Chapter 639: The Last Match
That dazzling light was bright and holy as it enveloped many things and silently blossomed and spread.
The half-finger that was about to disappear suddenly lit up and turned into a palm. That palm then lightly landed on the Nine Soul-Catching Talisman.
Buzz!
A loud buzzing sound echoed throughout the air.
The Nine Soul-Catching Talisman was like accumulated snow that met with the start of spring as it rapidly melted.
When the liquid in the blood-colored string rapidly disappeared, its entire body became dry and weak. Then, it disappeared with the winds.
Xie Lingyang widened his eyes in shock as he looked at the scene in disbelief. How… How can this be? I clearly used all my strength and even increased my cultivation level to become an intermediate stage-six warrior. Why does the Nine Soul-Catching Talisman do nothing to Chu Liuyue? What… Where did her warrior technique come from?!
While he was in a trance, the Nine Soul-Catching Talisman completely disappeared. Only a faint scent of blood was left in the air.
Other than the holy, strong, and thick palm, nothing was left.
The surrounding Heaven and Earth force seemed to be comforted as it was gradually appeased.
It was as if nothing had happened.
Poof!
Xie Lingyang spat out blood once again as he kneeled on the floor with a facial expression that matched the dirt. His bodily aura was greatly weakened, and he quickly dropped back down to become a beginner stage-six warrior.
Gradually, every part of his body had blood oozing out, and it looked horrifying.
Chu Liuyue raised her hand, and that palm immediately disappeared.
When the light turned, a black gap appeared in the surroundings—the surrounding space started to collapse due to the pressure from the remnant strength.
After that intense battle, Chu Liuyue had exhausted her bodily force, and her lips turned pale. But other than this, her face and body didn’t look amiss.
Compared to the disheveled Xie Lingyang, she looked much better!
Chu Liuyue lightly heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, even I didn’t expect Jingshen Palm to be so formidable! At the very least, it’s a few times stronger than Jingshen Finger. Furthermore, I’ve only half-practiced Jingshen Palm at this point… If I can completely execute it, I might even be able to move oceans.
Chu Liuyue suppressed her inner excitement as she looked at Xie Lingyang opposite her. That Nine Soul-Catching Talisman seems to have exhausted his force. Also, the last blood pearl that he took out to increase his cultivation level forcefully is also very strange. Perhaps it’s also because of this that made him suffer an even scarier repercussion.
Without looking closely, one could tell how miserable he was at this point. He was hanging onto his last breath as his face was pale, and he was covered in blood.
He didn’t even have the strength to stand up.
Chu Liuyue raised her chin and looked at the judge by the side of the arena. “With this, is it considered my victory?”
At this point, the judge was still immersed in his shock and finally recovered his senses when he heard Chu Liuyue’s voice. He stiffened his neck and nodded. “Y-yes!”
He paused before taking a deep breath in and shouting, “The ninth warrior match: Chong Xu Cabinet’s Chu Liuyue won!”
Xie Lingyang’s vision turned dark, and he directly fainted.
“Imbecile!” Zhang Hua’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his bodily aura became very sinister and terrifying. He’s used so many methods, but he couldn’t even win against a Chu Liuyue!
The few Jiu Xing Alliance disciples hurried up and carried Xie Lingyang down. Other than this, nobody dared to say anything.
On Chong Xu Cabinet’s side, they finally reacted after experiencing the initial shock.
“Little Junior Sister won!” Lu Zhiyao couldn’t help but jump up and harshly wave his fist. He accidentally tore open his wound again, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth.
Ye Ranran immediately helped him up. “Senior Brother Lu, be careful!”
Lu Zhiyao couldn’t conceal his excitement. “This small injury is nothing. Ranran, did you see? Little Junior Sister really won! She beat Xie Lingyang!”
Ye Ranran couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course, I saw! All of the people present saw it very clearly!”
“Little Junior Sister, well done!”
“I said Little Junior Sister could definitely do it! From now on, I want to cultivate with Little Junior Sister. Nobody is to stop me!”
“Since when was it your turn? Fall in line!”
Everyone was very agitated as they finally got to release their pent-up emotions.
This match didn’t go on for long, but for some reason, they felt that it was very hard to make it through. It was as though a long time had passed.
Now that Chu Liuyue had won the match, they couldn’t describe the elation and happiness in their hearts.
Weichi Song’s tense body finally relaxed as his tightly clenched fists slowly opened. As expected… Liuyue won’t disappoint…
…
“Chu Liuyue actually won… She’s only 15 this year, right? Is she still human?”
“I was wrong! I previously thought some people had purposely exaggerated the rumors of her winning those matches… I’m really wrong! She’s really capable!”
“The previous Qiang Wanzhou was already very outstanding. I didn’t expect Chu Liuyue to be even stronger! It’s no wonder that she can get first place in the Wan Zheng Competition… Chong Xu Cabinet is really lucky to be able to accept both of them…”
All sorts of discussions could be heard from the surroundings.
Chu Liuyue heard it and ignored them.
She originally wanted to win this match. To her, her victory was supposed to happen.
Hence, she didn’t stop for long before she walked to the other competition venue—there was still the last heavenly doctor match!
Seeing Chu Liuyue walk over, the crowd quietened down, and they exchanged glances. She actually wasn’t joking just now? She’s really going to compete in this heavenly doctor match?!
When Ning Zhiqing—who had been waiting there for quite some time—saw that Chu Liuyue stood still in front of him, he knitted his brows slightly. “Chu Liuyue, are you sure you want to compete against me now?”
She has just experienced two battles, and she should’ve exhausted almost all of her force. It seems like she’d lose for sure if she competes now.
Chu Liuyue smiled. “Of course. If not, why would I be here? But… Why haven’t you started? Didn’t I say that you can begin first?”
It had only been a short amount of time, and it wouldn’t affect much.
Ning Zhiqing knitted his brows even more tightly and sneered. “I don’t need that slight advantage. My capabilities are still enough to win you.”
Chu Liuyue looked at him with much interest. This Ning Zhiqing is quite arrogant. But different from the disrespectful Xie Lingyang, he is a lonely type of arrogant. Those who cultivate as heavenly doctors usually have a sort of arrogance, but this isn’t a huge issue. This Ning Zhiqing has been waiting here for quite some time. It looks like he does have some patience.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. We’ll start now then!” said Chu Liuyue as she moved her cauldron out.
Without saying much, Ning Zhiqing also started preparing his herbs.
The two people started to enter competition mode in the arena.
The spectators who were looking at them from below had various emotions. This was because Chong Xu Cabinet and Jiu Xing Alliance had just come to a draw!
This last match’s victory and loss would determine the entire duel’s victory and loss! It would also determine who had the right to be one of the top four clans!
