Chapter 480: Chapter 322 "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar"! Let the "Demon Barrier" come even more fiercely! [Vote for monthly ticket!]_2
Bound tightly, ropes constricting, nearly like the Red-haired Ghost, Black-faced Ghost, both long spear and short sword; Bull Head Ghost, Ma Mian Ghost, Iron Brief and Copper Hammer.
They only fought with furrowed brows and bitter faces, bloodied, crying out to the earth and sky for help in vain. Truly, in life, do not deceive your heart, for the divine and ghosts spare no one. Good and evil will have their retribution; it only depends whether early or late.
Yan Chuan howled to the sky, his mouth filled with hell and torture, truly cold winds swirling, blood waves surging, cries incessant. Vaguely, there was a yin energy chilling to the bone, with a rancid wind striking the heart!
This roar startled the heavens and made even ghosts weep.
The pure Inner Strength cultivated from "Yijinjing" and "Innate Skill" surged out mightily, dispersing as it spun from inside to outside, gathering as it spun from outside to inside, dispersing and gathering appropriately for yin and yang balance, and such is the foundation of all things, the same principle applies to Martial Arts.
This roar stirred the evil energy, fueled the demon barrier, it was almost as if a mortal hell was created atop Chess Stone Peak.
Vivid and lifelike!
Every detail visible!
From all directions, those who were already struggling to resist the evil energy and combat the demon barrier—the contestants and audience—at this instant, under Yan Chuan’s ghostly wails, were like the final straw that broke the camel’s back, unable to resist any longer; Inner Strength went berserk, evil energy violently invaded. The mind defied, the demon barrier invaded the heart.
"Ah ah ah!"
One could see the Hai Character Arena, from near to far, from low to high cultivation, each was speechless, faces showing shock. Their expressions then turned into unbearable pain, as if suffering torture all over their bodies.
After a moment, one by one, they fell to the ground, constantly twisting and writhing, the cries of agony unending.
Unlike the previous arena matches, every participant atop Chess Stone Peak was limit-breaking, every muscle and bone strong, regardless of external or internal injuries, most were difficult to be severe unless intentionally crippling or killing someone caused serious harm.
However, at Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, when fighting on the platform, everyone mostly came from the same Academy lineage, even if not officially from the Academy, they were from well-known orthodox sects and righteous Martial Artists. Competing to see who is better, ultimately they wouldn’t intentionally deal a heavy blow.
Even if there were a few who hit hard, which team, which contestant wasn’t carrying the hopes of a state or county? With the Academy, states supporting them, in terms of recovery, healing, all sorts of heavenly materials, and elixirs wouldn’t be lacking.
Therefore, in arena matches, wanting to reduce numbers or completely incapacitate someone, or even merely temporarily incapacitate, that’s quite difficult.
One for moral reasons, they couldn’t do it.
Another objectively, they had enough spiritual medicines.
Thus, most teams could rise again quickly after being defeated.
But this moment was different.
Evil energy!
Demon barrier!
This was originally perilous.
Now with Yan Chuan’s mad roar, it was even more rampant and ravaging.
On the platform.
Feigning madness to attack the platform, Sun Gui Fen and Zhang Qin, one ranked twelfth in "Chufeng", one twentieth, both faced Yan Chuan’s roar frontally, turning pale, feeling their Divine Souls weren’t with them, quickly flipping and rolling off the platform, immediately sitting cross-legged with eyes closed, using Inner Power to withstand the Yin Wind Ghost Roar.
"Uh uh uh!"
"Ah ah ah!"
The two women’s foreheads were drenched with sweat the size of soybeans, their facial muscles kept twitching. After cultivating for a moment, both suddenly leapt up, soaring a zhang high, stumbled over more than ten steps before crashing to the ground. Looking again, they were terrifying, bleeding from the seven orifices, faces beyond recognition.
But they ultimately survived, lying on the ground panting heavily.
A close call!
Lu Yuru was above at the Xu Character Arena, struggling to resist with Inner Strength, her eyes opened a sliver, seeing Yin Ye, Cui Linsheng, and other figures of the ’Anti-Yan Alliance’, anyone whose cultivation was insufficient at Postnatal Tenth Layer was completely overturned, faces ashen, devoid of human color.
"This Yan Chuan!"
"In one roar, he actually possesses such divine power?"
Lu Yuru felt aghast, but had no other thoughts.
Instead, from the clouds in the sky.
The Innate Grandmaster overlooked the Mortal World, seeing Yan Chuan’s roar, this scene was truly tragic.
Military Suppression Office Director Deng Kunlun was shocked: "This isn’t ’Lion Roar’!"
Yan Chuan previously displayed ’Lion Roar’ in a confrontation with Luo Qi’s ’Ancient Sound of the Primordial World’, stunning the world. But at that time, even with the ’White Horn Trumpet’ exotic treasure’s help, his ’Lion Roar’ was indeed formidable up front, but its power greatly diminished in all directions, enough to scare off the heroes, but as long as one wasn’t stubbornly standing close by, there was no danger to life.
This time was different.
Yan Chuan’s roar now, at a glance, even Lu Yuru, even Ban Xianfu and other absolute figures on other platforms needed to resist with all their peak cultivation.
Sun Gui Fen and Zhang Qin were also at Postnatal Peak, yet the moment they stepped onto the platform, they were roared into a disarrayed retreat by Yan Chuan, bleeding from the seven orifices was truly tragic.
This was much stronger than the previous ’Lion Roar’!
"Not ’Lion Roar’!" Archaeology Department Director Wan Songling frowned: "Yan Chuan mastered yet another Sound Wave Skill, its power so terrifying!"
"No no no!"
"This Sound Wave Skill might not be more profound than ’Lion Roar’."
One of Moni Temple’s three Divine Monks, ’Saint Hand Tathagata’ Divine Monk Ming Chan shook his head, noticing the subtleties: "It’s just this skill, combined with the evil energy and demon barrier atop Chess Stone Peak at this time, leveraging such an environment, thus forming a trend, greatly increasing its power, surpassing the previous ’Lion Roar’."
Seeing several people discussing ’Lion Roar’.
Tan Yunqing looked down at Tan Dou, who was tearing at his hair, wailing constantly, rolling on the ground, he said in a deep voice: "The evil energy disrupts one’s Inner Power, the demon barrier throws the Mind into chaos, these contestants are now both physically and mentally fragile. With another roar from Yan Chuan, I fear they will all break down defenselessly, continuing like this, even if lives can be spared, they will inevitably go insane afterwards, becoming madmen!"
Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, selecting talents for the nation!
From Fourth and Fifth Rank to Sixth and Seventh, each challenge is reasonable and well-founded, but none were meant to harm lives.
Five Seven Evil Energy!
Sixth and Seventh Demonic Barrier!
All are harmless to life, merely tests.
But after a roar from Yan Chuan, it all changed, ’evil energy’ can kill, ’demonic barrier’ can disrupt the mind, continuing this way, it was feared an irreparable disaster would ensue. If a thousand Heavenly Pride atop Chess Stone Peak either died or went mad, given these individuals’ reputation and prestige across the Fifteen States of Great Yan and worldwide counties, widespread rumors would ensue, causing an upheaval!
Absolutely cannot!
Tan Yunqing’s face was grim.
Beside him, Yang Wang was laughing heartily: "’The loss of mental faculties isn’t one’s true intention, does not count as a violation!’ This is the new rule of the Sixth and Seventh, just announced by Your Majesty the Emperor Yan. No interference in Sword Discussion competitions is also a rule set by the court! What, now you want to violate these rules?"
One of the ’Wushan Double Masters’, ’Cloud-climbing Hand’ Gongsun Diying seized the opportunity to support Yang Wang: "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If someone’s mind breaks down, they can attack the platform without regard for existing rules, without it being a violation. Yan Chuan is on the platform, defending normally, that’s even less a violation. Should there be interference, then the court would truly be targeting Yan Chuan, I would be the first in Wushan City to disapprove!"
Finally, these two caught a chance!
Anyway, almost all the talents here were nurtured by the court’s academies, with only Wei Lingshan and Shi Mingzhu from the Black Hawk Sect participating, and no one from Wushan City.
The more court geniuses die, the better it is for them, as it has nothing to do with them.
They don’t care.
But Emperor Yan cares, he ignored the ridicules from Yang Wang, Gongsun Diying, and the others, quickly making a response based on the scene—
...
"Emergency Announcement——"
"[Rescue Genius]: Yan Chuan’s roar endangers over a thousand Heavenly Pride lives, interrupt Yan Chuan’s roar, limited to a hundred breaths, the one contributing the most will be rewarded with a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure. Participants will be rewarded with a Third-Rank exotic treasure. Failure results in no arena challenges for seven days."
...
"Emergency Announcement——"
"[Opposite Conduct]: Your Yin Wind Roar endangers over a thousand Heavenly Pride lives, but you refuse to stop, provoking dissatisfaction from twelve peak Heavenly Pride, who collectively attack you. In defending against the twelve for a hundred breaths, success results in a reward of seven days invincibility on the arena and a Fourth-Rank exotic treasure. Failure has no penalty."
