Novel Full Chapter 332 - Outcome
Chapter 332 Outcome
In the skies, even Yu Shangrong who always remained calm despite the situation he was in found his forehead wet with sweat. His breath was becoming unsteady unlike before.
Yu Zhenghai was in a similar state. Sweat dripped down his arms. The rising sun cast its rays on the beads of moisture, causing them to glisten.
The Four Great Protectors were deeply impressed by what they had seen so far.
The two opponents seemed to have used up everything in their arsenals, and yet, there was no clear winner.
“Your Guiyuan Sword Technique is truly powerful!” Yu Zhenghai was not stingy with his praise. “I can say the same for the Great Dark Heaven Memorial.” Yu Shangrong managed a smile.
Hua Chongyang looked at this speechlessly. The two of them never relented on these perfunctory praises throughout their battle that lasted for three days and three nights. He was used to it by now. After the two of them finished praising each other, they resumed their fight. However, both of them looked exhausted compared to before. Even so, the battle between them was not something other cultivators could hope to match.
Hua Chongyang swept his gaze across Hundred Leaves Lake. The lake, which occupied an area of several miles, was completely destroyed. Lilac Mountain, which was nearly 100 feet tall, had crumbled. Ten mountains in the vicinity of Radiant Cloud Forest had been flattened. Wherever the energy blades swept past as their battle shifted, trees fell. There were also countless beasts on land and in the air that were indiscriminately killed by the energy blades.
The place resembled a forest after a great fire or a battlefield after a war. No place was left intact as far as the eyes could see.
Meanwhile, Si Wuya did not watch the battle in the air. Instead, he waited for it to end as he sat in the forest. He did not wish for his senior brothers to fight. However, at this point, he found himself slightly anticipating the outcome. As Eight-leaf experts, who was more superior? Would it be Eldest Senior Brother or Second Senior Brother?
In just a blink of an eye, four hours had passed…
Si Wuya did not continue to wait in the forest. He felt that the battle was decreasing in intensity. He knew it was nearing its end so he flew toward the direction of the battle.
Meanwhile, below the Nether Sect’s huge chariot, the Jasper Saber spun skyward. A supersized energy windmill crashed through the towering trees in the area, effectively breaking them.
Yu Shangrong moved at top speed. Left, middle, right.
Three figures flitted here and there. When the onlookers saw this, they felt as though they were in a dream. They could not see clearly.
Yu Zhenghai knew this was one of the sword skills Yu Shangrong was known for, the Return and Enter Three Souls. He shouted, “Break!” A circle of energy radiated from him.
Although this burst of energy looked simple, it was the greatest and most domineering skill of the Great Dark Heaven Memorial. As the energy rippled out into the surroundings, it merged with the Dark Heaven Starlight. The energy blade instantly enlarged and moved outward. With all his power inside his dantian’s sea of Qi, he controlled the Primal Qi of heaven and earth. With that, a tidal wave suddenly appeared!
Sovereign Descent?
Hua Chongyang shouted, “Activate!”
His Seven-leaf avatar appeared.
The other three knew what Hua Chongyang, and they followed suit, activating their avatars.
Four avatars shielded the huge chariot from below.
Boom!
The tidal wave rose up before falling again.
The energy wave was blocked by the four avatars.
Even so, the backlash caused the flying chariot to move up as though it was lifted by the wind.
The four great protectors’ faces turned red from the effort they exerted. Apart from awe, they were filled with respect and fear as well.
Si Wuya was halfway toward the battle when he felt the incoming wave of power. He frowned. “Drat!”
Bam!
Si Wuya crossed his arms before himself and conjured up his energy to shield himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Si Wuya reeled back, crashing through more than ten trees before he fell. Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth. He had no time to worry about this. He was glad this was just the aftermath of their attacks. He had used all his strength to defend against it. The injury he received was within a reasonable range. He wiped the blood away and continued on his way.
On the other hand, Duan Xing also saw the tidal wave of energy rolling toward them. He thought to himself excitedly, ‘The time to shine has come!’ He activated his avatar and formed a black barrier.
Boom!
Lu Zhou initially intended to block the impact with the Heavenly Writing’s extraordinary power. He did not expect Duan Xing to act so quickly.
With a loud boom, the flying chariot flew back… It resembled a ship that was being pushed back by the waves of the ocean.
Lu Zhou frowned. The cooldown period was almost over. He prayed that Duan Xing would not fall short of expectations at this crucial moment.
At this time, Yu Shangrong’s three figures vanished as the Sovereign Descent and the Dark Heaven Starlight attacked. Only a figure could be seen as he reeled back. As soon as he reeled back, he tossed his Longevity Sword.
Whoosh!
Yu Zhenghai, who was currently letting out a burst of energy, could not spare any of his power to defend himself. He could only widen his eyes and try his best to turn to the other side.
Whoosh!
The Longevity Sword slashed past Yu Zhenghai’s shoulder before it dove and stabbed into the ground.
At the same time, the Jasper Saber plunged into the soil with a thud as well.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong landed.
The entire place fell silent.
The battle had ended abruptly.
After an unknown span of time, both of them rose to their feet and faced each other from a distance. They no longer launched any attacks. The pride that was deeply etched into their bones would never allow them to be in a battered state.
There were hints of blood at the edge of Yu Shangrong’s lips. There was an angry red line on Yu Zhenghai’s shoulder.
Silence loomed over them as they smiled. Yu Zhenghai was the first to break the silence. He grinned and said, “The Enter and Return Three Souls isn’t what I expected it to be, to be honest.”
Yu Shangrong responded with a smile, “The Sovereign Descent lacks the confidence of a king.”
“You have no Primal Qi left.”
“You have no Primal Qi left as well.”
This was the issue. Who won and who lost? It was an awkward situation. None of them could say they were the victor.
The four great protectors were from the Nether Sect. They did not have the right to be the judges of this battle. There was only one person cut out for the job.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong both thought of the same person; Si Wuya. Speak of the devil. Si Wuya appeared in their sights. “Seventh Junior Brother, what great timing…” Yu Zhenghai said excitedly.
“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Seventh Junior Brother, it’s good that you’re here.”
“Greetings, Second Senior Brother.” Yu Zhenghai said, “Now… Who do you think won this battle? Is it Second Junior Brother or me?”
Si Wuya was at loss for words. ‘What does this have to do with me? Can’t you guys just fight and decide for yourselves? I’m only here to see the outcome.’
Yu Shangrong said, “Seventh Junior Brother, you can be honest… Who do you think is more skilled, Eldest Senior Brother or me?”
Uh… I think I’m going to have a breakdown.’
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were both eagerly awaiting his answer.
Si Wuya was an intelligent person. He quickly observed his surroundings and the conditions of his two senior brothers. Then, he said with a bow, “It’s a draw.”
“A draw?” Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong frowned at the same time
“Your Sovereign Descent has injured Second Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother. On the other hand, Second Senior Brother’s Return has injured you… Mhm, it’s a draw!” Si Wuya said with a straight face. He was inwardly proud of his own wit.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked at Si Wuya at the same time. They did not seem happy with the answer. Si Wuya frowned. He cursed silently in his heart. He might become the victim of his own ingenuity. He felt that he had offended them both!
Yu Zhenghai spoke with a slightly annoyed tone, “In that case, we’ll fight again another day.”
Yu Shangrong said, “I look forward to it. There must be an outcome between us, Eldest Senior Brother.”
Si Wuya was speechless.
Yu Zhenghai raised a hand. His Jasper Saber emerged from the ground and returned to his grasp. The Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard on Yu Shangrong’s back as well.
None of them would back down.
Yu Zhenghai looked at Yu Shangrong coldly before he flew into the sky back to his flying chariot.
Si Wuya felt that something was amiss, but he could not do anything. He could only look on as his Eldest Senior Brother left. After a while, he discovered there was something wrong with his Second Senior Brother as well. “Second Senior Brother, are you alright?”
