CHAPTER 1077: CHAPTER 1051: TANGYU VS. YAN HUOHUO

Yan Huohuo looked at Tangyu, his gaze cold and sharp, and said disdainfully, "Tangyu, you do have some ability. I had underestimated you before. But since you’ve tangled with me today, I can’t let you leave just like that. Make your move; I’ll give you three chances. If you don’t lose in three moves, then I’ll consider myself defeated."

Yan Huohuo’s words now lacked the previous arrogance but carried a soaring bravado. What he said was filled with confidence, completely showcasing his boldness.

To defeat Tangyu in three moves requires immense confidence.

Yet, when this statement came from Yan Huohuo’s mouth, no one doubted it in the slightest.

Tangyu, having made many enemies along his journey, had faced all sorts of people. Facing the domineering Yan Huohuo now, Tangyu was unafraid, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor, and mocked lightly, "Three moves, you’re really overestimating me. What if I accept your challenge?" Tangyu’s words clearly had a tone of irony.

Yan Huohuo didn’t say more and with a move of his hand, a peculiar heavy sword appeared. This sword had four blades and didn’t resemble a sword. Each blade was of a different color. Upon closer inspection, these four colors represented "wind, rain, thunder, lightning," corresponding to the Four Calamities. The materials for forging the sword matched the attributes of these four paths. This attribute combination made the sword’s force even stronger.

Clearly, this sword was custom-made for Yan Huohuo. Fortunately, it wasn’t a Spiritual Artifact, but a top-grade Magic Artifact.

If this sword had truly reached the level of a Spiritual Artifact, Tangyu would have been forced to use some Power of Divine Demon.

Yan Huohuo moved again, swapping for a Golden Dragon Sword: "Earlier, my fifth brother was defeated by you. I’ll also use Golden Dragon Divine Power."

Ang—

Yan Huohuo moved directly, slashing the Golden Dragon Sword toward Tangyu, and a roaring golden dragon surged forth, soaring into the sky, light blazing. Within this light was the might of the Four Calamities, "wind, rain, thunder, lightning." Though both used Golden Dragon Divine Power, the cultivation level was similar. But this sword, when wielded by Yan Huohuo, was twice as powerful as Yan Yan’s.

Facing such a formidable sword, Tangyu’s brow raised slightly, revealing a serious expression. Indeed, Yan Huohuo’s strength was far greater than Yan Yan’s, and this wasn’t even his most powerful move but merely a casual strike of this level.

Tangyu shook his head, clenched his teeth, and charged forward once again with an axe. This time, Tangyu still refrained from using Power of Divine Demon, instead pushing all his other energies to the extreme. Perhaps Tangyu was bold because his body’s defense was comparable to a top-grade Magic Artifact, leaving him with few worries.

Rumble!!!

The two clashed fiercely, like planets colliding. The might of Yan Huohuo’s sword seemed capable of breaking a swath of mountains and rivers. The surging golden light was like a tidal wave, and its overwhelming power made onlookers’ hearts race in fear for Tangyu.

Holy Sun and the others were naturally not entirely unconcerned.

All eyes focused on the battle, the scene becoming unusually silent, with many holding their breath. Such a grand battle was rare to witness.

In the four boxes above, figures gazed intently, the battle rekindling their spirits.

"What a terrifying sword force, what immense power." At the clash, Tangyu felt as if struck by a massively powerful bomb, the dreadful Power of Destruction crashing against his body. An ordinary person would surely disintegrate upon contact with this force. But Tangyu had top-grade Magic Artifact armor, his body’s defensive capabilities strong, and the combination made him immune to dying with just his body against the sword; he’d merely be injured.

Tangyu staggered back repeatedly, retreating over ten yards before stabilizing.

Seeing Tangyu withstand his sword unscathed, Yan Huohuo’s brow slightly furrowed, his gaze deeply settled on Tangyu: "You can be proud to withstand one of my swords uninjured. It seems I must reevaluate your strength. But it’s useless; this is only my first move. There are still two moves to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Huohuo moved again, decisively without any hesitation.

This time, Yan Huohuo put away the Golden Dragon Sword and wielded that peculiar sword, declaring, "After refining my Four Calamities Sword, I haven’t truly sparred with anyone. Today, I’ll use you to test my sword. To fall under my Four Calamities Sword, you can indeed feel proud."

Whoosh—

Yan Huohuo’s sword moved; instantly, lightning flashed, thunder roared, fierce winds whipped, torrential rain howled, the might of the Four Calamities revealed itself. The sheer manifestation of the Four Calamities’ might could directly kill a weaker Mystic Law Realm practitioner. This revelation of the Four Calamities’ might shocked and terrified many, cries of surprise echoed.

A single sword that could invoke the Four Calamities, what a terrifying sword indeed.

The people in the four private rooms at the high place also had their eyes light up.

Tangyu frowned slightly, not daring to be at all careless. With a movement of her hand, the Yin Yang Wheel appeared in her grasp. Using the Yin Yang Wheel as a sword, she directly executed the "Bright Moon Sword Art" and Yin Yang Style to fiercely attack. Without using the Yin Yang Style, Tangyu felt she would lose miserably. So, she couldn’t care less; if her strength was exposed, so be it. She had no choice.

Yan Huohuo’s sword moved, the Four Calamities’ winds and clouds surged, carrying a terrifying Power of Destruction that swept over directly, seemingly intent on annihilating the entire hundred-foot void. The might of this sword, embodying the Four Calamities’ Might, was fused so perfectly it reached an unimaginably terrifying level.

It could truly be said, it was a sword that shocked the heavens.

People watching from afar could feel the Power of Destruction sweeping toward them, scaring many into paleness.

Holy Sun and his companions almost jumped from their chairs, understandably worried for Tangyu. Though far away, they could feel the terrifying power of Yan Huohuo’s Four Calamities Sword.

Hua Wuliang grimaced: "Damn, is this the Four Calamities Sword? It’s said to be a middle-grade Spiritual Art, yet Yan Huohuo cultivated it to such an extent? Damn it, I’m really shaken."

Yun Qi also gently shook her head: "Yan Huohuo’s strength is indeed overpowered; now I reckon my brothers will suffer a setback, unable to compete with him at all."

On the battlefield, Yan Huohuo’s Four Calamities Sword clashed directly with Tangyu’s Yin Yang Style. One embodied destruction, the other reversed the universe. The Four Calamities Sword had the force to destroy all, while the Yin Yang Style could open heaven and earth and drown the sun and moon. Both Sword Forces were unbelievably terrifying. Their collision was like sparks striking Earth, incredibly fierce, but ended in a draw.

To everyone’s shock, Tangyu actually blocked Yan Huohuo’s Four Calamities Sword completely, not even suffering the slightest disadvantage.

This scene plunged the whole audience into silence, and almost everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Blocked, truly blocked!

Wang Qiutian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, that was thrilling, truly nerve-wracking. Haha, well done, Tangyu, you’re amazing, you blocked it!"

Holy Sun nodded in admiration, though inwardly he was a bit shaken; compared to Tangyu and Yan Huohuo, he realized how weak his own strength really was. If he wanted to perform well in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect disciple selection, his current strength wasn’t enough. So Holy Sun became more determined to cultivate a Spiritual Art within the remaining month and succeed.

This bit of belief greatly encouraged Holy Sun.

"Damn, truly monstrous." Hua Wuliang smirked, severely affected.

Over on the Flame Nation’s side, three princes and a princess stood up in shock, their eyes landing on Tangyu with astonishment. They evidently hadn’t expected Tangyu to withstand their big brother’s Four Calamities Sword. This sword was almost his brother’s strongest strike. In fact, without using his trump cards, it was the strongest strike he could muster.

Even the strongest strike of their brother couldn’t subdue Tangyu. Who exactly was this monstrous character?

"The Yin Yang Path, he’s directly cultivating a Yin Yang Dao Foundation?"

"Damn, directly cultivating a Yin Yang Dao Foundation, that’s defying the heavens, it’s rare in the extreme, truly a monster. Didn’t expect such a terrifying genius to emerge."

"What’s the background of this Tangyu, to be so monstrous?"

In the four high private rooms, Wan Chengjun and Qian Yihao, who principally sought to recruit Tangyu earlier, also grimaced. Wan Chengjun shook his head, saying, "Offering him a spot as an outer member is indeed an insult. Directly cultivating a Yin Yang Dao Foundation, just for this talent alone, Jiuzhou Immortal Sect should take him seriously. It’s likely an Elder will directly take him as a disciple, and this possibility is quite high."

Qian Yihao nodded: "Exactly, it’s virtually certain. With such demonic talent, he’s sure to catch an Elder’s eye, and might even be fought over. Compared this way, even Yan Huohuo seems a bit weaker. Yet Yan Huohuo is quite a monster himself."

In the Heavenly King Faction’s private room, only a man in white sat there, somewhat detached in expression, eyes twinkling as they fell on Tangyu. The deep gaze hid his thoughts.

At this moment, the one who found this hardest to accept was Yan Huohuo. His face turned a bit gloomy as he glared at Tangyu with an expression of volcanic eruption.

Though he claimed three moves, inwardly he only counted two. By the third move, it would be a desperate battle, using trump cards. But two moves hadn’t defeated Tangyu.
