Chapter 573: Chapter 310 - Just a Little Skill, Nothing More Than This _2
At this point, there was no choice left. It was time to risk it all.
Boom!
The pride of the Hundred Blades Gate made his move again, his attack now more ferocious than before. With each of his hundred blades stacked into one strike, and every hundred strikes into one slash, this was undoubtedly his most powerful killing move.
"So, this is the unique skill of the Hundred Blades Gate?"
"How powerful!"
The crowd of martial artists was astounded.
Hovering over the arena, layers of blade lights compacted in the blink of an eye, forming a single slash down from the sky, illuminating the atmosphere. It was as though with one slash, he was about to split the heavens and Earth in two!
"He's using his life-risking killing move!"
The Thousand Martial Lord and others all wore serious expressions.
Would his life-risking technique be able to kill Xu Yan?
Or, could it perhaps heavily wound him?
Xu Yan released a sword swing, revealing a mirage of mountains and rivers. The layer upon layer of sword light seemed to dissolve all attacks within the landscape.
An effortless sword stroke, but abundant with endless killing intent.
"The time is now!"
The Hundred Blades champion stiffened, and abruptly, a surge of crimson emerged from within him.
A terrifying killing intent descended abruptly!
Whoosh!
The bloody blade light breached the distance and barrier, appearing immediately in front of Xu Yan!
This horrifying killing intent carried a sense of absolute taboo.
However, upon deploying his life-threatening move, the Hundred Blades champion seemed to have lost his divine soul. His life force was almost entirely depleted, and his physical body withered visibly.
Yet, he wore a smile.
How was Xu Yan supposed to defend against this attack?
The moment the life-threatening move was revealed, all the martial artists were taken aback. What kind of terrifying secret technique was this?
Tian Ji's face darkened, as a halberd instantly appeared in his hand.
However, even if he wanted to help, it was already too late!
This attack was too quick and too powerful. No one anticipated that the pride of the Hundred Blades Gate could deliver such a terrifying strike.
This had surpassed the offensive power that this realm could muster!
"Despicable!"
Tian Ji was filled with surprise and rage. This kind of secret technique must've been cultivated with the assistance of the most powerful being from the Thousand Martial Hall.
Is this the true depth and means of the Transcendent Spirit Sect?
Although shameless, in the rules of the competition among geniuses, there was no limitation on self-immolating attacks!
As for the allegation of the most powerful beings assisting in cultivation, there was no evidence the Thousand Martial Hall would admit that. Also, there was no such limitation in the rules of the competition.
No one anticipated such methods when they drafted the rules of the competition!
No one had expected the Hundred Blades champion to burst out with such a terrifying killing intent, including Xu Yan.
That was the extent of the Hundred Blades pride's strength.
Just as Xu Yan was about to finish his opponent off with a single sword stroke, a sudden killing intent descended.
The bloody blade glow seemed to carry a scent of taboo.
This was a strike powered by the burning of his divine soul and life force.
In the blink of an eye, everything was consumed to fuel the attack, a secret technique not something the Hundred Blades champion could cultivate alone. Even if he cultivated such a technique, it wouldn't allow him to burn his divine soul and vitality instantly into a single attack!
His realm would not allow it!
Moreover, there were constraints when one chose to burn their divine soul and life force willingly.
Undoubtedly, a more powerful being had helped him cultivate it, prepared beforehand so that it could be executed in an instant!
The life-risking killing move arrived suddenly. The bloody blade light closed in, and a crisis fell abruptly.
Though the killing intent came suddenly, Xu Yan was not in the Divine Intent State but the Divine Origin Realm, his martial arts experience already extraordinarily rich.
His ability to handle a crisis was in no way inferior.
Despite being his first time facing such an abrupt crisis, Xu Yan did not panic or lose his composure.
Whoosh!
In an instant, Xu Yan disappeared from his original spot, moving to a different location.
Movement Shift!
However, his expression slightly changed.
The blood-red blade light did not change its course due to his evasion but went after him again!
"Humph!"
Xu Yan harrumphed. The blood-red blade light, burning the opponent's divine soul, had locked onto him, rendering evasion useless. Only raw power could annihilate this attack!
Whoosh!
The blood-red blade light was incredibly close in an instant. Xu Yan didn't dodge. He pointed his two fingers at it. As the divine origin circulated, the sword light illuminated the heaven and earth, carrying a sense of vast righteousness.
Clang!
All the martial artists heard a sword chant in their ears, and then saw Xu Yan thrust out his sword. This sword seemed to conjure a bolt of thunder out of thin air, like a sword of heavenly punishment.
Thunder Shocking Sword!
Pop!
The thunderous sword, like a divine punishment, and the blood-red blade light collided together. A muffled boom echoed with a 'dong' sound.
In mid-air, the thunder exploded, and the blood-red light, like a blood-red firework, exploded in mid-air, swallowed up by the thunder and dissipated into nothingness.
Pop!
The aftermath of the battle swept down. The Heaven's Chosen of Hundred Blade Sect, who was plummeting downward due to the exertion of burning his life force, was engulfed by the aftermath, his body collapsed and turned into flying ashes and dissipated.
Silence!
Such a terrifying strike didn't heavily injure Xu Yan. Instead, he easily blocked it.
At this moment, Xu Yan held his sword, his eyes sharp as he looked at the mountain gate of the Thousand Martial Hall.
People say that Thousand Martial Hall is the most shameless, and this time, it has been deeply proven.
"Such petty tricks, even if you run out of life force and divine soul, it is nothing more than that!"
Xu Yan's sarcastic voice echoed out.
The Thousand Martial Lord and all the elders had terribly gloomy expressions.
The Heavenly Chosen of the Hundred Blade Sect suddenly used the life-burning assassination method, not only did it not kill Xu Yan, but it couldn't even substantially wound him.
Xu Yan's strength once again surpassed expectations!
If this man doesn't die, they felt restless!
It was as if they saw the shadow of the Blood Demon of the past. It was because of their contempt and carelessness that the disaster of the Blood Demon occurred!
"This is serious, really serious!"
Cui Huayu wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, his gaze at the arrogant young man holding the sword, full of admiration.
A monstrous talent has emerged in this Ling Domain, and it's even more terrifying than the Blood Demon of the past!
"Burning life to kill, the people of Thousand Martial Hall, even prepared for this. I didn't expect Xu Yan to block it. Terrifying!"
Being one of the true inheritors of the Yu Ling Mansion, Cui Huayu naturally knew about the means of the Thousand Martial Hall.
Yarong stood on a big tree, just before, she thought Xu Yan was undoubtedly going to die.
But as a result, not only did he survived, but he was unscathed!
"Xu Yan has taken it, he is prepared, next time it might not be able to cause him harm."
The Elders in charge of the blade technique said solemnly.
The remaining Heavenly Chosen, their strength is similar to that of the Hundred Blade Sect's. The power of their life-burning assassin technique isn't much different either. If Xu Yan could block the life-burning assassin technique of the Hundred Blade Sect's Chosen, he could naturally block the others too.
The Thousand Martial Lord took a deep breath, "So what? We'll still try Xu Yan's strength, we'll still test his coping measures."
The Heavenly Chosen of the Seven Sects and Eight Families of the Three Kingdoms are merely cannon fodders, used to probe Xu Yan's response. The real Heavenly Chosen of the Thousand Martial Hall can subsequently strike in a targeted manner.
"What if Xu Yan doesn't continue to challenge?"
"Heh, then we'll challenge him in turn! I don't believe it, he can suppress everyone!"
The Thousand Martial Hall lord said darkly.
Even if it takes continuous fights, they must keep Xu Yan, otherwise, where would be the face of the Thousand Martial Hall?
"You trash of Thousand Martial Hall, I want to see how many lives you have to burn."
Xu Yan smiled coldly, pointed his sword, and arrogantly said: "Come on, just like last time, five of you come together, I will challenge you five alone!"
At these words, all the martial artists were shocked.
The blow just now was already quite terrifying. Is Xu Yan not afraid of five people launching it at the same time?
Could it be that he is so self-confident, he can withstand the attack of five people?
"A bit arrogant!"
Yarong whispered to herself.
"Young people, they're impulsive!"
Tian Ji shook his head and sighed.
Cui Huayu was so excited, he continued stuffing Ling beans into his mouth, chewing them loudly. His excited face turned red, and he mumbled: "Unbelievable, unbelievable, this is too thrilling!"
"Indulge him, I want to see where does he Xu Yan get his arrogant confidence from!"
The chief blade elder said angrily.
Looking at the five chosen to fight, he commanded, "Give it your all, let's launch the life-burning killing technique together!"
"Yes, Elder!"
The Heavenly Chosen from the Seven Sects and Eight Families nodded their heads with determined expressions, ready to stake it all.
Whoosh!
Five figures soared into the sky, directly surrounding Xu Yan, their intentions to kill ferocious and intense.
The martial artists watched closely, staring hard, with their hearts clenched. The five Heavenly Chosen surrounded Xu Yan in the middle, ready to execute that terrifying killing technique in an instant. Xu Yan had no place to hide!
