C92 Su Lie
C92 Su Lie
It wasn't because he was surprised by how strong Su Lieh's Aura was, but because he saw that Su Lieh was accumulating his potential and was preparing to kill with one strike.
Bloodfire Emperor had used this method when he was young. It could even be said that he was much more adept at this method than Su Lieh. He had used this method many times to kill his opponent.
Accumulation required time and distance, as well as the condition that the opponent couldn't escape. Without these conditions, it wasn't possible to use a One Strike Kill Storing. These conditions, under the current circumstances, were undoubtedly very compatible!
Of course, the rule that no one was allowed to kill in the ranking war was still there, but before that, no one could criticize anything. As for after taking action, this rule naturally didn't matter anymore!
This was Su Lieh's real intention in choosing this battle for the ranking battle of the Phoenix Dress Ranking!
Besides probing his own strength, what he did most of the time was to create the appropriate condition for Su Lieh to appear on stage and accumulate force. As his thoughts revolved, Chen Yu had already thought through all of this, and then the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise into a trace of a sneer.
This kind of 'one-hit kill' momentum could allow one to unleash 120% of one's combat prowess, but if one was unable to succeed after a single strike, then the aura would dissipate and become weak!
In addition, if one wanted to use this method to fight, it was equal to admitting that they were weak. One had to strike with the weak.
"You know your own limits!" Chen Yu muttered to himself as his gaze fell on Su Lieh's face.
He was about 23 or 24 years old, with a square face, a pair of sword-like eyebrows, and eyes like stars, indifferent and proud. With this kind of appearance and temperament, coupled with his incomparably tall and sturdy physique, Su Lieh was like a natural born tyrant. Even if he stood in the midst of thousands of people, he would be noticed instantly.
His steps were not fast, but with every step he took, the Astral Energy behind him intensified, and his aura increased as well. In front of him, the crowd had completely dispersed, leaving an incomparably wide path.
In terms of imposing manner, Su Zhao, who was also at the second level of the Heavenly Astral Stage, was completely not worth mentioning when compared to Su Lieh at this moment.
Under Su Lieh's strong momentum, the huge Academy Plaza suddenly became silent. The atmosphere was a little strange.
Chen Yu stood there with a calm expression and a sharp blade in his hand.
Su Lieh's appearance was indeed eye-catching, domineering, fierce, and intimidating, but what kind of genius hadn't Bloodfire Emperor seen in Chen Yu's memory? Compared to those arrogant geniuses of Profound Heaven Sect, Su Lieh was weaker by more than one level!
If the gap between their realms did not exist, this Su Lieh would not have deserved to be taken seriously by Chen Yu.
"Kid, it's still too late for you to admit defeat!" A deep voice entered his ears.
Chen Yu turned around and looked. The one who spoke was Hong Lei. He revealed a regretful expression and said, "The method to accumulate power is rarely seen. I didn't expect that Su Lieh had already mastered it." If I can reach the pinnacle of this kind of energy storage, I can easily kill you in one hit. At that time, I won't be confident enough to save you! "
When Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher Hong, you should consider how to save Su Lieh from my blade!"
Hong Lei shook his head speechlessly when he heard this. He was just a teacher in charge of the Phoenix Arena and had nothing to do with Chen Yu, so he advised Chen Yu out of good intentions. Since Chen Yu was so ungrateful and arrogant, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
Su Lieh was still accumulating his potential, but his speed had increased by a few points. He was only about fifty meters away from the first stage.
Chen Yu still did not make a move and waited silently.
On top of the academy tower, black and white chess pieces were scattered across the chessboard, and the two dragons were already on the verge of death.
The old man who was holding the chess piece glanced at the Academy's plaza. Hei Zi landed and blocked Bai Long's path. The situation on the chess board immediately changed drastically as killing intent burst forth from him.
The white stick in Lu Yuan's hand floated in the air, this move of the old man's could be said to be extremely tough, regardless of his chess piece flaw, he wanted to forcefully seal the white dragon's head, swallowing the entire white dragon.
"What's the rush?" Lu Yuan said softly after his finger was suspended in midair for a full ten seconds. The chess piece in his hand fell down and landed on the side where Hei Zi was holding his hand.
The two sides clashed.
On the square, Su Lieh's speed increased once again. In an instant, he grabbed the hilt of the gigantic sword on his shoulder.
The huge sword had no sheath and was wrapped in layers of cloth. Su Lieh waved his wrist with the hilt of his sword, and the thick cloth surrounding the huge sword shattered, turning into pieces of cloth dancing in the air.
The sword was six feet long and one palm wide. The blade was sharp, and the long bloody groove on the blade was shocking.
The moment the sword's true form was revealed, sword beams began to spread throughout the sword's body, but they were blazing with a fiery red color, extremely gorgeous.
At the same time, Su Lieh's aura had risen to its peak. His majestic aura had become incomparably sharp and overbearing.
"It's the Great Gan Sword, one of the few true weapons with the strongest Su Family. Su Lieh actually brought it here!"
"The pressure is too strong, and the presence of the clan elders is only mediocre!"
Su Lieh's aura soared to its peak, making the spectators and the students of the academy feel more at ease. That was because the powerful aura was no longer an indistinguishable cover against the arena.
Su Lieh held his huge sword and a bright light flashed across his eyes. It brought along an extremely strong killing intent. His gaze locked onto Chen Yu as he leapt into the air and headed straight for the Phoenix Battlestage.
A strong wave of power enveloped Chen Yu, bringing an invisible huge pressure. This pressure seemed to directly invade Chen Yu's heart and shatter his will to fight.
Hong Lei, who was standing on the edge of the Phoenix Battlestage, subconsciously shrunk his body. He was not targeted by Su Lieh, but he was affected by the momentum.
"You're just gathering your potential. Could it be that you're the only one who knows how to do that?" Chen Yu smiled faintly and let out a deep sound. His body suddenly trembled and the true energy within his dantian started to surge crazily.
At the same time, Chen Yu's blood began to flow faster, and his heart began to beat like a drum.
The instant his heart beat faster, the true energy within his body poured out and rapidly released through every pore. It was like a landslide or a tsunami, extremely intense in an instant.
Chen Yu's body woke up like a sleeping Mang Long, and he started to raise his head and turn around.
At this moment, Chen Yu's aura also continued to rise.
The raging Zhen Qi started to revolve in the air, along with a deep blood-red color.
Pah, on the tower of the academy, Lu Yuan slapped down a white piece. He picked up a black piece and threw it into the chessboard. The chessboard that was entangled together immediately became clear, and the white dragon fell apart.
On the other hand, Hei Zi's chessboard was fragmented, and it was hard to see his head and tail.
"You've let me win!" Lu Yuan said lightly as he stood up and looked towards the arena.
"Lu Mountain Master is really good at chess!" The old man shook his head and stood up as well. Standing at the edge of the tower, he pointed towards the Phoenix Battlestage and said, "However, this round, Mountain Master might not necessarily win, right?"
"This will depend on Great Elder's decision!" Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "If Dalong wants to come out, he'll only break his chess piece if he holds it down forcefully. I think Great Elder knows about this, but I wonder what Great Elder will choose?"
"Then let's see what kind of dragon the head is!" The Great Elder laughed loudly, "If it's a dragon, even if it's the shape of a chess piece is broken, you still have to eat its tail to make it impossible for you to get it all!"
Su Lieh's aura had already reached its peak. The fiery red astral energy condensed and covered the surface of the huge sword layer by layer. It formed a majestic and wanton sword beam that seemed to want to tear apart the sky.
The enormous sword whistled through the air like a thunderclap, ear-piercing and sharp.
His sword intent soared through the skies, wanting to crush everything and wash away the world.
Wherever the gigantic sword tip passed by, even the void seemed to be split open by a huge crack. The sound of the sword whistling became dull and concentrated, vast and mighty like the beginning of a storm that was about to turn into an endless thunderstorm.
"It's the Wind and Thunder Sword Art!"
"This kind of sword intent must have cultivated the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique to mastery!"
"That surnamed Chen should not be able to block it anymore!"
"…"
Hearing the discussions, Jun Che's expression also changed and revealed a trace of worry.
"Su Lieh is actually so strong!" Jun Mingdao's expression also slightly changed. He had always been proud of himself and thought that he was not much weaker than Su Lieh. However, the strength that Su Lieh displayed now gave him an unreachable feeling. He could not help but feel a strong sense of defeat in his heart.
Facing such a sword force that was compatible with wind and thunder, Jun Mingdao felt that even if he used all his strength, he wouldn't be able to block it.
"Chen Yu isn't bad either, what's there to be afraid of?" On the other hand, the corners of Wu Wei's mouth curled up as she said this.
On the stage, Chen Yu did not pay any attention to the Wind and Thunder Sword Intent on Su Lieh's sword and suddenly took a step forward.
The surging true energy instantly contracted and fused with the blade aura.
Chen Yu's momentum was suddenly suppressed. Under Su Lieh's sword force, it started to lose its luster.
The next moment, Chen Yu's wave cleaver raised an arc, tearing through the void as an extremely sharp sword intent rose.
In an instant, the condensed Zhen Qi soared and the aura that he had just suppressed grew exponentially. In an instant, it was no weaker than Su Lieh, and it was even more powerful than Su Lieh's!
The saber light slashed through the void, advancing forwards with indomitable might. It was as though the only thing that remained in the world was this saber light, so sharp that it seemed as though it could slice apart everything in its path.
Chen Yu seemed to be standing straight at the top of a tide of anger, one slash to make the ocean surface calm and quiet, erasing everything in the world, this was the strongest blade intent in the Wave Chopping Blade Spell.
What was different from before was that this time, Chen Yu released his Saber Intent to its limit.
At the same time, the tip of the huge sword also fell down, slashing towards Chen Yu with a scream.
The blade and the sword clashed, both of them using their strongest moves, both of them using the concept of extreme sharpness.
Beside the Phoenix Battlestage, Hong Lei's eyelids jumped wildly. Even with the protection of the Astral Energy, he still felt a sense of fear.
Almost everyone below the arena involuntarily held their breath, their eyes unblinkingly watching the clash of swords and sabers on the stage. Some of the students with weaker cultivations felt a stinging pain in their eyes, trying their best to control not to blink their eyes, but this still led to tears in their eyes. Chen Yu and Su Lieh's sabre intent had yet to reach a point where it could not be solidified yet, but it had already become an existence that martial artists with lower cultivations could not directly look at.
The first arena had already turned into a whirlpool.
Boom! The fiery red astral energy, along with the scarlet-red, biting cyan zhenqi, ruthlessly collided with each other. It clashed against each other and was torn apart before exploding.
The space seemed to have collapsed as countless sharp True Qi released from the collision point of the blade and sword turned into Sword Qi, blowing up layer after layer of fine powder on the bluestone floor of the arena.
And this was only the beginning. After the clash of blades and swords, it was the clash of blade intent and sword intent. It was a clash of true equipment and strength, and all of this would determine the outcome of the battle, or even the outcome of life and death in an instant!
