Chapter 379 - 55: Heartless Aristocrats, Kill or Be Killed!

Chapter 379: Chapter 55: Heartless Aristocrats, Kill or Be Killed!

The peak of Jinyu Peak was completely silent.

Only the reverberation of Sword Qi echoed, lingering in everyone’s ears for a long time.

Everyone from the Three Great Sects stood up—whether elders or the top ten disciples—all were frozen in disbelief.

The other observers all stared wide-eyed, unable to comprehend what just unfolded before them.

No one imagined that the battle would end with such an outcome!

After all, Hua Jingyang was unstoppable, unleashing his Spirit Martial Soul and amplifying his combat power with Earth Evil True Fire fueled by Essence Energy—his strength was nothing short of earth-shattering, a peerless king among the young generation of the Three Sects!

Yet, the overwhelmingly powerful Hua Jingyang was still defeated by Luo Cheng, and in a single strike, no less!

The sharp contrast created a shock wave in everyone’s hearts—unmatched and unparalleled—that rendered them incapable of uttering even a single word.

“This can’t be real!”

Finally, someone broke the silence with a heartfelt exclamation.

“Ha! Hua Jingyang, who awakened the Ten-Star Spiritual Martial Soul, defeated by an up-and-comer with a Wasted Martial Soul! Not even in a dream could this happen!”

“First place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! Xuanyuan Sect has truly risen to prominence this time!”

“Even they probably couldn’t have predicted that Luo Cheng would seize the championship title of the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition. Just look at the expressions on the faces of the Xuanyuan Sect members.”

The members of Xuanyuan Sect were all dumbfounded, still unable to regain their composure after half a day.

First place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition—something they had never dared to hope for, had never even imagined!

Because it was outright impossible!

Both Fierce Cloud Sect and Luoxia Sect’s young elite were overwhelmingly dominant!

Just Hua Jingyang and Yan Qingshuang alone were enough to crush their hopes for even considering the top two positions.

Let alone first place!

“First place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! This brat truly delivered on his word!!”

The Ninth Elder’s body trembled slightly with excitement as he turned to Chen Xuan and asked, “Old Xuan, did you see Luo Cheng’s extraordinary nature long ago and decide to take him as your direct disciple because of it?”

“How could that be!”

Awakening from his daze, Elder Chen Xuan shook his head.

Back then, he only promised to make Luo Cheng his direct disciple because he couldn’t bear for him to be expelled from the sect.

“Everything he’s achieved is entirely his own doing. I only provided some guidance about cultivation techniques. But… I’ve heard that his background might be connected to the Ji Family of Central Continent’s Xuan Emperor Peak.”

“The Ji Family of Xuan Emperor Peak in Central Continent!”

The Ninth Elder’s expression froze. He turned back to look at Luo Cheng and nodded slightly, “Then that explains it. From a place like that, even an ordinary person could break conventions and create miracles.”

Chen Xuan smiled. “Speaking of miracles, we’ve got one standing right before us.”

The Ninth Elder nodded, then shook his head. “But alas, he’s hindered by his inherent flaws. A Wasted Martial Soul ultimately has limited potential. His future achievements…”

Sighing slightly, the Ninth Elder continued, “If he really is connected to the Ji Family of Xuan Emperor Peak, it may not necessarily be a blessing for him. The higher the status, the more ruthless the world becomes.”

Elder Chen Xuan fell silent.

None are more ruthless than the imperial clan, and these families with legacies spanning countless ages are even more so.

Fierce Cloud Sect’s members, with faces ashen, stood frozen in place, equally dazed.

Hua Jingyang’s defeat had brought an impact far too intense for them!

An impact so massive that it was hard for them to believe that what had unfolded just now wasn’t all an illusion!

On the arena.

Luo Cheng paid no heed to the murmurs around him but locked his gaze on the ruins a kilometer away.

As the dust cleared, a blood-soaked figure emerged from the pit.

Hua Jingyang’s entire body was covered in sword wounds, especially at his chest—where flesh was mangled to the point of revealing stark white bones faintly rising and falling.

“Still alive!”

Luo Cheng was slightly surprised. The Divine Wind Absolute Kill he unleashed in peak condition was the pinnacle of his combat power!

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that an ordinary Sixth Level Awakening Vein Realm expert would perish on the spot under that strike!

The fact that Hua Jingyang was still breathing—such resilience indeed befits a supergenius who awakened a Spiritual Martial Soul!

Shua!

His figure shifted, and Luo Cheng instantly shot toward Hua Jingyang.

Having come this far, he didn’t want to leave behind any future trouble for himself!

“You little bastard! How dare you!”

The members of Fierce Cloud Sect came to their senses. Sun Yingyang erupted in fury, his silhouette darting forward, and he unleashed a claw attack toward Luo Cheng from afar.

Frowning, Luo Cheng retreated rapidly while simultaneously slashing his sword at the ruins where Hua Jingyang lay!

Boom!

The swift claw force barely missed Luo Cheng.

At the same time, a crescent-shaped Sword Qi rushed straight toward Hua Jingyang.

Bang!

At the most critical moment, a figure appeared before Hua Jingyang and obliterated the Sword Qi with a punch—it was Fierce Cloud Sect’s Great Elder Ren Kui!

Seeing this, Luo Cheng muttered a regretful “What a pity.”

Meanwhile, Sun Yingyang sped toward Luo Cheng.

“Die for me!”

With a furious roar, Sun Yingyang’s Essence Energy erupted across his body. His right hand clawed at the air, generating a massive ten-meter-long dark cyan claw force that tore toward Luo Cheng, leaving deep fissures etched across the ground from its savagery!

“Mystery Shadow Explosion!”

Though Luo Cheng wanted nothing more than to dismember Sun Yingyang, he didn’t lose his sanity.

A Sixth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert was far beyond his ability to contend with. At once, his figure burst apart into multiple mirages, retreating at high speed.

Shhhhhh…

One mirage after another was obliterated, with shockwaves rippling out in all directions.

“You vile brat!”

A thunderous voice rang out as the Ninth Elder intercepted on Luo Cheng’s behalf, his spear shattering the claw force. Not yet satisfied, flames surged across the spear as he thrust it fiercely toward Sun Yingyang.

Boom!

The spear force streaked through the sky like a rainbow, roaring forward, its overwhelming aura igniting the very air around it!

Sun Yingyang furrowed his brows, forced to give up on pursuing Luo Cheng. A luminous green light glimmered on his five fingers as he clawed at the incoming spear force.

Rumble!

The mountain peak trembled as energy rippled outward. Sun Yingyang’s form staggered backward uncontrollably.

Elder Chen Xuan and the others rushed to the Ninth Elder’s side, standing together.

Bang!

Stabilizing his position, Sun Yingyang’s icy gaze settled on the Ninth Elder and company:

“Hua Jingyang has been gravely injured and fallen from the arena—the duel is already over! Luo Cheng dared to strike at him again, intending to take his life. This is an affront to my Fierce Cloud Sect! Hand him over!”

“Utter nonsense!”

The Ninth Elder’s eyes glinted with defiance as he sneered, “Hand him over just because you said so? What do you take our Xuanyuan Sect for? If anyone dares touch even a hair of our disciple, I’ll see you end in mutual destruction today!”

Luo Cheng stepped forward, his voice cold: “Sun Yingyang, are you claiming Hua Jingyang fell off the arena? What arena are you talking about?”

Sun Yingyang’s gaze darted across the scene, only to find himself speechless.

These arenas were specifically crafted for the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, their maximum defensive capacity approximating the strength of a Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm fighter.

The battle between Luo Cheng and Hua Jingyang earlier had been earth-shattering—every move had far exceeded the arena’s defensive limits!

Not only had their combat arena been shattered beyond repair, but two nearby arenas had also been utterly obliterated, reduced to dust and ruins. Where was there even an arena left?

Fixing his stare on Luo Cheng, Sun Yingyang’s face twisted in fury, “Good! Very well! Luo Cheng! Seems I had underestimated you! I never thought even a worthless trash like you could turn the tables like this!”

Realizing he wouldn’t gain anything, Sun Yingyang let out a cold snort and turned away to check on Hua Jingyang’s injuries.

Hua Jingyang lay on the ground with tattered clothing, black blood continuously flowing from his mouth and nose, his breaths fleeting.

Fierce Cloud Sect’s Great Elder Ren Kui tended to Hua Jingyang’s injuries while Sun Yingyang asked:

“How is he?”

Ren Kui’s expression was grave. “He has only one breath left! Fortunately, the treatment was timely! However, his entire meridian network has been severely damaged, coupled with the side effects of the Earth Evil True Fire. Even if he recovers, I cannot guarantee he’ll return to his peak state.”

“That brat struck too viciously!”

Ren Kui’s heart bled inwardly, his gaze venomous.

A genius who awakened the Ten-Star Spiritual Martial Soul was a rarity like no other!

One in a million!

If Hua Jingyang were ruined like this, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophic loss for Fierce Cloud Sect!

“Damn it! I never imagined our Fierce Cloud Sect would suffer defeat at the hands of a piece of trash like him this time!”

The more he spoke, the angrier Ren Kui became. Casting a venomous glance at Luo Cheng, he hissed maliciously:

“Elder Sun, no matter the cost, we must kill this brat!”
