"It seemed you had ultimately gained the upper hand."
Feeling the spiritual power in his body completely beyond his control, Chou Tianze gave a bitter smile.
Not only could he no longer control his spiritual power, but he also had to withstand the backlash of the Blood Corrupting Sword.
Without spiritual power to suppress it, the sword would recklessly drain its wielder's Essence Blood.
Even now, just in the time it took to say a few words, Chou Tianze's cheeks had sunk another notch.
Su Yuan didn't answer. He took advantage of the opening to thrust the Crimson Origin Sword into the spiritless domain, then changed his thrust into a swing and slammed the flat of the blade into Chou Tianze.
With no ability to fight back, Chou Tianze was sent flying like a cannonball, straight out of the ring.
The battle ended with Su Yuan's victory.
But the win came so swiftly that the spectators, who had been immersed in the bloody battle just moments earlier, couldn't react at first.
Only when the referee announced Su Yuan's victory did the audience come to their senses.
The stands fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an uproar.
People said all sorts of things. Some couldn't believe Chou Tianze had lost; others marveled at Su Yuan's bizarre methods, while still others questioned whether using so many external aids counted as cheating.
The referee naturally had to address some of the doubts.
He explained that all the external aids Su Yuan had used were things he had crafted himself, so there had been no violation. Only then did the objections gradually die down.
As for the two Nascent Soul True Lords in the stands, they remained silent for a long while.
Yang Hao True Lord was naturally in a complicated mood.
