"When did Wu Yu grow so tall?" Qing Mang did not dare to approach Su Yanli and the other personal disciples of the Sect Leader . She stood with a bunch of Sky Gazing Mountain disciples some ways away . Her little head popped out of the crowd and stared at this surprising scene . Her little mouth was open so wide that you could stuff an egg inside .
She did a quick comparison . She was already puny, and now, beside Wu Yu, she would only reach his belly .
"It'll be his turn to fight very soon . I really don't want him to lose . " Qing Mang watched mutely from the sidelines, her pale white face lined with anxiety .
To her, Wu Yu was like an elder brother . Actually, she did have a brother back in the mortal realm, but because Qing Mang had embarked on the path of immortals, she had never met him again .
Time flew, and the closely-matched core disciples of the Qi Condensation Realm fought to a result one after another . In the blink of an eye it was evening, and the sun had gradually retreated . It was a beautiful evening, and the Immortal's Battle Stage in twilight was like an orange longsword, canted towards the sky . And the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were like ants on this Immortal's Battle Stage .
"Last battle, Situ Minglang, Wu Yu . " The crowd had been in a lull, but hearing Mu Ge's declaration, the crowd held its breath . Finally, the main highlight of today would begin . It was as though everyone had been waiting for this suspenseful moment . The number of disciples on the Immortal's Battle Stage had increased rather than decreased . Their anxious heartbeats were clearly reflected .
Before he left, Mo Shishu suddenly turned serious and addressed Wu Yu gravely . "Junior Brother, don't disgrace my master . If I were you, as long as I survive on that stage, then all honor is saved . "
Clearly, because the Sect Leader had protected Wu Yu a year earlier, he was now also seen as part of the Sect Leader's reputation .
"Understood!" At this moment, there was no benefit to saying more . Wu Yu hefted his keen Demon Banishing Blade and reached the center of the battlefield in a few steps . Instantly, numerous gazes turned to focus on him again . After so many years as the prince of Dong Wu, he had stood in the limelight long enough . Even here at the immortal sect, Wu Yu was calm enough .
Mo Shishu, Su Yanli, Qing Mang, and the rest looked on with anticipation .
From the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, looks of doubt and disdain .
Situ Minglang, a cold and hateful gaze .

On the high platform, Lan Huayi and the various elders were watching closely from above!
All gazes were on Wu Yu . They were like infinite stinging points of light that scorched his body . Normal people were afraid of this level of heat, but Wu Yu actually luxuriated in it . He had his Invincible Vajra Body . This level of heat only made his hot blood boil!
And now his Agile Rock Body was cultivated . Under the setting sun, one could see just barely the golden veins and roiling blood . His golden bones were glowing, and his entire body was covered in golden crystal meridians . It was like a sky full of stars . And within his mind, an indomitable Monkey King that burned in the flames . A blood-red gust of wind howled around him!
"Wu Yu! That day you picked up the trash I left on the ground, do you remember your shame?" Situ Minglang had waited for this chance to vent his hatred . It was unbearable . His body crackled with electricity, and he appeared in front of Wu Yu . His martial cultivator's spiritual power started to whip up a tempest within the mountains .
"Situ Minglang, that day, I slaughtered your two brothers but walked away without shit happening to me . You remember how glum you were?" Wu Yu's words were delivered calmly . Situ Minglang was too naive . Such pre-battle taunts were nothing new to Wu Yu, who had been training on the battlefield for a long time . The moment he said it, all the composure that Situ Minglang had carefully built up was shattered, and only his raging anger was left .
Bang!
Situ Minglang seethed, and the disciples could feel his fearsome spiritual power!
"This Wu Yu, he's so brazen . And that's with the Sect Protector being present . . . . . . " The disciples were taken aback by how bold Wu Yu was .
Given what they saw, Wu Yu's greatest battle accolade was defeating Yu Huaishan, and there was a world of difference between Yu Huaishan and Situ Minglang . At this time, the crowd was guessing that Wu Yu would be cut down by Situ Minglang within a matter of a few breaths .
"Wu Yu is doomed . "
"Today, the Sect Leader is not here, and the Sect Protector is . No one can save Wu Yu under the watch of the Sect Protector . "
Actually, a majority of the people thought this way .

In the instant that the crowd stirred to life, Situ Minglang really could not resist . This young demon stood before Wu Yu and recited his chant . In a trice, an immortal treasure appeared, flying into the clouds and then descending into his hands . It was a hardened spirit sword . Blue light flowed along the keen, gleaming edge . When it clashed, the blue light spat out thunder and lightning that lingered on the blade, creating loud cracking sounds, emanating an intimidating power that left one numb .
A lightning symbol could vaguely be made out on the sword hilt . It was precisely that symbol that absorbed the lightning essence from the world and channeled it into the sword . It was precisely that which made it an immortal treasure .
Only immortals could use immortal treasures .
"Lightning Rod Blade!"
When Situ Minglang held the Lightning Rod Blade with both hands, electricity coursed through his body . In an instant, his black hair flew wildly . He looked awe-inspiring!
Wu Yu had heard that in the year Situ Minglang had secluded himself, he had not only succeeded in condensing his qi, but had also cultivated the Art of Lightning Control . Against those of an equal level, its fighting power was rather blasphemous .
When Situ Minglang was in the Body Refining Realm, his specialty affinities were frost and water, but Lan Huayi had seen his talent for lightning abilities . And to a martial cultivator, learning lightning skills earlier would result in more deadly power . It helped one's battle power; therefore, he put what he had previously learned aside and focused on cultivating the Art of Lightning Control .
Tch! Tch!
Situ Minglang suddenly raised his head . His eyes were already blanketed with electricity . He stared at Wu Yu and charged without a word!
"Heartpiercer Lightning!"
This was a dao technique!
Situ Minglang recited his chants while he was grasping his sword in one hand . Halfway through, he finished chanting, tapping his Lightning Rod Blade . In that instant, it seemed like he had unlimited spiritual power, which manifested on the longsword . The electricity on the blade was amplified by 10 times . Situ Minglang used his dominating power to charge forward with lightning-quick footwork . Each step covered 100 feet, and he lunged straight for Wu Yu's heart . If he was pierced through by the lightning, then he would be dead .

Situ Minglang's move immediately raised a commotion . In the overall picture, this dao technique combined with his physical power to elevate him to first place among the 12 .
In comparison, although Wu Yu was taller and was looking down on him, one who had condensed their qi could control qi! Dao techniques and immortal treasures combined to be a definite walkover over one who could not! The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples could basically predict that this was a sure kill!
"Die!"
With the Sect Protector sitting nearby, Situ Minglang could kill with impunity today! The lightning sword was coming for his heart . Before the sword arrived, the lightning had already exploded a large quantity of debris along the way, causing the ground to catch fire and blacken .
At this moment, Qing Mang's heart was already in her throat and her face was pale . . .
Wu Yu's counter seemed effortless . He simply lifted his sword in both hands and swept it out .
"Sweeping Golden Inferno!"
The Golden Inferno Dragon Slayer Art that he had mastered recently was used .
Tang!
The sound was deafening, as though an avalanche had occurred, or a 5,000 kg metal ball had fallen to the ground from high up . It rumbled everyone's eardrums and knocked the sense from their brains . In that instant, all they could see was Wu Yu's sword sweeping out, trailing embers . The incomparably aggressive blow landed on the Lightning Rod Blade and immediately exploded with inhuman power . Situ Minglang and the Lightning Rod Blade were sent flying more than 300 feet!
Situ Minglang flew . In the setting sun, the Demon Banishing Blade gleamed, and the youth was glowing with golden light from his entire body . . . The picture left the entire Immortal's Battle Stage silent . Even a single pin drop could be heard clearly .
The silence extended on, until Situ Minglang landed on the floor . He almost did not manage to execute a recovery roll .
"Nngh . . . . . . " Situ Minglang raised his head . The one who could bear this the least was, in fact, himself .
From this exchange, the one who was favored with 99% chance to win had actually come out worse . Wu Yu had actually used the power of the Body Refining Realm alone to send him flying . . . . . .
Such a scene was just too unexepected .
It was true that the drop of blood from the Monkey Head Fruit had helped Wu Yu train day and night without sleep or rest until this day . He had entered the ninth tier of the Body Refining Realm and was at the Immortal Transformation tier . If he already had 3,000 warhorses worth of power before, now he had above 5,000 warhorses worth of power . Just in terms of physical power alone, he was well above Situ Minglang .
That was why he had such a powerful strike that could send Situ Minglang flying and shock everybody!
Even Lan Huayi's gaze wavered for a moment, and the look in her eyes started to change . Or perhaps now she started to understand why Feng Xueya had taken Wu Yu under his wing .
Of course, Wu Yu was not arrogant . Before, Situ Minglang had not treated him as an opponent . And now that he had tasted pain, he would enter a berserk state, given his personality . Therefore, the real battle was just about to begin!
As expected, Situ Minglang was chafing and he spat a mouthful of blood, then he hefted his Lightning Rod Blade . His left hand extended two fingers, which touched the Lightning Rod Blade . He raised his angry eyes to the sky and executed marvellous footwork . He shouted, "The power of the sky is boundless, and the immortals rule all . Lightning and thunder, hither to my blade!"
Instantly, the sky darkened and debris flew . Only immortals could have the power to hail the wind and rain like this . Wu Yu raised his head in shock . He could see that the clouds had already become inky black, and the thunder was roaring out . And then he saw a coarse lightning snake slithering through the clouds . It bore the ultimate killing intent!
"The Art of Lightning Control will leave you without even a corpse!"
As the weather changed, Situ Minglang's mouth curled in a cold smile . The Lightning Rod Blade was already pointed at Wu Yu .
