CHAPTER 1272: CHAPTER 1272: ABOUT TO CRUSH?

The first round of the Immortal Bridge Meeting’s duel was already more than halfway through. If nothing unexpected happens, it might completely end in another year.

"Su Ming, the Martial Artist from the God Ghost Sect of the Purple Wood Divine Domain, will duel against Yan Jin, the Martial Artist from the Xuanqing Sect of the Vast Smoke Divine Realm!"

The thick voice of Kuai Rong echoed inside the Great Hall.

Jing Yan’s eyebrows slightly twitched.

"Finally, it’s my turn!" Jing Yan raised his gaze, looking towards the black battle stage outside, and the figure of the Great Ability Kuai Rong in the sky.

At the same time, all eyes in the Great Hall fell on Jing Yan.

Gao Jufan’s eyes were full of worry. To be honest, he didn’t know much about Jing Yan. Since their acquaintance, Jing Yan had always given him the impression of being young but steady in character, not a rash person. However, he had a vague premonition that Jing Yan probably wouldn’t easily admit defeat in the Immortal Bridge Meeting duels.

He believed that Jing Yan’s strong desire to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting was not solely for the All Paths Fruit given as a gift before the match. Although the All Paths Fruit was incredibly precious, with Jing Yan’s alchemy abilities, he could ultimately obtain it through other means if he wanted to.

So, he was very worried inwardly.

Qi Mei, Sect Master of the Yunxia Sect, with beautiful eyes, looked at Jing Yan with a concerned expression as well. She always had a sense of guilt towards Jing Yan, leading to some estrangement between her and the Great Sect Master Xiao Wangyue. In this Great Hall, although she had almost no exchange with Jing Yan, it didn’t stop her from caring about Jing Yan’s life.

Some were worried, yet others were happy. Long Li from the Dragon Soaring Sect showed an undisguised mocking smile on his face.

In his view, if this Yan Jin Alchemist doesn’t admit defeat in time against Su Ming from the God Ghost Sect, he will most likely die at Su Ming’s hands.

A Divine Pill Master participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting? Hmph, doesn’t know life from death!

Indeed, it’s almost impossible for a Divine Pill Master, especially a High-level Divine Pill Master, to appear at the Immortal Bridge Meeting.

You’re a High-level Divine Pill Master, yet instead of going to the Alchemist Alliance, you come to this Martial Artist’s dueling stage—are you not courting death?

Under numerous gazes, Jing Yan flickered out of the Great Hall.

"Elder Yan Jin, do be careful. If the situation is not favorable, immediately admit defeat," Gao Jufan eventually couldn’t help but say these words.

Of course, to preserve Jing Yan’s dignity, he used Divine Thought to transmit the message.

Jing Yan did not respond to Gao Jufan’s words. He exited the Great Hall and, with a large stride, reached the black battle stage. In another direction, a black figure also landed on the black battle stage, standing opposite Jing Yan.

"Is that Yan Jin?"

"I really can’t understand what a Divine Pill Master is doing at the Immortal Bridge Meeting. Could it be that he wants to abandon alchemy and return to martial arts?"

"It’s said that this person even overshadowed Pill Master Zhenqing in alchemy. This implies that his talent in alchemy is enough to stand out proudly in the God Realm. Yet now, he insists on participating in the dangerous and brutal Immortal Bridge Meeting."

"..."

In various Great Halls around the Huge Arena, many eyes were indeed on Jing Yan on the battle stage. Many of them knew that Jing Yan had defeated Pill Master Zhenqing in alchemy. Precisely because of this, they didn’t understand why Jing Yan, having achieved such great success in alchemy, would take risks by participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting.

Purple Wood Divine Domain’s Great Hall.

"Sect Master Liao, I must congratulate you in advance. This battle doesn’t have any suspense left. The three Martial Artists recommended by your God Ghost Sect are all about to pass the first round. Once the news spreads, the reputation of the God Ghost Sect will greatly enhance," congratulated a sect master from the Purple Wood Divine Domain toward Sect Master Liao of the God Ghost Sect.

"Haha, it’s also luck. Su Ming has always been lucky. His growth step by step to the present is largely due to many encounters. Clearly, at the Immortal Bridge Meeting, his luck is also good, encountering a Divine Pill Master opponent, allowing him to easily advance to the second round." Sect Master Liao laughed heartily, also firmly believing that Su Ming could defeat Yan Jin Alchemist easily and advance to the second round.

...

The God Lord Kuai Rong’s gaze swept over Su Ming and Jing Yan.

His gaze lingered momentarily on Jing Yan.

Kuai Rong, indeed, paid slightly more attention to Jing Yan, not for any other reason but because Jing Yan was a Divine Pill Master.

In past Immortal Bridge Meetings, it’s not that no Divine Pill Masters participated at all. It’s just that their numbers were very, very few. The Immortal Bridge Meeting is held once every million years, and it’s usually difficult to see a High-level Divine Pill Master’s trace in ten events.

The status of High-level Divine Pill Masters in the God Realm is already very high. There’s no need to risk their lives participating in the Immortal Bridge Meeting. Moreover, the vast majority of Divine Pill Masters are not urgently pursuing martial arts; they prefer to delve into alchemy.

Therefore, Kuai Rong paid a bit more attention to Jing Yan. Of course, that’s all. No matter how outstanding the alchemical abilities of this Yan Jin Alchemist, since he came to participate in the Immortal Bridge Meeting, Star Moon Valley will treat him the same as other Martial Artists, without special treatment.

Expecting Kuai Rong to intervene and save Jing Yan at a critical moment is impossible. Unless Jing Yan can admit defeat in time.

"Su Ming! Yan Jin! Are you ready?" Kuai Rong asked both of them sternly.

Jing Yan and Su Ming both looked at the Great Ability Kuai Rong and nodded.

"The duel begins!" Kuai Rong, seeing both nod, focused his voice.

"Yan Jin Alchemist?" Su Ming’s lips curled with disdain as he looked at Jing Yan. "Just now, I heard of Yan Jin Alchemist’s great name, and I couldn’t help but get a little excited."

"Oh?" Jing Yan’s eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Su Ming.

"How can I not be excited! If an Alchemist whose ability surpasses Pill Master Zhenqing dies at my hands, even if I, Su Ming, don’t want to become famous, it would be impossible! Hahaha..." Su Ming’s expression was cruel and vicious; he laughed loudly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Thinking about how he would soon become famous in the God Realm, he couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

"Su Ming, if you don’t admit defeat now, you will die here," Jing Yan said in an indifferent tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "You will never rise again."

While speaking, he condensed the Colorful Cloud Sword. The light halo encircling the sword body swirled in front of Jing Yan.

"Die for me!" Hearing Jing Yan’s words, Su Ming seemed to receive an unbearable humiliation.

A surge of anger, accompanied by strong killing intent, suddenly erupted from him.

In an instant, a long blade appeared in his hand.

His divine power surged like river water. Layers upon layers of Law power gathered around the long blade.

As his words fell, the black long blade in his hand launched a devastating attack towards Jing Yan.

The blade light seemed to tear through the space!
