Chapter 2113 - 2113 2103 Hellfire Shattering Ground Stick

2113: Chapter 2103: Hellfire Shattering Ground Stick 2113: Chapter 2103: Hellfire Shattering Ground Stick “I can’t possibly be defeated.”

Luo Ming’s eyes reddened, he had never imagined that he would actually fail, especially when he was supposed to be the biggest dark horse.

Watching Luo Ming descend into madness, Chu Bei didn’t speak, he merely stood his ground silently with his sword in hand.

“Sandstorm!”

True Qi transformed into a sky full of wind and sand, with flying pebbles continuously smashing towards Chu Bei.

“Official Script: Fight!”

In front of Chu Bei, a sky full of ink-colored Sword Shadows rose, slicing every small stone that neared him in half with a single slash.

Whispers spread among the audience below the Stage.

Chu Bei’s strength surpassed all expectations.

No one had thought that the ordinary Chu Bei would possess such overwhelming strength.

“What?”

Luo Ming clearly did not anticipate that his moves would be so easily neutralized by Chu Bei.

By the time he realized, Chu Bei’s figure had already appeared in front of him.

The long sword, glinting with a cold light, was now resting on his neck, and just like that, the Conference’s biggest dark horse was simply defeated by Chu Bei’s hand.

“I lost.”

Luo Ming slumped to the ground in disbelief, the man who had wanted to fight Long Yan had unexpectedly been defeated prematurely.

Chu Bei sheathed his long sword and didn’t bask in any cheers from the audience, instead, he quietly turned and walked towards the back of the Stage.

“The winner, Chu Bei.”

The Referee finally snapped out of his shock and declared Chu Bei’s victory.

As for the latter, there was not a ripple in his heart as he had already identified the greatest adversary of this Conference.

Chu Bei cast his gaze to the stands above, where Long Yan watched him with a smile.

As their eyes met, an invisible electric arc sparked between them.

Long Yan felt fairly at ease.

Chu Bei hadn’t used his full strength against Luo Ming, but ever since his battle with Sun Ling, his heart yearned for combat.

Only by clashing with more Strong Ones could he continuously enhance his strength.

And ultimately reach that unattainable peak.

With that thought, Long Yan took a deep look at Chu Bei who remained on the Stage, then turned and walked outside, unafraid of the upcoming battle with Chu Bei, and instead, rather looking forward to it.

“You’ve been marked by the Emperor Clan.”

Luo Pin tossed the Bounty Order she had just received into Long Yan’s hands.

Apparently, Di Xin was behind this, an unexpected move to everyone.

The death of the Emperor Clan’s genius, Di Yan, posed a fatal threat to Di Xin’s position, yet, no one expected that Di Xin could actually incite the Emperor Clan to issue a bounty on Long Yan.

In the Cultivation World, the dead served no purpose.

“Should I say it was expected?”

Long Yan had always been indifferent to such matters, not just the bounty order, but even when he was hunted down by all the Major Sects, he had never felt a flicker of fear.

“Hey, this is the Emperor Clan’s manhunt, a force that rivals our Shengdao Alliance.”

Luo Pin felt agitated by Long Yan’s nonchalant attitude.

Did this man not take his own life seriously at all?

He had looked rather dashing when he talked about reaching the pinnacle, but if he was dead, there could be no talk of reaching any pinnacle.

“What about me?”

Long Yan paused, then the words that followed made even Luo Pin feel a bit dizzy.

“I’ve been constantly hunted down, but all who chased me ended up beneath my feet.”

Although his tone was calm, Long Yan’s heart was anything but.

Ever since he started in the lowest tier of worlds, offending countless forces, assassination attempts had become commonplace for Long Yan.

Luo Pin, having been sheltered like a flower in a greenhouse since childhood, naturally couldn’t comprehend the hardships Long Yan, a loose cultivator, had faced along his journey.

Chu Bei’s competition hadn’t ended yet, and most geniuses had already gone through one round of matches by the time it was his turn, which meant he was entering the second round.

So for Chu Bei, the day’s match was back-to-back.

Whether by luck or misfortune, he encountered Sun Ling in this round.

“The world really is small,”

Sun Ling’s luck carried a tinge of helplessness.

His opponent from the last match had already conceded, as after witnessing the power of Sky Splitting Change, very few had the courage to challenge him.

He was helpless for a simple reason – he hadn’t expected that the man he was drinking and chatting with yesterday would stand against him with sword drawn today.

“My apologies,”

Seeing Chu Bei nod, Sun Ling pulled out an Iron Stick from his storage bracelet, and a weighty sense of oppression spread across every corner of the battlefield.

“Sky Splitting Change!”

From yesterday’s conversation, Sun Ling didn’t dare to be careless.

He immediately entered the state of Sky Splitting Change, and instantly the Stage began crumbling, piece by piece.

With a hefty stamp of his left foot on the ground, Sun Ling charged at Chu Bei, raising his Iron Stick high with a force that threatened to destroy heaven and earth.

“Official Script: Soldiers!”

Chu Bei, calm and collected, lifted his sword, and the scattered ink-colored True Qi formed soldiers that fearlessly charged towards Sun Ling.

A beastly roar came from Sun Ling’s mouth, and he wielded the massive Iron Stick as if it were weightless.

With a casual swing, all the True Qi soldiers were swept away.

Chu Bei’s face remained unflustered as he leaped high into the air, the scattered Sword Qi weaving into a dense Sword Qi Net that enveloped Sun Ling, who had not slowed down at all.

“Hmph.”

A steamy puff of smoke shot from Sun Ling’s nostrils, showing no fear as the Sword Qi Net covered him, eliciting a barrage of ping and pong sounds in the air.

The enhancement from Sky Splitting Change was so freakishly extreme that the Sword Qi Net had no effect, sparking countless sparks off Sun Ling’s body instead.

Sun Ling’s body shot straight towards Chu Bei, who was still in the air.

“Split Sky Stick!”

The Iron Stick, growing against the wind, formed a massive stick shadow that smashed towards Chu Bei, who at that moment couldn’t move in midair, with the imposing shadow nearly upon him.

“Official Script: Shield!”

Chu Bei quickly conjured a dark protective shield around his body, choosing to withstand the incoming blow rather than evade it.

With a thunderous boom, the immense force left the onlooking crowd with their hearts in their throats, some of the more timid spectators shuddering at the strike.

It’s worth mentioning that since the match between Long Yan and Sun Ling, the number of cultivators maintaining the protective shield had increased from ten to fifteen to prevent further damage to the Arena.

Therefore, the force with which Chu Bei hit the protective shield merely caused the entire Arena to shake but not shatter as it had during Long Yan’s time.

“Hellfire Shattering Ground Stick!”

Another stick shadow crashed down, Sun Ling moving so fast that many spectators could barely keep up with his speed.

The massive stick shadow, with its terrifying fluctuations, hammered down again in Chu Bei’s direction.

Had this blow landed, Chu Bei would likely have had no more business being in the match.
