Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 279: Surrender to Me!

Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Surrender to Me!

"Mid-grade Spiritual Weapon?"

Ling Chen coldly spoke, uttering these words.

The mid-grade Spiritual Weapon he referred to was not the one he lent to Chen Yichen, but the weapon Zhang Yun used to kill Chen Yichen!

First, feigning defeat, then switching to use the mid-grade Spiritual Weapon when Chen Yichen was caught off guard—this was how he managed to kill him with a single strike.

In terms of combat experience, this Chen Yichen truly was no match for the battle-hardened Zhang Yun!

If one says they both practiced combat arts, then what Zhang Yun practiced was the art of killing!

The two are not on the same level at all!

Ling Wu, Wan Er, and others all had expressions of sorrow.

Who could have thought that Chen Yichen, who only intended to showcase his strength, would be separated from them by life and death so suddenly?

But, the students from other Academic Palaces showed a look of immense wariness.

Earlier they thought those cruel rules were merely to scare them.

After all, no one had died in the three rounds of competition prior.

However, now, Chen Yichen’s death had set off an alarm for them.

This Eight Palaces martial tournament was indeed deadly!

Atop the Observation Platform.

Mo Han clenched his fists tightly, his eyes nearly bursting with angry sparks, his body trembling slightly with agitation.

He could tell, from the outset, Zhang Yun had intended to put Chen Yichen to death.

Even though Chen Yichen’s talent was not that great, he was still a member of the True Martial Academy.

Moreover, Mo Han had had more contact with Chen Yichen than other students and thus felt a deeper connection.

But now, he could only watch powerlessly as Chen Yichen died.

"Master Mo, please restrain your grief."

Xu Qing and several other Palace Masters looked towards Mo Han.

Their eyes were also filled with a solemn color.

Even though it was not their student who died, Chen Yichen’s death was an awakening for them.

"Haha, if his skills are inferior, what’s there to regret about his death?"

At this moment, Zhao Tianwu’s voice inappropriately sounded.

"Zhao Tianwu, you’re courting death!"

Mo Han suddenly stood up, his aura of the Sixth Level Primordial Pill Realm exploding forth!

Zhao Tianwu, fearless, laughed and said, "What, can’t the True Martial Academy accept defeat? If that’s the case, you shouldn’t participate in the Eight Palaces martial tournament at all!"

Seeing the two Palace Masters about to clash, virtually all cultivators turned their gazes towards the Observation Platform.

"Master Zhao, please hold back a few words!"

Xu Qing hastily persuaded.

He was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Tianwu.

Knowing that Mo Han was in a bad mood, he still made such insensible remarks!

"I’m only stating the facts. The rules of this edition of the Eight Palaces martial tournament were clear—either die in battle or admit defeat. Since one participates in the Eight Palaces martial tournament, one acknowledges these rules. Now that a useless person has died, do we ignore the rules?"

Zhao Tianwu coldly said.

"Enough, shut your mouth!"

Ye Fan glanced over here.

Hearing this, the Palace Masters then quieted down.

Ye Fan was an Elder of the Taiwu Academy, also a Eighth Level Primordial Pill Realm cultivator.

In both status and strength, he was above them.

When Ye Fan spoke, they had no choice but to comply.

At this moment, the watching cultivators also slowly understood the truth behind Zhang Yun’s killing of Chen Yichen.

Seeing such an exciting match, everyone felt it was well worth their time, extremely excited.

"The third contestant from the True Martial Academy, please come up!"

Xiao Yun’s voice sounded once again.

As soon as his voice fell, a series of murmurs erupted amongst the crowd.

"This Ling Chen must be seeking revenge for Chen Yichen?"

"That’s for sure! After all, Ling Chen is the captain of the True Martial Academy team!"

"Haha, Zhang Yun is probably wetting his pants now!"

"Yes, as soon as Ling Chen steps up, he will surely admit defeat!"

"Yes indeed, this person could even use a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!"

...

"Whoosh!"

A rushing wind sound emerged, and Ling Chen appeared above the Star Luo River, facing Zhang Yun directly.

However, much to everyone’s surprise, Zhang Yun did not admit defeat right away but stared at Ling Chen with a resentful face.

Even after Xiao Yun announced the start, Zhang Yun still did not choose to admit defeat.

"Are you surprised that I didn’t concede to you?"

Zhang Yun sneered.

"Indeed!"

Ling Chen nodded, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent: "But if you wish to die, I will oblige you!"

"Heh."

Zhang Yun shook his head and said, "I might not have been your match before. But don’t forget, you no longer have a high-grade Spiritual Weapon now! And, I do! With such an advantage, you might not necessarily defeat me!"

In the team captain’s plan, Zhang Yun was supposed to concede to Ling Chen.

But after seizing Ling Chen’s high-grade Spiritual Weapon from Chen Yichen, he changed his mind.

He wanted to test Ling Chen’s capabilities on behalf of Taiwu Academy.

Moreover, even if he couldn’t win, he had a way to make Ling Chen concede!

He also wanted to achieve the glory of overcoming five opponents!

"Really? Don’t forget, who was it that severed your finger?"

Ling Chen said coldly with a smile.

At his words, Zhang Yun’s face turned ashen.

Ling Chen was pointing out his scars!

With a resentful face and gritted teeth, he said, "Boy, today I shall wash away the disgrace of that day!"

"Boy, prepare to die!"

Zhang Yun let out a cold shout, and his Spiritual Power burst forth again.

"Eight Desolate Slash!"

Zhang Yun held a high-grade Spiritual Weapon and once again executed a low-grade attack Heavenly Spirit Technique.

His Spiritual Power was comparable to the late third phase of the Primordial Pill Realm.

But Ling Chen was only at the early first phase of the Primordial Pill Realm, and his Spiritual Power was only at the early second phase of the Primordial Pill Realm.

In terms of Spiritual Power alone, he was over one and a half phases higher than Ling Chen.

Additionally, with his high-grade Spiritual Weapon, even if Ling Chen employed a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, he could still defeat Ling Chen.

Originally, he was defeated by Ling Chen primarily due to the sudden burst of speed.

However, now the distance between them wasn’t close.

In this vast sky, Ling Chen’s speed didn’t have much of an advantage.

Witnessing the Sword Qi blasting towards him, Ling Chen stood with his hands behind his back, showing no signs of using a Heavenly Spirit Technique to defend against it.

Suddenly, a black Spiritual Power glow burst out from him, and then, he moved.

The Sword Qi brushed past him!

"What terrifying speed!"

The observing cultivators exclaimed.

Facing Zhang Yun’s attack, even Wan Er had to use a low-grade Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique to dodge it.

But Ling Chen, without using any Spirit Art, dodged the Sword Qi so easily.

How could these people know that beneath the black Spiritual Power glow covering Ling Chen were faint specks of starlight?

This was the hallmark of the first phase of the Undying Star body!

The first phase of the Undying Star body, where the physical strength could completely match the late third phase of the Primordial Pill Realm!

Adding the boost provided by the Spiritual Power of the first phase Primordial Pill Realm, how could an attack comparable to a third phase Primordial Pill Realm cultivator touch him?

"How is this possible?!"

Zhang Yun’s eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, his face filled with disbelief.

During their initial fight, due to the close distance, he never realized how fast Ling Chen was until he was defeated.

Now, having truly experienced Ling Chen’s speed, he was naturally shocked.

He thought he had victory in the bag, but now it seemed he had been too naive!

He finally understood, with Ling Chen’s speed, even without a high-grade Spiritual Weapon, he might still not be able to defeat Ling Chen!

He stared at Ling Chen and coldly smiled, saying, "It appears that I can’t defeat you, but you will have to concede to me today!"
