Chapter 109: Against Xiangli Fei 2!

*flick* Zhang Fumin dashed from her place, her fist clenched as she threw a punch aimed directly at Xiangli Fei's chest.

*clang* Xiangli Fei's sword clanged against the gauntlet, parrying her attack, the impact sending a shockwave through the arena.

Ice and fire clashed in a burst of steam, momentarily obscuring each other's vision.

*swoosh* Xiangli Fei slid back gracefully, her sword leaving a thin trail of ice on the ground.

She countered with a horizontal slash, her blade slicing through the air with a chilling hiss.

Zhang Fumin ducked under the strike, her gauntlets igniting as she spun and delivered an uppercut aimed at Xiangli Fei's jaw.

Xiangli Fei leaned back just in time, the flames grazing her chin as she flipped backward, gaining distance.

With a flick of her wrist, she sent a wave of freezing energy toward Zhang Fumin. The ground beneath Zhang Yuan's feet crackled as it froze, the ice creeping up her legs, attempting to trap her.

However, Zhang Fumin grinned and flames burst out of her body as she plucked her leg, smashing those ice frost to crumbles.

*flick* Zhang Fumin again dashed towards Xiangli Fei, pulling back her fists and throwing a series of punches at her.

Xiangli Fei's eyes narrowed as a cold glint passed through them and her legs moved gracefully, dodging every one of her punches.

Looking at the punch aimed at her torso, Xiangli Fei twisted the sword in her hand and parried the gauntlet. *clank*

Parrying the punch with the sword in her right hand, she raised her left hand, and a burst of ice burst from her palm, hurling at Zhang Fumin.

*thoom* Before Zhang Fumin could react, the burst of ice slammed at her chest as she crashed through the arena.

*gasp* The audience gasped in surprise because Xiangli Fei has taken the lead right now.

Ning Xia stood up from the couch in shock "H-Huh? Will Young Lady lose?"

Zhang Yuan who was beside her shook his head "Don't worry Xia, she won't lose..."

Xiangli Zhi who was sitting in a high position on the podium raised her chest proudly looking at Zhang Fumin who was slowly getting up.

"Urghhh!" Zhang Fumin clenched her chest and shot a fierce glare at Xiangli Fei who was standing there with a calm demeanor.

*flick* Xiangli Fei hurled towards Zhang Fumin, her steps quick as she thrust her sword towards her chest.

She spun on her heel, her sword glowing with a pale blue light, and with a swift motion, she brought the blade down toward Zhang Fumin's side.

But Zhang Fumin was ready. At the last second, she twisted her body, her gauntlet intercepting the blade with a fiery explosion. *thoom*

The force of the impact sent sparks and ice flying in all directions.

Zhang Fumin was relentless and her eyes glowed with fire as she pressed on, throwing punches at Xiangli Fei's vital points.

'Her speed and accuracy has increased...'

Mumbling under her breath, Xiangli Fei twisted the sword in her hand blocking all of her punches easily.

Suddenly, Zhang Fumin feinted a punch with her right hand, only to twist her body mid-motion, bringing her left gauntlet up in a powerful uppercut.

The attack caught Xiangli Fei by surprise, the sheer heat forcing her to bring her sword down in a desperate block.

*clank* *thoom*

The impact sent Xiangli Fei skidding back, her boots carving twin trenches in the arena floor. But as she slid, she thrust her sword into the ground.

"Frozen veil!"

A barrier of ice shot up from the earth encasing her and Xiangli Fei took a deep breath.

Zhang Fumin smirked, her eyes narrowing as she prepared her next move. "You can't hide behind that ice forever," she uttered, slamming her fists together.

She leaped in the air and her gauntlets were blazing with fire as she launched towards the barrier of ice.

*thoom*

"Ora, Ora, Ora, Ora, Ora!"

She relentlessly punched at the ice barrier with all her might and under her punches, the ice also slowly began to crackle and melt.

Her fists were blazing, the heat so intensely that the ice began to melt, water hissing and steaming as it vaporized.

Inside, Xiangli Fei could feel the temperature rising, but she remained calm. With a deep breath, she focused her energy, her sword glowing brighter as she prepared to counterattack.

As the last of the ice melted away, Xiangli Fei sprang into action. She thrust her sword forward, releasing a concentrated beam of icy energy.

"Glacial Pierce!" she muttered, the beam shooting forward like a spear of absolute zero, cutting through her punches with chilling precision.

Zhang Fumin barely had time to react, but she twisted her body, the icy beam grazing her shoulder and leaving a trail of frostbite.

"Arghhhh!!" The pain was sharp, but she gritted her teeth and bore it, her eyes trembling.

"You damn bitch..."

With a powerful leap, Zhang Fumin jumped into the air. As she reached the height of her jump, she brought both fists together above her head, the flames around her gauntlets converging into a massive sphere of fire.

The crowd gasped as the temperature in the arena skyrocketed, the air itself seeming to catch fire.

"Meteor Strike!" Zhang Fumin uttered, plummeting toward Xiangli Fei like a falling star.

"Shit!" Xiangli Fei's eyes widened as the blazing meteor hurtled toward her.

With no time to evade, she planted her feet firmly on the ground, her sword glowing with an intense blue light.

She slashed upward, summoning a towering pillar of ice in a desperate bid to stop the incoming attack.

"Glacial Pillar!" she shouted, the ice shooting up to meet Zhang Fumin head-on.

*BOOOOMMM* The two forces collided with a thunderous crash that shook the entire arena.

For a moment, it seemed as though the ice might hold, the pillar standing firm against the fiery meteor.

*WOOOSSHH* But then, with a crack that echoed like a breaking glacier, the pillar shattered, unable to withstand the full force of Zhang Fumin's attack.

The Meteor Strike plowed through the ice, sending shards flying in all directions.

Xiangli Fei was caught in the explosion, the shockwave knocking her off her feet and sending her crashing to the ground.

Zhang Fumin landed heavily, her fists driving into the earth, flames erupting from the impact point and spreading outward in a fiery shockwave.

"YOHHOOO!!!" The crowd was on its feet, their roar deafening as the smoke and dust began to clear.

"Haah!" "Haah!" Zhang Fumin rose from her crouch, her gauntlets still fuming, her chest heaving with exertion.

She looked around, searching for any sign of Xiangli Fei.
