Mu Fan: "Shameless!"

"Ready!"

Qin Li's voice rang out from the crowd.

Shen Wenxi nodded immediately in front of him, her expression becoming more serious.

"Always ready." Mu Fan's lips curled slightly.

At the same time.

On the field.

Excitement gleamed in Shen Wentian's eyes as he looked at Gu Chen, a ferocious expression on his face.

"Now, I've done what I needed to do."

"Next, I'll show you what cruelty truly means!"

As the voice faded, Shen Wentian stepped into the void.

The void shattered in an instant, and his figure swept towards Gu Chen like a whirlwind.

Wherever he passed, the Spear Intent permeated the air. Shen Wentian himself seemed to transform into a long spear, piercing through the void and shattering everything in his path.

Once the goal is achieved, there is no reservation.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with his bloodline, at this moment, the realization he had just had left Shen Wentian with only one feeling.

Everything is under control.

"Good timing!"

Gu Chen let out a low shout, his excitement intensifying.

He had long suspected that Shen Wentian was deliberately hiding his strength, and now, the other party was finally willing to unleash more of his power.

At that moment, they also charged forward with guns drawn.

Those present, especially those of slightly higher cultivation levels, all narrowed their eyes upon witnessing this scene.

"Looks like we're about to see how things develop."

The two sides faced each other from a distance, the distance between them barely a moment's time.

Such a crucial moment.

Shen Tianxun moved.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips and a slight opening of his lips, his thoughts instantly drifted downwards towards the area below.

This is not a difficult task.

And at the same time that it took action.

Qin Li pointed a finger at Shen Wenxi's back, bit her tongue lightly, and forced out a drop of blood essence. It instantly turned into a blood mist, then condensed into a single character, which followed the direction of her finger and entered Shen Wenxi's body.

Shen Wenxi's body jolted violently, and a look of pain flashed across her face, but she quickly tensed up and tried to control herself.

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly as he glanced at the nonchalant Shen Tianxun, a smile appearing on his face:

"I see, this is interesting."

Within Shen Wenxi's body, there was a flow of energy guided by Qin Li, though the paths were different, they were heading in the same direction.

At this moment.

Xiao Ye, who was standing to the side, suddenly had his eyes filled with lightning, and lightning crackled in his palms. The next moment, he suddenly brought his hands together.

"Lightning Fall!"

Xiao Ye let out a low shout, and in an instant, lightning bolts, as thick as an adult's body, suddenly appeared in the void above where everyone was, and slashed diagonally down towards Shen Tianxun's location.

Such a sudden attack startled countless people present, who instinctively turned their attention to the spot where the lightning had struck.

Before they could react further.

Suddenly, an object appeared in Mu Fan's hand, resembling a megaphone amplified several times over. The next moment, a deafening sound resounded throughout the entire arena:

"Shameless!"

Shen Tianxun is going to cheat!

"Who!"

Shen Tianxun narrowed his eyes, looking at the approaching lightning, but didn't take it to heart at all.

To him, the power of the thunder was nothing more than a drizzle.

But at this moment, we are still on the field.

If that Lightning Fall near you, you would still lose face.

In that instant, a mental scan erased the lightning.

At that moment, Mu Fan's wolf-like howl reached his ears.

This time, a hint of doubt flashed through Shen Tianxun's mind.

"Who, how would they know?"

And just then...

Shen Tianxun suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

Suddenly, another surge of power entered the formation that he was controlling.

It's not powerful, and it's not directed at itself.

But,

"Not good!"

Upon sensing what this power had changed, Shen Tianxun's pupils suddenly contracted.

The person who should have strengthened the formation was Shen Wentian.

Now it's become that Gu Chen!

Instantly, Shen Tianxun was greatly alarmed.

Without considering the consequences, they were determined to reverse this change.

However, that critical moment...

It's over.

On the field.

The two figures were only three feet apart.

Shen Wentian's excitement was almost entirely visible to Gu Chen.

But then, suddenly...

In Shen Wentian's perception.

Gu Chen's aura suddenly surged, and his speed was so fast that it was not like climbing the steps, but rather like soaring straight into the sky!

From a sudden shock in my heart, to goosebumps rising on my skin, to a chill running down my spine, and finally to the threat of death making me feel like I was falling into an abyss, the whole process happened in just a moment.

The despair his body instinctively felt forced him to Shen Wentian an expression of excitement on his face.

Damn it!

There was no time to think too much.

The next moment, the two made contact.

Off the field, countless people who were still watching the situation on the field showed incredulous expressions when they saw what happened after the two made contact.

"How... how could this be?"

Everyone who saw it was utterly shocked.

Even Liu Duanyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt and surprise.

"Strange, how could this be?"

The reason everyone reacted this way was that the moment the two sides made contact, Shen Wentian's power instantly dissipated, and Gu Chen blasted Shen Wentian away with absolute overwhelming force.

Although it was impossible to experience it firsthand, judging from the almost linear afterimages left by Shen Wentian as he retreated, the difference in power between the two sides in that exchange was far more than just one level.

Bang!

Almost as soon as the explosion subsided, a heavy, muffled thud followed.

Shen Wentian was forcefully pressed against the barrier formed by his power at the edge of the arena.

Perhaps due to the inertia of the impact, it didn't slip at all.

Although he didn't slide down, his condition was glaringly disheveled, even miserable.

His arms were almost completely gone; all that could be seen were two pale, blood-stained bones and large slender muscles.

The armor on his torso, which was originally strong enough to withstand Gu Chen's gunshots, was now shattered and completely destroyed. His lungs drooped over his broken ribs, gently contracting, as if making a silent declaration—he was not dead, and still had a tiny breath left!

As for the rest of his body, it was even less human-like. His two not-so-short legs were stuck to the power barrier, and their position presented a standard "eight" shape to everyone.

Looking at Shen Wentian's miserable state on the field.

Those watching from the sidelines were completely stunned, even temporarily ignoring the minor incident that had just occurred, leaving only a lingering sense of bewilderment:

"Wait, what's going on? Didn't he achieve enlightenment? Didn't he break through the crisis? What is this? Did he achieve enlightenment on the path to death? How did he get beaten up like this?!"

"Goodness, enlightenment comes with risks, and caution is needed in battle. I used to think it was a good thing, but now it seems it might not be. They've been beaten to a pulp. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Did they hold back their power at the crucial moment?"

"No, no, judging from their exchange, although Gu Chen has a certain advantage, it shouldn't be enough to make Shen Wentian so unable to cope. This isn't a situation of being on the receiving end; it's an absolute crushing victory. Such an advantage requires at least a major realm difference, or even more!"
