NOVEL NEXT chapter 228 - Kill with One Knife
A thunderous roar ripped through the sky, and thick, inky black mist surged around Qin Tian like a turbulent, monstrous wave.
Facing Liu Yu, who was diving down shrouded in blue light, Qin Tian's advancing foot cracked the ground, and the moment his fists struck out, the void seemed to be torn apart by a giant hand, with dark purple patterns adorning the shattered space like a spiderweb.
Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist—Abyssal Sky Prison!
Black spiritual energy solidified, forming a giant cage covered in ancient demonic runes. The eerie green poisonous mist dripping from the iron bars corroded the air, instantly enveloping Liu Yu.
Dense fist imprints rained down like a downpour, carrying the oppressive might of suppressing myriad demons as they blasted towards the cage.
Just then, the blue light around Liu Yu surged. A dragon-like sword cry tore through the air, and a giant blue dragon, condensed from thousands of sword qi, burst out of the cage. As its head soared, the air tore wherever it passed.
Qin Tian's pupils contracted sharply, and the black mist around him suddenly erupted, swallowing all his presence, and he instantly teleported behind Liu Yu like a ghost.
Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist—Demonic Shadow Shattering Void!
His fist, imbued with world-destroying power, smashed out, and wherever the fist wind passed, even light distorted into a bizarre vortex.
In the nick of time, the blue wind wings behind Liu Yu transformed into a jade shield flowing with runes, while simultaneously, the blue wind sword qi erupting from his body poured out like a brilliant river of stars.
Countless sword qi collided violently with Qin Tian's heavy punch. The hurricane raised by the energy aftermath leveled all buildings within a hundred meters, and blue and black lights fiercely clashed in mid-air. The splashing sparks fell like meteors, scorching dense burn marks into the earth.
As a three-star genius selected from countless other geniuses, Liu Yu was naturally not so easily defeated.
He was a Silver-level Bloodline Spiritual Energy Martial Artist, and his bloodline was called the Storm Battle Body. Qin Tian retreated dozens of meters, his knuckles covered in small cuts from the sword qi, but they recovered in half a breath.
A clear dragon's roar echoed through the sky as the azure sword qi ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) dragon circled and changed direction, diving down towards Qin Tian with a world-destroying momentum.
Wherever it passed, the air was completely pushed aside, and the buildings and trees on the ground were all crushed by the invisible pressure.
Qin Tian's black hair flew, and the black mist around him surged like a tangible entity. He took a step forward, and his right fist suddenly expanded more than threefold. Dark purple spiritual energy frantically converged along the veins of his arm, and ripples of spatial distortion even appeared at the fist's edge.
Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist—Demon Suppression Heavenly Punishment!”
In an instant, the world changed color, and a dark ink color appeared in the clouds. A giant fist condensed from the void, ancient demon-suppressing runes flowing with an eerie light on its surface, as if bearing the supreme will to suppress evil demons since ancient times, and it smashed out with a world-opening momentum.
The moment the two forces collided, time seemed to freeze.
The energy aftermath swept like a hurricane, instantly plowing the ground for several kilometers into a hundred-zhang deep chasm, and the splashing earth and stones were pulverized by the energy in mid-air.
Blazing blue light and deep black light intertwined, emitting a radiance even more dazzling than the sun, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.
The deafening roar lasted for almost half a minute.
Finally, the blue dragon's body disintegrated inch by inch, turning into a sky full of blue light and dissipating; the black fist imprint also shattered with a crash, transforming into countless black lights that vanished into the void.
In the center of the battlefield, only a mess remained, silently narrating the tragic nature of this duel.
At this moment, a tsunami of comments flooded the bullet screen.
“Damn, this Black Crow is a bit strong!”
“He’s much more formidable than I imagined. If a C-rank examiner is this awesome, then an A-rank examiner must be unbelievably awesome.”
“Don’t worry, Lord Yu’s trump cards definitely haven’t been revealed yet.”
“Liu Yu, go! Take down Black Crow!”
Liu Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and looked calmly at his opponent. His opponent's strength was somewhat beyond his expectations.
This set of fist techniques is very strong; it should be a Silver-level martial skill. From the attribute of its fist intent, it is very likely to originate from a general of the Demon Suppression Abyss.
It’s just that Black Crow’s mastery of this fist technique is not yet proficient; his spiritual energy isn't refined enough, otherwise, it really could have caused him quite a bit of trouble. “The battle should end.”
A cold light flashed in Liu Yu’s eyes.
“Tsk tsk, as expected, I lack talent in fist techniques. This set of Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist is indeed very difficult to cultivate to minor accomplishment.”
Qin Tian secretly sighed. He had completely mastered the Heavenly Execution Nine Strikes, a Silver-level blade technique, in one day of practice. After a week, he had grasped its essence, and after a month, he had integrated it, reaching the realm of great accomplishment in blade techniques.
However, in the cultivation of the Abyssal Demon Suppression Fist, he had put in a lot of hard work, dedicating the most effort every day, but his progress was relatively slow.
His performance in actual combat was indeed not as good as expected.
“Forget it, I’m not playing with you anymore. It’s time to end this.”
Qin Tian drew the black frost blade from his waist, its tip angled, marking his opponent with a hunting mark.
Breath greatly restrained, speed increased by 70%, attack power increased by 50%. If the prey is in an isolated state, every attack you make will definitely cause 120% critical damage.
Whoosh—A cyan airflow coiled around Liu Yu like a spiritual snake, emitting a sharp hiss as it rapidly spun.
In an instant, thousands of air currents condensed into a phantom blue dragon, ten zhang long. Its dragon whiskers danced wildly in the wind, and its dragon eyes flickered with captivating blue light.
The cold light from Liu Yu's longsword surged, and the ground beneath his feet cracked with a rumble. Enveloped by the phantom blue dragon, he lunged at Qin Tian with the force of a thunderbolt.
“Storm Sword—Azure Dragon Devour!”
His voice was clear, echoing through the sky.
“Good timing!”
Qin Tian roared, purple lightning flashing wildly in his eyes, and the crackling sound of electricity erupted from the lightning coiling around him.
In an instant, his aura surged, and the battle blade in his hand was enveloped in purple lightning. Overbearing and unmatched blade intent spread out like a tangible entity.
Before his words finished, Qin Tian's figure had transformed into a streak of purple lightning, rushing towards the phantom blue dragon.
For a moment, cyan gales howled, and purple lightning raged.
Under the bated breath of over a billion spectators, the two figures, one blue and one purple, collided with a thunderous crash.
The two terrifying forces collided, erupting in an earth-shattering roar, and even space itself twisted and vibrated.
In this critical moment, time seemed to be paused.
The two figures crossed paths. Black Crow slowly took a few steps forward, and his battle blade clicked into its sheath.
Liu Yu stood frozen in place, as if under a paralysis spell.
Then, with a tearing sound, the clothes on his chest were ripped apart by an invisible force, and a gruesome wound, deep enough to expose bone, appeared.
Blood gushed out like a bursting dam. Liu Yu turned his head with difficulty, his eyes full of unwillingness. Finally, his body, like a kite with a broken string, collapsed limply onto the cold ground.
“Baoyue Star, Liu Yu eliminated.”
“Sirius Star, Mo Wuya eliminated.”
“Mark Star, Andre eliminated.”
Within a mere minute, the city broadcast successively announced the elimination of three contestants.
At this moment, on Baoyue Star’s live broadcast channel, the bullet screen was clean, and there was not a sound.
No one had expected that Liu Yu, whom billions of people had placed their hopes on, would be the first genius to be eliminated.
