"Junior Brother Yun Xiao, it's still not too late to admit defeat. There's no one who can walk away unscathed from my hands!"
Stepping onto the main arena, the Sky Poison Institute's genius, Qiu Guang, had a trace of arrogance in his eyes. His words were lofty and carried a subtle threat.
"Oh? Are Senior Brother Ye Ku and Senior Brother Wushuang not even your match?"
Hearing Qiu Guang's arrogant words, Yun Xiao extended his hand, pointing at two figures beneath the stage. These words left everyone montarily dumbfounded.
Including the two being pointed at, no one ever thought they could be implicated while lying down. Ye Ku was indifferent, but Bai Wushuang's face turned gloomy with extre anger.
"What is that Qiu Guang worth? He's no match for , Bai Wushuang!"
Because of his hatred for Yun Xiao, Bai Wushuang, at this mont, even hated his opponent Qiu Guang. It's unclear where this change ca from, but in short, he found everything related to Yun Xiao extrely displeasing.
"You..."
Suddenly caught off guard by Yun Xiao's words, Qiu Guang couldn't react. No matter how confident he felt, he surely couldn't dare to challenge Ye Ku and Bai Wushuang. It was truly like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot.
"Enough talk, face the attack!"
With just a few words exchanged, Qiu Guang realized that if it was about verbal dueling, even two of him couldn't match this simple-dressed boy. Knowing this, he decided that if he couldn't win with words, he would show his true skills in action.
Qiu Guang was incredibly fast. As soon as he spoke, within two breaths he was within a foot of Yun Xiao, his extended right hand forming a claw, a faint green light emanating from it, clearly containing extre poison.
But now, with his advancent to the late stage of the Seeking Origin Realm, Yun Xiao faced such a genius of the sa level without hesitation. Seeing his opponent rush this close, he thought perhaps the battle would be over soon.
As Qiu Guang's claws aid for his throat, Yun Xiao, with a thought, raised his own right hand. With a motion identical to Qiu Guang's, his five claws greeted the attack head-on.
"Courting death!"
Seeing Yun Xiao's motion, not only did Qiu Guang shout in low voice, but most of the ridian Refining Masters observing also held the sa opinion.
Many knew Qiu Guang was a true Earth Rank Middle Level Poison Vein Master. With his late-stage ridian Qi Cultivation, how dared this boy nad Yun Xiao take it head-on? He might be poisoned in an instant!
Bam!
On the arena, the two's claws finally collided with a loud sound. Simultaneously, the hidden poison in Qiu Guang's nails was unleashed. He was confident this strike would render his opponent completely powerless.
"Hmm?"
However, as Qiu Guang unleashed the poison from his nails, he felt an imnse force transferring from the opponent's hand. In the mont Qiu Guang exerted his Poison ridian Skill, the force shattered his right wrist bone.
Crack!
A teeth-chattering bone-cracking sound resonated from the arena. Everyone gazed in shock at the Sky Poison Institute genius retreating with a face full of pain, and the Arena Hall fell into a brief silence.
Qiu Guang's Poison ridian Skill was too subtle, not nearly as noticeable as his retreat and fractured wrist.
From this, everyone was shocked to realize their earlier assumptions about the simple-dressed boy, or rather the powers of both sides, were completely mistaken.
At the start of this arena battle, everyone thought Qiu Guang had a better chance of winning. After all, he was the seasoned genius at the Sky Poison Institute, second only to Ye Ku and Si Mo. Even the forr second genius Liu Qingchen didn't dare underestimate him.
Yet such a genius was defeated in one strike by Yun Xiao, his wrist bone shattered, and his breath disordered, indicating so internal injuries.
"No, I haven't lost!"
Perhaps sensing the strange gazes around, Qiu Guang felt utterly ashad. However, in the next mont, he stared fiercely at the simple-dressed boy, his roar triggering a sense of reflection in many.
Qiu Guang sensed the poison he cast was slowly infiltrating Yun Xiao's palm, and he had great confidence in his Earth Rank Middle Level toxin. For a cultivator of the Seeking Origin Realm to be poisoned would an instant incapacitation.
From Qiu Guang's roar, many in the crowd understood his implication and turned their focus to Yun Xiao, curious about how the boy would react to the poison.
"Oh?"
However, after waiting for several breaths, the young man still kept a calm expression, standing tall and straight without any sign of poisoning, leaving many puzzled.
"If this re Earth Rank Middle Level poison is what you're relying on, then I must apologize!"
Ignoring the faces of those below the arena, Yun Xiao gently raised his head and looked at the staring Qiu Guang, speaking words that made everyone ponder.
"No, I don't believe it!"
Yun Xiao's calm deanor clearly fueled Qiu Guang's extre resentnt, and as he roared, he saw the rough-clothed youth raise his hand and point towards him.
"Fall!"
At the sa ti, a gentle voice echoed from Yun Xiao's mouth, and then the Sky Poison Institute's genius Qiu Guang fell to the ground as if struck heavily, his face filled with fear.
"What... what is going on?"
Watching the two on stage exchange a single move, yet unexpectedly, Yun Xiao, who was supposed to be poisoned, beca the leader of the arena, possessing the ability to strike soone down with a word—a feat even Ye Ku and Bai Wushuang couldn't accomplish!
"Seems like he's poisoned!"
However, so sharp-minded individuals finally realized, and they looked at the rough-clothed youth on stage with fear, feeling like sothing was slipping out of control.
It's known that Qiu Guang is a supre genius of the Sky Poison Institute, his Poison ridian Skill reached Earth Rank Middle Level. In everyone's mind, the poisoned one should've been the newcor Yun Xiao, yet it turned out to be Qiu Guang?
Doesn't this imply Yun Xiao's Poison ridian Skill surpasses Qiu Guang's? Not only was he not poisoned, but he rendered an Earth Rank Middle Level Poison Vein Master instantly poisoned—this was an impressive feat!
"Concede, and I'll save you!"
Yun Xiao wouldn't bother with what the crowd thought; he stepped forward a few steps, looking at the prideful Sky Poison Institute genius with no emotion in his voice; he knew the arena allowed life and death.
"I... I... I concede!"
Even though Qiu Guang was unwilling, after saying "I" three tis and feeling the rampant poison within, he finally couldn't sustain it and admitted defeat.
Hearing Qiu Guang's admission of defeat, Yun Xiao didn't press further; he gently patted Qiu Guang's back, and then the Sky Poison Institute genius gasped as he stood up.
"Thank you for your rcy!"
Yun Xiao didn't believe Qiu Guang would dare assault him under such conditions; he smiled, sparing those geniuses from Lianyun Mountain who harbored no grudge against him.
Qiu Guang's gaze beca complex; as a top genius, he intended to compete for the top three positions yet fell in the first round, losing to a newcor who joined Lianyun Mountain less than two months.
No matter what, the event let Qiu Guang accept his defeat; whether it was the opponent's Physical Strength or the elusive Poison ridian Skill, he admitted he couldn't compare.
Thus, Qiu Guang didn't speak more, turning lancholically to leave the arena, as the injured wrist amounted to re flesh wounds.
The unique battle ended then; it could even be said the shortest of ongoing battles, since both exchanged rely one move, proving more efficient than Bai Wushuang's victory in three moves.
But this outco was unexpected for anyone; even those like Liu Hanyi, confident in Yun Xiao, didn't foresee this overwhelming victory.
Ye Ku and Bai Wushuang believed even if Yun Xiao would win, it would take dozens of rounds against Qiu Guang with strategic surprises for victory.
However, the battle ended swiftly; Yun Xiao didn't use his Unrivaled Sharp Long Sword nor other formidable techniques.
This result gave Ye Ku and Bai Wushuang a new perspective on Yun Xiao; such guaranteed victory seed less certain as Yun Xiao continued battling.
Spectators were amazed by Yun Xiao's strength, but for him, defeating an Origin Seeking Realm Late Stage Sky Poison Institute genius was trivial.
In his life, he'd surpassed even higher ranks in battles too often, rarely battling sa-level cultivators. This uneven battle, if not for confronting Bai Wushuang, wouldn't interest him at all.
Regardless, Yun Xiao won the arena battle, efficiently and decisively.
At this mont, how far the young man could go left nurous Lianyun Mountain's ridian Refining Masters uncertain, a complete deviation from prior assumptions!
