What Jian Ping was worried about was that if Ye Yuan directly admitted defeat, then his plan would be dashed to pieces.
Xiahou Yun walked down the ring and went straight for Ye Yuan, saying with a faint smile, "Now, still want to challenge me?"
Ye Yuan did not answer, but he answered with a question: "You want to kill me?"
Xiahou Yun froze slightly and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Somewhat interesting! Looks like you're scared."
Ye Yuan said coolly, "It's Jian Ping, right?"
Xiahou Yun's gaze turned intent, finally becoming a little shocked.
How did this kid know?
Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly grinned and said, "Originally, I only wanted to have a battle with him. But … I changed my mind."
Xiahou Yun said, "Oh? Looks like you're planning on directly admitting defeat?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Murderers will be killed eventually! You should be prepared!"
The moment Xiahou Yun heard, he immediately laughed and said, "Huhu, are you joking with me? Do you think that by defeating Song Tianqiang that trash, you have the qualifications to pick a fight with me? You'll never know how great the disparity between you and me is!"
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said coolly, "You're thinking too highly of yourself."
Xiahou Yun smiled and said, "Brat, your mouth is very tough! I want to see what you'll use to come and kill me! The day after tomorrow, hope that you don't directly run away."
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Relax, even the Jade Emperor can't make me run away too!"
The two people, chiming in one after another, stunned everyone.
Ye Yuan actually threatened that he was going to kill Xiahou Yun!
"This kid is crazy, right? Didn't he see Xiahou Yun's punch just now?"
"His strength is strong, but it's also merely that fine thread higher than Song Tianqiang, right?"
"Really courageous! Xiahou Yun obliterated Gao Shun with one punch, and yet he actually still dared to provoke him."
"Tsk tsk, looks like the day after tomorrow, another genius is going to fall."
...
Regarding Ye Yuan's actions that were ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, it naturally aroused everyone's ridicule.
Ye Yuan and Song Tianqiang's fight clearly already reached the limit.
While Xiahou Yun's strength was clearly much higher than Ye Yuan's limit.
Someone who was able to challenge Xiahou Yun was only the second arena's Jiang Nan, right?
Old rules, three rounds of battle and ceasing, resting for a day's time.
Over there, Ning Tianping similarly made it through six rounds. Now, he was already a favorite to win the championship.
After the match, Jian Ping went to find Xiahou Yun straight away and said somewhat reproachfully, "You were too impulsive! This way, Ye Yuan will definitely avoid you and not fight!"
Xiahou Yun smiled and said, "Brother Jian Ping, he already knows."
Jian Ping's expression changed and he said, "W-What does he know?"
"Knows everything! This punk is rather interesting! I've never revealed killing intent in front of him before, but he detected it. Furthermore … he even guessed that you were behind it," Xiahou Yun said coolly.
Jian Ping's pupils constricted and he said in disbelief, "Are … Are you kidding me?"
Xiahou Yun said coolly, "Relax, Brother Jian Ping, not only does he not have the intention of avoiding the battle, he even threatened to kill me. Heh heh, this young master … is looking forward to it greatly!"
Chapter 1720 - Vanished Sword
"Heh heh, the guy who's courting death is here!"
"Tsk tsk, I really admire his courage, to actually threaten to kill Xiahou Yun!"
"Eh, this guy … seems to have broken through!"
"It's true, his aura is indeed much stronger! However … it's useless. His greatest reliance is his fleshy body. Martial arts breakthrough can't change any outcome."
...
When Ye Yuan came to the vicinity of the sixth ring, he immediately attracted a wave of ridicule.
Six rounds passed, and only eight people remained currently.
These eight people would battle to determine the final, first place.
At the Hundred Battles Arena, the second place did not have any meaning.
Only the person who got the first place could get the Profound Secrets Pavilion's grand elder's guidance.
Passing by Xiahou Yun, he smiled scornfully and said, "This is your final reliance? Huhu, what can a Third Firmament Divine Lord change?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "It's sufficient to kill you!"
Xiahou Yun burst into laughter and said, "Fine, then this young master will wait for you to come and … kill me!"
Seventh round, eight into four; Ye Yuan's opponent was a Fifth Firmament Divine Lord. He passed the round effortlessly.
Of course, Xiahou Yun was even more relaxed than he was. His opponent directly forfeited.
With Gao Shun's lesson, who still dared to find him to try their hand? Unless they were tired of living.
The eighth round was similarly like so!
Ye Yuan's strength was already the number one person apart from Xiahou Yun. Extreme Light Imperial City naturally had to put their fight at the last.
In the ninth round, Xiahou Yun and Ye Yuan finally faced off!
On the grandstands, Jian Ping was excited until his face flushed red. He seemed to have already seen the spectacle of Ye Yuan being blown up by Xiahou Yun with one punch.
Standing on the ring, Xiahou Yun smiled faintly and said, "Brat, I'm very curious how you're going to receive my punch!"
Done talking, Xiahou Yun performed a stance, exactly identical to when killing Gao Shun back then.
The atmosphere below the ring immediately became different. A strange aura practically made people suffocate.
Before this, the shock that this punch gave them was too intense.
What was different was that the punch before this, Xiahou Yun struck only after the enemy had struck.
But this time, he struck first to gain the initiative.
The moment was already formed, what followed was a destructive blow!
Bang!
A punch slammed out, the entire space seemed to be shattered.
An invisible force rumbled over towards Ye Yuan like blotting out the skies and covering the earth, the speed incomparably fast.
Bang!
The grand array behind Ye Yuan emitted gave off intense shaking. The entire ring seemingly started to quake.
Xiahou Yun's expression changed and he cried out in shock, "Spatial law, Third Firmament!"
Ye Yuan had never truly displayed the power of spatial law before in front of people.
Most people thought that Ye Yuan merely comprehended some superficial knowledge.
But in reality, he already comprehended Third Firmament spatial law.
This was a remarkable achievement!
Although destruction law was powerful, compared to spatial law, it was still a notch inferior.
The geniuses on the grandstands were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.
"A-Actually avoided it!"
"How … How did he do it?"
"Truly unimaginable! Is … Is this the true power of spatial law?"
...
Ye Yuan looked at Xiahou Yun and said coolly, "Destruction law is nothing more than this!"
Xiahou Yun's gaze turned intent, anger immediately rising in his heart.
He was actually looked down upon!
Comprehending destruction law, he grew up amidst praises and envious voices.
Today, he was actually despised by another person!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Stop posturing! Just now was merely an appetizer! Now, it's the real deal!"
Xiahou Yun's figure moved, floating over toward Ye Yuan, swift as lightning!
On the grandstands, someone cried out in shock, "L
aw of wind! Turns out that Xiahou Yun even comprehended rank four wind law! This guy is truly a freak!"
"Law of wind in conjunction with destruction law is simply sweeping forth ever-victorious!"
"Ye Yuan is in danger! He shouldn't have gone to provoke Xiahou Yun!"
...
Xiahou Yun's figure was extremely fast, punches throwing like the wind.
Waves of explosion sound emitted within the array formation. Space seemed to be smashed until it warped.
While Ye Yuan's entire figure disappeared.
People knew that Ye Yuan activated spatial law!
But the undulations coming from Xiahou Yun's attacks made each and every one of them turn deathly pale.
Such concentrated attacks, the ripples were much stronger than when killing Gao Shun back then.
Under the cooperation of wind law, Xiahou Yun's attacks virtually had no dead angles, covering all over the ring.
In everyone's view, Ye Yuan had nowhere to hide at all!
Suddenly, Xiahou Yun's attack stopped. The entire ring returned to tranquility.
Xiahou Yun panted a little. Such fierce attacks likewise had a considerable burden on him.
"Humph! So what if spatial law? See if you don't die still!" Xiahou Yun said with a cold snort.
On the ring, Ye Yuan's figure was already gone.
"Sure enough, Ye Yuan still died!"
"Under such horrifying attacks, how can he possibly survive?"
"Xiahou Yun is really too strong!"
...
In everyone's view, Ye Yuan had long been blasted to scraps already. Under such concentrated attacks, it was completely impossible for anyone to survive.
"Rather interesting. It's just too bad that it's still too weak!" A voice sounded out in thin air.
Xiahou Yun's expression changed drastically. Who was this if not Ye Yuan's voice?
This guy actually was not dead yet!
Only to see a hint of ripple surface in space. Ye Yuan's figure slowly walked out.
Everyone burst into an uproar!
Couldn't even die like this?
Was spatial law really overwhelmingly powerful?
Ye Yuan looked at Xiahou Yun and said coolly, "Wind law acting in concert with destruction law, indeed pretty good. It's just a pity that you can't even accomplish fusing laws!"
Xiahou Yun's expression changed and he said in a cold voice, "Stop pretending! Destruction is an ultimate level law, how can wanting to fuse it be that easy?"
Two independent laws and fusing laws, that power was completely different.
How could Xiahou Yun possibly not understand this point?
He had once attempted to fuse these two kinds of power of laws countless times. It was just a pity that … he could not do it!
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Is it really that difficult? Why don't you say that you're too dumb?"
Xiahou Yun sneered and said, "I'm dumb? Heh heh, this is really the funniest joke that I've heard before! These 3000 over people, who dares to say that their talent is greater than mine?"
Ye Yuan gave him a glance and said with a smile, "Can't even achieve fusing laws, aren't you dumb?"
Xiahou Yun spat: "Stop making sarcastic remarks, do you think that you're superior to others for comprehending spatial law? Or is it that you think that my strength merely stops here?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Bring it on then! This time, I'm going to attack too. You have to receive it well."
Xiahou Yun said indifferently, "A trash who only knows how to use spatial law to dodge, do you think that this young master will really be scared of you?"
While talking, Xiahou Yun slowly put on a white glove. It was shockingly a peak divine lord mystic treasure!
Immediately after, Xiahou Yun's aura skyrocketed. An aura that was even more horrifying than before spread out.
"Annihilation Divine Fist!"
Ye Yuan slowly pulled out the Junyi Sword, his entire person becoming illusory.
"Hang on, where's Ye Yuan's sword?"
"Yeah, I clearly saw him holding his sword in his hand just now, why is it gone?"
"This … Do you feel that Ye Yuan's entire person is somewhat surreal?"
Chapter 1721 - I Admit Defeat
Xiahou Yun's expression changed. A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
But the arrow was notched on the bow and already had no choice but to release!
"DIE!"
World power turned into an invisible fist force, striking until space distorted.
Right at this time, Ye Yuan moved as well.
"Misty Sword Art … Spirit Concealing Sword!"
This sword move was Ye Yuan's strongest move after he comprehended Third Firmament spatial law and merged Sword Dao laws.
It was only to see his figure move turning into an afterimage and pouncing straight for Xiahou Yun!
Swish!
No earth-shattering collision sound. People only heard a subtle noise.
The battle came to an abrupt end!
Quicker than words could tell.
Actually, it was just that blink of an eye. The two people separated upon contact.
Ye Yuan put away the sword and stood there, the Junyi Sword revealed itself once more.
"This … Who won?"
"Don't know, too fast! I didn't see clearly!"
"What a strange fight!"
...
Everyone looked at the two motionless people on the ring. All of them were struck senseless.
The judge had a shocked look and did not come back to his senses for a long while.
The sword earlier was too stunning!
Those geniuses were all very weak. Not perceiving it was very normal.
But he, an Eighth Firmament Divine Lord powerhouse, naturally saw clearly at a glance!
The beauty of Ye Yuan's sword was fleeting.
Passing quickly in an instant, but gorgeous and eternal.
One sword emerging, directly breached Xiahou Yun's fist force, and kiledl Xiahou Yun!"
The judge said in a solemn voice, "Ye Yuan wins, Xiahou Yun is defeated and dead!"
"What? Dead?" On the grandstands, a series of exclamations immediately came over.
Right then, Xiahou Yun's body suddenly split into two from the center, toppling onto the ground stiffly.
Xiahou Yun was actually cleaved into two. But because Ye Yuan's sword was too fast, he maintained a standing posture all along. Others simply could not discover it.
Everyone looked at this scene in shock. Sixth Firmament Divine Lord, the Xiahou Yun who comprehended the law of wind and destruction law was actually killed by Ye Yuan with one sword!
Those people who were still mocking Ye Yuan for overestimating his ability previously all opened their mouths wide right now.
Only now did they understand that he was not posturing. He was actually really amazing!
A Third Firmament Divine Lord actually killed the Sixth Firmament Divine Lord Xiahou Yun with one sword. This achievement was too dazzling.
Not far away, two figures coincidentally bumped into each other.
"Eh? You came too? Looks like you pay a lot of attention to Xiahou Yun!" Jiang Nan looked at Mo Fei who walked over from the fourth arena as he said with a lazy look.
Mo Fei was the other Sixth Firmament Divine Lord genius.
Mo Fei gave Jiang Nan a glance and said, "Aren't you the same too?"
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "Heh heh, you're a little weak. The Hundred Battles Arena this time, the one who can arouse my interest is also just Xiahou Yun."
Mo Fei's expression turned cold. Jiang Nan laughed and waved his hand as he said, "Haha, if you have the strength, use it in the ring. It's boring to hit me right now. Since we ran into each other, go and take a look together."
Mo Fei shot Jiang Nan a glare, snorted coldly, and walked over towards the sixth arena.
"Eh? Already ended? Looks like Xiahou Yun indeed did not encounter any decent opponent … mn?"
> Jiang Nan's words were said halfway when his expression suddenly changed, that lazy manner was swept clean.
Because he saw the corpse that was currently being dragged away by people on the ring.
Mo Fei similarly trembled all over and said in disbelief, "D-Dead? The Hundred Battles Arena this time, there's actually someone who can kill Xiahou Yun?"
"Heh heh, looks like a remarkable fellow appeared this time!" Jiang Nan said.
Mo Fei looked towards Jiang Nan and said doubtfully, "Could it be that a powerful Fifth Firmament Divine Lord appeared this time? But I didn't hear about it!"
At this time, Jiang Nan returned to that lazy manner and said with a smile, "We will know who it is tomorrow."
...
On the second day, all seats were occupied at the martial arts field.
Compared to the group stage previously, today's final battle was the highlight.
Not just because those selected were experts among experts, but also because this session determined who would get the Profound Secrets Pavilion Lord's guidance.
The eight winners lined up on the first arena. But the other six people's gazes looked over towards that young man in the sixth position.
There was still one person left who had an expression like it was logical and natural. That person was naturally Ning Tianping.
Ning Tianping finally surmounted numerous difficulties and still obtained a spot in the end.
At that moment, he was filled with lofty sentiments!
It was not long before that he was also a genius; however, he was merely a bottom-most tier genius even though still part of the imperial city's level.
But now, he could already stand out among the geniuses of several hundred imperial cities and become a winner.
As for Ye Yuan obtaining a seat, that was something that went without saying.
So what if the opponent is a Sixth Firmament Divine Lord? It was not enough to look at in front of His Excellency at all.
But in other people's view, it was totally not the case.
Especially Jiang Nan and Mo Fei, when they saw Ye Yuan, they were shocked until their jaws almost fell off.
A Third Firmament Divine Lord!
The one who killed Xiahou Yun was actually a Third Firmament Divine Lord!
Yesterday, they had thought of countless possibilities but never could have they thought that it was a Third Firmament Divine Lord.
