Chapter 614: Sword Qi Slashes Chaos to Blue Sky

The water current condensed from the Divine Strength of Heaven Kunlun's Mountain-Moving Power, mixed with the aquatic force field of the Blue Water Golden Crystal Armor, surged under Zhang Yu's push, shaking the surrounding seawater.

Although caught off guard, the A Zhen before him remained unhurried, releasing strands of emotion-threads to shield herself.

The two forces collided beneath the water, and Zhang Yu felt as though his palm had pressed into a ball of cotton; the terrifying force was gradually neutralized layer by layer by the emotion-threads, until it completely dissipated in the depths.

Zhang Yu’s full-powered strike had achieved nothing.

But at the same time, Mu Qian Si felt a slight sting on her fingertip—a thin cut had been opened.

Looking at the flying sword hidden within that attack, Mu Qian Si realized that although she had neutralized his palm force, she had failed to block the stealthy sword edge.

Mu Qian Si exclaimed in surprise, “You weren’t affected by my emotion-threads?”

She touched her face, which had transformed into A Zhen’s: “Don’t you like this type? I clearly changed to look exactly like Bai Zhen Zhen.”

Mu Qian Si was confident that, with her cultivation in the Celestial and Terrestrial Yin Yang Great Bliss Rhapsody, boosted by military-grade magical bones, as long as he had even the slightest response to her charm, he would fall into a brief daze.

Staring at her burly body, suppressing his physiological revulsion, Zhang Yu shouted, “What’s the same about that?!”

“And even if the face is the same, so what?”

“Besides the face, A Zhen is completely different from you!”

“Inside and out, you can’t compare to her.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yu suddenly hurled the relay ball in his hand.

Watching the relay ball shoot out like a meteor under the propulsion of Heaven Kunlun’s Mountain-Moving Power, Mu Qian Si was momentarily stunned, then her expression drastically changed.

“You!”

She instantly understood—not only had Zhang Yu been completely unaffected by her charm enhanced by the Celestial and Terrestrial Yin Yang Great Bliss Rhapsody, he had even pretended to be influenced, using the chance to get close and fight to steal her relay ball.

“How… how did this guy manage that?”

“Even Kuang Tian Qing can’t remain indifferent to my charm—why could he still think about ambushing me?!”

Though shocked and furious, Mu Qian Si wasted no time; she turned and rushed toward the direction where the relay ball had disappeared.

Watching her retreating figure, Zhang Yu thought to himself that if destroying the relay ball wouldn’t violate the rules, he would have at least tried to crush hers.

Then Zhang Yu slowly opened his palm, where a faint trace of blood flickered and vanished—it was a single drop of blood that had dripped from Mu Qian Si’s fingertip when it was cut by the sword edge.

But now, as that drop dissolved into his hand, Zhang Yu felt no change in the Blue Water Golden Crystal Armor, while deep within the armor, that craving for blood continued to surge.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Is this blood no good either?”

The next moment, with a flicker of movement, Zhang Yu shot forward at high speed again, catching up to Ling Po Jun, who had just overtaken him, and reclaiming fourth place.

Watching Zhang Yu disappear into the distance again, Ling Po Jun cursed inwardly, “Back and forth, overtaking and being overtaken—what is this, a game?”

…

At the final checkpoint.

Bai Zhen Zhen watched the standoff between Zhang Yu and Mu Qian Si, her sword qi roiling.

A faint smile crept across her lips.

“This feeling… it’s the feeling of emotional fluctuation, the rising of my friendship with Zhang Yu.

“And by wielding the emotionless through the emotional…”

Bai Zhen Zhen then clicked on the series of videos titled “Kuang Tian Qing and Zhang Yu.” She barely glanced at them before feeling her sword qi surge far more intensely than before.

Enduring a pang of heartache, a piercing realization flashed through her mind: “This is using the emotional to wield the emotionless.”

“Only the more turbulent, the deeper ‘emotional’ can unleash a more profound, more relentless ‘emotionless.’”

Recording the live broadcast of Zhang Yu and Mu Qian Si’s confrontation, Bai Zhen Zhen pressed her chest and thought, “First look at the emotional, then at the emotionless—this will let my Extreme Emotion Sword Dao unleash even more terrifying power.”

At the same time, the flying sword behind Bai Zhen Zhen vibrated slightly, as if reacting to her agitated emotions.

On the other side, Kuang Tian Qing watched this scene, shocked inwardly: “Zhang Yu could even block Mu Qian Si’s charm so easily?”

She mused, “No matter how powerful Mu Qian Si’s Celestial and Terrestrial Yin Yang Great Bliss Rhapsody is, it’s still only at the Foundation Establishment realm. To enhance charm and stir emotion-threads, one must conform to the target’s aesthetic.”

“The Celestial and Terrestrial Yin Yang Great Bliss Rhapsody at the Foundation Establishment stage still can’t make someone easily fall in love with a pile of shit.”

"Zhang Yu can endure Mu Qiansi's attraction so easily—this is no longer a question of whether his Dao heart is firm or not; the problem is that this guy's aesthetic differs from the mainstream."

"Hmph, no wonder, no wonder he didn't react much to me last time either."

Thinking of this, Kuang Tianqing felt a hint of amusement in his heart: "Zhang Yu... you've exposed a fatal weakness before me. Next time, next time I will devour you completely."

Just then, someone beside him shouted, "Jiutian Liu is about to overtake for first place."

Anzhen True Lord watched the livestream and saw the Nine Heavens Shuttle bolt to first place like a thunderbolt, becoming the leader of the entire field, almost impossible to shake. He nodded inwardly, knowing that everything was unfolding as he had predicted.

"Now it's Jiutian Liu in first, Yuyun Zhan in second, Xue Jiuyou in third, Zhang Yu in fourth, Ling Pojun in fifth, Mu Qiansi in sixth..."

At the same time, someone else shouted, "Yingzhou Fan has entered the water."

"With his Celestial Demon Hundred Transformations dragon form, his speed underwater should be considerable..."

"Not just considerable—it's almost catching up to Jiutian Liu, isn't it?"

With a whoosh of water,

the giant dragon transformed by Yingzhou Fan writhed underwater, and the current behind him seemed to turn into hundreds or thousands of small hands, crazily pushing him forward.

Meanwhile, the water ahead parted automatically under his will like courtiers welcoming him, not daring to block at all.

Based on his dragon body, a high-speed tunnel of rippling water seemed to form underwater, allowing him to accelerate and accelerate, growing faster and faster.

Where the giant dragon passed, accompanied by a loud splashing, waves swept up large swathes of sand and mud, surging in all directions.

"Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster!"

Yingzhou Fan burst out with a dragon roar, twisting his dragon body to accelerate again.

Having waited on the shore for so long, the anger and battle intent in his heart had long been boiled to the point of eruption.

At this moment, he had only one thought: speed up and catch Zhang Yu! Then step on that scumbag firmly underfoot.

Roar!

Reaching the first registration area, Yingzhou Fan let out a dragon roar, and countless schools of fish in the water became energized, acting as his eyes and ears as they swept through the entire area, quickly discovering a registration sphere.

Having completed the registration, Yingzhou Fan roared again and then accelerated to sprint once more.

8th place!

7th place!

6th place!

One competitor after another was overtaken by him, and the excitement in Yingzhou Fan's eyes grew stronger.
