Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Severing with One Sword (3 more updates)
On the podium, Long Yu spoke anxiously:
"Should we intervene? It’s a shame if Yang Xiao dies, he’s a true talent."
Long Wei replied indifferently:
"If he is killed by Li Jiachen, then he’s no talent."
Long Yu paused, nodding and watching the battle above, although he also regretted seeing talent like Yang Xiao perish, in this arena it has always been about survival of the fittest.
"You’re seeking death!"
Seeing Yang Xiao charging towards him, Li Jiachen yelled, opening his huge mouth, and spraying a dense green Poison fog towards Yang Xiao.
Thus, everyone saw Yang Xiao’s figure instantly enveloped by the green Poison fog.
Long Yu sighed,
"What a pity!"
Du Tianxing and Gu Beifeng simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. With Yang Xiao dead, they had one less potential formidable competitor, as fewer competitors in this world, the better.
Zhao Benling let out an "Ah" of regret. It took him great effort just to introduce Yang Xiao, a chess piece from Changbai, and he hadn’t expected him to die before making a move. Now, he had to invite Li Jiachen to Wuji Mountain.
The rest of the people also sighed relentlessly. No matter what, Yang Xiao, with his High-Level Enhanced Gene, put up such a fierce fight against King Level Li Jiachen, and though defeated, it was still honorable.
It was just a pity for such a talent, given time to grow into a King Level Evolver, his future would be boundless, possibly even dominating Xuanming Country.
Just when everyone thought Yang Xiao had perished, suddenly, a strong burst of light erupted from the green fog.
The crowd exclaimed, "Ah!"
A figure, enveloped in golden light, shot out from the green fog like Lightning, leaping onto the head of Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul Giant Snake. With a tap of his toe, he leaped from the snake’s head to its body, raising his Longsword and fiercely chopping down on the snake’s body.
A five-meter-long blue Sword Qi tore through the void, ten Sword Qi shadows almost overlapped, and with a snap, it cleanly severed the Giant Snake in half.
"Ow—"
The Giant Snake howled in pain, its massive body crashing down onto the plaza, then the Giant Snake disappeared, leaving Li Jiachen in human form, but now split into two.
Li Jiachen wasn’t dead immediately, his eyes terrified, looking at the nearby Yang Xiao, he said:
"Impossible! Impossible!"
In Li Jiachen’s plan, no matter how strong Yang Xiao’s Combat Power was, it wasn’t supposed to breach his high defense.
"Heh, your Beast Soul can increase defense by 50%, and you think I can’t increase my attack damage by 100%? Ridiculous!"
"What?"
Li Jiachen stared blankly at Yang Xiao, his eyes quickly losing their luster, and he died.
To his death, he didn’t understand how Yang Xiao had breached his ultra-high defense.
When Yang Xiao rushed into his poison fog, he instantly activated the "Burst" Soul Skill, increasing his attack damage by 100%.
Yang Xiao, holding his breath, rushed out from the green poison fog, feeling a bit dizzy, but at this moment he couldn’t care less as he had already mixed two Detoxification Pills with the Small Blood Pill he had taken earlier.
The Golden Bee Sword Skill burst out with ten Sword Qi shadows, combined with Ancient Martial Sword Qi, chopping down on Li Jiachen’s Beast Soul snake body.
The cumulative enhancements instantly increased the attack damage by another 100%, Li Jiachen’s ultra-high defense couldn’t withstand it, and he was directly severed in two.
Li Jiachen is dead!
The entire audience inhaled sharply, including Long Wei, Long Yu, and about a dozen men in black, staring blankly at Yang Xiao.
Everyone couldn’t believe how Yang Xiao, a person with High-Level Enhanced Gene, had breached the Beast Soul of King Level Li Jiachen?
But the fact was right in front of them, leaving no room for doubt.
Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and others were internally shocked beyond words; everyone thought of themselves, wondering what the consequences would have been if they were in Li Jiachen’s place instead?
In the end, everyone could only feel fortunate that they weren’t up against Yang Xiao.
Long Wei’s eyes sparkled as he watched Yang Xiao.
"Yang Xiao, wins!"
Everyone burst into applause.
Yang Xiao sheathed his longsword, bowed to the crowd in salute, glanced at Li Jiachen’s body on the ground, and slowly walked out of the square.
Long Wei deactivated the energy defense membrane covering the square and stood up, saying:
"After two days of competition, we have determined the top three from forty-two masters. Everyone is tired, especially after this afternoon’s exciting finals. Everyone should head back to their rooms to rest. We will gather in the sixth-floor lobby tomorrow morning."
Long Wei and others headed toward Wentian City International Hotel, followed slowly by Yang Xiao and his group.
East King Zhao Benling hurried to Yang Xiao’s side, giving a thumbs up,
"Brother Yang, I admire you, you really opened my eyes today."
Yang Xiao smiled faintly.
Du Tianxing hesitated for a moment, then quickly caught up to Yang Xiao and said:
"Yang Xiao, how are you feeling? Li Jiachen’s poison mist is very potent, I have some Detoxification Pills here, you should take two."
"Thank you, Du Tianwang, I have already taken Detoxification Pills."
Yang Xiao did not stop, and continued walking straight ahead.
Du Tianxing was taken aback, somewhat awkwardly followed and said:
"Brother Yang, your Genetic Evolution is too slow, are you lacking resources? I have eight million Crystal Coins here, consider it a gift from me. Take it for now, and when I have extra, I’ll give you more."
"Ha ha, thank you for your kindness, Du Tianwang, but no need, I can handle it myself."
Yang Xiao did not turn back, and quickly entered Wentian City International Hotel.
Du Tianxing did not chase after him any further, standing awkwardly outside.
"Ha ha, Du Tianxing, do you really need to grovel so much to him? After all, you’re also a king of Magic City, known as Du Tianwang."
Du Tian turned his head to see Gu Beifeng.
"This is my business, it’s not your concern."
"Ah, brother Du, are you still upset about Wuji Mountain? Alright, my fault, but you attacked my base first. If you had given me a heads-up, I would’ve let one go for you."
"Heh, you really know how to say things after the fact. You closed all the portals, how could I get to Wentian City to greet you? I sent someone to pass you a message, did you care?"
Gu Beifeng slapped his forehead,
"Ah, that was the messenger’s fault, he didn’t clearly convey your intentions, leading to misunderstandings between us brothers. Let me apologize, let’s leave the past in the past, okay?"
"Hmph! How can the resources of the grassland compare to the Primitive Forest of Wuji Mountain? I told you, I took the grassland just for my followers, I myself need to go to Wuji Mountain for Genetic Evolution. We agreed originally to go hunting in Wuji Mountain together, but you went first, monopolizing it and closing all portals."
"Ah, brother Du, let’s leave what’s past behind, dwelling on it is pointless, we should think about the present."
"The present?"
Du Tianxing paused, looking at Gu Beifeng.
Currently, outside the door, only the two of them were present, with others having entered the building and only four Iron Tower Warriors at the entrance.
Gu Beifeng led Du Tianxing a few steps away and whispered:
"Both of us are stuck at the bottleneck of King Level Evolution, but Yang Xiao isn’t. He’s only at High-Level Enhancement now, but you’ve seen how he’s been over the last two days. Once Yang Xiao breaks through to the King Level, do you think you can match him?"
Du Tianxing felt a chill in his heart, looking up at Gu Beifeng,
"What do you mean?"
"In this tournament, only two people died, Luoying City’s king Jiang Tao and Eastern Province’s king Li Jiachen, both killed by Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao seems merciful on the surface, but he’s ruthless inside.
After this meeting, once Yang Xiao returns to Kongming City, he will immediately annex Eastern Province and Luoying City Province. With that, he will have Kongming City, North City, Luoying City, and Eastern Province, concentrating the resources of four provinces. Breaking through the King Level is just a matter of time.
Once Yang Xiao achieves King Level Genetic Evolution, Du brother, do you really think we can still control Xuanming District?"
Du Tianxing inhaled sharply, looking at Gu Beifeng.
"That’s his capability, what can we do?"
"We must join forces!"
Gu Beifeng’s mouth twitched slightly, his expression grave.
