Yue Chenxi looked at the Lunar Shadow Saber stuck in the middle of the dueling ground and sighed, "I lost. Hehe! However, in terms of fighting techniques, you are still inferior to me."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he did not give Xiao Chen a chance to speak. After admitting defeat, he drifted off the Wind Cloud Arena.
Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled helplessly. After the golden dragon finished swallowing, he gently raised the Lunar Shadow Saber and returned to his seat. He then closed his eyes and rested.
Countless noises resounded in his ears, and the martial stage was filled with apprehension. Along with the end of round after round of matches, everyone's emotions were unprecedentedly high.
After another three rounds of matches, the victor of this Five Nation Youth Competition would be decided. Who was the true dragon? Who would ascend to the peak? Who would become the bearer of Luck? Who would lead the changes of this era? All of this would be revealed.
The stage had already been set up, and the curtains were slowly pulled open. All that was left was for the main character to appear, and the show had just begun. The cultivators in the audience all felt extremely excited. They could not wait for the three giants to start fighting immediately.
However, Xiao Chen remained calm, quietly waiting for the final three battles. After that, he would defeat all his opponents and stand at the peak of this Sky Dome Realm.
"Next match, Bai Qi versus Chu Chaoyun!"
In the 98th round, the referee's rough and heavy voice slowly announced the results of the match between the two.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the two people in the arena. His eyes revealed a contemplative look.
Of the one hundred participants, there were still three whom Xiao Chen had not fought yet. They were Chu Chaoyun, the Noble Clan's Li Tianhua, and the top seed, Sima Lingxuan.
In the ninety-eighth round, Li Tianhua had entered the arena very early, and now Chu Chaoyun had also entered the arena. That was to say, Xiao Chen's opponent in this round was Sima Lingxuan.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a strong gaze on him. He turned his head and saw that it was Sima Lingxuan, who exuded a strong self-confidence. A pair of sharp eyes with the intent of a king pierced through the void and stared at him oppressively.
"I will defeat you within ten moves. One more move means I lose."
The other party condensed his voice into a line and left behind words of confidence in Xiao Chen's ears. Then, he retracted his gaze.
Xiao Chen didn't mind. He said softly, "If you were really that confident, you wouldn't have left behind these words. If your heart is higher than the sky, why bother looking at us mortals?"
Yun Kexin, who was at the side, felt that something was wrong. She said, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Did someone test you earlier?"
Xiao Chen smiled and said calmly, "It's nothing. It's just that someone is trying to hide the fear in their heart. Let's watch the competition!"
The more confident a person was, the more they were afraid of failure. It was an unchanging principle since time immemorial.
Now that Bai Qi had lost to Xiao Chen, there was basically no hope for him to fight for first place again. However, as long as he could defeat Chu Chaoyun, there was still hope for him to snatch the second place.
Before Xiao Chen came, he had already expected that he would lose to Sima Lingxuan. He had been prepared to only get second place.
Although he had miscalculated and lost to Xiao Chen early, he still had to fight for the second place.
Furthermore, he actually lost to an outsider in a competition of the Four Season Saber Technique. No matter what, he could not lose this match. He had to prove himself with his full power.
"Begin!"
Right after the referee spoke, Bai Qi immediately made his move. He executed the first move of the Four Season Saber Technique, Unhurried Spring Water, Suddenly Warm Then Cold.
Infused with the power of the cycle of seasons, Bai Qi turned into a surging river and surged towards Chu Chaoyun.
"Hu!
Hu! "A strong wind blew on the Wind Cloud Platform. A boundless aura suddenly soared, allowing everyone to feel the strength of the Four Season Saber Technique once again.
In the previous moment, everything was calm. In the next moment, when Bai Qi drew his saber, the winds and clouds changed. The sky changed color, and a boundless aura surged.
"Life-Extinguishing Blood-Reversing Sword!"
Chu Chaoyun's gaze remained calm. He did not dare to be careless when facing this famous Four Season Saber Technique. His sword left his hand and floated quietly in front of him.
Chu Chaoyun opened his right palm and quickly drew a circle with his sword in the air. When the circle of swords closed, eight beams of golden light descended from the sky above and encased him.
Within the golden light, every piece of Chu Chaoyun's clothes and hair glowed with a boundless radiance.
Xiao Chen gently patted the sword in the circle of light, and a dazzling beam of light immediately shot out. In that instant, the golden beam of light shone on Bai Qi, who was in midair.
"Bang!"
One could clearly see that the space behind Bai Qi had paused for an instant. The might of the Samsara power had been forcefully resisted by the power contained in the golden light.
Chu Chaoyun's face turned holy and pure. He let out a soft chant that sounded like a divine sound, and the eight beams of light merged together. His eyes, the only pitch-black color in his body, also turned completely golden. The Yuan Qi in his body had completely materialized at this moment.
The sword that belonged to him in the circle of swords turned into a beam of light and shot out. Everywhere it passed, space shattered and a pitch-black crack appeared.
From a distance, it looked like someone had used a pencil to draw a black line on a piece of white paper. It was exceptionally eye-catching.
When the crowd saw this scene, they were horrified. "The Essence in his body solidified. Unexpectedly, its might is equal to that of an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch's Quintessence. What Cultivation Technique does this Chu Chaoyun cultivate?"
Xiao Chen did not show much shock in his eyes. He had guessed long ago that the Cultivation Technique Chu Chaoyun cultivated was a Heaven Ranked Cultivation Technique passed down in the Tianwu Dynasty. Furthermore, it was of an extremely high rank.
Many large sects would have some Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques. However, since the destruction of the Tianwu Dynasty, there had never been any Heaven Ranked Cultivation Techniques circulating in the world.
"Dang!"
When the horrifying energy in the sword clashed with Bai Qi's saber, it immediately gave off a loud sound that resounded through the nine heavens.
The sound was so loud that it was deafening, shaking everyone's eardrums and temporarily deafening them.
Blood leaked out of the corner of Bai Qi's mouth as he retreated a hundred meters in the air. The momentum of the river and the power of the cycle of seasons vanished before this startling sword strike.
"Eternal Light!"
Chu Chaoyun was the kind of person who would not let his opponent overtake him once he seized the opportunity. He leaped into the air, leaving behind a golden afterimage. Then he grabbed the sword in the air and instantly executed Eternal Light.
The three hundred twenty-one acupoints in Chu Chaoyun's body suddenly opened and gave off a bright light. Every acupoint gave off thousands of beams of light. The light from the three hundred-odd acupoints overlapped.
The boundless beams of light layered over each other, forming millions upon millions of them. Chu Chaoyun turned into a blazing golden sun. When one looked at it, they felt pain in their eyes; they did not dare to look at it directly.
With the boundless beams of light overlapping, Chu Chaoyun sent out ninety-nine thousand and nine hundred sword strikes in one breath. The countless figures quickly overlapped.
This was the Eternal Light that could defeat Xuanyuan Zhantian's Unending World to the End of Time. The instant Bai Qi landed, it charged towards him with a dazzling light.
"Flowing Fire Illuminating the World!"
Bai Qi felt helpless. He could only reduce the might of the Four Season Saber Technique's second move by half and quickly clash. The time that Chu Chaoyun gave him was too short; he could not bring out the full might of the Four Season Saber Technique.
"Boom!"
The golden light exploded, and Bai Qi vomited a mouthful of blood. Once again, Chu Chaoyun knocked him back. He crashed into the Wind Cloud Barrier. His clothes were tattered, and he was in a sorry state.
"Damn it."
All of Bai Qi's internal organs were severely damaged and the skin on his body had been scorched by the light. Bai Qi felt extremely depressed and furious.
Chu Chaoyun's strength had completely exceeded his expectations. He was almost at the same level as Xiao Chen. No, it was just the strength that Xiao Chen had shown. The current Chu Chaoyun was even stronger than Xiao Chen.
The autumn wind rustled endlessly, sweeping away the lovers of the world!
Bai Qi roared ferociously and drained all the remaining Essence in his body. He seemed to have gone crazy, staking everything on this Four Season Saber Technique's third move.
The world was heartless, the great dao was heartless, the autumn wind was endless, engulfing the world.
Chu Chaoyun's expression did not change. As he floated in the air, he quickly formed ancient hand seals. Instantly, the thick, dark clouds above Dragon Sealing City, which had not moved for ten thousand years, churned continuously, and a hole appeared.
"Inextinguishable Divine Light!"
After Chu Chaoyun finished forming the hand seals, he shouted. Immediately, eight golden pillars of light descended from the hole, encasing him firmly. Divine Might flowed on the pillars of light, forming an impenetrable defense.
This was the move that had helped Chu Chaoyun stay on the Wind Cloud Platform when he fought with Xuanyuan Zhantian. Even the shockwave from the combined explosion of the Unending to the End of Time and the Eternal Light could not do anything to Chu Chaoyun.
"Keng Qiang!"
Bai Qi's saber struck the pillars of light and gave off a metallic clang. That pillar of light containing Divine Might actually turned solid.
"This … what defensive move is this? Unexpectedly, it is so horrifying."
"With such a defensive move, aside from a Martial Monarch, who can defeat Chu Chaoyun?"
"Perhaps there is some hope for the Four Season Saber Technique's final move. However, in Bai Qi's current state, even the third move would be difficult."
"This does not feel like something a Martial King can do. The Divine Might contained in the formless light is already strong enough. Unexpectedly, it turned solid!"
Startled cries came from the spectator stands, all of them filled with expressions of disbelief. The group of Martial Monarchs in the City Lord's Residence were all dumbfounded. They had not expected that the unremarkable move from back then would have such a strong defense.
Zong Liang looked at the cards on the table on which Xiao Chen and Sima Lingxuan were stacked. He revealed a helpless expression and sighed, "Unexpectedly, even I made an error in judgment. Sima Lingxuan probably chose the wrong person for this match."
"It is too late. The next match between Xiao Chen and Sima Lingxuan is about to begin. There is no more time to change it."
"Based on Chu Chaoyun's appearance, he definitely still has trump cards that he has not used yet. The move he is using now is exactly the same as when he fought Xuanyuan Zhantian."
The other old men sighed as well. No matter what the result of the match between Xiao Chen and Sima Lingxuan was, the two of them would have to reveal their greatest trump cards.
With all their trump cards exposed, they would definitely be at a disadvantage when facing Chu Chaoyun in the final match.
Zong Liang glanced at Chu Chaoyun, who did not suffer any damage from Bai Qi's third saber strike. He said softly, "Perhaps this is Luck. However, in the end, it is still strength that speaks. He has the initiative, but he might not have the last laugh."
