Seeing Zhou Yi take the stage, the people around the arena were momentarily rendered speechless by his terrifying Star Power, but their eyes were filled with intense excitement! Check latest chapters at novel·fıre·net
As for Meng Zhaojun, Bai Jianhang, and others still in the arena, they understood what was about to happen and all instinctively flew back, leaving the field for the duel.
Teng Jinghua, being the catalyst, naturally retreated as well.
On the northern platform, Lin Yong slightly frowned, feeling that the development of events was somewhat out of control, as if everything was following the pace set by the Qingming Palace Master.
However, Cao Yuanzheng also wanted to see the methods of this Qingming Palace Master, so Zhou Yi stepping forward was just right.
As for the possibility of Zhou Yi losing the duel...
Not to mention that Zhou Yi, as the Yin Yang Sect Master, is a Chongyang Realm expert, skilled in the Dao of Water and Fire Yin Yang, with formidable strength.
Moreover, with us here watching, even if Zhou Yi truly loses, his safety is assured!
Upon receiving a sign from Cao Yuanzheng, the arrays around the arena rose, instantly bringing Su Yuan and Zhou Yi into the Competition Space.
As the two entered the Competition Space, the many spectators around the arena also recovered from Zhou Yi’s Star Power suppression and exclaimed excitedly.
"The fight is really going to happen, Qingming Palace Master versus Yin Yang Sect’s Zhou Yi!"
Not to mention the ordinary cultivators, even the Burning Sun experts on various high platforms became fully attentive and intrigued.
One is the Yin Yang Sect Master, a veteran Chongyang Realm expert, unmatched in the Western Desert save for the other three major sects’ powerhouses;
The other is the mysterious Qingming Palace Master who, over just a few days, integrated the coast after slaying the Fierce Battle Gang’s leader!
This clash is more thrilling than personal participation.
As for who’s stronger... that depends on what skills this Qingming Palace Master Su wields!
In the Competition Space, Zhou Yi’s gaze was filled with cold light as he said in a deep voice, "I didn’t expect you to dare come here, such audacity!"
"Didn’t expect?" Su Yuan slightly shook his head, appearing indifferent, "There are many things you can’t expect..."
Killing intent shot from Zhou Yi’s eyes as he was about to say something more.
But Su Yuan had already raised his hand, tearing fiercely forward!
Zhou Yi’s pupils contracted as water and fire light suddenly surged around his body.
The next moment, black light ravaged, and a vast diameter of hundreds of meters of void twisted and collapsed, abruptly tearing, engulfing Zhou Yi within!
"This space skill? Such a terrifying strike with a casual hit!"
Seeing Su Yuan’s swift move, the twisted and broken void amazed the spectators outside.
"Could Master Zhou have been instantly defeated?"
"Probably not, although this move is strong, the Yin Yang Sect Master wouldn’t be defeated so easily, he is a Chongyang Realm master after all!"
A few breaths later, from the twisted, torn void, a beam of water and fire light shot out in reverse, re-revealing Zhou Yi’s form.
Looking at the fine scratches on his arm, Zhou Yi’s eyes narrowed.
Although the opponent attacked suddenly, to be able to so easily tear through his resilient Water and Fire Defense as an Early Sun Realm cultivator? Slaying Yu Feng and countering Cao Yuanzheng, this person really isn’t simple!
Thoughts swiftly spun through Zhou Yi’s mind, when suddenly, his vision blurred; before him, Su Yuan had suddenly vanished.
"To engage with me, you must be fully concentrated..."
An unruffled voice came from behind—Su Yuan had already instantaneously moved, wielding the Demon Saber, slashing it down!
Though startled, Zhou Yi remained calm, flicking his sleeve as a folding fan fell into his hand, turning to block behind him.
The sword and fan met, with water light flowing on the fan, Zhou Yi only slightly eased and withstood Su Yuan’s strike.
"Oh?" Su Yuan’s eyes slightly moved.
Bear in mind, with Su Yuan’s current strength, he is equivalent to the power-specializing Chongyang Realm Yu Feng.
Yet Zhou Yi, clearly more adept at magic, managed to parry hastily without retreating a step.
Su Yuan’s gaze landed on the surface of the folding fan, with a layer of water light flowing there, dispersing much of his strength.
Sword Intent surged in Su Yuan’s eyes as Void Sword Qi suddenly enveloped the sword, and with Su Yuan exerting force once again, it slashed violently out!
Zhou Yi’s complexion changed slightly, directly repelled by the Void Sword Qi and sent flying hundreds of meters back, ultimately crashing into a stone wall within the Competition Space.
With a soft groan, Zhou Yi swiftly steadied himself, water and fire swirling around him, appearing rather disheveled but not seriously injured.
"This Su Yuan, already at the Early Sun Limit, with both strength and Star Power far exceeding his level, also adept in space skills!"
At this moment, Zhou Yi’s eyes were filled with surprise and doubt, not expecting such a strong Early Sun Level individual.
Though at the Early Sun level, he was essentially no different from people like us!
And now, the indifferently expressioned, silver-eyed youth ahead was already wielding his sword and leaping to attack again.
Zhou Yi raised his hand to form a seal and suddenly pointed at Su Yuan.
"Return to the Sea Abyss!"
The surrounding space trembled slightly, and then waves tens of feet high surged from both sides towards Su Yuan in the middle!
These waters were not simple; their impact was like ten thousand pounds of force, even difficult for someone at the Chongyang Level to withstand!
However, this water, when falling on Su Yuan, was also blocked by the Infinite Power.
After all, no matter how heavy the water, it couldn’t instantly bridge the infinitely stretched distance.
Although it couldn’t crush Su Yuan, it did block his path.
Seeing the way ahead about to be blocked by water, all 365 stars on Su Yuan’s body lit up, and the Star Dominator unfolded. He raised his hand, and a Void Sword Qi enhanced by starlight slashed forward!
The black-and-silver Void Sword Qi split the sea and cut through the currents, instantly tearing open a path.
Su Yuan’s figure flickered as he followed through, rushing close to Zhou Yi and swinging his sword down!
Zhou Yi felt Su Yuan’s challenge and quickly formed a seal with both hands!
"Liangyi Balance Heaven Shape!"
Zhou Yi shouted furiously, and the water and fire light in his eyes flourished. Suddenly, an immensely dazzling black and white spiritual light burst out, pushing Su Yuan, who had just advanced, away!
Su Yuan steadied himself, looked at the black and white spiritual light ahead, feeling an astounding and powerful aura emanating from within!
Soon, the black and white spiritual light dissipated, revealing Zhou Yi’s figure again.
Zhou Yi’s entire skin was covered in blood vessel-like black and white lines, with a slowly rotating Water and Fire Yin Yang Diagram behind him, quite mystical.
The previously overwhelming aura had instantly collected, no longer escaping, as if achieving a balance within itself!
Witnessing Zhou Yi’s drastically changed appearance, the arena broke into discussions.
On the eastern high platform, Lu Feng, leader of the Chasing Wind Sect—a second-rate force—had a solemn expression: "Liangyi Balance Heaven Shape!"
"Balance Heaven Shape?" Luo He, leader of the Shahe Valley, was shocked, suddenly remembering, "Isn’t this the legendary skill Zhou Yi used twenty years ago to crush the rising Six Harmonies Gang?"
Lu Feng replied in a deep voice, "Yes, the new Chongyang couldn’t match the old guard Chongyang, with the Six Harmonies Gang leader being killed by Zhou Yi’s Balance Heaven Shape, and the Six Harmonies Gang vanishing overnight like a fleeting moment."
Recalling the Six Harmonies Gang from twenty years ago, Luo He felt a chill, turning his gaze back to Su Yuan in the arena space.
"I wonder if this Qingming Palace Master and his Qingming Palace will repeat the Six Harmonies Gang’s fate..."
Not only Lu Feng but various experts on other high platforms also showed changing expressions, evidently knowing Zhou Yi’s move.
Even Lin Yong’s expression was tense: "Is the pressure from Su Yuan on Zhou Yi so immense that he used this move so quickly?"
"A Sword Cultivator in close proximity naturally poses a significant threat to Zhou Yi, who excels in magic..." Cao Yuanzheng squinted, watching Su Yuan closely, "Now, it’s up to him to respond!"
In the arena space, Su Yuan looked at Zhou Yi, who had activated his transformation skill, and his eyes brightened.
"Finally, some real skill."
Su Yuan’s eyes sparkled, raising the Demon Saber, and launched several Void Sword Qi slashes!
Zhou Yi sneered, stretched out his left hand, grabbing the sword qi.
The Yin Yang Diagram rotated slowly behind him, and the dark sword qi merely struggled briefly before being abruptly absorbed by Zhou Yi.
Then, Zhou Yi pointed his right hand, and the recently absorbed Void Sword Qi shot from his fingertips, slashing towards Su Yuan!
"Oh?" Witnessing this, Su Yuan focused on the rotating Yin Yang Diagram behind Zhou Yi, "Absorb and release? Quite an intriguing ability!"
Silver light flashed on Su Yuan, and with an Instant Teleportation, he bypassed the incoming sword qi, speeding up to Zhou Yi, and swung a fierce sword down!
Zhou Yi made a virtual grip with his right hand, and amidst the flashing black and white spirit light, a Yin Yang Blade appeared in his hand to meet Su Yuan’s Demon Saber!
Su Yuan had already unleashed the Star Dominator, enhancing his strength significantly.
But at the instant of the sword clash, Su Yuan immediately felt that his strength was forcibly "borrowed" by the opponent.
"Not just energy absorption, but also borrowing force to counterattack, absorbing strength?"
Su Yuan’s eyes focused slightly, continuously swinging his longsword as they transformed into shadows that engaged in rapid combat within the arena.
The dense sound of weapons clashing filled the space, as the rapidly escalating water and fire power and sharp Void Sword Qi constantly erupted all around.
This level of combat caused the competition space, which could withstand a Burning Sun battle, to tremble intensely!
Within moments, Su Yuan and Zhou Yi had already exchanged four to fifty rounds of high-speed clashes.
Outside, apart from some experts, most couldn’t see their figures at all, only a sky full of explosive spirit light!
After a heavy exchange, a wave of energy erupted, and the two entangled fighters finally separated from each other.
Su Yuan waved his left hand, and the Heavenly Lock hidden in void space suddenly attacked from all around Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, flipped his hand, and took out a folding fan, the spirit light flashed on it, dispersing into seven fan bones that scattered towards the numerous golden chains shooting their way, blocking them all!
Then Zhou Yi dispelled his longsword, opened his hands wide, and two astonishing waves rapidly spread out.
One fire and one water, two highly compressed energy spheres appeared instantly in his palms, their terrifying energy waves nearly rivaling the Dragon Flash!
And that’s not all; Zhou Yi grinned fiercely, his hands converging as he directly pressed the two energy spheres together!
