Chapter 536: Situ Muyang’s Secret Weapons
“Elder Zhangsun, what do you think?”
Situ Liuyun’s eyes were shining with a constant sparkle. He turned towards Elder Zhangsun, who was standing on his left, and asked in a soft voice.
“That’s interesting!”
Elder Zhangsun murmured a few words, his dark eyes gleaming with an enigmatic glow.
On the dueling stage below, Ouyang Ran struggled to rise. He looked disheveled, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His expression was blank, his shock evident, as though he couldn’t comprehend his defeat.
As the one directly involved, Ouyang Ran could truly feel the overwhelming force of Su Yi’s recent punch. The momentum behind it was utterly terrifying!
Su Yi stood firm on the dueling stage, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He realized that, regardless of who advanced, they would all be his future opponents. He firmly believed that understanding his rivals well would secure him countless victories.
“Puff…”
A figure coughed up blood and was thrown backward, crashing onto the dueling stage.
It was Jiang Xiwen, Yun Lingfeng’s opponent. His internal energy shattered on impact, leaving him disoriented. Blood seeped from numerous sword wounds across his body.
“I lost!” Jiang Xiwen muttered, fully aware that he was outmatched. The gap between them was far too vast.
Yun Lingfeng’s face remained expressionless, as though the outcome had been inevitable. His gaze then shifted to the dueling stage where Su Yi stood.
When Yun Lingfeng spotted the young man in the blue robe still standing tall, a subtle, cold smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.
“Bang!”
A faint purple figure was sent flying backward from the dueling stage, crashing to the ground. It was Mu Yao’s opponent, Nan Liran.
“How is this even possible? How could you be this strong?” Nan Liran exclaimed.
From beneath the dueling stage, Nan Liran slowly rose. His pale face tilted upward as he stared at the young girl in orange, his eyes wide with astonishment.
“Squawk!”
Not far away, from the dueling stage, came a fierce bird’s cry, and a dazzling light burst forth. From under Situ Muyang’s feet, there emerged a shadow of a black giant eagle, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky for a few meters. Its black light filled the air, and its fierce eyes resembled a small blood-red moon, giving off a menacing and intimidating aura.
“Roarrrr…”
As the shadow of the black giant eagle appeared, radiating a powerful aura, it caused the whole arena to tremble in fear.
“Transforming from energy, is this the Dark Phantom Falcon?”
Some people exclaimed, “This is the Dark Phantom Falcon, a true demon beast.”
“Fight!” Situ Muyang’s eyes were filled with determination, shining brightly. His hair was already disheveled as he soared through the air on the Dark Phantom Falcon, emitting a powerful and fierce black light. He descended towards Liu Yunchuan, aiming to suppress him, causing even the surrounding emptiness to tremble.
“It turns out it was the Dark Phantom Falcon!”
Liu Yunchuan smiled gently, dressed in a simple cloud robe. His appearance seemed calm and elegant, but at this moment, his aura burst forth, completely transforming him.
“Boom!”
Liu Yunchuan, who possessed the power of the golden element, extended his hand. With a dazzling golden light emanating from his palm, he struck ahead.
His handprint expanded as it faced the wind, instantly growing to the size of several meters before descending from the empty space with a powerful strike.
Situ Muyang faced off against the Dark Phantom Falcon. They collided with each other, causing a burst of light and a thunderous sound. A powerful wind swept through, shaking the empty space!
But the Dark Phantom Falcon was shattered by the impact. Liu Yunchuan’s strength was simply too powerful.
“Boom!”
As Situ Muyang’s presence grew stronger, the Wind Battle Armor fluttered and lifted him into the air. A fierce wind whistled around him as a radiant light shone like the rising sun. With a forceful and sharp movement, he stomped down directly towards Liu Yunchuan with great power and determination!
This is Situ Muyang’s Stormy Wave Kick, which made the empty space boil. Light and storms gathered, creating a resounding and ear-shattering force that seemed to shatter the void, leaving people’s hearts trembling with fear!
Liu Yunchuan’s eyes showed a slight change, but at the same time, he didn’t retreat. Instead, he punched directly upwards to clash head-on.
As he raised his hand, the punch unleashed a surge of electric energy that crackled through the air. It carried a fierce and dominating force!
The fists collided with a loud and thunderous bang, causing the residual energy to scatter and create powerful shockwaves. The howling gale swept through like a raging flood.
“Swoosh… clomp clomp…”
Situ Muyang, wearing his Wind Battle Armor, was sent flying with a powerful impact. As he finally landed, he stumbled backward a few steps, his face turning pale. At that moment, the glow of his Wind Battle Armor also started to fade significantly.
“Very strong!”
Su Yi’s gaze fell upon Liu Yunchuan’s figure. Su Yi had a clear understanding of Situ Muyang’s strength. With his cultivation at the fourth stage of the Yuan Spirit Realm, along with his natural talent and the powerful Wind Battle Armor, he could easily contend with most fifth-stage cultivators of the Yuan Spirit Realm without being defeated.
Liu Yunchuan, also known as Liu, seemed to be fighting without holding back, but Su Yi could sense that Liu had been holding back his true strength throughout the battle.
Situ Muyang steadied himself, stopping his retreat. He planted his foot firmly on the ground and fixed his gaze upon Liu Yunchuan in front of him. His expression showed no trace of carelessness, but there was an unwavering determination in his eyes. He quickly formed hand seals in his hands.
“Boom!”
As Situ Muyang formed his hand seals, his body started to emit energy waves. The Wind Battle Armor on his body shattered, but from within him, a profound black light emerged.
In an instant, a deep and mysterious black light enveloped Situ Muyang, transforming into a protective armor that covered his entire body. His figure began to grow bigger.
“This little boy…”
On the elevated platform, Situ Liuyun’s eyebrows slightly raised, and his gaze was fixed on the dueling stage. He felt a mixture of anticipation and concern, making him a bit nervous.
The entire crowd couldn’t help but gasp as they witnessed Situ Muyang’s body visibly grow larger. His once clear gaze turned icy and sharp while his body seemed to be covered in shiny black scales.
At this moment, Situ Muyang seemed to have transformed into a fierce humanoid bird. The surrounding energy surged, causing even the air to tremble with a mighty gust.
At that moment, mysterious patterns started appearing on Situ Muyang’s body. These patterns were ancient and held tremendous power, connecting him to the energies of the heavens and the earth.
From Situ Muyang’s body, faint echoes of ancient bird cries could be heard, resonating through the empty space and causing a harmonious response from all directions.
In a fleeting moment, the demon beasts living near Spirit Sword Peak seemed to sense something. They roared and trembled in response, echoing the unknown.
“Boom!”
On the stage of confrontation, a powerful surge of invisible energy from the heavens and earth flowed into Situ Muyang’s body. It filled him with great strength, causing his presence to grow. The entire stage of the duel trembled in response.
The stage of the duel had already been prepared beforehand, otherwise, at this moment, it would surely crumble into pieces.
Su Yi’s eyes flickered, and from a distance, he could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Situ Muyang’s body. This must be his true trump card, he thought to himself.
At that moment, Situ Muyang emitted a strange aura, and Su Yi could still sense a hint of a supernatural presence coming from him.
This presence was eerie but not evil, ancient and vast, exuding a tremendous sense of awe!
“Fight!”
With a loud shout, Situ Muyang stood tall, and his figure burst out like a majestic eagle spreading its wings. His right hand extended, fingers slightly bent, covered in thick black scales that gleamed with a mysterious darkness. It seemed as if they were made of a black divine metal, expanding and swelling in size.
“Haha…”
As the claws passed, the empty space bore five straight marks, leaving indents in the air. They tore through the atmosphere with a frightening force, astonishing everyone in the audience with wide-eyed amazement!
At this moment, Liu Yunchuan was completely surprised. His eyes dimmed, and his robe fluttered. A precious sword appeared in his hand. The sword crackled with an aura of wind and thunder. In an instant, countless sword glimmers shot out, twinkling and arranging themselves, eventually forming a small tide of sword glimmers.
The wave of sword glimmers, fierce and powerful, collided with the ripples emanating from Situ Muyang’s claw. They clashed with great force and then shattered at the same moment.
“Splash!”
The dazzling light and powerful waves of energy spread in all directions. A sword and a claw forcefully broke through the barrier, emerging from the gust of terrifying wind. Finally, they collided with a resounding impact.
“Ding dong…”
The sword glimmer and claw imprint collided, making a loud clang that echoed, and sparks flew in all directions.
On the high platform, at this moment, Situ Muyang and many elders furrowed their brows with concern.
“Swoosh…”
Inside the claw imprint of Situ Muyang, sparks flew and golden weapons clashed without stopping. Then, he stumbled back with unsteady steps.
With each step Situ Muyang took back, the dark aura on his body and claw imprint dissipated, and his figure returned to normal.
When Situ Muyang finally steadied himself and stepped back, he retreated to the edge of the arena. His face turned pale, with a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth. On the palm of his hand, a sword mark appeared, oozing fresh drops of blood.
Liu Yunchuan also took several steps back, his neatly tied black hair with a bamboo hairpin becoming slightly disheveled.
“Give me two more years, no, one year is enough, I will definitely defeat you!”
Situ Muyang glanced at Liu Yunchuan, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. He spoke with a serious tone.
Once he finished speaking, Situ Muyang turned around and swiftly leapt off the arena.
He was already aware that defeating Liu Yunchuan at this moment was beyond his capability.
As he watched Situ Muyang’s retreating figure, Liu Yunchuan’s gaze shifted slightly. At that instant, astonishment filled his heart.
At such a young age, Situ Muyang had already reached an incredible level.
At his age, Liu Yunchuan felt that he couldn’t even compare.
Liu Yunchuan, in that moment, began questioning his own innate abilities, which he had always held in high regard. When compared to the young man before him, what value did his own talents truly have?
“He truly lived up to his journey from there…”
On the high platform, the second elder, Changsun Liuren, and the third elder, Wu Chaoyang, both looked on with amazement, overwhelmed by what they were witnessing.
A faint hint of amusement appeared in Situ Muyang’s eyes, quietly disappearing as he regained his calm.
As the disciples gathered around, those who had just witnessed the battle between Situ Muyang and Liu Yunchuan were still in a state of astonishment.
Though Situ Muyang had voluntarily stepped down from the duel stage, no one dared to question his strength anymore.
How many disciples from the entire Divine Sword School of this generation could force Liu Yunchuan to draw his sword?
Moreover, despite his youth, Situ Muyang possessed such overwhelming power!
No one would question that, were they of the same age, Liu Yunchuan would likely have been unable to match Situ Muyang. That’s what truly made Situ Muyang exceptional!
“Plop…”
“Bang!”
The duels on the surrounding fighting stages were also nearing their end, filled with intense excitement.
Zhang Diyun was defeated by Ying Qianqian. He had already sustained severe injuries in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. While he had made some progress in his recovery over the past few days, he was still not fully healed.
Furthermore, Zhang Diyun’s strength was somewhat inferior to Ying Qianqian’s. In this moment, it was difficult for him to move on to the next round.
Qin Fang seemed to be having bad luck, and Gong Qi, filled with frustration, released her anger. As soon as she struck, she unleashed a relentless barrage, instantly knocking Qin Fang off the fighting stage.
Ou Luo and Gu Chenyou both defeated Xia Changqing and Yue Shanhe, respectively, advancing to the next round.
“Ding!”
The bells rang once again across Spirit Sword Peak.
“The second round of the competition has ended. Congratulations to the eight who remain on the stage. They will take a half-hour break, while the other eight will advance to the next round. Best of luck to all!”
The voice of Dharma Protector Hou Changming resonated once more, echoing through the surroundings.
