The God of Sky and Earth

Chapter 807: Top 16!

Chapter 807: Top 16!

The young man in white clothes had a drastic change in his expression. He quickly retreated and had a protective energy shield around him. He used everything he had learned to narrowly dodge the attack.

"Swoosh..."

But before the claw mark, a fierce gust of wind brushed against his neck, causing a stinging sensation on his skin. A few strands of hair were directly shattered, and several bloody marks appeared on his neck, blood dripping out.

"You're defeated!"

Just when the young man in white thought he had evaded another attack, a faint voice sounded in his ear. The claw mark, in an incredible manner, suddenly spun and pressed downward, emitting a white mist-like glow. It spun like a dragon's claw and directly landed on his shoulder.

"Sizzle..."

Claw marks appeared and a powerful force pushed down, overwhelming the young man in white clothes. His body went limp, making a cracking sound as blood flowed from his shoulder. His energy was locked inside him.

"Boom!"

The young man in white clothes was thrown off the golden boulder, and before he could react, he crashed onto the ground.

Amongst the Qingyun Sect, an elder's face turned serious. They clenched their fists, their expression not looking good. Their top disciple was unexpectedly defeated by an unknown cultivator. With their keen eyes, they could tell that the opponent hadn't even used their full strength. It could be said that their sect's disciple suffered a tremendous defeat.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ?)

"That Xu Chen is a mysterious figure, like a dark horse!"

Elder Suyun had a calm expression on their face, their gaze filled with curiosity as they observed Xu Chen.

"Boom!"

"Clang!"

In a loud bang, there was a collision of energy. Flame Scale burst forward, his fist covered in black scales, causing the sword in the graceful woman's hand to shake off directly.

The woman in the graceful outfit's face changed drastically. In a quick response, before she could react, Flame Scale had already approached her. Suddenly, his fist turned into a palm, emitting a black light. The terrifying force of the attack produced a strong gust of wind, creating a tearing sound in the air. He fiercely slapped his palm towards her.

The woman in the graceful outfit focused her gaze. Qi surged beneath her feet, and in a strange but prominent twist of her delicate body, she narrowly avoided Flame Scale's palm.

"Can't escape now!"

Just then, Flame Scale spoke. With a sudden shake of his arm, the palm print that had been evaded traced an incredible arc in the air, like a nimble snake. It even made a half-circle, and his arm transformed abruptly, directly slapping the woman in the graceful outfit on the shoulder.

"Bang!"

The woman in the graceful outfit spewed out a mouthful of blood and her delicate body flew backwards, crashing heavily in the distance.

"Huh..."

Many people were observing the confrontation between Flame Scale and the woman in the graceful outfit. Flame Scale's strange attack had surprised many. What kind of technique was this? How could his arm elongate and bend like that? It was all so mysterious.

"That is a half-demon body, possibly its natural ability!"

Among the onlookers, there were strong individuals who noticed something. That ugly-faced young man had a body that was half-human, half-beast. This strange ability might come from his demon clan.

"Can half-humans and half-beasts also participate in the Saint Martial Assembly?" A young disciple was amazed. Half-humans and half-beasts are the result of a combination between the demon and human races, and are not accepted by either.

"The demon and human races are forbidden to mix, but over time, both humans and demons have become accustomed to it. Although it is not accepted and considered taboo, some major sects still have powerful individuals with half-demon bodies."

Someone informed the younger generations around them that although the combination of demons and humans is taboo, both races have grown accustomed to this phenomenon over time. Even though it is still forbidden, both races turn a blind eye.

Many major sects have powerful individuals with half-demon bodies, but the outcomes for these half-human, half-beast beings are generally tragic.

"This little one is very strong!"

Seeing Flame Scale's victory, Su Yi was impressed. He never expected Flame Scale to be so powerful. Looks can be deceiving.

Soon, this round of matches came to an end. Amidst the cheers that reached the sky, only sixteen figures remained on the gigantic golden boulders.

"Wow, so amazing!"

Countless people were gathered around, filled with passionate longing.

These sixteen individuals were destined to become famous in the Central Region, with unlimited potential. They were the most exceptional among the exceptional!

Su Yi scanned the entire scene, and the remaining sixteen individuals were more or less as he had expected. There was Sacred Mountain's Nanan Ruyu, Chi Tianxuan from the Fire God Sect, Gong Qianxing from the Tianxuan Sect, Li Qingwei from the Qingyun Sect, Feng Qingnong from the Sanyuan School, Lin Fan from Qingxu Gate, Cheng Yanhuan from Qiantian Sect, Shao Sijun from the Beast Emperor Sect, Mu Yao from the Divine Sword School, Jian Wuque, and the young leader from Yutian Palace. In addition to them, there were Xu Chen, Flame Scale, and two other youths. One was muscular and had the emblem of the Beast Emperor Sect on his shoulder.

The last youth appeared to have the most mature appearance among them and seemed to be the oldest. However, his demeanor was impressive. He was a disciple of Qiantian Sect.

Among the various lineups, the elders and strong individuals had different reactions. Some were delighted, while others felt slightly regretful.

According to reason, Sacred Mountain's disciples should have suffered heavy losses this time, with only Nanan Ruyu remaining. Among their five sects and three schools, there should be at least two individuals from each sect or school among the top sixteen.

However, the current situation was different. Only the Divine Sword School, Qiantian Sect, and Beast Emperor Sect had two individuals each in the top sixteen. Several independent cultivators had also emerged.

"Haha!"

At this moment, the elders and strong warriors from the Divine Sword School, Qiantian Sect, and Beast Emperor Sect all had smiles on their faces, filled with joy. Among the top 16, their respective sects had secured two spots, surpassing the other sects.

Within the lineup of the Sacred Mountain, there was a hint of coldness in their eyes. Especially when they saw Xu Chen and Flame Scale also entering the top sixteen, it made the Sacred Mountain's gaze become even more unpleasant.

"Buzz!"

The sound of a bell echoed, resounding through the empty space.

"Congratulations on moving to the next round. The rules remain the same - no intentional killing, no use of any external forces other than the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman. Your opponents will depend on your luck."

Ouyang Yuanfeng stepped into the empty space again, deliberately or unintentionally scanning Su Yi, Xu Chen, and Flame Scale, his gaze complex.

"Boom!"

As Ouyang Yuanfeng's words fell, the sixteen golden boulders on the square trembled once again. They burst with golden light, enveloped in a holy aura, as if they came alive, spinning and moving.

"Rumble!"

The ground shook, the void rumbled, and golden light shot up into the sky.

"We're about to enter the top eight, and things will get more intense!"

"This is the Battle of the Champions, where everyone is a genius!"

The crowd erupted in excitement. The battles would become more intense as they went on. The further they advanced, the stronger the remaining participants. This was the true Battle of the Champions. Only at the Saint Martial Assembly, such a grand event, could one witness so many exceptional talents!
