Chapter 431: Chapter 428: The Final Battle
"Even Jue Wuchen has been defeated."
The crowd had run out of words to say. Who was Jue Wuchen? Ranked first on the Master List and called the number one saber expert of the Chaotic Sea Domain, it wasn’t an exaggeration. But now he had been defeated by Dugu Hao. Even though Jue Wuchen entered the Demon Transformation state, he still lost.
This was enough to illustrate their strength.
Dugu Hao was indeed stronger than Jue Wuchen.
"The inheritor of the Semi-Saint family lives up to his reputation, it seems that Dugu Hao has a very high chance of taking the first place in this Intersect Tournament."
"Yes, Jue Wuchen was strong enough and didn’t disgrace his title as the demon saber. It’s just that Dugu Hao is too outstanding."
"Not necessarily. Even though Dugu Hao seems to be much stronger now, Ye Xuan isn’t without chances of winning. It’s too early to say who will take the first place."
The onlooking crowd was stirred up with intense discussions.
"Ye Xuan, it looks like your opponent is no simple character."
Ling Qianxue also gazed seriously at Dugu Hao. The latter’s strength was indeed shocking. At least from the recent exchange, it was clear that Dugu Hao was undoubtedly the hottest favorite in this whole tournament.
"Mm."
Ye Xuan nodded slightly; this Dugu Hao was indeed the biggest rival in this tournament.
"How confident are you?"
Ling Qianxue looked at Ye Xuan and asked.
"Hard to say, this Dugu Hao probably still has some cards up his sleeve," Ye Xuan said lightly.
"What, he still has cards up his sleeve?"
Not only Ling Qianxue, but also Nangong Yao and Qin Qi all changed their expressions, feeling somewhat incredulous. Could it be that at this point, Dugu Hao hadn’t yet given his all? And without giving his all, he beat Jue Wuchen?
"Then aren’t you bound to lose?"
Ling Qianxue looked at Ye Xuan with some worry, but on his face, she couldn’t see a hint of concern, not even a trace of nervousness.
"That’s not necessarily the case. He has cards up his sleeve; don’t I have any?"
Ye Xuan shook his head. Cards up your sleeve are often kept until the very end. If others discovered them, they wouldn’t be considered cards up your sleeve anymore.
His biggest trump card, without doubt, was the soul power that he had elevated to the Heavenly Realm. Up until now, he hadn’t used it even once.
An hour later, in the highly charged atmosphere of the venue, the final battle of this Intersect Tournament was finally about to begin.
Ye Xuan signaled to Ling Qianxue and the others, then leaped up, directly flying onto the Battle Platform.
Across from him, fifty meters away, Dugu Hao was standing with his hands behind his back, having stepped onto the Battle Platform before Ye Xuan.
Following the referee’s shout, the ultimate showdown between the two began.
"I didn’t expect that, in the end, my opponent would be a peer of mine. I am very curious. Rumor has it that you have no background and relied solely on your own strength to get this far. I really admire that."
Dugu Hao would not underestimate Ye Xuan. The latter, with his Fifth Grade Martial Sect Cultivation, had fought his way to the final. Even Dugu Hao could only say that he was slightly better, and moreover, Ye Xuan did not come from a Semi-Saint family. It was precisely because of this that Dugu Hao was even more astonished.
"Some things are often not as simple as they seem on the surface. Enough talk, let’s begin." Ye Xuan’s face was like an ancient well without ripples, but his Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword was already drawn. Streams of blue sword light burst forth from the blade, scurrying all over the Battle Platform like ethereal pythons.
"Just as I desire."
Dugu Hao’s eyes sharpened as an overbearing aura suddenly exploded from him. This aura had not appeared before because the previous Dugu Hao had kept a low profile; nobody knew what his real aura was like until this moment, when people sensed this domineering fluctuation from his body.
"This aura makes one feel incapable of resistance."
"Dominance radiates outwards, this is the real Dugu Hao."
The fiery atmosphere swept over the entire venue in an instant.
Geniuses often are proud and domineering. Sometimes, they retract their own edge, but on this final battle, Dugu Hao thought there was no need to do so. In this battle, the victor would be king, and the loser a bandit. If one did not fight with all their might to decide the universe, there would be no more chances.
"This young man is truly worthy of being a Half-Saint Inheritor, he indeed has the aura of a king."
On the high platform, several Sect Envoys showed delight on their faces. They had not expected this tournament to bring forth so many promising talents. Among them, Dugu Hao was undoubtedly the most radiant, and at this very moment, the utterly domineering Dugu Hao gave them a feeling of elation.
"Ye Xuan, you will be the only person in this tournament who will witness my full strength. Are you ready to face me?" Dugu Hao’s presence was uncompromising, intending to intimidate Ye Xuan and induce a sense of fear in him, causing him to be restrained and ultimately defeated.
"Ready anytime."
However, Ye Xuan did not show any signs of fear, seemingly oblivious to Dugu Hao’s momentum, as if it had no impact on him at all.
"Good!"
Dugu Hao shouted loudly, and then he raised his right index finger, pointing it towards Ye Xuan.
Bang!
Ye Xuan’s footing on the platform suddenly burst apart, like a celestial maiden scattering blossoms. In the next moment, the shattered platform with its countless stones of various sizes centered on Ye Xuan, crashed heavily towards him, as if this "Finger Force" had gathered a massive gravitational field around him.
"Break!"
With a lift of his left hand, Ye Xuan turned the stones in front of him into dust, then he swiftly surged forward, arriving right in front of Dugu Hao and slashing down with his sword.
Boom!
Avoiding this strike, the "sword light" hit the spot where Dugu Hao had just been standing, also directly breaking the platform and carving out a deep crevice.
"Holy King Fist!"
While still in mid-air, Dugu Hao threw a punch forcefully from the void, and as he did so, a "dharma form" appeared behind him, which also threw a punch with ferocious force towards Ye Xuan.
"Dragon Desolate Wilderness!"
Ye Xuan’s body came to an abrupt halt, his left hand protecting his chest while his right hand stretched horizontally across the void, his fingers slightly parted, meeting Dugu Hao’s punch head-on.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang...
With every frontal clash between the two within a hundred meters radius of the "Battle Platform," the ground shook uncontrollably, adding more cracks to the platform, teetering as if about to collapse.
"This is too against the heavens, every move, so unstoppable."
"Two monsters, is this really a fight between the younger generation?"
The audience held their breaths, their faces flushed with excitement.
"It seems we really are getting old."
Liu Qinghe glanced at Jue Wuchen beside him, and then sighed shaking his head after watching the battle; for both him and Jue Wuchen, witnessing these two youngsters unleash their full potential was indeed a blow. These young men, when they fully erupted, were certainly a notch stronger than them.
"Is this the peak combat power of the younger generation?"
Zhao Xin, resting outside of the arena and healing his wounds, had gleaming eyes that betrayed no sign of injury, showing just how thrilled he was.
On the "Battle Platform," Ye Xuan and Dugu Hao had exchanged dozens of moves, neither able to prevail over the other, for each move they made was filled with immense power, almost perfected to the highest degree. Common techniques in their hands could morph into devastating attacks, catching their opponents off guard.
Fifty moves!
Eighty moves!
One hundred moves!
"You’re indeed my greatest opponent. How about you take this move!"
After a hundred moves without deciding the victor, Dugu Hao inevitably grew impatient. For a "Martial Sect Master," a hundred moves were almost the limit for an ordinary "Martial Sect" practitioner, and continuing the battle could very likely lead to complete exhaustion. But neither of them were ordinary "Martial Sect Masters"—although a hundred moves had been greatly demanding, they were still far from depleting their "True Qi."
For Dugu Hao, the championship was within reach. Just by defeating Ye Xuan, he could ascend to the top and claim the supreme honor of this tournament.
"Cloud Piercing Finger!"
Dugu Hao leaped into the air, his hands flexing rapidly, unleashing a series of huge "Finger Forces" that shot out like a meteor shower, tearing through the air towards Ye Xuan.
The incoming "Finger Light" rapidly approached, but Ye Xuan’s "Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword" had already preemptively moved to block. With a "clang," a crisp, almost deafening sound echoed, causing Ye Xuan to be forced three steps back.
Whoosh!
Immediately, the crowd below stirred, as in that last exchange, Ye Xuan was clearly at a disadvantage, which could be the prelude to determining the winner.
"With this move, I’ll defeat you, ’Demon Suppressing Saint Hand’!"
Seeing an advantage emerge, Dugu Hao quickly seized the opportunity, unleashing the same move that had previously defeated Jue Wuchen. He reached out with a "Big Handprint," bearing down towards Ye Xuan as if it could crush the entire "Battle Platform" into dust.
"Such ferocity in the assault, are we about to see a victor?"
The crowd held their breath, motionlessly watching the battle unfold on the platform, their eyes not even blinking.
The handprint in their pupils rapidly closed in, swelling in Ye Xuan’s vision. In response, Ye Xuan stood still, not moving an inch. Instead, he retracted all his aura, focusing all his spirit into his swordsmanship.
Ye Xuan’s movement was only momentary, and then his figure, like a swift fox, suddenly darted out. "Dragon Abyss Ancient Sword" slashed through the air without making a sound, and the sword light flashed by in a blink within the eyes of the audience.
"What is this?"
Seeing this, Liu Qinghe’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face in shock. The next moment, his expression turned quite complex.
"Strange, this sword move seems familiar."
Jue Wuchen beside him was also slightly stunned, then turned to look at Liu Qinghe.
"It’s a ’Sword Dao’ masterstroke."
Liu Qinghe let out a wry smile. The sword technique Ye Xuan had executed was none other than the masterstroke he had released during his own exchange with Ye Xuan—the masterstroke of the "Sword Dao."
This masterstroke of the "Sword Dao" was, by definition, the exclusive secret technique of a "Sword Dao Master." Ye Xuan, so young, could already perform it, which suggested that he now possessed the accomplishments of a "Sword Dao Master." This was truly terrifying.
