Chapter 319: Chapter 316 Void Spirit Five Slashes

"Damn it, impossible!"

Young Master Blood Python’s expression was extremely gloomy. He had transformed into a demon and still couldn’t get the better of Ye Xuan. On the contrary, he couldn’t even gain a slight advantage and was completely at a disadvantage.

He desperately wanted to change the situation, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t wrest control from Ye Xuan’s hands.

After exchanging twenty moves, he had already been hit by more than ten of Ye Xuan’s palms, covered in wounds, and the situation was dire.

"Down you go!"

Ye Xuan’s gaze suddenly hardened, and then he landed a palm on Young Master Blood Python’s chest, blasting the latter off the Battle Platform.

The third victory was his.

Below the platform, it was already a splendid scene.

"Amazing, even after transforming into a demon, Young Master Blood Python still couldn’t take any advantage from Ye Xuan’s hands. With such combat power, he’s probably strong enough to challenge for the top three."

"It’s very possible. However, under Demon Dragon Young Master and Linglong, Gong Ze, Long Feiying, and Yu Yi all possess considerable strength. There shouldn’t be any problem for Ye Xuan to enter the top five, but as for the top three, that’s still something we need to wait and see."

"I don’t think so. After three consecutive wins, I have a hunch that he will keep on winning."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Each of the top ten experts who had entered the final was an object of worship among the members of Sky Demon Mountain, and as a newcomer, Ye Xuan undoubtedly attracted even more attention. Many people were anticipating just how far Ye Xuan could go.

In the fourth battle, Ye Xuan’s opponent was Xiang Shao, whose strength was almost on par with Young Master Blood Python. Without transforming into a demon and within ten moves, he was defeated by Ye Xuan.

However, on another Battle Platform, Yu Yi faced a quite formidable opponent, namely the genius under the Sky Fox Demon Venerable, Gong Ze.

Although Gong Ze wasn’t as talented as his younger sister, Linglong, he was nonetheless a top-notch genius of Sky Demon Mountain, and previously, his strength was definitely above Yu Yi’s. But now, it was somewhat hard to say.

"Riding the Wind and Clouds!"

Gong Ze’s footsteps were empty, as if walking on the wind. His movement technique was unpredictably elusive, a High Stage Heavenly Grade movement martial art that harnessed the forces of wind and cloud. Although it was only the most basic level of application, it greatly enhanced his speed.

A cold blade emerged from within his white sleeves, aiming straight for Yu Yi’s throat.

But Yu Yi was prepared. As soon as she saw his steps unfold, she changed her stance as well. Tapping the ground with the tip of her toe, she soared into the sky, her jade hand transforming into a palm blade and slashing downward.

Boom!

The Palm Blade and the blade’s light collided, sending sparks flying.

"Sky Feather Storm!"

Demonic power extended from behind Yu Yi, turning into two wings. As the wings flapped rapidly, she herself spun like a tornado toward Gong Ze, and countless Light Feathers fell from her wings, forming a storm that fiercely swept toward Gong Ze.

"Demon Domain Field!"

A dark gleam flashed in Gong Ze’s eyes. Suddenly releasing twisted black light from within his body, it contained an outward repelling force, enshrouding him completely.

Puff, puff, puff, puff!

One after another, the Light Feathers fell on the black light shield, causing ripples, but they couldn’t break through the Light Shield, all being blocked outside.

After withstanding a barrage like a storm, the Demon Domain Field finally collapsed and shattered.

"Void Spirit Five Slashes!"

Yu Yi concentrated, her jade hand repeatedly slashing in the air, her Palm Blade twisting as it cut toward Gong Ze, relentless and unceasing.

Faced with a master like Gong Ze, Yu Yi held nothing back. She knew her own strength and understood that she needed to use her trump card to stand a chance of winning. When the strengths were roughly equal, the one who could seize the initiative would have a better chance of winning. If you keep getting led by the nose, failure isn’t far away.

Of course, there were those who could win in a passive situation, but that required having a reserve strategy. Without a reserve, being suppressed meant just that, and the likelihood of a rebound was slim.

However, Gong Ze was no ordinary foe, and not so easily suppressed. Yu Yi’s Void Spirit Five Slashes were formidable, but Gong Ze managed to block the first three strikes in succession.

"The Fourth Slash!"

Yu Yi’s Palm Blade cut through the air, the sound of it tearing was thunderous.

Boom!

Gong Ze crossed his arms across his chest, black demonic power spreading out, blocking the fourth slash. However, under the impact of that Palm Blade, his demonic power trembled wildly, and he was forced back three steps.

"This difficult to deal with?"

A look of surprise flashed across Gong Ze’s face. He had a rough idea of what level Yu Yi’s strength was. He thought that even if she had improved, she couldn’t have become that much stronger, but fighting her turned out to be quite troublesome.

Among the crowd, there was a stir as well. If Ye Xuan was considered the biggest dark horse of this competition, then the second one would have to be Yu Yi. Gong Ze was a top-notch expert, ranking just below the Demon Dragon Young Master and Linglong. He was originally not someone Yu Yi could handle, but now, Gong Ze was actually being suppressed by Yu Yi.

This undoubtedly indicated that during this period, Yu Yi’s strength had also surged tremendously.

"Huoyou Demon Venerable, it seems your Huoyou Peak has gained quite a bit, eh? Not only have you added an outstanding youngster like Ye Xuan, but even the strength of the girl Yu Yi has improved so much. Truly a cause for celebration." Having observed Yu Yi’s performance, Peng Venerable also smiled and looked towards Huoyou Demon Venerable, and said.

"Hehe, Ye Xuan’s achievements are all his own doing. As for Yu Yi, I’m also somewhat surprised. I didn’t expect the girl to have progressed so much recently." Huoyou Demon Venerable’s face was brimming with smiles. Yu Yi’s current display of strength was even somewhat unexpected to her.

However, her eyes soon lit up. Could it be because Ye Xuan had moved into the Skyfire Hall a while ago?

"The power of love is indeed wondrous."

Huoyou Demon Venerable silently marveled. She didn’t think it was because Ye Xuan had instructed Yu Yi, but rather, it was the result of Yu Yi’s mutual affection with Ye Xuan. Yu Yi had not only overcome her predicament, but her strength had also greatly increased. She could only attribute it to the power of love.

If Ye Xuan knew that this was what the Huoyou Demon Venerable was thinking, he would probably be torn between laughter and tears, marveling at Huoyou Demon Venerable’s rich imagination.

However, at this time, Ye Xuan obviously didn’t have the leisure to indulge in wild thoughts. He was paying attention to the battle on the platform because the fight between Yu Yi and Gong Ze was about to come to an end.

At this moment on the platform, Yu Yi was fully concentrating on the final slash of the Void Spirit Five Slashes. Her body swelled rapidly with demonic power, and behind her, a colorful giant bird emerged.

And Gong Ze, on the other hand, was stimulating his demonic power and had condensed a huge demonic power shield in front of him. If Yu Yi’s attack were to land, there would be no escaping. He could only block with all his might. Once he managed to deflect it, his opportunity would come.

The demonic power shield took up a third of the Battle Platform, its light exceptionally focused, as if it were as solid as a fortress.

That moment was also when he would turn the tide and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

Ye Xuan’s gaze was heavy as he stared at the scene on the platform. He knew that if Yu Yi’s fifth slash couldn’t defeat Gong Ze, then the one likely to lose would be Yu Yi.

But looking at the situation, it seemed difficult for Yu Yi to beat Gong Ze with her fifth slash.

"Seems like I need to help the girl out."

Ye Xuan revealed a thoughtful expression. His eyes swept over that demonic power shield, and then the corners of his mouth curled slightly upward. A voice, mingled with soul power, was sent to Yu Yi on the platform.

After receiving Ye Xuan’s message, Yu Yi’s pretty face changed subtly. She couldn’t help glancing outside the ring at Ye Xuan, and after seeing him nodding at her, a gleam of determination flashed through her eyes, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Fifth Slash!"

Yu Yi’s fifth palm struck out, and the palm blade fell from the sky like a heavenly saber descending, striking vertically towards the Battle Platform.

Boom!

The Palm Blade struck the air, but the range it covered was much narrower, focusing fiercely on the very center of the demonic power shield.

Crack!

Under that slash, the shield actually cracked, and was forcefully sliced open, while the Palm Blade penetrated through the fissures and struck Gong Ze, blasting him away.

"How is that possible?"

Gong Ze’s face showed an expression of disbelief. Yu Yi had actually discerned the weakness of his move, directly shattered it, and delivered a devastating blow to him.

"I won."

At this time, a smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face. Even though Gong Ze had not been completely knocked off the Battle Platform, the outcome was pretty much determined.

He had merely instructed Yu Yi to give her all and strike at the weak spot. Although the weakness was small, once it was detected under equally matched strength, it would be fatal.

Bang!

Just as Ye Xuan expected, within ten moves afterwards, Gong Ze was finally attacked off the Battle Platform by Yu Yi, declaring his defeat.

And at the same time, Yu Yi also achieved her fourth victory.

Watching the colorful figure on the Battle Platform, the many gazes around all carried a hint of admiration and fervor. Beautiful women, especially powerful ones, were undoubtedly highly revered in Sky Demon Mountain. In the younger generation of Sky Demon Mountain, there were two goddesses, one was Linglong, and naturally, the other was Yu Yi. Now that Yu Yi had defeated Gong Ze, her status in everyone’s mind naturally soared even higher, much to popular acclaim.

"I lost, but I want to know how you saw the flaw."

Gong Ze, having been defeated by Yu Yi, was undoubtedly somewhat unwilling to accept it. But a loss was still a loss. He had to face reality. Still, he was curious, as Yu Yi, with her capabilities, should not have been able to spot the flaw in his move in that split second.

"That, I’m afraid I cannot say more."

Yu Yi shook her head, her eyes glancing towards Ye Xuan out of the corner of her eye. She couldn’t very well say it was Ye Xuan who had pointed it out to her from below.

"All right then."

Gong Ze stepped off the Battle Platform somewhat dejectedly. This battle, he felt, was lost in a rather regrettable way, or at least he had originally thought he had a greater chance of winning.
