Chapter 196: He is a Radiance Realm Cultivator
Chapter 196: He is a Radiance Realm Cultivator
The sudden turn of events shocked everyone present.
Yin Nanyi had long since entered the Radiance Realm, and aside from the top experts of the major powers, he rarely met his match.
But at this moment, he was forced to retreat with a single strike.
Yin Nanyi was initially surprised, but he quickly recovered.
Su Chen's previous move had only used Eighth Stage power to test his true strength.
Now, seeing that his serious strike with Eighth Stage power made Yin Nanyi, a Seventh Stage Intermediate cultivator, suffer immensely, Su Chen decided to reveal his full strength.
The cultivation methods in this realm were far inferior to those of the Great Zhou Dynasty, from foundational training to realm advancement.
After confirming this, Su Chen no longer held back.
There was no need to conceal his strength here anymore.
In front of everyone, Yin Nanyi brushed off the dust from his body and approached Su Chen.
"You're even more formidable than I imagined.
That move was well-executed, and you've grasped some of the essence.
No wonder you dared to argue with Yueyao; these are your true strengths."
As Yin Nanyi spoke, he attacked again.
This time, he was no longer as casual as before.
The long blade in his hand seemed to become sharper, indicating his newfound seriousness.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Yin is taking this seriously."
Many at the Windriding Pavilion still referred to Yin Nanyi as Senior Apprentice Brother.
Yang Yueyao heard this but didn't say anything further.
With Yin Nanyi's seriousness, there was no doubt about the outcome of this contest.
A Radiance Realm cultivator against a Crystal Blossom Realm cultivator.
How could Su Chen, a Crystal Blossom Novice, possibly be a match for him?
In the eyes of the onlookers, being able to repel Yin Nanyi was already impressive.
At this moment, Yin Nanyi, using his Seventh Stage Intermediate power, displayed his Qi sensitivity, enhancing his speed and form.
He swung his blade, releasing both blade and Qi in a fierce attack.
Many high-level cultivators present felt their skin crawl under the intensity of such an assault.
Even as spectators, they could sense the extraordinary nature of this attack.
If one wasn't careful, it would undoubtedly result in severe injuries.
But in the next moment, Su Chen raised his long blade vertically.
Just like Yin Nanyi had done earlier, he used this stance to block the attack.
Previously, Yin Nanyi had been pushed back several zhang before stopping.
Yet, Su Chen, using the same technique, effortlessly blocked the attack.
In that instant, Yin Nanyi's face showed not only seriousness but also shock.
The surprise on his face overshadowed all other expressions.
The Windriding Pavilion guards and the Alliance Kingdom's people were also dumbfounded.
The contest, which they had thought would be extremely one-sided, now seemed peculiar.
The Windriding Pavilion guard didn't seem as powerful as they had imagined.
Amidst the shock, Su Chen's counterattack arrived.
Yin Nanyi, still somewhat aware, quickly retreated after his unsuccessful attack.
But this retreat seemed somewhat hesitant.
Su Chen swung his long blade, and the Frostblade Technique followed suit.
Yang Yueyao had said that Su Chen learned this blade technique to mimic Yin Nanyi but couldn't grasp its essence.
However, the Frostblade Technique Su Chen was using now was clearly much stronger than Yin Nanyi's.
The blade, the stance, and the Qi were evidently several times more powerful than Yin Nanyi's moves.
Some of the experts present finally understood what was happening.
"This guard is a Radiance Realm cultivator."
From the moment Su Chen witnessed Yang Yueyao's exchange with Yin Nanyi, he had already made his judgment.
In this realm, the top experts were at most Sixth Stage cultivators.
Moreover, the cultivation methods here were noticeably weaker, with more intricate techniques.
Even at the Sixth Stage, their power couldn't compare to the warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Therefore, Su Chen saw no need to hide his strength any longer.
Even with all the local experts gathered, he could leave without any trouble.
Su Chen's moves were exhausted.
The Frostblade Technique seemed to undergo a transformation in Su Chen's hands.
As the blade passed, it left a trail of frost, and even the blade's energy condensed into frost, inflicting invisible wounds.
Yin Nanyi's hands moved incessantly, not daring to relax for a moment.
His flustered appearance was a far cry from the earlier effortless display.
Yet, even so, Yin Nanyi still felt he was struggling to cope.
He had to remain vigilant against every casual swing of Su Chen's blade.
"Senior Apprentice Brother Yin, please give me your assessment. How much of your technique have I mastered?
Have I only managed to mimic the form?"
As Su Chen spoke, his moves continued uninterrupted, still as casual as before.
But Yin Nanyi, focused on countering Su Chen's slashes, had no longer had the spare attention to listen to what Su Chen was saying.
"Senior Sister, this Su Chen..."
At the back of the crowd, Chi Xiaoyun's face paled, and her lips seemed to twitch as she spoke.
The situation before her was completely beyond her expectations.
Senior Apprentice Sister Yang Yueyao, whom she addressed as Senior Sister, wore an even more complex expression.
She had always believed that Su Chen was trying to please her, knowing of her relationship with Yin Nanyi, and deliberately imitated Yin Nanyi's bladework.
Not just Yang Yueyao, but many other Windriding Pavilion disciples held this belief.
In their eyes, Su Chen was attempting to become Yin Nanyi's substitute.
And by doing so, gain some benefits from Yang Yueyao.
But the scene before them had already told Yang Yueyao that those were just her wishful fantasies.
Su Chen had no intention of imitating Yin Nanyi.
Who would want to imitate someone far inferior to themselves? Upon recalling her previous words, Yang Yueyao's embarrassment became evident.
The Yin Nanyi she had been thinking about was now floundering under Su Chen's relentless attacks.
The audience even felt that Su Chen was intentionally toying with him.
However, Su Chen merely wanted to see Yin Nanyi's full strength and gauge the level of this world's top experts.
But under Su Chen's relentless slashes, Yin Nanyi couldn't keep up.
He couldn't even manage to retreat and catch his breath.
The blood drained from his face, turning it deathly pale.
Yin Nanyi, a Radiance Realm practitioner, was being completely overwhelmed by Su Chen.
What level of strength did Su Chen possess?
In the rear garden, the mood of the banquet seemed to be shifting.
Whether it was the Northern Abyss Kingdom or the Alliance Kingdom, Radiance Realm practitioners were not ordinary individuals.
They were among the top experts in their respective countries.
Yet, a Windriding Pavilion guard displayed such terrifying power.
At this moment, the Alliance Kingdom's royalty quietly sent a servant to inquire with the Windriding Pavilion Elder.
Only after receiving a definitive answer did a figure leap towards the center of the garden.
A middle-aged man at the Sixth Stage Initial Stage brandished a short dagger, aiming a lethal strike at Su Chen's vital point.
From Yang Yueyao's earlier words, it was clear that the Windriding Pavilion and this guard were not allies.
And for the Alliance Kingdom's royalty, they didn't want another Radiance Realm expert to emerge from the Northern Abyss Kingdom.
Taking this opportunity, both sides had intentions, and so they made their move.
A Sixth Stage Initial Stage practitioner, the Alliance Kingdom's top expert.
With this strength and the advantage of a surprise attack, victory was assured.
But as he launched his attack, Su Chen had already sensed it.
His expression slightly tense, this sneak attack carried absolute malice.
Perhaps not intending to take his life, but definitely aiming to ruin him.
The Full Moon Divine Art was instantly unleashed, and a streak of blood slid from Su Chen's lips.
His strength, at this moment, soared from the Seventh Stage Perfect Realm to the Sixth Stage Initial Stage.
The long blade in his hand was sheathed.
Twilight Saber Technique!
