"Boss, this is not normal! Why did Gale Tower concede?"
Wu Ying Jian came to Ye Cangtian's side and quietly continued, "Wouldn't doing this indirectly help Su Yubai?"
After all, Gale Tower and the Hidden Group were partners. Out of a sense of righteousness, Gale Tower should have at least tried to wear down their opponent, even if they couldn't win.
But Gale Tower chose to concede. In his opinion, Gale Tower might have already secretly colluded with Misty Rain Tower.
"Dragon Subduing Villa and Gale Tower both conceded. The consumption for Taishan and Su Yubai was not significant, so both can be considered to be starting from the same line."
Ye Cangtian answered a question with a question. He had seen through everything. The problem was not with Gale Tower, but with Shen Bingyang within Gale Tower.
Therefore, none of this could be blamed on Gale Tower.
Hearing this, Wu Ying Jian wanted to say more, but Qing Yan's voice already reached them.
"Next up is the finals. Since both sides have not been significantly worn down, we will have a five-minute break. Five minutes later, the finals will officially begin!"
As the voice faded, Su Yubai jumped off the stage and went to Qing Yan's side.
Qing Yan looked at Su Yubai's return and a smile appeared on her aged face. She said, "Yubai, next you will be facing Taishan. How many percent sure are you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yubai's brows immediately furrowed.
He had already watched Taishan's previous match. The seemingly heavy giant shield was like an impenetrable wall, repeatedly blocking his opponent's attacks.
Most crucially, the giant shield was incredibly powerful. Even when facing Chen Gong's numerous attacks, there wasn't even a single trace of damage on the giant shield.
Under such circumstances, it was indeed not easy for him to break through the shield's defense and secure victory.
Thinking about it, he frowned and said, "Tower Master, I have at most a fifty percent chance of winning. The main reason is that his giant shield's defense is too strong. If it weren't for the giant shield, your subordinate would have a ninety percent chance."
Fifty percent?
Hearing this, Qing Yan's brows furrowed. This probability was too low. It meant that the opponent also had a fifty percent chance of winning the prize.
After a moment of silence, Qing Yan took out a cyan thorn from her Qiankun bag and handed it to him.
"Take this. It can break Taishan's shield. Remember, do not use it unless absolutely necessary."
Upon hearing this, Su Yubai nodded and directly put the cyan thorn into his storage.
"Isn't this a bit much? That cyan thorn's power is immense..."
As soon as Su Yubai left, Daoist Yuxing spoke to Qing Yan.
Qing Yan glanced at Daoist Yuxing and said faintly, "No matter what, we cannot lose this competition!"
Seeing Qing Yan's unyielding attitude, Yuxing chose to remain silent.
...
On the other side of the martial arts field.
Ye Cangtian calculated the time. Seeing that it was almost time, he patted Taishan, who was recovering, on the shoulder.
Taishan slowly opened his eyes and then said to Ye Cangtian, "Boss, don't worry. I've basically recovered to optimal condition. Winning this match is a piece of cake!"
Taishan was very confident about this. As long as he was in good condition, he was an invincible existence in battles of the same level.
"Mmm."
Ye Cangtian nodded and smiled, "Be careful with everything. Do not be careless."
Hearing this, Taishan nodded heavily, then leaped onto the stage.
*Bang!*
The giant shield landed on the ground, and Taishan's gaze fell upon Su Yubai, who was slowly approaching.
Su Yubai, dressed in white, with a dragon-shaped jade pendant at his waist, walked to the center of the martial arts field.
The next moment, a flash appeared in his hand, and a weapon materialized. However, unlike the long spear before, this time he was using a crescent moon saber.
"Why the change of weapon? This weapon might not be able to break my shield!"
Taishan spoke directly upon seeing the opponent change weapons.
In his opinion, in terms of weaponry alone, the destructive power of a long spear was higher than that of a crescent moon saber.
Therefore, the opponent changing weapons was an unwise move in his eyes.
*Hmph!*
Su Yubai snorted lightly and said faintly, "The crescent moon saber is my strongest weapon. You just enjoy it. Let's see how I break your giant shield!"
"Alright, I'll be waiting."
Taishan smiled slightly, completely unfazed by the opponent's words.
As they conversed, the match officially began.
Su Yubai flickered and was instantly beside Taishan. Then, the crescent moon saber in his hand split into two.
As one of them continuously flashed, attacking Taishan's giant shield from the front, the other crescent moon saber flew out and came around from behind Taishan.
This formed a pincer attack from both sides.
"I thought you had some impressive move, but it's just some trivial trickery!"
Feeling the attacks from both front and back, Taishan sneered disdainfully. He then used one hand to hold the shield for defense, while drawing a dagger with the other and slashing out.
*Clang!*
As a clear sound rang out, the spinning crescent moon saber was deflected several meters away. Strangely, it did not fall but rather spun back at an angle.
"Damn, this is quite troublesome," Taishan muttered.
Su Yubai coldly smiled and said, "Since you know that, you should surrender quickly. How can you possibly deal with attacks from both front and back by yourself?"
Taishan scoffed, "Is that crescent moon saber behind you even useful? To put it bluntly, it's just a toy frisbee for children! To me, it does no damage at all!"
"Is that so? Then let me show you my signature skill!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yubai smiled sinisterly and then began to swing the crescent moon saber in his hand.
The next moment, thick mist rose throughout the entire martial arts field, and Su Yubai's figure instantly disappeared into the white fog.
Instantly, the surrounding audience erupted in a clamor. Everyone wanted to see how Su Yubai would break through the opponent's defense.
However, with the vision obscured by the white fog, they were particularly dissatisfied.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian's face revealed a cold smile.
Although the white fog could conceal his figure, it was of no use to Taishan.
Taishan had also cultivated mental energy combat techniques. Sensing the opponent's position was not a problem at all.
However, the next moment, Ye Cangtian's expression turned grim.
He could already feel that the two crescent moon sabers were spinning at high speed, attacking Taishan from front and back.
And the giant shield could only block one side of Taishan, making the other side difficult to defend, especially since Taishan did not have any single-handed killer moves.
"Hahaha, surrender, Taishan. There is no way you can defend against this move..."
Just then, Su Yubai's excited voice rang out. In his eyes, he had already won this match.
"You're quite the idiot!"
"Who told you I only have one shield?"
Taishan's disdainful voice came through. The next moment, another giant shield appeared in his other hand, directly sandwiching his body in between.
*Clang! Clang!*
In the next instant, the two crescent moon sabers fiercely collided with the shields, emitting crisp sounds.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "This brat, he can really endure. He actually kept a shield as a trump card."
He had truly underestimated him earlier.
On the other side, within the white fog, Su Yubai revealed a look of astonishment. He hadn't expected the opponent to have another shield, which was somewhat unbelievable.
After all, if both hands were shields, wouldn't that mean abandoning offense?
Speaking of which, this kid really treated himself like a turtle, didn't he!
This was like a toad trying to annoy others!
Thinking to himself, Su Yubai's face also showed a hint of frustration. He slowly took out the cyan thorn and flung it towards the opponent.
After leaving his hand, the cyan thorn instantly turned into a streak of cyan light and shot out.
"Not good!"
Sensing the power of the cyan thorn, Ye Cangtian's eyes widened in alarm, and he shouted, "Taishan, full defense!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian's figure vanished from his spot.
The power of this cyan thorn was too formidable. It surpassed the full-power strike of a Heavenly-grade expert, and the giant shield was simply unable to block it.
On the other side, hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Taishan dared not delay. He directly placed both shields in front of his chest, using all his strength!
*Clang! Clang!*
In a short instant, the cyan thorn collided with the shields. After two impact sounds, the cyan thorn had already pierced through both giant shields.
However, the damage of the cyan thorn was not significantly offset and continued to stab fiercely towards Taishan's chest.
And at this moment, Taishan had channeled all his spiritual energy into the giant shields, believing he could offset most of the damage, but he hadn't succeeded.
Now facing the cyan thorn, Taishan was powerless. He could only gather all his strength to try and block it.
