Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Top 10 Gatekeepers

As his words fell, Taishi Hong suddenly unleashed a slash, transforming the entire Battle Platform into an expanse of ocean in an instant.

"Sea Splitting Slash!"

The blade light instantly pierced through the sea surface, forcibly splitting the vast ocean into two halves, with the seawater flowing apart to both sides!

This slash was like a raging shark in the ocean, ferociously attacking Lin Yi!

Yet, Lin Yi merely countered with a backhand horizontal cut, accurately severing the head of the raging shark in a single strike!

The headless shark immediately lost its way in the big sea and dispersed in a frenzied rampage on the spot.

"Star Shattering!"

Taishi Hong bellowed deeply, unleashing another killing move!

Peerless blade light transformed into a dazzling star, which immediately shattered, the exploded star carrying an edge that could tear everything apart as it slashed towards Lin Yi!

"Not a bad swordsmanship, but still not good enough!"

Behind Lin Yi, the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image suddenly took shape, stepping heavenward with earth-shaking might, sweeping across with a sword that directly blasted the star apart.

Taishi Hong’s body was shaken back hundreds of meters, nearly being directly shaken off the Battle Platform.

"Incredible, this is Lin Yi, able to clash head-on with the likes of Taishi Hong, a senior!"

"What Martial Arts is that blood shadow? How can its might be so powerful?!"

Many people could see the extraordinary strength of the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image. Taishi Hong’s swordsmanship was renowned for its fierce and forceful nature, yet Lin Yi was able to clash directly with him and even came out on top!

Those with discerning eyes could see that it was the might of the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image, which could be described as so powerful it shocked the heavens and earth and made ghosts and gods weep, causing Taishi Hong’s blade techniques to fail and be rendered useless against Lin Yi.

Taishi Hong’s expression darkened, his gaze fixated on the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image. He knew that to defeat Lin Yi, he must break through this dharma image illusion; otherwise, Lin Yi would stand on invincible ground!

"Nine Heavens Cloud Slash!"

Taishi Hong pushed his blade momentum to the extreme, his presence seeming to skyrocket endlessly, ascending ninety thousand li; the heavens and the earth transformed, and the winds and clouds lost their color!

With a single slash, the winds and clouds were drawn in reverse; this was Taishi Hong’s strongest slash, a move where there was no turning back—it was a decisive attack that promised to settle the outcome, either your death or my demise!

"Sun and Moon Slash!"

Lin Yi called out quietly as the Heavenly Demon Dharma Image, holding the Meteor Sword, drew a slash towards the sky, capable of splitting the sun, moon, and stars!

Whoosh!

The speed of the sword light was extremely fast, tearing apart the sky in the blink of an eye and fiercely colliding with Taishi Hong’s blade light above the Battle Platform, exploding into pieces.

Terrifying Qi Force surged turbulently, filling the entire Battle Platform. In the next moment, a figure flew out from within and fell off the Battle Platform.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out wildly!

It was Taishi Hong!

Seeing this scene unfold before their eyes, the whole training ground was immediately swept up in an uproar.

"Taishi Hong actually lost!"

"Amazing! Defeating Taishi Hong proves that Lin Yi now possesses the combat strength of the top ten on the King List!"

"This victory means that Lin Yi has broken through all doubts. He truly deserves the name of the fifth of the Five Great Demons of Central Province!"

"..."

If Lin Yi’s defeat of Jing Wuyi was expected by everyone, then Lin Yi’s victory over Taishi Hong was completely beyond their expectations!

As a Gatekeeper in the top ten of the King List, Taishi Hong’s strength was formidable, constituting a watershed. And Lin Yi’s victory meant he had crossed this divide!

Witnessing Lin Yi defeat Taishi Hong, Hao Yanluo narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam suddenly flashing within, "Defeating just a Taishi Hong took so much effort; this kid’s achievements will stop here!"

With Taishi Hong’s strength, he was only fit to be instantaneously annihilated in his hands, yet Lin Yi had fought with Taishi Hong for so long before the outcome was decided. This indicated there was still a considerable gap in strength between Lin Yi and him.

"Later, I will crush him thoroughly, shattering this kid’s confidence to continue climbing higher!"

Having achieved consecutive victories in the deathmatch group, his demeanor appeared invincible. Lin Yi’s current momentum was strong, and he was highly regarded by the outside world. In such a circumstance, if he were to suddenly suffer a crushing defeat at his hands, trampled underfoot, his dignity would be completely lost, and he would become as a dog that had lost its home!

Even if he secured a top ten spot in the first round, Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to hold onto his position on the King List; he was destined to be ousted!

"Congratulations, Lin Yi."

After stepping down from the Battle Platform, Yan Qingrou immediately offered her congratulations to Lin Yi, "Defeating Taishi Hong, a top ten Gatekeeper, entering the top ten of the King List should not be a big problem this time."

However, Lin Yi shook his head and said, "There are many dark horses appearing in this tournament. Taishi Hong’s position as a top ten Gatekeeper is not stable either. We still cannot take things lightly."

"Lin Yi, next, you have a confrontation with Hao Yanluo, and he will certainly find ways to suppress your edge and humiliate you to the utmost!"

A hint of worry emerged in Lu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes, "If you cannot overcome him, there’s no need to stubbornly fight to the death. If necessary, you can directly concede, preserving your strength and condition for the next round!"

"Concede?"

Lin Yi looked far off at Hao Yanluo’s figure, and then the corners of his mouth curved up slightly. This guy, he’s not even worthy?

If he couldn’t even defeat Hao Yanluo, then wouldn’t his claim of competing for the first place on the King List in front of Lu Qingcheng be nothing but empty talk?
