Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005
"Hmph, why don’t you take one of my moves first, Sky Rain Gold Needle." Seeing Wan Yong gathering his strength, Tang Ming seized the moment, sneered coldly, leaped up fiercely, and his hands turned into countless shadows dancing in front of him.
Countless golden lights, like a torrential rain, flew towards Wan Yong, surrounding his entire body with no gaps.
Wan Yong’s face turned solemn. As he was accumulating energy in his hands earlier and preparing to attack, this moment was the weakest in his defense, making it too late to dodge.
Seeing the golden rain flying towards him, Wan Yong’s lips curled slightly, and he let out a fierce roar.
The next moment, the speed of the golden rain rushing through the air slowed down, eventually revealing the form of golden needles falling to the ground.
"Is this a Vibration Wave?"
Tang Ming was shocked when he landed.
He had been curious about Wan Yong’s secret trump card, but couldn’t figure it out in previous encounters.
Now, seeing Wan Yong use this method to counter his Sky Rain Gold Needle, he finally got a clue—this guy can actually concentrate his power into a Vibration Wave to attack.
"My turn, Thunderclap."
As the golden needles hit the ground, Wan Yong spun his body, continuously shooting beams of silver light from his hands, weaving into a gigantic silver net towards Tang Ming.
Tang Ming’s face changed slightly, instantly realizing there was another layer to Wan Yong’s attack.
Those Thunder Pearls maintained a specific distance in the air, attacking together, connected by an invisible force into a whole!
If he blocked just one Steel Ball, the other Thunder Pearls would trigger a chain reaction, instantly attacking the object blocking that Steel Ball.
Simply put, if Tang Ming tried to use a golden needle to deflect one of the Steel Balls, the others would instantly destroy his arm, and in the end...
Facing the incoming Steel Balls, Tang Ming quickly retreated.
Seeing this, everyone tensed up, especially those concerned for Tang Ming. Seeing him forced to retreat, their hearts leapt to their throats. Facing such an attack, there was no blocking, only death if failed.
Even those with keen eyesight could see Wan Yong’s skillful means and powerful destructive force. Without using Gang Qi, even a Seven-star Martial Master or an Eight-star Martial Master could fall.
Of course, there were also many who were eagerly anticipating Tang Ming being shot to death.
In a blink, Tang Ming was backed against the wall with nowhere to retreat, and the Steel Balls were already close at hand.
"Can’t hold back anymore."
A flash of brilliance appeared in Tang Ming’s eyes as he imitated Wan Yong, opening his mouth to let out a furious roar.
The Steel Balls stopped mysteriously, then shattered and fell from the air.
"Time’s up, it’s a draw."
At this moment, Qin Fang’s voice rang out, the door to the Hidden Weapons Room opened, and the match ended.
Though the match was over, neither Tang Ming nor Wan Yong moved, staring at each other, eyes full of confusion and shock.
"What was that technique of yours?"
Wan Yong spoke first.
"What was your technique?"
Tang Ming smiled, looking at Wan Yong playfully.
"I... You want to figure out my trump card, but it’s not that easy."
Wan Yong smirked coldly and replied cautiously.
"Aren’t you the same? If you don’t want to say, let’s leave it at that."
Tang Ming shrugged indifferently. He had already noticed Wan Yong’s Vibration Wave in his attack, while his method of activating an energy shield by concentrating his body’s stored energy was something Wan Yong could never discover.
He just managed to knock down all the Steel Balls at the critical moment by condensing an invisible energy defense in front of him.
After a lack of further communication, Tang Ming strode out without paying any more attention to Wan Yong, whose brows were knitted tightly.
The spectators couldn’t help but complain, but the thrilling scene at the last moment made them feel satisfied. No matter the outcome, they witnessed an exciting duel.
The heads of the eight families also sighed in relief but were filled with disappointment—no winner had emerged after all, indicating the competition must continue.
Seeing this result, Fu Tianyou was so angry he smashed his computer.
"Waste, trash, what a waste of emotions."
After smashing the computer, Fu Tianyou couldn’t help but curse.
He had hoped for a mutual destruction outcome but didn’t expect it to be a draw again, with Tang Xin and Wan Yong both unharmed.
"Director, calm down. It’s not worth it to ruin your health over this."
Lengzhan quickly stepped forward to console.
"Can I calm down? If we had let the Eight-Armed Arhat make a move, with his Eight-star Martial Master skills, he could definitely kill Tang Ming. But now, we’ve missed such a great opportunity."
Fu Tianyou clenched his fists with gritted teeth, itching to beat Wan Yong to death.
It was that kid’s reckless suggestion that made him miss such a golden chance to kill Tang Ming, infuriating him.
Lengzhan stood aside, not daring to speak further. Fu Tianyou was on the verge of madness, even smashing his computer. If he vented his anger on Lengzhan, it would be troubling.
As Tang Ming and Wan Yong exited the Hidden Weapons Room, members of the Ming Group faction were disappointed. Whether either of them died, it would be beneficial to them.
But since neither were harmed, they would have to continue in the upcoming matches.
Long Ao and others were relieved, rushing to show concern for Tang Ming. Not deciding victory was better than getting injured or dying. As for winning or losing, they could settle it in future matches as a direct confrontation was too frightening.
"Congratulations everyone, the two matches on the second day are complete. I will now announce the scores," said Qin Fang with a smile after reacting.
