Chapter 478: Battle Against Xiao Wujiu!
The people of the northern branch of the Dragon Hall felt deeply regretful.
Having fought their way to the top four, they hadn't expected to stop here.

On the other hand, the group from Heavenly Temple felt particularly relieved.
They had finally dealt with a member of the Dragon Hall, and given Tie Yimu's momentum, securing the championship of the Five Hall Competition seemed a certainty.
"All our hopes now rest solely on Qin Jiang, hoping he won't let everyone down."
Wu Tianlian's expression became somewhat grave at this moment.
The silver-robed elder stepped onto the platform and announced, "The second round of the competition begins now, please welcome the contestants to the stage."
As his voice fell, Qin Jiang and Xiao Wujiu stepped onto the platform.
Xiao Wujiu glanced at Qin Jiang and spoke indifferently, "Qin Jiang, it's quite remarkable that you've come this far."
"However, I'm not sure if you can last till the end."
"I shall give it my all."
Qin Jiang replied, then added, "I've long heard of the great name of War God Xiao, and today I have the rare opportunity to spar with you, allowing me to witness War God Xiao's true strength."
"Indeed, you have spirit,"
Xiao Wujiu smiled. "But coming up, I won't be holding back."
"By all means, bring it on," Qin Jiang responded indifferently, his fighting spirit rapidly rising.
As the words fell, Qin Jiang was the first to strike.
He stepped forward and followed up with a dominating punch.
The gust of wind that erupted caused the air to make a whistling sound, generating burst after burst of sonic booms.
Seeing this, Xiao Wujiu didn't dodge but instead met him head-on.
Bang!
Their fists collided.
A terrifying ripple of energy burst forth from their fists.
The ground beneath their feet also cracked at that moment, spreading out in a spider-web pattern all around.
Immediately after, Xiao Wujiu pushed forward.
Qin Jiang was forced back several steps by this overwhelming force.
Each step he took left a pit in the ground, clearly demonstrating the strength they had unleashed.
Thud, thud, thud!
As soon as Qin Jiang steadied himself, he immediately charged towards Xiao Wujiu again.
Moving forward, he leapt high and struck out with a palm.
A surge of power blasted towards Xiao Wujiu.
Xiao Wujiu sidestepped.
A massive palm print was left on the ground behind him.
Then, the two began close-quarters combat.
Boom, boom, boom—
The dull impact sounds continued to emanate.
The air itself seemed to solidify at that moment.
Everyone was watching their exchanges intently.
They were incredibly quick, with afterimages following one after the other.
Wherever they went, the commotion they caused was immense.
True Qi flew horizontally.
The power was astonishing.
However, Xiao Wujiu naturally held the upper hand in strength. Although they were exchanging blows, Qin Jiang was still being suppressed by him.
With no other choice, Qin Jiang unleashed the Nine Nether Purgatory technique.
A hint of Yin Evil Energy radiated from his body, and his overall strength rapidly climbed.
The True Qi within his body roiled and gathered in his right arm.
It seemed that the natural forces of the outside world were also summoned, as the external True Qi slowly became absorbed by Qin Jiang.
Seeing this, Xiao Wujiu also directly mobilized his Martial Skill—Radiant Eastern Sun.
A pale golden light enveloped him.
With a light grunt, he thrust a palm forward.
A golden palm shadow formed in front of him and then loomed over Qin Jiang.
The oppressive force it released jolted one's spirit, as if it intended to crush Qin Jiang down!
