Chapter 145: You Like to Show Off, Right? Slay the Demon!

Outside the screen, countless viewers stared intently at the screen, afraid to miss even a bit of the picture.

"Hiss! Is the final battle finally about to begin?"

Someone sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Sure enough, they are all heaven's pride, such a terrifying aura—I feel like I'm watching a battle between Flying Heaven Realm experts; this is the pride of my southern region!"

"Yes, that son of the Southern King is indeed terrifying—just eighteen years old, he's already about to reach the Third Transformation Flawless Golden Body; perhaps he could break through to the Third Transformation before the college entrance exam."

"That's right, but Su Yu isn't weak either—he's on par with Nan Shou Ren. I have to say, our southern region still has plenty of monsters."

"Unfortunately, Tang Nian Bing and Wu Ling'er both have Fourth Transformation Flawless Golden Bodies; with such a realm, even ordinary Ninth Transformation Golden Body experts might not match them."

"Ah, there's nothing we can do—one is a disciple of the Jingdu Mei Wang, the other a disciple of the Northern King, so it's understandable."

Everyone discussed it loudly.

"I just don't know who will end up getting the flag."

"Didn't Tang Nian Bing say that this is our southern region's battle and she won't intervene? I guess Wu Ling'er will be the same."

"So the final victor will be decided between Su Yu and Nan Shou Ren."

"Hmph, it's definitely the Southern King's son who will win—he's the top youngster of Zhen Nan City; if he doesn't win, who else could?"

Someone let out a cold snort—clearly a supporter of Nan Shou Ren.

"Hey, that's not how you say it—I think Su Yu is also formidable; their realms are about the same, and it's still unclear who will win. Besides, isn't Su Yu also a disciple of a King-Conferred Strong One?"

"Su Yu? What is Su Yu? Nan Shou Ren grew up under the Southern King's tutelage from childhood; although Su Yu took the Slay Dragon King as his master, have you ever seen the Slay Dragon King personally guide Su Yu even a little?"

"Compared to Nan Shou Ren, Su Yu is nothing but an ant!"

Faced with the outcome of these two prideful geniuses, the whole venue instantly became noisy.

At this moment, in the virtual world.

Nan Shou Ren calmly sensed Su Yu's aura, his face showing not even a ripple.

"To reach the Second Transformation Flawless Golden Body without the aid of a King-Conferred Strong One—you are indeed a talent; unfortunately, you're facing me."

Nan Shou Ren slightly raised his eyebrows, pushing up his glasses.

In the next moment, a jade flute appeared in Nan Shou Ren's hand.

"Among those of the same realm... no one is my match!"

Nan Shou Ren snorted coldly, aimed his mouth at the jade flute, and began to play it gently.

Wuuuuu!!!!

Wave after wave of jade flute sounds rang out.

An invisible ripple spread instantly across the entire battlefield.

Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly; when he first heard the jade flute's sound, he felt nothing, but after a second or two.

Su Yu's body, however, instantly stiffened.

Sound wave attack!

Su Yu's pupils contracted violently.

To be honest, up until now Su Yu had never encountered an expert capable of controlling sound waves.

His experience with this kind of battle is severely lacking.

So when he first faced Nan Shou Ren's sound wave attack, he inadvertently fell for it.

At this moment, the blood in Su Yu's body seemed to ignite, boiling wildly.

Generally speaking, boiling blood is a good thing for a Martial Artist.

But if the blood boils excessively to the point of losing control, then it's not a good thing.

It could even ruin things!

Su Yu's eyes narrowed as he activated the Swallow Demon Heart Method to suppress his qi and blood.

After all, it's still a sixth‑level peak technique; after merging with many other techniques, the Swallow Demon Heart Method's foundation rivals some seventh‑level techniques.

Its domineering power forcibly suppressed the boiling blood within his body.

But the suppression came with a pallid complexion.

The suppression was applied, yet the harm it caused still remained.

Nan Shou Ren gave a faint smile.

"To suppress my sound wave in such a short time—you are truly a talent."

"Unfortunately, this is merely a single‑layer sound wave; if you can withstand one layer, what about two layers, three layers?"

A strange smile appeared on Nan Shou Ren's face.

Immediately afterward, he blew the jade flute again.

At this moment the sound wave became even faster.

Double sound wave!

Su Yu's complexion changed slightly; he hurriedly used Spiritual Qi to seal his ears.

However, these sound waves were everywhere—even if the eardrums were sealed, one could still hear the sound!

The previously suppressed qi and blood instantly boiled again.

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

He knew that, facing such an inescapable sound wave attack, the first thing to do was to eliminate the blower!

"I don't know... how good is your close‑quarters combat?"

Su Yu smiled lightly, bent his knees slightly, and shot forward instantly.

"That Nan Shou Ren's sound wave attack is truly impossible to guard against—unless one's strength exceeds his by one or two realms, one cannot completely avoid sound wave attacks."

"Although Su Yu's combat power is strong, amidst these strange methods he might not be able to hold on."

On the screen, many people sighed, and at the same time began to worry for Su Yu.

It is truly Nan Shou Ren's method, far too strange.

The martial artist's way, though it has many means—swords, spears, axes, halberds—but sound wave attacks on me are completely the rarest among all means.

But at the same time, such a method is also very hard to defend against.

Within the same realm, the more such a strange method, the more it becomes difficult to deal with.

However, the more strange the method, the harder it is to cultivate.

"After all, he is still the son of the South King, actually learning such a heretical method—now Su Yu is surely defeated!"

Someone shook their head, as if already seeing the scene of Su Yu's defeat.

On the battlefield.

Su Yu, like a wild horse that has broken free of its reins, instantly surged forward.

Dark golden light continually flickered on Su Yu's body.

Nan Shou Ren's eyes narrowed slightly, and the speed of his playing became even faster.

Triple sound wave!

A more terrifying sound wave attack echoed from the jade flute.

Su Yu's face turned somewhat painful, as if he were enduring some agony.

Even, near Su Yu's ear, faint traces of blood could be seen flowing out.

However, at this moment, the distance between Su Yu and Nan Shou Ren was only over ten meters!

A burst of bright light shot from Nan Shou Ren's eyes.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to hide one's clumsiness."

Quadruple sound wave!

A faint green light spread within the jade flute.

The invisible sound waves further formed a sound wave formation around Nan Shou Ren's body; even upon merely entering the formation, Su Yu felt his entire spirit and soul seemed to be affected.

In an instant, Su Yu's complexion changed wildly.

And the crowd witnessing this scene sighed even more.

"Once the sound wave formation appears, Su Yu has utterly lost any chance to approach Nan Shou Ren; this battle should end—without a chance to get close, how can Su Yu turn the tide?"

Someone said lightly.

"Hmph! I knew that the son of the South King, and actually someone like Su Yu who half‑heartedly took a master, could be a match."

"Wait until Su Yu can't hold out; the final victor will surely be Nan Shou Ren!"

Not only the audience thought so.

Even Wu Ling'er and Tang Nian Bing, who were fighting, couldn't help but look over.

Upon seeing Su Yu fall into Nan Shou Ren's sound wave formation, a flash of disappointment crossed Tang Nian Bing's face.

"Is that all you've got? If that's all you have, you're not worthy of being my man, Tang Nian Bing!"

A hint of worry flickered across Wu Ling'er's small face.

"Husband...."

Nan Shou Ren gave a cold laugh.

"Su Yu, give up; once you enter my sound wave formation, unless your strength exceeds mine by two realms, even a powerful expert with a three‑transformation indestructible golden body who enters my formation will only be tormented."

"This champion will ultimately still belong to me, Nan Shou Ren!"

Nan Shou Ren opened his arms, his gaze fixed firmly on the flag, and the fervor in his eyes surged instantly.

It seemed that at this moment he had already become the champion.

Su Yu swayed within the sound wave formation, on the verge of collapsing.

Suddenly, Su Yu abruptly lifted his head, his eyes showing no expression.

His deep black pupils, in an instant, surged with dark golden light.

The next moment, the golden‑body phantom behind him directly enveloped Su Yu entirely, and a violent might erupted instantly.

The Slaughter Demon Blade appeared in Su Yu's hands at some point.

Immediately afterward, Su Yu raised the Slaughter Demon Blade.

Seeing this, Nan Shou Ren gave a cold laugh.

"Do you really think a sixth‑level spiritual artifact can break my sound wave formation? Forget to tell you, my jade flute is also a sixth‑level spiritual artifact!"

As the son of the South King, how could Nan Huai Ren possibly lack a high‑level spiritual artifact?

However, Su Yu seemed not to have heard; his gaze was calm, a flash of black light passing through his eyes.

"Putting on a show, huh..."

Fresh blood welled from the corner of Su Yu's mouth.

"I'll make you put on a show!"

Su Yu let out an explosive shout, and the Slaughter Demon Blade in his hand came down violently.

"Slaughter Demon Blade Technique, First Form… Slay Demon!"

"Open!"

Accompanied by Su Yu's series of roars, the next moment a pitch‑black blade qi burst forth from the Slaughter Demon Blade.

In an instant, a terrifying might spread throughout heaven and earth.

Even Tang Nian Bing and Wu Ling'er, who were fighting, instantly stopped and turned their gaze toward Su Yu.

Both of their pupils contracted simultaneously.

"This is...."

All that could be seen was the pitch-black Blade Qi, carrying a force as if able to destroy everything, which ruthlessly crushed the surrounding sound waves in an instant.

Then it transformed into a terrifying Blade Light that slashed toward Nan Huairen.

Nan Huairen's face showed an expression of disbelief; from within that black Blade Light, he felt a sense of mortal danger!

"I surrender!"

Without any hesitation, Nan Huairen instantly surrendered.
