The onlookers were already too shocked to speak.
They had initially thought that once Sun Yaozu unleashed his ultimate move, Terra Su would surely be defeated. But to their surprise, Terra Su still had the strength to contend with Sun Yaozu. Was this really a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level martial practitioner? To be able to fight a Transforming Realm genius to this extent was simply monstrous.
Just when everyone thought the two would continue to stalemate for a while longer…
“Kid, you’ve completely angered this genius. Die!”
Sun Yaozu shouted fiercely, swinging his blade again, this time even stronger than before!
Swish!
Sun Yaozu’s blade grazed Terra Su’s shoulder, leaving a long gash.
Hiss!
Everyone held their breath in fear for Terra Su. It seemed that Sun Yaozu had truly gone berserk, fully unleashing the power of a Transforming Realm genius.
This time, Terra Su was in real danger.
The Crown Prince’s expression changed. Having his Transforming Realm genius struggle against a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level was an embarrassment for him.
As Sun Yaozu’s blade slashed out, the crowd began to sense something was off. Sun Yaozu’s hostility towards Terra Su seemed too intense. As a genius under the Crown Prince, Sun Yaozu shouldn’t be so intent on killing Terra Su just because he pointed out that the Crown Prince had bought a fake painting.
Could there be another reason?
“I remember now, the Sun Family has been hunting two people recently. One of them looks a lot like Terra Su.”
“Could Terra Su be the one the Sun Family is after?”
“So, there’s already a grudge between Terra Su and the Sun Family?”
“If that’s the case, Sun Yaozu’s sudden attack on Terra Su makes sense.”
The Mu Family members discussed among themselves, puzzled as to how a mere Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level youth could offend the powerful Sun Family.
Although the Sun Family was far inferior to the Mu Family, they were still a formidable force in Anyang City. For such a powerful family to go to great lengths to hunt down a fifteen-year-old boy, it made everyone curious about what had transpired between them.
Terra Su’s shoulder bled, but he felt no pain. Instead, his fighting spirit grew stronger.
In reality, this battle wasn’t as easy for Terra Su as it seemed. After all, Sun Yaozu was a Transforming Realm genius. Terra Su was fighting across a major realm, pushing his True Essence, physical strength, and soul power to the limit, using all his trump cards just to barely hold his own against Sun Yaozu.
It was only because Sun Yaozu had just recently broken through to the Transforming Realm and his combat power wasn’t stable that he couldn’t suppress Terra Su.
If his opponent had been a genius who had been in the Transforming Realm for several years, Terra Su’s situation would be ten times more difficult.
“I need a better sword. If I had a better weapon today, it wouldn’t be this hard.”
Terra Su thought to himself. The Cang Hai Sword was no longer sufficient for him; he needed a better weapon.
“Wolf Shadow Six Transformations!”
Terra Su executed the first level of Wolf Shadow Six Transformations, a low-tier Mystic Grade movement technique. However, any technique Terra Su chose to cultivate was far from ordinary. In terms of speed, it could rival mid-tier Mystic Grade techniques.
Sun Yaozu couldn’t catch up.
Having just broken through to the Transforming Realm, it was already impressive that Sun Yaozu had mastered a mid-tier Mystic Grade blade technique. How could he have the energy to cultivate a mid-tier Mystic Grade movement technique as well?
“Kid, how long can you keep running?” Sun Yaozu laughed angrily. By now, their battlefield had shifted from the banquet hall to outside. No matter how hard Sun Yaozu tried, he couldn’t catch Terra Su, who slipped away like a slippery eel.
But Sun Yaozu knew Terra Su couldn’t keep running forever. A martial practitioner’s Dantian had limited True Essence and couldn’t sustain unlimited consumption. Moreover, as a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level practitioner, Terra Su’s True Essence reserves were far less than his own.
Soon, Terra Su’s Dantian would be exhausted.
Terra Su was well aware of this, so he continued to use “Wolf Shadow Six Transformations” while thinking of a strategy.
In fact, Terra Su had agreed to this duel because he had already noticed a fatal flaw in Sun Yaozu: his weak soul power.
This was unusual for a Transforming Realm expert. Except for special cases like alchemists, a Transforming Realm expert’s soul power should be stronger than that of a Condensing Origin Realm practitioner. Higher-level martial practitioners always had stronger soul power than lower-level ones; it was an ironclad rule.
However, Sun Yaozu was an exception. Terra Su couldn’t detect the soul power that a Transforming Realm expert should possess in him.
Sun Yaozu’s soul power was at most equivalent to a Condensing Origin Realm seventh-level, or even lower.
This was rare and usually seen in body-refining practitioners, but Sun Yaozu wasn’t one. His low soul power must be due to some other reason, which Terra Su didn’t know.
A martial practitioner’s low soul power usually had no impact, but against an opponent like Terra Su, it could become a fatal weakness.
Because Terra Su had a soul attack technique specifically targeting the soul: Great Desolation Blood Moon!
Against a typical Transforming Realm expert, especially one who was prepared, Great Desolation Blood Moon would be less effective.
But for a Transforming Realm expert like Sun Yaozu with weak soul power, Great Desolation Blood Moon became an excellent attack method.
While using “Wolf Shadow Six Transformations,” Terra Su searched for the best moment to strike.
He could clearly feel that as time passed, Sun Yaozu’s patience was wearing thin.
When Sun Yaozu’s patience reached its limit, he would become extremely agitated, and that would be Terra Su’s best opportunity.
“Now.”
Seizing the moment, Terra Su’s eyes suddenly glowed blood-red, his pupils turning into two crimson crescent moons.
Then, Terra Su’s eyes shot out an invisible beam, piercing towards Sun Yaozu’s eyes.
“What the hell is this?”
Unexpectedly, Sun Yaozu reacted quickly, tilting his head to avoid Terra Su’s eye beams.
However, he could dodge once but not twice.
Terra Su immediately used “Great Desolation Blood Moon” again, shooting two more beams at Sun Yaozu’s eyes.
This time, Sun Yaozu was hit. He stood there, dazed, his eyes vacant, his arms hanging limply.
“Now!”
Terra Su moved like the wind, sword in hand, executing “One Sword Twelve Waves.”
This strike contained all the True Essence in Terra Su’s Dantian, forming a heaven-shaking slash. The prolonged battle with Sun Yaozu had all been for this final, fatal blow.
