Chapter 48: I Still Have One Move Unused

The faceless general beside him saw this, slammed a heavy fist into the ground, his body swelling another circle, he raised the bloody flesh tombstone high and smashed it fiercely at Xu Fengnian.

Two fierce attacks came again! Yet Xu Fengnian merely turned the sword in his hand,

In his eyes, a chilling killing intent burst forth,

"Silence!" Buzz! As the sound fell, the surroundings instantly fell silent.

The world shifted from daylight to night, as if an indescribably powerful terror loomed above the nine heavens,

Using its massive body to block all light.

The scene was pitch black, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The audience stared intently at the center of the stage, though they could see nothing,

An inexplicable fear surged into their hearts at this moment. Splish-splash——At this time,

The sky poured down a torrential rain. Each drop of rain was like a weird, creeping insect,

Quickly crawling over everyone's entire body present.

A strong discomfort instantly invaded their senses.

They wanted to take off their clothes and put them on their heads to block the wind and rain,

But as soon as the rain touched their noses, an extremely strong fishy stench assailed them.

They realized that what fell from the sky was not rain, but blood.

"Night, blood rain……"

The audience sucked in a breath of cold air.

Clang clang——Just then, a weird, terrifying sound of a blade scraping the ground came again from the center of the stage.

The terrifying, eerie darkness, the pouring blood rain, and the chilling sound of a blade being sharpened.

The audience felt as if they were in a nighttime bathroom, eyes closed while washing their hair, when the lights suddenly went out and the last glimmer in their eyes vanished.

Everything fell into a blur.

At this moment, a terrifying figure, holding a great sword, stepped closer step by step.

The worst part was, they could hear this person's voice, but the constantly spraying water kept them from opening their eyes, leaving them unable to resist,

They could only let it approach slowly.

"I don't know why, but my neck feels waves of chill."

"I feel like someone is holding a sword to my neck; if I turn my head, my head will be cut off!"

"Never mind that, I'm inexplicably nervous—what did the summoned creature that the Dragon Nation athlete summoned just say?"

"It sounded like he said, killing the faceless general and Chi Banruo takes only a single finger!"

"Wait, quick, look at the stage!"

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone's gaze turned toward it.

On the stage, rings of scarlet flames rose up, encircling Xu Fengnian at the center, bringing a faint light to the stage.

At the same time, the figures of Chi Banruo and the faceless general also appeared then.

They were only a step away from Xu Fengnian!

Even, the sharp claw tip of Chi Banruo nearly touched Xu Fengnian's neck!

But at this critical moment.

Xu Fengnian suddenly gripped the sword hilt tightly, the surrounding scarlet flames instantly flared, and his eyes condensed killing intent,

He coldly uttered a single word,

"Slash!"

Buzz! In an instant, endless killing intent coiled around the blade.

Xu Fengnian swung diagonally, like an ancient general drawing a long sword from his waist,

He unleashed a sword qi that shocked heaven and earth, made ghosts and gods weep!

The pure and powerful sword qi, upon appearing, shook the surrounding space into distortion,

Containing an imposing aura like tens of thousands of troops.

Pfft! The terrifying power directly split Chi Banruo in half!

It widened its eyes, staring in disbelief at its broken body, its gaze filled with extreme panic and unease.

The sword qi, entwined with the blood rain, sliced across the sky, leaving an indelible mark at the distant horizon.

The faceless general a bit farther away witnessed this sight,

Quickly he smashed the tombstone toward the ground, forcibly breaking off the attack.

It couldn't believe that the mighty Chi Banruo…… had actually been killed in a single blow!

And its body was emitting a strong warning.

If it didn't flee now, death would be imminent!

However, before the faceless general could recover from his shock, a voice suddenly rang in his ears,

"The second form is called…… Split!"

A few simple words, like a bolt from the blue, made the faceless general's massive body tremble slightly,

He hurriedly focused his gaze. Only to see, at some unknown time, a sword qi hundreds of zhang high,

Was tearing the earth apart, howling toward it!

A tremendous boom sounded!

Where the sword qi swept, the earth split open a great gap.

The faceless general, at the moment of life and death, desperately controlled his body, trying to evade that fierce sword qi attack.

But it was useless, because the sword qi was aimed straight at his head.

Just as its body was about to dodge, the sword aura suddenly turned and became a slash,

deftly separating the Faceless General's head from his body.

Red Prajna, fall.

Faceless General, end.

The audience gasped, staring dumbly at the arena's center,

shocked into silence. Yet the surroundings remained pitch black, and the blood rain in the sky kept pouring down.

"Could it be that everything ends like this? Our prideful Red Prajna is defeated so disgracefully?"

"This cannot be real!"

The audience from Great Hero Nation could not believe their eyes.

But Meng Lingchuanxi's face showed no anger of defeat,

he quietly stared toward Red Prajna, with Shanben Yilang's words echoing in his mind.

The longer the sacrifice's lifespan, the stronger Red Prajna becomes.

When the sacrifice's lifespan accumulates to 200 years, it reaches the limit offering,

at which point Red Prajna's power will hit an unprecedented peak.

At this moment, Shanben Yilang has contributed only fifteen years of lifespan.

He still has over 200 years of lifespan to use for the limit offering!

"Begin, even if you lose you cannot leave this arena alive."

Meng Lingchuanxi said coldly through his headset.

In the arena's center, Shanben Yilang inhaled deeply,

Yes, losing means death.

He does not want to die.

Therefore, he must win; he must… sacrifice lifespan! 200 years!

"Sacrifice!"

Shanben Yilang let out a roar, his eyes turning blood‑red,

his veins bulging, and black‑vine‑like tendrils sprouted from his neck,

quickly covering his entire face.

Under all eyes, behind Shanben Yilang, a massive figure coalesced.

This silhouette retained Red Prajna's ferocious face, but its body was no longer slender—it was bulky and huge,

like a massive mammoth.

With a single step, the ground trembled, and blood on the arena surged dozens of meters high.

Red Prajna—Ultimate Form.

Its terrifying power was at least ten times greater than before!

Each breath could raise gale‑filled waves.

It grasped the Faceless General's corpse with its enormous palm,

then swallowed it whole! Power surged again!

A layer of white mist swirled around its body, its ferocious visage now even more dreadful,

those hollow, soulless eyes seemed to disdain all things in the world.

Its strength now far exceeds SS Rank!

The Great Hero Nation audience saw this and almost laughed out loud,

"Yo Xi, I knew Red Prajna could not be easily beaten!"

"From now on the tide turns! I can clearly feel that Red Prajna is far stronger than before."

"Perhaps its level has already surpassed the scope of SS Rank?"

"Hahaha, our Summoned Creatures of Great Hero Nation are truly unbeatable; that Xu Fengnian is just scum,

a clown before Red Prajna!"

However, the Xiao Han Republic audience could not stay seated,

"Hey, why does Great Hero Nation get to devour our Faceless General? Did you even ask our opinion?"

"Baka, our Red Prajna devouring your Summoned Creatures is just giving you face!"

"Exactly, if it were Dragon Nation's Summoned Creatures, we wouldn't be interested in devouring them; you should feel honored!"

"In any case, this match is a guaranteed win for Great Hero Nation; you Xiao Han Republic can at most get an assist,

don't take cheap advantage and act cute."

"Hahaha, Xu Fengnian, being defeated by Red Prajna is the greatest honor of your life!"

Mockery and insults filled the Divine Ghost Killing Arena.

Shanben Yilang, who sacrificed 200 years of lifespan, now wore a manic grin,

"Hehe, weren't the Dragon Nation people just so arrogant?"

"Come on, show me an even more arrogant move."

"Didn't expect I still had this trick up my sleeve!"

Shanben Yilang thought victory was in his grasp.

Zhang Cheng looked at him and helplessly shook his head.

Immediately, Xu Fengnian's voice rang out again,

"Do you know why the rain hasn't stopped?"

"Because I still have a move not yet used!"

Huh? The onlookers were all stunned.

Only to see Xu Fengnian suddenly stamp the ground, with rings of cracks spreading outward in all directions.

Afterward, he gripped the sword hilt with one hand, tip pointing down, and the blood on the ground seemed to come alive,

madly converging toward the blade.

Taking Xu Fengnian's sword as the center, the killing intent of the entire mysterious arena and even the surrounding thousand miles,

at the same time gathered at an astonishing speed.

The nine clusters of scarlet flames behind Xu Fengnian also clung to the sword,

transforming into nine blood-red gems, bearing the surging mighty power.

The blood rain in the sky gradually weakened. At the same time,

A colossal sword shadow, like divine punishment, began to coalesce in the sky.
