Chapter 527 Top 5 in the Martial Examination

Even more shocking were the changes on the arena. This time, when the Demon Ape Evil Qi emerged, it spread fiercely like raging flames.

Su Yu’s white martial arts robe fluttered wildly in the wind. With every step he took, the blood-red Evil Qi rapidly encroached upon the arena that was previously covered in white frost.

SIZZLE.

The white frost hissed as if scorched by blazing flames, evaporating into a sky full of white mist.

To the nearby spectators, it was as if a blood-red Purgatory had descended. They envisioned a massive ancient Demon Ape slowly standing up amidst a boundless sea of blood. The faint metallic scent of blood even drifted past their noses!

In an instant, some Flesh Refining Realm Martial Artists turned deathly pale, unable to stop themselves from stumbling backward. The originally noisy and cheering crowd around the arena quickly fell completely silent.

“What is that thing? It’s terrifying! It’s all blood!”

“The Profound Frost Cold Qi was broken just like that? It turns out Su Yu already had a way to deal with it!”

“I saw a bloodthirsty Demon Ape. It’s too horrifying. Just how many people has he killed to form that?”

“Is this also a special bloodline? Or is it pure Evil Qi?”

Some people couldn’t help but exclaim in disbelief as they stared at the changes on the arena.

By erupting with the Demon Ape Evil Qi, Su Yu had rapidly turned the tide of the battle. Not only did he shatter the effects of the Profound Frost Cold Qi, but he also suppressed Wen Lichu.

“It’s pure Evil Qi, not Martial Force!” a Profound Bone Realm expert explained, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes. “The quality of this Evil Qi is extremely high; the Profound Frost Cold Qi can’t affect him at all! However, to accumulate Evil Qi of such quality, if Su Yu doesn’t have the support of a Cultivation Technique, then he must be extremely talented in comprehending Evil Qi!”

At this thought, the expert looked toward the white-clad man on the high platform—Jiang Wen!

He wondered if Su Yu had already defected to the Jiang family and obtained their Cultivation Technique. If so, he needed to take this person more seriously; regardless of the match’s outcome, he would have to prepare a generous gift and deliver it to him as soon as possible.

“Su Yu, your strength is truly unfathomable. To think you actually relied on Evil Qi to break my Profound Frost Cold Qi.” Wen Lichu forced Su Yu back with a sword strike, a trace of solemnity appearing on her beautiful face.

Now that Su Yu had unleashed the Ape Demon Evil Qi, Wen Lichu suddenly realized she was at a disadvantage! In just this brief moment, the upper hand she had carefully built up completely vanished. Her arm even went numb every time she blocked one of her opponent’s saber strikes.

Although her strength had never been her advantage, she was clearly two minor realms higher than her opponent!

A strand of Wen Lichu’s hair slipped down as a look of resolve filled her eyes. She knew she couldn’t drag this out any longer. Although she hadn’t accumulated enough Profound Frost Cold Qi yet, she had to unleash it all to decide the victor!

Having made up her mind, she circulated her Profound Frost Bloodline with all her might. Beneath her snow-white, jade-like skin, streams of freezing aura erupted within her bloodstream. Ice-blue light even surfaced from the bright red Qi and Blood inside her body, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet once again.

“Su Yu, take this move! Profound Frost Heaven Seal!” Wen Lichu let out a crisp shout.

The massive amount of lingering ice and frost on the arena rose into the air. As her sword light flashed, countless wisps of Profound Frost aura actually gathered onto her sword, faintly transforming into the head of a blue Ice Chilong.

The next second, she thrust her sword with all her strength. The lifelike Ice Chilong unleashed an astonishing roar, and an endless, violent wave of freezing energy erupted in all directions.

The wisps of dark red Evil Qi that Su Yu had left behind were frozen in an instant. A massive amount of blood-red ice crystals appeared in the air, drifting down like a sky full of blooming ice flowers.

“So strong! It’s the Profound Frost Heaven Seal!”

“I saw an Ancient Ice Chilong! This is terrifying!”

“I’m going to freeze to death! Get back!”

Many observing Martial Artists watched with utter shock. This attack was far too terrifying; it completely exceeded the standard of the Muscle Forging Realm. Even an ordinary Profound Bone Realm expert wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Up on the high platform, a hint of satisfaction flashed through Zhao Qingyue’s eyes. Su Yu’s sudden comeback moments ago had left him feeling somewhat embarrassed, but now that Wen Lichu had used this move, it was enough to secure her victory.

“The outcome is decided. Wen Lichu is worthy of sixth place!” he offered a timely critique, wanting to salvage some face.

Li Lishu set down the Military Books once again, eyes locked intently on the arena. Wang Jifan held a teacup in one hand, gently blowing away the foam, looking as if he already knew the outcome of the match.

Gu Changfeng wasn’t seated in the top ten area. At this moment, he was standing beside Li Ningcai, his tall figure standing out like a crane among a flock of chickens. He stared at the stage with burning eyes.

He wondered, “Brother Su, just how deep does your strength go? Show me!”

On the arena, Su Yu’s expression remained as calm as still water in the face of Wen Lichu’s incredibly powerful strike. Instead of continuing to increase the intensity of his Ape Demon Evil Qi, he summoned the Demon-Suppressing Black Stele from his Divine Sense.

BUZZ!

As the Demon Stele reflected by the Demon-Suppressing Stance appeared, Su Yu’s Demon-Suppressing Stance instantly transformed, as if it had been brought to life.

He didn’t intentionally try to control it. He simply gathered all of his physical strength into his right arm and thrust forward with an Extreme Realm Demon Slaying strike!

Yet at that moment, Mo Yuan underwent a sudden transformation. Within the dark red flames of the Evil Qi, countless streams of Demon-Suppressing Power merged together in an instant.

As the Demon Stele descended within his Divine Sense, this Extreme Realm Demon Slaying strike carried a terrifying Demon-Suppressing Power. Like a black sphere as heavy as a small mountain imbued with blinding speed, its lethal power was pushed to the absolute limit.

BOOM!

The dark red Mo Yuan shot through the sky full of frost like a cannonball, finally stabbing precisely into the center of the Bingli’s brow.

CRACK!

Cracks abruptly appeared and rapidly spread in all directions.

In just a split second, the lifelike Ice Chilong burst apart. Accompanied by a deafening rumble, it shattered into a sky full of ice crystals.

Wen Lichu only felt as if the sword in her hand had been violently struck by something. The immense force caused the Qi and Blood in her body to churn wildly. Unable to maintain her grip, the sword instantly flew out of her hand.

The next moment, as the sky of ice crystals fell around them, a scorching saber blade rested against her snow-white, jade-like neck, rendering her too afraid to move an inch.

With the battle concluded, the entire arena immediately plunged into silence. Only the falling white ice crystals, gleaming with a faint blue light under the sun, quietly landed on the stage and melted into drops of water.

The referee was also stunned for several seconds, completely not expecting the tide of the battle to reverse so quickly. He hurriedly leaped onto the arena and announced loudly, “Su Yu wins!”

The very next second, a tidal wave of boisterous uproar erupted. The majority of the crowd stared at the arena in disbelief, utterly dumbfounded.

“Fuck, Fairy Wen lost!”

“Damn it, Su Yu won! My money!”

“Impossible! Not even a Profound Bone Realm expert could withstand Fairy Wen’s final move, the Profound Frost Heaven Seal. It was even stronger than Lu Xu’s Heaven-Opening Line! How could Su Yu have blocked it?”

“This Su Yu is a true monster! A kid from the Outer City consecutively defeated two Great Dragon Tendon experts from the Inner City and actually made it into the top five of the Martial Examination!”

“Holy shit, the Outer City has produced a freak! Don’t you all forget Su Yu’s Realm—Little Dragon Tendon!”

In stark contrast to the uproar and disbelief of the many Inner City Martial Artists, the spectators from the Outer City loudly cheered and chanted Su Yu’s name.

The disciples of the White Ape Martial Arts Hall, in particular, were indescribably excited and proud. Their senior brother had entered the top five of the entire city’s Martial Examination—something they previously wouldn’t have even dared to imagine!

Joy flashed through the eyes of Yang Ai, Lin Wanzhu, and the others. Yang Ai, especially, wished she could run up there right now and give Su Yu a massive hug.

However, Yang Zhen remained exceptionally calm, merely offering a faint smile.

She thought, “This is only the top five of the Martial Examination. Just wait until Brother Su actually seizes first place—you’ll all probably go crazy with joy.

“And all those Inner City factions will definitely be completely shaken to their core by Brother Su!”
