Chapter 385 - Killed In One Strike

Chapter 385 - Killed In One Strike

Shi Chui missed again, unable to land his attack as his hammer couldn't keep up with Liu Wuxie's speed. Liu Wuxie's agility rivaled that of those in the higher levels of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. After 104 failed attacks from Shi Chui, Liu Wuxie finally made his move, determined to end it swiftly. He soared into the sky like a celestial crane.

"Time to end this!" Liu Wuxie's voice echoed throughout the martial field, attracting everyone's attention from the other fights.

Shao Wendong's eyes were fixed on Liu Wuxie, wanting to see how the latter would deal with Shi Chui's attacks. Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

After Liu Wuxie soared into the sky, he surprised everyone by positioning his head downwards, leaving his defense fully exposed to Shi Chui. No one understood this unusual attack form, and many believed Shi Chui could easily kill him if he managed to defend himself properly.

"What is he trying to do? Is he trying to commit suicide through this method?" The crowd exploded into an uproar, thinking that Liu Wuxie was committing suicide.

But only a few wore a grave expression, not daring to blink because they feared they might miss out on something.

Shi Chui raised his head and crossed his hammers to protect his head. If Liu Wuxie continued to fall, he would be ripped apart by the hammers.

When Liu Wuxie was closer to Shi Chui, he raised his right hand and channeled his true essence with metal elements to fortify his hand.

"Do you think I had no way to kill you and can only dodge?" Liu Wuxie's chilling voice came from above, and only Shi Chui could hear him. He then punched like a thunderbolt that struck Shi Chui's hammers.

A terrifying aura swept out from the two, and the next scene overturned everyone's perception. Shi Chui's hammers sank and smashed into his head.

Shi Chui's head burst apart when the giant hammers descended. After all, even an iron would be flattened under the weight.

But that wasn't all. Shi Chui's body began to shrink from his head, shoulders, and chest, finally stopping at his thighs. When the shockwave finally settled down, only his legs remained in the arena. As for Liu Wuxie and Shi Chui, they had both vanished.

When everyone came to their senses, Liu Wuxie had already returned to the Heavenly Trigram Peak's area, sitting with his legs crossed like nothing had happened earlier.

Shi Chui was killed by Liu Wuxie's punch and his own hammers. His body was blown apart, only leaving his legs intact. Before his death, Shi Chui didn't even have the opportunity to let out a scream.

Everyone in the surroundings took in a deep breath with disbelief in their eyes.

"How did this happen?" Everyone was still in disbelief that Liu Wuxie managed to kill Shi Chui, despite the latter's superhuman strength. It defied all logic and seemed incomprehensible.

Liu Wuxie's final punch not only broke through Shi Chui's defense but also blew him apart. This was only accomplishable if one had at least ten times the strength of his opponent.

Shi Chui, known for his superhuman power, lost in the very area he excelled in, suffering a humiliating death at Liu Wuxie's hands in a direct power confrontation.

"He's too powerful to have killed Shi Chui with a single punch. With his ability, it's practically certain he'll make it into the top ten." Liu Wuxie became the seventh participant to advance to the top two hundred. One more victory would secure him a spot in the top hundred, but each subsequent opponent would be more formidable than Shi Chui.

The disciples in the Heavenly Dipper Realm avoided facing each other, while weaker disciples were quickly eliminated. If Shao Wendong met Chen Lin early, the competition might lose its suspense. Popular disciples were strategically arranged to keep the suspense alive until the end. Early clashes between strong candidates would make the later fights lackluster.

Liu Wuxie wasn't the only one suspecting the draw, but no one said anything about it as it had been an unspoken rule.

"Number 55!" Liu Wuxie headed to Arena 55 and didn't care who his opponent was. His final goal was to take first place, get the rewards, and advance in his cultivation. This was why he had joined the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the first place.

Even Liu Wuxie was skeptical about the protection from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. The sect could only provide him with resources.

Some might wonder why the sect invested so much in nurturing disciples when it seemed like a losing deal. However, a sect operated like a nation, requiring unity against external threats.

If a sect wanted to develop and obtain more resources, they would need the strength to back it up. This meant they required continuous expansion while the higher-ups held the authority and disciples helped them with minor tasks to protect the sect.

It was like how a nation's higher-ups enjoyed supreme authority while the commoners worked. The sect's higher-ups controlled resources vital to cultivators, and the two had no conflict.

Liu Wuxie had seen through this clearly and knew he was only a passerby in the sect. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was only a temporary stop on his journey because he would leave this place sooner or later to reach higher levels.

Emotional ties were mutual, and Liu Wuxie's current and emotional relations were limited to Mu Yueying. But he hadn't seen Mu Yueying once since joining the sect nearly three months ago.

He even asked Bai Lin, but the latter didn't know where Mu Yueying was. They only knew the sect had a young lady, but her appearance and location were unknown to everyone else.

When Liu Wuxie arrived at Arena 55, his opponent was already waiting for him.

Upon spotting Liu Wuxie, a cruel smile spread across Liu Guidong's lips. He had won his previous match effortlessly, expending barely ten percent of his true essence.

Compared to Liu Wuxie, his battles were easy due to his cultivation being in the first level of the Heavenly Dipper Realm. He was also standing at the forefront of the three hundred people who wanted to kill Liu Wuxie that day.

Liu Guidong still harbored resentment from the resounding defeat inflicted by Liu Wuxie.

Liu Wuxie also smiled when he saw Liu Guidong. Did the latter think the Heavenly Dipper Realm was impressive?

"Liu Wuxie, you've finally fallen into my grasp!" Liu Guidong's tone carried a sinister edge. Many coveted Liu Wuxie's demise, and now he had the opportunity to fulfill that desire.

"A deathmatch!" Liu Wuxie said, stating his intent.

"Deathmatch!" Liu Guidong replied.

The arena was soon filled with a chilling atmosphere, and there was no mockery or jeers this time because Liu Wuxie had earned some respect with his strength.
