Chapter 220: Tyrant Blade Slays the Elephant
Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Tyrant Blade Slays the Elephant
In the arena, two masked men faced off from a distance, their auras clashing—one sharp and domineering, the other grand and imposing, the air faintly crackling with subtle sounds.
"Such a domineering sword intent."
Dongfang Mingyu looked at Qin Tian, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. He never expected that Qin Tian, who appeared calm and composed, would possess such an overwhelming sword intent.
Truly, one cannot judge a book by its cover.
"No wonder Yun hai recommended this kid, he certainly has some skills."
Dongfang Yue nodded silently, then said:
"White Elephant, it’s your turn."
"Alright!"
White Elephant’s voice was deep, and with a push of his legs, he shot up like a cannonball, landing heavily on the platform.
"Begin."
Dongfang Yue announced. In an examiner’s duel, there were no rules—defeat the opponent by any means necessary. No matter how severe the injuries were, with him present, it was not an issue.
As soon as he finished speaking, White Elephant charged forward like an armored battle vehicle, and his massive hammer, wrapped in earth-colored spiritual energy, swung up with a roar—that energy flowed over the hammer like solidified lava, reflecting a coarse metallic luster in the sunlight.
As he shouted and brought the giant hammer down, the compressed air howled like an elephant trumpeting, the airflow from the hammerhead even pressed Qin Tian’s stray hair against his mask, this strike was like an ancient titan wielding a mountain-smashing hammer to cleave chaos, with the momentum of a thunderbolt aiming straight for his face!
When facing a power type spiritualist, the most correct strategy was naturally to avoid their sharpness first, dodge using speed, then take the opportunity to attack their weakness.
However, Qin Tian’s choice surprised both Dongfang Yue and Dongfang Mingyu.
They saw him step forward, violent thunder erupted from within his body, and then he swung the Thunderbolt Slash towards the giant hammer.
He was actually going to take on the hammer head-on!
BAM!!!
A metal blast loud enough to burst eardrums erupted, as the giant hammer clashed thunderously with the battle sword, terrifying ripples of force spreading outward, the ground cracked with fine lines from their transmitted power.
The giant hammer and battle sword were stalemated in the air.
White Elephant’s arm muscles bulged, twice as thick as an ordinary person’s thigh, like gnarled roots. In contrast, Qin Tian appeared exceptionally slender, yet he stood like a pine deeply rooted in the ground, his body stable and unmoving.
In the power clash, Qin Tian was not at all inferior to White Elephant.
Seeing this, a trace of astonishment flickered in Dongfang Yue’s eyes.
He knew of White Elephant’s background—this person from the Silver Clan, possessing the Golden Elephant Bloodline, had thick skin and immense strength. Among peers, few could rival him in power.
Yet, Qin Tian, despite being a level lower, was not disadvantaged at all in a power confrontation with White Elephant.
Evidently, Qin Tian’s bloodline was anything but ordinary, possibly even a Golden Bloodline.
There weren’t many with Golden Bloodlines; he only needed a slight display of ability to discern which Golden Clan Qin Tian belonged to.
Clang.
The two separated.
White Elephant focused intently on Qin Tian, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected that this seemingly slender man would be no weaker than himself in strength.
Boom!
Earth-colored spiritual energy exploded, a phantom of a Golden Elephant emerged behind White Elephant, and even more immense power surged within him. He roared, swinging his hammer towards Qin Tian, the terrifying force creating sonic booms in the air.
Facing this strike, Qin Tian was not prepared to take it on directly this time.
Just now, he had already confirmed his power level. With the augmentation of the Barbaric Dominator Body and the Night Demon King, his power level was in no way inferior to that of a Tier Five power type spiritualist.
However, his strength wasn’t his only advantage; speed was equally his forte.
Crackle, crackle, crackle—
Lightning exploded at Qin Tian’s ankles, razor-sharp like the scraping of iron chains, his body streamlining close to the ground.
Lightning danced across the muscles of his calves, heating his pant legs to the point of smoking. In the next instant, he transformed into a stream of blue and purple light skimming the ground.
White Elephant’s hammer swung through empty air, stirring a strong wind, but only brushed the stray hair on Qin Tian’s shoulder. That streak of lightning slipped through the gap beneath his ribs like a serpent.
Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes—Thunder Shadow Flash!
As his low shout mingled with the crackling of electric currents exploded, the blade light from Qin Tian emerged from under his arm.
In the shrill whistle of the battle sword slicing through the air, White Elephant suddenly felt a chill around his waist—not pain, but a certain extreme cold thunder light instantaneously freezing his nerves.
He instinctively spun around swinging his hammer, only to see the earth-yellow Spirit Shield around his waist crack like a spider web. The scale-like defensive layer granted by the Golden Elephant Bloodline was forcibly cut open by a three-inch gap; the moment the dark red blood seeped out, it was sizzled into green smoke by the residual thunder light.
Boom!
The giant hammer heavily smashed into the spot where Qin Tian stood moments ago, the earth-yellow Spiritual Energy plowed the ground, blasting out a three-foot diameter pit, and spider-web cracks crawled outward.
That thunder light had already swept to the edge of the arena, the sword hilt spinning out half a circle of blood flowers in the palm, the breathing beneath the mask remained steady as ever.
White Elephant stared at the wound on his waist, the remnants of thunder light reflected in his pupils from Qin Tian’s sword.
The Golden Elephant’s apparition behind him uneasily pawed the ground, only then did he realize that the previous slash had astonishingly shattered the bloodline defense he prided himself on.
Fingertips brushed over the cracked scales, sticky blood mixed with faint electric light made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.
Such speed
Such domineering Sword Intent
One must know, he cultivated Earth Spiritual Ability Technique, renowned for its heavy defense, additionally, the Golden Elephant Bloodline granted him extremely strong physical defense.
Very few spiritualists of the same level could break through his Spirit Shield, let alone draw his blood.
So powerful, speed even far surpassing my own
This battle, becomes difficult
Boom!
White Elephant pressed forward to attack, the heavy twin hammers danced out shadowy hammer strikes, the Golden Elephant’s apparition behind him neighed, bloodline boiling, golden battle patterns emerged on his skin, granting him even more astounding power.
Clang clang clang
Qin Tian countered attack with attack, the ferocity of the thunder, the domineering Sword Intent, and the unparalleled physique granted by two Golden Level bloodlines, allowing him to easily cope with White Elephant’s ferocious assault.
The Dominating Blade Intent surged like ground fire, roaring within Qin Tian’s chest. When the Sword Intent accumulated to the seventh layer, cold lightning abruptly intensified in his eyes.
It’s time to end this!
Boom!
The green bricks on the ground shattered in response, a ten-zhang tall pillar of lightning rose around Qin Tian.
In the instant the battle sword slashed diagonally, the air was split with a sharp whistle, thunder light wriggled along the blade, gathering into a ferocious Thunder Serpent three zhang away.
The serpent’s head sprouted horns, bowl-thick electric arcs danced between its scales, within its gaping mouth even thunder-constructed barbs were visible. This strike carried the Seven-Layer Dominating Blade Intent, where the sword light passed, space rippled like water.
Celestial Punishment Nine Strikes – Serpent Bolt Thrust!
The Thunder Serpent detached from the blade, its body coiled with spiraling Sword Qi, resembling the Spear of Judgment descending from the nine heavens.
The lightning shadow in White Elephant’s pupils rapidly enlarged, the Golden Elephant scales on his skin instinctively erected, yet were unable to withstand the Murderous Qi contained within the Sword Intent—a pressure seemingly intent on completely obliterating his Bloodline Power, even causing his heart to skip half a beat.
Roar!
The Golden Elephant apparition deep within his Dantian suddenly raised its head and neighed, the sound waves caused White Elephant’s ears to hum.
He bit his tongue sharply, using the pain to dispel the fear in his heart, the muscles in his arms bulged like piles of rock, the earth-yellow Spiritual Energy on the giant hammer and the bloodline golden pattern exploded simultaneously, trying to gather a defensive barrier in front of him.
However, before the light shield formed, the Thunder Serpent already roared in with overwhelming force!
In the sharp sound of sword light tearing through the air, White Elephant’s pupils contracted sharply, he saw the barbs in the Thunder Serpent’s mouth suddenly expand, transforming into terrifying blade edges.
In the next moment, the domineering Sword Intent cut through the Earth Spiritual Energy like a hot knife through butter, the scale-like defensive layer granted by the Golden Elephant Bloodline sizzled into vapor in the thunder light, and the Thunder Serpent’s "fangs" viciously pierced into his left chest!
Pfft!
Blood mist mixed with shattered bone splattered out, a bowl-mouth sized wound burst open on White Elephant’s chest in an instant, the jagged ends of ribs charred under the thunder light, the contours of internal organs faintly visible.
The giant hammer slipped from his powerless palm, the clatter hitting the ground mumbled by the blood froth in his throat.
He looked toward his opponent in disbelief, the Golden Elephant apparition behind him emitted a mournful cry, disintegrating into light spots before vanishing.
The process of his body toppling was as slow as a movie, White Elephant could vividly feel the blood trickling along his spinal groove, the droplets hitting the ground still pulsed with unresolved thunder light.
His back crashed heavily onto the ground, and in his vision, his opponent had already sheathed his sword and turned away, Thunder Spiritual Energy flowing back into the battle sword, leaving behind a trailing serpentine electric afterimage.
I lost!
White Elephant coughed up a mouthful of blood froth, his gaze dimmed.
