Chapter 840 - 840 Do You Think He's Dead?
840 Do You Think He’s Dead?
Yang Xirui was shocked.
“This Purple Lightning Flash is so powerful?”
Locket’s expression was extremely serious. He looked at the virtual screen with a dark expression and shook his head.
“If Chu Nan attacked or dodged before his Purple Lightning Flash took shape, there’s still a trace of hope. However, now… it’s too late…”
Yang Xirui looked at the virtual screen in surprise and discovered that the purple ball of light in his hands had already become very huge. It looked like he was holding a small purple sun with both hands.
Countless dense purple lightning bolts shot out from the ball of light. Any one of them that struck the ground of the arena would create a huge pit on the ground with shocking power.
However, Chu Nan, who was standing opposite Selemo, still did not seem to feel any danger. He stood there motionless and even had a trace of curiosity and inquiry on his face as if he had seen something very interesting.
“Can’t this kid see the danger?” In the office of the competition’s organizing committee, a staff member in charge of monitoring the situation of the various venues glanced at the scene of Chu Nan and Selemo’s competition in surprise. He turned to Supremacy Melanie and anxiously said, “Supremacy, this… can you stop it? If anyone dies, it will bring a lot of pressure to our organizing committee…”
Supremacy Melanie glanced at the staff member with a meaningful smile.
“What? Do you want me to interfere and directly judge Chu Nan to be defeated? Although I know that you guys can’t wait for Chu Nan to immediately lose this competition and save the face of our United States of Melaita, since they’ve embarrassed themselves, they can only rely on themselves to earn it back. Aren’t you afraid of losing even more face by using this method?”
That staff member blushed slightly and shook his head repeatedly.
“Supremacy, you’ve misunderstood. I definitely don’t have this thought. However, Chu Nan’s situation is so dangerous now, and he doesn’t know how to take the initiative to surrender. If he dies under the Purple Lightning Flash, the pressure on our organizing committee will be too great.”
“How can there be no deaths in a martial artist battle?” Supremacy Melanie shrugged with a relaxed expression and did not take the other party’s words seriously.
“But…”
“There are no buts because it’s already too late.” Supremacy Melanie interrupted the other party bluntly and pointed at the virtual screen.
That staff member turned to look at the virtual screen in surprise. His eyes widened and his face was filled with shock.
In the competition scene on the virtual screen, the purple ball of light in his hands had already turned into a huge ball of light nearly ten meters in diameter. From the looks of it, it was really as if a purple sun had risen in the sky above the arena.
When that staff member turned around, he happened to see Selemo wave his hands. The huge purple ball of light that he was holding above his head left his hand and smashed toward Chu Nan.
This purple ball of light looked extremely huge, but its flying speed was extremely fast when thrown out. Almost the moment it was thrown out, it had already crossed space and flashed in front of Chu Nan.
A trace of surprise appeared on Chu Nan’s face before he was completely swallowed by the ball of light without any action or reaction.
The purple ball of light exploded, and instantly, countless bright dark purple lights swallowed everyone’s vision. The entire world seemed to be filled with dazzling purple light.
Boom!
Be it the audience seats three kilometers away from the center of the arena or the office of the organizing committee more than seven kilometers away from this arena, they could clearly hear an extremely huge and violent explosion. Even through the powerful energy barrier and glass curtain, they were still shaken until their ears hurt and buzzed.
The audience did not expect the power of this explosion to be so terrifying. Almost everyone had no choice but to close their eyes because of the intense purple light. Then, a terrifying explosion sounded, causing the seats under their feet to sway slightly. Their bodies involuntarily swayed, and many people fell from their seats and rolled around.
For a moment, screams sounded in the audience, but they were completely drowned by the explosion. They only saw many people open their mouths in fear. The situation looked terrifying but laughable.
After a long time, the light of the explosion and the intense sound gradually dissipated. The people who had fallen into panic finally slowly recovered.
Everyone looked at the distant competition venue in shock, but they discovered that this extremely huge competition venue with a diameter of more than five kilometers had actually completely disappeared. From the edge of the competition venue to the center, a huge pit that could not be seen at the bottom had completely swallowed the entire competition venue.
In the air above the arena, Selemo was pale and floating weakly.
Looking at the area covered by the arena, there was no sign of Chu Nan.
Everyone looked at the arena in a daze. There was only one thought in their minds.
Could it be that Chu Nan… had already been blown to ashes by the ball of light and died just like that?
The arena fell silent at the same time.
All the reporters in the media audience fell silent. Even the reporters of the United States of Melaita did not look happy at all.
Seeing such a terrifying thing happen with their own eyes and seeing the terrifying strike of Selemo earlier, they had lost the ability to think about Chu Nan’s death and lose the competition. There was only extreme shock in their minds.
Locket was silent for a moment before sighing and gently patting Yang Xirui’s shoulder.
“Miss Yang, it’s not easy for such a genius to appear in your Earth Federation, but he encountered misfortune here. It’s really a huge loss for your Earth Federation.”
He wanted to comfort her again, but he was surprised to discover that Yang Xirui had turned to look at him with a relaxed smile. She did not have any intention of being shocked or sad. Instead, she seemed to ask strangely, “Unfortunate? What’s unfortune?”
Locket was stunned and pointed at the arena. He wanted to say, “It’s already like this. Do you think Chu Nan can still survive?”
However, just as he was about to speak, he was surprised to discover that the reporters of the Earth Federation on the other side also did not have any shocked expressions. Instead, their expressions were relaxed, as if they did not see what had happened.
Locket could not help but look at Yang Xirui and this group of reporters from the Earth Federation in confusion. He could not understand why they had such a reaction.
In the organizing committee office, the staff member who had persuaded Supremacy Melanie to attack had a pale face and an extremely ugly expression.
Although the loss of the arena being blown up was huge, it was not a serious problem. The true reason was that a highly anticipated participant like Chu Nan had lost his life in the competition.
In the history of the Orion Arm Martial Arts Academy Alliance Competition, there was no lack of precedents of participating students directly losing their lives in the competition. If only ordinary participating students who were not noticed died, the organizing committee would at most need to make a certain amount of compensation to suppress this matter.
However, now that Chu Nan was receiving so much attention from the outside world, even if everyone saw with their own eyes that he was completely courting death, the organizing committee would still be involved.
He could completely imagine how much doubt the organizing committee would suffer, including him and even the United States of Melaita.
After thinking for a moment, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. He turned to look at Supremacy Melanie with a long face.
If the outside world knew that Supremacy Melanie was here and did not save Chu Nan, would the pressure he and the organizing committee endure be much lower?
However, this thought only circled in his mind, and he did not dare to say anything.
How could he dare to make a Star-Grade Martial Artist take the blame for him? Just this thought was enough to consign him to eternal damnation.
Supremacy Melanie looked at him in amusement.
“What? You think Chu Nan is dead?”
The staff member looked even more depressed, thinking to himself that Supremacy Melanie was still in the mood to joke at a time like this.
However, when he turned to look at the virtual screen again, his eyes immediately widened in shock.
