Chapter 501: Chapter 331 Ahhh Oh! [Vote for monthly ticket!]_2
"Refreshing!"
Yan Chuan was killing with gusto.
In the Heavenly Ladder Competition, there was no psychological burden for killing, and Yan Chuan was unchecked, fully releasing the destructive nature of people.
"Fantastic!"
In the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan had never felt so exhilarated!
Now, he was killing with excitement.
At the peak of excitement, Yan Chuan suddenly stopped, breathed and opened his voice, and shouted with abandon—
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Hehehehehehe!"
With this roar—
The world was engulfed in clouds, the Qiankun shrouded in mist.
Whirling Yin wind sent stones rolling, while waves of anger surged like the sea.
Grudges run as deep as the sea, the more hatred grows, the more anger arises.
The shout was so fierce that even passing birds ceased to fly, fish submerged to avoid leaping, ghosts wept, gods howled, darkness fell over the earth, dragons fretted, and tigers feared the dimmed sunlight!
"Ahhh!"
At street corners and alleys!
Concealing heads, revealing tails!
No longer able to hide, each person felt their head swell and nerves go awry from Yan Chuan’s "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar," stumbling indoors or covering their heads as they rushed outside.
Enough!
Yan Chuan stopped just at the right time, solely using the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" to scare out enemies, with no intention of simply shouting them to death; that would be too exhausting?
If you want to kill!
Flying bricks are more straightforward!
Yan Chuan leapt three zhang high using ’Ladder Cloud Jump’, his ears twitching for sound positioning, then hurled a dozen bricks from his hand ferociously—
Bang bang bang!
The continuous explosions were heard, an unending barrage of crashes.
The sound was beautiful, with each bang representing a broken head and splattered brains, marking the end of a life.
The last brick in hand—
Bang!
Yan Chuan crushed dozens of small stones with one hand, scattering them into the air, and swept them with his right-hand sword—
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Pieces of stones shot in all directions, the ordinary limit-breakers previously stunned by the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" couldn’t react in time, meeting their end by these stones!
After the "Ghost Prison Yin Wind Roar" scared the snake, Yan Chuan killed wantonly!
[Kill Leaderboard]
[First, South Sea Crocodile God, 47]
...
Yan Chuan killed indiscriminately, invincible wherever he went!
Soon, he rose to the top of the "Kill Leaderboard" in first place.
And at this moment, the first ’Heavenly Change’ of this match had just begun—
"It’s here!"
Yan Chuan looked up.
He saw the sky rumbling, obscured by dark clouds and fog. Thunderous explosions erupted initially, followed by electric flashes brewing within the clouds, then with a crack, lightning struck down—
Crackle pop!
Boom boom boom boom!
The lightning struck the roof, creating a big hole, and a burnt smell filled the air.
"Heavenly Change!"
"Dark clouds!"
"Lightning!"
"This is ’Shrinking Circle’!"
The city district was vast.
With a thousand people scattered inside, even after ten days, they couldn’t be found by just hiding in a random house.
Therefore, in the ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’, the rules of the ’Scene Battle’ meant that a ’Heavenly Change’ would occur periodically, with thunder and lightning shrinking the safe zone.
Outside the safe zone, one not only risked being struck by lightning but also continuously consumed inner strength, aggravating injuries, forcing participants to move towards and gather in the safe zone.
While moving.
After gathering.
The weak were continuously eliminated, the strong gathered more and more, and the intensity of the battle escalated constantly.
Until finally, the safe zone shrank to just one street, a courtyard, or even a single room, and surviving participants fought until the last person standing.
Heavenly Ladder Competition!
Scene Battle!
This was no ordinary intense and thrilling experience.
Yan Chuan had just hit the first round of the shrinking circle, already exuberantly fired up, already killing enthusiastically.
"Second round—"
The Heavenly Change began.
Dark clouds loomed.
Observing the dark cloud distribution—
"Safe zone in North City!"
But Yan Chuan initially killed southward.
Went the wrong way.
But no matter—
"Go back!"
"Sweep through once more!"
Yan Chuan wielded his sword, turned back, and retraced his steps.
...
Rumbling!
In the Heavenly Transformation Area, thunder and lightning filled the sky.
In such an environment, the Martial Artists’ sense of hearing and smell were greatly suppressed, increasing the success rate of raids, while the ability to guard against them was significantly weakened.
"Haa!"
Yan Chuan vaulted walls, rushed straight to North City, when a spear suddenly thrust from a pile of hay in the courtyard—
"Ha!"
A loud shout.
Attempting to ambush Yan Chuan.
"Clang!"
Yan Chuan reacted quickly, turning immediately, the sharp sword in his hand already executing the ’Gun Breaking Form’—
Clang, a sound!
The sword intertwined with the spear like a venomous snake, quickly breaking the spear’s offensive, directly targeting the opponent’s throat.
Once initiated!
Immediate counterattack!
While counterattacking, Yan Chuan observed the ambusher, noticing the information above their head—
[Code: Yang Wan]
[Heavenly Ladder: 70]
[Matches: 1]
...
"One game, 70 points!"
"Just slightly less than Xu Yang and Black Shadow on the [Kill Leaderboard]."
Yan Chuan’s eyebrows twitched, realizing this might be a skilled opponent.
It was indeed so.
Yan Chuan thrust with his sword.
This Yang Wan obviously didn’t expect Yan Chuan’s reaction to be so swift, though she quickly withdrew, spear in hand, using spear stabbing to counterattack as defense.
Swish swish swish!
Spears attacked consecutively, one thrust to the body, guiding thrust to the four limbs, slashing spear down from above, one reverse kick, like an old bird sitting.
A series of ferocious attacks.
In an instant, it seemed as if six or seven spears were being thrust at Yan Chuan, assaulting from all sides; he might dodge one spear, but not the second, dodge the second, but not the third, let alone six or seven spears striking together?
Almost a forest of spears!
Yan Chuan was unperturbed, sword in hand, immediately executing the "Dugu Nine Swords" Fourth Form ’Gun Breaking Form’, a form designed specifically to break through spears, big halberds, snake spears, Qimei sticks, wolf fang clubs, white wax rods, Zen staffs, convenient shovels, and other long weapons. Yan Chuan had demonstrated his prowess with this form during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, where he thoroughly dismantled the absolute skills of spear and staff techniques employed by the Third-Rank Treasure ’Golden Stick’, greatly advancing his insight.
This time, how did Yang Wan’s spear technique compare to the ’Golden Stick’?
Certainly inferior!
Clang!
Yan Chuan’s longsword flashed; there was a clattering sound, and the spear fell to the ground. But before it hit the ground, Yan Chuan had already struck eight major acupoints around Yang Wan’s body with his sword, using the acupoint techniques of "One Yang Finger" and "Twelve Acupoint Striking Skill", but transformed into a longsword, it had a unique flavor.
The sequence of these eight sword strikes varied, but Yan Chuan was too fast; his sword movement was simply too swift, leaving Yang Wan unable to cope. Consequently, the eight critical acupoints in the front were pierced almost simultaneously—
"Ah!"
A scream of agony!
Yang Wan’s eyes bulged out, dead as a doornail!
Yan Chuan only killed, didn’t bury, picked up the long spear Yang Wan had dropped, and continued hurriedly towards North City District.
"This Yang Wan—"
On his way, Yan Chuan finally had time to reflect; Yang Wan was the first respectable opponent he encountered after entering this ’Heavenly Ladder Competition’ first match. Her spear technique wasn’t bad, roughly at the level of a Fifth Realm Extreme Skill, equivalent to an ordinary heavenly pride on the "Hidden Dragon", "Chufeng" two lists. Before the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, Yan Chuan was at that level, but the experience had catalyzed a magnificent transformation, far beyond his prior self.
Facing his pre-tourney self, he could be defeated in the blink of an eye.
Killing this Yang Wan, too, was swift.
Yang Wan had chosen to ambush him and hit a hard snag!
However, Yang Wan was only the beginning; while rushing towards North City District, in the Heavenly Transformation Area, taking advantage of the thunder and lightning to conceal movements and breath, many people chose to squat in the courtyard’s corners or indoors, launching surprise attacks on passersby.
Yan Chuan encountered many along the way.
But those who chose this method mostly lacked skill; Yang Wan was already among the top in ambush strength, others were even worse, and even with surprise attacks, they posed no threat to Yan Chuan, simply giving themselves away.
Leaping over all the way.
Bang bang!
Yan Chuan deliberately stomped heavily, making his steps slow on purpose—one, to create an illusion that his qinggong was weak and his martial arts crude, and second, to make sounds informing others to prepare for an ambush.
This way, ’scaring the snake’.
Yan Chuan’s steps alternated between light and heavy, encountering constant assaults, killing wildly all the way.
There was not a single opponent friend in one move.
Until!
Upon just entering the safe zone, passing through a wide street, Yan Chuan saw dozens of corpses scattered on the street in all directions, still fresh with blood and flesh, clearly having died not long ago.
Yan Chuan leapt like a startled hare, just making his appearance—
...
