Chapter 431 Qin Chuan’s Turn
“This is my strongest attack, Sun Luote,”
At this moment, Langtuck no longer had any dharmic powers or physical strength left in him; his body was in unprecedented weakness.
The storm in the sky transformed into a gigantic ax.
The gigantic ax seemed to have the power to split open the sky. The entire sky rumbled as though it was trembling. Sun Luote raised the Ruyi Staff high, looking calm.
He was confident in his own strength.
In the next second, Langtuck swung this giant ax at Sun Luote.
“Ahhh!” roared Sun Luote. His arm muscles tensed up, and with a whoosh, he swung the Ruyi Staff down from the top.
All of a sudden,
the shadow of the huge staff broke through the clouds. The immense force that was descending caused the atmosphere in the sky to be halved, and the surrounding s.p.a.ce crumbled.
Before long, the staff shadow and the ax collided.
Initially, they were at a stalemate, but unexpectedly, the ax condensed from the Law of Wind could not withstand even a single blow from Sun Luote’s staff.
Like a stick hitting a pile of mud, the ax dissipated instantly.
Seeing this, Langtuck knew that he had lost.
He was utterly defeated.
Instead of dodging, he stood proudly in the air, his gaze fierce as he waited for the shadow of the staff to strike at him.
Just as it was about to hit him, Sun Luote swung his arm, and the staff shadow dissipated like smoke.
Sun Luote came up to him. “I won this round.”
Langtuck transformed back into his human form. “You are strong, but I will definitely defeat you with my own hands in the future and take back my victory.” “Is that so?” said Sun Luote, smirking. “But I doubt you’ll get that chance again.”
With a smile, Langtuck turned around. “You win this round.”
With that, he returned to his camp.
The Supreme Venerable Elder immediately announced the result.
The group of genius disciples had yet to recover from their shock.
They had never expected Sun Luote to win. It was like the sun had risen from the north.
At this moment, like a power outage, the flames surrounding Sun Luote disappeared in an instant.
His body size and physical changes quickly returned to normal. In the next moment, weakness and fatigue surged through his body like a dam had burst.
Sun Luote blacked out and lost consciousness.
With a flick of his sleeves, the Supreme Venerable Elder caught Sun Luote firmly in his dharmic hand and brought him back.
The Supreme Venerable Elder channeled some dharmic powers into Sun Luote’s body.
It was an Immortal King’s dharmic powers, after all. Like spirit pills and elixirs, Sun Luote instantly came to.
“Elder! Sect Master!” Sun Luotao immediately bowed, disregarding his physical weakness.
Xu Longfei affirmed, “You did well today, Sun Luote. It was well beyond our expectations.
I’ll definitely reward you handsomely when the challenge is over.”
Sun Luote gave another bow. “Sect Master, I don’t need any rewards.
“I’m indebted to the sect for its nurturing and guidance. I don’t ask for anything in return. It’s all my duty.”
Xu Longfei was overjoyed to hear this.
“Since I have spoken, I can’t go back on my word. I must reward you handsomely.”
Xu Longfei swept his gaze across the other disciples. “I’m a fair judge of rewards and punishments. You will also be rewarded.
“Even if you lost, you have contributed something. I have seen everything, and will definitely reward you guys.”
Hearing this, the disciples were overjoyed. They immediately bowed. “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Xu Longfei looked at Qin Chuan. “Qin Xiaochuan, you are next and also the last.
“Your opponent is a paragon of the Demon, so there’s no need to elaborate on his strength.
“It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose.
“Of course, I will be happy to see you defeat him.
“But that is almost impossible.
“I don’t have any expectations either. Just do your best and don’t lose too quickly. That will be the biggest victory.”
“Yes! I will definitely do my best to not disappoint the elders and Sect Master,” said Qin Chuan solemnly.
Xu Longfei nodded. “I have nothing more to say. The rest is up to you.”
Qin Chuan left the group.
“You can do it, Junior Brother Qin! I’m sure you can beat your opponent,” said Sun Luote, cheering Qin Chuan on.
“Mm, mm!” Qin Chuan gave him an affirmative smile.
On the ground, Peng Yuhui was already there.
For his companions, the loss of Langtuck would more or less affect their mental state, but it wouldn’t affect their performance.
However, according to Lu Wei, his next opponent would be the most arduous battle he had ever fought.
This made Peng Yuhui’s mentality change greatly.
He was well aware of his own strength; he could fight someone two major realms above him and possessed the ability to kill True Immortal experts.
In the entire cultivation world, it was rare for someone to be able to fight above the realm.
The Luo Ding Sect was only a second-tier faction that couldn’t even make it onto the Chosen Roll. Even if there were, for one who intentionally chose not to and focused only on playing, their combat strength wouldn’t be so significantly above his.
Qin Chuan came to the ground and stood opposite Peng Yuhui.
Peng Yuhui carefully sized up Qin Chuan.
“Fifth cla.s.s of Mahayana, a pretty low realm!”
“His aura is neither too big nor too small, and his breathing is stable. This is too ordinary.”
“There are nomological law fluctuations, but they are mixed and not very strong.”
“Is such trash worthy of being my opponent?”
After sizing him up, Peng Yuhui didn’t find anything remarkable about him.
He couldn’t help but suspect that the Demon Emperor had been seeing things or was actually joking with him.
However, on second thought, since the Demon Emperor was a half-step Immortal Emperor, the chances of him making a wrong judgment were slim. There was no reason for him to make such a joke either.
“Forget it! I’ll take it that what the Demon Emperor said is true!”
Although Peng Yuhui said that, he was still disapproving of Qin Chuan’s qualifications to be his opponent.
Qin Chuan was also sizing up Peng Yuhui.
It was no wonder the Sect Master said those words.
Even Sun Luote, after two transformations, might not be his match.
Qin Chuan had to treat such a powerful opponent seriously.
He was also looking forward to sparring with an expert to sharpen himself and make up for his deficiencies.
Like Lan Lang from before.
After his fight with Lan Lang, he had learned what he lacked and what he needed to perfect.
“Are you both ready?” asked the Supreme Venerable Elder loudly from above.
He had repeated this line many times, and this was the last time today.
It was getting dark.
They carried out more than ten matches, from dawn to dusk.
This was the final match, the last chance for the Luo Ding Sect.
In the current situation, the Luo Ding Sect had won five matches and lagged behind the Demons by one.
If Qin Chuan won, the score would be tied.
If it came down to a draw, the Demon’s challenge wouldn’t count as a success, and the Luo Ding Sect would be able to uphold its reputation.
However, Qin Chuan’s opponent was Peng Yuhui, a demon who was of the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc.
If even Xu Longfei didn’t think that Qin Chuan had a chance of winning, then the odds of this battle naturally wouldn’t be optimistic. Xu Longfei was well aware of Qin Chuan’s strength.
Back when Lan Lang found him, he had shown him the video of his fight with Qin Chuan.
Xu Longfei knew very well how strong Lan Lang was. He was practically invincible among his peers.
Among the Immortal Kings of the Immortal realm, Lan Lang’s combat ability was ranked at the forefront.
And just like that, Qin Chuan obtained a spot.
Initially, Xu Longfei thought that Qin Chuan would be able to secure a victory.
However, he did not expect the Demons to send out one of the eight paragons.
Not only that, he was matched up against Qin Chuan twice!
Even Xu Longfei felt that his hands were unlucky, probably because he hadn’t washed his hands in the toilet last night.
The afterglow of the setting sun elongated the shadows of Qin Chuan and Peng Yuhui.
This was the best source of light before night fell.
