Chapter 456 Death Struggle
"stop!"
Just then, Master Yu Shu's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly stood up.
A strange look flashed in Lin Xuantong's eyes, but he did not speak up to stop it.
Mu Bingyun frowned slightly.
Elder Lei stared sharply at the arena.
"Yun Chen! Stop!" A disciple of Yu Xu Palace shouted in shock and anger from below the stage.
However, Yun Chen ignored their reactions.
He stopped in front of Yuwen Tingxuan, looking down at his face, which was contorted with fear.
"Remember this in your next life: some people... are not to be humiliated at will."
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Yun Chen's lips.
Before Yuwen Tingxuan could even speak, Yuwen Tingxuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and a wisp of lightning, condensed to its extreme and almost turning into dark purple, suddenly flashed at his fingertips, striking Yuwen Tingxuan's dantian with lightning speed!
If this finger strikes, Yuwen Tingxuan's lifelong cultivation will be in vain.
"No--!!"
Yuwen Tingxuan let out a desperate roar, his strong will to survive and sense of humiliation instantly overwhelming his fear of Yun Chen.
A glint of madness flashed in his eyes. Ignoring the damage to his meridians, he forcibly reversed his spiritual power, spitting a mouthful of his life essence blood onto his chest.
"Shatter the jade on Kunlun Mountain, sacrifice blood to the true spirit! Explode!"
With his shrill roar, the spurting blood essence instantly burned, transforming into an incomparably violent power that merged into his body.
His weakened aura surged wildly like a final burst of energy before death, even surpassing his state when he unleashed the Jade Void True Body.
He was enveloped in an eerie, blood-jade-colored light, and spiderweb-like bloodstains appeared on his skin, making him look like a madman.
This was his most secret, forbidden technique, which involved burning his life essence and potential in exchange for a temporary surge in power.
The consequences are extremely serious; at best, one's cultivation will regress and one's foundation will be damaged; at worst, one will die on the spot.
He unleashed both palms simultaneously, no longer as palm prints, but as a human-shaped stream of blood-red jade light, carrying a terrifying aura of tragic, resolute, and death-defying rage, crashing headlong into Yun Chen.
This strike contained all his resentment, unwillingness, and madness.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
No one expected Yuwen Tingxuan to be so resolute, resorting to such a forbidden technique that would destroy everything.
"Tingxuan! No!" Master Yushu's eyes were bloodshot with rage as he tried to stop him, but it was too late!
Faced with this life-consuming, desperate attack that far surpassed anything before, a trace of solemnity finally flashed in Yun Chen's eyes.
He could clearly feel the fierce will to destroy everything and the violent energy that threatened his life!
"Spiritual Transformation Technique!"
He gave a low shout in his heart, his blood and qi surged, and his hidden dragon bloodline was instantly activated.
His exposed skin, especially his arms and chest, was instantly covered with a layer of fine and tough dark gold dragon scales, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.
His overall defensive capabilities instantly increased several levels.
Almost simultaneously, the horrific humanoid blood jade streak struck him.
"boom--!!"
An even more terrifying explosion occurred.
This time, there was no stalemate, only the purest and most savage clash and destruction of energy.
The blinding light of the blood jade clashed, tore, and annihilated with the dark gold dragon scales and purple lightning.
The entire arena, along with the ground beneath it, seemed to have been brutally plowed by an invisible giant hand, with gravel flying everywhere and dust billowing into the sky.
The violent impact even caused the light barrier that the sect leaders and elders on the high platform had jointly set up to shake violently.
Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the center of the energy storm.
"Junior Brother!" Liu Yanran exclaimed in surprise.
"Yun Chen!" Zhao Xiruo's face turned pale, and she almost rushed over, but Shen Nan held her back tightly.
A hint of pleasure flashed in Master Yu Shu's eyes. He believed that under such a forbidden technique, Yun Chen had no chance of survival.
Elder Lei's expression was solemn, and his spiritual energy surged around him, ready to intervene at any moment.
Lin Xuantong and Mu Bingyun also stared intently at the scene.
The smoke slowly dispersed.
The first thing that catches the eye is the figure of Yuwen Tingxuan.
He remained frozen in place, still in his forward-moving posture.
The eerie blood-jade light surrounding him flickered like a candle in the wind.
The bloodstains on his skin were deeper, his breath was rapidly fading like a deflated balloon, and his eyes were unfocused; he was clearly on his last legs.
Opposite him, Yun Chen's figure also appeared.
He was still standing, but his demeanor was far less composed than before.
His upper garments were almost completely torn apart by the terrifying impact, revealing his chest and arms covered with dark gold dragon scales.
But even those seemingly indestructible dragon scales were now covered with fine cracks, especially the chest area, which was charred black and even had faint traces of blood seeping out.
His face was as pale as paper, a trickle of bright red blood hung from the corner of his mouth, his breathing was heavy, and the originally brilliant lightning around him had become extremely dim.
Clearly, even after using the dragon transformation power of the Divine Transformation Technique to withstand Yuwen Tingxuan's desperate attack, he still suffered considerable injuries.
"It...it actually blocked it?" someone exclaimed, filled with disbelief.
"What...what are those scales? Such strong defense!"
"He's injured too!"
The crowd below the stage was buzzing with discussion, while Elder Xuanqing on the high platform frowned, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.
"It's him!"
The aura that Yun Chen had just revealed reminded him of the two mysterious people from that night.
However, before he could think further, another unexpected event occurred on the arena.
The once dying and unfocused Yuwen Tingxuan suddenly had the last glimmer of light in his eyes condense into boundless resentment and madness. With his last ounce of strength, he roared hoarsely:
"Let's die together! Jade Void... Soul Explosion!!"
He was actually going to self-destruct his golden core along with his soul for a final blow.
Although its power is far less than that of the Blood Sacrifice True Spirit, at such close range, it is enough to take the heavily injured Yun Chen down with him.
"Not good!" Elder Lei's expression changed drastically, his figure blurred instantly, and he was about to rush into the arena.
A hint of surprise flashed in Master Yu Shu's eyes, which then turned into ruthlessness.
However, in that split second, Yun Chen, at the eye of the storm, showed no panic whatsoever.
Instead, a chilling glint flashed across its face.
"sucker Punch!"
He mustered his inner strength to suppress the churning blood and intense pain.
Faced with the destructive energy about to explode within Yuwen Tingxuan's body, he did not choose to retreat or defend, but instead made a move that surprised everyone.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, his fingertips devoid of any spiritual energy, yet an invisible, extremely sharp will suddenly coalesced.
It seemed capable of severing the void and annihilating all laws.
That is—sword intent!
The sword intent I comprehended during my previous battle with Li Yan.
"cut!"
With a soft shout, the invisible sword intent arrived first, ignoring the distance in space, and precisely slashed into the depths of Yuwen Tingxuan's sea of consciousness, aiming at his soul core that was about to self-destruct.
