“Hmm? He can still erupt?” Duan Qiu was astonished.
Clang!
A fierce collision erupted again, the power of their attacks pouring out.
From the seventh to the eighth turn of the Sky-Shaking Hand, the power saw a noticeable increase.
Yet, it still couldn’t turn the tide, there was still a gap compared to the power Duan Qiu unleashed!
“Lin Yun, you were still holding back? When you fought Zhuang Song, you didn’t even go all out?” Duan Qiu said in shock.
Then, Duan Qiu’s tone shifted, “But even with this eruption, you can’t change the outcome! You’re doomed to lose!”
As he spoke, Duan Qiu’s ferocious attacks continued to crush toward Lin Yun.
“Senior Duan Qiu, it’s too early to draw conclusions!”
“Shadow Sword Technique, Tenth Form, Sea Sword!”
Lin Yun’s sword surged forth, transforming into ferocious waves, sweeping up terrifying power, crashing toward the incoming thunder-lit hammer!
The tenth form of the Shadow Sword Technique, Lin Yun had never used it before, but with his deep foundation in swordsmanship, plus the insights gained from sparring with Zhuang Song today, he was confident he could wield it.
And he succeeded!
If the leap from the seventh to the eighth turn of the Sky-Shaking Hand wasn’t enough to shift the battle, then this eighth turn, combined with the tenth form of the Shadow Sword Technique, brought a dramatic surge in power, enough to change the game!
Boom!
As Lin Yun erupted, another fierce collision ensued.
The wildly violent power in his sword clashed fiercely with the hammer’s formidable force.
A terrifying shockwave surged, making the arena tremble!
Under the immense impact, both were forced back, neither gaining the upper hand!
“What? Lin Yun can still erupt!”
“It’s a draw!”
The clash sent the crowd into an uproar.
No one expected Lin Yun to reach such a level.
“It’s the tenth form of the Shadow Sword Technique!” Fire Cloud Emperor shot upright, staring at the arena in shock.
When Lin Yun unleashed the ninth form, Fire Cloud Emperor already thought it was extraordinary.
Now, he had unleashed the tenth form?
This left Fire Cloud Emperor utterly stunned.
Just how strong was his disciple?
Zhuang Song, the Little Sword Immortal, sitting in the stands, was equally shocked, “When he fought me, he held back so much power?”
This gave Zhuang Song a deep sense of defeat, Lin Yun didn’t even need to fully unleash his strength to beat him?
“With Lin Yun unleashing such power, holding out for ten minutes against Duan Qiu isn’t impossible! Could he actually set another record and pass the sixth stage?” the Lord of the Carefree Tower exclaimed.
Even the Lord of the Carefree Tower, the Master of the Taixu Tavern, the Kunlan Empress, and other bigwigs watched the arena intently.
“It seems Lin Yun really has a chance to last ten minutes, is this guy about to give us another surprise?” Vice Palace Master Yao stared at the arena below, his face full of shock.
Was Lin Yun about to achieve another triumph?
Xingwu Emperor, previously brimming with confidence, suddenly grew tense.
“How… how does he still have more tricks! He’s only cultivated for so long, how can his swordsmanship reach such heights?!” Xingwu Emperor’s eyes flickered, unwilling to believe it.
Given Lin Yun’s short cultivation time, Xingwu Emperor thought the ninth form was surely his limit.
Yet Lin Yun erupted again, the reality undeniable, forcing him to accept it!
On the arena.
“Lin Yun, you…” Duan Qiu, steadying himself, stared at Lin Yun in utter shock.
To end the fight quickly and knock Lin Yun off the arena, Duan Qiu had unleashed his strongest attacks from the start, holding nothing back.
Yet Lin Yun had pushed him back!
“Senior Duan Qiu, I said it’s too early to judge,” Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
Then, Lin Yun’s hands formed seals.
Heavenly Slaughter Killing Seal!
Boom!
Three seals instantly formed within Lin Yun’s body!
A blood-red light shot skyward, enveloping him, his aura surging dramatically!
The Heavenly Slaughter Killing Seal, Lin Yun could now easily form three.
“You… you…” Duan Qiu’s eyes twitched, his face changing drastically as he sensed Lin Yun’s aura shift.
Lin Yun still had more tricks? His earlier eruption wasn’t even his full strength?
Duan Qiu sensed a dangerous aura from Lin Yun!
“Senior Duan Qiu, now is the time to settle this!” Lin Yun grinned.
At the same time, powerful energy roared forth, pouring into the Silver Peak Sword, which glowed with blood-red light, emitting a terrifying, heart-stopping fluctuation.
Divine sense, profound mysteries, physical strength, Sky-Shaking Hand, all these techniques were channelled into the sword.
“Shadow Sword Technique, Tenth Form, Sea Sword!”
With all his power gathered, Lin Yun’s Silver Peak Sword blasted toward Duan Qiu!
Facing such a staggering attack, Duan Qiu’s eyes twitched, his heart shaken, but with Lin Yun’s attack coming like lightning, he had no choice but to meet it!
“Let’s do this!”
Duan Qiu roared, his inner energy surging, the hammer crackling with thunder, gathering even fiercer power as he struck back.
Under the gaze of the entire audience, the blood-red sword light and thunderous glow collided with a resounding ‘boom’ in a dazzling clash.
In that instant, the entire Bright Moon Platform trembled!
As the two lights met, their powers erupted like a volcanic explosion!
Duan Qiu’s face changed drastically, his body flying back uncontrollably, crashing off the arena with a ‘boom’.
Silence!
In that moment, the Bright Moon Platform fell into a deathly stillness.
“He… he…”
Countless eyes stared in disbelief at the slender figure on the arena.
No one could have imagined Lin Yun was this strong, to knock Duan Qiu off the arena…
Duan Qiu was a Mahayana Realm cultivator, ranked 65th on the Heavenly Deity List!
This stage only required Lin Yun to hold out for ten minutes without being knocked off to win, he didn’t need to defeat his opponent.
Yet Lin Yun had forcibly knocked Duan Qiu off the arena?
This scene exceeded everyone’s expectations.
