Chapter 1011 The momentum was thunderous, and the entire arena fell silent.
Chapter 1011 The momentum was thunderous, and the entire arena fell silent.
boom!
The cold, withered aura of the soul was completely dispersed, vanishing in an instant as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
In mid-air, sensing the powerful aura of the divine soul, the Black Crow Old Monster looked down with slight surprise.
He saw a young figure appear in front of Gu Zhengnan, his gaze indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
Old Monster Black Crow's gaze turned cold, and he spoke in a deep voice.
Who are you?
"Wild Blade"
Gu Yueqianfang looked solemn. He stood in mid-air beside the Black Crow Old Monster, his eyes filled with unspeakable hatred.
In the battle of Beishan in the past, Mang Dao killed the young master right in front of him.
Although he was spared confinement due to his past merits, his reputation within the family plummeted. He has come here now to atone for his past mistakes, also because of what happened that day.
He looked at the Black Crow Old Monster beside him, and an unspeakable hatred welled up in his heart.
"Kill him"
A murderous glint appeared in his eyes as he deliberately concealed his identity as Mang Dao.
With Black Crow's background, he should have been able to figure out the other party's identity after a little thought, but he deliberately concealed it, gambling on that one in ten thousand chance.
If the Black Crow Old Monster truly loses his mind in his ecstasy, then by some chance, he might kill the Savage Blade.
Then
Gu Yueqian's thoughts were in turmoil, and the situation on the field was constantly changing.
Chen Ping'an's gaze remained calm, ignoring the Black Crow Taoist in the sky, and he simply watched Gu Zhengnan quietly.
Only after Gu Zhengnan answered with a "good" did he slowly raise his eyes to look at the Black Crow Old Monster who was coldly looking down from the sky.
"Are you going to come down yourself, or should I ask you to come down?"
Chen Ping'an's voice was calm, but his tone carried an indescribable warmth.
"what?"
"This"
The crowd erupted in uproar; clearly, no one had expected Chen Ping'an to react this way.
Shen Linyuan sat at a distance, somewhat taken aback by Chen Ping'an's reaction.
Min Xiaolin, Zhang Tianyuan, and the rest of the Zhenfu Division were stunned, staring at the scene unfolding before them.
Black Rock Old Monster sat down next to Red Peak Master, looking at the young man in the distance with a look of astonishment and disbelief.
He vaguely seemed to see the figure from the Azure Dragon Banquet.
At that time, the other party's reaction was already unbelievable to him.
But now.
A celestial being at the peak of his power, having reached the second realm of perfection.
The impact of Chen Ping'an's words was even more profound.
"You have quite the nerve."
The Black Crow Old Monster's gaze was icy, devoid of any warmth.
“Even Gu Tianren wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous with me. How dare you, a mere ordinary celestial being who hasn’t even set foot in the first or second realm, do this? It seems that since I haven’t been out and about for so long, even the most insignificant cats and dogs dare to come out and cause trouble.”
Whoosh!
As he spoke, the Black Crow Monster's body surged with black energy, and amidst the rolling black waves, thousands of crows cried out, and illusory images kept appearing, staining half the sky.
"What a powerful breath."
Many of the celestial beings present changed their expressions.
"Perfected in the Second Realm! Truly perfected in the Second Realm!"
"This brute knife"
Despite the terrifying scene, Chen Ping'an remained calm as he gently drew the sword from his waist.
"It seems you've made your choice."
Sensing the divine soul aura of that mere Pivot Light level cultivator, the Black Crow Old Monster's expression was playful, revealing disdain. Although the opponent's divine soul foundation was quite solid, compared to his own, it was undoubtedly worlds apart.
He sneered, "It seems the Gu family has truly fallen on hard times. Gu Tianren has become a coward, letting others take the lead!"
By this point, he had a vague idea of the other party's identity, but he didn't care.
Some things, once the identity is revealed, become difficult to handle afterwards, given the established system. But if one remains unaware, then...
"Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Black Crow sneered inwardly: "Let me show you what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level to reach!"
hum~
Amidst the pitch-black, rolling waves, a faint crimson light suddenly appeared. The light was weak, but it carried a chilling, bone-deep aura.
It looked like a drop of blood that hadn't dried, hanging in mid-air.
One drop, two drops, then a third drop, a fourth drop.
Streaks of blood-red light appeared, not still, but as if breathing, flickering in the thick ink.
Swish!
In an instant, the blood-red light intensified, and only then did people realize that these were not blood beads at all, but clearly pairs of blood-red eyes.
"Gaga. Gaga"
A series of rough, hoarse sounds, like rusty saw blades rubbing against bones, sent chills down one's spine as black mist billowed from all directions.
"Here it comes, the Blood Raven Technique!"
During the grand ceremony, someone was moved and summoned the Black Crow Monster's signature technique.
Splash! Splash!
Amidst countless swooping sounds, the blood crows swooped down, their rough cries creating a surging wave.
Such a display of power would make even an ordinary second-realm cultivator's scalp tingle, but in the face of it, Chen Ping'an only swung his sword once.
This strike was delivered using the refined and enhanced Heavenly Meteor Frost Soul Blade.
This is also the first strike of the Heavenly Meteor Frost Blade after it was upgraded to a top-grade treasure.
then
The blade flashed brilliantly, like the sun piercing a rainbow.
The whole world is quiet now.
Rumble~
Lightning flashed and lightning danced wildly as countless blood crows swooped down, vanishing amidst the terrifying blade's power. The black energy surged back, instantly splitting in two, and a terrifying blade of light, carrying immense power, slashed directly at the Black Crow Monster in mid-air.
The Black Crow Old Monster, who had been sneering with amusement a moment ago, suddenly froze completely.
Pong!
Amidst the terrifying surge, a terrifying explosion erupted. The violent tremor caused the heavens and earth within a radius of dozens of miles to shake, and the lake water churned, splashing up countless waves.
Whoosh!
Black energy surged, and several hundred feet away from the blade's edge, the figure of the Black Crow Monster suddenly appeared.
His body was covered in black feathers, standing upright with jagged edges, like a piece of black raven feathers.
"What kind of knife is this?!"
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Whoosh!
Gu Yueqianfang's dark robes billowed, his disheveled hair cascading down as he appeared in a sorry state amidst the shockwave.
"It's even stronger than before!"
He looked horrified, feeling the sharp blade energy from all sides, and a chill ran down his spine.
How could so much have changed in such a short time?!
If on that day, he unleashed a secret technique, revealing the power to suppress a seasoned second-stage expert. But today, with just one strike, he displayed the aura of a perfect second-stage expert.
Furthermore, the chilling aura mixed within the crisscrossing sword intent greatly amplifies the power of the sword technique.
"This" rumbled~
Before Gu Yueqian could even think, that terrifying blade struck down again. The booming sound reached the sky.
Even though the blade's edge wasn't aimed at him, the sheer force of the wave and the sharp blade energy still caused Gu Yueqian to cry out in pain and fall.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang out, as if the entire sky were being sliced apart. The chilling aura was almost tangible, causing one's soul to sting and a sense of unease to creep in.
The Black Crow Monster was covered in black feathers, with thousands upon thousands of feathers standing upright, like a wing soaring through the sky.
He wanted to catch his breath, adjust his offensive rhythm, and turn the tide. But his opponent's blade strikes were too terrifying, making it impossible for him to catch his breath.
In his haste, he barely managed to activate a black light shuttle and send it hurtling towards his opponent.
This feather shuttle is one of his most treasured protective artifacts. It possesses extremely fast speed, often catching people off guard and achieving remarkable results.
At first, just as he expected, the black feather shuttle passed through the gaps in the blade light and headed straight for his opponent.
But before he could even feel happy, the black light shuttle was slashed down by a terrifying blade, which shocked him.
"How is this possible?" His eyes widened in horror, and his chest heaved with rage.
This black light shuttle was his most treasured protective artifact, and even though it was severed, it still caused him such a state. In this situation, there is only one possibility: the black light shuttle's spiritual essence was damaged during the slash.
The black feathered shuttle was connected to his mind and spirit; only a severe injury could affect his mind and spirit.
He forcefully suppressed the surging blood in his chest and hastily took out a Black Bone Spirit Pill. The moment the pill appeared, he swallowed it without hesitation.
Just as he was taking the medicine, a blade of light slammed down. He narrowly dodged it, barely managing to graz the edge.
As the pill entered his stomach, the Black Crow Old Monster's aura changed. Mysterious black patterns appeared on his body, and his face was covered with dense, scorpion-like lines.
In an instant, the Black Crow Monster's aura became eerie and profound.
The blade strike that he had initially barely managed to dodge suddenly became much easier for him.
"Soul-Binding Lock!"
He gently raised his hand, and a black, rusty ancient lock, about the size of a palm, appeared in his hand.
The ancient lock is made of jet black, like a pool of unfathomable black water, with mottled rust on it, giving this pool of black water a slight imperfection.
"Bind!"
With a light squeeze of one hand, the Black Crow Old Monster caused the Black Rust Ancient Lock to suddenly swell. Countless soul chains emerged from the lock's eye, striking Chen Ping'an with pinpoint accuracy.
"Ok?"
Chen Ping'an's eyes showed surprise; he hadn't expected that the Black Crow Old Monster had such methods.
This ancient, rusty lock may appear ordinary in quality, but its effects are quite rare. It is a powerful treasure that works on the soul.
It seems that after a brief battle, Old Monster Black Crow has figured out some tricks and knows how to deal with him.
These renowned figures, who have been famous for many years, are truly not to be underestimated.
It's a pity.
Chen Ping'an's gaze was calm, but a slight light appeared on his forehead.
"No matter how brilliant your talent, how can it compare to my profound knowledge?"
The Black Crow Old Monster gave a cold, sinister laugh. His face, covered with countless secret patterns, made him look incredibly terrifying.
In a brief exchange, he keenly sensed that every move his opponent made was a powerful offensive technique. Although his Blood Raven Technique was formidable, he might not be a match for his opponent in a direct confrontation.
To be honest, he still doesn't understand how the opponent, with only a first-level cultivation, could unleash such a powerful sword technique.
But these are all secondary.
Since the power of the moves is too great to withstand, let's start with the soul!
The opponent's realm is only one level. Even if he has the reputation of being a genius and his spiritual foundation is extraordinary and powerful, it is still difficult for him to compete with him.
With his superior cultivation level and powerful soul, coupled with the miraculous effect of the Soul Binding Lock, suppressing his opponent would be effortless.
Black Crow Old Monster was resolute, brimming with confidence, and he could already see the scene of his opponent's defeat.
With his overwhelming power, he suppressed the opponent here. Who else could the vast Gu family rely on?
Even if Gu Tianren didn't want to show his face, he probably had no choice but to do so given the circumstances.
That would be the perfect opportunity for him to avenge his past humiliation and get revenge for blocking his way back then.
Back then, he wouldn't have had the slightest courage to face Gu Tianren, but things are different now. Gu Tianren is old and frail, and Gu Tianren has made meticulous preparations. Even though his cultivation level hasn't improved over the years, his combat strength has increased.
The balance of power between the two sides has shifted.
Gu Tianren
The Black Crow Old Monster used hand seals to manipulate the Soul-Binding Lock. The Soul-Binding Rope Chain, hundreds of feet high, seemed to have a spirit, constantly looking for an opportunity.
Although the opponent's offensive power was strong, the limitations imposed by his divine soul meant there wasn't much of a good way to counter such tactics. Furthermore, the limitations imposed by his other methods left the opponent with few effective countermeasures.
"It's time to end this." Old Monster Black Crow sneered.
Just when he was confident of victory and felt he was about to secure the win, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
"Aren't you celebrating too soon?" Chen Ping'an stood holding his sword, its blade chillingly cold, its chilling aura almost tangible, instantly igniting.
Black Crow's eyelids twitched at the mention of the knife, a sudden sense of unease rising within him, a bad premonition creeping in.
What unsettled him was not only that, but also that, under the influence of his divine sense, his divine sense, which had been normal, suddenly surged dramatically at this moment.
From barely being comparable to the second realm before, in just a few moments, he has grown to a level almost identical to him.
"This is."
Black Crow Old Monster's heart pounded wildly as he tried to react, but it was too late.
The magnificent blade strike, like the sun piercing a rainbow, roared and thundered, carrying a chilling aura, and crashed down with a deafening roar.
Rumble~
The Black Crow Old Monster felt a chill run down his spine, his hair stood on end, and his body was covered in thick, dark black feathers that shone with an oily sheen, completely enveloping him.
His black feather robe is made of extraordinary material and contains hidden restrictions.
At this moment, he made a desperate gamble, placing all his hopes on Kuroba.
But all of this...
He was destined to be disappointed.
The blade's edge contained a strange power. The protective barriers that had been invincible in the past crumbled instantly before this strange power, becoming as thin and fragile as paper.
"The power to break the seal!"
Black Crow Old Monster's eyes were wide open; this was his last thought before losing consciousness.
Then the next moment.
He fell into complete silence.
With a single grab, Chen Ping'an caused the Black Crow Monster to lose all support and plummet from mid-air.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the Black Crow Monster's limbs went limp, and he knelt on the platform of the grand ceremony.
The noise in the arena subsided, and all was silent.
At the ceremony, countless people were shaken and their gazes met as they looked at that solitary figure in the center of the venue.
Black Crow Old Monster.
They lost!?
Gu Yueqianfang's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. He stared intently at the scene before him, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
"Breaking through the realm at the very edge of battle!"
He was utterly shocked and instinctively tried to escape.
But at that very moment, a calm and indifferent voice rang out not far from him.
"Since you're here, don't leave yet."
The sound reverberated, exploding in his mind like thunder.
Gu Yueqianfang shuddered, freezing in place. (End of Chapter)
