Chapter 1181: The One Going Down is You

Huang Yun laughed maniacally and soared into the air, intending to chop down and knock Xiao Chen off the arena.

“Sorry, the one going down is you.”

After backing up twelve steps, Xiao Chen already raised the Great Perfection Thunder Dragon Steps to its peak. If he wanted to go further and move eighteen steps, he had to practice the Thunder Dragon Steps to Consummation first.

Twelve steps. The accumulated energy would burst forth with the Thunder Dragon Chop. Xiao Chen himself did not know how powerful this would be, for he had taken only seven steps at most before.

However, he was certain that the Thunder Dragon Chop launched with twelve steps would definitely be able to defeat this Blood Dyeing the World.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen, who had been retreating, suddenly took one step forward right when Huang Yun soared into the air.

With this step, Xiao Chen instantly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. The accumulated force burst forth with the Thunder Dragon Chop.

Thunderclouds covered the sky, looking like an ancient lightning dragon awakening and roaring. The lightning bolts that descended forced the impudent scarlet clouds away.

A strange expression appeared on Huang Yun’s face. However, he did not have much time to think. Along with tens of thousands of lightning bolts, the white figure was already charging at him with his saber.

“Clang!”

The saber lights clashed. Xiao Chen knocked back Huang Yun with his attack. Although he had initially retreated twelve steps, when he stopped, he knocked back Huang Yun with one step.

However, this was not over. The place where Xiao Chen landed happened to be the same place he had been earlier. When his feet touched the floor again, an electric dragon soared up from underfoot.

An explosion of electric light, a figure like a berserk dragon!

Xiao Chen moved forward step by step. His speed was ten percent faster than when he had been backing up. With each step, electric dragons soared up from underfoot, roaring towards the sky and sending lightning streaking down relentlessly.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps…

Xiao Chen took twelve steps in rapid succession. With each step, the number of electric dragons more than doubled. By the time he completed the twelve steps, he had lost track of how many electric dragons were around him.

The lightning bolts plunging from the sky became even more horrifying. They shredded the scarlet clouds in the scarlet-dyed sky, a cruel sight to behold.

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, and the swarm of dragons descended to the ground, not taking any further action.

As for Huang Yun, who had arrogantly ordered Xiao Chen to get off, the attack riddled him with wounds, sending him tumbling across the floor, and he fell off the arena with a charred body.

Everyone saw the rolling Huang Yun defeated by Xiao Chen, an entirely unexpected outcome.

Lightning descended, and the dragons went far away. Xiao Chen stood upright while holding his saber. Then, he swept his gaze across and fixed it on the Human-Demon Sea’s Mo Ran—his choice for his second opponent.

For some reason, Sima Lingxuan, who had wanted to be chosen first, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Chen’s gaze slide away from him. His reaction startled him. He immediately eradicated this thought, and a strong fighting spirit blazed in him again.

The selected Mo Ran laughed loudly as he landed on the arena.

Mo Ran’s eyes brimmed with ambition as he looked at Xiao Chen. “I thought that you would choose me last. Unexpectedly, you chose me second. You probably do not know how strong my physical defense is.”

When Xiao Chen heard that, he could not help revealing an interested expression. “No matter how horrifying, how strong the defense is, it can’t stop an endless attack.”

“Is that so? In that case, feel free to give it a try!”

Mo Ran smiled coldly, and his skin, which gave off a metallic sheen, started changing rapidly. Soon, his skin no longer looked like flesh and blood but tough metal.

His entire body turned into metal, completely devoid of flesh and blood—and quite bizarre.

Human-Demon mixed-bloods always had something different about their body, causing others to feel it was extremely strange.

Mo Ran suddenly stopped, and countless cracks immediately appeared on the floor as it shook intensely. With this movement, it seemed like a mountain raging, causing the sky to shake and the ground to tremble.

After stomping, Mo Ran looked mockingly at Xiao Chen, showing no fear.

Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed. His opponent’s skin had already transformed into metal. Moreover, he cultivated some kind of special Body Tempering Cultivation Technique, which made his metallic body even tougher.

In regard to the physical body, this person’s body was already no weaker than Xiao Chen’s Azure Dragon War Body. In regard to defense, it might even be slightly stronger—this was the natural advantage bequeathed by bloodline.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps…

Xiao Chen took seven steps. As electric dragons soared up, he sent out a Thunder Dragon Chop with a vast aura.

Mo Ran knew that this move was very strong. So he did not intend to clash head-on. He formed hand seals and executed a defensive Martial Technique, focusing entirely on defense.

“Dang!”

The Thunder Dragon Chop tore apart Mo Ran’s defense. However, its might weakened significantly before striking Mo Ran. A metallic sound rang out, but there was no change to his skin.

The might of seven steps was not enough. Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and took twelve steps, repeating the move that sent Huang Yun off the arena.

However, Mo Ran had seen this move before and deeply understood its might. He did not think of breaking it or clashing head-on. He only drew out all his potential and focused it all on defense.

“Ka ca!”

The defensive barrier broke once again, and the saber light struck Mo Ran’s body, forcing him back step by step and creating a constant stream of sparks on his body.

However, this move still did not severely injure the other party.

Mo Ran smiled faintly, and with the wave of his hand, he knocked away Xiao Chen’s saber. When he tried to grab the blade, Xiao Chen quickly pulled it back.

Mo Ran failed to catch the saber, but he was not in a rush. He smiled and said, “It is useless. Unless you can perfectly execute a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique, you will not be able to break through my defense.”

“Unexpectedly, he is the one who hid his strength the deepest. To think that his defense is actually so ridiculous.”

“It is indeed very ridiculous. If Xiao Chen had not appeared and the matches continued, he might have ended up the champion. This defense is just too strong.”

“Even the Martial Technique that Xiao Chen used to defeat Huang Yun could not do anything to Mo Ran. I simply can’t think of any way to break his defense.”

The crowd had already seen Mo Ran’s ridiculous defense earlier. Earlier, Jiang Feng had executed a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique and still failed to break his defense.

However, it was only now, when Xiao Chen’s Thunder Dragon Chop failed to break the defense of his physical body, that everyone felt horror over it.

This physical body seemed to be somewhat problematic. Do I have to use Instant of Glory?”

Xiao Chen’s figure drifted off the ground as he watched the spark-covered Mo Ran. He entered deep thought. Since his physical body is so strong, why is he just standing there and letting me hit him?

Xiao Chen remained extremely calm. He did not lose his ability to think because of his opponent’s taunts.

This was because Xiao Chen was very clear that deliberate mockery also played a role in battle.

Mo Ran had mocked him from the very start, saying that his defense was unbreakable. Could that be part of his strategy?

The purpose was to get Xiao Chen to attack continuously. After he became tired, Mo Ran would finish the battle in one blow.

If that was the case, then Mo Ran’s physical body should have a weakness. Otherwise, with such a strong physical body, he should not fear Xiao Chen’s Martial Techniques but just give chase to attack.

This fellow definitely has a weakness!

“It looks like the White Robed Bladesman does not live up to his reputation. Is that all you are capable of?”

Mo Ran’s lips curled up slightly as he continued his taunts. He moved forward step by step, getting closer.

However, Xiao Chen was completely immune to Mo Ran’s mockery. It just confirmed that there was a weakness in the other party’s physical body.

That’s it!

A sudden thought struck Xiao Chen as he looked at Mo Ran’s feet. This fellow’s feet have never left the ground from the very start.

Mo Ran always kept at least one foot on the ground. On closer look, his actions seemed to be in compliance with some kind of law, a kind of cycle of being one with nature.

If that was so, his strongest defensive state could be used only with his two feet on the ground.

If not, Mo Ran had to have some kind of treasure similar to Xiao Chen’s Sea Monarch’s Crown, where the water domain could be executed only when standing on water.

When Mo Ran’s feet left the ground, that strong defensive state would be impossible.

“What’s wrong? Ready to admit your defeat? If you admit your defeat now, I can let you leave with some dignity. Otherwise, however you made Huang Yun fall out, I will do the same to you!”

Mo Ran’s killing Qi condensed suddenly and pressed towards Xiao Chen.

The exposed skin flickered with dazzling light, a visual assault. This was a metal body that made others despair.

“You want me to admit defeat?”

Xiao Chen smiled faintly as he continued calmly, “You are the one that cannot keep pretending, right? However Huang Yun went down, you will as well. Get down!”

“Chi!”

The Lunar Shadow Saber flipped over in Xiao Chen’s hand. Then, he stabbed it into the floor. When Mo Ran saw this, his expression changed drastically. action

However, it was already too late. The instant the saber stabbed into the platform, Xiao Chen’s Law Energy poured wildly into the floor.

The floor promptly cracked, and a strong force burst out of it. The shattered platform turned into countless rocks tossed up into the air.

Bearing the brunt of the attack, Mo Ran went flying together with the rocks under his feet.

“Whoosh!”

In the thousandth of a second after Mo Ran was airborne, a saber light resembling a flawless, bright moon flashed. Speed had never been his strength, so he had no way to dodge.

Xiao Chen’s seventy-percent-comprehended saber soul accompanied this strand of saber light.

This move was Flawless Bright Moon. Although it was swift, with the infusion of the seventy-percent-comprehended lightning saber soul, its might was not low at all.

In sharpness, it even surpassed the earlier Thunder Dragon Chop.

“Ka ca!” As the saber light flashed, Mo Ran let out a shrill, agonized scream. A long, bloody wound appeared, right down his chest.

Blood kept spurting from the wound on Mo Ran’s chest, splattering a bloody trail on the floor as he went flying back wildly.

Mo Ran landed on one foot at the edge of the arena. His body wobbled, but the attack did not send him flying off the platform.

“How did you discover it?!” Mo Ran appeared extremely shocked as he clutched his wound with one hand. Unexpectedly, his biggest secret was exposed after just a few exchanges with Xiao Chen.

At this point, the victor was already decided. So, Xiao Chen did not hold back on the answer, replying honestly, “Next time, there is no need to speak so much in a fight. You went overboard in your pretense of confidence, exposing your lack of it.”
