Death Grip
At this moment, the Skybreaking Fan, after breaking through the Thunderfire Divine Shield's defense, instantly shot out a beam of light that pierced straight towards Xing Chen's chest.
At such a close distance, Xing Chen had no time to evade; the beam shot from the Skybreaking Fan had already struck his chest.
After being hit by this beam, Xing Chen still had a look of shock in his eyes. At this moment, he finally understood why the Skybreaking Fan could serve as Ling Kaifeng's ultimate trump card.
It was because this fan contained spatial power, capable of penetrating any defense and delivering fatal damage to enemies.
"What an impressive Skybreaking Fan!" This was Xing Chen's last thought after being struck by it.
However, moments later, he felt no pain at all; the light emitted from the Skybreaking Fan had caused no harm to his body.
This outcome surprised Xing Chen, but there was no time for contemplation. He reached out and grabbed the Skybreaking Fan, instantly seizing it in his hand. At the same time, a powerful surge of Soul Power erupted, directly erasing the Soul Mark that Ling Kaifeng had left within the Skybreaking Fan.
Then, Xing Chen slightly opened his mouth, and the Thunderfire Pearl slowly flew out. Immediately, a purple-red light flashed, and a wave of intense Thunderfire Power quickly filled the area.
"Nine Thunder Fire!"
With Xing Chen's activation, a massive amount of thunderfire erupted from the Thunderfire Pearl, surging towards Ling Kaifeng.
"My Skybreaking Fan!" Ling Kaifeng glared at Xing Chen, his eyes filled with rage. He could already feel his Soul Mark within the Skybreaking Fan being erased, which filled him with both shock and uncontrollable anger.
"I'm going all out!" With gritted teeth, a crazed look appeared in Ling Kaifeng's eyes as he produced a blood-red pill and swallowed it whole.
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Ling Kaifeng's aura surged violently, seemingly on the verge of breaking into the Yang Spirit Realm. This change caused Xing Chen's expression to change drastically.
At the same time, the expressions of Nangong Xingyun and others watching on the stage changed dramatically. They were well aware of what Ling Kaifeng had just swallowed; it was a pill called Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, which was classified as a high-tier pill.
This pill could stimulate the human body's potential in a very short time, greatly enhancing one's strength. However, the aftereffects it left behind were also quite severe. Those who had consumed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill would experience an obsessive craving for blood.
Once the effects of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill wore off, in future battles, they might gain a special ability known as Bloodthirsty Frenzy. When entering the state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy, their strength would surge instantaneously.
However, despite sounding appealing, there was a side effect that most people could not accept: after a certain period, the person would need to consume fresh blood; otherwise, they would completely succumb to Bloodthirsty Frenzy and become a murderous fiend.
"Foolish! How can one use such a thing?!" Nangong Xingyun shouted angrily. However, at this point, it was too late to stop it because Ling Kaifeng had already swallowed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, and he had now reached the cultivation level of Yang Spirit Realm.
"Nangong Brother, I think we should stop this duel! Since Ling Kaifeng is using such underhanded means, even if he wins, it won't be honorable. Moreover, having consumed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, he will definitely become a murderous fiend in the future. I suggest we kill him on the spot!" Zhao Yuanlong said, his gaze fixed intently on Ling Kaifeng on stage.
"That's right! I agree with Zhao Family Head. Since Ling Kaifeng has swallowed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, he will surely become a great menace in the future. We must eliminate him now and not allow this child to grow stronger," Huo Mingqing nodded in agreement.
Huo Mingqing knew the power of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill. A strong practitioner from Snow Wind Island at the Yang Spirit Realm had once consumed it. Afterward, not only did his cultivation speed increase tremendously, but during battles, he would enter a state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy. His already formidable strength would elevate by an entire realm after entering this state.
Ultimately, because the people of Snow Wind Island did not eliminate him in time, he grew to be a significant threat and reached the level of Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm. After entering Bloodthirsty Frenzy, he could even contend against powerful opponents at the levels of First Stage of Life Observation and Initial Stage of Self-Observation without being defeated.
In the end, it took several experts from Snow Wind Island at the Soul-Searching Realm working together to kill him. However, although he was ultimately slain, the higher-ups of Snow Wind Island suffered heavy losses; otherwise, their strength would have been even more terrifying.
During that battle, three experts from Snow Wind Island at the Soul-Searching Realm were lost before they finally managed to kill him—a significant loss indeed.
With this precedent in mind, Huo Mingqing felt genuine fear. The strength of Nebula Island was far inferior to that of Snow Wind Island, even incomparable. If they allowed Ling Kaifeng, who had consumed the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, to grow stronger, it would undoubtedly spell disaster for Nebula Island.
Even Song Daohong, who hoped for a victory from Ling Kaifeng, began to waver. Although a victory for him could bring immense benefits, for all of Nebula Island, it meant the beginning of their destruction.
Unless they could capture and kill him immediately after his victory; however, based on his understanding of Nangong Xingyun's character, he knew that there was no way that Nangong Xingyun would ever strike down Ling Kaifeng. In fact, he would likely obstruct any attempts to take action against him.
"Two of you, Wind is my disciple after all. Even if he makes a mistake, it is naturally my responsibility to discipline him. Do you think it's a bit too disrespectful to me to want to kill Wind right in front of me?" Nangong Xingyun's expression gradually turned cold as he looked at Huo Mingqing and Zhao Yuanlong.
"Nangong Brother, you need to understand the seriousness of this matter. If we do not kill this boy, once he becomes a great demon in the future, our Nebula Island will be doomed." Huo Mingqing replied without any intention of backing down. After all, this matter concerned the fate of the entire Nebula Island. Ling Kaifeng must die; even if he is the top talent of Nebula Gate, he cannot be spared.
"That's right, this boy cannot be left alive. Otherwise, when his demonic nature fully manifests in the future, it could bring a huge disaster to the entire sea region." Zhao Yuanlong also said coldly.
"You want to kill Wind, but that is definitely not possible. However, I, Nangong Xingyun, am not someone who disregards the bigger picture. Once the competition is over, I will personally suppress him so that he cannot act recklessly," Nangong Xingyun said after a moment of silence, making some concessions.
"Alright, but we must join forces to suppress him to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Huo Mingqing nodded after pondering for a moment. He knew this was Nangong Xingyun's final concession, and he could only agree for now and look for an opportunity to kill Ling Kaifeng later.
"What? Is this competition still going on? Ling Kaifeng has taken the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Pill, which makes this battle extremely unfair and should be stopped," Zhao Yuanlong said with an ugly expression.
"There is no rule against using medicinal pills in a competition, and Ling Kaifeng has not violated any rules. Therefore, the competition must continue," Nangong Xingyun replied calmly.
However, his words made Zhao Yuanlong furious. It was clear that Nangong Xingyun wanted Ling Kaifeng to kill Xing Chen.
"You need to think carefully. Xing Chen is from Snow Wind Island. If they come seeking revenge later..." Zhao Yuanlong's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke threateningly.
"You don't need to worry about that, Brother Zhao. Even a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. No matter how strong they are from Snow Wind Island, they are still an external force to my Nebula Island. I don't believe they would dare to do anything to us," Nangong Xingyun said with a glint of coldness in his eyes.
At this moment, changes occurred again in the Training Ground. Ling Kaifeng swung his long sword forward and unleashed the third form of the Starfall Sword, called Reversal of the River!
"Reversal of the River!"
As this sword was unleashed, an endless torrent of thunder and fire surged forth but then paused slightly without flowing back; it merely remained suspended in mid-air, unable to advance further.
Looking at Ling Kaifeng, who was enveloped in a Bloodthirsty Aura, Xing Chen surprisingly revealed a hint of a smile on his face.
"Since you can borrow the power of the elixir, I can do the same." A jade bottle appeared in Xing Chen's hand, containing the Soul-Condensing Pills that Zhao Yuanlong had given him.
Without any hesitation, Xing Chen immediately swallowed all five Soul-Condensing Pills. The pills dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, and the immense medicinal power surged throughout Xing Chen's body.
Ah!
Xing Chen let out a long howl, and an aura even more astonishing than Ling Kaifeng's erupted from him. However, at this moment, he was still a bit short of reaching the Yang Spirit Realm.
Ling Kaifeng's eyes flashed with a rich blood-red light. He raised his Qixing Jian, which shone brilliantly, and then suddenly thrust it upward. The endless thunderfire instantly rolled back.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal!"
At this moment, blood-red light filled Xing Chen's eyes as well, and the blood aura surrounding him was no less intense than that of Ling Kaifeng.
In a swift movement, Xing Chen stepped forward, and thick blood light surged from his hand. Six Blood Seals slowly formed in his grasp, and behind these six, the seventh Blood Seal was also beginning to take shape.
"Break!" Xing Chen shouted explosively, thrusting his palm forward. The seven Blood Seals shot out instantly, and the powerful blood-killing aura caused the ground to tremble. The returning Thunderfire Power was immediately shattered by Xing Chen's Seven Killing Blood Seal.
"Starfall Sword, Fourth Style, Dominating the Sky!" Seeing the seven Blood Seals shooting toward him, Ling Kaifeng revealed a crazed expression and executed the fourth style of Starfall Sword, Dominating the Sky.
In an instant, an overwhelming aura radiated from him as if he were the sole ruler of heaven and earth. As he swung his sword, the ground trembled and the sun and moon dimmed; it felt as though only this sword light remained in existence.
Before him, the Seven Killing Blood Seal appeared as fragile as a mayfly trying to shake a tree; it seemed so weak and overconfident.
"Damn it, I can't possibly lose." Seeing this situation, Xing Chen's face showed anger as he summoned a broken sword—the Pointing Divine Sword.
"Zhi Jian Fa, Sword Pointing to the Sky! First Style, Counterattack!" Xing Chen instantly unleashed the opening move and first style of Zhi Jian Fa.
Zhi Jian Fa can be used anywhere, and it can even counterattack; it's just a mere Ling Kaifeng.
In the moment Zhi Jian Fa was unleashed, Xing Chen seemed to transform into a powerful existence beyond the earthly realm, transcending the ground, pointing out its deficiencies and correcting its mistakes.
"Ah, these two... are they too abnormal? I fear that even the battles of Yang Po Fourfold Peak or even Yang Po Fivefold strong fighters wouldn't compare!"
"Damn it, who dares to say they are Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm? Who am I in a hurry with? Is there really such a strong Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm?"
"This world is too crazy; I fear even Yang Spirit Realm would hesitate before them!"
As the crowd below discussed in astonishment, Nangong Xingyun and others showing expressions of shock, the attacks of Xing Chen and Ling Kaifeng had already collided with a thunderous impact.
