Chapter 60 - 60 59 Deciding the Outcome with Three Moves

60: Chapter 59: Deciding the Outcome with Three Moves 60: Chapter 59: Deciding the Outcome with Three Moves With Lin Xuan’s rise, the atmosphere at the Martial Arts Arena once again heated up.

Shangguan Liuyun vs Lin Xuan!

One was recognized as the number one of the Outer Door, while the other was an emerging young talent.

Which one of them would take the final championship?

The two stood more than ten yards apart, facing each other from afar.

Shangguan Liuyun lightly flicked his ring, and a purple long spear appeared in his hand.

Instantly, his aura transformed completely.

From his initial calm and restraint, he became so sharp he seemed unstoppable, the pulsing purple Spiritual Power almost piercing the heavens.

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, clutched his dark red great sword, not releasing any Spiritual Power, standing there calmly.

But to this point, no one dared underestimate his strength.

He was like a treasure sword; unsheathed it remained in anticipation, but once drawn, the scenery would change, drawing gasps of admiration from all.

“Lin Xuan, you’re worthy of me making a move,” Shangguan Liuyun said, “Between you and me, let’s decide the victor in three moves.

How about it?”

“Three moves to decide the victor?” Hearing this, the crowd below became thoroughly ignited.

Without even thinking, they knew that these three moves would definitely be of the ‘Absolute Kill’ caliber; it seemed Shangguan Liuyun was planning for a swift resolution.

“Three moves?

That’s exactly what I want!” Lin Xuan had no desire to prolong the battle.

As his words fell, Shangguan Liuyun across from him suddenly let out a low shout, the purple aura on his body flared violently, radiating a war intent that seemed to shake the very heavens.

Like a divine purple spear about to tear through the sky, Shangguan Liuyun’s aura climbed incessantly, with purple energy surging like a Demon King descending.

“What a terrifying aura!” Duan Fei, watching Shangguan Liuyun on the platform, had a face changing unpredictably.

Whoo!

Feeling this earth-shaking aura, Lin Xuan no longer suppressed the power within his body.

Pale golden Spiritual Power surged out, instantly covering his entire body.

Around him, the air suddenly became wild, countless golden arcs flickering in and out of sight, continuously roaming over his body surface.

“Thunder and lightning, it turns out to be thunder and lightning!” Lin Xuan turned out to have Attribute Spiritual Power!

At this moment, all the disciples stood up in shock, their eyes filled with astonishment.

On the Arena, Lin Xuan seemed like the Thunder God reincarnated, his black hair dancing, all enveloped in golden arcs, even his eyes dyed in gold.

“No wonder he defeated Jiang Yulong; it turns out he too possesses Attribute Spiritual Power, and it’s this kind of most volatile power of thunder and lightning.” None of these disciples knew what happened in the last moments of the previous match, but seeing Lin Xuan’s current state, everyone had a sudden realization.

Above the Arena, the two contenders clashed fiercely.

Purple and golden colors confronted each other, rubbing in the air and making crackling noises.

Boom!

The two energies collided, forming ripples that spread outward in all directions, with the two of them at the center, the nearby ground all turned to dust, and even some of the stone steps in the front rows shattered from the impact.

“Soul-shocking Three Stabs!

First stab, Vortex!”

Shangguan Liuyun bellowed, and endless purple Spiritual Power poured into the long spear, the air trembling with the sound.

With one stab, the wind and clouds stirred, like a purple dragon emerging from the sea, the momentum immense.

Faced with this formidable stab, Lin Xuan’s expression became solemn; this was the first time he felt a crisis, his body trembling slightly.

Not out of fear, but excitement.

Yes, excitement!

Lin Xuan’s eyes shone as bright as stars, a strong War Intent bursting forth from within him.

Like a golden War King, wielding the dark red great sword with the momentum of Wind and Thunder, he furiously met the attack head-on.

Boom!

Golden light flashed and collided fiercely with the purple long spear, emitting a thunder shock-like tremor.

The disciples with weaker cultivation felt as if they had gone deaf all of a sudden, unable to hear anything.

Above the purple long spear, a purple vortex brimming with endless suction appeared as if it would devour Lin Xuan—indeed, it was the move that had defeated Duan Fei.

“Thunder Move!”

Lin Xuan cried out lowly, and the dark red great sword suddenly overflowed with a bloody glow that resonated with the golden currents enveloping the sword body.

Layers upon layers of hidden strength surged towards Shangguan Liuyun like tidal waves, precisely countering the vortex’s suction force.

Shangguan Liuyun was startled, as he had not expected Lin Xuan’s seemingly ordinary sword to contain multiple layers of hidden strength, akin to the Divine Thunder from Above Nine Heavens, continuously accumulating power.

His Vortex Spear Technique was rendered ineffective for the first time.

Moreover, the golden electric arcs continuously infiltrated his Spiritual Power, releasing the Power of Thunder and Lightning which gave his body a numbing sensation.

“Humph!” Shangguan Liuyun shook his long spear forcefully, breaking off this round of attacks.

Both sides stepped back incessantly, warily watching each other.

After just one move, both seemed equally matched in strength.

The disciples in the stands were thrilled—they would not forget that it was this very spear move that had defeated Duan Fei, the second place of the Outer Door, yet Lin Xuan had calmly withstood it.

“These two, they seem to have far surpassed the other Outer Disciples!” A sense of loss rose in the hearts of many elite disciples.

The crowd could only see the outline but did not know what exactly had happened.

However, in Shangguan Liuyun’s heart, he knew that in the first exchange, he had lost.

Had he not managed to shake off Lin Xuan’s longsword in time, that golden electric arc could have penetrated his Spiritual Power defense.

“That golden electric arc, what on earth is it?

How could he possibly wield such terrifying Power of Thunder and Lightning?” Shangguan Liuyun couldn’t figure it out.

Such thunder and lightning, even among the Inner Sect disciples, no one could master, yet it had appeared in Lin Xuan’s hands.

Nonetheless, the idea of conceding defeat was absolutely out of the question for him.

Shangguan was very confident in his spear technique, especially the last two moves, which could secure victory even against the Seventh Level Spirit Warriors of the Mystical Realm.

“Second move, Purple Light!”

The eight-foot-long spear shimmered with flowing purple light, mysterious and unfathomable.

This spear move did not rely on bizarre power but on abnormal speed.

Quick, to the extreme—the kind of speed that left no time for reaction.

Even Duan Fei, who prided himself on his speed, was left with constricted pupils and a cold sweat as he realized he couldn’t dodge this spear thrust.

Lin Xuan only perceived a flash of purple Han Mang before the long spear, swift as a dragon, arrived in front of him in an instant.

“Speed, huh?” Lin Xuan’s lips curled slightly.

This Shangguan Liuyun’s moves were indeed very similar to his own: the first move utilized strange power, while the second showcased abnormal speed.

“Thunder God’s Fury!”

Lin Xuan’s longsword transformed into a swirling radiance of red and gold, clashing with the purple Han Mang.

“Hmm?

Blocked it?” Shangguan Liuyun changed color again.

If he conceded that he lost a level in the comparison of strength the previous time, he held absolute confidence in speed.

This spear thrust, which even Duan Fei could not evade, was actually blocked by Lin Xuan.

The tip of the purple long spear struck against the point of the dark red great sword.

Two different forces devoured each other and then dissipated.

This was definitely not a fluke—Lin Xuan also possessed abnormal speed.

Realizing this, Shangguan Liuyun’s expression turned extremely solemn for the first time.
