Chen Yun consecutively resists Yuan Chu's big moves, making it seem like the other player is very "weak".
If even a medium-level mage's defense can't be broken, what else could be more "weak"?
Yun disciple and the group of swordsmen didn't think so.
They knew how powerful Yuan Chu was.
He once slashed the serpent, which was on the verge of becoming a dragon!
The water serpent itself is a very powerful supernatural beast, with the bloodline of a true dragon, capable of transforming into a ju (a type of dragon) after five hundred years.
That's why the water serpent, with its true dragon bloodline, is inherently strong and robust.
Yet even with such a formidable bloodline, it was still slain by Yuan Chu in one stroke. It goes without saying that the opponent is incredibly strong.
Now, as Yuan Chu unleashed his second strongest technique, the "Lu Zisu Sword," he was still unable to defeat Chen Yun.
That only means one thing: the physical strength of this young Taoist is still superior to that of the water serpent!
This is not the most critical matter.
The most critical matter is that it's obvious to anyone that if Yuan Chu can't break through Chen Yun's defense, he will surely be defeated.
Actually, only Chen Yun knows that his physical strength may not be as strong as the water serpent's.
The reason why he could withstand Yuan Chu's devastating blow was entirely because the latter was too focused on achieving "sharpness".
People who have studied physics know that the sharpness of a knife is determined by its edge angle, the method of edge making, and also has something to do with the internal metal structure of the steel.
The sharpness of a knife is directly related to the geometric angle of its blade. The thinner the blade, the smaller the cutting angle, and the sharper the knife.
The same principle applies to the big move Yuan Chu just released.
The opponent aimed for the ultimate sharpness, so the edge of the sword light was "thin," making it indestructible.
Chen Yun naturally understands this principle. He knows that although his physical strength is powerful, the Feiliu Yufeng he has cultivated only reaches the intermediate stage, and it is impossible for him to withstand such sharp sword light.
Therefore, he first cast the Bagua Body Protection Charm, allowing the most sharp part of the opponent's sword light to touch the Bagua mirror.
Because the sharpest part of the sword light is "thin," when it touched the Bagua mirror, it was shattered instantly, like cutting through vegetables. However, the impact of the two energies caused some wear and tear to the sharpest part of the sword light, making it thicker and therefore not as sharp.
Therefore, when the sword light shattered the Bagua mirror and chopped on his shoulder, its power could only be said to be ten percent of what it was.
Only one-tenth of its power, how could it possibly break through Chen Yun's defense?
Chen Yun understood it in his heart, but the others had no idea at all.
"That kid is a bit strange."
"Even with such powerful swordsmanship from our grandmaster, he can't hurt him?"
"Honestly, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes."
The group of swordsmen whispered among themselves, filled with astonishment and surprise.
At this moment, the young Taoist, Chen Yun, and the disciples and descendants of Yuan Chu began to worry in their hearts, fearing that Yuan Chu might truly be defeated.
However, they still couldn't believe that Chen Yun could defeat Yuan Chu in three moves.
After all, Yuan Chu was in the mid-level stage of an upper-level mage, while Chen Yun was only a mid-level mage.
As the minds of everyone were scattered, there was a new change on the battlefield.
"Ha ha ha." Suddenly, Yuan Chu let out a loud laugh, "I understand it now! I finally get it!"
Everyone looked at each other, puzzled by what Yuan Chu meant by this statement.
Chen Yun, however, couldn't help but furrow his brow and sigh, "Indeed, you've discovered the secret."
Yuan Chu's laughter died down, and he looked at Chen Yun with an incredibly serious expression, "If you don't want to die, I advise you to retreat back. I... I'm not really in the mood to kill you."
Chen Yun laughed lightly, "Even though you have discovered the secret, I still find it easy to kill you."
"Oh?" Yuan Chu lifted his green blade, his face shining with a brilliant smile, "Then I'll have to give it a try. But I can promise you that I won't take your life later."
Chen Yun remained calm and said, "I can't guarantee not to kill you."
Yuan Chu nodded slightly and said, "This is my last move. If I fail to defeat you, I will leave with my people immediately. Prepare yourself, I will beat you with one move!"
Chen Yun replied, "I'm ready. Go ahead and unleash it."
As they listened to the two "riddles," everyone was a bit confused, not knowing what meanings their words held between Chen Yun and Yuan Chu.
However, one thing could be certain: Yuan Chu's message was clear. He had discovered the secret behind Chen Yun's invincible physique, and he might break through the defense next.
And Chen Yun's meaning was equally clear: he intended to take Yuan Chu's life.
Originally, everyone was just curious to see how Chen Yun would kill Yuan Chu.
Now, there's an additional curiosity: how will Yuan Chu break through Chen Yun's defense?
Just as the curiosity of both prevails, everyone became silent and focused their eyes on the two people on the field, eager to know whether Chen Yun would kill Yuan Chu or if Yuan Chu would break through Chen Yun's defense and win the duel.
Yuan Chu acted out of character, throwing his green blade casually into the air.
The sword then plummeted straight down, and with a swift movement, it returned to its sheath.
"Hmm?"
"What's happening?"
"He's not going to use the sword?"
Dragon Girl Sanjiu, Gao Cheng, Xu Yang, and others were amazed beyond words.
Wu Kehou, however, exhibited a look of enlightenment and said, "I understand."
Kang Yuan also showed eyes that seemed to have just been awakened.
He immediately furrowed his brow and said, "He has indeed discovered the invincible secret of Chen's body. So, Chen is in danger."
Qin Ming's eyes showed worry. As an upper-level mage, seeing Yuan Chu's actions, he naturally also guessed the secret.
The young Taoist, Chen Yun, was the same. Her face showed joy as she turned back to her disciples and descendants, " Everyone, watch clearly. Yuan brother's next move will determine the winner, even... potentially kill the opponent!"
"Ah?"
"Will our master win?"
"I will watch seriously and learn a lot."
The group of swordsmen quickly widened their eyes, worried that they might miss the next scene.
Yuan Chu didn't say a word, only constantly mobilizing all his strength.
One could see that he was emitting a stream of Qi, releasing and condensing it into a few threads, filling the surface of his body, forming an oval Qi screen.
At first, there wasn't much movement.
However, as Yuan Chu condensed his strength, the enormous depression in the ground was filled with countless pieces of rock being attracted upwards, floating in mid-air, as if iron filings were being attracted by a magnet.
Chen Yun was also mumbling, but his speech wasn't fast, and his voice was incredibly soft, so much so that it was covered by Yuan Chu's gathering Qi's "hiccuping" sound, and no one could hear what he was actually saying.
In reality, only Chen Yun knew what he was saying, "The supreme Tao of the heavens and earth, the original root of all Qi...".
Right!
Yes, it's the opening two verses of the Golden Light Chant!
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed!
Chen Yun's body also emitted a large amount of pure Qi.
As soon as these pure Qi appeared, they shot straight up into the sky and turned into a huge column of Qi.
Almost at the same time, Yuan Chu let out a loud "Ah!" and the sword Qi surrounding him surged into the sky, also forming a column of Qi composed of sword Qi.
Suddenly, Wu Kejiu and Chen Yun's troops could all see two faint, rainbow-like columns of Qi, soaring straight up into the sky. Even the strongest winds couldn't blow them away.
These two straight, rainbow-like columns of Qi spanned across the heavens and earth, as if they were going to prop up the sky.
Kang Yuan let out a hiss, "The Qi is condensing and rising into the heavens, like beacon fires and smoke?"
Wu Kejiu also took a deep breath and said, "It's not surprising that Yuan Chu, an upper-level mage in the mid-stage, can do this. Chen Yun, just a mid-level mage, can actually Qi rushing into the sky like smoke? It's really...incredible!"
Qin Ming, Chen Yun, and everyone else present were somewhat shocked.
The smoke from burning wolf dung can be straight and reach as high as the sky, and no matter how strong the wind is, it can't be dispersed. That's why "wolf smoke" is used as a military signal fire that can be seen from a long distance.
And the "Qi" that cultivators explode, can be as powerful as beacon fires and smoke, condensed into the sky, this indicates that the strength has reached a certain level, needs very deep cultivation.
As Wu Kejiu said, Yuan Chu, as an upper-level mage in the mid-stage, expelling all his strength to condense and rise the Qi into the heavens is not a surprising matter.
But Chen Yun?
He can do it too?
This is an extremely unbelievable thing to everyone!
Just as everyone was slightly shocked, Yuan Chu suddenly lifted his head and his eyes turned white, as if there were sword Qi all over the eyes.
His voice also became extremely sharp, as if the sound of a sword unsheathing. "You should know that I'm not joking. Now, I have condensed all my sword Qi, and I will use the power to overwhelm you. Heavy sword, no edge; great skill, no craftiness. If you don't want to die, it's not too late to surrender!"
Chen Yun didn't respond, just let out a loud shout, and the pure Qi inside him surged again. He finally opened all his power!
The instant all the pure Qi burst out, the long robe on his body shattered abruptly, and the black hair on his head also exploded. His full head of black hair flew open, fluttering in the wind and dancing in his brain. His handsome face became icy, and the temperature around him dropped sharply. The clear light in his eyes surged into the sky at full speed.
An overwhelming wave of killing intent immediately spread outwards.
The world is filled with an aura of severity, and all things are silent.
Chen Yun, with the Golden Light Chant, is finally going to unleash his most powerful strength!
"Good! Good! Good!" Excited by the hunt, Yuan Chu applauded loudly and even reminded, "Little Taoist, receive my ultimate technique!"
As he spoke, he raised his hands high up and clasped them together.
All the sword Qi converged into one, transforming into a massive sword that was as big as a column.
The massive sword composed of sword Qi was several hundred li long and over twenty li wide, with a thickness of an astonishing four to five li.
What's even more shocking is that perhaps due to Yuan Chu's sword Qi erupting too intensely, the surrounding area of this giant sword suddenly resounded with "crackling" thunder and lightning explosions.
Indeed, arcs of dark purple lightning about the thickness of an infant's arm appeared around the giant sword.
Purple Electric Hidden Sword Technique!
This is Yuan Chu's most powerful technique!
This move is countless times more powerful than the "Lü Zhu Sword!"
In the past, when cultivating "sword technique," people sought the ultimate sharpness to obtain invincible attributes.
However, the Purple Electric Hidden Sword Technique is not the case.
It brings the "sword technique" to a new level, one of heavy sword without edge and great skill without craftiness.
This move relies solely on power to overwhelm others. No matter how exquisite your technique is, if your power is weaker than the one executing it, you will definitely be crushed into a pulp!
Just as the giant sword formed, Yuan Chu's clenched hands struck down fiercely, just like Kamaru using the "Divine Forgiveness of Dawnlight Goddess"!
A terrifying thing happened!
The giant sword, like the fallen Mount Wutong, struck down fiercely on Chen Yun.
The sky seemed to lose its support, and a lot of cloud Qi was swept away.
For a moment, the heavens and earth lost their light, and a powerful gale, as intense as a category 13 typhoon, plummeted from the sky.
The giant sword was still high in the sky at tens of thousands of zhang, but it seemed slow and fast as a bolt of lightning, causing people's liver and gall to split in fear!
The terrifying surge of Qi came down from the sky first, causing the earth to crack.
The underground water beneath the earth was also shaken to half-way in the sky, sending it fluttering and dancing towards both sides, creating a huge screen and gorge.
Such a terrifying and earth-shaking power made everyone speechless!
"Through countless eons of cultivation, prove my divine power!"
"In the universe, only the Tao is supreme!"
Chen Yun's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, "My body is covered with golden light!"
Golden Light Chant!
Facing Yuan Chu's fierce attack.
Chen Yun, without hesitation, used his most powerful defensive technique, the Golden Light Chant!
When he chanted, "My body is covered with golden light, enveloping me!"
Suddenly, a majestic and awe-inspiring glow of pure Qi erupted from within his body.
This pure Qi was as bright as the blazing sun of June, untouchable and inviolable!
The crowd only saw a column of pure Qi rise from the ground and strike fiercely at the descending giant sword.
At the same time, Chen Yun let out a loud "Jí"!
Just as everyone's attention was focused on the two terrifying energies about to collide when the ear was again filled with Yuan Chu's terrified screams, "Oh no! This time, I'm done for!"
Hm?
Hm, why did Yuan Chu say he was finished when the two energies haven't even touched yet?
Everyone was shocked and hurried to look at Yuan Chu to see what happened.
