Chapter 207: Chapter 173 Purification Sword Domain, Blood Light Clone Chapter 207: Chapter 173 Purification Sword Domain, Blood Light Clone “What exactly was that sword move?
It was too fast; I couldn’t see it clearly!”
“It wasn’t just fast.
ƝονǤᴑ.сᴑ
Did you see it almost broke the barrier?
Those people in front nearly jumped up in fright!”
…
“How is this Demon Capital Academy student so strong?”
“Yeah, with this, our Demon Academy has lost, sigh!”
…
As Ji Xuan conceded, the students in the audience began to discuss fervently.
They were both astonished by the power of the Anode Divine Spear and disheartened by Ji Xuan’s sudden defeat.
Meanwhile, among the Demon Capital Academy team, everyone was both surprised and delighted.
“We won!”
“Second place!”
“As expected of Su Yuan, to have such a move—too strong!”
“Liu Cunhao, you can enter the Holy Spring now.
Congratulations!”
“All thanks to Su Yuan, all thanks to Su Yuan, hahaha!”
…
Xia Yue, Xiang Dingqian, and others were elated, seemingly even more pleased than if they had won the match themselves.
Shang Baiyu looked on with emotion, “This is a true genius.
I didn’t expect Su Yuan to have such a powerful move aside from Hellfire…”
A true genius doesn’t mind others seeing through their trump cards, because when you try to counter their cards, they already have stronger new ones!
The most excited were naturally the students in the top 10 of the reserve list.
They had now secured a spot to enter the Holy Spring!
As for the students ranked 10 to 19, though anxious, they also became more expectant.
After all, at this moment, the only obstacle left was Capitol City College!
On the stage, Ke Zhen Nan looked at Su Yuan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Demon Capital Academy had truly produced an extraordinary talent this time.
That strike almost shook the battlefield barrier!
However, with this, Demon Academy was the first to be eliminated in this exchange competition.
Ke Zhen Nan sighed and regretfully announced the result.
Next up would be the final showdown between Demon Capital Academy and Capitol City College.
Although both academies had 2 players left, everyone knew that this battle would determine the winner once and for all!
Zhu Hongchi didn’t keep Su Yuan waiting long.
She stepped onto the stage with her red longsword in hand.
Zhu Hongchi’s expression was quite serious.
Clearly, Su Yuan’s earlier display put quite a bit of pressure on her.
If she got hit by such a fast and powerful strike, she feared she wouldn’t be able to block it.
However, Zhu Hongchi wasn’t overly worried.
While others were shocked by the Anode Divine Spear piercing Ji Xuan, Zhu Hongchi was closely observing Su Yuan.
At this moment, Zhu Hongchi noticed that the few bright golden patterns on the Phoenix Perch Saber, which had shone when Su Yuan used the Anode Divine Spear, were all extinguished.
They had evidently been consumed as the energy to activate the weapon skill.
It could be said that Zhu Hongchi was very meticulous and perceptive in observing and collecting battle information!
“Capitol City College, Zhu Hongchi!”
Zhu Hongchi reported her name, exchanged a glance with Su Yuan, and the battle began without further words!
Positioned several hundred meters apart, Zhu Hongchi’s eyes narrowed as she drew her sword and slashed out directly!
“Chirp!”
Accompanied by a crisp bird cry, a red flying swallow as red as blood flashed out at lightning speed!
“So fast!”
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed as the flying swallow approached like a flash, almost too quick for him to dodge!
This sword skill was the “fast” strike among Zhu Hongchi’s mastered Flying Bird Three Styles—Flying Swallow!
Su Yuan’s body shimmered with silver light as he instantly teleported to Zhu Hongchi’s left rear and slashed down.
However, Zhu Hongchi’s reaction was swift.
Almost as soon as Su Yuan appeared, she turned and slashed back!
“Clang!”
Sword met saber, and a blast of energy erupted.
“Such quick reflexes…”
Su Yuan’s heart stirred.
Zhu Hongchi’s perception was sharp, her reactions swift, and her Breathing Method likely practiced to the sixth Star Nest.
Although Zhu Hongchi’s Star Power was strong, in terms of pure strength, Su Yuan had the edge.
As Su Yuan tried to press his advantage, he suddenly noticed something.
Glancing to the side, he saw the red flying swallow he had evaded earlier speeding back towards him!
Flying Swallow·Swallow Return!
Seeing the flying swallow about to hit him, Su Yuan’s body flashed silver again as he teleported back to a distant spot.
This time, the red flying swallow couldn’t change its direction and ultimately crashed into the barrier, causing ripples to spread across the surface…
At this moment, Su Yuan and Zhu Hongchi stood in their initial positions, as if neither had moved.
Yet, in reality, the two had just exchanged a round of probing attacks in those brief two to three seconds!
“A worthy opponent…”
Su Yuan chuckled lightly.
His thoughts shifted, and bright yellow flames surged over his body as he deployed the Great Sun Burning Body·Yellow Flame once more.
Simultaneously, Zhu Hongchi also made her move.
Sealing with her left hand, she pointed her red longsword.
Blood-red runes gushed from the sword, spreading from her right arm to her entire body.
Brilliant red light flowed around her, and the once spirited and formidable female swordsman now had an almost eerie aura.
Zhu Hongchi sealed with one hand and stroked her red longsword with two fingers.
Four rays of sword light shot out, forming a light red hemispherical domain at the four corners of the stage.
As soon as this domain took shape, Su Yuan immediately sensed an anomaly in the air.
Spreading his fingers, blue-gray flames began to condense in his hand.
But not only did these flames condense slowly, they were barely half-formed after two to three seconds before reaching their limit.
“Elemental separation, huh?”
Su Yuan squinted slightly and dissipated the Gray Flame Strike in his hand.
His body’s Star Power had just converted to the Fire Element through the [Gray Flame Strike] Star Card but was being strongly repelled by the space.
This led to the Gray Flame Strike being difficult to maintain.
Not just the Gray Flame Strike—skills like Wind Walking and Elemental Magnetism Pressure were also heavily suppressed.
Fortunately, the Great Sun Burning Body Technique seemed unaffected.
In reality, this ability was called the “Purification Sword Domain,” a field-type Blue Skill awakened from Zhu Hongchi’s Soul Card.
Within the Purification Sword Domain, all detached elemental forces were purified and repelled.
As long as one was inside, any skill with elemental properties would be harder to gather and also weakened.
This skill could be dubbed the “Magician’s Nemesis.”
If it were someone like Xia Yue or Yan Ziyu on the stage instead of Su Yuan, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
In the wilderness, one could try to escape the Purification Sword Domain’s range.
But on this stage, the Sword Domain covered almost the entire platform, leaving no room to avoid it.
Such a skill was definitely a trump card, likely with considerable casting conditions similar to the Anode Divine Spear.
However, considering this was the final critical battle, Zhu Hongchi didn’t need to hold back.
On the stage, after deploying the Purification Sword Domain, Zhu Hongchi charged again!
Su Yuan slashed out, and a ten-meter-long Boundary Breaking Line appeared before Zhu Hongchi.
However, the Boundary Breaking Line immediately began to decompose and weaken visibly under the Purification Sword Domain’s effect.
Zhu Hongchi shook her longsword, activating the runes on the Red Sword, causing a blood shadow to leap from it.
In an instant, it transformed into a Blood Avatar identical to Zhu Hongchi, wielding a red sword.
“Du Juan!”
The Blood Avatar and Zhu Hongchi attacked simultaneously, their red sword lights slicing through the boundary line at the same point.
After a brief struggle, the dark line was cut in two!
Zhu Hongchi and her Blood Avatar burst through the broken line, rushing at Su Yuan.
Clearly, Zhu Hongchi’s Soul Card and Star Power carried no elemental attributes, allowing her skills to manifest fully within the Sword Domain.
The Blood Avatar was remarkable, able to use Zhu Hongchi’s skills with equal power!
In an instant, Su Yuan and Zhu Hongchi, along with her clone, closed in for close combat…
In the audience, Lan Xinlan frowned and asked He Yanan beside her, “Is it a copy of the ‘Demon Saber’?”
He Yanan pouted and snorted, “Exactly, using a copy of our Demon Capital Academy’s treasure against our own students!
Creating a replica of the Demon Saber and converting it into a sword must be the handiwork of a Refining Master from Capitol City, befitting the granddaughter of the Capitol City College dean!”
Lan Xinlan pondered, “This makes it harder for Su Yuan… If he doesn’t have other means, this could get dicey.”
He Yanan’s eyes flashed with concern.
In fact, Su Yuan defeating Ji Xuan and securing second place was already one of the best outcomes for Demon Capital Academy in the Three Cities Tournament in nearly ten years.
Before, only Qi Tian had won second place once; other times, it was always third.
But having come this far, He Yanan naturally hoped Su Yuan could win this battle and go further, achieving first place!
On stage, Su Yuan fought off two opponents.
The sounds of sword and saber clashing echoed continuously.
“Chi Yuan!”
“Ghost Slayer!”
“Flying Clouds Continuous Slash!”
…
Zhu Hongchi and her Blood Avatar unleashed powerful sword skills one after another.
In term of physical fitness and Star Power strength, Su Yuan was superior.
With the Yellow Flame Burning Body activated, he was clearly a cut above Zhu Hongchi!
But Zhu Hongchi’s skills weren’t inhibited by the Sword Domain.
Together with her Blood Avatar, their synchronized attacks achieved an effect greater than the sum of their parts!
This gap couldn’t be bridged by Su Yuan’s superior attributes alone.
If not for Instant Movement’s immunity to the Sword Domain, allowing Su Yuan to maneuver around, he would’ve been suppressed long ago.
“This Zhu Hongchi, her strength is evidently higher than that of Ji Xuan and Xiang Dingkun.
She might be the strongest among the top four talents of both academies.”
Su Yuan glanced around, surveying Zhu Hongchi and her Blood Avatar closing in on either side.
“If superior attributes don’t work, let’s elevate them further.”
Su Yuan’s expression was calm, his eyes flashed with intense silver light, and he vanished before the crossed red lights could strike.
“Instant Movement, truly a divine skill… if only I could defeat him quicker.”
Watching Su Yuan evade again using Instant Teleportation, Zhu Hongchi sighed while searching for Su Yuan.
This time, however, no matter how keenly Zhu Hongchi’s eyes scanned the stage, she couldn’t find Su Yuan.
