Chapter 96 - 96: You Call This the Spirit Void
Translator: 549690339
Fortunately, the Great Hall of the Qintian Observatory was spacious enough for the Qi Cultivation Stage battle to be carried out with ample room.
Everyone took their positions, with Luo Wuzhou going first.
Before this, Luo Yunzhou had already informed Han Yi that he would not be the first to go on stage. Han Yi would only go on stage when all the late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators of the Luo family had fought and lost, as a form of respect.
Han Yi naturally had no problem with this. He had used the Qi Observation Skill to examine all the cultivators in the hall, except the old Foundation Establishment cultivator. The strongest ones were only a few, including Liu Heng, the patriarch of the Liu family, and Tang Xiangyu, the patriarch of the Tang family. Both of them were senior cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Cultivation Stage.
Although he didn’t know how strong these two were in battle, they couldn’t possibly be stronger than the muscular cultivator with the long spear he had encountered in the Evil Mountain Range.
Moreover, Han Yi’s realm had improved greatly during his six-month closed-door training, making his power stronger and therefore not afraid of the challenge.
Besides, there was a young man who caught his attention. The young man’s aura was elusive and hard to fathom, making it difficult to gauge his depth.
He stood among the people of the Liu family, with a cold temperament, wearing a light blue robe, and his eyes were calm and extraordinary at first glance.
“Is this person from the Liu family, like me, invited from a different sect?” Han Yi guessed.
As Han Yi looked over, the young man glanced back at him. Both of their expressions were calm as their gazes crossed, but Han Yi paid more attention to him.
On the stage.
The first to act was the Tang family, with an eighth-level elder stepping forward.
As soon as he entered the stage, Luo Wuzhou launched his offense. He used a medium-grade magic treasure in the form of a long banner. The banner was grayish-white, without the wickedness of the Blood Soul Banner. When it was summoned, more than a dozen cloth strips extended from the banner floating in mid-air, rolling towards the Tang family elder. Han Yi suddenly realized that this banner was a trapping device, and the cloth strips were also part of the magic treasure, not ordinary cloth strips.
As expected, the Tang family elder was completely immobilized after being wrapped by the cloth strips, and Luo Wuzhou defeated him with one strike, forcing him to retreat from the stage.
The second one on stage was an eighth-level cultivator from the Liu family, and this time, Luo Wuzhou lost.
Han Yi, who was watching from below, saw clearly that the Tang and Liu families were obviously joining forces to target the Luo family first, and then decide the winner afterwards.
Han Yi shook his head. If he hadn’t come this time, the Luo family would have undoubtedly lost.
The battle continued vigorously. After Luo Wuzhou’s defeat, Luo Anyang of the ninth level in the Luo family went on stage. He was defeated by a ninth-level elder of the Liu family. Then, Luo Zhiguang went on stage. Despite his injuries, he fought with all his strength and won the match.
Tang Xiangyu laughed heartily. At this moment, Luo Zhiguang had no strength left to fight. Tang Xiangyu had already overpowered Liu Heng of the Liu family years ago. There was no doubt that he would easily defeat Luo Zhiguang and then defeat Liu Heng. The winner could only be him, and only the Tang family.
Just then, he saw a young man walk out from the Luo family’s group, speak a few words to Luo Zhiguang, and then Luo Zhiguang’s face showed respect as he forced his body to bow before being helped off the stage by others from his family.
The young man was naturally Han Yi. At this point, he could no longer ignore the situation, as it would be unjust.
“A mere seventh-level Qi cultivator, daring to stand before me, your courage is not small.”
“Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your family, so that you understand that there are always people more powerful than you, and higher realms.”
If Tang Xiangyu hadn’t said those words, Han Yi would have taken it easy on him and wouldn’t have been too harsh. But with that said, his family was now involved. Even though they were separated by two worlds, it had touched his bottom line.
Han Yi’s face turned cold: “Stop blabbering.”
Then, he pointed forward lightly, tapping in the void.
Spirit energy faintly burst out from his fingers, as if a droplet of spirit liquid had fallen on the plane of the void in front of Han Yi. The spirit liquid rippled in layers, seemingly slow, but in a blink of an eye, it had spanned seven or eight meters and reached Tang Xiangyu.
“What is this?” Tang Xiangyu was suddenly startled. Although the spirit light didn’t seem to possess much power, it was incredibly fast. He took out a black shield from his storage bag.
This was a medium-grade magic treasure. As soon as the shield was placed in front of him, the spirit light fell upon it.
Bang!!
A loud explosion suddenly sounded, startling some nearby cultivators and causing their faces to pale.
An elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was sitting nearby with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked over, a hint of shock in his gaze.
On the other side, the cold-hearted young man among the Liu family was also taken aback, staring at Han Yi, his face unchanged, but a wave of emotions rippled in his heart.
In the arena.
Tang Xiangyu’s face changed drastically, and his mid-grade magical weapon emitted a crackling sound under the impact of the spirit light. The terrifying explosion also pushed his body backward involuntarily by three meters.
As he raised his head, intending to say something, the second spirit light appeared before his eyes. No, not just one, six or seven spirit lights followed the second one, forming a line of stars in an instant.
“Friends, show mercy…”
Before his words could finish, the spirit light had already struck his shield. The second spirit light shattered the shield on the spot, the third spirit light landed on his shoulder while he was sidestepping to avoid the attack, the fourth landed on his chest, and the fifth struck directly at his brow, embedding into his glabella.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
In a blink of an eye, the concentrated spirit light exploded, and the terrifying spirit energy was released in an instant. Everyone’s faces were filled with horror and shock as they watched the scene unfold.
Luo Yunzhou, who was beside Luo Zhiguang, was also dumbfounded, as this was the first time he saw Han Yi’s terrifying power up close.
During the battle at Tianqing City, it happened during the night and he couldn’t see clearly. Moreover, he thought Han Yi’s strongest skill was his Sword Control Skill.
But Han Yi was now using a magic skill that Luo Yunzhou was also familiar with.
“Spirit, Spirit, Spirit Void Finger?”
As the violent spirit energy dissipated, all that remained was a disfigured corpse.
Han Yi’s face was cold, and after over a decade, he was no longer the same person from a law-abiding society.
Having experienced Mengshan City, Tianqing City, and the Evil Mountain Range, he had already become a qualified cultivator in the Cultivation World.
He made decisive kills with an unchanged expression.
He slightly turned his body and looked at the rest of the Tang family members who had turned around angrily and looked towards Han Yi after witnessing the death of their family head. Their faces changed drastically as they made eye contact with Han Yi, and they retreated in fear.
“Leave.”
An elder from the Tang family, who had just entered the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, clasped his hands toward the elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting above. He didn’t dare to look directly at Han Yi, and after collecting the broken corpse from the ground, he turned to leave without raising his head. It was more like running away than walking.
The other members of the Tang family followed him with fearful expressions.
In an instant, they went from heaven to hell.
Only the Luo family and the Liu family remained.
Standing in the arena, Han Yi appeared to be at the Qi Cultivation Stage from his aura, but apart from Luo Yunzhou, no one else saw him as just a seventh-level cultivator. They thought he had used a secret technique to hide his aura and lower his rank from the ninth to the seventh level of the Qi Cultivation Stage.
The Luo family members looked excited.
On the other hand, Liu Heng, who originally wanted to take the stage, had a slightly changed expression.
He had improved his strength significantly over the years, and he was confident that he could defeat Tang Xiangyu if he paid some price. However, just now, Han Yi easily killed Tang Xiangyu, which shocked him greatly. He was stronger than Tang Xiangyu, but only by a small margin. Under such circumstances, if he went up, he was sure to die.
His face was ugly, but he hadn’t given up. He had paid such a huge price, and he absolutely wouldn’t let it end without a fight. Then, he turned to the cold-hearted cultivator among the Liu family members.
“I ask Brother Zhao to take action..”
