CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 472, SOUL DEFENSE SECRET TREASURE

"This sword intent..."

Sitting high in the seats for the Profound List, Fang Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of light flashed from his eyes, staring at Chu Ming in mid-air, filled with endless battle intent.

When swordsmen meet, they are bound to compete; just this aura from Chu Ming was enough for him to take seriously.

His body couldn’t help but tremble, and the silver sword sheath in his hand had a feeling of wanting to burst forth. This was excitement, the excitement of meeting a swordsman of the same level.

Ever since he was defeated by the Hundred-Sword Prince Wang Xuanyi, he had not felt this excitement in a long time. Only excitement could drive him to continue advancing in the Sword Dao.

CRACK!

POOF!

A terrifying sword light burst forth from Chu Ming’s hand, directly slicing through layers of white waves. The sky withdrew, the space changed color, and the eyes of the crowd were unknowingly drawn into the sword light.

"Poof..."

The claw strength around Gui Ying was instantly destroyed, causing chaotic currents. His body couldn’t help but retreat a hundred meters, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air!

"What a powerful sword! At that moment, I felt my soul being extracted!"

"Tsk tsk, I didn’t expect that Chu Ming would be the final victor. It now seems that he is indeed a rising star not weaker than Gu Mu."

"I heard Chu Ming comes from the Celestial Realm. Who would have thought that such an outstanding talent could emerge from that remote small domain? Truly a blessing for the Celestial Realm!"

In the audience, the people marveled, watching the scene in the tea ceremony competition, talking endlessly.

The young talents on the Profound List, at this moment, looked at Chu Ming with eyes that were no longer wary but rather, amazed.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew he wasn’t simple!"

Bai Feidu shook his head with a wry smile. He was worried about Chu Ming earlier, but the fact proved that his worries were completely unnecessary.

"Damn it!"

A cold, fierce young man in black stared at Chu Ming’s back, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists until they cracked. This young man was the Murderous Hawk Jiu Xue. With his combat power now at Guiyuan Realm Seventh Layer, he originally planned to reclaim his honor at this tea ceremony by confronting Chu Ming. But it now seemed like a dream; the gap between him and Chu Ming was growing larger.

"I will remember you!"

Gui Ying climbed up from the ground, taking out a Healing Elixir from his Storage Ring and putting it in his mouth, then said coldly.

WHOOSH!

Gui Ying did not return to his seat but flew to Chu Ming’s position. Though Bai Feidu spoke eloquently to Chu Ming because Chu Ming looked approachable, he dared not utter a word to Gui Ying.

"Who else wants to spar with me?"

To everyone’s surprise, Chu Ming still showed no intention of retreating, standing at the center of the tea ceremony competition. The previous battle with Gui Ying hadn’t consumed much of his Spiritual Power.

"Arrogant!"

Instantly, a martial artist from the audience coldly scolded. Chu Ming’s behavior was undoubtedly a disregard for the young talents on the Profound List.

"This guy..."

Xu Huan’s pale face gradually recovered, shaking his head lightly. He knew Chu Ming wouldn’t be that simple.

Fang Zhou’s expression changed, about to step on stage, but a green figure beat him to it, flying to stand opposite of Chu Ming, with a chilling air swirling around.

Fang Zhou sheathed his sword, quietly observing the development from his seat.

"Canglan Domain, Duanmu Yezi, come and learn your techniques!"

In a green robe, Duanmu Yezi’s eyes blazed, her blood and qi surged like a female war god.

BOOM!

The aura from Duanmu Yezi’s entire body was several times stronger than Gui Ying. This was because she practiced a Body Refining Technique, her qi and blood were like the red sun, and with just a slight movement, the whole space instantly exploded.

"Now we have a good show to watch!"

"Duanmu Yezi’s Earth Core Red Fire Technique has been refined to an extremely high level, her defense comparable to a top-tier Earth Level Defense Armor. With Chu Ming’s Sword Dao attacks, whether he can break her defense is still an unknown!"

"If Chu Ming can defeat Duanmu Yezi, he would undoubtedly be the biggest dark horse of this tea ceremony competition."

As soon as the audience’s words fell, Duanmu Yezi’s figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, her fists tightened, sparks erupted from her fists,

PSSSSHH! PSSSSHH!

Countless sparks emerged from the ground around Chu Ming, forming a Fire Domain within ten meters around him, with Duanmu Yezi’s body continuously shooting around.

Chu Ming held the Star Trace Sword in his right hand, tilting it, waiting quietly for the opportunity!

WHOOSH!

A ball of flames rapidly expanded in Chu Ming’s eyes, rushing at him with thunderous momentum, Chu Ming’s eyes flickered!

Amidst the tumult of white waves, chaotic grey currents surged quickly, and Duanmu Yezi’s Fire Fist instantly appeared in front of him.

CLANG!

Sparks flew from where they clashed, a tremendous force traversed the Star Trace Sword, spreading to Chu Ming’s arm. Fortunately, Chu Ming’s Body Refining Power was also strong, able to easily dissolve it.

WHOOSH!

Chu Ming’s body stretched, his left fist clenched, red light like a dragon, striking directly at Duanmu Yezi’s head.

BOOM BOOM BOOM...

The two exchanged blows, fierce energy waves quickly spreading around. Gradually, Chu Ming fell into a disadvantageous position. Though his Body Refining Combat Power was not weak, compared to Duanmu Yezi, there was still a significant gap.

If not for the strange and entangling Desolate Power, he would have already been defeated.

"Red Lotus Rain!"

In the midst of his maneuver, Chu Ming leaped into the air, his right hand waving the Star Trace Sword in a circle, a wave of sword light exploded, forming a white sword-shaped curtain.

CRACK!

Duanmu Yezi’s punch struck the Sword Curtain, which trembled but did not break. Her eyes moved, punching again, even more powerfully.

CRACK!

Chu Ming extended his left hand, the space reversed, he suddenly grabbed and shattered the Sword Curtain, the sword fragments flying, all pointing towards Duanmu Yezi.

PSSSSHH! PSSSSHH! PSSSSHH...

"Earth Core Fist!"

BOOM!

Duanmu Yezi’s green robe fluttered, her right fist suddenly turning into a blazing fire, fiercely punching towards Chu Ming’s sword light fragments.

CLANG!

Chu Ming’s expression remained unchanged, the Spiritual Profound Needle in his mind was instantly activated, directly stabbing towards Duanmu Yezi. The soul fluctuation was obvious; Duanmu Yezi naturally noticed.

In terms of soul level, Duanmu Yezi’s Sea of Souls stirred. Although she was not a spirit cultivator, with the advantage of her cultivation, her Soul Power was still strong, quickly setting up numerous Soul Defense Barriers!

CRACK! CRACK!

The Spiritual Profound Needle collided with the Soul Defense Barriers, rapidly shattering them, moving towards Duanmu Yezi’s Sea of Souls without losing any speed.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

At this moment, a green wave emanated from Duanmu Yezi’s Sea of Souls, rippling boundlessly.
