Sensing Lin Yun’s fighting spirit, Heartcliff sneered, “You’re really confident. Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“The next move is a technique created by me over the past three years. Three years ago, it’s still not a mature move yet, and I’ve never used it in public. I was initially saving it for Qin Yu, but you can have a taste of it. This move is called Astral Devour.” Heartcliff clenched his fist and the ferocious aura around him surged. He was like a bright star in the darkness, which emitted a shocking aura from him that made all the spectators shocked.
Even the Violet Palace Realm experts on the spectator seats went silent because not even some Violet Palace Realm elders were confident of taking this move.
“How terrifying…”
“This is the punch he worked on for the past three years?” The Sword Firmament Pavilion’s party wore a grave expression, and Xin Yan also looked worried.
“Hmph, Heartcliff used this fist to kill a Violet Palace Realm wandering cultivator. I don’t believe that sword slave can take it!” Wen Yanbo looks excited. It was as if he could see Lin Yun being killed by this attack.
Those who made it into the best eight frowned their brows because they could sense how powerful this attack was. This meant that Heartcliff probably devoted the past three years into this attack. As Heartcliff continued to brew his attack, Lin Yun was under an unprecedented pressure. But there was no anxiety in his heart.
His eyes blazed with fighting spirits, and his nearly completed xiantian sword intent buzzed crazily. Along with a radiating brilliance from the Flower Burial Sword, it was shining out with its own brilliance in the darkness.
“Aquaselenic Sword—Heavenly Cloud Shatter!” Lin Yun also brought out the self-created tenth move in the Aquaselenic Sword. His aura climbed to the pinnacle, and the domineering aura emitted from him formed into a tornado that swept away the stone fragments on the stage.
The sword intent coming from the aura was terrifying, which even created a phenomenon. Lightning was flickering in the sky, which shone onto Lin Yun’s face. This was an attack that could shatter heaven, and only his sword was eternal.
At the same time, the crimson fist exploded. Two attacks that could easily kill an ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivator clashed on the stage, which felt as if heaven and earth were shaking. With the Dragon Gate Plaza at the center, the seven other stages were also trembling violently with cracks spreading out on them.
“Crap!” The judge’s face changed as he wanted to block the shockwaves.
But Emperor Qin suddenly spoke out, “Where are the Divine Guards?”
“Here!” The Divine Guards’ elites appeared from the surroundings as they blocked the shockwaves. They were all in the eighth stage of the Profound Martial Realm, and if all of them acted at the same time, even Violet Palace Realm cultivators would have to run from them.
However, the shockwaves swept out domineering that caused those elites to throw out blood. The last wave of shockwave was blocked by the judge personally. Otherwise, no one knew how many spectators would be killed from the shockwave.
This made everyone’s faces pale from the shock. The power from the two attacks had exceeded everyone’s imagination. If it wasn’t the shockwaves that struck the Divine Guards’ elites but the attack itself, no one would question that the Divine Guards’ elites would be dead.
The thought of this made everyone tremble in fear. After all, ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivators couldn’t even accomplish something like this!
The clash continued on the stage, and the two were bearing unparalleled rebound force. The force they had to bear was a lot stronger than the shockwaves that were released into the surroundings.
With a rumbling explosion, Lin Yun and Heartcliff both flew out. Lin Yun landed on a stage, which shattered the stage into pieces with his body deeply implanted into the stage. On the other side, Heartcliff’s Dracophant War Armor was shattered with his body covered with wounds. He was blown out onto another stage and implanted in it.
No one knew if they were still alive, and everyone could feel a buzz in their minds. No one had expected that the battle would be so intense. The silence lasted for a long while as everyone looked at the two piles of stones in fear; they had no idea who had won.
“Holy shit, those two attacks are created by themselves?”
“Indeed, I’ve never seen those two attacks in the Dracophant War Fist or the Aquaselenic Sword.”
“But Lin Yun’s attack seems to be slightly stronger in the clash.”
“Can’t say for sure. Lin Yun’s sword is indeed stronger, but his physique isn’t as strong as Heartcliff. So he might not be able to bear the shockwaves.”
“Let’s wait for them to get up.” The audience were all shocked, but many Violet Palace Realm cultivators had seen the results clearly.
“Hmph?” Many people were shocked because there was a tremble on the ground.
Suddenly, the stones blew apart and Heartcliff stood up with his face paled. He didn’t care about his injuries, and he looked at another pile of stone with a burst of laughter, “I still won!”
But before he could finish his laughter, the other pile of stones were blown apart by a sword. This made Heartcliff’s face change as he threw out a punch at the sword, but he threw out a mouthful of blood when he tried to attack and staggered on the stage.
A golden streak flew out from the pile of stones and grabbed onto the sword. With the sword pointing at the center of Heartcliff’s forehead, a faint voice sounded out, “You lost.”
When the golden light slowly dissipated, it revealed Lin Yun’s figure.
“No, this can’t me! How can I possibly lose?!” Heartcliff looked at Lin Yun with disbelief and he threw out a punch, wanting to knock the sword away. But before he could even attack, a crimson line slowly ran across his head and his face was severed into two.
No matter how quick a punch was, could it be faster than a sword that was already placed at the forehead? Did Heartcliff really think that Lin Yun didn’t dare to kill him? If so, then he could regret his actions in the afterlife.
Along with Heartcliff’s corpse collapsing onto the ground, Lin Yun sheathed his sword, and he looked around at the stage.
