Limitless Sword God
chapter-456

The Champion

The Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation’s speciality laid in its peculiarities and horrifying strength. The seven swords that were unleashed were all extremely powerful, the swords would not stop until their target was killed!

Previously, Qin Si was already confused and was struggling with the Cold Hail Sword Formation, with the addition of the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation, the pressure on him increased multiple folds! With Su Yun’s timely positioning of the sword formations, it produced such an effect on Qin Si. If he had initiated the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation the moment he crossed swords with Qin Si, it would have most probably been negated by Qin Si, even with the strength of the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation, he could not sustain it for long, its Spirit Qi consumption was something that could cause Su Yun to lose.

Su Yun had relied on the Seventh Tier Imperial Equipment’s powerful defense to counter Qin Si’s last move, where Qin Si had gathered all of his strength into his palm, causing his ‘Monarch Temple Bell’ defense to be unable to utilise its strongest defense, thus the Seven Ascension Slaughter Formation had its opportunity.

Qin Si’s entire body was frozen like a petrified stone statue, the seven sharp swords had stabbed into the top of his head, making him look like the stem of a blossomed flower, it was an extremely strange sight.

Viscous red blood mixed with a milky thick substance leaked out from the wound, Qin Si’s body trembled before falling onto the ground.

Qin Si had died!

The most fatal parts to attack on a Spirit Master Cultivator are the heart and the crown of the head. No matter how strong the cultivator was, if they were to be harmed in any of these two locations, it would be difficult for them to survive. Qin Si’s head was stabbed by seven swords, he was as dead as he could ever be, even as a representative of one of the organizations, it was a useless title in such a situation.

Su Yun did not give Qin Si any possibility of reviving, his fingers moved, causing the seven swords to disperse in all directions, causing Qin Si’s head to blossom like a flower, splitting into a few parts.

The competition was officially over.

He raised one hand…

Sou sou sou sou sou.

The thousand swords flew back into the sword sheath, the Desolator returned to its original position while he slowly placed the Death Sword back into its sheath.

Everything was back to its original state.

The gale and snow inside the Snow Jade Space continued to blow, but the entire competition grounds was silent. Haggard eyes were fixed onto Su Yun, all of their dumbstruck faces with opened mouths faced towards him.

~Qin Si is dead?!~

The spectators were all looking at each other, disbelief filled in every single person’s eyes.

~He dared to kill an Official Representative? How much courage was required to do that!~

~Qin Si is a representative of the Yu Shuang Auction house!~

~Killing him was like a challenge towards Yu Shuang Auction house!~

The other representatives had their own organization for support and would have been fine if they were to kill others, but who was Su Yun? Why did he have so much courage? First, he killed Dao Huang, then, he went to kill Qin Si! Was he not afraid of dying?

“Who is he exactly? He has offended the Quick Blade Sect and now that he killed Qin Si, he has offended the Yu Shuang Auction House, does he have some huge almighty being as his backer?”

“To have such outstanding sword techniques, I’m afraid that his talent is gifted from the Heavens and is one of a kind, maybe he truly has some powerful backer supporting him.”

“It is truly unthinkable, he is directly provoking the Yu Shuang Auction House.”

“Is Su Yun truly unafraid of all of these powerful important figures?”

The participants and the other participants all discussed amongst themselves. Many felt that Su Yun had been too careless. However, even more were excited, wanting to see what would happen to Su Yun.

With Qin Si dead, the Yu Shuang Auction House had no way out of the embarrassing situation. If Su Yun were to leave New Deer City safely, where would the Yu Shuang Auction House hide their face at?

In truth, Su Yun was deeply aware of the consequences of killing Qin Si, but the situation left him with no choice like with Dao Huang. If he did not kill them, he would be the one dying, as for the other participants, they would give up upon losing their fighting strength after challenging him for a long time and rarely tried to use any finishing blows… But the two of them were different, they held onto the intent and attitude of killing the entire time right from the beginning. Against such an opponent, Su Yun would be the one dying if he had been lenient.

But despite all of these, Su Yun was not afraid of the Yu Shuang Auction House. According to what he knew, the four trading organizations were against each other and the Yu Shuang Auction House posed a smaller threat compared to the rest. As for the real threat, it came from somewhere else

Inside the luxurious private room.

Crack!

A sharp and clear noise came out, the cup in Liu Ye Wen’s hand hand transformed into dust.

“Su Yun, Su Yun!!! Hehe, interesting, really interesting! After so many years, there is someone finally able to make me excited!”

Liu Ye Wen laughed coldly and stared at the black cloaked man standing on the stage through the window.

“Young Master, this man has gone against your wishes multiple times and have openly challenged you, do you need this subordinate to do something to help you seize him over?” The man called Bai Shan cupped his fists and bowed, he spoke respectfully.

“There is no need.” Liu Ye Wen waved his hand: “The Yu Shuang Auction House will be even angrier over Qin Si’s death. If Qin Si was killed by one of the other representatives, it would have been fine, but he had died to some unknown pawn! With their loss of face, do you think they will leave it to rest? Let’s watch how the Yu Shuang Auction House will handle it.”

Bai Shan nodded his head: “Yes, Young Master.”

The announcement of Qin Si’s death symbolized the closing of the curtain for the competition.

Su Yun trampled on Qin Si’s corpse and walked out of the Snow Jade Space.

The Four evaluators and the host, Zhu Wen, were all staring at him, the five of them realized that when Su Yun walked over, their own breathing and heartbeat actually hastened, the man under the hood actually gave them an unexplainable pressure

Su Yun walked over to Zhu Wen and spoke indifferently: “Zhu Wen, the competition is over, why aren’t you announcing the result and giving out the prize?”

Zhu Wen trembled before reacting, just that he did not shout out anxiously. Instead, he looked over to the Yu Shuang Auction House pavilion with a worried look and with difficulty in his eyes. He had never thought that Su Yun would win the competition, but it was not only him, many others never thought that it would be possible.

However, the reality was that.

“Prize? Humph, you used such despicable methods to defeat others, how can that count in our competition?!”

Just then, a snort came out from the Yu Shuang Auction House pavilion.

Following that, three figures shot out from the pavilion and flew downwards.

The appearance of the three instantly released an imposing aura, like that of three catastrophes descending down from the sky. Everyone in the competition grounds immediately felt difficulty in breathing, they could not sit or stand still, a majority of the people could not withstand this pressure and directly dropped to the ground, they did not even dare to raise their heads.

It was the same for Su Yun, he held onto Death Sword, using the sword sheath to support his body from swaying with his teeth clenched tightly, he resisted the terrifying pressure.

Almighty beings!!

~Real almighty beings, their cultivation must’ve surpassed that of the Spirit Master Realm, how terrifyingly strong are they?~

Crack crack crack

Just then, the Death Sword started to stir restlessly in his hand, the sword blade kept on moving inside the sword sheath, as though it was trying to unsheathe itself.

Su Yun stared at it.

~Is the Death Sword provoked by the powerful Spirit Qi coming from them?~

“How audacious, you dare to behave atrociously here? Do you not know where you are? Ignorant child, quickly retract your Spirit Qi, otherwise, this old one will disperse your spirit and prevent you from reincarnating!!”

Another voice came out, this time, the New Deer Auction House pavilion’s doors opened, and an old man dressed in yellow robes flew down with a few guards, where one of the guards was the young man that had tried to recruit Su Yun.

The old man waved his hand, causing his sleeves to sway and a gentle Qi spread out, causing the oppressive pressure on everybody’s shoulders to instantly disappear.

Su Yun gasped for breath before being able to stand.

With the appearance of the old man, Su Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

“President Zhang Hong, what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to protect this cheater? He dared to violate the competition rules to win, this man needs to be punished and his cultivation crippled!!”

The man who spoke was lean and tanned, seemingly close to forty years of age.

The old man, Zhang Hong, remained indifferent. He glanced at the man and snorted: “Ignorant child, you are not worthy enough to speak to me, get your President Yu Shuang over!”

“You!” The man fumed, but he did not dare do anything. Because the old man’s identity and strength was not someone or something he could go against, he took a deep breath and spoke coldly: “Our President has matters to attend to and have left the Auction House a few days ago, for this competition, it was given to I, Du Wen En, to be in charge of. President Zhang Hong, I would like to request your New Deer Auction House to bear witness that this man had used despicable means and underhanded methods while fighting Qin Si…”

“Despicable means and underhanded methods? Tell me, how did Su Yun cheat?” Before waiting for Du Wen En to finish speaking, Zhang Hong directly cut him and questioned him back.

“Participant Qin Si’s ‘Monarch Temple Bell’ is unbreakable, but Su Yun had cut through it with such ease, such a method is impossible! Unless Su Yun used some forbidden technique, which is not allowed in any competitions, thus Su Yun has cheated!!! We need to cripple his cultivation!”

Du Wen En replied.

“You said that Su Yun used a forbidden technique? Hehe, then this old man wants to ask everyone present, who saw Su Yun use a forbidden technique?” Zhang Hong laughed, his sunken old eyes revealed a brilliant light as he looked around. Everyone trembled, and shook their heads, indicating that they did not see anything. Although the Yu Shuang Auction House and the New Deer Auction House had relatively equal strength, inside New Deer City, the Yu Shuang Auction House did not have the weight that New Deer held.

Zhang Hong nodded his head with a satisfied expression and said: “See, everyone said they did not see it, so your claim was fabricated! From what I see, that ‘Monarch Temple Bell’ was most likely given to Qin Si by your Auction House, right? For a treasure to be weak, causing the participant to lose, how can you frame others for it? Or is this how the Yu Shuang Auction House does things?”

Du Wen En did not know how to refute.

But then, Zhang Hong shouted loudly: “Alright, this old one will officially announce, that the New Deer Competition’s champion this year, is Participant Su Yun!”

“Damn it, you’re speaking nonsense!”

“Du Wen En, clarify where you are at now, if you dare to behave so atrociously, don’t blame this old man for not giving your President Yu Shuang face!” Zhang Hong looked at Du Wen En coldly.

Hearing that, Du Wen En’s face turned red and white, he muttered words under his breath, but no one heard what he said. At long last, he swung his hand, and stormed off angrily.

The Yu Shuang Auction House had suffered a setback, causing many to have their own thoughts, but everyone was even more focused and excited towards the mysterious owner of New Deer Auction House.

Witnessing the situation, how could Zhu Wen still dare to hesitate? He immediately shouted out loud: “Fellow guests, fellow spectators! The competition is officially over and from what everyone has seen, this year’s champion, is our Participant Su Yun!!!”

Woah!!!

Waves of cheers and exclamations that could cause a tsunami rose from the spectators’ stand.

The champion was not Shen Wu Ya, or Li Chang Zai, or even Han Yue Xin. It was not even any of the four representatives, but someone nobody had never even heard of, Su Yun!

Su Yun immersed himself with the cheers of joy, but his heart remained calm.

From the competition, he had obtained cultivation coins, fighting strength, and techniques. However, it was not over yet, as the real trouble had just begun.
