head, and he then handed Feng Qiong over to his women who had come to Cultivator Peak.

After that, Ling Yun immediately returned to the arena and faced Jiang Chen again. "So what should we do now? If we continue to fight relying on our physical strength, then it will be difficult to determine the victor among us."

"That's true." Jiang Chen replied with an approving nod. "Even though I have many techniques taught by my mother, I'm not sure I can beat you even if I use all of them. However, I'm a fighter, so I won't give up easily."

"Haha! Your mindset sure is amazing." However, Ling Yun's expression suddenly turned serious. "You better be prepared; I will attack you to the best of my ability."

"Haha! That's what I really want! Even if I have to lose to you, I lost to the best fighter, so I won't regret it!" After saying that, Jiang Chen immediately enveloped his body with Earth Qi, which resembled an armor, but it was completely different from Chen Zong's earth armor. Besides, he also manipulated the ground around Ling Yun, as he used the devouring technique as well.

"Hmm?" Ling Yun looked at Jiang Chen in surprise after he experienced his devouring technique, but it was completely meaningless to him, especially since the amount of Qi within his body was far greater than that of other cultivators.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen jumped up high but immediately dived towards Ling Yun, and his right hand were already covered with solid earth. "Take this!"

"That's useless!" Ling Yun instantly turned his right hand into a dragon claw. He then jumped towards Jiang Chen, and their hands directly clashed.

"Gah!" Jiang Chen was knocked back by that, but he stomped off the ground and slid towards Ling Yun again.

Ling Yun sighed softly and moved using Light Feather Steps to dodge Jiang Chen, but he then flew up into the air and muttered. "Golden Buddha Palm!"
