Chapter 296 - Four Consecutive Victories

Chapter 296 - Four Consecutive Victories

Everyone from the Azure Lion Empire looked concerned. When Jia Fengmao regained consciousness, his face became pale, with blood dripping down the corner of his mouth.

It was fine if he merely lost. When he examined himself with his divine sense, he screamed.

“Liu Wuxie, how could you be so ruthless!” Jia Fengmao appeared enraged as he fought to rise to his feet. His contorted face bore a sinister and malevolent expression.

“Look at Jia Fengmao’s dantian! His dantian is covered with fine cracks, and his body seems to have suffered heavy injuries. His cultivation will probably stagnate for the rest of his life now.” Everyone was stumped and shocked when their divine sense entered Jia Fengmao’s body.

Liu Wuxie’s punch didn’t just defeat Jia Fengmao but also ended the latter’s path of cultivation.

Even if Jia Fengmao could enter the cultivation world, only some of the ten major sects would accept a disabled person. It was no wonder Jia Fengmao was so furious. With cracks on his dantian, his true essence would leak no matter how hard he tried cultivating. It was like a funnel that would become hard to fill once it cracked.

“Damn it! Our Azure Lion Empire finally got two spots in the top ten, but Liu Wuxie ruined it.” The Azure Lion Empire’s representatives looked at Liu Wuxie with hatred. The cloud of dust had already settled down on the arena, and Liu Wuxie slowly walked down the arena. He had won three battles, securing three points.

Xiao Wenlai’s opponent was Yi Kang, and he easily obtained a point. When he witnessed how Jia Fengmao was sent flying away, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

“Crippling someone in the fourth level of the True Core Realm with one punch. Is he only in the first level?” Everyone in the surroundings fell silent and tried to recall the punch from earlier.

It was unprecedented for someone in the first level to defeat someone in the fourth level. But the Battle of the Hundred Nations this year overturned everyone’s understanding.

After all, fighting and winning against someone with higher cultivation was only limited to legends in the past. Perhaps cultivation wasn’t as important as everyone thought, but every aspect, such as cultivation, talent, knowledge, and so on, was crucial.

“There will be a good show to watch now. The opponents will become stronger, and I wonder if Liu Wuxie can continue to create miracles and secure a spot in the top three.”

Liu Wuxie’s popularity soared after defeating Jia Fengmao, faintly placing him on the same level as Ye Feng and Shui Huan, surpassing Mu Hongyang and Yuwen Tianqian.

This time, no one stepped forward to refute it because defeating Jia Fengmao was only the beginning. Ye Feng and others returned to their respective areas, and a shadow loomed over everyone’s hearts after seeing how Liu Wuxie had crippled Jia Fengmao with one punch.

They got only fifteen minutes of rest time. Jia Fengmao didn’t step onto the stage this time. He knew he would be humiliated if he went up, allowing his opponent to get a point for free.

Thus, Jia Fengmao conceded each of the following battles and sat down to try to treat his injuries. This time, Liu Wuxie went to the fourth arena with Mu Hongyang as his opponent.

When he entered the arena, murderous intent began to surge toward Liu Wuxie. The Glory Flame Empire didn’t have much enmity with Liu Wuxie; everything originated because of the dragon bone.

“Liu Wuxie, I admit that you’re formidable, but this will be your limit. I vow to ensure your expulsion from this place after our battle!” Mu Hongyang had only earned one point so far. Shui Huan and Ye Feng would leave him behind if he continued to lose.

“Make your move!” Liu Wuxie didn’t want to waste time talking. Only Ye Feng and Shui Huan were worthy of his attention among the nine.

After defeating Jia Fengmao, Liu Wuxie’s confidence was boosted, and even someone in the fourth level of the True Core Realm wasn’t as strong as he thought.

During Shui Huan's duel with Hong Yang, Liu Wuxie had discerned the depth of Shui Huan's Void Eye technique, which would allow him to counter it effortlessly with a single move.

But no one sympathized with him, and the Battle of the Hundred Nations was often crueler than they imagined in reality.

Obtaining his fourth victory, Liu Wuxie was ahead of everyone. Not long after Liu Wuxie ended his battle, Ye Feng defeated his opponent smoothly and scored four points.

Shui Huan’s battle was tough as his opponent was Yuwen Tianqian. In the critical moment, Shui Huan revealed his cultivation in the fifth-level True Core Realm to defeat Yuwen Tianqian, obtaining four consecutive wins.

Yuwen Tianqian didn’t lose because of his martial techniques, true essence, or divine art. He lost due to his cultivation. After all, not everyone was qualified to challenge someone with a higher cultivation like Liu Wuxie, and his loss wasn’t unjust.

After four battles, only three people managed to remain undefeated. Yi Kang and Tan Yan still had zero points, and everyone returned to the resting area, awaiting the fifth round.

Everyone discussed how Liu Wuxie had defeated Mu Hongyang with one move. It might not have been the most intense fight, but it left the deepest impression.

After a ten-minute break, the ten participants stood up. When they exchanged glances, they found their respective opponents. Liu Wuxie looked at the third arena, and someone was already on it. This was an interesting round because everyone avoided Xiao Wenlai.

“Liu Wuxie, I want you dead!” Xiao Wenlai said. He had a good relationship with Jia Fengmao, and the cracks in Jia Fengmao’s dantian were a huge blow to the Azure Lion Empire.

The Azure Lion Empire’s headmaster secretly transmitted his voice and asked Xiao Wenlai to kill Liu Wuxie at all costs.

“You want to avenge Jia Fengmao? Let’s see if you have the ability!” Liu Wuxie shrugged nonchalantly.

Xiao Wenlai’s strength was on the same level as Mu Hongyang. He couldn't kill Liu Wuxie, so where did he get the confidence to boast?

Many assumed that Liu Wuxie's victory over Mu Hongyang was attributed to Shui Huan, who had previously defeated Mu Hongyang and seemingly disrupted his spear technique, which Liu Wuxie then capitalized on. However, was that truly the underlying truth?

Of course, Liu Wuxie couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Murderous intent enveloped the entire arena, and a longsword appeared in Xiao Wenlai’s hand. The Thunder Berserk Sword was a sword technique capable of summoning lightning from the nine heavens.

Relying on this sword technique, Xiao Wenlai had defeated Tan Yan earlier. Thus, one could imagine how powerful this sword technique was.

Liu Wuxie didn’t dare to be careless and would give his all to whoever he faced. He raised the Heretic Blade and pointed it towards the sky.

His attacks had no fixed moves and would change according to his opponent's martial techniques. This was the terrifying aspect of the Fatality Blade Art, and each strike was fatal.

“Divine Thunder Guidance!” Xiao Wenlai made his move, unleashing a powerful strike immediately.

Lightning began to flash on the sword, which formed into a waterfall. At first glance, it looked like a grand avenue, and the remarkable aspect of this move was the ability to draw thunder from heaven.

The lightning engulfed Liu Wuxie, leaving no room for him to escape. The entire arena was turned into an ocean of lightning centering around Xiao Wenlai.

This was a formidable attack, and it was no wonder he initially looked down on Liu Wuxie. His strength even surpassed Mu Hongyang's.

Suffocating lightning manifested into serpents pouncing towards Liu Wuxie.
