BXBX NOVEL Chapter 280 - Killed
Chapter 280 - Killed
There were only two strands of dragon auras; it would be hard to split if more people came.
According to the number of dragon auras in the past, the number wouldn’t exceed three thousand.
There were nearly six thousand people, which meant there wasn’t enough for everyone. Not to mention, two strands were required to participate in the final ranking battle. Thus, the intensity of the competition could be imagined.
Wu Kang was furious, and his aura began to rise. He had chosen to go all out, turning into a comet and appearing three meters from Liu Wuxie.
“Searing Wind Slash!” A suffocating force swept out, which made Liu Wuxie feel tremendous pressure.
In the past, even after using Ghost Eye, Liu Wuxie had barely managed to kill Xue Shixiong. He could send Mo Chong flying because the latter had just reached the True Core Realm, and his cultivation still wasn’t stable.
Wu Kang hailed from the Azure Lion Empire and had reached the True Core Realm a year ago. His strength was on a whole new level compared to Xue Shixiong.
A blazing heatwave spread out, covering the sky with a boundless sword aura trapping Liu Wuxie. The six people gathered in the surroundings retreated with a hint of shock in their eyes.
“This is Senior Brother Wu’s strongest attack. He’s finished!” The Azure Lion Empire’s weakest participants were in the True Core Realm, and Wu Kang’s strength was relatively low compared to the other participants.
The few who came along were vassals to the Azure Lion Empire and had chosen to follow Wu Kang. They would be content if they could have some leftovers.
“Fatality Blade Art!” Facing the incoming attack, Liu Wuxie had no chance to evade. Wu Kang’s divine power was strong enough to control the entire Searing Wind Slash, enabling him to unleash attacks from various angles according to his will.
When Liu Wuxie cleaved down with the Heretic Blade, his blade aura enveloped a few hundred meters of radius.
Shit! Wu Kang cursed inwardly as his sword aura swiftly dissolved and dissipated in the blink of an eye. But it didn’t stop there as a powerful blade aura produced a deafening roar with unmatched power.
Even Lian Yuanzhou's face changed upon seeing the power of Liu Wuxie’s blade technique.
The blade and sword’s impact created a powerful shockwave that swept out. Those in the Quasi-True Core Realm couldn’t withstand the shockwave and were sent flying out, throwing up blood.
When a terrifying blade ray swept through Wu Kang’s body, it caused a rain of blood. Liu Wuxie used seventy percent of his true essence in this strike, intending to make it fatal.
“How could this be?!” Wu Kang roared furiously as he was a dignified expert in the True Core Realm from the Azure Lion Empire. As he retreated, the Fatality Blade Art followed, locked onto his neck no matter how hard he tried to dodge it. This meant the slightest distraction would result in being beheaded.
“Lian Yuanzhou, how long are you going to keep watching?! Help!” Wu Kang called for help because he would die if Lian Yuanzhou didn’t make a move soon. If that were to happen, no one would obtain the dragon auras.
Lian Yuanzhou also realized how serious this situation was. He wasn’t confident in facing Liu Wuxie by himself if Wu Kang died. He wielded his sword and attacked Liu Wuxie’s back, sandwiching the latter with Wu Kang.
If Liu Wuxie carried on his attack on Wu Kang, he would have to take Lian Yuanzhou’s attack with his back. This gave Liu Wuxie no choice but to withdraw the Heretic Blade.
When Liu Wuxie withdrew his blade, Lian Yuanzhou’s sword left a huge ten-meter-deep crater on the ground. This sword strike saved Wu Kang’s life, allowing Wu Kang to escape death narrowly with a hint of surprise and horror in his eyes.
If Lian Yuanzhou hadn’t attacked earlier, he would’ve been dead.
The faces of the ten envoys changed, including Yu Tianyi. They had considered that Liu Wuxie was capable of contending with the True Core Realm, but they didn’t expect to see Liu Wuxie almost killing one.
Killing someone in the True Core Realm was nothing special, but it was abnormal for someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm to do it. After all, trying to kill someone whose cultivation was one realm higher was unimaginable.
“Lian Yuanzhou, his true essence is stronger than ordinary cultivators in the True Core Realm, and his martial techniques are comparable to earth-grade martial technique. We have to be careful!” Wu Kang said in trembling fear. They had to end the battle quickly as people were approaching.
Lian Yuanzhou nodded and realized that Liu Wuxie couldn’t be underestimated. They attacked Liu Wuxie from the front and back. The pressure of facing two was utterly different from facing one person.
They wanted to end the battle quickly, but that was the same for Liu Wuxie.
By executing Ghost Eye, Liu Wuxie tracked each of their movements and identified weaknesses in their martial techniques. He could easily end the battle within two hours if they fought conventionally.
Liu Wuxie stabbed the Heretic Blade at Wu Kang. Perhaps Wu Kang was still affected by the previous attack and was still lingering in fear. He didn’t dare to clash with Liu Wuxie head-on, choosing to evade instead.
This brought a smirk to Liu Wuxie’s face because this was what he wanted. It was easier to deal with him now that Wu Kang had fear in his heart.
Relying on the Nine Heavenly Crane Dance, Liu Wuxie dodged Lian Yuanzhou’s attacks and chose not to engage with him in a frontal confrontation. The best method was to take them out individually.
The Heretic Blade followed Wu Kang no matter where he went, gradually making Wu Kang furious. It was frustrating that Liu Wuxie solely targeted him.
“Brat, do you think I’m afraid of you?!” Wu Kang mustered his courage. With Lian Yuanzhou holding Liu Wuxie back, he no longer had any concern and charged toward Liu Wuxie.
Simultaneously, Lian Yuanzhou’s attack was a meter away from Liu Wuxie’s back, rapidly closing in. As Wu Kang and Lian Yuanzhou cooperated often, they had formed a rapport.
“All of you are garbage. Do you think I’ll need you all to fear me?” Liu Wuxie's cruel smile rose on his lips as he passed the Heretic Blade to the other hand, and a violent fist intent erupted from him, forming a massive vortex.
“Fuck!” Wu Kang was terrified. He had already suffered a loss the previous day, and he didn’t want to suffer another loss that day. He initially thought that Liu Wuxie’s blade technique was powerful and that it would be easy to kill him if they could restrain his technique.
But reality was a harsh slap on his face. The Fatality Blade Art might be strong, but the Overlord Fist wasn’t any weaker in comparison.
Like a rumbling heatwave, the Overlord Fist’s power peaked, manifesting into a roaring jaw.
Wu Kang screamed and was devoured by the massive jaw manifested by the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. Liu Wuxie used the Overlord Fist as a disguise to release the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron. In the eyes of others, it only looked like the power of the fist technique, and no one would connect it with the cauldron.
Everything happened too quickly, and Lian Yuanzhou couldn’t react in time. After killing Wu Kang, Liu Wuxie didn’t stop there and flipped around in mid-air.
“Fatality Blade Art—Second Fatality Form!” A suffocating pressure of blade intent swept out, producing a powerful shockwave that engulfed Lian Yuanzhou. It was much easier now that Liu Wuxie had to face only one person, and it was a one-sided battle with an overwhelming advantage for Liu Wuxie.
“Brat, I’ll kill you!” Lian Yuanzhou found himself with no path of retreat, so he unleashed his strongest sword technique to tear open an escape route forcibly. Despite his words, he was clearly looking for an opportunity to flee.
“Hmph, you can die now!” Engulfed by the shockwave, Lian Yuanzhou lost his path of retreat as the blade aura tore apart his defenses, covering him in countless wounds with blood gushing out.
The Heretic Blade flew out from Liu Wuxie’s hand as he poured all his divine power into it. The blade began to spin in mid-air and beheaded Lian Yuanzhou.
This scene even shocked the ten envoys as they looked around in disbelief.
“Divine power in the Marrow Cleansing Realm?” Xi Jian muttered.
This was beyond their comprehension. Since when could someone in the Marrow Cleansing Realm clear their divine bridge?
“He has given all of us a surprise. He’s getting interesting now!” Xiang Rongjun smiled devilishly and licked his lips, fighting spirits gushing out of him.
The battle continued because Liu Wuxie didn’t stop after killing Wu Kang and Lian Yuanzhou. His figure suddenly divided into three, decapitating the heads of the five Quasi-True Core Realm cultivators in the surroundings.
After collecting their interspatial pouches, Liu Wuxie didn’t hesitate to leave.
The Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron devoured Wu Kang and Lian Yuanzhou’s bodies and converted them into spiritual liquid. The more True Core Realm cultivators he killed, the faster he would step into the True Core Realm.
According to his estimation, he would have to kill at least ten cultivators in the True Core Realm or absorb ten strands of dragon aura if he wanted to make a breakthrough.
Not long after Liu Wuxie left, a group of people appeared at the scene. Their brows furrowed as they looked at the five headless corpses on the ground.
“This is weird. There are traces of a battle between True Core Realm experts, but why aren’t there corpses of those in the True Core Realm?” Those people who arrived were baffled. No one could comprehend what was going on, including the ten envoys.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Many people managed to obtain dragon auras, and the fighting was ongoing, even at night. Those who managed to obtain dragon auras instantly became targets for everyone.
Liu Wuxie sat on the vast rock and gazed into the distance.
Even in the darkness, the two golden halos on his back made him stand out, even from ten thousand meters away.
As soon as he sat down, he heard a gust of wind rushing in his direction.
“Damn it!” Liu Wuxie complained as he couldn't take a rest. And so, Liu Wuxie spent the entire night being pursued.
He relied on his speed to escape when he encountered large groups of True Core Realm cultivators. If he encountered True Core Realm cultivators by themselves, he would kill them.
By the time it dawned, Liu Wuxie had killed five True Core Realm cultivators; over twenty thousand spiritual liquid droplets were accumulated in the Sky Devouring Divine Cauldron.
Liu Wuxie had entered the depths of the Dragon Battlefield unknowingly. The geographical environment here was different from the outer regions. All Liu Wuxie could see were craters on the ground as if meteorites had struck this place.
The largest crater was over ten thousand meters, and the smallest was a few meters.
This was a spectacular scene, and the demonic flame began to rumble when Liu Wuxie arrived as each crater was left behind in the ancient war.
