Shhh!
Lu Kong’s heavy greatsword, accompanied by an overwhelming and domineering storm of sword shadows, was unleashed with unmatched momentum.
As a five-star half king, he didn’t hold back at all.
Chen Yu concentrated his strength on the White Tiger Sacred Claw, which shone with a piercing golden light.
Clang, bang!
He used the White Tiger Sacred Claw to withstand Lu Kong’s profound weapon sword, and a formidable power exploded forth.
Chen Yu retreated a hundred steps, his claws numbing, and the profound weapon sword was also sent flying.
"A five-star half king is indeed different."
If Chen Yu’s White Tiger Sacred Claw hadn’t been fused with Heavenly Crystal Gold, in this confrontation, he might have been at a disadvantage.
Moreover, if it were an experienced five-star half king, Chen Yu would struggle to withstand just with the White Tiger Sacred Claw."Chen Yu managed to block it."
"Even able to withstand an attack from a five-star half king."
The surroundings were even more shocked.
A four-star king resisting the attack of a five-star half king!
And Chen Yu relied on a pair of claws to block, not some high-quality profound weapon, proving that his claws were not much different from high-grade profound artifacts.
"Is this guy even human, how can his claws be so tough?"
Qu Nanxiang cursed.
"Yuxuan, who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"
Luo Yulian asked.
"Although Lu Kong looks like he just broke through to the five-star half level not long ago, in cultivation, he ultimately has a significant advantage. As long as he doesn’t make a mistake, his chances of winning are greater."
Lin Yuxuan analyzed rationally.
"Yuxuan, why are you siding with an outsider? Even if Chen Yu’s chances are a bit lower, you should support him," Luo Yulian teased.
"..." Lin Yuxuan.
Guan Hongri was also watching the battle carefully. In his view, the fight, as Lin Yuxuan said, had Lu Kong with the greater chance of winning.
Bang!
An explosion sounded from the Sky Martial Battle Platform.
Lu Kong controlled his profound weapon, constantly unleashing attacks at the five-star half level.
Initially, Chen Yu could resist with the White Tiger Sacred Claw, but Lu Kong’s attacks became increasingly fierce.
Even if Chen Yu could withstand them, he was at a disadvantage, as the White Tiger Sacred Claw was part of his body, while Lu Kong’s profound weapon was unrelated to him. Even if it got damaged, Lu Kong would remain unharmed.
Boom!
The massive deep blue sword light slashed again.
Chen Yu didn’t resist. He summoned the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen, hitting Lu Kong’s profound weapon.
Whoosh, bang!
At the moment of their clash, although the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen was knocked flying, the soul imprint within Lu Kong’s greatsword was affected, reducing his control over the profound weapon.
In previous battles, Chen Yu didn’t bring out the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen because for ordinary profound weapons, his White Tiger Sacred Claw was sufficient.
The Heavenly Yin Soul Pen’s attacking power wasn’t strong, but its outstanding characteristics allowed it to contend with more powerful profound weapons.
Now, Lu Kong’s profound weapon greatsword was entangled by the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen.
Spatial Binding! Space Blade!
Chen Yu mobilized the Space Profound Power, launching an attack on Lu Kong himself.
The surroundings of Lu Kong became sticky and damp as if transforming into a quagmire. Chen Yu then waved his hand, and a semi-transparent silver Space Blade shot out, speeding towards Lu Kong.
Bang, shhh!
Without any fear, Lu Kong condensed a large sword with vital energy to strike the Space Blade, causing both to dissipate.
However, at the same time, green waves undulated beneath him, and vine-like tendrils, as thick as arms, coiled around, absorbing his vital energy and life force.
Lu Kong frowned slightly, as a storm of thousands of blue Sword Qi formed around him, slicing all the tendrils into pieces.
"Junior Brother Chen, is this all you’ve got, these useless tricks?"
Lu Kong admonished coldly.
Chen Yu didn’t respond. The Vermilion Bird Sacred Wings unleashed a sea of flames, transforming into a massive blood-colored bird that charged towards Lu Kong.
His methods were endless, wave after wave, with constant change, forcing Lu Kong into a passive defense.
As for Lu Kong’s profound weapon, it was firmly entangled by the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen.
Lu Kong was feeling a bit stifled.
In terms of cultivation strength, he considered himself superior to Chen Yu, but the latter had too many tactics, constantly changing.
Additionally, Chen Yu’s speed and the binding power of Space Profound restricted him, giving Chen Yu better control over the situation.
The surroundings fell silent; this progression was unexpected for them.
"This kid is not bad, with so many tactics, exploiting his advantages to take the initiative,"
Luo Yulian praised.
"But Lu Kong’s cultivation is considerably higher than Chen Yu’s. He has the means to break the current situation."
Lin Yuxuan said.
As expected, the battle situation suddenly changed.
Lu Kong, who had been defending passively, executed a spell, gathering endless Sword Intent around, enveloping him, forming a massive greatsword ten meters long.
Transform body into sword!
Shhh!
Lu Kong transformed into a blue giant sword, breaking through Chen Yu’s obstruction, crushing the oncoming attacks, and with dazzling light and shadow, stabbed towards Chen Yu.
With his body turned into a sword, this strike’s power was much stronger than a profound weapon attack, and the Heavenly Yin Soul Pen couldn’t block Lu Kong.
"Indeed, this strike is very powerful, but it’s a melee attack!"
Chen Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Clang, bang!
His heart surged power, amplifying his strength, and then actively met Lu Kong, his claws striking out to block Lu Kong transformed into a giant sword.
The two stalemated in place, chaotic air currents sweeping in all directions.
"This bastard is a Body Cultivator."
Lu Kong cursed inwardly, otherwise, with his body turned into a sword, he would surely have cleaved Chen Yu in half.
Even so, he had a way to deal with Chen Yu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Surrounding the giant sword formed by Lu Kong, several blue small swords condensed, stabbing towards Chen Yu.
Star Pattern Robe!
Chen Yu immediately activated the power of the Star Acupoint, donning a Star Pattern Robe, blocking the attack of hundreds of blue small swords.
The Star Pattern Robe shattered from the impact, but a backlash of damage bounced back to Lu Kong, who was closest.
At the same time, due to Lu Kong’s diversion of attacks, the power of transforming into a sword weakened by twenty percent, and Chen Yu’s twin claws gradually pierced into the giant blue sword before him.
"Damn it, could this guy really be a true member of the White Tiger Sacred Clan? These claws are unmatched."
Lu Kong cursed again.
If he continued to divert his attacks, he could injure Chen Yu, but Chen Yu’s twin claws would break his secret technique and possibly harm him.
Whoosh!
Lu Kong immediately retreated, then stabbed forward again.
Clang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Kong transformed into a sword, whereas Chen Yu seemed like a ferocious holy beast, the two clashing frequently in an extremely dangerous battle.
The battle was neck-and-neck!
Lu Kong was stifled; Chen Yu’s close combat abilities were too outstanding. If he, as a being transformed into a sword, wished to injure Chen Yu, he would also have to endure some injuries himself.
Under normal circumstances, he would be willing to trade injury for injury, but with Chen Yu possessing a high-level indestructible body, it was a losing trade.
"Again."
Chen Yu took the initiative to charge at Lu Kong.
With his speed and defensive abilities, he had nothing to worry about; even if Lu Kong caused him injuries, the indestructible body could repair them.
The key was that such opponents were rare, and Chen Yu fought with enjoyment, feeling a slight pressure and able to exert himself fully.
The battle continued, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Lu Kong’s expression was cold; this was not the battle he desired. In his expectations, Chen Yu should have already been trampled underfoot at this moment.
"Heavenly Martial Battle Technique!"
Lu Kong shouted loudly.
The "Heavenly Martial Battle Technique" was the core signature combat technique of the Heavenly Martial Sect, capable of instantly triggering the cultivator’s potential to unleash attacks far beyond normal.
As Lu Kong, transformed into a sword, emitted a thousand-foot long blue light, a virtual blue sword shadow hundreds of feet long condensed around him, merging sword intent and battle intent, stirring the surroundings.
Slash!
The giant blue sword shadow, hundreds of feet long, slashed down with a mighty force like a collapsing mountain.
Chen Yu’s body sank as he felt the pressure, and without hesitation, he performed the combat technique "Falling Star."
Boom!
Endless dazzling white light enveloped him, transforming into a shining star.
In the state of Falling Star, Chen Yu’s attacks would further increase, as he faced Lu Kong, who was both transformed into a sword and in the Heavenly Martial Battle Technique state.
Boom! Boom!
A fierce showdown ensued, with blinding radiance covering the entire battle platform, obscuring the situation from view.
The light quickly faded, revealing a deep, bone-exposing wound on Chen Yu, while Lu Kong’s momentum was sky-high, like a sword determined to cut everything down.
"It seems Chen Yu will lose; even with his indestructible physique, it will be difficult to keep up with Lu Kong’s relentless attacks.
"Lu Kong is impressive; having just broken through to a five-star king, he performed so well in this battle. Given time, he might threaten Jiang Han’s position.
The battle reached its climax, and the conclusion seemed near.
Boom!
Lu Kong charged at Chen Yu again, with sharp sword qi that could cut down everything.
Thud! Thud! Thud thud!
Chen Yu held nothing back, his mysterious heart entering an explosive state, further increasing his power, and unleashed the Shattering Star Claw.
The pair of White Tiger Sacred Claws he thrust out erupted with destructive power.
Shh!
Dazzling golden light pierced through the giant blue sword.
Crack!
The virtual sword shadow shattered, and cracks spread on the sword light around Lu Kong, threatening to break apart.
"No..."
Lu Kong’s eyes were filled with fear.
In that instant, the power Chen Yu erupted with exceeded his own.
Lu Kong mobilized his elemental force, attempting to reverse the situation.
Shh!
A transparent space blade slashed through, cutting through the sword light around Lu Kong, slicing across his arm, causing blood to flow.
Simultaneously, several vines sprang up from under Lu Kong’s feet, entwining him.
The surrounding space became viscous, hindering his movements.
Everything returned to the starting point.
But now, Chen Yu’s offensive was stronger, and Lu Kong instantly fell into a disadvantage, with the situation turning perilous.
The spectators gradually began to realize.
While many expected Lu Kong’s victory, it seemed Chen Yu had thrown out some trump card, turning the tide of battle.
"In this battle, Chen Yu won!"
Someone sighed.
Lu Kong held on for a moment longer, before ultimately being defeated, and the battle was over!
Lu Kong looked lost and bewildered, unable to understand why he had lost despite his breakthrough in cultivation.
"Chen Yu, once I stabilize my cultivation, I will reclaim this spot."
Lu Kong left a parting remark before departing.
"Chen Yu wins, ranking fifth on the Heavenly Martial List."
The announcement of victory rang out timely.
Silence fell around; Chen Yu won again, ranking fifth, fulfilling his first promise with the upper ranks, able to claim more compensation rewards.
With such immense resources, his cultivation speed would only increase.
The top four on the Heavenly Martial List all felt the pressure.
Chen Yu did not stay long; he went immediately to claim his compensation rewards.
At the same time.
Elder Fan received the result of Chen Yu’s battle, sighing: "It seems I miscalculated; I should have set the time limit shorter back then..."
But doing so would seem too shameless.
Soon, Chen Yu arrived, saying, "Elder Fan, it’s time for you to honor your promise."
"I never expected that in just three years, you would come."
"So be it, so be it. A genius like you is worth the Heavenly Martial Sect’s investment in nurturing."
Elder Fan said, full of emotion.
