Chapter 1338
Chapter 1338 Decisive Battle that Arrived Early
"Chu Qingyi is in the Void-refining Realm!"
"She's probably the true number one expert on the Earth Dragon List!"
On the viewing platform, Yan Bo and the others said in unison, "She really is in the Void-refining Realm. It's a pity that she's destined not to join our sect."
"Zhang Hanyang is going to get into trouble this time."
These people didn't seem to realize that they couldn't help sitting upright.
In terms of strength, they felt that Chu Qingyi was in the Void-refining Realm, and her strength was equal to theirs. However, her status was much higher than theirs.
Although the Zhenlong Faction was powerful and was also the largest sect in the Star Dragon Region, their headmaster had to be courteous toward the people from the Chu Family of the Astral Domain. It was the same even for the ordinary disciples of the Chu Family.
Many people had heard of the Chu Family of the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven. However, very few had seen them.
The status of the Chu Family was very high. If anyone were to possess some status in the Chu Family, even the Zhenlong Faction's headmaster would have to greet them respectfully.
That was why those on the stone platform were all optimistic about Chu Qingyi.
They didn't know whether she had broken through to the Void-refining Realm or not before. Now her powerful aura was announcing to the world that she was an expert in the Void-refining Realm.
How many trump cards would one have if one was from the Chu Family?
"Ah! Merciless Zhang has made it to the No. 5 ring!" Ye Longyuan cried, "The battle between him and Older Martial Sister. Oh my god, this will be a stunning show."
"I don't know who will win now." Yan Chen smiled bitterly and said, "On one side, it's the unfathomable Older Martial Sister Chu. On the other side, it's Zhang Hanyang, who has never lost before."
"Anyway, this will definitely be an exciting battle," Su Beimu said.
Actually, in their hearts, they felt that Old Weirdo Zhang would be able to win. After all, he had yet to lose even now. However, his opponent was Chu Qingyi. She was most definitely capable of contending against him. As such, the outcome of the battle was hard to tell.
They couldn't see through it, and their emotions were quite complicated. They were mainly excited, staring at the ring.
On Mengmeng's side, she cheered as usual.
"Finally, it will be an interesting battle."
Yue Wuwei touched his beard and finally became interested.
"Those little guys couldn't even resist one move by Zhang Han, which has no fun at all."
Now, a cultivator in the Void-refining Realm showed up. According to Yue Wuwei's detection, Chu Qingyi's momentum was very strong, which meant that she had definitely made a breakthrough after a long period of preparation. Such a cultivator was more powerful than those who were in a hurry to break through.
Chu Qingyi was a powerful expert.
Zhang Han's real cultivation was only at the early stage of the God Transformation Realm. He was about to fight Chu Qingyi. Yue Wuwei felt that things were getting very interesting.
Clatter!
The contestants in the rings around Chu Qingyi were slightly stunned.
"When did such a terrifying person appear among the contestants?"
The top ten contestants all had odd looks in their eyes.
Ye Qingchen took in a deep breath and let out a long sigh. He silently thought, "I originally thought that I would take the champion on this year's Earth Dragon List. I never expected that there would be such a terrifying person. Chu Qingyi..."
"No wonder she was able to kill me in the virtual city battle. It turns out that she's in the Void-refining Realm, and she's not an ordinary Shadow Refining expert. Judging from her momentum, she may be approaching the middle stage of the Shadow Refining." Alex sighed softly, and he had a lot weighing on his mind.
"She's so powerful!"
Long said in a low voice, "The champion is now settled, which is Chu Qingyi. Zhang Hanyang's consecutive victories are finally coming to an end. It's over. Everything is over. The ranking is basically set."
Originally, everyone thought that Ye Qingchen would be the champion, but the precondition was that there was no expert in the Void-refining Realm in the battle.
Ye Qingchen was truly powerful. He fought very well as a Peak-Stage God Transformation master and had incredible power. That was the only reason why he was publicly recognized as number one.
Things were different now. Now that there was a Void-refining Realm expert, why was Chu Qingyi so outstanding when the contestants were all under 40 years old?
These proud talents felt defeated in their hearts.
Swoosh!
In the midst of many discussions, the figure quickly got into the ring.
Ring No. 5 became the center of focus.
Many audience members were shouting.
"So this is the decisive battle!"
Ye Qingchen's brothers looked over. However, there were too many audience shouting, so they weren't their match in the end.
"Uh, the current situation is so complicated."
After the three commentators were stunned for a while, one of them said, "Now, Zhang Hanyang has challenged his way to the No. 5 ring. Whether he wins or not, Zhang Hanyang has become one of the top ten masters on the Earth Dragon List. There is no information about Chu Qingyi, but many people have just felt that she is a Dao Seeking Cultivator in the Void-refining Realm. Let's see what Zhang Hanyang will do in the face of a master in the Void-refining Realm!"
"Hey? The two parties haven't fought yet? This doesn't seem fit with Zhang Hanyang's character!"
"It seems that he did not expect his opponent to be a master in the Void-refining Realm."
"..."
The commentators got excited again.
However, the two people in the fighting ring still didn't fight.
They were just looking at each other.
Zhang Han's face was calm, and Chu Qingyi's eyes were full of playfulness.
A few seconds later, a harrumph was heard.
A cold snort came from Mengmeng's side.
It was Mengmeng's mom who snorted.
She was probably freaking out. "What are you looking at?"
Hearing her snort, Yue Wuwei's mouth moved, but he held back his words.
He would like to see how Zhang Han would resolve Zi Yan's dissatisfaction.
However, Yue Wuwei knew that the two people in the ring were accumulating strength.
Chu Qingyi came up like a storm. Her momentum of the Void-refining Realm was rising as if it was going to turn into a domain to suppress Zhang Han.
However, as soon as Zhang Han entered the No. 5 ring, he seemed to have turned into a sharp blade and made a gap.
The battle between the two had already begun when Zhang Han arrived at the ring.
After a full twenty seconds, Chu Qingyi knew that she couldn't gain any advantage with her momentum, so she gave up voluntarily and said lightly, "Interesting. It seems that you truly live up to your reputation."
As for Zhang Han, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
He looked at Chu Qingyi thoughtfully.
The imposing manner she displayed was very familiar to him. It seemed that he had learned it before.
Zhang Han thought about it because she had the Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art.
"Could it be that Chu Qingyi has also obtained several martial arts heritages of predecessors that share the same attribute as me?"
Zhang Han calmly replied, "It's just a little trick."
His attitude was puzzling.
Everyone was wondering, "In the face of Chu Qingyi, who is in the Void-refining Realm, why is Zhang Hanyang still putting on airs?"
"I'll let you make the first move this time." Zhang Han planned to exchange a few moves with her. Only in this way could he see if Chu Qingyi's martial arts heritage of predecessors had anything to do with what he knew.
"Aha."
Chu Qingyi sneered, "I could kill you in the virtual city, and I can also kill you here!"
Swoosh!
Clang!
Swoosh!
Chu Qingyi's figure flashed and she pulled out her long sword along the way. A sword light flashed past.
"Eh? Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike?"
Zhang Han narrowed his eyes slightly, put his middle finger and index finger of his right hand together, and cut out a horizontal Sword Qi, which was light red like a scarlet blood moon.
Rumble!
When the two rays of sword light collided, for a moment, the sky and the earth changed their colors, and the great wind whistled. Huge energy fluctuations passed through many layers of defense around the ring and were weakened a hundred times, forming a hurricane that swept in all directions.
"So powerful!"
"Zhang Hanyang, Zhang Hanyang is definitely in the Void-refining Realm!"
One of the commentators shouted in surprise.
"Yet another Shadow Refining expert has appeared!"
"Oh my god, Zhang Hanyang is also in the Void-refining Realm. No wonder, no wonder those previous contestants were no match for him."
"Two Shadow Refining experts versus each other. Who will be the stronger one?"
"The horrible fluctuations can be felt here. It can be imagined how intense the battle in the center of the ring is. Ordinary Elixirs will be killed in the aftermath of the battle."
The commentators spoke extremely fast, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the two people fighting.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
All kinds of sword lights whistled up.
Chu Qingyi's sword soon condensed an anomaly. Before the first sword radiance was dissipated by Zhang Han, a second sword radiance was formed at an extremely high speed.
Zhang Han remained calm. He waved his fingers casually and formed all kinds of energies to resist the sword strike.
Gradually, Chu Qingyi's sword strikes seemed to form a sandstorm. Her body floated more than ten meters in the air as she waved her long sword. Her figure was graceful and attracted countless eyes.
Zhang Han stood in the ring without moving his feet at all. He waved his hands and released streams of energy, which seemed to be thousands of red silk threads.
When Chu Qingyi's sandstorm sword light arrived, the thousands of red silk around Zhang Han's body suddenly condensed into a lifelike fire phoenix.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
At this moment, Mengmeng suddenly widened her eyes.
There was a special brilliance in her eyes.
"Fire phoenix!
"Isn't this the move Dad taught me?
"I didn't expect that he could make such a domineering and amazing move after practicing it to such a high level!"
At this moment, Zhang Han smiled slightly.
He was deliberately showing Mengmeng the ultimate form of the fire phoenix.
The upper limit of this occult art was very high. Even if he had reached the second or the third Tribulation Stage, he could use it as a trump card.
Moreover, Mengmeng cultivated fire and had the Dark Cold Fire. Zhang Han believed that the power of the Fire Phoenix Occult Art she performed in the future would definitely be stunning. If they were in the same realm, hers would be much more powerful than what he displayed now.
Clatter!
The moves from the two sides collided with each other, and violent fluctuations repeatedly appeared in Ring No. 5.
Beep!
The AI system in the ring issued an alarm. "Energy exceeding the limit. Energy exceeding the limit. The defensive layer of the ring has been enhanced to Level S."
"What?"
"Energy has exceeded the limit?"
"The energy of the fighting ring that can maintain the level of Void-refining Realm Early Stage has exceeded the limit? Could it be that either of them has already reached the middle stage of the Shadow Refining?"
"..."
The disciples of the various sects in the spectating area fell into shock once more.
"Aha."
Yan Bo snorted and said, "When have I ever misjudged someone?"
After waiting for a long time, the scene he had been waiting for finally arrived, and Yan Bo felt extremely happy in his heart.
He even laughed several times after he finished speaking.
As for others, they were embarrassed and didn't say anything.
"It's not a big deal that we have misjudged Zhang Hanyang. The more powerful he is, the happier we will be. At the same time, we must find a way to draw him over to our side."
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the outcome of the two powerful occult arts battling was finally revealed.
"As expected, Chu Qingyi is still superior!"
The huge sandstorm was reduced by 70 to 80 percent, and the remaining 20 percent was aimed at Zhang Han.
The Fire Phoenix Occult Art was dispersed just like that.
"The Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike is indeed powerful."
Zhang Han casually dispelled the remaining energy and sighed softly.
Chu Qingyi was indeed quite powerful. He thought that he could suppress her attacks with the Fire Phoenix Occult Art he displayed just now. However, he didn't expect that her insights into the Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike were pretty good.
"You know nothing." Chu Qingyi coldly harrumphed. "Don't think that just because you know of the Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike that you can understand everything."
"Is that so?"
Swoosh!
A sword appeared in Zhang Han's right hand. It was not the Seven-star Sword, but Zhang Han's aura had quietly changed as if he had changed from a fierce warrior to a swordsman.
However, compared to his imposing manner, what was more eye-catching was his words.
"The true Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike is not like yours."
"What did you say?"
Chu Qingyi knitted her brows.
When it came to the Treasure-loaded Taoist Lord, the master she claimed, she would always be a bit short-tempered.
"He also knows that move?" The crowd was bewildered.
Under everyone's gaze, the sword in Zhang Han's hand suddenly shook and then disappeared.
Hiss!
"What a fast draw speed!"
Ye Qingchen's pupils constricted.
He had never seen anyone draw his sword so fast.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
However, in Ring No. 5, Chu Qingyi's ears were filled with deafening sonic booms caused by the sword brandishing being too fast. Moreover, the sound became louder and louder. It was stunning, but at the same time, it was as if following a sort of nature.
All of a sudden, a layer of yellow clouds formed behind Zhang Han. Then, the second, the third, and all the way to the ninth layer of clouds. They overlapped with each other, forming a superstorm, which covered the sky and the earth, rushing toward Chu Qingyi.
"The fifth level of the Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike!"
Chu Qingyi's expression faintly changed.
There was a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
She wondered how Zhang Hanyang could perform the highest level of Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike.
Before she had time to think about it, Chu Qingyi immediately cast a defensive technique, sending her sword aura outwards to create a golden Bounded Domain.
It was like the arrival of endless sandstorms.
Wave after wave, they attacked Chu Qingyi's defense.
The yellow sand clouds, which covered the sky and the earth, were formed by sword radiance. They were formed by Zhang Han, but in the face of Chu Qingyi, they still had no effect.
Chu Qingyi was a talent at the early stage of the Void-refining Realm.
She was extraordinary indeed.
Her defensive move offset Zhang Han's Desert Flying Sand Sword Strike.
"Where did you learn it?"
Chu Qingyi stared straight at Zhang Han.
"You don't understand its essence."
Zhang Han shook his head slightly.
Chu Qingyi was so angry that she gritted her teeth and glared at him.
She moved again.
Her sword light flashed, which was completely different from the style just now.
The sword flowers seemed to turn into petals and fell from the sky. They were not fast, but there was a shocking crisis behind them.
She was displaying the Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art.
"Your Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art is not that good."
Zhang Han stretched out his left hand to the side, held the sword in his right hand, and pointed forward.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many petals formed at the tip of the sword. From bottom to top, they quickly rose to the air and collided with Chu Qingyi's Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art. A new round of confrontation had begun.
What surprised the crowd was that the blue petals released by Zhang Han completely wiped out Chu Qingyi's red petals.
It was like Chu Qingyi's attack was just a loser in front of Zhang Han's attack.
"Why, why is even your Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art at the fifth level?" Chu Qingyu asked in shock.
"It's not that difficult to achieve this, isn't it?" Zhang Han asked.
His words caused Chu Qingyi to be at a loss.
"How arrogant!"
"Humph!"
Chu Qingyi coldly harrumphed and flashed forward again.
This time, she performed the Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art again with the help of the occult art of her soul sense at the same time.
"Qing Ming Seal!"
Zhang Han casually formed the Qing Ming Seal to suppress Chu Qingyi's soul-sense occult art.
He made another sword move to break Chu Qingyi's Cloud Flowerfall Sword Art.
"How did you break my sword strike?" Chu Qingyi was slightly stunned.
"I have hundreds of ways to crack it," Zhang Han said.
"You're too arrogant!"
Chu Qingyi's beautiful face turned cold. "Okay. I'll use my full strength. Once I defeat you, let's see how arrogant you can still be!"
Bang!
Chu Qingyi's speed instantly exceeded ten times the speed of sound.
"Cross Slash!"
Swish! Swish!
Two simple sword lights made Zhang Han's eyes narrow slightly.
It seemed to be simple, but in fact, the two beams of sword light contained two kinds of occult arts of swordsmanship.
Generally speaking, this kind of move would be very ordinary, but the two sword lights suddenly turned into two kinds of occult art when they approached Zhang Han, which was very terrifying and very flexible.
Coincidentally, Zhang Han also knew this move.
