CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 135: TIANYI TOURNAMENT (PART 27)

After the appearance of the Nether Demon Six Paths Cannon, a suffocating and gloomy atmosphere spread around, making one feel oppressed and melancholic, as if all beautiful emotions were absorbed by the black sphere.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh——!"

Golden talismans surged, revealing the Sky Wind Annihilation Array. The dense Wind Blades formed a web, enveloping the black sphere. Billions of Wind Blades were cutting at an invisible frequency, and the buzzing sound from the vibrating airflow made one’s scalp tingle.

The Wind Blades that first contacted the black sphere were quickly devoured. As the front Wind Blades vanished, the ones behind immediately filled the gap and continued to be consumed, layer after layer.

With Chu Yunyi continuously increasing his Elemental Power, more and more Wind Blades appeared, and the black sphere’s size increased as it devoured the Wind Blades.

Although it seemed the black sphere had the upper hand, the initial smugness on Lin Yin’s face was gone, replaced by a grave expression.

Finally, all the Wind Blades were swallowed by the black sphere, which had grown to more than ten times its original size, but its color was much lighter.

Just when everyone thought the black sphere had suppressed the Sky Wind Annihilation Array, suddenly, tiny white cracks appeared on the sphere’s surface, and countless Wind Blades burst out from within the sphere.

It was as if light pierced through darkness, the black sphere was shattered into pieces and completely disappeared. The oppressive atmosphere in the air vanished instantly.

Lin Yin shouted angrily, clapping his palms together, and as he separated them, a black gauze as thin as a cicada’s wing, filled with a decaying aura, drifted towards Chu Yunyi.

"Eternal Nether Gauze——go!"

The black gauze floated towards Chu Yunyi, encountering the branches of the Sava Tree along the way. The gnarled, verdant leaves decayed into powder in a second.

Lin Yin’s Dark Elemental Spirit attacks carried an aura of death and darkness, which Chu Yunyi disliked.

He furrowed his sword-like brows slightly, quickly drawing talismans with his fingers, and a talisman array emitting a holy light appeared in front of him. The Eternal Nether Gauze was blocked by the array, floating like a carpet in the air, unable to advance further.

Chu Yunyi changed his hand seals and launched another attack, wind currents infused with Elemental Power swirling and condensing, as wind arrows descended vertically from the sky, turning the death-tinged Eternal Nether Gauze into a sieve.

After dispelling two attacks, Lin Yin’s fragile spirit was stimulated, his eyes reddened, and he intended to use Dark Elemental Spirit again, but unfortunately, he was too slow, and Chu Yunyi didn’t give him a chance to recover.

The speed of a Heaven Rank talisman master’s array deployment was unpredictable. While facing Lin Yin just now, Chu Yunyi had also set one beneath Lin Yin’s feet.

He merely said "Bind" softly, and a dozen Wind Ropes swiftly emerged from the array, binding Lin Yin like a dumpling.

Unable to break free, Lin Yin angrily shouted at his three teammates, "Are you dead? Come and help!"

Song Shurun, Chou Xiaoyuan, and Pei Nan would have liked to help, but from the moment Chu Yunyi appeared, they were trapped by his wind boundary. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stood idle for so long.

Lin Yin, oblivious to his teammates’ predicament, even had the nerve to blame them for not assisting. Such recklessness!

With such an arrogant teammate, they didn’t know how many times they’d potentially died in battles. The three were furious and disappointed.

Their stiff postures and expressions of embarrassment and anger finally made Lin Yin realize that their Tu Ling Team had been wiped out by Chu Yunyi alone.

With things as they were, Song Shurun had nothing more to say, only hoping Chu Yunyi could show mercy and not let Tu Ling Team end with zero points in elimination.

"Captain Chu, I have the Competition Token here, you may take it."

Throwing the space button to Chu Yunyi, Song Shurun continued:

"According to the rules, possessing fifty Competition Tokens ensures a top spot. I believe Captain Chu already has more than this number. Could you spare some extra tokens for our Tu Ling Team, even just one, so we don’t lose too disgracefully?"

Lin Yin shouted from the ground, "No way! Song Shurun, you spineless coward, don’t you dare give it to him! I’d rather be eliminated than let him take the Competition Tokens!"

As Chu Yunyi looked at the space button in his hand, contemplating whether to leave a few for Tu Ling Team, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He raised his hand and added several Wind Ropes on Lin Yin, and set a trapping array around him before pulling Song Shurun and the others away by their collars.

"Captain Chu, what is this?"

Song Shurun was puzzled as to why Chu Yunyi had bound Lin Yin like a cocoon, but the next moment he was horrified into silence.

Lin Yin’s eyes turned blood-red, his muscles swelled, veins bulged under his skin, as if he would explode in the next moment, making bestial "huh huh" sounds.

Pei Nan’s face turned pale, "Berserk, he’s berserk!"

Spectator Square.

The stands erupted into chaos. Everyone’s expressions changed as none had expected the berserk state phenomenon usually seen on battlefields to appear in an inter-academy competition!

Cold Smoke Pavilion’s principal, Lianzhou, negotiated with Yuan Kai, demanding a rescue team be sent in. Yuan Kai was initially resistant, but then recalled that Chu Yunyi was still onsite. If any accident were to occur and he was harmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Yuan Kai was about to halt the competition, Chen Luxi spoke:

"Silence——!"

A shout imbued with spiritual power made the originally rowdy Spectator Square instantly fall silent, even the host stopped their commentary.

Lianzhou was anxious, sweating profusely. If the Elemental Spirit’s berserk state wasn’t contained quickly, Lin Yin would be ruined.

"Elder Chen, please prioritize the students’ safety and send in the rescue promptly!"

Chen Luxi took a step and was on the central square’s Transmission Array from the stands, his eyes fixed on the big screen.

"Be patient, it’s too early to end the competition now. Yuan Kai, notify the Shadow Guards to assist the scene."

"Yes!"

"Ahhhh——!"

In a berserk state, Lin Yin’s strength was astonishing. He broke the Wind Ropes easily, glaring with blood-red eyes, and charged towards Chu Yunyi and the others, only to be bounced back by the trapping array.

Due to the speed at which Lin Yin lunged forward, his forehead collided with the trapping array, creating a bloody crater. Yet, having lost reason, Lin Yin couldn’t feel any physical pain, only harboring endless fury and a desire for destruction.

Lin Yin pounded his fists against the trapping array repeatedly.

Chu Yunyi’s trapping array, composed of countless tiny Wind Blades, wasn’t as lethal as the Sky Wind Annihilation Array, but its surface was as sharp as blades.

Lin Yin’s fists contacting the trapping array left fine wounds, but he remained oblivious, continuing to attack the array tirelessly.

Soon, the trapping array’s surface was soaked with blood.

Chu Yunyi frowned; Lin Yin had lost his senses. Continuing like this would inevitably cause irreversible damage to his body and meridians.

Chu Yunyi released Song Shurun and the others from their bindings, pointing to Lin Yin, who was like a trapped beast in the array, and asked:

"Song Shurun, do you know the Purification Technique?"

Song Shurun nodded, being a Level 10 Healing Master, the Purification Technique was a required skill.

"Alright, follow my instructions. Soon I’ll release the trapping array. When Lin Yin charges over, Pei Nan, Chou Xiaoyuan, and I will restrain him together, and Song Shurun, you take the opportunity to purify him."

Everyone nodded. At this moment, concerns about competitors were secondary; saving a life was the priority. Chu Yunyi’s experience and talents surpassed theirs, and following his plan was undoubtedly wise.
