Chapter 73

Zhan Chen pinched the number "5" in his hand. He couldn't help but wonder who his next opponent would be.

At this time, the competition had already begun. The battles were exceptionally intense. Li Jianchen and Su Yun had both ascended the stage and defeated their opponents. Zhan Chen's next battle had finally arrived.

"Number five against number eight!" Li Jianshu loudly announced.

"Is it my turn?" Zhan Chen got rid of his distracting thoughts and leaped onto the battlefield. He wanted to see who his opponent was.

At this time, an eight foot tall youth with a red face walked out from the crowd.

Immediately, someone cried out, "It's the Spear King, Luo Yun!"

The Spear King, Luo Yun! Zhan Chen's eyes narrowed. This was a famous figure amongst the elite disciples.

It was said that when others chose a sword or saber as their weapon of choice, he chose the unpopular spear. Moreover, he relied on this spear to defeat everyone within the sect. It was even said that he had fought with Li Jianchen and ended in a draw. Because of this, he was crowned the "Spear King".

On the platform, many of the spectating elders couldn't help but cry out, "It's Luo Yun. I'm afraid that Zhan Chen is doomed!"

Luo Yun walked onto the stage and stood in front of Zhan Chen. He glanced at him and asked, "You are Zhan Chen, right?"

"That's right." Zhan Chen replied.

"You were able to rely on your High Level Martial Master cultivation to reach this stage. You are truly amazing. However, it ends here. Admit defeat. You are not my opponent. I only have one opponent!" At this point, Luo Yun looked at Li Jianchen below the stage. His eyes burned with battle intent.

Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Zhan Chen took out his Roaring Tiger Sword and saluted, "My apologies, Luo Yun. I am a person who doesn't know how to give up."

Luo Yun regained his composure and sized up Zhan Chen. With a cold smile, he said, "Since you are looking for trouble, then I will quickly take care of you!"

He patted his cosmos pouch and a nine foot long spear appeared in his hand. He then said, "I will let you experience the power of my spear arts!"

With that, he raised his spear with both hands and rushed towards Zhan Chen. He shouted, "Take this, Luo Clan Spear Arts!" The spear in his hand pierced out and a spear pattern flew towards Zhan Chen's vitals. Surprisingly, he was also using metal attribute qi.

Zhan Chen countered with his golden sword. With a "ding" sound, the two weapons collided. He felt a huge force pass through his hand. He sighed and thought, "This Luo Yun Luo Yun is Luo Yun. It's completely beyond the realm of a normal Martial Master Perfection. "

Just as Zhan Chen was deep in thought, Luo Yun smiled and retracted his hand. The spear retracted, and then he twisted his hand forward again. The spear head flew towards Zhan Chen's face at an incredible speed.

"Dao!" At the critical moment, Zhan Chen hurriedly used this magical power and narrowly dodged Luo Yun's attack.

Luo Yun was stunned. He smiled and said, "Interesting. I didn't expect you to be able to dodge this spear! Watch this move! "

Next, his spear danced quickly. The spear's handle and spear head were very elastic. They constantly vibrated and circled around Zhan Chen's vitals, creating many spear patterns.

There were a few times when Zhan Chen had to use the Dao eye to dodge. For a moment, he was in a sorry state and kept retreating.

As Luo Yun made his move, he leisurely explained to him, "How is it? My spear isn't made from a hard material like the Millennium Coldsteel. Instead, it's made from the extremely tough Millennium Oak. It's as hard as Coldsteel, but also as flexible as wood. Next, I'll show you an even more interesting move!"

Zhan Chen immediately became vigilant. He saw Luo Yun's spear piercing towards him. He hurriedly used the Tiger Roar Sword to block.

Suddenly, Luo Yun's hands moved rhythmically. The spear head immediately rotated with his hands as the axis. For a moment, it actually wrapped around Zhan Chen's sword.

Zhan Chen only felt a huge force coming from his hands. The Tiger Roar Sword almost flew out of his hands. He quickly grabbed the sword and retreated.

Luo Yun smiled coldly and shouted, "It's over!" He then took a step forward. His spear was like a poisonous dragon coming out of its cave, piercing towards Zhan Chen's body.

This move couldn't be dodged! Zhan Chen felt helpless. He could only shout, "Daluo Golden Body, condense!" A golden light flashed on his body and he put on the golden Qi armor.

The spear tip fiercely pierced the armor, but its speed was greatly reduced. In the end, it only managed to pierce through Zhan Chen's skin.

"What kind of move is this!" Luo Yun and all the disciples below the stage couldn't help but cry out.

Li Jianshu suddenly stood up from his seat and couldn't help but cry out: "This is a defensive martial skill!"

He was extremely shocked. Defensive martial skills were extremely rare. There wasn't a single one in the Golden Elephant Sect. According to what he knew, the lowest level of defensive martial skills had reached the top grade of Profound Level. However, this defensive martial skill of Zhan Chen was actually able to completely block the attack of a martial artist who was one rank higher than him. It was obvious that it had already surpassed the scope of a Profound Level martial skill!

"Could it be an Earth Level martial skill?" For a moment, a thought popped up in Li Jianshu's mind. He only regained his senses after a long while. This Zhan Chen really gave him too many surprises!

After withdrawing the Daluo Golden Body, Zhan Chen jumped to the side and said, "Luo Yun, you are really strong. You forced me to use my trump card martial skill. However, I won't lose next!"

"I don't believe it! I can't pierce through the layer of armor on your body! "Luo Yun shouted. He didn't even know that there was such a thing as a defensive martial skill.

Therefore, he raised his spear and stabbed at Zhan Chen again.

After confirming that his Daluo Golden Body could block Luo Yun's spear, Zhan Chen immediately felt a lot more relaxed. For a moment, he was full of heroic spirit and shouted again, "Daluo Golden Body, condense!"

The golden True Qi armor once again appeared on his body. He no longer had any worries and fiercely crashed into Luo Yun's spear net, directly pouncing on his body.

Although Luo Yun's spear trembled and kept stabbing at Zhan Chen's body, it was successfully blocked by the True Qi armor on his body. It only left some flesh wounds, which he could endure by clenching his teeth.

Although the spear was fierce, once the attacker closed in on the body, it would lose its advantage. Finally, Zhan Chen approached the effective attack range of his Tiger's Roar Sword.

"It's my turn to counterattack!" Zhan Chen shouted and the sword in his hand slashed at Luo Yun's body with all his strength.

If he wanted to dodge Zhan Chen's attack, he would have to let go of the spear in his hand, and letting go of the spear in his hand would mean defeat. At that moment, Luo Yun displayed his unyielding spirit and shouted, "No, I can't lose here!"

Therefore, he clenched his teeth and slightly tilted his body, trying his best to avoid the attack on his vital parts.

With a "hua" sound, Zhan Chen's sword slashed across Luo Yun's shoulder, leaving a deep sword wound.

As for Luo Yun, he endured the pain and flew back, increasing the distance between him and Zhan Chen.

A trace of regret flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes. He pointed the tip of his sword at Luo Yun and said, "Luo Yun, I also have a reason why I can't lose here, and it's the same reason as you."

"Hehe, then take my last attack!" After saying this, the aura on Luo Yun's body suddenly became cold, forming a three-meter-tall silver flame that pierced the sky.

"He's going to execute me by spear!" Zhan Chen reacted quickly. He calmed his heart and gathered all the True Qi in his body.

For a moment, the arena suddenly became silent, but the atmosphere became even more tense. Everyone held their breath and focused on the two of them, afraid that they would miss a single detail.

Suddenly, Luo Yun shouted, "Let's decide the winner with one attack! Golden Cloud Drill! " The spear in his hand rotated at a high speed, bringing with it a mass of platinum air current as it fiercely stabbed at Zhan Chen. A drill that was completely condensed from True Qi quickly took shape in the air, rotating at a high speed as it fiercely shot towards him.

"Golden Light Slash!" Zhan Chen also used his sword art with all his strength.

The two collided in midair, and it was only a stalemate for a moment. The Golden Cloud Drill actually split the Golden Light Slash in half, and continued to attack Zhan Chen without losing any momentum.

"Zhan Chen is going to lose!" For a moment, almost everyone below the arena shouted.

"Dao Eye!" Zhan Chen shouted in his heart. In fact, after he used the Golden Light Slash, Zhan Chen immediately activated this magical power. This was because he understood that his cultivation was, after all, lower than Luo Yun's. If he used his ultimate skill to decide the winner, he would most likely lose.

With the help of the Dao Eye's deceleration, he quickly adjusted his state of mind and suddenly activated the Golden Body of Daluo.

The speed of the spear execution was very fast. If it wasn't for the assistance of the Dao Eye, he would probably have been defeated before he could even react after using the sword art.

Just like that, when the Golden Cloud Drill was about to hit Zhan Chen's body, a golden armor appeared at the most crucial moment.

The Golden Cloud Drill ruthlessly hit Zhan Chen's chest, tearing his Golden Body of Daluo and even drilling into his flesh. However, its power had already been weakened by the Golden Light Slash, and it finally couldn't advance any further.

Zhan Chen clenched his teeth and endured the huge pain in his chest. He seized the opportunity and fiercely stepped on the ground, shooting towards Luo Yun. His sword stabbed out, and in the end, it stopped an inch away from Luo Yun's throat.

Everyone below the arena finally heaved a sigh of relief. In this battle, Zhan Chen had really fought in a perilous situation. There were many twists and turns, but in the end, he managed to get through it.

At this time, someone finally reacted and shouted, "Luo Yun has been defeated!"

"Luo Yun has been defeated?!"

For a moment, there were still many people who couldn't believe this fact.

After a while, Luo Yun finally walked out of the shadow of defeat. He stared at Zhan Chen and said, "Brat, you really aren't simple. Remember what you said just now. Defeat Li Jianchen for me!"

Zhan Chen grinned and said, "I will!"

At this time, the elders were already discussing spiritedly. This Zhan Chen's performance so far could really be described as inconceivable!

As for Zhan Chen, he didn't care what others said. He hurriedly went to one side to recover from his injuries. This was because he was afraid that he would have to face the semi-finals!

As expected, after about two hours, the final four people were decided. What made Zhan Chen feel a little unreconciled was that Wang Yin actually lost to another person. Originally, he was looking forward to meeting Wang Yin in the semi-finals and teaching him a lesson.

Li Jianshu stood up again and announced, "Everyone, pay attention. The semi-finals will now begin. The results of the draw are out. First group, Zhan Chen against Su Yun!"
