Chapter 804: Defeating Man Tao!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The two figures clashed repeatedly across the arena.

Each collision created deafening explosions, but this time, Man Tao was the one being forced back again and again.

His aura began to shake.

His arms went numb.

Even the fused True Forms behind him began to flicker unstably under the constant impact.

Finally, Li Yun seized an opening.

He stepped in front of Man Tao in a flash.

Golden dragon scales shone brilliantly across his fist.

The full power of Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline surged through his transformed body.

The millionfold weight hidden inside him gathered into that single strike.

Then he punched forward.

Boom!

This punch landed squarely on Man Tao’s chest.

The terrifying force erupted in full.

Man Tao’s fused True Forms trembled wildly, then collapsed one after another. His body flew backward like a broken meteor and crashed heavily near the edge of the arena.

Before he could stand again, Li Yun appeared in front of him once more.

He raised his fist.

The golden dragon scales gleamed coldly.

The immense pressure of his transformed body and millionfold weight descended completely.

Man Tao looked at Li Yun, then let out a bitter laugh.

"I lost."

As soon as those words fell, the entire venue erupted.

No one had expected the battle to end like this.

Li Yun had not used his sword.

He had not used any Sword Intent.

He had relied purely on physical strength.

At the start of the fight, he used the eighth stage of Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture, Undying Origin Body, to test Man Tao in direct combat. With his millionfold body weight, he had gone toe to toe with Man Tao and gradually suppressed him.

Then, in the later stage of the battle, he activated Golden Ancient Dragon Bloodline and used Dragon Blood Transformation, causing his raw physical strength to soar again and decisively defeat Man Tao.

Li Yun slowly withdrew his fist.

The golden dragon scales on his body gradually faded, and the dragon bloodline aura slowly receded.

He stood quietly on the arena, his expression calm.

But everyone present understood one thing clearly.

If Li Yun could defeat Man Tao without even drawing his sword, then his true strength was far more terrifying than they had imagined.

"Li Yun actually managed to break through at a time like this."

"To break through using such a method. This guy is truly audacious, but he is indeed impressive to have actually succeeded."

"In the end, it was Li Yun who stood tall in this battle."

Li Yun’s comeback from the brink caused everyone to cry out in surprise.

After defeating Man Tao, there was no doubt that Li Yun had become the biggest dark horse of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.

Not only that, but after defeating Man Tao, as long as he won one more match against either Xie Wushang or the First Knight, he would be guaranteed a place in the top five.

From the strength he had just displayed, this was absolutely not a problem.

In other words, Li Yun would at least become one of the top five giants of this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.

Yet his cultivation was only at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm.

Even in the history of the Northern Territory Heaven’s Chosen Gathering, this could be called an absolute legend.

Even the Azure Emperor of the past had been at the 8th level of Heavenly Core Realm when he won the championship of his Heaven’s Chosen Assembly.

In this regard, Li Yun could be compared to the Azure Emperor.

Of course, the Heavenly Core Realm was still only the Heavenly Core Realm. Being strong at this level did not mean he would remain equally heaven-defying in the future.

Even so, it was already shocking enough.

"Do you think it is possible for Li Yun to challenge the three super-tier experts and enter the top three?"

Just then, someone in the crowd spoke up.

"Hm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people were instantly startled.

Up to now, only four people still maintained undefeated records.

They were Huang Tianlin, Luo Zhenting, the Wine Monk, and Li Yun.

Even Xie Wushang had already lost a match to Luo Zhenting. As for Huang Tianlin and the Wine Monk, it was almost impossible for Xie Wushang to defeat them either.

In other words, among all the participating geniuses, Li Yun was the only one left who still had the qualifications to shake the status of the three super-tier experts like Huang Tianlin.

"I still think it is impossible. Although Li Yun has repeatedly created miracles, he is still a bit lacking if he faces those three super-tier experts."

"That is right. Those three super-tier experts either have heaven-defying backgrounds, are reincarnations of great powers, or possess extremely deep foundations. Compared to other geniuses, they have an absolutely crushing advantage. Trying to shake their status is almost impossible."

"Exactly. At most, Li Yun will defeat Xie Wushang and rank fourth in this Heaven’s Chosen Assembly. As for going higher, there is likely no possibility."

"Even so, he is already considered amazing. After all, he is only at the 2nd level of Heavenly Core Realm. To reach this step is already a miracle."

Immediately, everyone shook their heads.

No one believed Li Yun could break into the top three.

After all, compared to the other contestants, the advantage held by Huang Tianlin and the other two super-tier experts was simply too great. Before this, it had been rare to even see someone last ten moves against them, let alone defeat them.

The next few rounds of matches had no suspense.

In the thirteenth round, Li Yun faced Monk Yiming, and Monk Yiming directly chose to concede.

He was not even a match for Old Ghost Wei, let alone Li Yun, who had defeated Old Ghost Wei. Actually fighting Li Yun would be a complete waste of time, so there was simply no need.

In the fourteenth round, Li Yun fought Su Zimo.

This battle also held no surprises. With Li Yun’s current strength, defeating Su Zimo was not a problem at all. It took him only a few moves before he defeated Su Zimo
