"Chi!" Huang Wenmo sneered and pointed his finger.
As soon as he finished his words, his expression changed and he said angrily, "What's going on?"
The narrow sword in Ye Chen's hand slowly stopped struggling. In the end, it became like an ordinary sword, not moving at all.
Ye Chen clenched his hand and sucked out all the strength in the sword. Then he injected his own strength into the sword and stored it in the sword. With a thought, the long sword started to dance.
"Eh?" Huang Wenmo was surprised. Looking at the flying sword dancing on its own, he didn't come back to his senses.
Just as he was in a daze, the long sword changed direction in the air and rushed towards him. The sword light was sharp and went straight for his face.
Huang Wenmo was shocked. He took three steps back and reached out his hand to slap the long sword. However, the long sword seemed to have a mind of its own. It twisted and turned in the air, jumping up and down. It was as agile as when Huang Wenmo fought with his enemies. Huang Wenmo was so angry that he couldn't move at will.
Seeing the long sword attack its owner in an instant, the audience was stunned. They had heard about Huang Wenmo's means, but they didn't expect to see such a scene today. It was really funny.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen did not delay any longer. His body moved like a beast, and his fist moved like lightning. It carried a fiery Qi as it charged at Huang Wenmo.
"Damn it!"
Huang Wenmo looked at the sword that kept harassing him and gnashed his teeth in hatred. For the first time in his life, he felt that the sword that he loved so much was actually so hateful. He stared at Ye Chen who was rushing over and said angrily, "Do you think that this young master only has this move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body flickered and he raised his palm. His whole body's Qi was boundless, and a gifted eye slowly appeared on his forehead. It was suffused with a faint cyan Qi whirlpool, which increased the speed of his Qi circulation. A hurricane slowly formed behind him, sweeping across the fighting stage and attacking Ye Chen.
"Tornado, explode!" Huang Wenmo looked at the hurricane and clenched his teeth. He reached out and clenched his fist!
Bang!
The hurricane suddenly exploded, and numerous wind blades flew in all directions with a terrifying cutting power, leaving black marks on the Battle Stage below.
Ye Chen's eyes were cold. He lifted his hand and pointed. "Flame Wall!"
Puchi!
Several pillars of magma burst out from the ground like fountains, surrounding Ye Chen and blocking the wind blades coming from all directions. As for Ye Chen himself, he took a step forward through the magma pillars and arrived beside Huang Wenmo. His cold eyes flashed with killing intent as he used the "Penetrating Fist"!
Penetrating Fist was one of the many fist techniques in the ancient martial arts civilization. It was considered a middle-grade technique and was suitable for a boxer to cultivate. It allowed one to circulate the strength of both arms into one arm, causing one's strength to double!
The muscles on Ye Chen's left arm wriggled and trembled slightly. His veins protruded, making him look extremely ferocious. As he punched out, the airflow between the two of them exploded, forming an arc of air!
Bang!
The sound of bones breaking was heard. Huang Wenmo didn't have time to dodge. He was punched in the shoulder and was thrown to the back of the Battle Stage with a painful groan. He fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone present was suffocated.
Defeated!
The most outstanding genius of the Heavenly Palace Island in the Six God Islands of the Internal Sea had been defeated so easily!
Ye Chen's physique had reached Level 3,200. With the Penetrating Fist, his strength had doubled, which was equivalent to a Level 6,400 attack!
However, this fist technique could only double one's strength, so it was not rare. For example, Tai Chi Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm were profound fist techniques from ancient Huaxia. They contained the principles of the universe. Once cultivated to the peak, one could even control one's own "Realm"!
Ye Chen's expression was ice-cold as he stared at Huang Wenmo. With a flick of his hand, he extracted the Vital Qi from the longsword. With a flick of his hand, the longsword's momentum was like the wind as it pierced towards Huang Wenmo.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Ye Chen to be so cruel and merciless. He didn't even let the defeated one go and wanted to kill him.
But soon, the long sword was stuck two inches away from Huang Wenmo's ear. It sank into the ground and the hilt was still trembling.
Huang Wenmo's heart trembled as he looked at the sword that had cut off half of his head just by moving slightly off. He looked at the figure on the stage with a complicated expression. After a long time, he let out a bitter laugh, put away his sword, and silently left.
The people around looked at his back and felt like a hero past his prime.
In the distance, the purple-robed elder looked solemn. He looked at Ye Chen's back for a long time. Then, he flew over and said in a deep voice, "The second round, Full Moon Island, Ye Chen wins!"
The whole audience cheered, mixed with some exclamations.
"Next, who is the third challenger?" The purple-robed elder looked around the audience. His eyes were calm, but there was a noble dignity in them.
Geniuses' resting area.
Everyone looked at the defeated Huang Wenmo and looked at each other. Although these people were quite conceited, they still knew that Huang Wenmo's strength was extremely strong. His reputation wasn't undeserved. And judging from Ye Chen's methods, they were afraid that he was also a ruthless character.
After a while, a brawny man stood up. He held his head high and looked straight at Ye Chen on the stage. He said, "I challenge you!"
His expression was calm and he was quite confident. He thought to himself, "You fought two rounds in a row and used up half of your strength. Even with Zi Wan and Huang Jian's strength, you are no longer a threat!"
Ye Chen's face darkened. Looking at the brawny man's arrogant appearance, he guessed the situation. His eyes couldn't help but turn cold. He knew that if he continued to fight, no matter how majestic he was, the people behind him would want to take advantage of him and continue to challenge him. In this way, no matter how much strength he had, he would use up all his strength!
Moreover, after the previous two rounds, he didn't dare to underestimate him. This competition had gathered the peerless geniuses of the 72 islands of the Xuanyuan Tribe. Every one of them had extraordinary strength or wisdom. They were definitely not simple characters.
Whoosh!
The brawny man's figure moved and rushed onto the stage. He looked at Ye Chen with a cold smile and said, "Let's start!"
As he spoke, he took out his weapon. As soon as the competition started, he immediately rushed towards Ye Chen without giving him any time to recover his strength.
Ye Chen had seen through countless people. He saw through the brawny man's intention at a glance. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp and cold. He didn't retreat. Instead, he took a step forward. The remaining sixty percent of his strength condensed in his palm. He raised his hand to the sky!
"Flame, God, Hammer!"
In Ye Chen's palm, it was as if a volcano had erupted. Flames burst out like silk and weaved into a round tower in the air. It was about a hundred meters tall and eighty feet wide. It was like a small mountain with an awe-inspiring divine power. It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"What is this!"
"What a majestic fluctuation of strength!"
"It's too terrifying."
The audience below the stage was dumbfounded. In the distance, Zi Wan, Huang Potian, and the others' pupils shrank as they looked at the round tower surrounded by a destructive aura. It was hard to imagine that this round tower, which seemed to be made of pure gold, was created by pure strength alone. The amount of strength was too terrifying!
However, in reality, although the Flame God's Hammer consumed a lot of strength, it was still within Ye Chen's range of endurance. He used this extremely profound energy attack mainly needed to arrange the order of the elements in the air according to "two-dimensional conservation". The process was extremely complicated. If there wasn't a guiding cultivation method, it would be like walking through a maze. In the end, he would suffer from qi deviation.
(Two-dimensional conservation: One of the pinnacle formations of the universe. It had been widely used by all kinds of energy attacks. Moreover, the rune power of the rune civilization used a few two-dimensional conservation elemental arrangements.)
Huang Potian looked at the soaring flames and was stunned for a while. Then, he looked at Ye Chen with a serious expression. Just this ability to control fire was enough to make him admit that he wasn't as good as Ye Chen.
With his eyesight, he immediately discovered that this round tower was not simply formed by the condensation of magma. Instead, it was formed by pure energy!
"What!"
The brawny man who rushed toward Ye Chen was shocked. He felt waves of burning pain on his skin. He didn't expect the temperature of the fire pillar to be so terrifying. He quickly turned and ran.
"Die!" Ye Chen's eyes flashed with hostility. With a wave of his hand, the round tower came crashing down with great power.
"No —"
The brawny man turned his head and saw the round tower expanding in his eyes. The pressure that came crashing down on him made his heart stop …
Boom!!
The entire stage trembled violently. Those who were close to the stage all felt the heart-palpitating tremors.
The eastern corner of the 300m wide martial stage had been smashed, and the towering flaming pagoda had also disappeared, leaving only a cloud of dust in its place ….
Everyone held their breaths and stared unblinkingly at the stage.
As the dust settled, a black figure stood there. His figure was tall and slender, like a javelin. When the last of the dust was blown away by the wind, Ye Chen's figure appeared before everyone, causing an uproar in the crowd.
Then, everyone turned their heads and saw a charred figure crawling on the ground not far away. His hair was as gray as rice. He looked quite miserable.
The purple-robed elder in the distance looked at the shattered eastern corner of the stage with a trace of shock in his eyes. Then, he moved and came to the charred figure. He bent down and saw that there was still life. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and say, "Quick, send him for treatment!"
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A few figures flew over from afar. They arrived in front of the brawny man, lifted him up, and flew him into the distance.
In the resting area of the geniuses, everyone looked at the unconscious brawny man and couldn't help but feel their hearts palpitate. Even if this brawny man was treated, his meridians would be damaged and his strength would be greatly reduced.
Ye Chen's expression was cold. If he didn't stop at the last moment, this brawny man would have been turned into ashes. However, if he killed someone, the Xuanyuan Family might be angered and it would bring some negative effects. It wasn't worth it.
"Who else?"
Ye Chen looked at the resting area of the geniuses and floated in the air. With a thought, pure Qi slowly flowed through the almost dried up meridians in his body, completely replenishing his exhausted Qi. In an instant, he was brimming with energy and didn't look like someone who had just fought a great battle at all!
The people below the stage looked at each other in dismay. Looking at Ye Chen who was still full of vigor, one of them pondered for a while and then gritted his teeth and rushed onto the stage. In the end, he was smacked down by Ye Chen's palm. The bones in his chest were broken and he spat out blood.
At this moment, the people below the stage no longer dared to act recklessly. People like Huang Jian, Zi Wan, Huang Potian, and the others were all aware of their status and did not want to take advantage of this situation. Moreover, even if they defeated Ye Chen while he was exhausted, Ye Chen still had two more chances to challenge him.
Therefore, after four consecutive battles, no one dared to go onto the stage.
