Chapter 431: A Terrifying Battle!

"Nothing is impossible! A spear's attack power is inherently strong, and Zhao Chengqian has comprehended True Intent. If I'm not mistaken, this move should contain all his insights on attack—it's no small matter. Of course, if I were his opponent, I wouldn't foolishly wait for him to stab me. In the end, Ji Qing is still at a disadvantage in terms of realm." Shangguan Lingyun said confidently.

"So, do you think Ji Qing can block this strike?" Shangguan Lingxue asked curiously.

"I don't know! I simply can't fathom Ji Qing's depths. Compared to Zhao Chengqian, he is a far more terrifying opponent, because you never know what surprise he'll bring next!" Shangguan Lingyun said gravely.

Although Shangguan Lingyun and Zhao Chengqian hadn't faced each other directly in a long time, having grown up together, they could roughly estimate each other's strength.

But Ye Yuan was different. From the moment he stepped onto the arena, his methods had been endless!

Soul attacks, Absolute Defense, Thousand Streams Flying Blossoms, Crescent Moon Slash—even the Xue family's ultimate technique, the Nine Transformations of Yuanling, Ye Yuan wielded even more powerfully than the Xue family head.

You never knew what outrageous move Ye Yuan would use next.

…

Suddenly, Ye Yuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

This scene startled everyone.

"What is Ji Qing doing? Has he given up resistance?"

"Maybe… he's preparing some technique?"

"Preparing my ass! Can't you see he hasn't mobilized any Yuan Power at all? The Seventh Prince's next strike is bound to be lethal, and he still hasn't activated a martial technique—isn't he just waiting to die?"

Seeing this, Zhao Chengqian was slightly taken aback, but it didn't stop him from continuing to build his 'momentum'!

The essence of Zhao Chengqian's move was 'momentum'!

He couldn't gather the momentum of Spear Shadow Kill and release it, but that didn't mean his understanding of momentum was a mess.

On the contrary, Zhao Chengqian was extremely skilled in comprehending momentum!

And thus, he had created this move!

The momentum of Spear Shadow Kill was too difficult to gather.

"Heh, knowing he can't dodge this strike, has he given up? But I won't go easy on him!" Zhao Chengqian sneered inwardly.

Just then, Ye Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a vast aura radiated outward from him!

"Are you forcing me to fight you head-on? Fine, as you wish!" Ye Yuan's calm voice reached everyone's ears.

That voice was so calm it felt unapproachable, as if Ye Yuan were from another world!

"Th-this is Heart Like Still Water! Yes, it's definitely Heart Like Still Water! A state of mind even Zhao Tianyin couldn't comprehend, and this kid has grasped it at the Crystal Condensation Realm!" Shangguan Wenrui, who had been calm all along, finally showed a look of shock.

"It's truly incredible. He's only sixteen. Heart Like Still Water—not one in a billion martial artists can comprehend it. How did he manage it?" Xue Hongfei shook his head and sighed.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Yuan slowly raised his palms from his sides. Two completely different Yuan Power attributes extended from his palms!

In his left palm, he held a small whirlwind, rapidly expanding into a wind dragon!

In his right palm, he held a small cluster of pale yellow flames, burning brighter and forming a fire dragon!

At this moment, Ye Yuan was frantically gathering the Yuan Power of heaven and earth!

Half-Step Sea Transformation only allowed him to mobilize a very small range of heaven and earth Yuan Power, but for Ye Yuan, it was enough to achieve an extremely terrifying level of affinity with it.

Ye Yuan entered the Heart Like Still Water state precisely to maximize this affinity and draw in more Yuan Power!

At this moment, Ye Yuan had staked everything!

Zhao Chengqian's 'momentum' was still rising sharply!

Then, Zhao Chengqian's momentum finally peaked!

"Overlord Roaring Cloud Spear—One… Thread… Sky!" Zhao Chengqian growled.

He thrust his spear, carrying endless heaven and earth Yuan Power, wild to the extreme!

Where it passed, sand and stones flew, and the entire arena was shattered by his strike!

At the same time, Ye Yuan pushed his palms forward, and two small dragons burst forth, instantly intertwining!

"Wind-Fire Blaze Dragon Transformation!" Ye Yuan roared.

As they intertwined, the two small dragons gradually merged into one, becoming a massive wind-fire dragon!

The great dragon roared and rolled toward Zhao Chengqian, emitting a dragon's cry!

Xiao Changfeng's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quick! Get back!"

Even without his shout, the crowd below had already sensed something was wrong.

The techniques of these two were too terrifying; once they collided, they couldn't imagine what would happen!

By now, the entire arena had turned to dust, and waves of air surged outward in all directions!

The VIPs on the viewing platform had long left their seats.

Amid the chaos, the two attacks collided!

"Boom…"

An earth-shattering explosion spread, deafening everyone.

A blinding light scattered like the sun, making it impossible to open one's eyes!

"Run! Ah!" A martial artist thought he was at a safe distance, but soon realized something was wrong and was flung away by the massive shockwave.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

…

Cries of pain rose one after another as martial artists were sent flying by the immense shockwave.

Such was the power of a single strike!

"Wh-what happened? What are those two doing? Ouch, it hurts!"

"Is this a battle between Sea Transformation Realm martial artists? When did they become this powerful?"

"What happened to those two? Who won?"

"I don't know! I can't see anything! That blinding light has lasted over ten seconds and still hasn't faded!"

Many squinted, trying to see what was happening inside the light, but saw only a vast whiteness, nothing else.

After a few more seconds, the white light gradually dissipated, and the first thing that met their eyes was a scene of devastation.

The arena had completely vanished, replaced by a huge pit!

In the pit, Zhao Chengqian stood with his spear planted, looking quite imposing.

Across from him, Ye Yuan had been blasted over ten zhang away, his clothes tattered and his body covered in shocking wounds.

Xiao Ruyan's eyes instantly reddened!

She tore off her veil and flew like the wind to Ye Yuan's side, helping him up as tears streamed down.

Ye Yuan's eyes were tightly shut, his face pale, looking extremely weak.

"Young Master Ji, are… are you alright?"
