Chapter 135: The Final Battle

  The final battle is about to begin, and everyone starts looking for their last opponent. Of course, all the focus is now on Chen Xuan and Qian Kun. The next game between these two is the match that everyone cares about. In the end, will it be the newcomer overthrowing the old man, contending for the championship, or the old disciple defending his honor and re-ascending to the throne?

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, more than a dozen figures quickly landed on the five arenas. Chen Xuan once again fell onto an arena. This time, he didn't need to look to know who his opponent was. Whoosh, a figure landed in front of Chen Xuan.

  "I didn't expect that the final battle would be between you and me. These days, I've also learned about your affairs. You, a new disciple, have actually reached this step, which is beyond my expectations. Even Xiao Qiuyu was defeated by you, it seems that you are indeed a true dark horse. However, now that you're here, this is your endpoint."

  "Is this praise or belittling?" Chen Xuan heard that Qian Kun seemed to have a big opinion of himself, "Please enlighten me, senior brother," Chen Xuan said bluntly.

  "Do you still remember the time when you single-handedly conquered Douling Peak? You didn't put me, your senior brother, in your eyes at all. You actually dared to enter Douling Peak alone and even took a disciple with you. Where do you want me, this big senior brother, to put my face?" Qian Kun finally pulled down his face, speaking with anger;

  "Qian Shixiong, you can't just ignore the truth and turn things around, everyone knows what happened that day, it was Ling Feng who took us to Lian Shanfeng's Yunsheng, and now you're saying I'm the one who created Douling Peak? And took away a disciple? Alright, I did beat up some of your Douling Peak disciples, but are you trying to save face today?" Chen Xuan said furiously.

  "Good boy, admit that you broke into Douling Peak and injured our disciples. No matter how Lingfeng did it, that's our Douling Peak's business. You alone have injured several of our disciples. Today, I will teach you a good lesson on behalf of these few disciples. Otherwise, where would my face as the eldest brother be? Let me teach you what it means to be human." Qian Kun said angrily.

  "Is that so? Since you've already spoken to me in such an impolite manner, it seems I don't need to be polite to you either. I thought you were a representative of the inner disciples, but it turns out you're no different from them. Come on, I'd like to see how you plan to teach me." Chen Xuan said calmly

  The two men on the stage had a war of words, neither giving in to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerie. Chen Xuan's fists were already clenched tightly, ready to fight at any moment.

  Dong, dong, dong! The Jade Emperor's Monument appeared in Qian Kun's hand. It seemed that Qian Kun also knew that relying solely on his fists was not enough to defeat Chen Xuan. So he took out the Jade Emperor's Monument from the start. The monument slowly grew larger and finally transformed into a massive stone stele over ten meters high once again. Instantly, Chen Xuan's aura changed, and the air around him solidified, all suppressed by the power of the Jade Emperor's Monument.

  "It's indeed a set, this Jade Emperor Stele is really good stuff, no wonder Xiao Qiuyu lost to him. It's not simple at all." Chen Xuan felt a kind of suppressed feeling, his movements slowing down. He saw a large stele erected in front of Qian Kun, like a giant mountain. It seemed that if he wanted to defeat Qian Kun, he first had to break through this mountain, otherwise everything would be in vain.

  "This is my Jade Emperor's Tablet, Half-Moon Instrument. Now you know the power of the Half-Moon Instrument, right? Today, I'll let you know what real strength looks like."

  Suppressing the four sides, rumbling, the Jade Emperor Stele slowly rose, suppressing Chen Xuan's head, and suddenly Chen Xuan felt a great mountain pressing on his body, his skeletal system making a creaking sound, being crushed by the Jade Emperor Stele.

  "It's a good thing that I was able to upgrade my physical body by one level in the Flying Swallow Formation, otherwise my physical body would probably have had a hard time withstanding this Jade Emperor Stele"

  "Good!" Chen Xuan spat out a word, his momentum surging upwards, the evil spirit unsheathed with a whoosh. In an instant, the evil spirit on his back was unsheathed, and his right hand grasped it, pointing diagonally at the sky. It was the starting pose of the Spiral Slash once again. The electric arc reappeared, and the spiral force began to take shape. The Spiral Slash struck out, and the knife energy on the evil spirit shot forward with a whoosh, striking the Jade Emperor's Stele above the front line. The massive spiral force still carried its rotating speed, charging straight at the incoming Jade Emperor's Stele. Chen Xuan wanted to intercept it.

  The aura emanating from the Jade Emperor Stele grew stronger, causing the earth to crack and Chen Xuan's spiral slash in mid-air was also slowed down by the stele. With a whooshing sound, Chen Xuan struck out three more times, and the three blades of air merged with his initial spiral slash, increasing its power and speed once again.

  Rumbling, the Jade Emperor Stele was struck by Chen Xuan's spiral force and intercepted in mid-air, suspended there. Chen Xuan's knife aura kept changing, sometimes fierce tiger, sometimes dragon, constantly attacking Qian Kun's Jade Emperor Stele. However, it seemed that this move's power was still not enough to push it back, only able to withstand it. This was not the result Chen Xuan wanted; he had to thoroughly trample Qian Kun underfoot to vent his anger.

  Qian Kun is now, and has long thought of torturing Chen Xuan thoroughly. The two have been fighting in mid-air for dozens of rounds, with neither gaining the upper hand. The Jade Emperor's stele was also unable to make any progress, while Chen Xuan's knife aura was equally ineffective against the Jade Emperor's stele. They were deadlocked for dozens of breaths.

  After dozens of breaths, Chen Xuan's knife aura was almost worn out, and Qian Kun's control over the Jade Emperor Stele slowed down, losing its momentum. The Jade Emperor slowly fell back to the ground, and Chen Xuan's knife aura also dissipated completely. This blow left neither person able to gain the upper hand over the other.

  "You indeed have some skills, able to withstand my initial suppression of the four directions. However, this level of strength is probably not enough; if you come down, I will have to use my true strength." Qian Kun said to Chen Xuan as he put away the Jade Emperor's Stele.

  "Bring out your true strength! Let me see what's so special about Qian Kun, who is ranked first. Don't be a disappointment!" Chen Xuan said bluntly.

  "They say you're sharp-tongued and quick-witted, but I think you're not only that, you're also extremely arrogant. Just based on what you said earlier, today I'll have to teach you a good lesson." Qian Kun said fiercely.

  The tone of the two people became increasingly thick, and they began to attack each other. Chen Xuan was no longer afraid of thoroughly offending Qian Kun now. Even if he himself was willing to put aside his face, Qian Kun would probably not let him off easily. It's better to offend him thoroughly, I'd like to see what he can do to me.

  Qian Kun's face was gloomy and terrifying, after so many years, among the inner disciples, who had seen himself not being respectful, this Chen Xuan repeatedly provoked his dignity, today if he didn't teach him a lesson, in the future his own face would be completely lost.

  "Today I'll see if your skills are as big as your mouth, the Jade Emperor's Tablet is huge for me, the Jade Emperor's Tablet becomes even bigger again, its aura is more intense than before, whooshing sounds, the arena starts to shake, and is being suppressed by the Jade Emperor's Tablet."

  Qian Kun finally made a decisive move, suppressing all sides. The Jade Emperor Stele rushed towards Chen Xuan, who felt his entire body tighten as if he was about to be controlled by the stele. This was the power of suppression. It seemed that the main function of the Jade Emperor Stele was to suppress, without any special attacking abilities. However, this suppression was not something ordinary people could withstand. If Chen Xuan's physical strength wasn't strong enough, he would have been suppressed to the point of immobility by now.

  As expected, Chen Xuan thought to himself.

  The evil charm pointed to the sky, this time with both hands grasping the knife, both eyes staring tightly at the Jade Emperor's stele that was approaching him. Chen Xuan was waiting, waiting for the strongest blow, the momentum had already formed, a tens of meters long knife aura appeared, the red knife aura illuminated the entire square, now it was already evening, the big moon in the sky also turned red and bright, as if it was also dyed red by this red knife aura.

  The airflow around him rotated slowly and rhythmically with Chen Xuan's knife aura, heaven and earth as one. This was what the two core disciples had said before - heaven and man as one. Chen Xuan had never grasped this state before, but this time he had used the connection with the Heaven Devouring Furnace to establish a thread of connection with heaven and earth. Even just a thread of connection was enough to destroy all things.

  Perhaps one day Chen Xuan will truly comprehend this realm, and when he reaches the true unity of heaven and man, his power will be enough to destroy the heavens and burn the earth. The red knife aura has finally formed, waiting for the final blow.
