Chapter 455 Are you going to admit defeat?
Chapter 455 Are you going to admit defeat?
"Insanity!"
Yuwen Tingxuan said no more, and his golden core began to circulate wildly within his body.
The immense spiritual power erupted without reservation, its momentum far surpassing that of the previous battle against Lu Beiyou.
His hands moved rapidly, unleashing a series of profound incantations. His body shone with a jade-colored radiance, which condensed into nine incredibly solid jade-colored light swords, their tips emitting a chilling gleam.
"Nine Heavens Jade Void Slash!"
He roared, and the nine Jade Void Light Swords emitted a piercing shriek, transforming into nine streaks of light that tore through the sky, hurtling towards Yun Chen from different angles with an aura of annihilation.
The sword's aura enveloped the entire arena, sealing off all space for evasion; clearly, it was intended to decide the outcome with a single strike.
Despite the terrifying attack that far surpassed the Golden Core level, Yun Chen, who was at the center of the storm, remained calm.
He didn't even adopt any defensive stance; he simply slowly raised his right hand, his fingers slightly spread.
The next moment, a scene that everyone will never forget unfolded.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling collision of lights.
The nine Jade Void Light Swords, capable of easily killing a peak Golden Core cultivator, suddenly slowed down as soon as they entered a three-zhang radius around Yun Chen, like a mud ox entering the sea.
The brilliant jade light on the sword blade dimmed and dissipated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, about a foot away from Yun Chen's body, it completely disintegrated, transforming into the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth, merging into the surroundings without causing the slightest ripple.
It's as if...they never existed.
“This…is impossible!!”
Yuwen Tingxuan's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, his face filled with extreme horror and bewilderment.
His strongest killing move was so easily... neutralized by the opponent?
I didn't even see how it was resolved!
Not just him, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the bizarre scene unfolding on the stage, their mouths agape in disbelief.
On the high platform, Master Yu Shu suddenly stood up, his face showing shock for the first time.
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Xuantong's narrowed eyes.
Mu Bingyun's hand holding the teacup trembled suddenly, and a few drops of tea spilled out.
Elder Lei, however, had a beaming smile on his face, his expression one of satisfaction and joy.
This disciple is definitely a good investment.
"What...what is your cultivation level?"
Yuwen Tingxuan's voice trembled, and his Dao heart almost collapsed at this moment.
He believed he had reached the limit of the Golden Core stage, and that there was no way that a cultivator of the same level could be more powerful than him.
Yun Chen slowly lowered his hand, his gaze remaining calm, as if he had only done a trivial matter.
"As I said, a frog at the bottom of a well cannot know the vastness of the Milky Way. Your Nine Heavens Jade Void Slash may seem impressive, but in reality, your spiritual energy is scattered and impractical. True power lies in concentration and control."
He actually started commenting on Yuwen Tingxuan's moves!
"Shut up!"
Enraged, Yuwen Tingxuan forcibly stabilized his almost collapsing Dao heart, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Don't be so smug! That was just a test!"
He refused to believe that after decades of hard work, he was no match for an unknown kid.
"Jade Void True Body, Condensed!"
Yuwen Tingxuan roared, and the jade-colored light around his body surged once again.
Instantly, mysterious jade-like patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.
His aura instantly became more solid and profound, as if he had transformed into a jade-carved deity.
This is a secret technique that Jade Void Palace holds dear. It can greatly enhance defense and strength in a short period of time, but it also places a great burden on the user.
He clasped his hands together and then suddenly thrust them out!
"Great Jade Annihilation Palm!"
A giant jade-colored palm print, condensed to its extreme and almost materialized, appeared out of thin air.
Runes flowed across the palm print, emanating a terrifying aura that could annihilate everything. Wherever it passed, even the air hummed under its strain.
This palm strike gathered all his energy and spirit at this moment, and its power far exceeded that of the previous Nine Heavens Jade Void Slash!
Faced with this earth-shattering attack, a faint interest finally flashed in Yun Chen's eyes.
"That's interesting."
He no longer acted arrogantly. He clenched his right fist, and purple lightning suddenly condensed on the tip of his fist. It was no longer a thin arc of electricity, but transformed into a ball of lightning that leaped about and was full of destructive power.
Instead of dodging, he met the huge jade-colored palm print head-on with a punch.
"Boom——!!"
Their fists and palms collided, unleashing a deafening roar.
Blinding lightning and jade-colored radiance intertwined, eroded, and annihilated each other wildly.
The violent energy shockwaves spread outwards as if they were tangible, slamming into the protective barrier around the arena, causing the barrier to fluctuate violently and its light to flicker.
The spectators below the stage were all horrified and began to exert their inner energy to resist the terrifying pressure emanating from the arena.
The stalemate lasted only a moment.
The next moment, cracks suddenly appeared on the solid jade-colored palm print.
"Click... click..."
The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire palm print like a spider web.
Yuwen Tingxuan's expression changed drastically. He frantically urged his spiritual power to maintain the palm print, but he felt an incomparably domineering and destructive thunderous power backlash from the palm print, instantly rushing into his meridians.
"puff--!"
He could no longer hold on, and blood gushed out as the huge jade-colored palm print shattered.
He was sent flying backward by the residual force, crashing heavily into the barrier's light wall before bouncing back onto the arena. He struggled to get up, but he was already at his last gasp.
The state of Yu Xu's true form was also forcibly interrupted, and his aura became extremely weak.
Yun Chen remained standing in the same spot, though the lightning surrounding him had dimmed slightly, and his breathing had become a little more rapid.
He flicked his wrist, looking at Yuwen Tingxuan, who was struggling to support himself, with an icy gaze.
"That palm strike was actually quite effective."
Yun Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling edge: "Unfortunately, it ends here."
From the moment he offended Ruoruo, he was already courting death, and Yun Chen had no intention of letting him go.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Tingxuan's heart sank, and an unprecedented fear gripped him.
He saw undisguised killing intent in Yun Chen's eyes.
"What...what do you want to do? This is a ranked match! You can't..."
Yuwen Tingxuan's voice was hoarse as he tried to struggle and retreat, but he found that his whole body was in excruciating pain and his spiritual energy was dissipating.
"Ranking matches? As long as you don't admit defeat, even if we kill you, no one will say anything."
Yun Chen walked slowly forward, each step seemingly treading on Yuwen Tingxuan's heartbeat.
"Are you admitting defeat?"
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Tingxuan's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and was about to speak when Yun Chen raised his hand and waved it.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a silver needle flew from Yun Chen's hand and landed on Yuwen Tingxuan's body.
Then... Yuwen Tingxuan's eyes widened in horror.
Because he discovered that he was unable to make a sound.
"If you don't speak... it means you won't admit defeat, so even if I kill you, it's within the rules."
Yun Chen's voice seemed to come from the deepest hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Yuwen Tingxuan shook his head desperately, despair evident in his eyes.
Unfortunately, he could no longer utter a sound and could only watch helplessly as Yun Chen walked towards him.
