King of Creation-Chapter 1640 - 1625: A Missed Strike
Outside the Guardian Barrier, the Dao Realm expert’s powerful eye power allowed Eunuch Fuq to clearly see the subtle twitch at the corner of Yuann Hongying’s mouth.
This made Eunuch Fuq sigh silently.
The Young Master cares too much about winning or losing.
Sometimes, caring too much about something can lead to being influenced by it.
If two top masters are evenly matched in a duel, this alone could put one at a disadvantage.
However, regarding today’s battle, Eunuch Fuq feels that his Young Master, Yuann Hongying, will surely win!
Firstly, the Young Master’s mindset toward Di Kuohai has completely changed from the disdain he had six months ago.
Moreover, the Young Master’s cultivation has skyrocketed, and the Acquired Spirit Treasure will exert greater power.
Half a year ago, Di Kuohai barely won, but now, it would be difficult to win narrowly again.
Furthermore, the Young Master’s cultivation has skyrocketed in half a year, backed by huge potential, but for Di Kuohai, his strength may improve, but a significant leap is unlikely.
"After this battle, with the Heart Demon slashed, the Young Master will smoothly break through to the Realm King Realm, and then, the Young Master’s strength will experience a new surge."
Outside the Heavenly Snake Reef battlefield, besides Eunuch Fuq, countless Martial Artists were speculating about the outcome of this battle.
Most people were shocked by Yuann Yinying’s bet, believing Yuann Hongying would win, but a small group was discussing the matter itself.
For instance, Yun Ben, Huangdong, and Luan Da, who were familiar with Ye Zhen, knew about Ye Zhen’s arrangement to duel with Yuann Hongying on the full moon night, so they stayed at the Five Immortals Island for six months in cultivation, waiting to see this great battle before heading home.
At this moment, the three gathered and discussed.
"Yuann Hongying is aggressive this time, with cultivation soaring in a short time. I think this time, Di Kuohai has a high chance of losing, possibly up to eighty percent!" Huangdong first expressed his thoughts.
Yun Ben and Luan Da exchanged a glance, but Yun Ben slowly shook his head, "From the surface, Yuann Hongying’s winning chance is high, and Di Kuohai’s is very low.
But recall, in the Five Immortals Arena half a year ago, wasn’t it Di Kuohai who won against stronger opponents each time?
Every time, he surprises you.
This guy, I think he’s a freak! It’s not going to be easy for Yuann Hongying to win!"
Upon hearing this, Huangdong was not convinced, having been severely defeated by Ye Zhen before, his heart now naturally leaned towards Yuann Hongying, "It’s different, this time is completely different. Look at the cultivation improvement of Yuann Hongying.
And Di Kuohai’s cultivation? Only increased by two levels. Plus..."
The argument escalated between the two as Huangdong thought Yuann Hongying would win for sure, while Yun Ben believed Di Kuohai was unpredictable.
No conclusion was reached, and both looked at Luan Da, who was like the elder brother of their little group.
Luan Da did not immediately declare a winner between them but instead looked toward the hundreds of stalls lined up at a distance by the Five Immortals Hall.
"Do you think the Five Immortals Hall is stupid?"
"Five Immortals Hall is accepting unlimited bets on Yuann Hongying winning, but the odds remain one to three. If Yuann Hongying wins, even the Five Immortals Hall would suffer great losses, right?" Luan Da said.
"This..." Yun Ben and Huangdong hesitated for a moment.
The next moment, Luan Da swiftly shot towards the betting stall with the fewest people, "If you want to make money, follow me and bet on Di Kuohai to win!"
Ultimately, Yun Ben followed, while Huangdong hesitated for a long time but did not go.
In the battlefield, Ye Zhen and Yuann Hongying faced each other from a distance, their auras escalating rapidly, while the sea beneath them became calm under their imposing pressure!
As the vast Guardian Light Screen gradually closed, the warning voice of Mountain God Yi Xun rang out, "Tonight, Five Immortals Arena’s Ten Arena Champion Di Kuohai, and Violent Wind Divine Eagle Yuann Hongying, will have a fair duel here. If any external force dares to interfere with the competition, our Five Immortals Hall’s Dao Realm experts will immediately injure them!
Now, everyone please watch the competition quietly!"
As Mountain God Yi Xun’s voice fell, Yuann Hongying clenched his fist, and his Acquired Spirit Treasure, the Azure Nether Immortal Sword, suddenly appeared behind his head.
"This time, it’s different!"
"Today, you will die without a doubt!"
The sharp sound of breaking air arose, and Yuann Hongying was already a hundred meters in front of Ye Zhen, with the Azure Nether Immortal Sword in his chest rapidly growing in the wind, transforming into a massive azure giant sword a thousand meters long, cutting a profound path, cleaving down toward Ye Zhen.
At this moment, the entire world seemed to be shrouded under the Azure Nether Immortal Sword.
Ye Zhen’s eyebrows slightly rose, Yuann Hongying’s Azure Nether Immortal Sword aura had increased by at least thirty percent.
However, Ye Zhen was no pushover, having condensed a Primordial Spirit, his Divine Ability Cultivation Technique’s power had multiplied exponentially.
Just as the Xuan Fire Drill was about to launch, Purple Spirit’s Divine Soul Telecommunication abruptly sounded in Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace.
"With only this level of Sword Dao attainment, how dare you flaunt it before me?"
"Face him, shift four meters to the left front!" Purple Spirit stated.
A mocking smile abruptly appeared on Ye Zhen’s face.
For this battle, if Purple Spirit did not intervene, Yuann Hongying could indeed fight Ye Zhen directly; even if losing, Ye Zhen could showcase his style.
But with Purple Spirit’s intervention, Ye Zhen knew that Yuann Hongying was in for some bad luck.
"You can’t blame me for this. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for trying to slash me with a sword in front of Purple Spirit, this swordsmanship expert..."
Moving with intent, in the next instant, Ye Zhen moved precisely to the left front, four meters away, as instructed by Purple Spirit, in a flash.
All the spectators’ eyes were fixed on Yuann Hongying’s awe-inspiring, unavoidable sword slash.
But in the next moment, everyone was stunned. That Di Kuohai merely shifted casually two steps.
Then, everyone gaped, watching Yuann Hongying’s Azure Nether Immortal Sword, like a lightning bolt, slice past just beside Ye Zhen, the air current from the Sword Light causing Ye Zhen’s long hair tied at the back of his head to flutter.
An extreme close call!
Instantly, everyone was dumbfounded. Was this vision just too sharp?
Even Mountain God Yi Xun was stunned. He thought that once the two made a move, it would be intense, but he didn’t expect it to be a missed slash like this.
How sharp must one’s vision be to dare such a deceptive maneuver?
The once somewhat lazy-looking Yuann Yinying suddenly straightened, the look in his eyes towards Ye Zhen changed abruptly.
In that instant, Yuann Hongying, whose sword slash missed, was so frustrated he wanted to spit blood.
But what made him even more uncomfortable was yet to come.
After the Sword Light flashed past, Ye Zhen’s finger tips sparkled with the Xuan Fire Drill, which rotated, whistling towards Yuann Hongying.
Even more unfortunate, at this moment Yuann Hongying was still rapidly lunging towards Ye Zhen, appearing as if Yuann Hongying was actively throwing himself towards Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Drill.
Actively taking the blast!
In such a situation, it was impossible for Yuann Hongying to dodge.
However, Yuann Hongying wasn’t very concerned about Ye Zhen’s Xuan Fire Drill. He had endured this move against Ye Zhen before; it couldn’t harm his Acquired Spirit Treasure Dragon Soul Battle Armor!
Although his Dragon Soul Battle Armor had been severely damaged twice before and hadn’t fully recovered, significantly reducing its power, his cultivation had greatly improved, allowing the Dragon Soul Battle Armor to exhibit even stronger defense.
With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, the Dragon Soul Battle Armor appeared on Yuann Hongying’s body surface, two dim dragon heads perched on his left and right shoulders.
Simultaneously, Yuann Hongying infused his entire Divine Sense into the Acquired Spirit Treasure Azure Nether Immortal Sword, urging it to return and slash backward.
This battle, the strategy set by Eunuch Fuq for him was to not hold back, to launch an all-out assault, leaving Di Kuohai no breathing space, so he could kill Di Kuohai.
Boom!
The first Xuan Fire Drill smashed onto Yuann Hongying’s body surface, exploding fiercely. As the firelight burst forth, Yuann Hongying’s heart suddenly jolted; the power seemed to be vastly different from before.
Almost simultaneously, another Xuan Fire Drill exploded on his body surface!
Boom!
The blinding firelight was like a volcanic eruption, and in that instant of explosion, a death-adjacent sensation made Yuann Hongying’s heart suddenly clutch.
Reacting instinctively, the Spiritual Power within Yuann Hongying surged crazily into the Dragon Soul Battle Armor.
In the next instant, in front of the volcanic eruption-like explosion of the Xuan Fire Drill, Yuann Hongying’s figure was blasted flying backward.
As he flew backward, the two dragon head phantoms on his shoulders emitted an extremely mournful wail.
The two dragon head phantoms began to rapidly fade, and the Dragon Soul Battle Armor on Yuann Hongying’s body surface disintegrated into light spots, like cracking!
Yuann Hongying exclaimed, quickly filling his body surface with Spiritual Power, but his expression turned extremely shocked! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
This isn’t right!
Half a year ago, Di Kuohai couldn’t shatter his Dragon Soul Battle Armor with this move, but today, how did it break it so quickly?
Outside the battlefield, Eunuch Fuq was also dumbfounded.
This is illogical!
By rights, the Young Master should be able to exert even greater power from those Acquired Spirit Treasures, making it easier to withstand; it shouldn’t be like this.
After all, those are Acquired Spirit Treasures.
Many martial artists watching were also dumbfounded, especially those who had watched the Five Immortals Arena battle between Di Kuohai and Yuann Hongying, and were even more astonished.
This is absolutely illogical.
Just how much did Di Kuohai’s combat power need to skyrocket to reach this level?
It seems that Di Kuohai’s cultivation hasn’t advanced much.
Those martial artists who had earlier bet on Yuann Hongying to win suddenly had their hearts hanging in suspense, especially those who had bet a large amount of Spirit Stones hoping for a profit.
However, Ye Zhen merely smirked. Previously, the drills he launched were only Sixth Formation Profound Fire Drills, and he hadn’t yet deployed the current strongest Seventh Formation Profound Fire Drill.
But, Ye Zhen just smirked, for the opportunity couldn’t be missed.
With a flick of his eye, the Thunder Light Pearl hovering above Ye Zhen’s head flashed, as the Evil Punishing Divine Thunder transformed into a Thunder Snake, roaring towards the distant Yuann Hongying!
Ye Zhen’s aggressive assault began!
