Limitless Sword God

Crushing Defeat

“I never thought that he would actually have the courage to challenge Shen Wu Ya!”

“Hehe, this creature that does not know how to live, he hasn’t even figured himself out and he dares to spar against Shen Wu Ya! Even for me, if I were to face against Shen Wu Ya, I would have let it go!”

“This world is not lacking lunatics.”

“How many moves do you think it will take for Shen Wu Ya to defeat him?”

“At most one, unless Shen Wu Ya wants to play with him.”

“I think so too.”

The Group B participants starting discussing amongst themselves.

The participants in Group C were talking much more, towards a great person like Lu Zhan Yuan, all of them had very mixed feelings, some felt disdain, some felt respect, some felt that Lu Zhan Yuan was a lunatic, while some admired him.

Of course, the spectators were more focused on the competition, regardless of how strong Lu Zhan Yuan was, it was enough as long as he dared to go up.

Su Yun looked at Lu Zhan Yuan indifferently.

~For him to have the courage to go up, it is already a breakthrough for him, even if he lose this round, but to himself, it is already a victory.~

Up on stage, Lu Zhan Yuan felt that he was in a terrible situation, seeing how Shen Wu Ya had revealed a playful smile, Lu Zhan Yuan felt extremely uncomfortable. It was like a sheep standing in front of a hungry wolf.

“You truly have the balls to dare challenge me.” Shen Wu Ya sized Lu Zhan Yuan once, then laughed in disdain: “ My moves are very heavy, if I were to kill you, that will not be good, why not you forfeit right now, what about that? Have you thought it through? Are you going to forfeit? Or are you going to continue with our match?”

“Stop talking nonsense, this is a competition, I-I have not even fought yet! How can I forfeit?” Lu Zhan Yuan clenched his teeth and spoke with a slight tremor.

In truth, he was not stupid, he understood what Su Yun meant and knew the consequence if he were to give up.

“Oh? Since that’s the case, then fine, let us fight.” Shen Wu Ya’s smile became even more brilliant, the curve on the corner of his mouth became even more demonic.

The ladies spectating could not help but squeal, all of them raised the silk towels in their hand and started waving towards Shen Wu Ya. They screamed ‘Shen Wu Ya I love you’ endlessly.

“Alright! Time is up, we will now have Group D participant Lu Zhan Yuan and fight against Group A participant Shen Wu Ya, now, let the battle begin!!”

Shu Wen shouted, followed by the sound of the bell, in that moment, everyone tensed up!

Lu Zhan Yuan immediately took out his treasure and instigated his mystical technique, ready to launch his attack.

He did not hold anything back, and prepared to brandish all of his trump cards.

But Shen Wu Ya did not move, he didn’t even do anything.

“10 Moves!!”

Just then, Shen Wu Ya spoke out with a smile: “I will give you 10 moves and I will only use one. If you can hit me in these 10 moves, I will consider it your win, and if I cannot defeat you in one move, I will also consider it your win!”

Whoahhh!!!

Upon saying that, the entire field flew into an uproar!

What rampant arrogance! How far down is he looking on Lu Zhan Yuan!!

Previously, Lu Zhan Yuan still had some fear, but after hearing those words, all the fear had disappeared. He was also human and had self respect, Shen Wu Ya’s words were completely trampling all over him as a Spirit Cultivator, stepping over the fundamental dignity of his!

“Damn you!!”

Lu Zhan Yuan’s face darkened, the power he had accumulated had reached its fill and he stepped out, he activated his movement technique and swept towards Shen Wu Ya, it was the technique he was proud of, the ‘Sweeping Sky Movement Technique’.

Lu Zhan Yuan’s body moved so fast that he produced many afterimages, his original body moved at a speed that made him look like a large goose flying across the horizon, Shen Wu Ya was surrounded by the afterimages, and the spectators watching had difficulty figuring out which the real Lu Zhan Yuan was.

“This Lu Zhan Yuan has his moves huh!”

Upon seeing the scene, many of the spectators were surprised.

Sou!

Just then, Lu Zhan Yuan made his move, a short dagger stabbed towards Shen Wu Ya, his movement so fast it led others to be stupefied.

~Too fast!~

Countless of people secretly thought.

But Shen Wu Ya simply tilted his head and adeptly dodged the short light green blade that was thrusting towards him.

“What?” Lu Zhan Yuan was startled.

“Eight more moves!” Shen Wu Ya squinted his eyes and laughed.

Lu Zhan Yuan clenched his teeth, he continued to move his body quickly, finding another opportunity to attack.

Seeing how Shen Wu Ya was easily dodging his opponent’s attacks, a few participants grew wary.

“This Shen Wu Ya has some talent! Although Lu Zhan Yuan’s cultivation is not high, his movement technique is rather interesting, if one is not careful, one would fall for his attacks.”

Jiang Qing Long, who was seated beside Han Yue Xin, laughed out and said.

“Shen Wu Ya is deliberately flaunting his skills! Lu Zhan Yuan is a mediocre person, although his footwork is not simple, he obviously had not trained it well! Otherwise, this technique will not just be like that! However, even if he had trained well in it, I am afraid he would not be able to touch Shen Wu Ya at all, he is a talent born in New Deer City, he is undoubtedly the most noble person, trained in an extravagant environment since young, he is where he is today not because of a fluke, and ordinary cultivators definitely have no chance against him.” Han Yue Xin looked at Shen Wu Ya and said.

“Tch, just a mere Shen Wu Ya, although he has some skills, he is still lacking slightly in front of me! Compared to you, Yue Xin, it is of different worlds, if Shen Wu Ya’s Blade God Sword Saint Arts was already at the fourth layer, maybe he would be dangerous, but he has already stopped at the third layer for close to a decade already, his mystical techniques have not had any improvements, why should I fear him?” Jiang Qing Long snorted with a look of unhappiness.

Han Yue Xin did not say anything and continued watching the competition.

Whooosh.

Just then, a green and red intercrossing light aura exploded on the field, the spectators saw a 10 m long blade aura that had exploded and slashed across the entire arena!

It was Lu Zhan Yuan’s sword technique!

Su Yun focused on Lu Zhan Yuan, not dividing his attention at all.

It was his last technique, but ever since he had made the first move, he already knew that Lu Zhan Yuan would lose. Even though Lu Zhan Yuan’s techniques were ferocious, he lost in terms of speed. Shen Wu Ya was too fast, but even though he was still standing at his original position, he was already instigating his Spirit Qi.

Sou!

The blade expanded out! But…

It struck the air as Shen Wu Ya seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

“What?!” Lu Zhan Yuan opened his eyes wide.

“Alright, it’s the 10th move, it’s my turn now.”

Shen Wu Ya laughed and said. Lu Zhan Yuan looked towards the direction of the voice, to see that unknowingly, Shen Wu Ya was actually standing on his shoulders!!

Lu Zhan Yuan’s heart was thumping hard, his eyes almost bulged out from the eye socket!!

Shen Wu Ya’s legs stepped down

Crack!!!

“AH!!!”

A painful scream came out from the stage, Lu Zhan Yuan’s shoulders were ripped apart, two of his limbs was flying in the sky, blood spurting out like from his two arms like two fountains, he fell onto the ground and twitched for a few times before fainting.

The entire field was silent!

After that, waves of roars came out!!

“One move! He truly defeated Lu Zhan Yuan with one move!!”

“Shen Wu Ya is too powerful!”

“He is truly a genius, I heard that he isn’t old at all, how can he be so strong?”

“Shen Wu Ya has not even unleashed his blade and sword yet! He defeated Lu Zhan Yuan barehanded!”

“Shen Wu Ya is the best!”

Their voices keep coming, as though everyone were rejoicing in Shen Wu Ya’s brilliance, and Lu Zhan Yuan had completely become the side character.

The competition was over!!

“Oh? He only broke his arms? Tch, I thought he would kill that ant.” Jiang Qing Long folded his arms across his chest and said.

“It was not just his arms that were broken.”

Han Yue Xin shook her head gently, with an anxious look in her eyes: “He used his Spirit Qi to actually shatter all the bones in his body! Now that man called Lu Zhan Yuan’s entire bone frame is all shattered, it is even more painful than death.”

Jiang Qing Long: “!!!”

Su Yun stared at Shen Wu Ya who was casually walking down the stage, a twinkle of light flashed past his eyes.

A few members ran over and carried Lu Zhan Yuan out to the resting room. Seeing that, Su Yun headed there as well.

Other than a pill master in the rest room and an array master, there was also a spirit doctor, and the other injured people resting in the formations.

Lu Zhan Yuan was carried to the large array formation in the center, where the members placed him down and left.

The spirit doctor rushed over and checked on Lu Zhan Yuan’s injuries, then gave a disdainful laugh: “You’re so weak, why did you bother going up? A Group D participant fighting a Group A participant, I have to say, you have the balls!”

After checking for a round, the spirit doctor waved towards the pill master who walked over impatiently and gave a few white pills. The spirit doctor then swallowed the pills and started to activate the formation beneath Lu Zhan Yuan.

The formation buzzed out with a large sound, great amounts of dense Spirit Life Qi drilled into Lu Zhan Yuan’s body like ants, and quickly mended his broken internal organs.

Lu Zhan Yuan recovered slightly, but his face was still extremely white, he could not even open his eyes, but he had recovered some of his consciousness.

“Zhan Yuan, how do you feel?”

Su Yun asked.

Lu Zhan Yuan wanted to speak, but the wounds on him made him gasp for breath, and after a long time, he finally managed to speak up with a whisper.

“Al-although it is painful, but at l-least, I fought with Shen Wu Ya.”

“I never thought that Shen Wu Ya would be so ruthless with his moves, maybe it was my fault, I should not had advised you to-”

“No!”

Before Su Yun could finish his sentence, Lu Zhan Yuan interrupted him, he forced his eyes open and looked at the ceiling, speaking after he gasped for breath.

“If I had not went up on stage, I would have formed an inner demon, then I, Lu Zhan Yuan, will completely become a cripple! I am afraid of that, I am extremely terrified of that! Even before fighting with Shen Wu Ya, I have lost my fighting spirit to him, but at least I went up and fought! Otherwise, for my entire life, I will be unable to look for my fighting spirit again!”

He turned and smiled towards Su Yun: “Thank you, Brother Su, but you have to do your best! When I am slightly better, I will go and watch your battles and support you!”

“Then rest well!”

Su Yun glanced at the formation beneath Lu Zhan Yuan and said. All of the formations were supplied by the organizations, the ingredients required for the formations were expensive, and the three doctors around were all powerful in cultivation! So although Lu Zhan Yuan was heavily injured, it would not be hard for him to recover, and even if the participants were considered weak, they were ultimately still Spirit Star Realm cultivators.

The victorious cultivators would still have other battles and it was fundamental for them to recover to their peak state for the competition. Although the organizers weren’t that generous, but in terms of medical aspects, they had to maintain a certain level.

After visiting Lu Zhan Yuan, Su Yun returned to his position and looked towards the arena, there were participants on stage already. Two spirit cultivators stood across each other, they were both from Group B and fought intensely. The battle was extremely exciting, causing the spectators to be roused, all of them were shouting nonstop, the atmosphere was at an all time high.

Su Yun quietly sized up the techniques of the two participants, he stared at their every movements without being distracted. He maintained his focus on the battles.

It was a time for him to learn, although they were all participants, they had their strong and weak points, and there were experts and weaklings, but regardless of who they were, if they were placed in the Sky Martial Continent, they would all be peak existences.

Finally, the cultivator with the spear gained victory, he managed to slash off his opponent’s’ legs, and as he could no longer battle, Shu Wen went on stage and announced the result.

The victor gained the glory.

The loser quietly left the stage.

Maybe it did not resemble a competition, but more like a gigantic wrestling ring.
