Chapter 384: Chapter 207: Instant Kill the Opponent! Trample Ling Ao! Affection of Zhi Yan!_2

It approached the extreme. In the world of martial arts, speed is unparalleled.

Such speed that even Suo Lun, when using time-slowing techniques, could neither defend against nor avoid.

Tuli Yang was right, he only needed one sword strike to kill Suo Lun, a second was absolutely unnecessary.

This was an absolute critical hit, even if Suo Lun were twice as strong, he couldn’t avoid Tuli Yang’s sword.

He was certain to die without a doubt!

Therefore, the heartbroken noble ladies didn’t want to watch; they didn’t want to witness Suo Lun die on the spot.

But now it was so quick that there was not even time to close their eyes, as death came suddenly.

...

However, Suo Lun stood still from start to finish, unmoving.

His sword remained sheathed, not even drawn.

He was gathering his spiritual power, as was Yao Xing.

The incredibly strong spiritual power, a Six-star Intermediate spirit master, coupled with an instant burst of spiritual power, could reach high-tier spiritual power attack levels.

After Tuli Yang finished the elegy, his eyes fixed steadily on Suo Lun.

Their gazes met!

Then, Tuli Yang launched an attack, merging body and sword, thrusting lightning-fast.

But at the same time, the formidable spiritual power that Suo Lun had gathered pierced through Tuli Yang’s eyes with a brutal critical hit!

Spiritual critical hit!

"Boom..."

Tuli Yang’s head, which was fully concentrated, suddenly exploded.

In front of him, a burst of white light flashed.

His entire head’s spiritual power suddenly burst open, losing all control.

His sword was half a foot away from Suo Lun when his mind went blank in an instant.

Simultaneously, Suo Lun struck with his sword, fiercely thrusting!

"Pfft..." Tuli Yang, with his small stature, flew over ten meters, crashing hard on the ground, blood spurting out, his body convulsing, his fate uncertain.

Almost at the same moment, a slight explosion sounded in the air, then like a gentle breeze, it gradually rippled outward.

A silence as of death fell over the entire field!

Unable to believe what they were seeing.

Wasn’t Suo Lun certain to die? Wasn’t Tuli Yang’s strike supposed to be fatal?

It appeared that Suo Lun had no power to fight back, right?

Why then, was Tuli Yang the one who was instantly killed? Wasn’t his martial arts and swordsmanship ten times superior to Suo Lun’s?

"This, this can’t be..." Gui Qinshu stammered.

"Bang..."

At this moment, Ling Ao, standing behind the crystal windows of the high loft, almost bit his lips until they bled, looking at everything with extreme shock and disappointment.

Suo Lun hadn’t died? He... he actually won against Tuli Yang, how could this be possible?

And Zhi Li’s gaze suddenly narrowed, a flash of anger passing through his eyes.

Why hadn’t Li Chenglian made his move?

This opportunity to kill Suo Lun was once in a lifetime; why did Li Chenglian not act?

In fact, Li Chenglian had acted!

The instant Tuli Yang made his move, he did as well, pointing a finger towards Suo Lun.

His finger’s Dragon Force Qi Sword was silent yet powerful enough to kill not just one but more than ten Suo Luns, directly blowing Suo Lun’s head apart.

At that moment, everyone would have thought it was Tuli Yang who killed Suo Lun, not Li Chenglian!

But...

At the instant he acted, another person did as well.

There was someone else hidden in the crowd, standing opposite Li Chenglian.

As Li Chenglian released the Dragon Force Qi Sword, she too subtly flicked her finger.

The two immensely powerful Qi Swords collided mid-air, completely cancelling each other out with merely a quiet pop, like a passing breeze that went unnoticed.

Li Chenglian immediately found those eyes in the crowd, transcendently beautiful like the stars.

He slightly bowed as a sign of respect, and she nodded in response!

Who was she?

Zhen Yan Princess!

Only Zhen Yan Princess could make Li Chenglian bow, because her status was on par with Zhi Li’s.

Suo Lun didn’t come to the banquet alone; Zhen Yan Princess, veiled and in disguise, was also hidden among the crowd.

It can be said that without Zhen Yan Princess, how could Suo Lun possibly have agreed to the duel? With Zhi Li present, Li Chenglian would inevitably be there, and Suo Lun, if he had agreed to the duel, would be killed by Zhi Li regardless of the outcome.

Only after receiving a definite response from Zhen Yan Princess in the shadows did Suo Lun agree to Tuli Yang’s duel.

But once the duel truly ended!

No words could describe the shock in the hearts of Suo Lun and Li Chenglian!

Suo Lun knew Zhi Yan was highly skilled, but he didn’t know how skilled she really was, likely similar to Nai’er since she was only twenty-five this year.

As for Li Chenglian’s skill, it was crystal clear to him.

He was Li Zhu’s adoptive father, and Li Zhu’s martial prowess was almost on par with Nai’er’s.

Li Chenglian’s martial arts might be slightly inferior to Gao Yin’s, but it made him one of the top figures in the Rage Wave Kingdom’s pyramid; there were no more than three or four people who could fight him on equal terms.

But just now, Zhen Yan Princess calmly said that even if Li Chenglian intervened, she could ensure Suo Lun’s safety.

And then, she did it, making Suo Lun almost wet himself in shock.

She was actually... that impressive!

No wonder Meng Tuoluo always breezes past the subject whenever Zhi Yan is mentioned.

And no wonder Grand Scholar Byron pauses every time he speaks of Zhi Yan, before also moving on.

Because this person leaves one utterly speechless!

Of course, at this moment, no one in the field knew that Zhi Yan and Li Chenglian had acted.

All they saw was Tuli Yang being instantly killed by Suo Lun.

But in truth, Suo Lun really had instantly killed Tuli Yang, while Zhi Yan only acted against Li Chenglian, not Tuli Yang.

Because she knew Suo Lun could easily eliminate Tuli Yang.

She spoke fewer than twenty sentences to Suo Lun, yet she already understood this man very well.
