Chapter 51 Showdown
Chapter 51 Showdown
Han Li smiled bitterly to himself, but dared not make the slightest move. He could only stand there, lower his eyes and suppress all his aura, enduring the complicated gazes of everyone present. He felt that this unexpected disaster had come unexpectedly and was extremely frustrating.
Seeing Han Laomo's predicament, Su Mixin was overjoyed.
In the center of the arena, Wang Chan's chest heaved violently, each breath carrying scalding killing intent and extreme humiliation.
Being publicly crushed by Su Mixin, who was far more talented and younger than him, and being humiliated by being compared to Han Li, who had only a pseudo-spiritual root, his lifelong pride, sect glory, and dignity as the young master were torn to shreds and crushed into mud at this moment.
Su Mixin took in Wang Chan's extremely disheveled, restrained, and frantic appearance, a faint mocking smile flashing across her eyes, feeling utterly delighted.
That's exactly what he wanted to do, to make this young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect lose face in front of all the Yue Kingdom cultivators, and ultimately cause him to achieve the ultimate form of inner demons.
Su Mixin lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the nearly distraught Wang Chan, and spoke again, her words sharp and piercing: "Wang Chan, you look so unwilling, so I suppose you're still resentful, aren't you?"
Wang Chan clenched his teeth, a soft grinding sound coming from between them. His scarlet eyes were fixed on Su Mixin, and a low, hoarse growl rolled from his throat: "Su Mixin! You've gone too far!"
"Deceive you?" Su Mixin chuckled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; only utter contempt remained. "I was just telling the truth, exposing your self-deceiving illusions."
He raised his eyes and swept them across the entire arena. More than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators held their breath and focused their attention on the two people facing off in the center of the arena. No one dared to utter a sound.
Even Li Chongyue, Yan Yan, and other Core Formation experts stood quietly, waiting for what was to come.
Su Mixin withdrew her gaze and turned it back to Wang Chan. Her tone suddenly became sharper, carrying an undeniable force: "Since you are not convinced, then today, I will give you a chance to be completely convinced."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room paused slightly, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
Su Mixin spoke slowly, yet her voice resonated throughout the mountain peak as she publicly revealed the past grievances: "Half a year ago, at the Ghost Spirit Sect's Soul Shattering True Person's Nascent Soul birthday banquet, you and I, as the young masters of our two sects, were unable to personally go to the arena to duel due to our status."
"At that time, you secretly plotted and schemed, thinking you had everything planned and wanted to overpower me, but I think in your heart you ultimately wanted to defeat me in the ring to prove yourself."
He stood with his hands behind his back, composed and fearless: "Today, here, without many concerns, it's the perfect time to settle old scores from six months ago."
"We are both young masters of demonic sects, and the world often ranks us together as equals."
"Since there's so much talk about it, and you're always so arrogant and full of resentment, I'm just like you. I'm tired of being compared to trash like you. Let's keep it simple and direct."
"Let's settle this with our own cultivation and skills."
"After this battle, I will make you completely and utterly convinced, and make you realize the vast difference between us!"
The words landed with a resounding clang, like a thunderclap. The entire western mountain peak fell silent for a moment, then subtly stirred up discussions among the divine senses of all parties.
Every cultivator present was shaken to their core, their eyes fixed intently on the two figures in the arena.
The two top young masters of the six sects of the demonic path are going to have a one-on-one duel in public today to decide who is the best!
This is definitely the most exciting and breathtaking moment since the changes at today's treasure hunt!
Hearing this, Han Li, who was in the corner, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the other players were no longer focused on him.
The venomous gaze that had been fixed on him shifted away from him and returned to Su Mixin.
In the arena, Wang Chan spoke slowly and deliberately, gritting his teeth and roaring.
"Good! Good! Good!"
"Su Mixin, you asked for this!"
"I haven't been able to fight you for six months, and I've been holding a grudge ever since!"
"Today I accept your challenge and we shall fight in public! I want to see just how capable you are, daring to be so arrogant and humiliating towards me!"
Wang Chan's three fierce shouts rang out above the mountain peak, the raging anger in his chest almost burning through his reason.
All those standing around here are experienced cultivators, each with a sharp mind.
The next instant, everyone tacitly retreated, clearing the area in unison.
The three Core Formation stage protectors of the Thousand Illusions Sect, the Yan family cultivators, and Tian Buque and his two companions all retreated steadily.
The Li brothers of the Ghost Spirit Sect had grim and solemn faces. They exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with anxiety but helpless.
Wang Chan's fighting spirit was burning bright, and he was ready to fight; there was no way they could dissuade him.
The two could only suppress their worries and slowly retreat, standing guard in front of the remaining cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect, their bodies tense, ready to react at any moment.
In the blink of an eye, the area more than ten feet in the center of the peak was completely cleared, and no one lingered there anymore.
More than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators from various parts of the Yue Kingdom surrounded the area, holding their breath and remaining completely silent, all eyes fixed on the two opposing figures in the center of the arena.
In the far corner of the crowd, Han Li quietly let out a long sigh of relief.
With all eyes focused on the center of the battlefield, no one noticed that Su Mixin, standing calmly in place, had already taken advantage of a lull in the confrontation to quietly spread her divine sense.
The first telepathic message reached the ears of Li Chongyue, Lu Xin, and Madam Yulan: "Elders, once this battle begins, while Wang Chan and I are drawing everyone's attention, you must immediately lead the Foundation Establishment elders of the Yan family to launch a surprise attack on the Yin Fire Formation."
"More than ten Foundation Establishment elite cultivators from the Ghost Spirit Sect are controlling the formation. You must immediately break the formation forcefully. Except for Wang Chan and the Li brothers, kill all the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators present, leaving no survivors."
The three of them trembled almost imperceptibly, but their expressions remained unchanged. They quietly gathered their magical power, waiting for the signal to start the battle so they could act immediately.
Immediately afterwards, a second voice transmission entered Yan Yan's ear: "Senior Yan, if the scene becomes chaotic, the cultivators on all sides will be unsettled and the situation will be unpredictable. Please keep Ru Yan by your side at all times, never leaving her side, and do not allow anyone to get close to her. Ensure her safety."
Yan Yan's gaze narrowed slightly, and he nodded imperceptibly, his divine sense instantly locking onto Yan Ruyan beside him.
Finally, Su Mi's mind shifted, and she transmitted her thoughts to Tian Buque: "Senior Brother Tian, the moment I exchange the first blow with Wang Chan and the battle fully begins, immediately order the Crimson Serpent Twin Demons to attack and entangle the Li brothers. There's no need to force a kill or victory; just focus on restraining and stalling them, preventing them from extricating themselves from reinforcing the formation or intervening in the main battle. Hold out until the Yin Fire Formation is completely destroyed."
A playful, ruthless smile crept across Tian Buque's lips as he secretly gave a wink to the Crimson Serpent Twin Demons beside him.
The two demonic cultivators instantly understood each other, their crimson aura surging silently around them, locking onto the Li brothers, and entering a state of preparation and restraint.
The several voice transmissions ended silently and instantly, without anyone noticing anything amiss.
The entire western hilltop was utterly silent.
The faint sounds of wind and the cultivators' soft breathing vanished completely, and the vast mountaintop was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Su Mixin stood motionless, her golden cloud-silk robes fluttering in the breeze, her posture upright.
On the other hand, Wang Chan was brimming with murderous intent, and had reached the point where he was about to make a move.
The deathly silence lasted only a few breaths, yet felt as long as several autumns.
Without any further harsh words or probing questions, Wang Chan had completely reached the limit of his patience.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his ten fingers flew like lightning as he rapidly performed complex and strange secret techniques!
"Buzz!"
In an instant, a deep and eerie demonic sound reverberated from his body, and a dark and sinister blood energy suddenly spread throughout the entire area.
The black and red malevolent energy that had been surrounding him suddenly exploded violently, surging and spreading in all directions, carrying a chilling cold and a bloody ferocity, sweeping across the entire empty battlefield.
Crimson mist churned and gathered, violently surging in the void behind him.
Two fierce and ferocious blood-red phantoms suddenly burst out of the fog!
On the left and right, two ferocious blood demons, each about ten feet tall, appeared. Their bodies were crimson red, their flesh turned outwards, their fangs were white and exposed, and their ghostly eyes were bloodshot. They were surrounded by a dense aura of bloodlust and resentment. Their appearance was fierce and terrifying, and they exuded a sinister pressure that was no less terrifying than that of an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The moment the blood demon appeared, two silent ghostly howls shook the void. Invisible sound waves, carrying malevolent energy, swept across the entire area, causing the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the periphery to feel a chill run down their spines and their scalps to tingle. Many of them subconsciously took a half-step back.
Without any instruction from Wang Chan, the two ferocious blood demons transformed into two extremely refined blood-red streaks of light, tearing through the air and hurtling through the sky with a piercing sound and overwhelming ferocity. They attacked from the left and right, forming a pincer movement, and fiercely shot towards Su Mixin, who was standing still in place!
The offensive erupted suddenly and was extremely swift!
This highly anticipated duel between the young masters suddenly began with Wang Chan's fierce and domineering attack!
