Chapter 383: Chapter 384: Beize Yunzhuo VS Wudao
This single sword strike sought to soar through the heavens!
All eyes were fixed on Ye Wushuang. He had comprehended this very sword strike while watching the battle between Dii Qingxue and Liuu Tianlan.
The Heaven-Soaring Sword!
To comprehend a technique with such terrifying power—enough to defeat Liuu Tianlan’s most confident strike—simply by watching... how had Ye Wushuang done it?
The crowd’s curiosity grew. They found Ye Wushuang more and more unfathomable, to the point that he was terrifying!
THUD!
On the Battle Platform, Liuu Tianlan’s body arced through the air before crashing to the ground. Blood sprayed from his mouth, staining his disheveled hair. He was an utterly pathetic sight.
His cold eyes stared at Ye Wushuang, blood trickling endlessly from his mouth.
Ye Wushuang met his gaze, but there was no pity in his eyes. Earlier, Liuu Tianlan had scornfully crushed the Healing Treasure Pill Ye Wushuang had offered him.
In Liuu Tianlan’s eyes, Ye Wushuang was a nobody. Even after being defeated, he hadn’t taken Ye Wushuang seriously.
But only now did he realize that his confident, arrogant strike had been so fragile. It was a complete and utter defeat.
"You’ve lost. So this is your confidence? It’s worthless. And your swordsmanship is a far cry from what it should be."
Ye Wushuang spat out the words coldly.
Luu Tianlan’s body trembled, filled with resentment. Doubt began to fester in his heart. ’Is my swordsmanship truly that lacking, or is Ye Wushuang just too terrifying?’
Ye Wushuang wasn’t even a Sword Cultivator, yet he had comprehended a Sword Technique in a mere moment. With just that single technique, he had shattered Liuu Tianlan’s own, defeating him in the aspect of the Sword Dao where he was most confident.
Sensing the strange looks from the crowd, Liuu Tianlan was overcome with shame and humiliation. He didn’t dare to meet their eyes. His confidence, his Dao Heart, had been utterly obliterated by Ye Wushuang’s Heaven-Soaring Sword!
The spotlight belonged to only one person, and it wasn’t Liuu Tianlan. It was Ye Wushuang!
Luu Tianlan could only turn and retreat, his dream of taking first place completely shattered!
SHING!
The Ancient Sword returned to its sheath, and the Heaven-Soaring Sword Intent receded into Ye Wushuang’s body. Everything returned to calm.
However, the image of that graceful, effortless strike—the Heaven-Soaring Sword—was seared into the crowd’s minds.
The members of the Celestial Sword Sect were speechless; they didn’t even know what to say. The concepts of ’Sword Following Heart’s Desire’ and ’One Sword Slashes the Heavens’ were supposed to represent the pinnacle of the Celestial Sword Technique.
Yet, it had now been broken twice.
Worse, this final defeat was at the hands of the Heaven-Soaring Sword, a technique Ye Wushuang had comprehended from their very own Celestial Sword Technique. It was a vicious slap in the face. In that instant, a cold killing intent arose within the Sect Master of the Celestial Sword Sect.
Not only had Ye Wushuang killed Liuu Yifei, but he had now defeated Liuu Tianlan, infuriating the Celestial Sword Sect. Beyond that, Ye Wushuang’s monstrous talent was simply too terrifying, filling the Sect Master with dread.
A dread so powerful that he wished he could eliminate Ye Wushuang on the spot.
And he wasn’t the only one. The Demon Abyss Master, the leader of the Cyan Race, the Sect Master of the Fiery Sun Sect, and the heads of other Major Influences were all unnerved by Ye Wushuang’s monstrous talent. Cold, sharp glints flashed in their eyes.
The Ancient Spirit Sect already had Dii Qingxue; adding Ye Wushuang to the mix... they couldn’t begin to fathom the advantages the Ancient Spirit Sect would gain this time!
The Ancient Spirit Sect was poised to make a grand name for itself throughout the Endless Wilderness!
Of course, to the members of the Ancient Spirit Sect, Ye Wushuang had undoubtedly become a legend in their hearts!
No one knew Ye Wushuang better than they did.
And because they knew him so well, they were all the more shocked—to the point of numbness!
They had originally thought it would be an incredible achievement if the Ancient Spirit Sect could even make it into the top five. But now, with Ye Wushuang’s victory over Liuu Tianlan, he had firmly secured third place, far exceeding their wildest expectations!
Furthermore, fourth place was also set: it was none other than Dii Qingxue.
As for fifth place, that went to Liuu Tianlan.
Next up was Beize Yunzhuo. His only opponent left to challenge was Wudao!
Originally, he had planned to defeat Ye Wushuang first before vying with Wudao.
But now, he had no choice but to move this long-awaited battle forward!
The two of them would now fight for first place on this very Battle Platform!
It took the crowd a long moment to recover from the shock of Ye Wushuang’s sword strike. When they looked back at the Battle Platform, they saw Beize Yunzhuo had already taken his place.
The final showdown had arrived!
The highly anticipated final battle of the Barbarian God Battle Platform was finally about to unfold.
Tens of thousands of participants had entered the Barbarian God Battle Platform, starting from the Ninth Pass.
After enduring the Ninth Pass, the Barbarian God Battle Path, and the first round of eliminations, only twelve remained. And from these twelve, only one could emerge as the ultimate victor.
Only one person could claim first place, become the Strongest Warrior, and stand as the most brilliant and dazzling champion!
And only that champion could receive the ultimate prize: the Barbarian God’s Blessing!
Therefore, this battle drew everyone’s rapt attention!
RUMBLE!
Wudao took a single step onto the Battle Platform. Instantly, a storm brewed, Demon Clouds roiled, and a terrifying, suffocating aura began to spread.
First and second place would be decided between these two men!
"Who do you bet will win?"
"I think Wudao will win. He hasn’t even shown his true abilities yet and still has plenty of trump cards. He defeated Liuu Tianlan with ease. He has to be the final Strongest Warrior."
"I think Beize Yunzhuo is stronger. Rumor has it he can already manifest four True Spirit Divine Beasts! That level of Combat Power is terrifying, rivaling that of a seventh or eighth-layer Spiritual Spring expert. Who could possibly contend with that?"
The crowd was already buzzing with discussion, debating who would take first place, with arguments for both sides.
"And what do you think?"
Below the Battle Platform, Yunn Xiao asked Jian Bufan as they both watched the unfolding battle.
Jian Bufan watched calmly. "The outcome of this fight is hard to predict. Neither has revealed their full strength, so it will come down to who has the stronger trump card. Of course, when it comes to first place... everything is still up in the air."
’When it comes to first place... everything is still up in the air?’
Yunn Xiao murmured, not understanding the meaning behind Jian Bufan’s words.
Jian Bufan didn’t explain. Instead, his gaze shifted to Ye Wushuang. In all this, everyone had overlooked one person: Ye Wushuang!
Perhaps in everyone else’s mind, Ye Wushuang was destined for third place.
But Jian Bufan saw the ambition in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. ’That guy never fights a battle he isn’t prepared for. I’m sure he has his own plans... he wants to vie for the top spot too!’
"This is the final showdown! Once I defeat you, I will be number one. I will ascend to the pinnacle and become the foremost youth in the Endless Wilderness!"
Beize Yunzhuo’s Battle Intent surged as he watched Wudao descend from the sky. This was the battle that would make his name.
He would make his name with this single victory and become the number one prodigy in the Endless Wilderness!
The only opponents standing in his way were Ye Wushuang and Wudao. He paid Ye Wushuang no mind, not considering him a true obstacle. Wudao, however, was his greatest rival. Only by defeating Wudao could he bask in the glory of the pinnacle.
"I will be the one to take first place," Wudao also spoke, a confident smile blooming on his cold face. "And I will use my strength to make you understand that."
From the very beginning, the Barbarian God Battle Platform had been prepared for him. ’With me here,’ he thought, ’who could possibly snatch away first place and the title of Strongest Warrior?’
"Strength determines the victor. As for who will become the other’s stepping stone, we’ll only know once we fight. So, let’s battle!"
The arrogant voice echoed through the air. A powerful aura erupted from Beize Yunzhuo, soaring into the sky. Only battle could prove who truly was number one!
