Yun Mo's expression tightened slightly. He looked at the Great Elder, who had his back to him, in the distance, with a somewhat helpless expression.
What's so interesting about this?
Is it possible for Su Chen to win?
In his view, such a thing was almost impossible. In the past, when the Haoran Sect won, he at least knew the approximate strength of the Disciple of the Qiudao Peak. After all, he was a Primordial Golden Immortal. Wouldn't it be easy for him to see through a Heavenly Immortal?
But Su Chen only seemed to be at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage. He used all his skills in every match, so how could he possibly defeat Duan Yunlin?
Although victory is impossible, if Su Chen has other Trump Cards, it might be possible to block this attack, but that's about it.
As the smoke cleared, the crowd could vaguely make out a figure lying on the ground.
"He couldn't even block such an ordinary attack; this kid really got to the semi-finals by luck."
"You bet he is. I wonder if this kid just died?"
"It can't be that bad, can it? The Haoran Sect hasn't made a move yet. If Su Chen were really going to die, the Haoran Sect would definitely have intervened. The fact that they haven't means it's not fatal yet."
Discussions continued, and many people couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the person lying on the ground.
That ended way too fast.
It was over in one move.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, many people suddenly frowned. Why didn't that person standing there look like Duan Yunlin?
The Jinyang Sect Master's expression also changed, his eyes filled with solemnity. Duan Yunlin was his Direct Disciple, and the figure standing there was not Su Chen at all.
As the smoke and dust completely dissipated, Su Chen stood there calmly, while Duan Yunlin lay on the ground, barely alive. Rift appeared on his body, and even his Golden Sun Physique seemed on the verge of breaking apart.
The Jinyang Sect Master's expression changed drastically. He suddenly appeared on the Arena Platform and used his Immortal Energy to soothe Duan Yunlin's injuries.
Fortunately, although the injury was serious, it did not affect any vital areas and will not cause any lasting problems. However, it will probably take some time to recover.
What is going on!?
Not only him, but everyone was stunned, looking at Su Chen with extremely shocked expressions.
How could he possibly win!?
What exactly happened?
The entire Martial Arena fell into a deathly silence; no one could utter a word.
The high-ranking members of the three major sects suddenly stood up, looking at Su Chen in disbelief. His Cultivation Level was indeed only at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage realm, so how could he defeat Duan Yunlin at this level?
How did he manage to do that?
The Jinyang Sect Master led Duan Yunlin back to his position. Thanks to the healing he had just received, Duan Yunlin's injuries had improved considerably. He looked at Yun Mo with a somewhat gloomy expression:
"Sect Master Yun, isn't this a bit unfair of you? You have to interfere in the battles between juniors at the Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Yun Mo frowned slightly; he naturally understood what the Jinyang Sect Master meant.
It's certain that Su Chen is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm; this couldn't have escaped their notice. But since he's only at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it's practically impossible for him to defeat Duan Yunlin.
It should be noted that Duan Yunlin was already Heavenly Immortal Perfection at the peak of his cultivation, and possessed the Xuan Yang Immortal Body. His actual combat strength was definitely around the True Immortal Late Stage. If he had any other Trump Cards, it was not impossible for him to even reach the Half-step Profound Immortal.
Although Yun Mo was also somewhat shocked that Su Chen could defeat Duan Yunlin, he had indeed not helped Su Chen. He said coldly:
"Sect Master Shi, aren't you going a bit too far? How could I possibly help Su Chen right under your noses?"
Sect Master Shi's expression was somewhat indifferent. He naturally couldn't believe that Su Chen could defeat Duan Yunlin, given his strength. He was certain that someone from the Haoran Sect was behind this.
Huang Bingyan's expression also became slightly serious. She hadn't figured out what had just happened, and convicting someone without concrete evidence was indeed not a good idea.
After hesitating for a moment, she said in a deep voice, "Su Chen of the Haoran Sect is indeed too strange in strength. How about this, we remove the Divine Sense shield and let him compete in the final round. Then we'll see what the situation is."
"How?"
Seeing this, Sect Master Shi didn't say much. If Su Chen could defeat Duan Yunlin in one move, it meant he could easily defeat Pang He as well. If he couldn't easily defeat Pang He, it meant that Su Chen had definitely used some illegal methods.
The Three Sect Grand Competition does not restrict the use of Items and abilities, but all are within the normal range; as long as it is one's own power, it is permissible.
If he possesses the Divine Sense of Yun Mo or other Elder of the Haoran Sect, he could unleash attacks surpassing his own at crucial moments, which would be considered a violation of regulations.
Now.
The Venue began to get noisy, and many people started to realize what was happening. They stood up, their faces full of anger.
"This kid is definitely cheating! How could he possibly defeat Senior Brother Duan, who is at the Heavenly Immortal Late Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage, especially since Senior Brother Duan possesses the Golden Sun Immortal Body? Absolutely impossible!"
"The Haoran Sect would actually do something like this for victory? It's laughable! If they're willing to cheat like this, what's the point of holding the Three Sect Grand Competition anymore?"
"If the Haoran Sect doesn't give us an explanation today, we will no longer participate in the Three Sect Grand Competition!"
The Disciple of the Jinyang Sect were all furious. They never expected such a thing to happen; Duan Yunlin had actually been defeated by Su Chen.
How could such a thing possibly happen?
Su Chen is only at the Heavenly Immortal Early Stage. Even if he can defeat enemies beyond his realm and overcome Heavenly Immortal Late Stage, or even True Immortal Early Stage, he still cannot defeat Duan Yunlin.
Moreover, he was defeated in a single move!
This seems rather unrealistic!
If Su Chen had some hidden tricks up his sleeve, and then defeated Duan Yunlin after a fierce battle, they wouldn't find it so hard to accept.
Was Duan Yunlin really weak?
Clearly very strong!
But why was Su Chen able to defeat him in one move?
Is this reasonable?
Yun Mo frowned slightly. He couldn't figure out how Su Chen had defeated Duan Yunlin either; it was just too strange.
He exchanged a glance with the two Sect Master beside him, and then joined forces to turn off the Divine Sense shield.
The instant the screen was turned off, countless Divine Sense turned toward Su Chen, almost scrutinizing him thoroughly.
However, they could not see anything; all they saw was an ordinary boy in the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Sect Master Shi's expression Yuelai grim. He could previously say that Su Chen had something hidden, but due to the Divine Sense Isolation Array Formation, he was unaware of it.
But now that the Divine Sense Shielding Array Formation has disappeared, what he sees is still Su Chen, who is only at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and there is nothing unusual about him. He is just an ordinary early stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.
There are no other special Constitution or such.
Sect Master Shi looked towards Yun Mo, his emotions also affected by the cheers from the crowd:
"Sect Master Yun Mo, don't you have an explanation? The Three Sect Grand Competition is supposed to be about exchange; this kind of behavior is simply too despicable."
