Chapter 2493 Champion Crowned!

"Slaying the Dragon?"

Upon hearing the voices of those younger generations, the paramount experts merely smiled and shook their heads, clearly dismissive... It was likely that only the older generation of Grandmaster-level peak experts would show some displeasure.

After all, being overshadowed by a young man in his twenties is not something a person of their age could feel proud about.

No matter if it's a blood-colored giant dragon or a silver giant dragon, they are merely depictions simulated by the True Qi of martial artists... Although this requires visualization or subjective conjecture to imbue the fierce beast's imagery with a touch of its aura, the fundamental difference is significant.

Just like these Supreme Realm powerhouses, each can reach the level of Qin Fang or Li Wuhua...

However, since they have never truly seen a divine dragon or fierce beasts with dragon bloodlines, their simulations of the "dragon's" aura may slightly differ, but given their strength, the beasts they simulate are even more ferocious.

Therefore, Qin Fang's little commotion wasn't impressive to them...

But for the young ones, it was a miracle achieved... At least until they reach the level of Qin Fang or Li Wuhua, they would always revere these two highly.

The blood-colored giant dragon was slain by Qin Fang...

Qin Fang fell from mid-air, though not too awkwardly, yet his pale face revealed his significant energy expenditure...

However, compared to Li Wuhua, who was lying on the ground, unable to move a bit, Qin Fang's state was much better.

At this point, the few paramount realm experts lifted the covering of the Gangqi Territory...

"I lost..."

Li Wuhua painfully squeezed these words from his mouth.

His face didn't show much sorrow, just a hint of regret... He'd used his most powerful killer move but ultimately failed to turn the tide, losing to Qin Fang.

Although Qin Fang wasn't in a great condition, not even able to hold his sword, Li Wuhua was worse off...

Puff~~~

After those words, Li Wuhua's face stiffened suddenly, and he opened his mouth, spewing out a massive mouthful of black blood... At the same time, his complexion turned dark cyan, and his aura became extremely bizarre.

"Little Junior Brother..."

Chu Feiyun ignored everything else at this moment. Seeing Li Wuhua vomiting blood, his face instantly changed, and he exclaimed in shock. Then, he immediately used the Shift Position Technique and was already on the platform in no time.

"Sigh..."

Compared to the nervousness, agitation, and worry of Chu Feiyun, the others merely sighed softly. They were naturally aware of Li Wuhua's grave situation now...

With his current Great Grandmaster-level cultivation, he had rashly used the Wild Dragon True Gang, meant only for Supreme Realm use, not to mention the forbidden technique of Bloodthirsty Wild Dragon, even risking his life and depleting his vital blood to use Bloodthirsty Furious Dragon Slash. It was akin to courting death!

It could be said that if Li Wuhua had only used the Wild Dragon True Gang, though side effects would be severe, there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger; he would just exhaust his true qi and severely harm his elemental energy, recoverable over one or two years.

But employing the Bloodthirsty Wild Dragon entailed a much greater price, potentially losing all his cultivation... Tianwai Tower surely had a way to save Li Wuhua's life, but his cultivation couldn't be salvaged.

However, what truly pushed Li Wuhua to the brink was his final depletion of vital blood to use Bloodthirsty Furious Dragon Slash... This move, though it slew Qin Fang's silver giant dragon, also pushed Li Wuhua to a dead end.

Now, seeing Li Wuhua spew a mouthful of black blood is where the side effects of overdrafting his strength and essence manifest...

Li Wuhua was not only Tianwai Tower's most outstanding disciple but also represented the hope of dominating the martial world for them for decades to come... He was also the most treasured disciple of Emperor Chu Kuangren, Chu Feiyun's junior brother!

For both public and personal reasons, Chu Feiyun couldn't remain calm at this time...

Moreover, Li Wuhua had already admitted defeat, so Chu Feiyun's intervention wouldn't be considered a violation...

While Chu Feiyun was fast, another was even faster, and given the close distance, they naturally reached Li Wuhua a step ahead of Chu Feiyun... swiftly extending their hand, aiming straight for Li Wuhua's neck.

"Court death!"

Despite Chu Feiyun's speed, seeing someone act even faster, his face instantly showed great displeasure. While shouting loudly, he simultaneously shook off his extremely violent Gang Qi, launching a furious palm strike towards that person.

The one who acted was naturally Qin Fang...

So Chu Feiyun would still be this angry... Li Wuhua had already admitted defeat, yet Qin Fang still refused to back down, seemingly intent on attacking someone who had already lost the strength to fight. Anyone would be furious under these circumstances.

Feeling the arrival of that rotund presence and sensing the terrifying Gang Qi emanating from them, Qin Fang's brows furrowed deeply... But instead of retreating, he acted even faster.

"Could it be that Qin Fang intends to annihilate his opponent?"

Many spectators witnessed this scene and couldn't help but be puzzled... especially Jian Qingfeng, Monk Wufa Wukong, and others. They all found the situation quite odd.

Yet at the same time, they were all worried for Qin Fang...

Chu Feiyun is a Mid-stage Supreme Realm expert, and now he was striking angrily. How could the already incredibly weakened Qin Fang withstand such a dreadful palm energy?

"Stop!"

But in this critical moment, suddenly, someone shouted out and moved swiftly in front of Qin Fang, simultaneously raising their palm energy to defiantly counter Chu Feiyun's strike.

Boom~~~

The terrifying palm energy of Chu Feiyun clashed violently with that of the newcomer, unleashing a storm of explosive force... The force rapidly expanded outward from these two as its center.

The full-force blow of a Supreme Realm expert is absolutely terrifying...

Even though the surrounding Paramount Experts reacted in time to release Gangqi Territories that offset a significant portion of the blast wave, everyone around the stage — be they Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters — was turned upside down, and many had blood trickle from the corners of their mouths!

As the center of the eruption, the stage endured the most intense impact...

Ugh~~

A shadow was struck hard by the violent blast, suddenly sent flying, unable to suppress the blood spurt from their mouth... Yet, before being blasted away, they courageously stood in front of Li Wuhua, blocking almost all the impact.

Otherwise, with Li Wuhua's currently weakened body, he might have been shattered to pieces by this force...

"Chu Feiyun, you old bastard, courting death..."

Now it was Qing Xu Lao Dao's turn to be enraged, shouting while turning extremely aggressive. His terrifying Mid-stage Supreme Realm cultivation thundered towards Chu Feiyun as if it cost nothing.

The person who had been blasted away was none other than Qin Fang...

Qin Fang had only just managed to defeat Li Wuhua and secure first place. Qing Xu Lao Dao hadn't even had the chance to celebrate before witnessing Qin Fang spewing blood and being sent flying... With his keen eyesight, he naturally discerned the severity of Qin Fang's injuries.

Having defeated Li Wuhua, Qin Fang's condition wasn't much better than Li Wuhua's, yet now he had suffered such a blow... Even though he wasn't directly hit by a Supreme Realm expert, it was still beyond what Qin Fang could withstand at the moment.

With just that, it's fortunate if Qin Fang doesn't die...

Li Wuhua is the future hope for Tianwai Tower, and Qin Fang is equally significant for Kunlun Sect.

How could Qing Xu Lao Dao stand by and do nothing, seeing Chu Feiyun lay hands on Qin Fang, regardless of the reasons, he only wished to avenge his disciple Qin Fang...

"Humph, do you think I fear you..."

After the palm exchange, Chu Feiyun, although failed to hit Qin Fang, saw Qin Fang being blasted away by the impact from his palm energy combined with that of Xue Wuchen, and was somewhat satisfied with the situation.

Especially noticing that Li Wuhua hadn't been affected by it, his heart eased considerably.

Seeing Qing Xu Lao Dao charging in with fury, Chu Feiyun's pent-up anger also erupted, and he immediately charged up... As mid-stage Supreme Realm experts, why should he fear Qing Xu Lao Dao?

"Stop! Stop! Both you old geezers stop right now..."

After exchanging a powerful strike with Chu Feiyun, each fueled by anger, Xue Wuchen, who had just defended against Chu Feiyun's heavy strike, found his breath somewhat disordered, taking a moment to calm it.

Unexpectedly, Qing Xu Lao Dao charged again, and with Chu Feiyun's anger unquenched, he clashed head-on with Qing Xu Lao Dao...

This enraged Xue Wuchen, who quickly rushed to mediate the fight...

Not only him, but several other Supreme Realm experts also joined in... They weren't helping in battle, but trying to break up the fight.

Because they realized the truth behind the scene from earlier!

Just moments ago, someone swiftly approached Qin Fang's front to inspect his injuries... Meanwhile, others attended to Li Wuhua's side, checking his condition and thereby uncovering the truth.

Xue Wuchen, with slightly better eyesight due to being closer, saw most clearly... which is why he intervened at the critical moment to help Qin Fang. (To be continued.
