" Ning Chuan hasn't reached that level yet. 'Leaping eight realms in combat power' means relying solely on his own abilities, without any external assistance!"
One of the visitors shook his head, pointing out that Ning Chuan's sword was no ordinary object, possessing immense power.
But dissenting voices immediately followed.
"No, that sword isn't an original-style weapon; its energy fluctuations don't match!"
"Pale golden Force... I understand now, Ning Chuan cultivated the Ultimate Weapon Art, and that sword is Divine Weapon!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, causing a huge stir at the scene.
The High Star Tier Force techniques are extremely rare in the Federation, with only a handful available. They are renowned and widely known among the general public.
In particular, these guests held high positions of power and were knowledgeable about many details.
"This is terrifying! Ning Chuan wasn't even Martial Artist when he took the martial arts exam in Tianshui City, and in just a few days, he actually managed to create Divine Weapon!"
"Normally, it takes several years to generate one!"
"No wonder the military said he was destined to become Divine General!"
Many people were uneasy, their eyes all fixed on the boy in the arena.
At this moment, Ning Chuan's figure stirred up a whirlwind, wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and shot towards Wei Qiance like an arrow released from a bow.
"Qian Ce, kill him! At any cost!"
Wei Huasheng transmitted his voice coldly.
The stronger Ning Chuan's talent became, the more threatened he felt.
"Yes!"
Wei Qiance raised the Blazing Rock Saber high, gripped the hilt with both hands, and gave it a sudden jolt. The blade trembled violently, emitting a roar like that of a giant dragon.
Rock Dragon Breath!
Wei Qian slashed down with his sword in mid-air at Ning Chuan, who was rushing towards him at top speed.
Ugh!
A massive pillar of fire erupted from the tip of the blade, burning fiercely and intensely hot, distorting the very air it scorched.
Wherever it passed, the flowers and plants below burst into flames.
The pillar of fire swiftly pierced the air, leaving a charred mark on the ground.
In an instant, they arrived in front of Ning Chuan.
A wave of heat swept over him, Ning Chuan's eyes remained calm. He spread his right hand, and a pale golden Force surged forth.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword vanished.
Instead, there was a shield about half a person's height, its surface covered with intricate patterns, resembling layers of ocean waves.
Divine Weapon, the Thousand-Wave Shield!
Ning Chuan raised his shield to cover his body.
at the same time.
He channeled his Force, which flashed across the shield, layer upon layer, rising and surging in front of the Thousand-Wave Shield like a vast expanse of pale golden ocean tide.
High Heavenly Mountain Tier.
Thousand-Layer Overlapping Wave Shield!
boom!
The pillar of fire was fierce, and the pale golden Force melted rapidly upon contact, like ice and snow encountering a red-hot iron block, making it difficult to resist and only able to barely neutralize some of the flames.
Seeing this, Ning Chuan remained calm and composed.
After all, he was only First-Rank Martial Artist, and his Force strength was insufficient. His Thousand-Layer Overlapping Wave Shield had not reached Perfect Realm, so it was normal that he couldn't withstand it.
boom!
The pillar of fire burned away Ning Chuan's Force, reducing its power by less than 30%, before crashing heavily into the Thousand-Wave Shield.
Die!
A sinister smile crept across Wei Qiance's lips.
But the next moment.
His smile froze.
The shield, as exquisite as a work of art, remained completely undamaged despite the surging impact of the pillars of fire.
There was no breakage.
It did not melt.
There wasn't even a single trace of charring!
"How is this possible!"
Wei Qiance found it hard to believe.
Rock Dragon Breath is Blazing Rock Saber's killing move. Each time it is activated, a portion of its original runes is damaged. Its power is immense, and Ninth-Grade Martial Artist must temporarily avoid its edge.
"It's not completely blocked."
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Heat was transferred in, and I felt a burning sensation in my right palm.
The temperature at the handle of the Thousand-Wave Shield, where it is held, rose rapidly, exceeding a thousand degrees.
At this temperature, metals such as copper and iron will melt into a liquid state.
He couldn't withstand it with his physical body alone.
Ning Chuan tried using his Force, but as soon as he touched the hand, it made a sizzling sound and quickly dissolved.
They couldn't withstand it either.
Swish!
Ning Chuan's right hand was instantly covered with a layer of golden light, and the burning sensation in his palm immediately disappeared.
Golden Body Transformation!
Once the Vajra Body reaches the tenth level, Golden Body Transformation defensive power becomes astonishing.
The pillar of fire quickly died out.
Ning Chuan continued his advance, putting away the Thousand-Wave Shield, and closing in on Wei Qiance.
The onlookers stared wide-eyed.
They were both shocked that Ning Chuan had successfully withstood the Rock Dragon Breath and amazed by the Thousand-Wave Shield in Ning Chuan's hands.
He actually possesses two Divine Weapon?!
Whoosh!
Ning Chuan unleashed the Three Thousand Wind Shadows, his speed suddenly increasing dramatically. In a flash, he appeared behind Wei Qiance.
A short-bladed dagger materialized swiftly and was caught by Ning Chuan in his hand.
A pale golden Force flowed into it, rising and swirling like flames, transforming into a golden lotus flower.
" Explosive Lotus!"
Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he thrust out his short dagger, aiming it at Wei Qiance's back.
Thump!
As the dagger pierced the air, the golden lotus trembled and suddenly exploded.
Dozens of petals scattered and flew forward along with the dagger in Ning Chuan's hand.
Each petal transforms into a Force blade over twenty centimeters long, slicing through the air with an overwhelming sharpness.
Hearing the noise behind him, Wei Qiance felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to dodge.
But it was too late.
Ning Chuan's attack was too swift.
He was so shocked that he was momentarily stunned when Ning Chuan blocked the Rock Dragon Breath, missing a little time.
He could only helplessly watch as the daggers and dozens of Force blades attacked him.
Clang, clang, clang...
Sparks were flying everywhere.
The sharp, resounding clang of metal clashing was continuous and incredibly dense!
Wei Qiance was not pierced.
A set of deep blue light armor appeared on his body, incredibly sturdy, successfully blocking the stabs from the daggers and Force blades.
However, Wei Qiance was not unharmed.
The collision of the dagger and the Force blade sent him flying forward, landing face-first on the ground with a thud, leaving a deep trail in his wake.
After getting up, his mouth was full of mud and weeds.
He looked quite disheveled.
" Marsh Armor!"
Someone recognized the light armor on Wei Qiance's body as another powerful original-pattern weapon.
"That's outrageous! An eighth-rank soldier fighting a first-rank soldier, using the Blazing Rock Saber is one thing, but he's also wearing a defensive-type rune weapon!"
"I can understand, after all, it's a matter of life and death!"
"It's still embarrassing. We used two original-patterned weapons, one for offense and one for defense, but we still couldn't gain the upper hand!"
Many of the visitors were whispering among themselves.
Hearing the sounds around him, Wei Qiance felt both angry and somewhat frightened.
If he hadn't been wearing the Marsh Armor...
That attack just now was enough to kill him.
Wei Qiance turned to look at Ning Chuan, his gaze cold. He spat out the weeds and dirt from his mouth and said, "Don't be so smug. So what if you beat me by one move!"
The Marsh Armor possesses astonishing defense; even Peak Ninth-Grade Martial Artist cannot break through it!
I am born with an invincible position!
His words were an expression of his anger.
This also serves as a psychological blow to Ning Chuan.
"To be honest, your fighting skills are inferior to your two sons."
Ning Chuan scoffed.
Wei Qiance's face darkened.
In recent years, he has been mainly busy managing the Wei Financial Group. Although he has not forgotten his cultivation, he has rarely engaged in actual combat.
Their combat effectiveness has indeed declined significantly.
Buzz...
Ning Chuan extended his right hand, sheathing his short-bladed dagger, and a more than one-inch-long Army-Breaking War Spear emerged from his body, trembling slightly and exuding a powerful aura.
The next moment.
Ning Chuan thought for a moment, then returned the Army-Breaking War Spear to his body and replaced it with the Heaven-Shaking Staff.
There's still plenty of time.
There's no need to kill Wei Qiance so quickly.
The opponent is quite strong.
This is perfect for him to integrate these new martial arts techniques into actual combat.
" Nine Heaven-Shaking Strikes!"
Ning Chuan stomped his foot, his figure creating a whirlwind as he charged out with his staff.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
The shadows of the staff filled the sky, carrying a pale golden Force, incredibly violent, as if the air itself was about to explode.
At first, because Ning Chuan was not very familiar with the Nine Heaven-Shaking Strikes, Wei Qiance was able to withstand it.
"You certainly know how to talk big!"
Wei Qiance mocked.
But less than a minute later, he fell silent.
Ning Chuan's offensive is getting stronger and stronger.
He was like a wrecked boat in a raging storm, struggling terribly and being thrown sideways every now and then.
If it weren't for the protection of the Marsh Armor, he would probably have been seriously injured.
After performing more than ten rounds of the Nine Heaven-Shaking Strikes, Ning Chuan felt he had mastered it enough. He put away the Heaven-Shaking Staff, twirled his right hand, and grasped a huge hammer.
Ugh!
Ning Chuan unleashed the Earth-Splitting Hammer Method, continuing his attack on Wei Qiance.
Initially, due to unfamiliarity, the offensive was not fierce.
The pressure on Wei Qiance suddenly eased.
However, his face remained ashen.
Wei Qiance could sense that Ning Chuan's hammer technique, like the staff technique he had used before, was still intensifying.
He was unaware that Ning Chuan was indeed making rapid progress.
Or is it simply to humiliate him?
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Ning Chuan constantly changed his Divine Weapon and displayed his martial arts skills, fighting against Wei Qiance and gradually becoming familiar with him.
clang!
Ning Chuan gripped a giant axe with both hands and swung it down in a powerful arc, striking Wei Qiance heavily.
Mountain-Shattering Axe!
With a burst of overwhelming power, Wei Qiance sent flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into a courtyard in the garden with a loud bang, sending rubble flying and dust billowing everywhere.
Wei Qiance quickly scrambled to his feet from the ruins, staring at Ning Chuan with a murderous glint in his eyes.
His face was covered in large bruises, and there was a bloody gash on his forehead.
While the Marsh Armor boasts strong defense, its coverage area is limited.
The head isn't in it.
These injuries are just superficial wounds from the impact and are not serious.
Being constantly suppressed and beaten enraged Wei Qiance.
Swish!
Force surged beneath Ning Chuan's feet, and with one step, he leaped dozens of meters, closing in once more.
"Die!"
Amidst Wei Qiance's furious roar, he channeled his Force into the Blazing Rock Saber and swung it at Ning Chuan.
boom!
The Blazing Rock Saber pierced the sky, and the fiery red patterns on both sides of the blade suddenly exploded.
Countless flames surged forth, scorching intensely.
However, under the influence of some invisible force, it surged into the Blazing Rock Saber, causing the speed and power of this strike to increase several times over in an instant.
The air was compressed into a crescent-shaped wind blade, which adhered to the front of the blade.
The spectators on the sidelines all paled.
Wei Qiance sacrificed his self-destructing Blazing Rock Saber in exchange for his strongest slash.
Ugh!
The wind howled, shaking Ning Chuan's black hair into a wild dance.
"That strike was powerful!"
Ning Chuan stared intently at the rapidly approaching Blazing Rock Saber.
He sensed danger.
However, Ning Chuan remained calm and composed, responding methodically and in an orderly manner.
He sheathed his Mountain-Shattering Great Axe and materialized the Thousand-Wave Shield, into which pale golden Force continuously surged, unleashing the defensive martial art Thousand-Layer Overlapping Wave Shield.
at the same time.
The right hand holding the shield transforms into Golden Body Transformation.
Sizzle!
With a swift swing of his Blazing Rock Saber sliced through the pale golden wave of Force with a sound like tearing silk.
Ning Chuan remained unfazed.
Even the Thousand-Layer Overlapping Wave Shield struggles against the Rock Dragon Breath.
Moreover, this was the slash that Wei Qiance received in exchange for his self-destructing Blazing Rock Saber.
It's normal to not be able to resist.
His goal was simply to increase resistance and slightly reduce the power of the strike.
The Blazing Rock Saber tore through the Force, and with a clang, struck the Thousand-Wave Shield.
Sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks exploding.
Buzz...
The Thousand-Wave Shield, pressed against the Blazing Rock Saber, trembled violently, the frequency increasing rapidly, seemingly reaching its limit.
The next moment.
The Thousand-Wave Shield exploded with a roar, turning into a cloud of golden mist that returned to Ning Chuan's body.
Divine Weapon are essentially formed from energy.
There is no damage.
Even if it shatters, it can reform after a period of time.
Ugh!
The Blazing Rock Saber continued its descent.
However, compared to before, the speed has decreased by nearly half.
clang!
Another deafening roar followed.
The Blazing Rock Saber struck Ning Chuan's Golden Body Transformation right hand hard.
In the aftershock of the collision, the golden light covering Ning Chuan's right hand trembled violently and shattered on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, the Blazing Rock Saber also trembled, and fine cracks spread across its blade like lightning. With a crack, it shattered into countless fragments.
Ning Chuan gazed intently into that direction.
At this moment, a wound appeared on the palm of his right hand, dripping with blood.
However, due to the layers of defense from the Thousand-Layer Overlapping Wave Shield, the Thousand-Wave Shield, and the Golden Body Transformation, most of the power of the Blazing Rock Saber was neutralized.
The knife wound didn't damage any bones or tendons; it was just a superficial injury.
With a thought, Ning Chuan covered his palm with a pale golden light, sealing the wound and stopping the bleeding.
opposite.
Wei Qiance swallowed hard, staring intently at Ning Chuan, his heart churning with turmoil.
His trump card was the slash from the self-destructing Blazing Rock Saber.
I originally thought that even if I couldn't kill Ning Chuan, I could at least severely injure Ning Chuan and leave him on the verge of death.
In the end, it was just a minor external wound with a little blood.
" Ning Chuan, let's stop this no-holds-barred fight."
As Wei Qiance spoke, he quickly retreated.
"I admit, the Blazing Rock Saber is damaged, and I can no longer harm you, but I have the Marsh Armor, and your attacks cannot break through its defense!"
Wei Qiance explained the reasons.
He didn't want to continue.
With Blazing Rock Saber gone, he can only take a beating from Ning Chuan.
Although it wouldn't cause serious injury, it would be incredibly embarrassing to do it in front of so many people.
"You will die tonight!"
Ning Chuan withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiance's gaze darkened, and he said, "I know your plan: to exhaust the Marsh Armor's energy through continuous attacks!"
At this point, Wei Qiance sneered and said, "We have been fighting for ten minutes, and the Marsh Armor has only consumed about 30% of its energy."
There were less than five minutes left until the end of the match.
You can't kill me!
You'll find out soon enough.
Ning Chuan spoke calmly, opening his right hand, which was enveloped in pale golden Force, manifesting as a magnificent battle spear.
This is one of his most powerful Divine Weapon.
Army-Breaking War Spear.
and.
The Army-Breaking Killing Method is also one of the strongest offensive martial arts he has mastered.
The combined power of the two will far exceed the extent of his previous attacks.
"How dare you boast like that! Show me what you've got!"
Wei Qiance didn't believe it at all.
He felt that Ning Chuan wanted to continue humiliating him.
Ning Chuan stopped speaking to Wei Qiance and, with the support of Three Thousand Wind Shadows, took a leap and closed in on him.
Ugh!
Ning Chuan unleashed a powerful strike with his spear, employing the Army-Breaking Killing Method with astonishing force.
The spear pierced the air, containing terrifying power, and with a loud boom, struck Wei Qiance heavily, causing the light armor covering his body to flicker violently.
"This..."
Wei Qiance's expression changed instantly.
This single shot drained Marsh Armor's energy equivalent to that of seven or eight previous attacks.
Ugh!
A magnificent war spear filled Wei Qiance's vision and struck again.
Wei Qiance quickly activated his Force to defend himself.
However, Ning Chuan's combat skills far surpassed his, even reaching a level of overwhelming superiority, and his Force defense was completely ineffective against him.
Unless he covers his entire body with the Force.
However, that approach is too weak in defense and not very effective.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots rained down, one after another, relentlessly striking Wei Qiance, whose Marsh Armor flickered wildly.
The mockery on Wei Qiance's face vanished, replaced by utter terror.
Each impact seemed to be knocking on the door of his death.
" Ning Chuan, I was wrong. I shouldn't have provoked you that day. Please spare my life!"
Wei Qiance immediately begged for mercy.
He wanted to set conditions, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
All he could think of was giving money.
But Ning Chuan just received 100 billion, and his net worth is only a few billion.
"I apologize, I admit I was despicable!"
Under the threat of death, Wei Qiance trembled with fear and frantically begged for mercy.
I told you, you would die!
A cold voice rang out.
Ning Chuan, wielding his spear, continued his relentless attack. With a bang, another heavy slash landed on Wei Qiance, sending him flying. At the same time, the Marsh Armor flashed once more.
" Ning Chuan, if you don't stop, I'll self-destruct my Marsh Armor and take you down with me!"
Wei Qiance's eyes were bloodshot as he roared desperately.
"Your shield was shattered by Blazing Rock Saber; you couldn't have stopped it!"
Ugh!
Ning Chuan's response was once again a magnificent and swiftly swung spear.
You forced me to do this!
A look of despair crossed Wei Qiance's face. When he saw Ning Chuan charging towards him with a gun, he gritted his teeth and detonated the Marsh Armor.
boom!
A dazzling, deep blue light shone forth, obscuring the figures of Ning Chuan and Wei Qiance.
What was the ending?
Many people in the garden had tears streaming down their faces from the blinding light, yet they were reluctant to close their eyes, their gazes filled with tension and anticipation.
Soon, the light faded.
Two figures gradually became clearer.
Ning Chuan stood tall and unharmed, a huge shield suspended in the air protecting his body.
The Thousand-Wave Shield has been re-formed!
opposite.
Wei Qiance lowered his head, his limbs hanging limply at his sides.
A spear pierced his chest.
Wei Qiance, die!
With a thought, Ning Chuan retrieved the Thousand-Wave Shield and the Army-Breaking War Spear back into his body.
Without the support of his spear, Wei Qiance's body was about to fall.
Ning Chuan reached out, grabbed his neck, and casually tossed him to Wei Huasheng's feet.
Blood stained the ground.
" Wei Huasheng, this is your gift. Happy birthday!"
