After Xiao Yan's fire shield shattered, the flaming armor on his body could no longer withstand Gu Changge's Primordial Supreme Art and Qianyuan Seal, two Emperor Techniques, and was blasted to pieces.
"Pfft!"
Xiao Yan was finally struck by Gu Changge's attack and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"How could you be this strong..."
Xiao Yan clutched his chest, collapsed to the ground, and spoke unwillingly.
Xiao Yan had been defeated.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for publicly defeating Son of Heaven's Mandate Xiao Yan once again. Xiao Yan's Dao Heart has been damaged, and his Destiny Value has decreased by 300 points. The host is rewarded with 3,000 System Points."
At that moment, the system's notification sounded.
"Gu Changge, do you dare fight me!"
Just as everyone was still focused on Gu Changge's victory, another voice rang out.
"Who is this guy?"
"No idea. It looks like he is with that kid who challenged the Tianyuan Academy Dao Child before. They are both wearing black cloaks."
The people on the viewing platform discussed among themselves.
"Oh? It seems Xiao Yan's defeat just now taught you nothing at all."
Gu Changge spoke indifferently.
The newcomer was none other than Lin Bing.
Flames of rage flashed through Lin Bing's eyes. Gu Changge had severed his future and stolen his woman; there could never be reconciliation between them. Besides, how could any confident Son of Heaven's Mandate shrink back before an enemy?
"Emperor Ice: Sever!"
Since Lin Bing had only been a menial disciple at Tianyuan Academy before, he had not been qualified to learn the academy's Emperor Techniques. Thus, during his adventures through the Northern Region with Xiao Yan, he had fortuitously obtained several volumes of Emperor Laws and Emperor Techniques.
To Lin Bing, the more important gains were the three Spirit Seeds he had acquired: Profound Nether Crystal Ice, Grand Origin Ancient Ice, and Six Void Heaven Ice.
The Emperor Techniques and Emperor Laws Lin Bing had acquired were cultivation methods suited for use with Spirit Ice, making them complement each other perfectly.
"Tianyuan Imperial Hand!"
Gu Changge unleashed Tianyuan Academy's ultimate Emperor-tier defensive move, the Tianyuan Imperial Hand, blocking Lin Bing's attack.
"Nirvana Ice Lotus!"
Lin Bing forcibly fused the three Spirit Ices together, forming a crystalline, translucent ice lotus.
"What terrifying pressure."
"This kid actually has three Spirit Ices."
Several Rogue Cultivators watched Lin Bing unleash such a powerful Emperor-tier cultivation method and spoke in shock.
"Flying Feather Spear Technique!"
Wearing the Flying Feather Battle Armor and Flying Feather Battle Boots, Gu Changge wielded the Azure Nether Spear and swiftly unleashed an Emperor Technique at the Nirvana Ice Lotus flying toward him, piercing straight through it.
"That Tianyuan Academy Dao Child is truly formidable. He can even pierce an Emperor Technique formed from the fusion of three Spirit Ices."
"Yeah. To pierce such a terrifying ice lotus, his cultivation must be at least two or three major realms above that kid on the stage."
Disciples from other great factions who had come to watch the excitement remarked.
"How is this possible!"
Watching his proud ultimate move be broken by Gu Changge's single spear strike, Lin Bing spoke in disbelief.
"Blood Surge Fist!"
Gu Changge launched an Emperor Technique fist art at Lin Bing.
"Emperor Ice: Guard!"
Lin Bing hurriedly cast an Emperor Technique in panic, barely blocking Gu Changge's attack.
"Qianyuan Seal!"
Gu Changge gave Lin Bing no time to catch his breath. He formed seals with both hands again and launched an Emperor Technique at him.
Lin Bing had no time to use a defensive move or an escape technique and was knocked to the ground.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully defeating Son of Heaven's Mandate Lin Bing before everyone. Lin Bing's Destiny Value has decreased by 350 points. The host is rewarded with 3,500 System Points."
After defeating Lin Bing, the system's notification sounded.
Holding the Azure Rainbow Sword, Gu Changge walked coldly down from the martial stage and looked at the two Sons of Heaven's Mandate lying on the ground.
"Gu Changge, what are you trying to do? This is the site of the martial arts competition. If you kill me, everyone will condemn you."
Seeing Gu Changge approach step by step with an Emperor Weapon in hand, Xiao Yan spoke in panic.
"Oh? Since when has this Dao Child ever cared about other people's opinions?"
Gu Changge said coldly.
"Since you no longer have any value left to exploit, the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn. I will send you on your way."
Gu Changge said.
Then, with a lift of his hand and a fall of his sword, he slew Xiao Yan and Lin Bing with a single strike.
As for the opinions of everyone else present? Who would pay attention to the fates of two nameless nobodies and defeated men?
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Heavenly Mandate mission: eliminate/subdue Son of Heaven's Mandate Xiao Yan (1/1). Reward: Heavenly Mandate Treasure, Flame Swallowing Pot." "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the Heavenly Mandate mission: eliminate/subdue Son of Heaven's Mandate Lin Bing (1/1). Reward: Heavenly Mandate Treasure, Ice Devouring Talisman."
After killing the two, the system sent two more notifications announcing the completion of Heavenly Mandate missions.
System, show my personal information.
Gu Changge thought.
