Chapter 501: A Single Sword Strike

"Add a stake?"

The Da Chen Emperor looked at Xu Jin and smiled. "It seems Official Xu is determined to win! But Official Xu, feel free to add; not to mention that you might not necessarily lose, we in Da Chen still have this much of a family fortune."

"In this battle, we in Da Chen will put up two Second-Tier Star Domains. Emperor, will you follow?"

According to Xu Jin's thoughts, the six Heavenly Authorities for star domains sent by Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao could be gambled all at once to make a profit.

Although Ying Ge was cultivated by Xu Jin's own hand and possessed extraordinary combat power,

Da Chen also hid dragons and crouched tigers, so it could not be underestimated.

However, for the first round, Ying Ge's chances of winning were still very high.

But as the words were about to leave his mouth, he pulled them back.

It would not be good if he scared Da Chen into not daring to follow.

"Follow!"

With the Da Chen Emperor's order, a high-ranking official from Da Chen immediately presented the Heavenly Authority for another Second-Tier Star Domain.

"In that case, please preside over this battle, Emperor," Xu Jin bowed.

"Good!"

"Raise the martial arts formation!"

Following the Da Chen Emperor's order, the duty-bound Imperial Guard General immediately activated the formation. The martial arts space formation, powered by several thousand Fifth-Tier star jade tablets, rose instantly. At the same time, at the formation nodes on all sides, two hundred ordinary Fifth-Tier experts began to continuously inject star power into the formation.

Starlight rose up, as if a cover had been placed over the martial arts arena, reaching a maximum height of two hundred meters.

From this moment on, unless one held a token, even an Eighth-Tier expert could not directly intervene in the battle within the martial arts arena.

Even for an Eighth-Tier expert, wanting to forcibly intervene and break through this martial arts formation would require some time.

At the same time, the Da Chen Emperor called Luo Wei, the Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak expert he had selected, to his side to give him instructions.

However, in a live duel, most instructions were just to be cautious and careful, not to be careless.

If one were to give specific tactical instructions, that would be foolish.

A few breaths later, Luo Wei, holding the martial arts arena token, activated it and stepped into the arena in one stride.

Ying Ge, who had been suspended in the air, had long since been stifled and immediately sneered.

"Finally, someone has come. I thought you Da Chen cultivators didn't even have a single man with balls, not even daring to accept a Life-and-Death Arena challenge from a disabled person like me."

If it were anyone else, they might have been enraged by Ying Ge.

But Luo Wei was different; he had just been instructed by the Da Chen Emperor himself to be extremely cautious.

"Words are useless; let us see the truth in our hands," Luo Wei sneered. Star light rose, a battle blade flashing with crimson star light appeared in his hand, and at the same instant, a Sixth-Tier supreme-grade star armor, Sixth-Tier supreme-grade star boots, and a full set of Sixth-Tier supreme-grade star weapons appeared.

"Please!"

"Please!"

*Whoosh! *

Sword light whistled, and three flying swords instantly whistled toward Luo Wei.

Luo Wei also slashed out with his blade. In an instant, the blade light surged out for several hundred meters, as if a meteor had swept past, directly knocking Ying Ge's flying sword away.

Taking a step forward, the flaming blade light slashed fiercely toward Ying Ge.

Ying Ge flew backward instantly.

The flying swords returned to slash, the three flying swords emitting a shrill sound of breaking through the air, directly shattering Luo Wei's blade light into pieces.

The next instant, the three flying swords made a sharp turn and slashed toward Luo Wei again!

After one exchange, Luo Wei already understood Ying Ge's methods.

These three flying swords were strong, but they were only strong.

Injuring him was possible, but killing him was absolutely impossible!

In his heart, he already had a tactic to slay Ying Ge.

Settling his mind, blade light and star arts erupted simultaneously, slashing toward the flying swords again.

But at the same time, the flying sword Ying Ge had been stepping on disappeared without a sound!

Star Art: Void Break!

At the same instant, a massive fluctuation of divine soul power erupted from Ying Ge's body.

Special Star Art: Mountain Move!

In an instant, the flying sword, which was hurtling toward the back of Luo Wei's head at high speed, became as heavy as ten thousand jun, yet its speed did not diminish in the slightest.

The sword light appeared behind Luo Wei's head without any warning, then shrieked as it slammed into the back of Luo Wei's head.

Luo Wei was horrified, yet he did not fear, fully activating his star armor and defensive star arts.

*Puff! *

The next instant, the sword light seemed to pierce through window paper, directly shattering Luo Wei's protective star light, and in the same instant, it shattered the defensive star art attached to Luo Wei's Sixth-Tier supreme-grade star armor.

Then, the sword light, carrying blood, along with yellow and white matter, pierced directly through Luo Wei's glabella.

Luo Wei's expression froze completely at that instant.

On the jade steps of the Three Origins Hall, the Da Chen Emperor's expression froze abruptly.

The expressions of the other ministers became incomparably ugly at the same instant.

And around the martial arts arena, the shouting of the Da Chen noble cultivators still rang out overwhelmingly.

They were all cheering for Luo Wei.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The next instant, the star light around Luo Wei suddenly dissipated, and his whole body, like a stone falling from low altitude, hit the ground with a thud.

Upon landing, he even twitched a few times like a dead fish.

In an instant, the Da Chen noble cultivators were as if they had been strangled by the throat; all the shouting disappeared at that instant!

"Who else?"

"Who else dares to fight!"

"Could it be that the magnificent Da Chen cannot find a single warrior who dares to fight a Life-and-Death Arena with a disabled person like me!"

In the center of the arena, the victorious Ying Ge roared, hammering his own chest with his one arm.

"Is there anyone?"

"Is there anyone else!"

The previous stifling and anger were completely vented at this instant.

The frustrations in his chest were fully released!

The complexions of the Da Chen Emperor and Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder Wang Kan became ugly at the same time.

They had seen that sword strike of Ying Ge's.

But they had no way to warn him.

And it was too late to warn him.

That hidden sword strike was too fast!

Extremely abrupt, and strong.

This was the fundamental reason why Luo Wei was beheaded by a single sword strike. The Prince of Luoyang, who was present, watched his own son's corpse, his lips trembling uncontrollably!

"Emperor, I concede!"

Xu Jin smiled and bowed, turned around, and easily took away the Heavenly Authorities for the two Second-Tier Star Domains from the Da Chen Ministry of Rites official.

At the same time, he said, "Emperor, what about the corresponding star domain coordinate information?"

The Da Chen Emperor waved his hand with a cold face, and someone handed the jade tablet to Xu Jin.

In the arena, Ying Ge was still roaring!

This made the Da Chen Emperor's face look exceptionally ugly.

This person had lost quite a bit of face.

Especially since Ying Ge was still a disabled person.

If this spread, countless men of Da Chen would not even dare to challenge a disabled person from Da Chen?

His gaze turned toward Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder Wang Kan.

Among the Fifth-Tier experts under his command, there were still those who could fight.

However, the certainty of winning was not very high.

Ying Ge's final sword strike was too stunning.

It was nearly a one-hit kill on Luo Wei!

This could only force the Da Chen Emperor to seek help from Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder Wang Kan.

"Emperor, I observe that this child has at least comprehended an Eighth-Tier star pattern; it is rare and difficult to deal with.

Among the disciples of our Star Palace, only the Fifth-Tier Ninth-Layer peak genius disciple Ming Chang has comprehended an Eighth-Tier star pattern and has the power to fight," Wang Kan transmitted.

"But the certainty of winning is only sixty to seventy percent."

The Da Chen Emperor had already heard the meaning in Great Elder Wang Kan's words; this was going to come with conditions.

"As long as he can win, everything will be according to the Great Elder's wishes," the Da Chen Emperor said.

"Good."

The two reached an agreement, and Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder Wang Kan looked at the Fifth-Tier genius disciple Ming Chang sitting behind him. "Go. You are proficient in defense. As long as you block his flying swords and get close, you can easily slay this child!"

"Yes, disciple obeys the order!"

The next instant, Ming Chang stepped out, bowed to the Da Chen Emperor and Great Elder Wang Kan, received the token, and stepped into the martial arts arena in one stride.

"Emperor, for this second round, should we continue to add to the stakes?" Xu Jin asked.

"Add, why not add!" the Da Chen Emperor smiled.

"Then is it still two Second-Tier Star Domains?" Xu Jin asked.

Hearing this, the Da Chen Emperor looked at Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder Wang Kan, who nodded heavily at the Da Chen Emperor.

It counted as a static state.

Seeing this, the Da Chen Emperor smiled. "It is the second round, add some more!

We cannot let the Da Chen Grand Master's good intentions go to waste.

How about Da Chen and Da Chen each put up two Second-Tier Star Domains and one Third-Tier Star Domain as the stakes for this battle?" the Da Chen Emperor said; only by adding more could he recoup his losses.

"Since the Emperor has commanded, this foreign minister will certainly accompany you. That is settled!" Xu Jin smiled and took the stakes, holding them in his hand.

Inside the martial arts space formation, Ying Ge looked at Ming Chang, who was striding over, and shouted, "Finally, someone has come. I thought Da Chen had no men."

Hearing this, Ming Chang looked at Ying Ge, who stood suspended with his sword, and sneered. "You are too stupid! I never expected that a disaster who had lost two legs and an arm would still not let you comprehend the principle of knowing when to stop!

After winning just now, if you had retreated, you could still have lived.

Now, you are seeking your own death!"

"Bragging, anyone can do that!

Come, let us see the truth in our hands!"

"Good!"

The next instant, the two rose into the air, fifty meters apart, star light rising as they prepared for the exchange.

"Please!"

"Please!"

*Whoosh! *

The moment the battle began, a shrill sound of breaking through the air rang out, but this sound was made by Ming Chang.

Ming Chang's body was rising with incomparably heavy earth-yellow star light, both hands holding a large shield, turning into a stream of light as he rushed toward Ying Ge!

At the same instant, as Ming Chang activated the star light, in the sky, one after another, fire meteors slammed toward Ying Ge!

Also at the same time, the three flying swords around Ying Ge slammed toward Ming Chang in a line!

Ming Chang's large shield smashed toward the flying swords like a mountain.

Both hands smashed continuously, directly knocking Ying Ge's flying swords back.

At the same instant, the flying swords on Ying Ge's body disappeared.

It was that same move from before.

Star Art: Void Break and Mountain Move were activated simultaneously.

Seeing this, Ming Chang, who had been keeping an eye on the flying sword beneath Ying Ge, sneered.

He had been guarding against this sword strike!

*Whoosh! *

The moment Ying Ge's fourth flying sword appeared behind his head, Ming Chang instantly turned around like a whirlwind, a mountain-shaped phantom appearing on his giant shield, which he smashed toward this flying sword.

Based on his sensing, this Shield Mountain star art of his, even if it couldn't break this sword strike, could weaken seven or eight tenths of its power!

And then, he would be able to get close!

A sneer appeared in Ying Ge's eyes.

With a movement of his divine sense, he instantly detonated the ten strands of Sharp Metal Rhyme that had long been injected into the flying sword!

*Screech! *

On the flying sword, a forest-white sword light that was incomparably sharp instantly gushed out.

It instantly pierced through the Shield Mountain star art that Ming Chang had unleashed with his Sixth-Tier supreme-grade star weapon, and along with it, pierced through this Sixth-Tier giant shield.

The moment it pierced through, the sword light, like an arrow, pierced into Ming Chang's protective star light, directly pierced through Ming Chang's protective star armor, and then slammed fiercely into Ming Chang's heart!

*Bang! *

Ming Chang's heart was instantly blasted apart.

Blood sprayed out from the heart wound like fireworks!

On the jade steps of the viewing platform, the Da Chen Emperor and the Heavenly Yang Star Palace Great Elder stood up instantly.

At the same instant, another flying sword appeared without a sound, piercing directly into Ming Chang's glabella!

Finishing move!

Ming Chang's divine soul aura and life aura disappeared in an instant.

His whole body, like a dead fish, fell to the ground and vibrated!

Because of the previous battle, the Da Chen nobles and elites watching from all sides no longer dared to underestimate Ying Ge.

So for this battle, no one dared to shout out loud.

Everyone held their breath and focused on the battle!

Everyone was hoping for Ming Chang to win a great victory!

Otherwise, it would be too shameful!

But no one expected, one sword strike!

It was actually another sword strike!

From all sides, the sound of gasping for cold air rang out in an instant!

Many Da Chen nobles and elites even had expressions of terror.

With the sword light circling to protect his body, Ying Ge stood suspended and looked confidently toward all sides. "You in Da Chen, is this all you have?"
