Chapter 545: Cleverly Seizing the Vajra

He didn't make the spectators wait long.

After Ding Hao left, Ye Liuyun directly drew the Demon Slaying Sword, pointing the blade at Meng Wentian.

"Shall we fight? The loser leaves."

Meng Wentian turned to look at Lie Hongxia, who had not yet recovered, then slowly shook his head at Ye Liuyun.

"Fighting is fine, but I can't abandon her. Since I promised her an alliance, I'll see it through."

Ye Liuyun also secretly admired Meng Wentian for keeping his word. But he said nothing more, and directly slashed at Meng Wentian with all his strength.

Seeing this, Meng Wentian's skin turned to metal, becoming a Vajra, strengthening his defense while throwing a punch at Ye Liuyun.

"Boom, boom."

Two loud bangs. Both of them flew backward at the same time.

Meng Wentian was sent flying by Ye Liuyun's slash, a white mark scored across his metallic body, which he didn't care about at all.

Ye Liuyun was also hit by Meng Wentian's punch and blown away, but the phantom of the Primordial War God blocked most of the attack, leaving him unharmed.

"Again!"

The two shouted together and clashed again.

"Boom, boom, bang, bang..."

The sound of Zhen Yuan Gong Ji echoed without cease.

If one said the previous exchange between Ding Hao and Ye Liuyun was fast enough to leave people barely reacting,

then this bout was more than enough to let the spectators feast their eyes! Their blows were flesh-on-flesh, testing not only their offensive power but also their defensive strength.

In the space between them, Ye Liuyun's sword intent had already sliced countless rifts in the void.

If anyone were sucked in at that moment, they would directly hit the black hole and turbulence of the secondary void.

Ye Liuyun also frowned secretly, thinking, "Continuing like this only drains true essence."

Thinking this, he activated his spatial power, directing every strike at the base of Meng Wentian's right arm, each arriving instantly, leaving him no chance to defend.

Even Meng Wentian's attacks could only be thrown with his left hand.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, kept his eyes on that spot, relentlessly chopping with his blade, each strike landing in the same place.

Ye Liuyun's sword intent could even cut the void; Meng Wentian's metallic body could block a few blows with no problem. If struck elsewhere, he could let Ye Liuyun slash at will. This is the advantage of his bloodline.

But receiving such high-intensity blows repeatedly at the same spot, even though Meng Wentian bore the title of Vajra, he gradually could not endure it. He felt increasing pain at the base of his right arm, which he could barely lift, let alone attack.

Seeing that this clever tactic worked well, Ye Liuyun then struck at the base of Meng Wentian's left arm.

This drew sighs from the crowd. Some praised Ye Liuyun's cleverness, others called him deceitful.

But everyone could see that Ye Liuyun would win; it was only a matter of time.

Ye Liuyun's spatial power was too strange; his blade struck instantly, and Meng Wentian could not defend against it, so the ensuing outcome was self-evident.

Meng Wentian also knew defeat was imminent. He instantly retreated, cradling Lie Hongxia in his arms, then curled his body into a metal ball and fled with her.

Ye Liuyun smiled inwardly and did not pursue Meng Wentian.

He felt Meng Wentian was honest and did not want to become enemies. As for Lie Hongxia, he could defeat her once and would be able to do so again.

If she still came seeking death later, Ye Liuyun would again grant her wish.

Inside and outside the Secret Realm, every spectator was filled with myriad emotions.

"Another heavenly pride has fallen! Is Ye Liuyun going to contend with Yu Haotian for the top heavenly pride?"

"Yeah, he lost again, and thoroughly—just rolled away!"

People said all sorts of things, but regarding Ye Liuyun they could not help but admire his strength. To win three successive battles against heavenly prides, all victories, is beyond what ordinary people can achieve.

Jing Wudi grinned from ear to ear: "Great! Great kid! You actually reached this level. I had underestimated you before!"

He estimated that Ye Liuyun, relying on his strength, could now defeat him with ease.

Su Miaoyin's face lit up with joy; she sincerely rejoiced for Ye Liuyun. Piao Yun, Hao Chengfeng, and Mo Ya each felt envy for Ye Liuyun's achievements while celebrating his victory.

Just then, an elder of the Ding Family suddenly stared at the Secret Realm and let out a loud shout.

Everyone immediately looked toward the Secret Realm. At that moment they discovered that Ding Hao had already been killed by the Twin-headed Shadow Snake.

After Ding Hao's defeat, his soul was severely damaged; he retreated directly, but had not gone far when the Twin-headed Shadow Snake caught up and killed him without hesitation.

"Hahaha, we killed a heavenly pride! Boss!" the right snake head shouted proudly.

"Not bad! Although it's a bit of taking advantage, he's still a heavenly pride. Let's hurry back; there will be another defeat soon. Whoever loses, we'll chase and kill him." Having said that, the left snake head immediately turned back.

On the way, it discovered that Meng Wentian had been defeated, then it pursued the metal sphere.

The spectators outside the arena all witnessed this scene.

The Ding Family elder roared in anger: "Such a beast shouldn't be allowed on the martial tournament stage! Look what he's done!"

Although he was furious, he had nowhere to vent. The Beast Race's disciples had not even brought an elder along, and they were inferior to the Demon Race. It was those Beast Race geniuses who came to the martial tournament on their own, and he could not take his anger out on the Alliance.

In the end he could only smash the nearby stone steps to pieces to vent his hatred.

To raise a heavenly pride, a family must pour in how much heart and resources!

Many people from various families understood this well.

At this moment, the most tense were the Meng Family elder and Elder Yanjiu. Seeing the Twin-headed Shadow Snake chase after Meng Wentian and Lie Hongxia, they knew the two were in trouble.

Yet they could do nothing but watch helplessly.

Ye Liuyun then also noticed the Twin-headed Shadow Snake pursuing Meng Wentian.

He had been so focused on the fight earlier that he hadn't paid much attention to the Twin-headed Shadow Snake. Now that the battle ended, he released his divine sense again and realized the snake was heading in the direction Meng Wentian had fled.

"Damn, could it be that the Twin-headed Shadow Snake just vanished to go chase Ding Hao? This guy is lying in wait to take advantage and strike a dark hand!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun immediately called everyone to give chase to the Twin-headed Shadow Snake.

He did not want Meng Wentian to die at the snake's fangs after being wounded in their fight.
