Chapter 1719: He Who Kills Will Be Killed

Xiahou Yun curled his lips slightly, revealing a sinister smile, and said calmly, "Then... come on!"

For some reason, Gao Shun's heart suddenly tightened!

He was frightened by that sinister smile.

Damn it, I'm only one minor realm below him, and my strength is outstanding even among fifth-level Divine Lords. Do I not even have the courage to strike?

No! Since I'm here, how can I retreat without a fight?

At worst, I'll just concede!

Gao Shun swung his longsword and shot forward.

"Yi Shen Heavenly Thunder Sword!"

Gao Shun's figure flickered unpredictably, moving at great speed.

Lightning crackled around him, his aura overwhelmingly powerful.

"Sword law fused with lightning law—Gao Shun is truly formidable!"

"It seems he dares not take Xiahou Yun lightly; he's unleashing a big move right away!"

"Looks like Gao Shun's strength is no less than Song Tianqiang's. Even if he can't beat Xiahou Yun, he can at least put up a fight!"

...

Seeing Gao Shun's strength, everyone was startled.

Earlier, no one had been able to force Gao Shun to reveal his true power.

Clearly, he was also a formidable existence among fifth-level Divine Lords.

At that moment, Gao Shun had already reached a hundred zhang in front of Xiahou Yun and fiercely thrust his sword.

The sword aura, wrapped in lightning, was terrifyingly imposing, heading straight for Xiahou Yun.

Xiahou Yun's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Only then did he slowly assume a horse stance and strike a punching pose, looking utterly clumsy.

"What is he doing? Isn't this too childish?"

"This Xiahou Yun really doesn't take Gao Shun seriously, does he?"

"Can that punch kill anyone?"

...

Xiahou Yun's move was something even a mortal could perform, and there was no fluctuation of divine essence or world power around him.

It looked just like a mortal fight.

At that moment, everyone began to doubt Xiahou Yun.

Was this guy not living up to his reputation?

Had everyone who conceded earlier fallen into a trap?

But offstage, Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened, and he felt a momentary suffocation.

"This guy is so strong! Gao Shun is in danger!" Ye Yuan's heart raced.

The crowd's thoughts didn't waver for long, because at that moment, Xiahou Yun had already struck!

As he threw a punch, everyone's expression changed drastically.

A terrifying power that made hearts tremble burst forth from Xiahou Yun's fist.

Everyone below felt as if their throats were gripped, their faces instantly turning pale.

Boom!

A loud crash rang out, and Gao Shun's attack was instantly annihilated.

Yet Xiahou Yun's punch continued unabated, flying straight at Gao Shun!

Gao Shun's pupils contracted; he wanted to flee, but it was too late!

"Ah!"

Gao Shun screamed in agony and was blasted into dust!

Xiahou Yun withdrew his fist and stood upright, sneering, "Too weak. Can't even take one punch."

Offstage, many stood dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

The referee, his expression slightly changed, announced, "Xiahou Yun wins! Gao Shun, defeated and dead!"

"So... so strong! Is this... the law of destruction?"

"The law of destruction is said to be the most offensive law. But isn't this too strong?"

"Gao Shun didn't even have a chance to concede!"

...

The contestants, their faces pale, were all terrified by the power of Xiahou Yun's punch.

Some were even trembling.

The impact of that punch was too great.

If Gao Shun had been some nobody, dying would have been nothing.

But Gao Shun was a very powerful existence among fifth-level Divine Lords.

One could say that, aside from Xiahou Yun, he was almost among the top three in this group.

Yet it changed nothing.

Killed with one punch!

In the stands, Jian Ping was almost jumping for joy.

He had never expected Xiahou Yun to be this strong!

But his expression suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This kid is too arrogant! Seeing how strong Xiahou Yun is, how could Ye Yuan still confront him head-on?"

Jian Ping was worried that if Ye Yuan conceded directly, his plan would be completely ruined.

Xiahou Yun stepped off the arena and walked straight toward Ye Yuan, smiling lightly, "Now, do you still want to challenge me?"

Ye Yuan didn't answer but asked instead, "You want to kill me?"

Xiahou Yun paused briefly, then laughed, "Interesting! It seems you're scared."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "It's Jian Ping, isn't it?"

Xiahou Yun's gaze sharpened, finally showing some surprise.

How did this kid know?

Ye Yuan looked at him and suddenly grinned, "I originally only wanted to fight you, but... I've changed my mind."

Xiahou Yun said, "Oh? So you're planning to concede directly?"

Ye Yuan shook his head, "He who kills will be killed. You, get ready!"

Xiahou Yun laughed upon hearing this, "Heh, are you joking with me? Do you think that just because you defeated that waste Song Tianqiang, you're qualified to challenge me? You'll never know how big the gap between us is!"

Ye Yuan glanced at him and said calmly, "You think too highly of yourself."

Xiahou Yun smiled, "Kid, you've got a sharp tongue! I'd like to see how you plan to kill me! The day after tomorrow, I hope you don't just run away."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry, even the Heavenly King couldn't make me run!"

Their exchange left everyone stunned.

Ye Yuan actually declared he would kill Xiahou Yun!

"Has this kid lost his mind? Didn't he see Xiahou Yun's punch just now?"

"His strength is strong, but only a hair above Song Tianqiang's, right?"

"What courage! Xiahou Yun killed Gao Shun with one punch, and he still dares to provoke him."

"Tsk, it seems another genius will fall the day after tomorrow."

...

Ye Yuan's reckless behavior naturally drew mockery from the crowd.

The battle between Ye Yuan and Song Tianqiang had clearly pushed him to his limit.

And Xiahou Yun's strength was far beyond Ye Yuan's limit.

The only one who could challenge Xiahou Yun was probably Jiang Nan from the second arena, right?

As usual, after three rounds, there was a day of rest.

Over there, Ning Tianping had also passed six rounds and was now a top contender for the championship.

After the match, Jian Ping immediately sought out Xiahou Yun and said reproachfully, "You were too impulsive! Now Ye Yuan will definitely avoid fighting!"

Xiahou Yun smiled, "Brother Jian Ping, he already knows."

Jian Ping's face changed, "He... what does he know?"

"Everything! This kid is interesting. I never showed any killing intent in front of him, yet he sensed it. And... he even guessed that you're behind it." Xiahou Yun said calmly.

Jian Ping's pupils contracted, "You're... joking, right?"

Xiahou Yun said calmly, "Don't worry, Brother Jian Ping. Not only did he not avoid the fight, but he also declared he would kill me. Heh, I'm... looking forward to it!"
