Chapter 550: You'll See!
At this moment, the clamor that filled the entire Spirit Sword Peak fell silent once again.
Even though Mu Yao and Su Yi emerged victorious, surprising everyone, the true climax of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition, the ultimate showdown, was finally about to unfold.
"Boom!"
On the massive dueling platform, the air crackled with energy, as the radiant light dimmed and the overwhelming aura slowly settled into calmness. At last, two young figures finally stood face to face.
Gazing at the two remaining young figures on the dueling platform, the outcome was a surprise to everyone, including the elders and Dharma Protectors standing on the high platform.
No one expected that the last two remaining contestants would be these unexpected underdogs.
These two individuals may be young in age, but they have both displayed a jaw-dropping level of strength, defeating Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng to enter the fierce competition for the first and second place!
Both Yun Lingfeng and Liu Yunchuan possessed incredible strength and reputation within the Divine Sword School.
Even in other parts of Central Province, Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng, these two disciples, had a certain level of fame. They were the representatives of the younger generation of disciples from the Divine Sword School!
Especially when Liu Yunchuan revealed his secret weapon and Yun Lingfeng's identity as a Soul Tamer, it further proved their strength and deserving fame.
But in the end, the outcome turned out differently. These two disciples, Yun Lingfeng and Liu Yunchuan, who were considered extraordinary talents within the Divine Sword School, suffered defeat at the hands of Mu Yao and Su Yi. The manner of their defeat was quite unfortunate and pitiful.
In the midst of the crowd, the expressions on Futeng Guang and his brother's faces were gloomy and lifeless, filled with a sense of unwilling despair.
Today, their emotions were like riding a roller coaster, experiencing intense ups and downs.
In the end, it seemed like everything had settled down and Su Yi was believed to be doomed. Little did anyone know, the outcome turned out to be different. Yun Lingfeng, who revealed his identity as a Soul Tamer, was still defeated.
"Congratulations, you have made it to the final round!"
The voice of Dharma Protector Hou Changming is clear and can be heard distinctly, enough for all disciples present to hear it clearly.
At this moment, Dharma Protector Hou Changming was looking at the two young figures on the final stage. His gaze was filled with awe and wonder as he looked around the entire plaza. Eventually, his eyes settled on Su Yi and Mu Yao. Suppressing his amazed astonishment, he continued to speak, "Now, I announce that the final round of the duel begins!"
As Dharma Protector Hou Changming's words faded, there was a noticeable absence of the usual lively atmosphere that would fill the Spirit Sword Peak during the final duel of the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. Instead, it was quite calm, with only a few quiet whispers heard among the crowd.
Everything that happened today was so astonishing that everyone present was left in a state of shock, unable to fully grasp what had just happened.
Moreover, the two individuals who were in the final duel, Mu Yao and Su Yi, were not well-known to the crowd.
However, this final duel captured the attention of everyone in the room, even more so than the tense and highly anticipated final duels in previous Grand Swordsmanship Competitions.
Everyone was eager to find out who would come out on top in the end, between these two unexpected contenders. They were like dark horses, mysterious and intriguing, leaving everyone curious to see who would emerge victorious.
As all eyes were fixed on them, Mu Yao's captivating gaze fell directly on Su Yi, a gentle smile forming at the corners of her enchanting face.
Facing Su Yi, who had just defeated Yun Lingfeng, Mu Yao appeared seemingly unruffled. Instead of showing surprise, her smile carried a mix of anticipation and irritation. She spoke, "I'm not surprised that you made it this far. This time, we can finally have a proper battle, and I will defeat you with my own hands."
"I didn't provoke or bother you. Why do you keep bothering me? Could it be that you have developed feelings for me?"
Su Yi pouted as he thought about how this woman kept causing trouble for him. However, something inside him told him that she was the true powerhouse. Defeating Liu Yunchuan, she had clearly not unleashed her full strength, making it difficult to figure her out.
"You..."
Mu Yao's delicate face immediately flushed with anger and her expression changed, but she quickly suppressed her emotions. Her face regained a calm demeanor as she knew she shouldn't let this guy affect her. Today, she only wanted to teach him a lesson and didn't feel like engaging in verbal arguments with him.
"I don't feel like engaging in verbal arguments with you anymore. Show me your full strength, otherwise you will be defeated miserably!" Mu Yao spoke, though she had adjusted her emotions, only she knew that there were still many fluctuations in her heart.
This made Mu Yao quite surprised within herself. She couldn't believe that she was actually being influenced by this guy.
"Inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, it was you who spread the message that the Dark Spirit Fruits were on me, right?"
Su Yi also became serious. It seemed that this woman didn't know what kind of abilities she possessed, as if she could tame the demon beasts.
Su Yi guessed that this woman later seemed to have tamed the Eight-winged Demon Python. Maybe she also understood the language of beasts and learned about the Dark Spirit Fruits from the mouth of the Eight-winged Demon Python. Then, she intentionally spread the news, causing trouble for all the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School to come looking for him.
"You guessed it right, not only you can understand the language of animals."
Mu Yao softly spoke, but a hint of triumph flickered in her beautiful eyes. It was her plan to make all the direct disciples in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords search for Su Yi.
However, Mu Yao didn't expect that in the end, all the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School were mobilized, but they couldn't do anything to this person alone.
"It's really you!"
Su Yi's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder everyone insisted that the Dark Spirit Fruits were with him. It turned out that it was indeed the woman standing before him who was responsible for all this.
Looking at the expression on Su Yi's face, Mu Yao seemed to feel a little better. Her eyes widened slightly, with a hint of mockery, as she said, "So what if it was me who said it!"
"Since it's you, I'll have to be a little impolite to you today!"
Su Yi was very unhappy and clenched his fists.
"Oh really, I'd like to see at what stage you've reached, I'm just afraid you don't have that capability!"
Mu Yao's hair strands quivered as she knew that Su Yi hadn't fully exerted his true strength up until now. But she wasn't worried. She herself had done the same. Today, she was determined to teach this guy a lesson.
As Mu Yao finished speaking, a gentle movement could be felt from her graceful body. Her orange garment fluttered, and a subtle energy gradually emerged, spreading out and creating a vibrant wave.
"I will make sure you know!"
Su Yi waved his fist, feeling a surge of determination in his heart.
This woman is not very old, but she is mysterious and even stronger than Liu Yunchuan, Yun Lingfeng, and the others. This ignited a true sense of determination in Su Yi's heart, as he yearned for a battle with her.
Mu Yao looked at Su Yi, and a gentle curve lifted the corners of her delicate, rosy lips. Then, a golden gleam emerged from the depths of her beautiful eyes, adding an unexpected sharpness to her appearance. A fierce aura quietly emanated from her enchanting body.
"Golden elemental energy..."
Su Yi's gaze remained fixated on the graceful figure. He observed the subtle sharp aura emanating from her body, as a surging elemental energy quietly stirred within him. It seemed that this woman possessed greater skill in the element of gold.
"Mu Yao seems very strong!"
From a distance, Xu Jiahui watched the battle on the stage and her clear eyes revealed a sense of deep concern that she couldn't hide. She could feel the powerful aura emanating from Mu Yao.
"I wonder who will be the ultimate winner!"
"It is said that Mu Yao is a disciple of a very respected elder, with a high status!"
"Su Yi, who is a disciple of Elder Su, holds a high rank in the school too!"
"This Su Yi and Mu Yao, they seem quite young, but both are incredibly strong!"
"I wonder who will win in the end!"
"..."
Feeling the intense confrontation between the two on the duel platform, the discussions among the spectators grew louder and louder.
Although many people disliked Su Yi, when it came to the final showdown, there was no doubt that he had captured the entire crowd's attention.
This kind of attention, at this moment, was even greater than that of Mu Yao, who had made it to the end.
On the high platform, the elders and Dharma Protectors were silent, their eyes narrowed as they closely watched the duel on the stage.
Those two young individuals, even until now, still held back their true abilities, which made the elders and Dharma Protectors present filled with anticipation.
They wonder which of these two dark horses would come out on top.
"Who do you think is stronger?"
Zhang Diyun, who had stepped back from the inner arena, asked Gu Chenyou beside him. His eyes were narrowed, fixed on the final two individuals on the stage, and they were trembling slightly.
Zhang Diyun originally thought that during the War of Ten Thousand Swords, if Su Yi and Situ Muyang didn't work together, he might not be defeated.
But now, in this moment, Zhang Diyun finally realized that during the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi hadn't really used much of his true strength. Otherwise, Zhang Diyun was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defend against even a single attack.
This greatly upset him, causing him to doubt his natural talents and abilities that he had always been confident about.
"Couldn't tell, both of them were unfathomable."
Gu Chenyou spoke up, his face serious, as he looked at the remaining two individuals on the stage. Today, they had impressed him more than anyone else.
"Hmph, that Su Yi guy will definitely lose!"
Gong Qi spoke, her graceful figure swaying gently. A faint blush adorned her cheeks. She hoped that Mu Yao would win, to triumph over that arrogant opponent.
"It seems someone is paying a lot of attention to Su Yi," Ou Luo said casually.
"I don't care! Who would pay attention to him?" Upon hearing this, Gong Qi immediately glared at Ou Luo.
"I didn't say it was you, haha," Ou Luo chuckled softly.
"You..."
Gong Qi scolded with a delicate voice and stomped her foot angrily.
"Phew..."
On the stage of the showdown, Su Yi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Mu Yao's sharp aura enveloped her at this moment, causing Su Yi to focus inwardly. In his deep gaze, a hint of fiery red color started to emerge.
When a hint of fiery red appeared in Su Yi's eyes, Mu Yao immediately gripped a precious sword in her hand. Suddenly, everyone could feel a surging wave of golden elemental energy emanating from her graceful body, like a sudden storm.
At this moment, Mu Yao looked majestic, with a radiant aura surrounding her. The sword in her hand emitted a humming sound, reminiscent of the wind and thunder. Her presence was graceful and unparalleled, combining beauty and sharpness in a captivating and enchanting way.
Mu Yao slightly raised her gaze and flashed a smile at Su Yi. She said, "Today, let's see where you can escape to!"
