Seeing Chu Qingyun forced back, many from the Celestial Wind Army on the Observation Platform sighed helplessly, all hope lost.
The Third-Layer Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, such powerful Sword Montum and Thunder Power, and the might of a Spirit Level Treasure Sword—even that combination was no match for the Vajra Undying Secret thod!
The Jin Family had truly spared no expense. What could they possibly do?
At this rate, even if Xiao Feng and the other three hadn't left, they probably would have been no match for Jintai.
However, there was one exception: Grand Commander Chu Yu.
He had just returned to the Observation Platform, his expression perfectly calm and radiating complete confidence.
'So what if he was pushed back?'
'So what if his power isn't a match for Jintai's?'
'Chu Qingyun still has his Sword Qi in reserve!'
The Vajra Undying Secret thod Jintai was using was a power that should never appear in the Martial Master Realm.
But the Sword Qi Chu Qingyun had just finished cultivating was also a power that had no business being in the Martial Master Realm!
Moreover, one of them was relying on the power of a Secret Technique, brute-forced with massive resources.
The other, however, had achieved it through his own talent and mastery of the Sword Dao. There was simply no comparison!
Seeing the bleak despair on the faces around them, and with the Celestial Wind Army Master himself fraught with worry, Grand Commander Chu Yu hesitated for a mont before walking over to him and whispering sothing in his ear.
Then, the onlookers watched as the Celestial Wind Army Master's eyes flew wide in utter disbelief.
A mighty Military Lord of the Celestial Spirit Realm, he couldn't stop himself from crying out in shock, "Is that true!?"
Grand Commander Chu Yu smiled confidently and replied, "I saw it with my own eyes. I am certain of it!"
"Good, good! Haha, hahaha..."
The Celestial Wind Army Master felt a great weight lift from his heart and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Finally, there was a glimr of new hope. Chu Qingyun had actually cultivated Sword Qi!
The people nearby, including the other Grand Commanders and Guard Generals of the Celestial Wind Army, as well as the mbers of the Four Great Clans, all watched them in confusion. They couldn't understand what Grand Commander Chu Yu could have possibly said to make the Celestial Wind Army Master laugh at a ti like this.
However, neither of them had any interest in explaining. They simply stared intently at the arena below, awaiting the thrilling mont to co!
On the arena stage, Chu Qingyun, who had been forced to the very edge after that head-on clash, was now actually smiling.
'From that last exchange, I can see Jintai's strength is nothing special. It's a bit stronger than my Thunder Sword Montum when I use the Third-Layer Profound Celestial Divine Pattern and the Thundercloud Sword.'
'But if this is all he's got, he's not worthy of seeing my Thunder Light Sword Qi!'
'Ten-Star Vine!'
With a silent command, Chu Qingyun summoned his Ten-star Vine Martial Soul. It flashed into existence before him, ten dark-green vines rapidly sprouting and whipping through the air around him.
"Hmph, Chu Qingyun," Jintai snorted with contempt. "In a battle of this caliber, you're resorting to your Martial Soul? Is this your desperate, final struggle?"
He wasn't wrong.
The intensity of their battle had long surpassed that of an ordinary level-nine Martial Artist. In a fight this powerful, Tier Three Martial Soul Techniques were essentially useless.
Take Jintai's Golden Saber Martial Soul from earlier. It had looked magnificent, a blade dozens of ters long, yet Chu Qingyun had shattered it with a single punch. It was a complete paper tiger.
However, that logic applied to everyone *except* Chu Qingyun.
Because Chu Qingyun's Ten-star Vine Martial Soul could execute Sword Techniques!
"A final struggle? Jintai, you're far too confident..."
Chu Qingyun replied mockingly, then suddenly tossed his Thundercloud Sword high into the air. A vine shot out, deftly coiling around the hilt and catching the sword.
All ten vines, including the one wielding the Thundercloud Sword, began to crackle with blinding bolts of thunder. A wave of tyrannical power instantly surged across the entire arena.
"Wh-what is this? How can there be thunder on the vines? Is it a Mutated Martial Soul? No, that's an intense fluctuation of Primordial Power! A Sword Technique?"
"Damn it! Vajra Indestructible—Vajra Body!"
Jintai had no idea what Chu Qingyun was up to, but the imnse power radiating from the vines ant he couldn't afford to be careless. He imdiately activated his Vajra Body.
"Bring it, Jintai. Let see just how tough that Vajra Body of yours really is."
"Thunder Sword Montum!"
Chu Qingyun roared, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
All ten vines, including the one gripping the Thundercloud Sword, simultaneously unleashed Thunder Sword Montum, blasting in unison toward the golden-wreathed Jintai!
Each vine carried seventy percent of the full power of his Thunder Sword Montum.
Ten of them combined amounted to seven tis the power of a single Thunder Sword Montum!
And on top of that, there was the added might of the Thundercloud Sword!
Although this attack lacked the amplification from the Third-Layer Profound Celestial Divine Pattern, it was more than three tis as powerful as the last one!
The raging Thunder Power converged, bathing the entire arena in a light so blindingly brilliant that the spectators were forced to shut their eyes.
Facing the surging torrent of thunder, Jintai's expression grew more severe than ever.
Even with his Vajra Body active, he could feel a very real, profound threat from this attack!
'Block it... Block it... I have to block it...'
Jintai's eyes narrowed to re slits as Primordial Power surged through his body. He spared no effort, channeling every last bit of strength into his Vajra Body, desperate to withstand this attack!
Around the arena and on the Observation Platform, everyone stared intently at the stage, silently anticipating the outco of this decisive strike.
Would the dark horse, Chu Qingyun, erge victorious?
Or would Jintai's terrifying Secret Technique hold fast?
BOOM!!
In the blink of an eye, the ten vines and the Thundercloud Sword slamd into Jintai at almost the exact sa mont!
Amidst the deafening blast, the ten vines instantly disintegrated, and the Thundercloud Sword was sent spinning back toward Chu Qingyun, who caught it deftly.
The power contained within the vines and the Thundercloud Sword, however, was unleashed without reserve, exploding fully against Jintai's body!
The force of sevenfold Thunder Sword Montum erupted against Jintai, slamming his very feet deep into the solid arena floor!
A dense, web-like pattern of cracks spread out from Jintai, covering a radius of more than ten ters on the arena floor.
The terrifying collision of power left everyone speechless with awe.
However, even after the raging Thunder Power subsided, the bright golden barrier around Jintai's body was still there!
"Hahaha! Chu Qingyun, I have the Vajra Body! A little trick like yours is noth—What? Th-this is impossible!"
At first, Jintai was laughing derisively.
But before he could finish, the smile froze on his face, twisting into an expression of horror.
He watched as the golden light covering him began to splinter in several places, cracking apart bit by bit!
"Damn it... Hold together!"
Jintai cursed under his breath. Daring not to waste another mont on taunts, he frantically mobilized his Primordial Power, trying to restore his Vajra Body.
But Chu Qingyun would never give him such an opportunity!
