The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1156 - 609: Shangguan Tianyou (Part 2)
Yan Xiaobao remained inside, completely uninjured.
If this was all there was to it, it might not be such a big deal, but what was most infuriating was that Yan Xiaobao was just standing there, arms tightly crossed behind his back, his chin thrust out, gazing up at the clouds like a hero.
"Too weak," he said, flicking his sleeve before placing his hand back behind him again. "But then again, I've never seen anyone break through all my shields."
Gongsun Wan'er's eyes seemed about to pop out of her skull. She had fought many battles, but had never encountered anyone skilled in using defense shields. Yan Xiaobao was the first.
She could see him surrounded by dozens of ordinary shields, along with the Divine Crane Shield, the black substance covering his skin, a massive iron pot on his back, and multiple leather jackets. She felt annoyed, uneasy, and even a bit amazed.
The spectators from the North Shore were also displeased.
"Utterly shameless!! I can't believe he has so many defensive talismans and magic items. Damn! This is a battle of selection, not a war of resources!"
"Sister Gongsun has to wipe him clean. I'm about to explode! Just watching him makes me want to go over and beat his trash!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
The spectators from the North Shore were infuriated, while those from the South Shore were just dumbfounded. Of course, some disciples from Xiangyun Peak sighed inwardly. This was especially true for a stout man. As he watched what was happening, tears welled up in his eyes. He knew exactly how the North Shore disciples felt. Years ago, Yan Xiaobao had tormented him in the same way during a small competition.
On the balcony, the Sect Leader and others could hardly believe their eyes and quickly began exchanging wry smiles.
Gongsun Wan'er clenched her jaw and performed a dual-hand spell. Massive ice blades appeared, transforming into a vortex shooting towards Bai Xiaochun. As the sharp blades sliced into Yan Xiaobao's shields, a roaring sound echoed repeatedly. Although many shields were destroyed, the flickering Divine Crane Shield ultimately handled the ice blades briefly.
"Still too weak," Yan Xiaobao said arrogantly. Inside, happiness bloomed in his heart like a flower as he realized what it felt like to be a powerful expert.
The North Shore disciples were in a frenzy. If it weren't for their fear of breaking sect rules, they would have certainly banded together to slaughter Yan Xiaobao.
Gongsun Wan'er's eyes were bloodshot. Clenching her teeth, she continued her attack, using even more ice blades than before. The sheer numbers involved were staggering, and even Yan Xiaobao's heart began to tremble with fear. After some time, his shields finally gave way completely, so he drew upon the full power of the Divine Crane Shield. In the blink of an eye, his defenses were reinforced, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He stuck his chin out again, just as he was about to say something, when the exhausted Gongsun Wan'er let out a piercing scream. Reverberating rumbles sounded, and blood seeped from the corners of her mouth. Astonishingly, a bloody ice flower appeared on her forehead, causing the energy of heaven and earth to flow towards her in a shocking manner.
As this happened, the North Shore disciples began cheering at the top of their lungs.
"That's Sister Gongsun's Bloody Orchid!"
"The Bloody Orchid is Sister Gongsun's trump card. Even someone at Level 9 of Qi Condensation can't stop it. Yan Xiaobao's defense is sure to be broken at this moment!"
As the frozen flower shot out, emitting a terrifying aura, it rapidly lowered the surrounding temperature. It shot towards Yan Xiaobao at lightning speed, slicing through his shields like a hot knife through butter. Just as he was about to use the holy crane shield, the Blood Frost Orchid split into two parts. One part was successfully blocked, but the other twisted past to crash violently into Yan Xiaobao's chest.
A knocking sound could be heard, and Yan Xiaobao looked down in surprise. To him, it felt like being hit by a fluffy snowball. He looked up at Gongsun Wan'er, trembling slightly, his hair now completely disheveled.
"Take it slow," he said. "I'll watch some other matches." Then, he turned towards the direction of the No2. Battle Zone, casually watching, even occasionally cheering for one side or the other. No matter your perspective, he seemed to be begging for a beating. In the No2. Battle Zone, Ghostfang had just waved his finger in the air a second time. He could defeat most people with a single finger, but not Gongsun Yun.
As for Gongsun Yun, he retreated at top speed, roaring as he conceded. He had managed to withstand one finger strike from Ghostfang, but he would suffer severe injuries. Knowing he had no chance at first place, he thought contending for second place would be the best option.
He clung tightly to Ghostfang, leaving the arena. As he did so, he glanced towards Gongsun Wan'er, frowning.
Ghostfang's expression was calm as he left the arena floor, returning to where he had been standing. When he looked at Yan Xiaobao and all his defenses, a strange light appeared in his eyes.
The spectators from the South Shore looked down, avoiding the sight of what was happening on stage... Embarrassingly, they actually felt sorry for the North Shore.
The North Shore disciples went crazy...
Gongsun Wan'er screamed frantically, attacking Yan Xiaobao again and again, using every technique she could think of. She unleashed countless holy abilities and magical techniques, but nothing could break Yan Xiaobao's defense.
After all, his final line of defense was a black bracelet, a life-saving magic that could protect him from blows by Foundation Establishment cultivators. As the incense sticks burned, Gongsun Wan'er coughed up blood and collapsed onto the ground, staring at Yan Xiaobao in utter despair.
As Yan Xiaobao watched her, she was preparing to summon her Phoenix and then suddenly produced a pill, which he began to toss up and down in his palm...
Gongsun Wan'er clenched her fists in anger.
"I concede!!" she said reluctantly, her eyes flashing with disdain.
With a smug look, he clapped his hands together and said, "You let me win. It seems you know what's best and didn't force me to attack!"
In response to his words, tears leaked from the South Shore disciple's eyes. Gongsun Wan'er was seething with anger, trembling as she clenched her teeth, and she stepped out of the arena floor.
At that moment, the battle between Shangguan Tianyou and Xu Song reached its conclusion. Shangguan Tianyou's sword descended, emitting a powerful brilliance in all directions. Xu Song's five beast forms were in bad shape, and he stepped back several paces, looking at Shangguan Tianyou with admiration.
"It turns out the Sword Spirit Body really is incredible!" he said, blood oozing from his mouth. Finally, he turned and walked off the arena floor.
Shangguan Tianyou did not respond. Instead, he looked at Ghostfang, his eyes gleaming, fully convinced who his only true rival was!
"Presumably, his feelings are the same as mine," he thought, "fighting with others is simply boring." Shangguan Tianyou picked up his Flying Sword and glared at Yan Xiaobao. When he saw all his defenses, a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes. Finally, he walked off the arena floor, accompanied by the cheers of the South Shore disciples.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaobao proudly walked back to his position.
The first set of matches in the third round concluded. The winners were Ghostfang, Shangguan Tianyou, and Bai Xiaochun, while the losers were Xu Song and the Gongsun brothers.
Of course, not many people paid attention to the victories achieved by Shangguan Tianyou and Ghostfang. Most were focused on Yan Xiaobao's repeated shamelessness.
Yan Xiaobao successfully changed the atmosphere of the matches entirely. In fact, it was difficult to say exactly how much of an impact he had on the entire sect...
The eyes of the North Shore disciples were bloodshot as they glared at Yan Xiaobao, their hands clenched into fists. As thousands of eyes focused on him, he scratched his nose, pretending not to notice.
Gongsun Wan'er was shaking with anger. Her brother Gongsun Yun whispered something to her, after which she bit her lip and sat down cross-legged to recover. Others soon followed suit.
The break lasted for as long as the burning of three incense sticks. After that, the second match of the third round officially began!
In the first battle zone, Ghostfang faced Gongsun Wan'er. As soon as she entered the battle zone and faced the expressionless Ghostfang, she conceded. She couldn't afford to be injured and compromise her later matches.
With Gongsun Wan'er conceding, Ghostfang won again.
Meanwhile, in the second battle zone, when Shangguan Tianyou battled Gongsun Yun, a roar erupted as Gongsun Yun managed to withstand a single finger strike from Ghostfang. Worms poured out from Gongsun Yun's sleeve, surging towards Shangguan Tianyou in the sky.
As he waved his right hand, Shangguan Tianyou's expression turned grim, releasing a buzzing Flying Sword filled with Sword Qi.
