The Precise Strike
The five-foot-long Sound Killing Blade pierced the tortoise shell to its hilt, partially shattering the front of the shell. The powerful impact even caused the Purple Tungsten Steel ground beneath the shell to cave in slightly.
This shows just how powerful Yi Yun's strike was.
At this moment, Yi Yun still held the hilt of the Sound Killing Blade in one hand. Behind Yi Yun, the eight puppets that had been charging towards him had all lost their ability to move and stood still like wooden puppets.
The entire arena fell silent. People were utterly astonished by what they saw, especially the audience from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, who found it utterly unacceptable.
Yi Yun's strike pierced through Kui Yu...
Kui Yu's own body, with its proud defensive capabilities, actually couldn't withstand Yi Yun's attack.
People originally thought that Yi Yun would try to find Kui Yu's weaknesses.
However, he brutally attacked Kui Yu's main body. Faced with such an overwhelming attack, Kui Yu's defenses, his puppets, and everything else became meaningless.
"Is Kui Yu dead?"
A warrior from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom spoke as if waking from a dream.
With that kind of impact, plus the fact that his body was pierced through, Kui Yu was probably in grave danger.
"That Yi Yun is ruthless!"
Many martial artists from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom looked at Yi Yun with murderous intent. Although the Alliance Tournament did not hold anyone accountable unless they intentionally caused someone's death, the killer would naturally be hated if someone died.
An elder from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom appeared on the arena in a flash. His face was gloomy, and one hand was placed on Kui Yu Turtle Shell Puppet.
"Snap!"
The Turtle Shell Puppet was dismantled by the elder using an unknown method.
Only then did people see that Kui Yu had been pierced through the chest by the Sound Killing Blade.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was trembling slightly.
The elder of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom looked increasingly grim.
He dared not rashly pull out the Sound Killing Blade. He placed one hand on Kui Yu's chest, trying to inject vital energy into Kui Yu to prolong his life.
At the same time, he took out a Healing Sacred Pill from his Space Ring and fed it to Kui Yu.
However, when the elder of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom placed his hand on Kui Yu's chest, his expression suddenly changed.
"Um?"
He discovered that although Yi Yun's knife had pierced through Kui Yu's body, Kui Yu's meridians were not severely damaged, and even his internal organs were still relatively intact.
Yi Yun's knife pierced through the narrow gap between Kui Yu's heart and right lung.
Although it looks like it went right through his chest, the damage was actually minimal.
"The knife pierced right through the gap between the internal organs?"
The elders of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom looked at Yi Yun in disbelief.
The internal organs of the human body are basically attached together, and it is difficult to explain this by chance.
The location of internal organs varies from person to person, making it extremely difficult to avoid them with a single strike. Some swordsmen, relying on intuition, can sometimes achieve this. However, just now, with Kui Yu's body huddled within the Turtle Shell Puppet, his position was barely discernible. How did Yi Yun manage to execute that strike with such precision?
The elder of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom gave Yi Yun a deep look, "Yi Yun? I'll remember you!"
The elder pressed on Kui Yu's acupoints, stopping his bleeding.
"Can I take my knife now?"
Yi Yun's strike just now activated the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, allowing him to see through the location of Kui Yu's internal organs. Although the strike seemed fatal, Kui Yu was actually not seriously injured.
"Hmph!" The elder of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom snorted coldly, flicking the blade with his finger.
"Clang!"
The Sound Killing Blade emitted a clear hum, flew out, and landed back in Yi Yun's hand.
Yi Yun lightly wiped the blade with one hand, and all the blood on the Sound Killing Blade dripped down, leaving no trace of blood on the blade itself.
The saber is the king of weapons. In terms of the variety of moves, it is not as good as the sword, but in terms of attack power, it surpasses the sword.
In a mortal kingdom, to prevent popular rebellion, knives and swords are prohibited but not swords, crossbows and bows are prohibited but not crossbows. This speaks volumes. Especially when used by mortals, a knife can cause far more damage than a sword.
After Kui Yu's defeat, only five people remained on the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom's side.
Yi Yun stood on the arena, holding the Sound Killing Blade, its blade pointing diagonally at the ground, waiting for the next person to step onto the stage.
"Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, who will be next to fight?"
On the arena, the referee shouted loudly, looking at the people from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom.
Who should go?
The group from the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom exchanged glances, unsure of who should make a move, as many of them were not as strong as Lin Tong.
Kui Yu is even stronger than Lin Tong. In the group stage, Kui Yu played as the main player and defeated Qiu Niu, which speaks volumes.
When Kui Yu went on stage, he was instantly killed by Yi Yun. If these people went on stage, the situation would probably be even worse.
Faced with the formidable Yi Yun, the people of the Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom felt immense pressure. With so many important figures watching, no one was willing to step forward and be humiliated by Yi Yun; that would be a truly shameful thing.
"I'll go into battle..."
Just then, a deep voice rang out, and Jun Yue stood up.
"Jun Yue..."
When the group saw Jun Yue stand up, they became noticeably more respectful.
Jun Yue said, "Three people from the Tai'a Divine Kingdom also didn't participate. In the end, this Team Championship is still a contest between me and Yi Yun."
As Jun Yue spoke, she stepped onto the arena and stood ten feet away from Yi Yun.
"Jun Yue has entered the arena! The number one young talent of our Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom, he's already on stage so soon... facing Yi Yun..."
Originally, everyone thought that Jun Yue was the commander-in-chief and would only make a move at the very end, or even that he wouldn't need to make a move at all.
However, less than fifteen minutes into the group stage, Jun Yue has already taken to the field to face Yi Yun in a decisive battle.
The outcome of this battle could very well determine who wins the Team Championship.
Jun Yue...
Yi Yun activated the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal. Within the Purple Crystal vision, Jun Yue's entire body was surging with energy. He stood on the arena, as bright as the moon in the night.
"Senior Brother Yi, this person has extremely high attainments in the Gold Element Law. When fighting against him, you must watch your step, because he can even control the Purple Tungsten Steel ground."
At this moment, Yi Yun heard Wen Yu's spiritual transmission in his ear.
Yi Yun nodded slightly. The Cloud Dragon Divine Kingdom is full of geniuses. These people have different areas of expertise and combat methods. Fighting against them will greatly broaden one's horizons.
"Jun Yue is fifteen years old, more than a year older than Yi Yun, and needs to suppress her cultivation by half a minor realm," the referee of the group stage said.
Jun Yue's cultivation level was originally at the peak of the early stage of the Origin Foundation Realm. Even after suppressing it by half a small realm, she was still only at the initial stage of the Origin Foundation Realm, which was much higher than Yi Yun's.
Jun Yue nodded. Suppressing cultivation was easy; all it took was planting a mark into the body.
