Su Yun's Vicious Move
True Divine Spirit Qi focused on force, Swift Wind Divine Qi focused on speed and Wild Blade Spirit Qi focused on destruction and damage.
Su Yun was equally as fast, but in terms of destructive capabilities, Su Yun's sword could not be compared to Dao Huang's blade. As time passed, Dao Huang's eyes became redder, her swinging of the blade became faster and faster and her destructive capability became even more fearsome.
Her situation caused Su Yun to recall the Right Protector Mo Xin Kuang of the Devil Sect. Mo Xin Kuang was a demonic cultivator that had four arms and a height of about 3m with natural berserk eyes and wielded a 5000 kg big blade. Mo Xin Kuang always used all four arms to fight, Mo Xin Kuang's initial dance with the blade was slow, but following a long drawn battle, the berserk blood in Mo Xin Kuang's body would ignite, causing Mo Xin Kuang's power, speed and reaction time etc. to all increase, causing the blade dance to become even faster.
Although the Devil Sect was powerful, it was only so to the people of the Sky Martial Continent, in the Ultimate Martial World, the Devil Sect was nothing and Dao Huang was substantially stronger than Mo Xin Kuang by a lot.
However, the symptoms that the two of them had were identical. If that was true, continuing to fight with Dao Huang in such a way would only allow Dao Huang's speed and destructive capabilities to become more powerful and Su Yun would only be placed at a disadvantage as time passed.
Suddenly!
Dao Huang stomped onto the ground fiercely and suddenly took a deep breath and roared.
"Ah!!!"
The sky shattering roar exploded out like a lion roar, everyone became muddle headed from her voice.
"Su Yun! You can go and die!!"
Dao Huang stopped her roar and slashed fiercely at Su Yun's head, with the intent of cutting him in two.
"Not good, killing technique!"
Zhang Guo Hao's face changed, he anxiously stood up and was about to intervene… But then he saw Dao Huang suddenly looking at him coldly.
Zhang Guo Hao's entire body trembled, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not go up on stage.
He did not know what kind of backing Su Yun had, but he knew for sure who was behind Dao Huang! As the daughter of the Quick Blade Sect's Patriarch, offending her meant offending the Quick Blade Sect. Maybe the organizations who sponsored the competition would not fear the Quick Blade Sect, but he was just a small evaluator, with minor achievements, how could he dare to provoke the Quick Blade Sect?
Then, just when everyone thought that Su Yun would be killed with Dao Huang's move, the long Scarlet Blood Sword flew out of Su Yun's hand and struck Dao Huang's thin blade from its side.
Clang!
The blade and sword collided! Although the Scarlet Blood Sword did not have much force, it still changed the thin blade's trajectory! It swept past Su Yun's arm and slashed into the ground.
By this time, Su Yun had already awakened from Dao Huang's roar, he flew in the air and grabbed the Scarlet Blood Sword, he then flipped and attacked Dao Huang's shoulder.
What surprised everyone was that when the sharp sword touched her shoulder, it actually did not stab inwards! Dao Huang's yellow robes actually hardened and turned into what seemed like a gold armor, deflecting the sword away.
"Treasure?"
Su Yun was startled.
"Do you think that you can break a 42nd tier Imperial Equipment? Su Yun, for you to fight me without having any imperial equipment, you are bound to lose!!!"
Dao Huang said coldly, then unleashed another 300 blades.
Su Yun anxiously used his sword to defend.
~42nd Tier Imperial Equipment? So that's a 42nd Tier Imperial Equipment? Although it cannot compare to my 7th Tier Imperial Equipment, but as a defensive treasure, how can I use my own defensive type Imperial Equipment to break hers?~
~Wait a minute.~
Su Yun suddenly thought about something.
~Although her robe is an Imperial Equipment, clothes are still clothes, it can't protect her head, hands and legs, if I were to directly attack the parts that are not covered by her clothes, what will happen?~
Thinking about that, Su Yun's gaze turned cold, he suddenly increased the speed of his sword, unleashing the Divine Wind Sword Technique, his hands moved as fast as gales and he danced extremely rapidly. Dao Huang's limit was 400 blades, But Su Yun was able to increase his speed to over 600 swords in a breath.
With the sudden increase in speed, it caught Dao Huang by surprise, as it became difficult for her to resist, she anxiously retreated, but just as when she was about to retreat and defend, her cheek suddenly felt pain, followed by a gust of wind that swept past her.
Dao Huang's heart trembled, she immediately roared and forced Su Yun to retreat, then she herself retreated back to the side of the stage, she held her face, only to realize that there were three shallow sword marks on her cheeks with blood flowing out.
"So fast!"
In Group A Region, Han Yue Xin could not resist but exclaim out.
"Fast?"
Jiang Qing Long frowned: "Miss Han, you're talking about Dao Huang's blade right? The Quick Blade Sect is not some unknown sect, as the daughter of the Patriarch, Miss Dao Huang's blade is naturally fast."
Han Yue Xin shook her head, her gaze tightly locked onto Su Yun, and said: "I wasn't talking about Dao Huang, but Su Yun's sword"
"Su Yun?"
Jiang Qing Long and the rest looked at each other, with perspiration trickling down their faces.
In truth, they could not be blamed, Su Yun's release of swords had suddenly increased in a breath of time, and initially, when everyone could no longer see their exchange of attacks, how could they see that Su Yun had increased his speed by a fold? Seeing that Dao Huang's face was cut, everyone thought that Su Yun was lucky.
"I never thought that there would be someone who could unleash such a quick sword!" Li Chang who had his hands folded across his chest suddenly spoke out.
Han Yue Xin looked at him, then said: "I wonder whose sword is faster, comparing Young Noble Li and him."
Li Chang's eyes squinted slightly and replied indifferently: "I want to find out as well."
On stage.
Dao Huang ferociously wiped away the blood on her face, the red in her eyes becoming even more dense.
To any ladies, their face was the most important and to any female cultivator, their face was also the most important. They could give up on their cultivation or their life, but never on their beauty. Although Dao Huang was fierce, she was still a lady! For the other party to actually harm her face, how could she bear that humiliation?
"Since young, no one has ever hurt my face before!!! Su Yun! I will slice you into a thousand pieces!!!"
Dao Huang roared, she held her blade tight and rushed forward again. When she approached, Su Yun was clearly able to feel that the Wild Blade Spirit Qi in her body had started to change, actually morphing into an extremely strange Spirit Qi!
It was a type of Spirit Qi that was faster than the Swift Wind Spirit Qi and more powerful than Wild Blade Spirit Qi, a type of Spirit Qi that Su Yun had never seen before!
When Dao Huang got close, she roared out: "Howling Wind Torrential Rain!!"
The Thin blade unleashed many dense Blade Qi that rushed towards Su Yun like rain, coordinating with her ferocious frequency of attack and in that second, she had unleashed over a thousand attacks!
If it were any ordinary person, they would have long been smashed into powder!!
Su Yun's face turned serious, without hesitating, he moved quickly and unleashed his 7th Tier Imperial Equipment, causing a thick and majestic Divine Qi to envelop his body.
Regardless of how ferocious Dao Huang's attack was, they were unable to break through the Divine Qi! The Thin blade Qis that struck the Divine Qi was like hitting on an invincible steel board, other than the sounds produced, there was not even any ripple or undulation formed.
"Imperial Equipment?!"
Dao Huang was surprised.
How could she have known that Su Yun would have an Imperial Equipment as well! And it was also a defensive type equipment
"What a fast blade! The Blade Qi is also extremely stable, but it isn't enough just by relying on that!"
Su Yun snorted, he looked at Dao Huang coldly, no longer courteous.
He removed the Imperial Equipment and changed his Spirit Qi attribute into Pure Divine Spirit Qi. He unleashed Divine Wind Sword Technique and his arms started to make many large gestures. They may seem extremely slow, but it was the formation of a large quantity of ferocious attacks! The true torrential storm of sword attacks came out.
Fast!
It was a speed that surpassed what any senses could catch, faster than what the eyes could see!
A speed that choked people!
Even faster than the speed of sound! Even quicker than lightning!
Even the sword images could not be seen by the spectators!
It was as though the world was being thrown behind by the swift sword!
Dao Huang panicked, her heart almost jumping out from her throat. She could clearly feel the speed and power that Su Yun had unleashed on her.
Dao Huang immediately used [Quick Blade Arts] blocking Su Yun's countless of swords that were faster than lightning.
Clang clang clang clang!
Clear and crisps sounds exploded out! Dao Huang realized in shock that Su Yun's attacks was multiple times faster than before!!! With every blade she produced, he had unleashed 3 swords!
~Why is the difference in speed so great?~
Dao Huang thought with cold beads of perspiration behind her back, she then realized that Su Yun had always been concealing his true strength.
She was completely suppressed in terms of speed!
Crack.
Just then, a clear sound exploded out, only to see the thin blade being deflected out from Dao Huang's hands because of the Scarlet Blood Sword, it spun in the air for a few rounds before dropping on the floor.
"Shit!"
Dao Huang panicked and before she could even think of the next move, a kick landed on her abdomen, causing her to fly.
Su Yun stared at Dao Huang who was in a panic and had lost her fighting intent, holding the Scarlet Blood Sword, he walked towards her.
Previously when fighting with Dao Huang, he brought an attitude meant to practise, hoping to absorb some skills by sparring with his opponents.
But no longer.
Because Dao Huang had revealed her killing intent not once, not twice, but multiple times.
~She wanted to kill me! She wanted to slaughter me! She wanted me to die!~
~If she wants it like that, then I won't hold back!~
Su Yun was a man who differentiated grievances and grace clearly, if the other party wanted him to die, how could he sit still and await death?
He stared coldly at Dao Huang who was on the floor, he directly walked forward with his sword aimed directly at her head.
Her head had no clothes for protection or any defense.
"Su Yun! I am Quick Blade Sect's Patriarch's daughter! You dare to kill me?!"
Dao Huang panicked, she immediately extended out her both hands and grabbed onto Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword, using all of her Spirit Force to cover her hands and hold onto the sword.
But how sharp was the sword tip? Even with the support of Profound Spirit Qi, Dao Huang's fingers started to be cut, the sword tip gradually went lower and lower, down to Dao Huang's head.
"What? Why can't I kill you? You want to kill me, but I have to be merciful to you?" Su Yun said coldly, his pale face revealing an extremely bewitching and sinister look!
Dao Huang's entire body trembled! For some reason, she felt that the current Su Yun was even more terrifying than a demon!
Seeing the two of them in a locked position, the entire competition grounds was silent, all of their eyes fixated on the stage.
All the participants around were shocked.
What was Su Yun doing? Was he truly trying to kill Dao Huang?
"Are we going to stop them?"
Liu Gu asked with a smile.
"I don't think so, Su Yun will not kill Dao Huang. Unless he wants to offend the Quick Blade Sect, he should know the proper behavior." Li Gui Fang said.
"Then he should be slicing off Dao Huang's arms or legs off and make her lose her ability to fight, so he can win the competition, but it seems to me that he is aiming for her head, if the sword goes down, isn't that taking Dao Huang's life?"
Liu Gu said.
"I too, am not sure what Su Yun is thinking." Zhang Guo Hao said.
But right at that moment, Xiao Zi Ru's face suddenly changed, she anxiously stood up and shouted: "Participant Su Yun, hold your hand!!"
Upon hearing that, the three of them anxiously looked to the stage.
Only to see that Su Yun suddenly extended his left hand to his sword sheath, and took out another subsword, without saying a word, he stabbed towards Dao Huang's head.
His movements was extremely fast, by the time Dao Huang reacted, the sub sword had already arrived!
Dao Huang's eyes opened wide, she wanted to receive the sword but was too late, she could not resist the Scarlet Blood Sword either, how could she withstand another sword?
Puchi!
The sound of sword cutting into bone and meat came out, after that, Dao Huang's hands gently dropped from the Scarlet Blood Sword and powerlessly spread out over the ground.
Without Dao Huang's resistance, the Scarlet Blood Sword stabbed down again, stabbing straight into Dao Huang's right eye.

Disregarding The Consequences
It was as though the scene froze!
The entire competition grounds was silent… The participants, the spectators, the evaluators, the host… All of them stared at the stage dumbstruck!
The situation was extremely strange.
Dao Huang twitched for a few moments, then completely lost all signs of life.
Her head was stabbed twice, unless she had some unique treasure that could preserve her life, she would definitely be dead through and through!!
Su Yun stood up then pulled out the Immortal Mystical Scarlet Blood Sword and the sub sword, putting them back into the sword sheath, as though nothing had happened.
Only then did everyone regain their consciousness.
Li Gui Fang suddenly rushed up to the stage and knelt down beside Dao Huang's body to check on her. After sensing that Dao Huang had died, her face took a great change, she immediately retrieved a pill and placed it in her mouth, biting it into powder. She then lowered her head and moved the powder from her mouth into Dao Huang's mouth, after completing that, she immediately raised her head, she stared at Su Yun coldly then screamed: "Capture him!!"
"Yes!"
A few of the guards on the grounds immediately ran over.
Seeing that, Su Yun frowned: "Why are you capturing me?"
"You killed Dao Huang! You killed a participant!!! Are you still telling us to stay out of it?" Li Gui Fang said coldly.
Su Yun shook his head: "It was by mistake! According to the competition rules, killing by mistake will not be punished!"
"By mistake? If you say it is a mistake, then it's a mistake? Who do you think you are?" Li Gui Fang snorted.
"I am Su Yun! Who are you?" Su Yun said indifferently: "Aren't you the evaluators invited by the hosts? Aren't you supposed to stop me even before I accidentally killed Dao Huang? Why didn't you? Now that she's dead, you should all bear half the responsibility, because you guys did not do what you were supposed to do, so if you want to capture me, you guys cannot run from your responsibility either!"
"You!!!"
Li Gui Fang was speechless against his words.
Although she was an evaluator, she was not the biggest, there were still the four pavilions in the air and those were the true important figures of the competition! In a nice way to put it, they were evaluators, but in an ugly way of saying it, they were there to work for dirty money!
Just then, evaluator Zhang Guo Hao stood up: "Participant Su Yun is right, an accidental kill is an accidental kill, he should not be held responsible, if it was deliberate, how could we not see that? And why would we let it happen? It is because it was accidental and unforeseen, no one expected such a situation, thus participant Dao Huang died! This matter can only be called an accident and the fault does not lie with Su Yun."
Upon hearing that, the other two evaluators kept quiet.
In truth, Zhang Guo Hao spoke rather tactfully, if everyone agreed with Li Gui Fang that Su Yun had intentionally killed Dao Huang, that would mean he managed to kill her in the presence of the four evaluators, who were supposed to prevent such a matter, so how could the evaluators escape from such a thing?
"How can that do? How can they treat it as such!?"
Suddenly, a furious shout came out from the Group A stands.
Everyone turned to look and saw that a few participants from the Quick Blade Sect stood up and were all staring at Su Yun with anger! Previously, the sturdy man who was kicked by Su Yun before, stood up and pointed at Su Yun angrily: "Su Yun has to pay for killing, he murdered our senior sister, how can we leave it like that? We want him to pay with his life!!!"
"Yes, pay with his life! Su Yun has to die!!"
"He has to die!"
The participants from Quick Blade Sect all shouted in agitation.
It wasn't just them, even the few who were trying to curry favor with the Quick Blade Sect or the spirit cultivators who liked Dao Huang all stood up, protesting out loud.
It was the first accidental kill to happen in the competition, so naturally, the response would not be small.
During the competition, both participants would cautiously avoid attacking the enemy's heads, as no matter how powerful a spirit cultivator was, the head and the heart were vital parts that upon being struck would lead to death or being crippled.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud smashing sound came out, evaluator Xiao Zi Ru stood up, she coldly glanced around and snorted: "What are all of you doing? You want to rebel?"
Everyone kept quiet.
Seeing that Xiao Zi Ru was acting up, all of the Quick Blade Sect's people calmed down slightly but all of them looked at her with eyes of unwillingness.
The sturdy man walked up a few steps and out of the participants stand, then cupped his fists towards Xiao Zi Ru and spoke: "Master Xiao, we have no other intent, we're just hoping to seek justice, Dao Huang cannot die for nothing."
"Justice? What justice? This is a competition, death is a normal thing! Previously, didn't we state that clearly in the rules?" Xiao Zi Ru snorted: "I hope that you all will not give me anymore problems, if you guys are furious about Su Yun killing Dao Huang, then after the competition, your Quick blade Sect can look for him anytime to settle the debt, but right here and right now, you guys are not allowed to do anything! Otherwise, I will cripple all of your cultivations and throw all of you out!"
"You!!!"
The sturdy man was furious, but the people behind him pulled him back.
"Senior brother, don't be angry! This competition is held by the various huge organizations, even though Xiao Zi Ru is an evaluator, she is still considered part of the officials! If you were to provoke her, you are indirectly provoking those huge organizations, at that time, even the Patriarch cannot protect us." One of the Quick Blade Sect disciples said.
"Are we just going to leave it like this?" The sturdy man gritted his teeth: "For Dao Huang to have met with mishap here, if we were to return to Quick Blade Sect, we will be punished by the Patriarch!"
"Su Yun only harmed her fleshly body, her spirit and soul still exists, we can just take senior sister's body back first, the Patriarch will definitely have a way to revive her!"
Upon hearing that, the sturdy man thought for awhile, then clenched his fists and nodded: "Such a revival will not keep her cultivation, but will keep her life! Alright then"
The Quick Blade Sect's people calmed themselves down and returned to their seats.
Seeing that, Xiao Zi Ru spoke to the startled Zhu Wen: "Continue with the competition."
"Oh yes, yes!"
Zhu Wen nodded his head, then shouted out loud: "Now, everybody, although there was a minor accident in the competition, but it will not affect anything, let us continue with our next round!"
Everyone immediately screamed out loud.
The next round of competition welcomed the passionate screams of the spectators.
It was not rare for deaths to occur in the Ultimate Martial World's competitions, but this time, it was slightly more special as the daughter of the Quick Blade Sect's Patriarch was involved, many people could not help but be worried for Su Yun.
The Quick Blade Sect's People kept Dao Huang's body, where a few of the already eliminated Quick Blade Sect Disciples quickly headed back to the sect for the Patriarch to revive his daughter.
As for Xiao Zi Ru and Liu Gu, they flew up towards one of the pavilions. Standing outside the pavilion, they bowed down respectfully, and after obtaining approval, the two of them went in.
After a moment, the two of them left the pavilion and returned to their seats and continued to observe the competition.
Su Yun returned to his seat, his expression not changing much.
But other than Lu Zhan Yuan, the other people subconsciously sat further away, as though they were intentionally maintaining a distance with Su Yun.
Su Yun understood their intentions, although the people of the various huge trading organizations did not see the Quick Blade Sect as anything, the various Spirit Cultivators were not the same! After all, how could they resist a sect alone? For Su Yun to have killed Dao Huang, he had immediately offended the sect and would become the public enemy, if they were to mix with him, who knew whether they would be mistaken as part of his group and would be pulled into trouble.
Lu Zhan Yuan no longer knew what to say to Su Yun.
Previously, he had asked for Su Yun to give up on the competition, but who knew that not only would Su Yun not give it up, he even killed Dao Huang in the competition! Compared to other participants, Su Yun was much more vicious!!!
Lu Zhan Yuan hesitated for a moment, then spoke softly: "Many of the sects here have communication treasures, I believe that the news of Dao Huang's death would have been spread to the patriarch of the Quick Blade Sect already, he is a man who will repay blood for blood and is a cunning and vicious man! He will most likely send out experts from his sect to come here! Brother Su, are you prepared to handle this?"
"I will compete first then leave New Deer City after!"
Su Yun said indifferently.
Hearing that, Lu Zhan Yuan's mouth was wide open. He thought of something to say, but seeing Su Yun's calm expression, he finally decided to stop speaking.
In Group C and D, only four participants including Su Yun remained with the rest being eliminated, while 9 people remained in Group A and B, indicating that the competition was about to be over soon.
Just then, light auras shot out once more, one from Group B and another from Group A.
Everyone anxiously turned to see who the light auras were coming from.
From Group B, the participant was a robust and strong man dressed in heavy armor, wielding a gigantic dual wield pumpkin hammer. It was rumored that this man's True Divine Spirit Qi was extremely dense and profound, he was able to cut through mountains and break the oceans, his entire body was extremely durable and no one was able to cut into his body, thus everyone called him 'Gold Steel'.
Upon seeing who the light aura came from in Group A, the entire competition grounds flew into an uproar!!
Han Yue Xin!!
Cold Sword Han Yue Xin!
From the start of the competitions, many battles had occurred, but Group A's Cold Sword Han Yue Xin had never appeared, no one knew if it was deliberate or coincidental, but now that the competition was ending, they had finally chosen her!
"That's great! It is finally time for the goddess to appear on stage!"
"Han Yue Xin, do your best!"
"Han Yue Xin, you must definitely win!"
A few excited spectators screamed out loud.
At the resting area, many of the injured participants all walked out to observe the battle, many of them had anticipation written all over their face.
"It is said that Cold Sword Han Yue Xin is a top grade famed genius! They say that she is already at the fifth stage of the Spirit Master Realm!"
"Fifth Stage Spirit Master? Why did the information that I saw indicate that her fighting strength was no more than 5000??"
"I think she has a treasure that is able to change her fighting strength, the proof of qualifications that wrote 5000 must definitely be a lie, her true strength far exceeds that!"
"Zezeze, there's such a treasure? Then we will have to take a good look at her strength!"
Han Yue Xin stood up and walked over to the stage. She was dressed in light blue robes, her white and slender fingers held onto a blue slender sword, her hair swayed along with the wind while she moved agilely, her facial features were delicate with clear bright eyes and pure white teeth, there seemed to be an internal ice mist lingering around her body, which looked like a blooming blue lotus from afar.
Gold Steel saw his opponent and was rather surprised, however, he was not afraid. He growled lightly and jumped up the stage.
Booom!
The entire stage swayed, like a large mountain had smashed onto it.
But even when the stage was swaying, Han Yue Xin remained extremely still, and continued to walk on the swaying stage.
Seeing that, Gold Steel stabilized the stage and glared at Han Yue Xin who only reached the height of his waist.
"Miss Han, I have always admired you and hope that you can be my dual cultivation partner! If you agree, I will immediately admit defeat, if you do not agree, I promise you, even for you, I will not hold back!"
Gold Steel spoke out.
"You are boasting too much, you are not fit to be my dual cultivation partner." Han Yue Xin said coldly, without being courteous.
Hearing that, Gold Steel was immediately enraged, he growled like a beast saying: "Since it is so, then fine! I hope that you will not regret your words!"
Han Yue Xin did not speak further, she raised her sword in hand and gradually unsheathed the sword.
In that moment, the temperature on the entire stage dropped fervently, almost instantly reaching zero degrees and the temperature was still dropping.
Su Yun focused, only to realize that Han Yue Xin's sword was only unsheathed half way.
