Chapter 2860: Switching Opponents

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"… "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"… "Rumble!" "Rumble!"

Xiao Fan and Long Ling immediately clashed, both exuding a ferocious Aura and striking with ruthless intensity.

Long Haoqiong stood to the side with an arrogant expression, yet his gaze was locked tightly onto Xiao Fan and Long Ling, taking the opportunity to analyze their strength.

Long Haoqiong had a calm and steady personality; he was adept at analyzing situations before every fight to ensure his victory.

Long Ling, however, had the exact opposite personality. He possessed terrifying strength and was one of the rare Prodigy descendants of the royal family.

At the same time, Long Ling preferred head-on, brute-force confrontations…

At this moment…

"Kill!!" Long Ling roared, his energy rising continuously.

He was furious, because Long Ling discovered that he couldn't do anything to Long Aotian.

He had clearly used almost all his strength, so why couldn't he suppress Long Aotian?!

Long Ling had a trump card, but that was reserved for Long Haoqiong.

Yet now, as Long Ling and Xiao Fan clashed repeatedly in a fierce battle, he couldn't even wound his opponent.

"Damn it…" Long Ling gritted his teeth viciously, his eyes turning blood-red with rage.

"Hehehe… Let me see your strength, come on!" Xiao Fan sneered.

The energy he was releasing now was stronger than before. Xiao Fan had achieved a Breakthrough in his Realm, and since it happened in full view of everyone, it was perfectly reasonable for him to display more of his strength… He didn't need to worry about exposing anything.

"Damn it!" Long Ling was incensed, yet he was helpless against Xiao Fan.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

"This… Long Aotian's strength is too strong!"

"Indeed, he is strong, but don't you think Long Ling is even stronger?!"

"It's only natural for Long Ling to be strong; he is one of the royal family's Prodigies!"

"Who do you think will win this match?"

"I don't know…"

"…"

The crowd nearby was whispering, all of them watching with great interest.

Meanwhile, the Pavilion Master of Drunken Dragon Pavilion and the others had grave expressions, feeling very nervous.

"This… Aotian is not weak, but the situation is too disadvantageous for him."

"That's right. Even if Aotian defeats Long Ling, there is still Long Haoqiong standing on the sidelines!"

"This isn't fair…"

"What can you do about it not being fair…"

"…"

In reality, everyone understood one thing: if the match proceeded like this, it meant Long Aotian would have to fight two consecutive battles.

This was certainly unfair to Long Aotian.

But those were the rules, and even if it was unfair, there was nowhere to appeal.

"This… Long Aotian…" The Sect Master of Flying Dragon Sect's eyes were filled with worry.

It wasn't just him; the Sect Masters of the Sacred Dragon Sect and Nine Dragons Sect were the same, their eyes filled with worry, concerned that something might happen to Long Aotian.

After all, in their eyes, Long Aotian was a Prodigy who would join their factions later!

"Boom!" "Rumble!"… "Boom!"

Watching Long Aotian and Long Ling trade blows, the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace nodded repeatedly: "Not bad… This child is very good."

The thought of taking Xiao Fan as his disciple grew stronger in his heart.

A Prodigy like Long Aotian would be wasted if he were in any other faction.

Therefore, at this moment, the Palace Master of the Dragon God Palace had already made up his mind: after the competition ended, he would announce in public that he would take Long Aotian as his disciple, and he would also betroth a princess of royal descent to Long Aotian.

"Damn you, brat!" Long Ling roared, and nine giant dragons appeared behind him, continuously attacking Xiao Fan.

Long Ling was furious. He never imagined that Long Aotian's strength would be this high. He had clearly used his full strength, yet he still couldn't suppress his opponent.

"Hmph…" Xiao Fan snorted coldly, throwing out his fists with a ferocious Aura, instantly destroying the giant dragons Long Ling had released.

"Damn it…" Long Ling gritted his teeth viciously; he realized he had been wrong, and terribly wrong at that.

He knew his opponent was strong, but he hadn't expected him to be this strong. Even when using his full power, he couldn't suppress Long Aotian at all.

If this continued, he would be defeated…

Use his trump card?

Long Ling hesitated. That was reserved for Long Haoqiong; he absolutely could not use it now.

"Kill…" Xiao Fan shouted, and he and Long Ling were evenly matched.

In truth, Xiao Fan had been preparing; he planned to deliver a fatal blow to Long Ling at the critical moment to defeat him first.

Afterwards, Xiao Fan would deal with Long Haoqiong, and once he defeated him, the first place title would be rightfully his.

Unfortunately… at this moment, Long Ling spoke a sentence that left Xiao Fan dumbfounded.

"Long Haoqiong, switch out… You come and deal with him!" Long Ling shouted.

Xiao Fan: "?????"

Long Haoqiong: "…"

The crowd nearby: "???????"

"Fine." Long Haoqiong nodded, exhaled, and looked at Xiao Fan.

As for Long Ling, his figure retreated rapidly, and after reaching a safe position, he breathed heavily.

This was something Long Ling and Long Haoqiong had discussed beforehand.

If they could easily defeat Long Aotian, that would naturally be best.

But if Long Aotian proved to be difficult to deal with, they would each fight for a while to keep their stamina balanced, and then they would engage in a fair battle afterwards.
