Chapter 434
Instant kill at Lightning Speed
Yuan Chen was heavily injured and is in imminent danger, he was sent to the resting area to receive emergency treatment, while Jiang Qing Long’s injuries were not light either, majority of the treasures on his body were destroyed, many of the Spirit Essences in his body were charred and his cultivation was almost destroyed, he was sent with Yuan Chen together to receive treatment.
Although Jiang Qing Long won, his move was too ferocious! He would most likely be unable to contend further.
“Spectacular, truly spectacular! I never thought that the four participants would bring us such spectacular performances!”
The host, Zhu Wen started to exaggerate untiringly, it would have been fine if he called Jiang Qing Long’s competition to be spectacular, but Qin Si and Chen Jia Yuan’s battle was too one sided.
The atmosphere was at a boil, the spectators seemed to be immersed in Jiang Qing Long’s fiery sky technique and its might.
The stage was restored.
The focus was not on Zhu Wen, but the gigantic golden splendor in the sky.
When Zhu Wen finished talking, the light screen was once again activated.
~It should be my turn to go up.~
Su Yun took a breath and looked at the light screen in the sky.
At that moment, all the spectators turned and look at the light screen.
“Alright! Now, let our next participants appear!”
“For the first match! Current first-place, Han Yue Xin, against Group B Participant, Zheng Zi Luo!”
“For the second match! Group D Participant, Su Yun, against Group B Participant, Zhang Jiu!”
Roar!
With the participants being set, the entire grounds immediately flew into an uproar.
“Han Yue Xin! Han Yue Xin!”
“Han Yue Xin! Han Yue Xin!”
“Han Yue Xin! Han Yue Xin!”
Everyone called out in unison at the young lady dressed in ice blue robes, some of them were agitated, some excited, some looking forward for her performance, while some were in worship of her.
At that moment, the young lady that resembled a goddess of war became the focus of attention.
Her complexion was as smooth as ice, her pupils revealing a profundity to her. Facing the tsunami of cheers, she remained calm and cool, as though she had nothing to do with her surroundings.
The four evaluators and the host Zhu Wen glanced at the young lady.
Undoubtedly, for the next two matches, the main character was not Zheng Zi Luo, nor was it Zhang Jiu or even Su Yun! It was Han Yue Xin!
“Luckily you’re not going up against Han Yue Xin, brother Su, do your best!”
Lu Zhan Yuan could not resist but look at Han Yue Xin again, then returned his eyes on Su Yun and laughed.
“Yea!”
Su Yun nodded his head then got up, after getting Xiao Xiu to do the usual, he headed up the stage.
The four participants walked up to the stage step by step, but more than 70% of the spectators had their focus on Han Yue Xin. Regardless of female or male, young or old, all of them were watching her as though they were watching a performance, regardless of whether her opponent was weak or strong, she would use her most graceful stance and beautiful sword techniques to defeat them.
Su Yun had seen the battle between Han Yue Xin and Gold Steel, and had a few analysis, Han Yue Xin’s sword was not only cold or beautiful, but it was very practical, everything that she had displayed were perfect, her cultivation, her planning, her farsightedness… It was though everything was in her palms.
Such an opponent was even more difficult to fight against as compared to Bai Mu Jian or Dao Huang.
“I got lucky, I thought I would be fighting against Han Yue Xin, I never thought it would be against you!”
Zhang Jiu who was on the opposing side said laughing after heaving a sigh of relief.
Su Yun frowned slightly.
Seeing that, Zhang Jiu immediately raised his hands: “Master Su Yun, please do not be mistaken, it is not that I am looking down on you, but the truth is, hahaha, that, you should also know Han Yue Xin’s strength, if I were to go against her, I would definitely lose, but against you, maybe I can be able to put up a fight, hahahahaha”
Su Yun shook his head: “Give it your all. Regardless if I am strong or weak, I hope that you can give it your all!”
With that said, Su Yun extended his hand into the sword sheath and took out a white sub sword.
Su Yun had a big appetite, he himself knew of Zhang Jiu’s thoughts, but Su Yun’s intention in participating in the competition was for fighting strength and fighting experience, it could be considered a type of tempering for himself. To him, there were times that winning was not the most important.
“Alright, Master Su Yun. Although I am a participant from Group B and cannot compare to a Group A existence, but to be able to stand here, I have some fight in me, you have to be careful!” Zhang Jiu laughed.
“Yes, I will give it my all as well!”
Clang!!!
Just then, a clear sound of a bell sounded out.
It was like the four participant’s hearts were struck, the four of them moved at the same time towards their enemies.
The intense battle had started!
Zhang Jiu used a brilliant red spear which had a sharp and cold tip, its body looked to be dyed with blood, every attack he unleashed would release a shockwave that spreaded out 3m long, the might of the shockwave released was three times that of his attack, an attack that could not be doubted, it was because of the might of his spear that gave him the nickname ‘Tyrannical Spear Monarch’.
Previously, Su Yun had seen all of Zhang Jiu’s battles and the opponents who were unfamiliar with his spear would deflect his weapon head on, but even though they block his spear, they would be struck with the shockwave and immediately lose.
Su Yun did not take his spear head on, he dodged relentlessly and avoided the spear aura, he did not fight Zhang Jiu head on.
Liu Gu who was seated below laughed: “One cannot take that spear head on, in the situation of opponents having the same fighting strength, regardless of how they come into contact with Zhang Jiu, they are unable to do anything, the only thing thing the enemies can rely on now is speed, if they are able to avoid Zhang Jiu’s attacks, they have the possibility of winning!”
“That’s right, Su Yun’s previous few rounds were spectacular and his advantage lies in speed, maybe Zhang Jiu would not win so easily.” Xiao Zi Ru said.
The few evaluators whispered to one another, then turned their eyes towards Han Yue Xin.
They thought that Su Yun and Zhang Jiu’s fight was merely a contrast to bring out Han Yue Xin’s battle.
But right at that moment.
Sou!
A snow white cold glare suddenly exploded on the stage.
The four evaluators were roused, and immediately turned their heads towards the glaring light.
Unknowingly, Su Yun had appeared right in front of Zhang Jiu! It was at a lightning speed where no one was able to catch a glimpse of his actions!!
He had one hand on Zhang Jiu’s spear, another with his sword that had pierced through Zhang Jiu’s chest, the snow white sword was dyed red and protruded out from Zhang Jiu’s back, the blood dripping down onto the cold ground.
Instant kill?
The four evaluators were stunned.
The spectators who were observing Su Yun were also startled.
Lu Zhan Yuan’s eyes were wide open, he exclaimed out loud: “S-so fast!!!”
“What fast?” A participant that had become a spectator by his side asked, he was fixated on Han Yue Xin the entire time, he looked at Su Yun, only to see that Su Yun had already kept his sword in his sword sheath, while his opponent Zhang Jiu was on the ground with blood flowing out through his chest.
“What? The battle is over?? W-what’s going on? Lu Zhan Yuan, what exactly happened?”
One of the participant anxiously asked Lu Zhan Yuan.
“He won in a move!” One of the participant walked over from behind as he continued staring at the stage, and said: “This man called Su Yun has reached the pinnacle in speed! I reckon that his speed is ten times or higher compared to Zhang Jiu! Zhang Jiu was never his opponent!”
“T-ten times??”
The spectators were shocked.
The majority of the spectators were fixated on Han Yue Xin’s battle with Chen Jia Liu, with only a minority who watched Su Yun resolving his battle.
Chaotic exclamations started coming out and gradually, the spectators who were fixated on Han Yue Xin finally realized and turned their eyes, only to witness in shock at the man who had walked down the stage!
The Host, Zhu Wen, had not even reacted!
The four evaluators were petrified.
“That speed, can it be that Su Yun was previously concealing his strength?”
Xiao Zi Ru murmured.
“Zhang Jiu will not win that easily? Heh, Su Yun had won too easily.” Liu Gu laughed bitterly.
Xiao Zi Ru felt her face going red, as though she was beaten heavily by Su Yun in the face.
The entire competition grounds was in an uproar, no one cared about Han Yue Xin anymore, they were all noticing the man dressed in black, the Group D participant whom they could not see clearly!
To defeat a Group B participant in one second, even a Group A Participant would not be able to do that!
Slowly, the site became increasingly noisy with even more screams and shouts. Many of them did not know what happened over at Su Yun’s side, and more questions popped out.
Inside the western pavilion that was slowly spinning
“Quan Cai, if you were fighting against Zhang Jiu, would you be able to defeat him in one move?”
The man behind the beaded curtains asked.
“Not a big problem.” Huo Quan Cai cupped his fist and said.
“Not a big problem? That means you’re gonna have a problem with it?”
Hearing that, Huo Quan Cai immediately changed his words: “Of course not, although Zhang Jiu uses a unique weapon, he does not have a profound strength, defeating him is as easy as flipping my hand!”
The man did not say anything, then spoke out: “I never thought that there would be a black horse in Group D, Quan Cai, you send the orders down, get people to investigate who this Su Yun is, he has an extremely high level treasure that conceals his cultivation, so powerful that not even I can see through him, think of a way to find out his true strength, understand?”
“Master, are you interested in him?” Huo Quan Cai probed.
“It’s not only me, I believe that the other three are interested in him as well, quickly send some people to investigate.”
Huo Quan Cai hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head: “Yes Master!”
Not long after Su Yun’s match, Han Yue Xin won.
She did not hurry down the stage but glanced at Su Yun who was seated down, a dense fighting intent flashed past her eyes.
Su Yun did not avoid her gaze, the competition had already reached its climax and there was no longer a need for Su Yun to conceal his strength! Instead, he would quickly resolve the battles and prevent himself from getting injured as saving his strength was the priority, he needed to prepare for the next round.
The people around them were discussing about Su Yun’s speed, even Lu Zhan Yuan was talking nonstop into Su Yun’s ears, but Su Yun completely ignored them and sat down to meditate, taking the time to recuperate.
A few participants carefully approached Su Yun and sized him up.
No doubt, Su Yun had become the most interesting person in the competition.
He had killed Dao Huang and defeated Bai Mu Jian, this time, he had defeated Zhang Jiu, one of the top 14 participants in a second!
All of these surprising events were actually done by a Group D participant!
The next battle was between Hua Ya Shan and the representatives of the Organisations, thus Su Yun was able to rest.
But not long before he had closed his eyes, Lu Zhan Yuan who was constantly talking nonstop suddenly stopped, he anxiously nudged Su Yun and spoke softly: “Brother Su, brother Su, Li Chang Zai is coming over!”
“Swift Sword Li Chang Zi?”
Su Yun opened his eyes and looked towards the corridor.
There were conversations going on there, by a few participants, which had something to do with Li Chang Zai.
~Seems like he’s another famous person.~
“You must be Young Noble Su Yun, hello, I am Li Chang Zai, it is nice to meet you!”
Li Chang Zai walked to Su Yun and cupped his fists.
