Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1083 1084: Invincible for Years

On the Wind and Cloud List, two former top Nine Heavens prodigies were fighting, naturally drawing a massive crowd.

On the previous Wind and Cloud List, Golden Roc and Tang Ao fought to a draw, neither able to suppress the other. Now that they met again, of course they had to battle it out—after all, both wanted their ranking to be conclusively decided.

Buzz~

A wild gale swept past as Golden Roc spread his wings, infinite golden light bursting forth. The Golden Roc soaring into the sky was like a golden phoenix, bathing in flame, reborn through nirvana.

In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth were shrouded by his endless golden wings. Then, under the gaze of countless eyes, Golden Roc dove down, howling toward Tang Ao. Wherever he passed, raging flames annihilated everything.

As for Golden Roc's true body, he stood proudly in the void, battle might boundless.

"Tang Ao, today you and I must decide who's superior!" Golden Roc's voice echoed from the void, brimming with a tone of ruthless resolve.

On the last Wind and Cloud List, they ended in a draw. Meeting again today, how could they not decide the outcome and fix their rankings?

"To decide who's superior—that's only natural!" Tang Ao let out a vicious roar, his aura boundless.

Roar~

A thunderous bellow shook heaven and earth together. A powerful Power of Sound Waves rattled the mind. Tang Ao's aura was still climbing, and behind him, a white ancient ape suddenly rose and stood tall. The ape's hand covered the sky as it reached to grab the diving Golden Roc.

"Break!" Tang Ao shouted loudly.

Bang, bang~

The Golden Roc's body shattered, wiped out between heaven and earth. The ancient ape's momentum was unstoppable as it crushed toward Golden Roc's true body. A gigantic Palm Seal descended from the heavens, as if about to slap Golden Roc to death with one palm.

"Hmph!"

Golden Roc snorted coldly as a storm of destruction swept up around him. In the blink of an eye, under everyone's gaze, a Golden Battle Spear appeared in his hand. With a flick, the spear erupted with infinite golden light, carrying a sharpness that could pierce everything as it thrust toward the ancient ape.

Roar~

The ancient ape bellowed, shaking heaven and earth.

However, the Golden Spear's force was unstoppable, piercing through all defenses as it locked onto the ancient ape's throat.

Puchi~

A soft sound rang out as the Battle Spear pierced through the ancient ape's throat, then stirred. The ape vanished, and Tang Ao's true body shot into the sky, his palm immense as it grabbed toward Golden Roc. Immediately after—boom~—a deafening explosion sounded as the two collided, both staggering back several steps.

"Is it still impossible to tell who's stronger?" Seeing this scene from several miles away, the spectators all felt their hearts pounding wildly. These two were both prodigies on the Wind and Cloud List, peerless legends. Now that they met again, it was still hard to determine a winner.

At this moment, on top of an ancient building, Qiao Ling'Er's delicate fists were clenched tight, palms already slick with sweat. She seemed even more nervous than the two peerless youths in the fight.

"It's just one battle, is this really necessary?" Xiao Tianyu spoke calmly when he saw Qiao Ling'Er like this.

"You don't understand how brilliant these two great prodigies are. How could their battle not make people nervous? It's just that it seems this fight will still be hard to decide."

"Do you really need to worship them this much?"

"They're two absolute male gods!"

"…" Xiao Tianyu chose to shut up.

Qiao Ling'Er's eyes spun once, then she stared at Xiao Tianyu and said, "If one day you can reach their level and make it onto the rankings, I'll worship you just the same!"

"Your bro's been invincible for years already!"

Puchi~

Qiao Ling'Er blossomed into a smile, amused by Xiao Tianyu's words.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Tianyu's face went dark.

"Laughing at how cute you are!" Qiao Ling'Er pouted her little lips. Invincible for years already? Does he really think he's some Saint? At your age, you're probably at most at the Martial Emperor Realm.

"Am I?"

"You are. From head to toe, you're covered in the word 'cute'!"

"Fine!" Xiao Tianyu stopped arguing. He said, "Can we leave now?"

"They still haven't decided the winner!"

"Their strength is equal. Even if they fight for three days and three nights, they won't decide anything. Are you planning to wait here three days and three nights?" Xiao Tianyu's voice was indifferent. He had long seen that the two in battle were evenly matched; deciding a winner would be extremely difficult.

"You can tell?" Qiao Ling'Er rolled her eyes at Xiao Tianyu. If you can see that, wouldn't that make you even stronger than them?

"Of course!"

"You're just trying to win this beauty's favor, aren't you!"

"Narcissist!"

"I'm not arguing with you!" Qiao Ling'Er put on the air of an adult magnanimously sparing a child, and continued to watch the fight.

However, two hours later, Tang Ao and Golden Roc were still locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle. It seemed exactly as Xiao Tianyu said—fight for three days and three nights and it would still be hard to decide a winner.

In the end, the battle once again ended in a draw.

Then, under everyone's eyes, the two stepped into the air and left, leaving quite a few people unsatisfied. Was it just going to end like this? It seemed that after a year, their strengths were still about the same. Who knew if they could decide a winner on the next Wind and Cloud List.

The next Wind and Cloud List would also be two years from now.

"You actually called it right!" Qiao Ling'Er glanced at Xiao Tianyu. "Let's go!"

"Mm." Xiao Tianyu nodded, as if lost in thought.

Seeing Xiao Tianyu so absent-minded, Qiao Ling'Er's beautiful eyes showed doubt. "Big bro, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking whether the few prodigies on this Wind and Cloud List should be left to her." The "her" Xiao Tianyu mentioned was naturally Ye Qingcheng.

"Her?" Qiao Ling'Er paused. "Who is she, male or female?"

"Female."

"Is she pretty?"

"Beauty that topples cities and nations."

"Don't tell me she's my sister-in-law?" Qiao Ling'Er revealed a 'you know' kind of smile. Xiao Tianyu shook his head. "You're overthinking it!"

"Fine then!" Qiao Ling'Er showed a strange expression as she looked at Xiao Tianyu. "After personally witnessing that battle, did you realize the gap is too big, so you plan to leave these so-called Wind and Cloud List prodigies to that stunning woman in your heart?"

"You saw through even that!"

"Is that woman's talent really that good? Now this little sister is really looking forward to it!"

"Let's go." Xiao Tianyu rolled his eyes at Qiao Ling'Er.

Qiao Ling'Er suddenly hooked an arm over Xiao Tianyu's shoulder, walking side by side with him. They looked just like a couple. Especially when he felt the envious gazes from all around, Xiao Tianyu's face turned dark.

But as for Qiao Ling'Er's innocence, Xiao Tianyu didn't really mind. She just saw him as an older brother. Brothers and sisters walking with arms over each other's shoulders—wasn't that perfectly normal?

"There's another fight over there. What's going on today?" Just then, cries of surprise rang out. Several miles ahead, another ripple of battle emerged. However, this battle's fluctuations weren't as overwhelmingly destructive as those from Golden Roc and Tang Ao just now.

From that alone, it wasn't hard to see that the people fighting now were far from Golden Roc and Tang Ao's level.

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

In an instant, many people howled forward toward the front. When they arrived at the battlefield, they immediately recognized one of the men.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Isn't that the War Sect's second-generation young master, Zhan Cang?"

"Who else? This guy relies on his big brother being a prodigy on the List and acts with no scruples. But you can't really blame him. Speaking of his brother, Zhan Tianhao, now that's a legendary figure like wind and cloud itself, on par with Golden Roc and Tang Ao. With a big brother like that, who would dare mess with him?"
