Chapter 544: Yun Lingfeng’s Secret Weapon!
Fear rippled through the crowd. At this crucial moment, Liu Yunchuan, despite giving his all, had sustained yet another injury.
“Heavens, Mu Yao is terrifying!” whispered onlookers in awe, marveling at the extent of her power.
Liu Yunchuan managed to steady himself after retreating, his eyes crackling with electricity. With utmost concentration, he began forming hand seals in rapid succession.
As Liu Yunchuan wove the seals, the electric arcs surrounding him intensified and enveloped his form. They gradually converged, creating a sphere of lightning that resembled a brilliant sun.
At this point, Liu Yunchuan’s complexion paled significantly, as though he had channeled all his energy into this lightning sphere.
“Eternal Thunderstorm!” he roared, and in that instant, his presence reached its zenith, emanating overwhelming dominance.
In that moment, Liu Yunchuan truly embodied a thunder deity. Each movement he made was accompanied by lightning flashes and thunderous booms, filling the atmosphere with a terrifying aura that seemed capable of annihilating everything in its path!
“Rumble!”
Liu Yunchuan thrust forward the thunderball, which blazed like a radiant sun, wielding the awe-inspiring might of a thunder god. It devastated everything in its trajectory, advancing with a thunderous roar!
Mu Yao’s eyes shimmered with golden light, radiating both beauty and authority. She raised her gaze, exuding a mesmerizing presence!
“Rumble!”
The thunderball descended, trailing sparks of lightning. Electric arcs emerged like gleaming silver serpents, blanketing the entire arena in a spectacular display.
Countless streams of electricity illuminated the sky, creating a dazzling spectacle reminiscent of brilliant fireworks.
“Crash!”
Mu Yao moved with grace, uttering a single word. Her figure glowed with golden light, creating a hazy silhouette around her elegant form. With a simple sleeve movement, she unleashed palm strikes at incredible speed. In mere moments, it appeared as though she had launched countless attacks, all palm imprints ultimately merging into one.
In that instant, Mu Yao’s beauty and majesty perfectly intertwined, both enchanting and fierce.
Waves of palm imprints manifested, transforming into brilliant golden wings. The golden radiance glittered like sharp, menacing blades, soaring through empty space before colliding with the massive thunderball that resembled a lightning sun.
“Boom, rumble, rumble…”
Spirit Sword Peak nearly overturned as space itself trembled violently. The air rippled with continuous disturbances.
Golden light and electric arcs spread outward, sweeping through the area before quietly dissipating at a certain distance.
With each golden palm imprint Mu Yao released, the thunderous sphere propelled by Liu Yunchuan diminished further. Eventually, it completely dissolved upon the dueling platform.
“Ha ha…”
In that moment, amid sparkling golden light, Mu Yao’s graceful figure appeared mysteriously before Liu Yunchuan. Her hands, shrouded in radiant gold, swiftly struck his chest, releasing a dazzling burst of golden energy.
The surge of power caused Liu Yunchuan’s battle armor to crackle and scatter, while the space around him thundered violently!
“Plop…”
Liu Yunchuan coughed up bright red blood as his body flew backward, crashing heavily in the distance. His thunderous battle armor instantly lost its luminescence.
The entire audience trembled in fear at this terrifying sight.
“Huff…huff…”
They gasped in shock, their mouths dry as they swallowed heavily.
On the high platform, the elders and Dharma Protectors watched in shock, their hearts filled with trepidation.
Liu Yunchuan had reached the peak of the Yuan Spirit Realm, and with his precious battle armor from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, one could only imagine his formidable power.
When Liu Yunchuan revealed his powerful battle armor and the aura of his advanced Yuan Spirit Realm cultivation, the elders and Dharma Protectors initially believed he would maintain his position as number one.
Such strength was truly remarkable.
But now, they trembled with fear as they witnessed his defeat at Mu Yao’s hands. She had overcome him in a direct and decisive manner.
“Their power has grown beyond imagination. This aura feels mysterious,” Su Yi mused, surprised to discover how powerful this woman had become. She had clearly made significant breakthroughs during this time.
Su Yi recalled their previous battle, realizing that Mu Yao’s current strength far surpassed her former capabilities.
As Su Yi secretly probed her soul power, he sensed something unusual about the golden aura emanating from her. It carried an absolute dominance that transcended his comprehension.
“Plop…”
Liu Yunchuan’s eyes widened as he regained consciousness. His ancient battle armor appeared dull and faded. Another mouthful of blood escaped his lips as his face turned deathly pale.
Looking at Mu Yao, his eyes filled with astonishment.
“You possess great strength and have received an opportunity, but it seems time was insufficient,” Mu Yao addressed Liu Yunchuan, her words carrying hidden meaning.
She understood his strength and his battle armor’s power. Given more time, confronting him with her current abilities wouldn’t have been so straightforward.
“In the end, defeat was mine,” Liu Yunchuan admitted, his eyes showing regret. As his lightning battle armor faded, a bitter smile crossed his lips. He bowed politely to Mu Yao before descending from the arena.
“Liu Yunchuan has fallen!”
The crowd was shocked; none had anticipated Liu Yunchuan’s defeat. Mu Yao’s power had far exceeded anyone’s expectations.
“Both Senior Brother Liu Yunchuan and Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng seem to have lost.”
“This Grand Swordsmanship Competition revealed three unexpected talents. Mu Yao, Su Yi, and Situ Muyang proved incredibly formidable!”
“Mu Yao and Su Yi actually defeated Senior Brother Liu Yunchuan and Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng!”
Discussions buzzed throughout the crowd. With Liu Yunchuan defeated and Yun Lingfeng appearing depleted, it seemed both had fallen. These unexpected talents claiming the top positions was truly remarkable.
“Mu Yao and Su Yi possess extraordinary strength!”
One disciple remained stunned, unable to process the events.
Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng’s formidable abilities were well-known. Their power demonstration today had left everyone in awe, proving truly eye-opening.
Yet Mu Yao and Su Yi had emerged with even greater strength, overwhelming and overshadowing them.
Without their interference, the Grand Swordsmanship Competition would likely have culminated in another battle between Liu Yunchuan and Yun Lingfeng.
“Wait, something’s wrong. Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng hasn’t lost yet!”
Suddenly, amid the astonished crowd, someone shouted in surprise.
All eyes turned toward the stage where Yun Lingfeng, previously appearing disheveled and weak, now emanated a new aura that gradually intensified. It grew increasingly powerful and intimidating.
The Dharma Protectors and elders on the high platform sensed it too. This unusual aura caused them secret concern, and their gazes became fixed.
Elder Bai Mingshan’s eye twitched as an unpleasant expression crossed his face, followed by a subtle smirk.
How could his disciple lose? Today would mark his stunning debut and meteoric rise.
Initially, they had planned to reveal Yun Lingfeng’s trump card during the championship battle. However, it seemed circumstances demanded its early use. Nevertheless, the outcome would remain unchanged.
“Hmm…”
Su Yi also sensed it. As the person directly involved, he could feel a new and intimidating presence emanating from Yun Lingfeng.
Yun Lingfeng’s gaze sharpened as he returned to reality. His already dreadful expression turned menacing as his cold eyes fixed upon Su Yi, emanating an eerie chill.
“I erred in underestimating you, and now I see it clearly. They say ‘third time’s the charm,’ but I never expected you would force my hand so early. This was meant for the final battle.”
Yun Lingfeng’s dark eyes remained fixed on Su Yi as his voice echoed across the duel arena.
His words carried an intense coldness. Suddenly, the temperature around the duel arena plummeted, sending shivers down spines as everything grew chilling and eerie.
As his words faded, Yun Lingfeng’s expression grew fiercer. His eyes turned colder before slowly closing.
“Boom!”
In that instant, as Yun Lingfeng closed his eyes, a new and terrifying aura erupted from within him. It carried a chilling and malicious presence that made everyone’s hair stand on end, sweeping across the duel arena!
Simultaneously, as onlookers watched in astonishment, a powerful spiritual aura descended like a calm storm, suddenly erupting from that fearsome figure.
“Boom!”
A deep roar echoed around Yun Lingfeng, filling the space. It swept across the entire duel arena as an invisible soul storm formed around him.
As the soul storm surged and trembled, the space around the duel arena seemed to twist and distort, as if something extraordinary was occurring.
When the soul storm manifested, the Elders and Dharma Protectors on the high platform were the first to show dramatic changes in expression. Their eyes widened in shock, one after another.
Elder Bai Mingshan smiled knowingly. Though revealed early, he knew the outcome remained certain. This was his disciple’s true strength.
Yun Lingfeng had long awaited this moment, planning to soar high in the Grand Swordsmanship Competition. Bai Mingshan believed that this time, the Divine Sword School’s great benefits would surely belong to his disciple.
“This spiritual power… Could it be… Yun Lingfeng is a Soul Tamer!”
An elder’s eyes trembled in fear as they spoke.
All eyes on the high platform focused intently on Yun Lingfeng.
Situ Liuyun stood in the front row alongside the second elder, third elder, and the Right Dharma Protector. Their eyes filled with astonishment as they watched Yun Lingfeng amid the soul storm on the dueling stage.
None could have predicted that Yun Lingfeng would unleash such remarkable spiritual energy at this moment.
All onlookers, including Ying Qianqian, Liu Yunchuan, Zhang Diyun, and other disciples who had withdrawn from the stage, turned pale with shock.
No one had anticipated Yun Lingfeng’s sudden display of such astonishing spiritual power.
At the dueling stage’s edge, Mu Yao’s eyes, their golden glow recently faded, fixed upon the soul storm Yun Lingfeng had conjured. Though initial surprise crossed her features, she quickly regained composure.
“Heavens, such incredible spiritual power!”
“Soul power… Is Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng perhaps a craftsman or an alchemist?”
“I’ve never heard of Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng being skilled in blacksmithing or alchemy.”
The sudden surge of soul energy on the dueling stage amazed and astonished the audience, filling them with excitement and commotion.
“No, Senior Brother Yun Lingfeng might be a Soul Tamer!”
A disciple in the crowd exclaimed in shock.
“What? A Soul Tamer!”
Upon hearing these words, the entire crowd erupted in shock and excitement. Everyone knew that alchemists and blacksmiths held esteemed positions in this world.
Yet the position of a Soul Tamer would be the highest of all.
