The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2385: Chapter 2385: Reversal

Yan Qin’s attack was indeed extremely terrifying. Xu Yiming originally couldn’t withstand this strike, but after Yan Qin’s Divine Soul Body was attacked by the Soul Technique, the lethality of his attack significantly diminished. Under such circumstances, it became quite easy for Xu Yiming to block Yan Qin’s attack.

Moreover, Xu Yiming was also a veteran in slaughter and fierce battles. When he was in Faro Heaven, he was quite a well-known adventurer, often venturing into dangerous places to hunt the Ghost Pattern Beast. When he fought against Yan Qin, the timing of his Soul Technique attack was also very opportune.

The attacks of a Soul Cultivator are indeed terrifying, but to maximize the effect of a Soul Technique attack, choosing the timing is very important, especially when fighting against powerful cultivators with strong Divine Soul Bodies, timing becomes even more critical.

"Break!" Xu Yiming let out a shout, his body leaning forward, as he channeled strong Divine Power into his Magic Treasure, fiercely blasting forward.

Xu Yiming first shattered Yan Qin’s attack, then smoothly launched a counterattack.

This opportunity must not be missed, otherwise, it would be difficult to get a second chance, not only leading to a defeat representing Faro Heaven but also posing a threat to his life.

A Sword Light whirled on the Gambling Platform, closing in on Yan Qin’s body.

"What’s going on?" Manager Qi was dumbfounded: "This Xu Yiming actually blocked Yan Qin’s strike?"

"Not only blocked Yan Qin’s attack but can also counterattack!" Another manager was also puzzled.

Because the Gambling Platform was surrounded by an Isolation Array, they could only observe the battle with their eyes without truly sensing it. So at this moment, they only felt that something was off, but what exactly was wrong was still unclear to them.

"This... Everyone, look quickly, why isn’t Yan Qin reacting?" Manager Qi pointed at Yan Qin on the Gambling Platform.

Facing the Sword Light about to sweep in front of him, Yan Qin didn’t seem to make any defensive moves. Although the Divine Power on his body’s surface was still circulating, such a tiny amount of Divine Power could absolutely not withstand Xu Yiming’s attack.

"Something’s strange! This is definitely strange!" Several managers were staring wide-eyed at the incredible scene.

"Brother Yan, quickly defend!" A cultivator among the Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators shouted loudly.

Those with a discerning eye could see Yan Qin’s reaction was abnormal. It looked like he was about to be directly hit by the attack Xu Yiming executed. If he were hit, it would likely spell disaster for Yan Qin.

Some Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators also wanted to rush to the Gambling Platform, but the Isolation Array on the platform was something even ordinary Immortal Venerables couldn’t break, let alone the Immortal Rhythm Cultivators and ordinary Nether Sky Realm cultivators present.

On the other hand, everyone from Faro Heaven was visibly excited, some clenched their fists, their bodies trembling. If Xu Yiming could defeat Yan Qin in this wager, they could earn a huge profit, and life would be easier for at least the next few thousand years.

Just as Xu Yiming’s Sword Light reached in front of him, Yan Qin came to his senses, his Divine Soul Body still in severe pain, but his consciousness was restored. He felt the killing intent sweeping in and hurriedly urged his Divine Power desperately, trying to release his Defense Magical Treasure. The pain of his Divine Soul Body, he could no longer endure.

However, his action was still a step too late. As his Defense Magical Treasure just began to emit Defense Energy, the Sword Light was already embedding itself. The Sword Light fiercely pierced through Yan Qin’s body. Yan Qin’s body swayed slightly, emitting a muffled groan, and then his entire body’s Divine Power rapidly dissipated.

At this moment, Xu Yiming let out a long sigh of relief. Throughout this duel, his spirits were constantly tense. This Yan Qin was indeed very troublesome. Without the Soul Technique attack as a trump card, he simply couldn’t be a match for Yan Qin.

In fact, even with the means of a Soul Technique attack, defeating Yan Qin still required a bit of luck. Although Yan Qin was also not in the Immortal Venerable Realm, he was already very close to the Immortal Venerable level, and his Divine Soul Body was very strong. It could be said that in this duel, Xu Yiming only had one chance to use the Soul Technique attack. If this opportunity couldn’t defeat Yan Qin, the possibility of him being slain by Yan Qin next was very high.

On the Gambling Platform, Yan Qin’s body swayed once before slowly collapsing.

Yan Qin, died!

Although Xu Yiming didn’t necessarily want to kill Yan Qin, with the intensity of such a duel, his attack couldn’t possibly be reserved. If his strength were indeed superior to Yan Qin’s, he could afford to hold back a bit. However, his strength was inferior to Yan Qin’s, in which case, he naturally had to give it his all.

Of course, in the slaughter on the Gambling Platform, it was inevitable that deaths would occur. As long as you stepped onto the Gambling Platform, it meant you were prepared to be killed by the opponent. Although not every wager would result in death, the probability of death on the Gambling Platform was around thirty to forty percent.

In such a wager, the attacks from both sides generally wouldn’t hold back, as the outcome of a duel was too significant. Mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself, and it meant being cruel to the entire domain’s cultivators one represented.

"Victory! Lord Yi won!"

"Hahaha... I knew it, I knew Brother Xu could do it."

"This is truly wonderful! I bet a full fifty million Black Crystal Stones on this wager! Now it’s good, now it’s good!"

"Brother Xu is mighty!" The Faro Heaven cultivators were all somewhat incoherent.

Those cultivators who didn’t place bets looked somewhat regretful, with an expression of heartache. They didn’t place bets firstly because they lacked confidence in Xu Yiming, and secondly, because they still had quite a lot of basic resources like Black Crystal Stones, which could support them for a considerable amount of time, so they weren’t in a hurry to bet on the wager. Of course, the vast majority of Faro Heaven cultivators did place bets.

The formations on the Gambling Platform gradually stopped operating. Xu Yiming also walked down from the Gambling Platform, enjoying the praises from numerous Faro Heaven cultivators.

"Something is strange about this! This isn’t normal, with Brother Yan Qin’s strength, how could he be killed by that Faro Heaven mongrel?" A cultivator from Eastern Marvel Heaven shouted loudly.

His words were echoed by a large number of Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators. Although the number of Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators on this Heavenly Domain Flying Boat was far less compared to the Faro Heaven cultivators, the overall strength of Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators was very strong. Facing the more numerous Faro Heaven cultivators, they were not at all at a disadvantage.

"Lord Steward! Lord Steward!" Some Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivators shouted.

"What are you shouting about?" Several managers on the Flying Boat came forward, their brows tightly knit.

"Lord Steward, there’s an issue with this wager. That Faro Heaven mongrel couldn’t possibly defeat Daoist Yan Qin." An Eastern Marvel Heaven cultivator who looked quite aged and was an Immortal Rhythm Peak Cultivator said, cupping his hands in salute to the managers.
