Chapter 498: Fan Jian Gang: I'm Not Pretending Anymore, Let's Lay It All Out (Part 1)
"Invincible Sword Technique!" Wang Teng roared as he charged forward.
Wang Qiannu's eyebrows furrowed at the sound of his voice.
This sword...
At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but it gave him an eerie feeling, compelling him to dodge.
However, there was a problem.
If someone was charging with a ball, it would be reasonable to dodge.
But now, Wang Teng was taking the initiative to attack, and it was at his request. If he dodged now, how could he maintain his reputation as a Talented Youth?
Moreover, he was specifically at the Twelfth Stage, while Wang Teng was only at the Tenth Stage!
So...
He couldn't dodge!
He had to face him head-on; otherwise, even if he won in the end, it would still be a blemish.
Then...
He had to fight!
His face turned cold, and he cursed under his breath as he swung his spear, determined to clash with Wang Teng's sword. The spearhead met the sword's tip, advancing without retreat!
The Phoenix Fire Illusion reappeared.
He intended to confront this sword head-on.
However...
In the instant their weapons made contact, the seemingly formidable Phoenix Fire Illusion suddenly tore open, and then, like a piece of torn cloth, it was directly 'torn apart' by the sword! On the contrary, the sword remained 'completely unscathed'!
The dark light on its surface became even deeper.
"What the...?!"
Wang Qiannu was stunned.
What the hell was going on?
At that very moment, their weapons clashed.
But in that fleeting instant, Wang Qiannu felt an enormous force rushing towards him, and for a moment, he couldn't even hold onto his spear!
The spear slipped from his grasp.
The flying sword collided with his body, protected by Immortal Energy.
Logically, the Immortal Energy, a standard protective measure, should have been one of his strongest defenses.
But at this moment, against the flying sword, the Immortal Energy seemed as flimsy as paper, unable to withstand even a momentary attack. As the sword's tip touched, the Immortal Energy distorted, and then the flying sword pierced through!
"Damn it!"
This was too bizarre!
At this moment, he didn't have time to worry about his reputation. He quickly dodged at the fastest speed while activating the Inner Armor he always wore, which was his last line of defense.
However...
It was still useless.
The flying sword continued its relentless advance, and with a 'swish', it 'pierced' through the Inner Armor and into the flesh...
Wait!
That wasn't right!
It was as if...
It had vanished into thin air, torn apart and devoured by something!
In that very moment, the flying sword had just pierced right through him, front to back, and at the same time... the flying sword exploded!
The flying sword!
It had detonated!
Of course, it was not a physical entity; it was a sword formed from techniques and energy.
But...
Inside this sword was Wang Teng's 'Artificial Sun', created with all his might!
BOOM!!!
The intense explosion swept through, accompanied by scorching heat.
Wang Qiannu was instantly blown to pieces, and the broken ends were immediately charred.
Even then, it was only because he possessed a fire-attributed spiritual root and was proficient in True Phoenix Scatter Fist; otherwise, he would have been killed or severely injured, losing his combat effectiveness!!!
This attack left almost every spectator on the viewing platform dumbfounded.
"Is, is this the result?"
"Wang Teng's technique is incredibly bizarre!"
"Bizarre and powerful!"
"The dark light on the surface of the sword is probably his 'Black Hole Domain'. Wherever it passes, it tears through defenses with overwhelming force. That's why Wang Qiannu's defenses were completely ineffective."
"And the final explosion...!"
"The explosion's power is secondary. Almost all Twelfth Stage and some Eleventh Stage cultivators can launch attacks of this magnitude. The issue is that it occurred inside Wang Qiannu's body. The main point is that it can ignore all defenses, ensuring the attack's success!"
"But is it just an explosion? Didn't you feel that terrifying heat? It's only because Wang Qiannu specializes in fire-attributed techniques and has high fire resistance; otherwise, he would have died long ago!"
"Well..."
"Not only would he have died, but he'd be reduced to ashes."
"Not to mention Wang Qiannu, even if I were a Thirteenth Stage cultivator, I wouldn't be confident in taking that attack inside my body without suffering severe injuries..."
Everyone was astonished.
Wang Teng's methods were too domineering!
Bizarre?
Indeed, there was a hint of that.
But compared to I Ai Luo, it was undoubtedly straightforward and upright.
After all...
Art is an explosion~!
...
"Marvelous!" Fan Jian Gang's eyes lit up. "That move is awesome!"
"Combining the Artificial Sun with the 'Black Hole'? It's like an alien technique. The Artificial Sun is covered with a layer of the Black Hole, absorbing attacks and breaking through defenses... directly delivering the Artificial Sun into someone's body and then detonating it."
"What's this called?"
"..."
"Ouch!"
"Real damage!"
"Yes, this is real damage!"
Ignoring the opponent's defenses, it forcefully enters the body and then explodes at point-blank range.
If this isn't real damage, what is? Moreover, the explosion's impact targets the physical body, while the extreme heat affects both the body and the divine soul, even scorching the divine soul!
This move...
Awesome!
...
"Wow!!!"
Wang Qiannu's mouth dropped open in shock.
His entire body was in a state of shock.
That attack...
He was almost killed!
If he hadn't been proficient in True Phoenix Scatter Fist and had high fire resistance...
"You, what kind of technique is this?"
"The Invincible Sword Technique, of course."
"But I just shouted its name a moment ago!"
"There's no way such a sword technique exists! I've never heard of anyone in the vast Immortal World claiming invincibility or boasting about being undefeated!"
Since I've never heard of it, it must be fake!
You're trying to deceive me, aren't you?
As for thinking it's ridiculous...
You're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue, or your big steps causing you to trip?
And you call it the Invincible Sword Technique...
Are you not afraid of being challenged and killed by Sword Cultivators once you leave this place?
You've got some nerve!
"Of course you haven't heard of it. It's my own creation!" Wang Teng shook his head, but he wasn't foolish. He knew that the name Invincible Sword Technique was too intimidating.
The expressions on the spectators' faces in the stands were proof of that.
So...
He had to explain.
Otherwise, there would be endless trouble ahead.
Therefore, he added, "Each move in this Invincible Sword Technique is an Invincible Technique, hence the name 'Invincible'."
"It doesn't mean invincible in the entire world."
Wang Qiannu: "..."
Damn it!
"I don't believe it!"
"Don't believe it?"
"Fine, then take my second sword."
Wang Teng smiled.
"Antimatter Sword!"
The sword, too, shone with dark light.
But this time, the flying sword didn't glow like the sun. Instead, it took on a bizarre and peculiar 'stance', unsettling to behold.
Just one glance made Wang Qiannu's body tremble.
Holy shit!
This is bad!
If this sword explodes inside me again, I'm definitely dead!
"I..."
He quickly embraced his charred lower body with his left hand and raised his right hand, "I concede!"
If he didn't concede now, he'd surely be dead!
Damn it...
I can't afford to provoke this.
Wang Qiannu's eyelids twitched, his mouth spasmed, and his face trembled.
But at this moment, he couldn't utter a word.
He had no choice but to concede.
But...
Why are the Tenth Stage Cultivators so ruthless?
This is too much!
Without waiting for the referee's announcement, he hugged his head and left.
...
"The Fourteenth Prince wins!"
Another tough battle.
The Fourteenth Prince finally managed to defeat his opponent, but at this moment, his condition was terrible. He stood in the air, shivering all over.
He looked as if he had been chilled to the bone.
His gaze towards Old Deng was devoid of any emotion.
You...
What have you done!
...
"Rest for three days, then compete for the top four."
A break.
Wang Teng's odds further decreased, while 'I Ai Luo's' odds slightly increased.
Only Fan Qiang's odds continued to rise, far surpassing everyone else.
Apparently, Fan Qiang's value was still on the rise.
During these three days, the Heaven Splitting Sect members arrived.
They were high-profile, making no effort to conceal their presence, as if afraid that others wouldn't know they had arrived. But within the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom, they showed no signs of seeking revenge.
However, what they did in secret was unknown.
Night fell.
Fan Qiang and his two companions gathered.
He Anxia was curious. "Second Senior Brother, I have a question."
"You've always been so cautious... I mean, careful."
"You're usually extremely careful. Even for me, you suggested disguise and concealment, but why do you show yourself openly, without using transformation techniques or even changing your name?"
Fan Qiang laughed. "You're a quick learner."
"What do you mean I'm not me?"
"I'm not 'me'? Who else could I be?"
"I'm your beloved Second Senior Brother, Fan Qiang. Who else would I be?"
He Anxia and Wang Teng: "..."
Alright, alright!
Is this how you play?
Do you even believe yourself? With your steady-as-an-old-dog character, how could you not hide your true identity? Especially in such a high-profile situation...
I thought you had changed, but it turns out you're deceiving even us!
I didn't even know what you look like or your real name!
"Second Senior Brother."
He Anxia's mouth twitched as he spoke, "Is this really okay?"
"How am I?"
"What's not okay?"
Fan Qiang shook his head. "Don't overthink it."
"It's all made-up, fake, everything is fake!"
He Anxia: "Hmm."
Wang Teng: "Hehe~!"
...
Before taking the stage, Old Deng patted his chest and assured, "Your Highness, rest assured, this time I will definitely..."
"Stop, Old Deng. It's best to let things unfold naturally."
The Fourteenth Prince's face turned pale, and he quickly raised his hand to stop him.
He was genuinely scared.
Damn it!
I warned you beforehand, telling you to manipulate things discreetly. But you slipped up, and now you've made another mistake!
Now you're here again?
He really wanted to say, "I won't trust you again!"
But seeing Old Deng's expectant and apologetic gaze, the Fourteenth Prince ultimately relented, "I'll trust you one more time."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"I will make it happen beautifully!"
Old Deng heaved a sigh of relief.
It's never too late to mend.
This time...
I'll make sure he faces Fan Jian Gang!
I'll draw the lots myself, confirm them, and then reveal them. I don't believe there will be any more 'slips'! Even if he can cheat, it's absolutely impossible for him to get away with it.
Hmph!
Let's see how you fare against our Fourteenth Prince, the 'Fierce Tiger'!
..."
Moments later, Old Deng stared at the result in his hand, his face filled with bewilderment.
The Fourteenth Prince versus Wang Teng!
The Fourteenth Prince rose, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Old Deng. That gaze...
Was especially resentful.
It was enough to make Old Deng remember it for a lifetime.
"This is the consequence of my trust in you."
"You said you'd arrange it, but you just set me up against the strongest opponent, didn't you?"
Wang Teng might not be the second strongest, but at least according to the current odds, he has the lowest chance of winning, and the second lowest is Wang Teng.
In other words, almost everyone believes Wang Teng is his most formidable competitor.
You just arranged it like this...
Damn!
Is Old Deng a spy sent by the enemy nation?
Old Deng was even more bewildered.
"No... This shouldn't be right?"
"How could this happen?"
"I clearly..."
The Fourteenth Prince held his head, sighing, "You don't need to say more."
"I understand, I understand it all..."
Old Deng was taken aback, "Your Highness, what have you understood?"
"I understand everything. Let it be."
The Fourteenth Prince sighed faintly and then climbed the stage without expression.
..."
"He's at the Thirteenth Stage."
Wang Teng was a bit surprised.
But he didn't give up; instead, he immediately activated the Black Hole Domain.
Boom! The Fourteenth Prince launched a powerful attack, not giving Wang Teng a chance to speak or buy time.
Bang! 'Wind Rises'! With just one strike, the Black Hole Domain trembled, even momentarily 'stalling', but fortunately, it held on.
However, this caused Wang Teng's face to change instantly, and he realized that the current limit of the Black Hole Domain was probably around the attack power of a mid-stage Thirteenth Stage Talented Youth.
Of course, if given enough time to brew, it might improve further.
Moreover, the Fourteenth Prince was a Talented Youth, so a regular Thirteenth Stage opponent wouldn't be a match for him.
In other words...
With the Black Hole Domain, Wang Teng could still hold his own against a Thirteenth Stage opponent.
This made him extremely excited.
The Tenth Stage...
Versus a Thirteenth Stage!
Although it was challenging to win, it already explained many things.
A regular Tenth Stage facing a Thirteenth Stage Talented Youth would be instantly defeated!
Elemental Master...
"Master, you are truly..."
"A genius."
"I never imagined that one day, I would reach such heights."
"However, winning seems difficult."
"But it's worth a try."
"Who knows?"
He took a deep breath.
Forcing the Black Hole Domain to stabilize, he simultaneously launched an offensive!
The Antimatter Sword blasted out.
At the same time, he began to control various elements floating between heaven and earth.
Even...
The 'elements' within the Fourteenth Prince!
"What's this?!"
The Fourteenth Prince was about to strike with all his might to shatter the Black Hole Domain, but suddenly, his brows furrowed, sensing something amiss! His blood was surging, as if boiling at this moment!
But the next second, his body turned icy cold, as if frozen in ancient ice, his muscles stiffened, and his blood froze.
Blood...
Turned to ice!
"?"
This peculiar method and transformation caused the Fourteenth Prince's face to change slightly.
He even sensed that from his blood onwards, his entire body showed signs of freezing, as if every cell had turned into ice cubes, and the freezing was spreading.
"What a shocking method."
He muttered, and at this moment, he couldn't afford to attack. Instead, he directly used his divine fire to burn himself, forcibly restoring his temperature and melting the frozen blood within him.
Simultaneously, his divine sense and physical body merged, and he truly unleashed his ultimate technique.
"Traverse Eight Directions!"
This was the ultimate move of the physical body and divine sense fusion, and in an instant, it unleashed a shocking strike, causing the Black Hole Domain to almost stall.
Wang Teng's face changed slightly.
He quickly changed his strategy.
Just before the Black Hole Domain was completely shattered, he controlled the 'calcium element' within the Fourteenth Prince, causing it to quietly change and condense. At the same time, he even sprinkled the 'calcium element' he had prepared along with the offensive...
Boom!!!
'Traverse Eight Directions', countless attacks swept through heaven and earth, and the Black Hole Domain was eventually shattered.
But at this moment, Wang Teng clasped his hands together and shouted, "Open!"
The Fourteenth Prince, who had already closed in, suddenly paused.
The killing move slowed down involuntarily.
He felt intense pain throughout his body, and his entire body was extremely uncomfortable.
It was at this moment...
Pfft!!!
The Fourteenth Prince instantly transformed into a 'hedgehog'!
And it was... bone spikes!
Pure white, no, it should be said to be a ghastly white, with a hint of 'Immortal Blood' flowing on the bone spikes that suddenly protruded from various parts of the Fourteenth Prince's body!
He turned into a 'Human Sea Urchin'!
This bizarre and shocking scene left everyone stunned, and many couldn't help but hold their breath.
"You..."
The Fourteenth Prince wanted to speak.
He was also shocked by his current state.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he found it extremely difficult to speak.
A bone spike directly grew from his lower jaw, piercing through his upper and lower jaws, forcibly connecting them!
He couldn't open his mouth!
He could only make a sound with difficulty.
This...
What kind of bizarre fighting style was this?
A trace of bewilderment flashed across the Fourteenth Prince's face, but fortunately, he was a Talented Youth at the Thirteenth Stage, naturally a 'tough guy'.
As he gritted his teeth, he endured the excruciating pain of his shattered bones. He channeled his Immortal Energy to forcefully sever the bone spikes, ensuring not a single extra bone remained, and regained his mobility.
"What kind of tactic is this?!"
He glared at Wang Teng, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It was truly incomprehensible how someone could employ such a tactic against another person.
Although he could withstand it, this tactic was still a bit too heaven-defying, directly affecting the enemy's body!
