Chapter 126: One Move

  Chen Xuan walked down from the arena, having already achieved three consecutive victories. In his previous battle against Feng Ling, Chen Xuan only used six percent of his strength. He didn't want to be too brutal with a woman, so he simply knocked her off the arena with one slash. Besides, at this point, he could still defeat some Half-Step True Martial artists with just his fists alone. His sinister final killing move was his trump card.

  Other matches have also ended, and Qian Kun's opponent is Ding Er. There is no doubt that Ding Er has lost again this time. Adding to the severe loss of spiritual energy in the previous match, he was knocked off the arena by Qian Kun without even making ten moves. Fei Yan also won, his Flowing Light Arrow completely suppressing Xuan Yuan Li's big knife. Xiao Qiuyu also defeated her opponent, Qin Huo. Yu Shuqiang, who was beaten to vomiting blood by Qian Kun in the previous match, surprisingly won against Li Cheng this time. Except for Chen Xuan, Qian Kun, Xiao Qiuyu, and Fei Yan, all four of whom have won three matches in a row, everyone else has lost several matches.

  In the blink of an eye, half a time unit had passed, and ten people stood up in this station. The fourth match was about to begin, and Chen Xuan quickly jumped onto the stage again. Every time Chen Xuan chose this stage, he waited for his opponent to come on stage. Suddenly, footsteps echoed from below the stage, and a tall man stepped out, walking step by step, making loud thudding sounds with each step. It was Yu Shuqiang. Before Yu's figure even appeared, Chen Xuan had already guessed who his opponent would be. Yu Shuqiang stood at an astonishing nine feet tall, with a sturdy build that made him appear even more towering. Chen Xuan also remembered this Yu Shuqiang from the Tianmo battlefield, where he was one of the people surrounding and attacking Moke along with Qian Kun and others. He wielded a pair of Flowing Star Hammers, losing to Qian Kun in the first match but defeating Li Cheng in the previous match. This time, he stepped onto the stage with an intense fighting spirit. After more than ten breaths, Yu Shuqiang strode powerfully to within five meters of Chen Xuan, his massive hammers gleaming brightly in his hands. Just by looking at this person's build, it was clear that these massive hammers were incredibly heavy, even larger than the pair wielded by Fengzi, the opponent from the previous match in the knockout tournament.

  "You're not bad, but since you've met me, it's time to end this. It wasn't easy for you to make it this far, so let me be the one to finish you off. Draw your weapon, five moves, and I'll defeat you." Yu Shuqiang called out a number, astonishingly claiming he could defeat Chen Xuan in just five moves. As he spoke, he shook the pair of Flowing Star Hammers in his hand, causing the iron chains on the hammers to rattle loudly.

  "Big words, thinking of five moves to defeat me? I'll give you fifty moves and you still can't defeat me. If you can say that you can defeat me in five moves, then I'll make it easy for you. If I can't defeat you within five moves, I lose. Let's see who can defeat the other in five moves." Chen Xuan said with an even more overbearing tone than Yu Shuqiang.

  "Looking for death? You dare to say that you can defeat me with just five moves? Well, today I'll thoroughly thrash you first, and then let you roll off the stage," Yu Shuqiang angrily shouted.

  "Cut the crap, you think you can bully me? Let's see if you have what it takes. Come on!" Chen Xuan stood with his knife at the ready, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light as he pointed at the sky. His demeanor changed in an instant, and the surroundings erupted into chaos. With a hint of anger, Chen Xuan drew out his sinister aura and shouted at Shu Qiang.

  "You think you've won against a few disciples who were ahead of you, and now you're looking down on everyone? I'm not one of those disciples who can't even make it to the top five. You're dead for sure, today I'll throw you off this stage and let you taste what it's like to be beaten by someone." As soon as he finished speaking, he began to attack Chen Xuan, a Flowing Star Fist quickly leaving his hand, swift as a shooting star, covering the five-meter distance in the blink of an eye.

  Since you made the first move, I won't be polite. Chen Xuan didn't retreat, but instead took a step forward. The evil charm in his hand also moved, slashing diagonally with a "ting" sound. The evil charm struck Yu Shuqiang's Flowing Star Hammer, sending sparks flying everywhere. Yu Shuqiang's Flowing Star Hammer was directly knocked flying by Chen Xuan's evil charm and flew towards Chen Xuan's side.

  At this moment, Yu Shuqiang's other meteor hammer arrived in the blink of an eye, and this time it was even faster than the last one. In an instant, it reached Chen Xuan's chest. In a flash, Chen Xuan's figure dodged to the side, avoiding Yu Shuqiang's attack with his ghostly speed. As Chen Xuan moved quickly, his evil spirit also moved rapidly, and in just one breath, Chen Xuan's evil spirit slashed towards Yu Shuqiang's left side. Fast, Chen Xuan's slash was as swift as lightning, leaving Yu Shuqiang almost no time to react. He rolled on the ground, dodging Chen Xuan's fatal blow, and his meteor hammer also returned to its original position.

  "I didn't think your swordsmanship was so fast, it seems I really underestimated you. Next, I'll go all out, little boy, prepare to withstand my wrath!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Shuqiang's two Flowing Star Hammers moved simultaneously, the two hammers striking like a pair of dragons, this time their speed was twice as fast as before, and the range of their attack was also much wider than before, completely intending to smash Chen Xuan into a meat pie.

  "This bit of strength is still not enough to call the shots, I'll let you know what's faster, aren't you trying to compare speeds with me?" As soon as the words fell, Chen Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared. In the moment that Chen Xuan's figure disappeared, Yu Shuqiang was shocked - how could this kid's movements be so mysterious? He came and went without a shadow, his own Flowing Star Mallet's speed was already very fast, but it still couldn't catch up to Chen Xuan's figure. The entire arena was filled with the shadows of the Flowing Star Mallet, Chen Xuan wove in and out of these shadows like he was taking a leisurely stroll, occasionally teasing Yu Shuqiang again.

  "You said you'd defeat me in five moves, but now that the five moves have passed, you can't even touch my shadow. How dare you still boast about defeating me in five moves? I've already figured out your Meteor Fist technique, and next it's your turn to endure my wrath!" Chen Xuan dodged while provoking Yu Shuqiang;

  "Hey kid, you think you're so clever with your evasive maneuvers, dodging my attacks. If you've got skills, let's have a real fight, hiding is no skill at all!" Yu Shuqiang was not to be outdone either.

  "As you wish, I'll defeat you with five moves. If I fail, I admit defeat," Chen Xuan's figure slowed down, his hands moving swiftly, the knife shadows multiplying until the entire arena was filled with them, even Yu Shuqiang was stunned by this move. When Chen Xuan made that one move against Han Jiang, Yu Shuqiang knew that Chen Xuan's knife skills were top-notch, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

  "He thought that Chen Xuan was relying solely on his sharp knife skills, and that his own cultivation was insufficient. He believed that with his half-step True Martial realm, he could completely suppress Chen Xuan's knife skills. But now, he realized he had made a grave mistake; not only were Chen Xuan's knife skills sharp, but the purity of his spiritual energy even surpassed his own."

  "But wanting to defeat me isn't that easy" Withdrawing the Flowing Star Hammers, during Chen Xuan's swing of his demonic charm, Yu Shuqiang's two Flowing Star Hammers moved again. Yu Shuqiang wanted to take the initiative and strike first, with his two Flowing Star Hammers floating left and right, trying to break through Chen Xuan's move.

  "You still want to make a comeback? Your hammering skills are too slow!" Chen Xuan sneered.

  The evil charm had already slanted down, the meteor hammer in front was directly knocked flying dozens of meters by Chen Xuan's evil charm. Chen Xuan's figure quickly advanced forward, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Xuan's evil charm was only one step away from Shu Qiang.

  Yu Shu was shocked, "At least forty-eight directions of my body were attacked by this knife, what kind of knife technique is this, how can the attack be so vicious, every change is a fatal spot," Yu Shu exclaimed.

  However, Chen Xuan did not respond to Yu Shuang's surprise. The evil charm in his hand had already reached within a foot of Yu Shuang and could break through Yu Shuang's spiritual energy shield at any time, knocking him off the stage with one move. Yu Shuang was desperate and suddenly wise, and the two meteor hammers in his hand actually retreated to attack himself, which could both attack himself and Chen Xuan, a way of fighting that would harm both sides.

  "A minor skill, you think this can harm me? You underestimate me too much. Now I'll show you my true swordsmanship." Chen Xuan's figure moved, and with a wicked stroke, he drew an arc, a light ring appeared, and in the moment it did, Chen Xuan vanished. The light ring struck Tree Strong, who was less than a foot away. This was Chen Xuan's comprehension of Sword Energy Manifestation, although not comparable to Yuan Force Manifestation, its power was still enormous. In an instant, a deafening roar echoed out.

  Yu Shuqiang's meteor hammer didn't hit Chen Xuan, but instead struck himself. Having no other choice, Yu Shuqiang instantly released the meteor hammer from his hand, neutralizing the attack. However, Chen Xuan's knife energy took shape, leaving Yu Shuqiang completely defenseless. He stared wide-eyed as the knife energy struck his chest, followed by a massive explosion that sent him flying two hundred meters away. He landed on the ground like a dead dog, while on the stage only a pair of meteor hammers remained, along with a lone figure standing tall and proud, its aura gleaming brightly as it sheathed its sword.

  "Not even one move can be blocked," Chen Xuan said in a low voice; then he jumped off the stage.
