Chapter 536 - 536 535 Battle of the Saints

536: Chapter 535: Battle of the Saints 536: Chapter 535: Battle of the Saints The round of thirty-two ended, and the sixteen-strong competition immediately followed, destined to be even more spectacular.

Because those remaining were the elite of the elite, and there were even two Saints among them.

If there were no surprises, the final champion should emerge from these two Saints.

But with the results yet to be announced, everything remained uncertain.

It was possible that a non-Saint could defeat a Saint, just like Mei did.

When she entered the competition, she possessed only the power of the Peak of Mortal Realm but managed to advance step by step from among tens of thousands of martial artists into the top thirty-two.

Such an outcome was unpredictable for anyone, but that very unpredictability made the competition even more enthralling.

The results of the second and third-round drawings came out quickly.

The first match pushed the progress of the competition to a climax.

Because the first match was a battle between two Saints.

“Between the legendary Daylight Saint and Iron Crutch Saint, who is stronger?”

“No matter who is stronger or weaker, it’s definitely going to be a battle for the ages!”

The battle between the two Saints didn’t take place on the platform, but on the sea surface.

The destructive power of the Saints was too great; if they fought on the large ship, there was a very high likelihood the ship itself would be destroyed.

Both Saints walked on the waves, moving with ease as if on flat ground.

The azure waves that lapped towards them were stopped by an unseen force several meters away.

Too powerful, they didn’t seem human at all.

They were like divine beings from the legends.

“Kill!”

As soon as the match began, Iron Crutch Saint made the first move.

His body shot towards Daylight Saint like a cannonball, slicing through the water ahead and creating a chain of azure waves.

Steady as a pine, swift as the wind.

Clearly, Iron Crutch Saint wanted to close the distance with Daylight Saint.

After all, Daylight Saint’s weapon was a ranged combat weapon, and martial artists who used such weapons generally had slightly lesser close-combat skills.

If Iron Crutch Saint could get within ten meters of Daylight Saint, with the speed of a Saint, Daylight Saint wouldn’t have time to draw his bow, thus greatly increasing Iron Crutch Saint’s chance of victory.

On the other hand, if he could not close the distance and Daylight Saint employed his ultimate technique, Nine Dragons Daylight, shooting nine arrows at once, Iron Crutch Saint likely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

However, Daylight Saint was clearly aware of his own weaknesses.

The moment Iron Crutch Saint moved, he retreated explosively while drawing his silver War Bow.

Whoosh—the Arrow became a streak of lightning, shooting directly towards Iron Crutch Saint.

Iron Crutch Saint swung his iron crutch violently, shattering the oncoming Arrow.

He paused only slightly before charging towards Daylight Saint once more.

“Iron Crutch Saint is so strong, effortlessly blocking Daylight Saint’s strike!”

Cries of amazement came from the crowd.

At that moment, Iron Crutch Saint was like a motorboat skimming over the sea, leaving behind a long trail of spray.

Daylight Saint’s brow furrowed as he shot two more arrows at Iron Crutch Saint.

“Bang!

Bang!” The Arrows exploded upon Iron Crutch Saint’s defense again.

“Only fifty meters left.

If Iron Crutch Saint gets within ten meters, Daylight Saint will lose!”

“Daylight Saint, hang in there!”

The spectators were even more excited than the Saints themselves as they clashed.

A battle of this level was rare to see in a hundred years, so they did not wish for Daylight Saint to lose the match so swiftly.

Seeing Iron Crutch Saint drawing ever closer, Daylight Saint rapidly shot arrows.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh, one arrow after another flew from Daylight Saint’s hands, but none hit Iron Crutch Saint.

All these arrows, they all missed.

What was going on?

Could Daylight Saint’s arrows really miss their mark?

Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

Finally, Iron Crutch Saint entered the lethal range, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes as his speed doubled again, and he fiercely swung his iron crutch at Daylight Saint.

“It’s over, Daylight Saint is going to lose!”

Someone sighed internally, not expecting Daylight Saint to lose so quickly.

However, just as Iron Crutch Saint came within ten feet of Daylight Saint, his body seemed to be stopped by an invisible net, unable to advance the slightest bit.

“Something’s blocking Iron Crutch Saint!”

“It’s a net!” An astute observer discerned the clue.

That’s because red little squares appeared on Iron Crutch Saint’s body.

Those fine lines creating the squares, like the edge of a blade, actually cut into Iron Crutch Saint’s body, causing the Sacred Body to bleed.

Turns out, Daylight Saint hadn’t missed earlier, but had constructed an invisible net with Feather Arrows, which, in fact, were connected to invisible strands.

Daylight Saint’s mouth curved up slightly as he swiftly pulled a Feather Arrow from behind his back with his left hand and shot it straight at Iron Crutch Saint.

Boom, the Feather Arrow exploded on Iron Crutch Saint’s body like artillery, sending up giant, skyward waves.

The Feather Arrows were clearly specially treated, the tips filled with explosive material.

While this explosive material couldn’t directly kill a Saint, it could certainly injure one.

The moment Arrows hit Iron Crutch Saint, Daylight Saint rapidly retreated, once again putting distance between himself and Iron Crutch Saint.

As the waves subsided, Iron Crutch Saint’s figure was revealed.

By now, Iron Crutch Saint looked somewhat bedraggled; his clothes had turned into rag strips, and blood was flowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Yet this was still shocking enough; had it been a non-Saint, they would likely have been blown to shreds.

Fury gleamed in Iron Crutch Saint’s eyes as he hadn’t expected his impatience to have played right into Daylight Saint’s hands.

However, such a tactic could only work once; the next time, it wouldn’t be effective.

Iron Crutch Saint burst forth toward Daylight Saint once more, this time with even greater speed.

And the Feather Arrows shot by Daylight Saint could not stop Iron Crutch Saint at all.

Iron Crutch Saint was like an enraged bull, with each step on the ocean’s surface causing towering waves.

This time, when Iron Crutch Saint was still several dozen meters away from Daylight Saint, he smashed his iron crutch down.

Boom!

As the iron crutch hit the sea, it created a chain of massive waves that swept toward Daylight Saint.

Daylight Saint couldn’t dodge in time and was swept away by the tidal waves, his body instantly submerged by the sea.

Wave after wave, Iron Crutch Saint continued to smash the sea surface, immediately causing another huge wave to come crashing down.

Daylight Saint was tossed by the giant wave once again.

Iron Crutch Saint kept pounding the sea surface, creating endless towering waves that piled upon each other, relentlessly!

“Damn, is this the legendary power to overturn seas and rivers?

It’s too strong!” The audience was left dumbfounded.

Is this a Saint’s combat power?

It’s simply too terrifying.

If they’d been on a ship, it probably would’ve been sunk by now!
