Chapter 540: I Have a Bad Temper!
Mu Yao and Su Yi’s advancement to the top four left the onlookers amazed and astonished.
In the crowd, Futeng Guang and his brother Teng Ming couldn’t hide their menacing expressions. Their eyes gleamed with coldness – this was the outcome they had dreaded to see.
“Boom!”
At that moment, the remaining four colossal battle platforms once again shimmered with radiant light.
On the ancient, weathered platforms, intricate patterns resembling mysterious runes emerged anew. As they filled the air, powerful energy enveloped the entire square, causing it to quiver and shake.
The four battle platforms moved across the square with a constant rumbling sound. They crisscrossed and changed positions, creating a dynamic display.
With a loud rumble, the four platforms collided and merged, transforming into two larger battle platforms that faced each other from a distance.
On one platform, Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan stood facing each other.
On the other, Su Yi and Yun Lingfeng gazed at each other from afar.
This matchup left everyone in the audience quite surprised.
“It looks like Mu Yao will be stopped here!”
“Su Yi is very strong, but he’ll also be defeated, right?”
Among the spectators, many discussed how Mu Yao and Su Yi were facing Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng, who were ranked first and second in the Sword Tower. These two formidable beings had always held the top positions, and few believed Mu Yao and Su Yi could defeat them.
“Boss Su Yi, keep going!”
Zhang Qing, Xu Jiahui, Qing Chao, and others had already stepped aside and were anxiously watching the battle stage. They tightly clenched their fists with nervous expressions, silently cheering for Su Yi. They seemed even more nervous than if they themselves were competing.
“Now things are getting interesting.”
On the high platform, many elders and Dharma Protectors showed expressions of anticipation. This showdown seemed to carry special significance.
“What do the two elders think – who will be the two to proceed to the next round?”
On the highest platform, Situ Liuyun quietly asked the two elders beside him.
“It’s really hard to say,” the second elder replied. Even he couldn’t predict the outcome or come to a hasty conclusion.
“In my opinion,” said the third elder, “all four of them are holding back. Who is stronger and who is weaker may require a fierce battle to determine!”
“Hehe, this isn’t good now – that kid is asking for trouble!”
In the crowd gathered at the square, Futeng Ming and Futeng Guang couldn’t help but smirk. They knew Su Yi had put himself in grave danger by facing the one person he should never have crossed paths with.
“This time, Su Yi is in big trouble. Martial Brother Yun Lingfeng will definitely not let him off!”
On the Fifteenth Sword Peak, many disciples now showed smiles of satisfaction.
The Fifteenth Sword Peak had been looked down upon by Su Yi and was unable to hold its head high. It had become the laughingstock of the entire Divine Sword School.
Now, only Yun Lingfeng could prove the true strength of the Fifteenth Sword Peak.
“You are my elder, please go ahead and take action!”
Amidst the buzzing discussions, Liu Yunchuan bowed to Mu Yao on the dueling stage. Despite standing tall, he maintained a graceful yet frail appearance, like a leftover snowflake.
“You have always been first in the Sword Tower, but there’s been much unnecessary talk.”
Mu Yao spoke softly, her lips rosy and delicate. Her slender figure was adorned in an orange garment, radiating grace and elegance. At that moment, though her face lacked a smile, it still exuded captivating beauty.
“Swoosh…”
As soon as the words were spoken, Mu Yao took immediate action. Her delicate hand swept through the air, and amidst the dazzling glow of her energy, a beam of sword light shot out.
It was evident that Mu Yao’s expression showed no signs of carelessness.
Facing Liu Yunchuan, she knew he was stronger than Gu Chenyou, whom she had just faced. Therefore, she took him more seriously and treated him with greater caution.
Liu Yunchuan’s eyes lit up as he stomped his foot on the dueling platform. Energy surged throughout his body, and suddenly, dazzling electric arcs burst forth, swirling around him. A sword appeared in his hand, and a radiant arc of sword light met the electric arcs head-on.
“Rumble, rumble!”
With a dull, thunderous sound, bright flashes of lightning and deafening thunder suddenly appeared on the dueling platform.
At this moment, Liu Yunchuan seemed to sense something. Surrounded by lightning, his every move exuded a terrifying aura. The air became filled with a menacing and powerful presence, sweeping towards Mu Yao.
Such commotion immediately caught Su Yi’s attention.
“Lightning element…”
Su Yi was somewhat surprised. Apart from the five known elements – gold, wood, water, fire, and earth – there were two recognized special attributes in the world. One was the lightning element, and the other was the wind element.
Rumors had it that warriors with these two special attributes were extremely powerful.
After all this time, Su Yi was seeing someone with the lightning attribute for the first time. He had never expected Liu Yunchuan to be a warrior with this attribute.
Su Yi’s gaze swept over to Mu Yao, and he noticed that despite Liu Yunchuan’s domineering presence, she remained calm as she fought him.
“Zoom zoom zoom…”
Liu Yunchuan swung his sword, and at that moment, it was surrounded by arcs of electricity. The gleaming blade seemed to unleash a series of lightning bolts, as electric arcs burst open like flashes of lightning, creating a dazzling spectacle on the duel platform.
“Zoom…”
Mu Yao didn’t back down at all, and the sword in her hand made a sound like wind and thunder. The sword’s radiance filled the air as she skillfully blocked each attack from her opponent.
In this thrilling battle between man and woman, they moved like fierce beasts and graceful birds. One displayed dominating power, while the other possessed captivating grace.
Mu Yao remained calm, her orange attire fluttering as she swung her sword. Every now and then, her fair and slender arms would be revealed, with skin as white as snow. Her beautiful hair danced in the breeze, adding to her captivating presence.
“You have reached this step, which truly surprised me…”
While Su Yi observed the battle between Mu Yao and Liu Yunchuan, such words faintly came from ahead.
With a glance, Su Yi saw Yun Lingfeng slowly approaching step by step, his eyes carrying a chilling darkness without concealment.
Step by step, Yun Lingfeng walked closer, his cold eyes fixed on Su Yi as he said, “Well, it’s for the best. At least now, you have nowhere to escape. Everything you owe will be publicly repaid on this duel stage!”
Su Yi didn’t like Yun Lingfeng from the beginning, so he raised an eyebrow and said, “I don’t remember owing you anything, and I don’t think I ever have!”
“Did you not hurt Teng Ming’s hand? He is my cousin.”
Yun Lingfeng’s steps were accompanied by twinkling lights. It seemed he only took a few steps, but he had already reached the center of the merged duel stage. He paused slightly, a glimmer of coldness flickering in his eyes, and continued, “The humiliation of the Fifteenth Sword Peak is also something you owe. Your actions in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords will also come at a price!”
“Oh, so that’s how it is!”
Su Yi smiled, realizing that Yun Lingfeng and Teng Ming were actually cousins. They both wanted to stand up for the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak.
With a calm gaze, Su Yi said, “Teng Ming and the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak shouldn’t blame others. It would be best if you don’t provoke me either. I have a temper and won’t be polite to you!”
Listening to Su Yi’s words, Yun Lingfeng wasn’t too surprised. He subtly twitched his eyes without showing any trace of emotion.
Yun Lingfeng had originally wanted to stand up for the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak and his brothers Futeng Ming and Futeng Guang. But inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, he had been repeatedly toyed with by Su Yi. Even the Dark Spirit Fruits were taken by Su Yi. The resentment in his heart had changed from what it once was.
No matter what, he was determined to crush this young boy beneath his feet today. He had endured for so long, all for the chance to soar to the top at the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. He truly believed he was unbeatable and wouldn’t allow anyone to frolic before him. The Dark Spirit Fruits were also rightfully his to take.
“Boy, you do have some potential and power, but there are some people you cannot provoke. Even if you are Elder Su’s disciple, they will not protect you today. However, don’t worry – I won’t kill you, but you will pay a price!”
Yun Lingfeng looked at Su Yi, his expression indifferent. He coldly said, “Of course, if you’re scared, you can kneel down and surrender. Maybe I’ll consider letting you go. But what I really hope is that you dare to fight me. That way, I can defeat you!”
“Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng, please teach that little guy a lesson!”
In the crowd, the disciples of the Fifteenth Sword Peak shouted loudly. They vowed to reclaim their honor that had been tarnished.
“It seems that Yun Lingfeng will not easily let Su Yi go!”
“In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, Su Yi also played a trick on Yun Lingfeng. This might cause some trouble!”
Some people whispered among themselves, observing the situation on the duel platform. They could sense that Yun Lingfeng wouldn’t easily let Su Yi off the hook.
“Boss Su Yi, keep going!”
Seeing that Su Yi’s opponent was Yun Lingfeng, who ranked second in the Sword Tower, Zhang Qing, Qing Chao, Wang Fan, and others watched from a distance, their hearts racing in their throats.
On the elevated platform, Elder Bai Mingshan maintained a calm expression. There was a faint smirk in his eyes, barely noticeable, as it quickly disappeared.
With swords crisscrossed behind him, Su Yi stood quietly. The cheers and shouts from the surrounding crowd echoed clearly in his ears. It seemed many people took pleasure in his misfortune.
When Su Yi had arrived at the Divine Sword School, although he had never intended to join, he found himself in it for now. To avoid future troubles and seek tranquility within the school, he knew he needed to establish a powerful presence.
“As you wish, I will give you the chance to defeat me!”
Su Yi walked forward slowly, with a handsome face and a slight smile. However, in his deep and mysterious eyes, a glimmer of coldness and determination flickered.
Before him stood Yun Lingfeng, the perfect opponent through whom he could demonstrate his absolute awe-inspiring presence.
What’s more, Su Yi had already made up his mind. If Yun Lingfeng truly intended to provoke him, he wouldn’t hold back at all.
Su Yi could somewhat sense Yun Lingfeng’s cultivation strength. Perhaps Yun Lingfeng had already reached a cultivation level exceeding the sixth stage of the Yuan Spirit Realm.
But so what? There was nothing to fear. Su Yi had already reached a higher level – even if Yun Lingfeng had reached the seventh stage of the Yuan Spirit Realm, it wouldn’t be a big deal to him.
“Good, at least you have a bit of courage, not running away like last time!”
Looking at Su Yi, who was approaching slowly, Yun Lingfeng’s eyebrows furrowed with a hint of coldness. He subtly shifted half a step to the right, causing his aura to gradually fluctuate. Suddenly, the surrounding wind howled and surged, enveloping the entire arena.
In an instant, the howling wind became as sharp as a blade, carrying a fierce gust that invisibly pressed against Su Yi.
