Desolate Devouring Art-Chapter 157 - Kill

The profound artifact sealed the entire arena, and no one in the Xiantian Realm could break free. But Liu Wuxie moved freely, easily tearing apart the air current formed by the profound artifact. He also released a powerful shockwave and raised his right fist.

This scene shocked countless people.

“What a powerful physique! His physique resembles someone in the high levels of the Spirit Cleansing Realm!” Ignoring the suppression of a profound artifact could only be done with a powerful physique.

Liu Wuxie was brimming with ferocity due to the pills he had consumed. He had not been able to release this energy, and in the previous fight, he had used merely a tenth of his strength.

This was not a physique that an ordinary person could achieve, causing everyone to regard Liu Wuxie with fear. Sensing something amiss, Xue Pinzhi, who had been at the academy for years and had a quick reaction speed, swung his blade towards Liu Wuxie’s waist.

“You’re too weak!” Liu Wuxie’s right hand appeared close to Xue Pinzhi’s neck.

In an instant, the shockwave that had filled the surroundings vanished as Liu Wuxie seized Xue Pinzhi by the throat. A strangled cry, reminiscent of a duck’s death throes, escaped him. Liu Wuxie hoisted him off the ground, his longsword clattering to the earth. Liu Wuxie also sealed the true essence within Xue Pinzhi, rendering him powerless.

Despite Xue Pinzhi possessing a profound artifact, Liu Wuxie subdued him effortlessly. His legs thrashed wildly in the air as he struggled to speak, but no words came out. His face turned an alarming shade of red from the lack of oxygen.

Xue Rui’s gaze was terrifyingly cold. Since Xue Pinzhi was defeated with one move, they all had a wrong judgment of Liu Wuxie’s strength.

“Your time is up!” Liu Wuxie declared, tightening his grip and breaking Xue Pinzhi’s neck without letting him utter a word. They were enemies, after all, and there was no need for conversation—only the act of killing.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Liu Wuxie sent Xue Pinzhi’s body flying into the corner of the arena. Xue Pinzhi’s eyes bulged in terror, reflecting his fear in his final moments.

After killing Xue Pinzhi, Liu Wuxie turned to look at the Xue Clan’s party. They exchanged a gaze for three minutes, but not one person from the Xue Clan dared to look at Liu Wuxie directly and had their heads lowered.

The entire venue became quiet because even the teachers in the Marrow Cleansing Realm couldn’t comprehend how someone in the Xiantian Realm killed another in the Spirit Cleansing Realm so easily.

Just as Liu Wuxie was about to leave the arena, a figure emerged, shrouded in an aura of murderous intent that filled the space.

“Liu Wuxie, you’re a dead man!” Bai Qiong returned after attending to his younger brother’s remains. He didn’t even glance at Xue Pinzhi’s lifeless body, his heart consumed by rage. He vowed to end Liu Wuxie’s life that very day.

“Likewise!” Liu Wuxie’s facial expression was terrifyingly calm. He showed no anxiety or excitement after killing someone. It was as though he had done something ordinary. Someone like that was terrifying because nothing could arouse his attention.

With a swift kick from Liu Wuxie, the profound artifact soared through the air, landing before Li Shengsheng. “Brother Li,” Liu Wuxie said, “let’s consider this profound artifact as payment for the fifty credits I owe you. I’ve already removed the mark from this weapon.”

Liu Wuxie owed Li Shengsheng fifty credits, and he hadn’t had the opportunity to return them. This profound artifact served as his repayment, as he had other plans for his hundred credits.

“Thank you, Junior Brother!” Li Shengsheng swiftly pocketed the profound artifact. Its value far exceeded fifty credits, closer to five hundred credits, making it a significant windfall for him.

A trash like that naturally wouldn’t catch Liu Wuxie’s attention. He would forge a genuine, profound artifact possessing profundity if he wanted.

Countless gazes were directed at Li Shengsheng with envy. On the other hand, Xue Rui gritted his teeth because he had spent a lot of resources to forge that profound artifact, and Liu Wuxie casually gave it to Li Shengsheng.

“Xue Rui, I can see you’re displeased,” Liu Wuxie addressed the Xue Clan’s party, disregarding Bai Qiong’s murderous aura. “But be patient. Your turn will come after I’ve dealt with him.”

“Talk again if you can live through this fight.” Xue Rui’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent.

Turning around, Liu Wuxie looked at Bai Qiong, “One move! Your turn!”

Liu Wuxie was eager to kill the Xue Clan; he didn’t want to waste too much time on Bai Qiong. This was why he planned on dealing with Bai Qiong in one move. But this time, no one mocked and cursed Liu Wuxie for being arrogant. After all, Liu Wuxie had killed three people by far, all with one move. Tao Wenbing, Bai Yu, and Xue Pinzhi were dead.

Bai Qiong might have cultivation in the third level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm, but would he win the fight? No one knew about that because no one saw Liu Wuxie using any powerful moves, and the battles were all won with one move.

“Bai Qiong is ranked ninth on the Earth Ranking, so it’s difficult to tell who will win this fight.” murmured the crowd as they considered the previous opponents Liu Wuxie had faced.

Tao Wenbing was only in the Xiantrian Realm, and his movement technique was the only thing formidable. Bai Yu was a new student who had recently joined the academy and was still lacking. That was more or less the case for Xue Pinzhi, who mainly relied on the profound artifact. But in the end, his neck was crushed by Liu Wuxie.

It was apparent that the three needed more strength. However, Bai Qiong was different, as he had been in the academy for a long time and was known for his strength. If he was in Liu Wuxie’s position, he could have also killed those three with one move.

“There’s something weird about that brat. He has a powerful movement technique. His physique and true essence are also superior compared to his peers. Bai Qiong won’t have much odds of winning this fight.” Someone noticed the difference in strength and rubbed their hands together, eager to watch the fight.

“Junior Brother Song, what are the odds of Junior Brother Liu?” Song Ling wasn’t worried about the fight in the past few battles, and everything had panned out as he had predicted. This time, Wang Yonghao and others gathered around to ask Song Ling.

“One move. All Brother Liu needs is one move to kill him!” Over the past few days, Song Ling’s physique had been catching up to Li Shengsheng's. Under Liu Wuxie’s guidance, Song Ling had made leaps and bounds in spiritual arrays, which Advanced Class Seven greatly welcomed.

After hearing Song Ling’s reply, everyone felt relieved and waited for the battle.

Bai Qiong was furious that Liu Wuxie wanted to kill him in one move and drew his sword. He had come so far because of his strength, climbing to the ninth position on Earth's ranking.

“I will offer your head as a tribute to my junior brother,” Bai Qiong said as he disappeared and swung his sword down. Having attained higher mastery, Bai Qiong’s Terranean Sword Art was a few hundred times stronger than Bai Yu’s.

“You could have lived a little longer if you hadn’t challenged me. Do you think that I was afraid of you back in the dining hall? You should be thankful to Brother Zuo Hong because he let you live for an extra month,” Liu Wuxie said in disdain. This put a bitter smile on Zuo Hong’s face before he shook his head.

It had already spread in the academy that Liu Wuxie had called Bai Qiong a retard back in the dining hall. Holding that grudge in his heart, Bai Qiong had asked Bai Yu to challenge Liu Wuxie. However, he had never anticipated that Liu Wuxie would kill Bai Yu in just one strike.

“I’ll tear you into pieces!” Bai Qiong’s expression twisted upon hearing Liu Wuxie’s words, like a furious bull with immense power pouring out of him.

“Is he sick in mind? Bai Qiong’s attack would only become stronger after being enraged.” Several advanced class students stood up, thinking there was an issue with Liu Wuxie’s head. After all, it was unwise to enrage Bai Qiong at this moment.

However, they failed to realize that anger easily clouds one’s judgment. Bai Qiong’s sword aura poured out, forming two different streams that looked like a river being split apart, with Liu Wuxie at its center. freew ebnovel.com

“Sun-Moon Terranean!” Bai Qiong didn’t hold back and used his strongest move. The true essence in his dantian began pouring out and gathered to form a net. No one could survive this attack, even in the third level of the Spirit Cleansing Realm.

The surroundings darkened, with Liu Wuxie at the center of the storm, teetering on the brink of engulfment. The arena was no longer visible under the storm of sword aura, producing a sound similar to a beast’s roar. The roar created a powerful shockwave that swept out, destroying the blue slabs in the arena.

“It’s too powerful!” The students in the crowd were dumbfounded as this was beyond their comprehension.

“That brat is finally going to die!” Students of Advanced Class Six jumped in excitement, celebrating Liu Wuxie’s impending death. However, most people maintained their silence, waiting to see the end result of this battle. After all, most geniuses had their trump cards.

Xu Lingxue had been restless ever since Liu Wuxie had appeared. She was the disciple of a vice-headmaster, and they were assigned a region that ordinary people couldn’t access.

As the darkness intensified, it swallowed the surroundings of the arena, akin to a rumbling river of darkness. Meanwhile, Liu Wuxie was like a pebble tossed into the river.

“Liu Wuxie, you can die now!” Bai Qiong pressed his hands down with even more terrifying power, manifesting into arrows that shot at Liu Wuxie.

“Someone like you wants to kill me? Have a taste of my blade technique!” Liu Wuxie’s voice echoed in the darkness. He stood steadfast against Bai Qiong’s attack, leaving those who had previously mocked him in disbelief.

In the following moment, the darkness was cleaved apart by a thread of white light, appearing as a seemingly insignificant blade aura. Shortly after, torrential blade intent tore apart the darkness and welcomed light.

The blade intent enveloped the sky and tore apart the entire world. As the air began to compress, the airflow formed into a tornado, lifting Liu Wuxie. This made Liu Wuxie look like a deity, enveloped in a layer of golden light, making all the students feel the urge to go down on their knees.

“What’s going on? I can’t control myself!” The students with lower cultivations struggled to overcome their desire to go down on their knees. Only those in the Marrow Cleansing Realm could barely withstand it, because Liu Wuxie gave off a hint of an Immortal Emperor’s aura. Even though it was only a strand of aura, it wasn’t something ordinary people could withstand.
