Chapter 744: Intense Battle

Chapter 744: Intense Battle

First, Di Lin feigned weakness, causing Xiang Shaoyun to be complacent and underestimate his enemy. Then, he used himself to lure Xiang Shaoyun in before unleashing a fatal counterattack.

Xiang Shaoyun had truly not expected Di Lin to use himself as bait. He had truly fallen for the feign. Di Lin’s kicking techniques were no weaker than his palm techniques. Each time he swept his feet, he unleashed a mighty power and tried to defeat Xiang Shaoyun once and for all.

Xiang Shaoyun’s Goldplates had blocked many of Di Lin’s attacks, but this technique’s defensive prowess was, after all, limited. The shields were ultimately kicked apart, allowing the kick to strike Xiang Shaoyun’s flesh.

Withstanding Di Lin’s furious kicks, Xiang Shaoyun was filled with pain. Even so, he felt even more pain emotionally. Over the years, he had worked hard to reach as high a level in the shortest time possible so he could then return to the Ziling Sect and retake what once belonged to his family.

But now, due to his arrogance, he had underestimated his enemy, allowing Di Lin to humiliate him yet again. He couldn’t forgive himself. 

A commotion erupted among the crowd when they saw Di Lin suddenly gain the upper hand.

“Di Lin is finally using his real strength? He is truly worthy of being Elder Situ’s disciple. His combat prowess does not disappoint.” 

“Xiang Shaoyun is very strong, but he was too impatient and had given Di Lin a chance to counterattack. I’m afraid the result of this match is set.”

“This fight is really exciting. In my opinion, Xiang Shaoyun is losing because of his cultivation level. If he was a third-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator, the match would have ended long ago. What a pity.”

“If Xiang Shaoyun can even come back from this, he will earn my wholehearted respect.”

…

While everyone was busy discussing amongst themselves, Di Lin finally drew his weapon, preparing to deal the finishing blow. Abruptly, the weather changed. Black clouds gathered in the sky as numerous silver lightning bolts rained down.

There were more than 100 bolts of lightning, each of them incomparably terrifying. This much lightning was enough to destroy an entire region.

Rumble! Rumble!

The silver lightning bolts appeared so suddenly they caught everyone by surprise. Di Lin was similarly shocked. He was forced to push his defenses to his limits as he swung his sword repeatedly, trying to stop the incoming lightning bolts.

I almost forgot this bastard cultivates nine powers, Di Lin cursed inwardly.

After taking a beating from Di Lin, Xiang Shaoyun had gained a new realization. The humiliation taught him that he was still not qualified to feel pride and belittle any enemy. Only by killing this enemy would he be able to reclaim his dignity.

At that moment, he activated his lightning star, lightning bone, and the profundity of lightning, boosting the lightning bolts he summoned to a terrifying level of destructiveness.

The power of lightning had always possessed the highest offensive might. Although Xiang Shaoyun could only utilize lightning power with one star, that one star contained a high-tier lightning energy. Furthermore, his innate purple lightning also served to boost him. Lastly, he had comprehended the profundity of lightning. The true meaning of lightning was to destroy—to destroy everything.

The entire combination allowed Xiang Shaoyun to unleash lightning attacks that were far stronger than his flame attacks. After all, he was most proficient in lightning.

With the rain of lightning, not only had Xiang Shaoyun resolved his crisis, he had even placed Di Lin in a crisis. If it wasn’t for the protection provided by the armor Di Lin was wearing, the rain of lightning would have killed Di Lin.

The sudden change caused the crowd to gape. All of them were filled with disbelief at the notion that Xiang Shaoyun could actually turn the situation around so suddenly…and so violently.

They finally had a chance to witness just how terrifying a strength Xiang Shaoyun could erupt with. Those who had once offended Xiang Shaoyun and those who were envious of him were now filled with fear.

They imagined themselves facing this attack and concluded that they would immediately be bombarded into nothingness. And when they recalled how Xiang Shaoyun was only using one star to unleash such might, they couldn’t even begin to imagine how terrifying his attack would be if he used all nine of his stars.

Taking this opportunity, Xiang Shaoyun readjusted his stance. His Overlord Skyslaying Saber finally appeared as he roared, “Di Lin, you were once my closest brother. Today, I will personally end you, traitor.”

Lightning Slash From the Clear Sky!

As he swung his saber, one saber energy after another rained down on Di Lin, each powered by lightning. The crowd around the ring could only see an ocean of lightning, and two combatants were no longer visible.

Xia Yunxi, Situ Yan, and the Di Alliance felt their hearts constricting in suspense. There was no need to mention why they were so nervous. 

Amid the sea of lightning, Di Lin relied on his emperor-grade armor to withstand Xiang Shaoyun’s flurry of attacks. Even so, he still felt as if he was being cooked alive.

Saber wounds covered his four limbs, and blood gushed out unceasingly. There were a few times where the saber energies had even gotten dangerously near his neck. If it wasn’t for his instinctive dodging, his throat would have been sliced by now.

Ultimately, he was forced to push himself beyond his physique’s limits, unleashing a fiery eruption.

Sunset Dusk!

It was an attack he had unleashed through squeezing out the final bit of potential he had in his body. The attack was incredibly powerful, and it managed to obliterate the numerous lightning bolts around him.

Even Xiang Shaoyun was forced to retreat to the edge of the ring. A wound deep enough to show his bone appeared on his chest. Even after using Sunset Dusk, Di Lin had still failed to kill Xiang Shaoyun. His eyes were filled with disappointment.

He knew very well that the attack was capable of matching a peak Emperor. And yet Xiang Shaoyun had survived it, proving it would be very hard to truly defeat Xiang Shaoyun with his current strength.

Xiang Shaoyun did not care about the wound on his chest. Pointing at Di Lin with his saber, he said, “This ends here.”

As Xiang Shaoyun prepared to resume his attack, Di Lin quickly swallowed the Emperor Eruption Pill.

A malevolent expression appeared on his face as he said, “Yes, time to end this. Die, Xiang Shaoyun!”

His aura surged, and even the air around him started shaking. The crowd cried out in alarm when they noticed.

“What did Di Lin eat for his strength to suddenly rise like that?

“Is he attempting a breakthrough? No, that doesn’t seem to be the case.” 

“It’s the Emperor Eruption Pill! It’s definitely an Emperor Eruption Pill! Only a forbidden pill like that can allow an Emperor’s strength to rise rapidly. He is preparing to sacrifice everything!”

“If that is the case, Xiang Shaoyun is dead for sure.”
