Chapter 299 - Final Battle
“No wonder Brother Liu can create miracles repeatedly. Today, let us determine the victor based on our eye techniques!” Shui Huan laughed. He knew it was tough to defeat Liu Wuxie, relying on his martial techniques alone.
His laughter was hearty and could be heard even from a few kilometers away.
“Eye techniques?” the crowd murmured in the discussion, puzzled because they hadn’t seen Liu Wuxie perform any eye technique. When Shui Huan executed Void Eye, the changes in his eyes were evident to everyone.
The Ghost Eye differed from ordinary eye techniques, and ordinary people couldn\'t detect it. Only those who also practiced an eye technique could sense a faint trace of it.
“No wonder he won repeatedly. So he’s relying on his eye technique.” The remaining prodigies of the Azure Lion Empire finally realized why Xiao Wenlai lost to Liu Wuxie.
Eye techniques were unpredictable and hard to detect. Most importantly, they could see through the weakness of their opponent’s attacks.
Out of the six thousand people who participated in the Battle of the Hundred Nations, Shui Huan was the only one who practiced an eye technique.
This proved how rare eye techniques were. Not only would it have to be suitable to oneself, but it also required the support of powerful soul energy.
Most importantly, eye techniques were scarce, and Shui Huan had chanced upon the Void Eye by luck, but it was incomplete. However, an incomplete eye technique was still powerful; it was no wonder Ye Feng was wary of him.
“Alright. Let me experience Brother Shui’s Void Eye today!” Liu Wuxie agreed, sheathing the Heretic Blade and planning to compete using eye techniques.
This was the best way to duel, saving true essence and avoiding a life-and-death fight.
Faint ripples only visible to Liu Wuxie and Shui Huan enveloped the entire arena, and they were the manifestation of soul energy.
“What powerful soul energy fluctuation!” Xi Jian was shocked. They had been monitoring the arena closely with their divine sense.
The other nine envoys shook their heads with a bitter smile, and some fell silent.
“ Quick, look at Liu Wuxie’s soul energy! It’s faintly golden!” Luo Chudie almost exclaimed. The clash between soul energy was dangerous, and the slightest mistake could affect the soul sea.
They seemed to be standing still, but the clash had already begun. The slightest mistake could cost them their lives.
“What an unusual soul energy. I’ve never seen this before.” Song Junbao stepped forward, wanting to take a closer look. As they talked, the clash in soul energy began as Void Eye’s illusion manifested into a tiger, biting down at Liu Wuxie. This was the manifestation of soul energy.
Liu Wuxie smiled and executed Ghost Eye, unleashing a powerful shockwave of soul energy that scraped a layer off the arena, causing a change in Shui Huan’s expression.
He quickly recalled his soul energy to prevent himself from suffering severe injuries. Liu Wuxie’s soul energy wasn’t weaker than someone in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and it was natural that Shui Huan couldn’t be his opponent.
If he were to fight Shui Huan in an actual fight, he would have to spend some time. But in the competition of soul energy, Liu Wuxie could easily crush him.
His golden soul energy manifested into a golden divine dragon that devoured Shui Huan’s soul energy. The Ghost Eye wasn’t just used to observe; it could also devour and evolve.
Shui Huan’s face changed, and he could sense that he was swiftly losing connection to the soul energy he released.
“Brother Liu, I have lost. Please restrain your soul energy.” Before Liu Wuxie could unleash the second wave of attack, Shui Huan admitted defeat because he knew his soul sea would be damaged if he carried on fighting.
The damage to the soul sea was no different from the shattering of the dantian. The consequences were dire, and this meant severing the path of cultivating.
As Liu Wuxie retrieved the Ghost Eye, the pressure on Shui Huan dropped, and his clothes were covered in cold sweat.
“Thanks for the battle!” Liu Wuxie clasped his fists together. He had obtained nine points now and was in the lead. Ye Feng had seven and a half points, and Shui Huan had six points...
This meant that the battle for the champion would be between Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng. Even if Liu Wuxie were to obtain a tie, he could still become the champion. However, if Ye Feng wanted to become the champion, he would have to defeat Liu Wuxie.
The other fights were dull because the rewards were the same unless they could get into the top three.
“Ye Feng, I know you want to kill me. Come up to the arena!” Liu Wuxie didn’t go down the arena.
Everyone stared at Liu Wuxie, never anticipating he would come this far. Despite so many people wanting to kill him, Liu Wuxie had fought his way through and reached this point.
Ye Feng slowly walked into the arena, and each step he took would leave behind a shallow footprint. Murderous intent began to sweep out from him and engulfed Liu Wuxie.
Swinging the Heretic Blade, Liu Wuxie severed the incoming murderous intent. There was already a clash before the actual fight even began.
The arena was tattered, but it wouldn’t affect their battle. No one wasted words, and Ye Feng raised his blade, performing the Horizon Sentient Blade, wanting to tear the sky apart.
Liu Wuxie didn’t hesitate to raise his blade to the sky either, and they were both experts in using the blade. The sword was a gentleman among weapons, while the blade was the king of weapons.
“What terrifying blade intent!” Everyone widened their eyes, afraid to miss a single detail.
Shui Huan’s gaze locked onto Liu Wuxie. He had experienced Ye Feng’s strength but couldn’t see through Liu Wuxie.
In the next second, Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng dashed forward, leaving behind countless afterimages as they clashed, unleashing a powerful blade aura.
“What a powerful blade aura, reaching even a hundred meters away!” Despite their age and experience, many headmasters showed a hint of fear as they recognized the significance of the battle.
Blade aura continued to wreak havoc on the arena, forcing the spectators to retreat.
When the blades collided, a teeth-itching sound reverberated, causing many people to cover their ears. Yet, even with their ears covered, they couldn’t block out the piercing ring of the clash.
“Liu Wuxie, prepare to meet your end if this is all you got!” Ye Feng shot out like a wild crane, gliding through the air.
“This is the highest state of the Horizon Sentient Blade!” the crowd exclaimed because Ye Feng had held back in his fight with Shui Huan and had not unleashed his full strength.
“What a powerful move!” The blade intent manifested into a mountain crushing down. Liu Wuxie was placed in a passive situation and would be crushed to death if this carried on.
This attack unleashed cultivation in the fifth level of the True Core Realm, forming a powerful gust of wind. The wind crushed down, causing the slabs beneath Liu Wuxie to crack and soon create a crater with the latter standing on it.
Liu Wuxie found himself in a dangerous situation. If he didn’t react soon, the shockwave would kill him.
Blade intent continued to descend, and Liu Wuxie’s hairband exploded. The bulging veins on his arm were revealed, making him look ferocious.
“Break!” Liu Wuxie soared to the sky, and a pair of wings manifested behind him. Gripping the Heretic Blade with two hands, Liu Wuxie swung it down, creating violent fluctuations in the air with explosions of shockwaves.
It was like heaven and earth had collapsed with a ferocious gust tearing through the sky, and the two figures vanished.
“Liu Wuxie, it’s futile. No one can break my move!” Ye Feng’s voice carried a hint of contempt. This was the third time he had unleashed this move since his debut, and he had successfully killed his opponents in the two previous instances. This was a powerful move with an overwhelming murderous intent.
“It’s nothing but a trivial trick!” Liu Wuxie’s voice echoed in the clouds with brimming power gushing out. His aura began to rise and broke through his restriction. The aura he gave off soon reached the pinnacle of the second level of the True Core Realm.
“Look, Liu Wuxie made a breakthrough!” a wave of exclamations came from the crowd.
“How cunning! He must’ve reached the second level of the True Core Realm, but he concealed his cultivation deliberately.” Those from the Azure Lion Empire gritted their teeth, and Xiao Wenlai’s face became grim.
A bitter smile rose on Shui Huan’s lips. He might have been severely injured if Liu Wuxie had released his cultivation in their fight.
Ye Feng’s attack began to crumble and was forcibly torn apart by Liu Wuxie. A powerful energy fluctuation erupted in the sky, spreading a circular shockwave.
Shortly after, two figures flew out from the clouds and rapidly descended, landing at a corner of the arena. When they descended, they were both covered in dust.
“Fifth level of the True Core Realm? Doesn’t seem so impressive at all!” Liu Wuxie wore a faint mockery on the corner of his lips. He had figured out Ye Feng’s strength through the earlier clash.
A cold wind swept through and made everyone feel a chill down their spines.
Ye Feng’s face was ugly because this was his strongest attack. Who would’ve expected Liu Wuxie to have concealed his cultivation?
“Hmph. Do you think you can kill me with your cultivation in the second level of the True Core Realm?” Ye Feng left behind an afterimage and cleaved down with his blade, creating a long ravine on the ground.
The aura he gave off was powerful, and it was clear that Ye Feng had held back earlier.
Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng exchanged a few hundred moves, and the outcome of the battle remained unclear. They fought from the sky to the ground and the ground to the sky.
Each change of the Heretic Blade was profound, completely restraining Ye Feng’s Horizon Sentient Blade. They had already exchanged close to a thousand moves, and neither could gain the upper hand.
“Yu Tianyi, should we stop them? If either of them dies, it would be a great loss to us.” Xi Jian hoped to stop Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng’s battles lest they suffer heavy injuries.
Xiao Wenlai wasn’t injured, but his heart as a cultivator was affected. Jia Fengmao’s dantian was crippled, and the talent of the others couldn’t be compared to Liu Wuxie and Ye Feng.
