Chapter 356

On the stage, in the blink of an eye, Chen Yu had blocked three of Ye Chengfeng's sword strikes.

Up until now, only Yuan Chen alone could block three of Ye Chengfeng's sword strikes.

Of course, there was one point where Yuan Chen couldn't compare to Chen Yu.

Not only did Chen Yu block three of Ye Chengfeng's sword strikes, he even injured Ye Chengfeng thrice, forcing him into such a pathetic state that he almost lost.

"This is unbelievable. Chen Yu, a cultivator below the Origin Realm, can actually block three of Ye Chengfeng's sword strikes and force him into such a pathetic state!"

"It's a pity that Ye Chengfeng's fourth sword strike is here. This battle should end soon."

"However, it is already shocking that Chen Yu can fight with Ye Chengfeng to this extent. It's a pity that he is still too young. There is still a possibility that he can surpass Ye Chengfeng in the future."

Ye Chengfeng's sword strikes, each one was stronger than the previous one.

The power of the fourth sword strike was something that even Yuan Chen, who was an Origin Realm prodigy that specialized in defense, had to defend with all his might.

And Chen Yu would definitely lose!

Not only did the spectators think so, even Ye Chengfeng had the same thought as he revealed a victorious smile.

But the next scene caused Ye Chengfeng's heart to shudder. The smile on his face disappeared.

The surrounding spectators, including the higher ups of the four schools, were all shocked.

They originally thought that against the fourth sword strike, Chen Yu would decisively admit defeat and defend with all his might to avoid heavy injuries.

But Chen Yu used his actions to refute everyone's guesses.

Only to see.

Roar!

Chen Yu, who was opposite of Ye Chengfeng, sprinted over. The demonic pattern qi on the surface of his body surged, creating a frightening black wind.

Chen Yu stared at Ye Chengfeng. His eyes emitted a terrifying demonic intent. He was like a peerless demon, rapidly approaching Ye Chengfeng.

That's right, against Ye Chengfeng's fourth sword strike, Chen Yu didn't admit defeat, neither did he defend with all his might. Instead, he attacked from the front.

"Impossible … … against my fourth sword strike, he actually … …"

Ye Chengfeng's eyes widened as he stared at the approaching Chen Yu. His mind went blank for a moment.

At that moment, Ye Chengfeng's heart wavered, and he began to panic. In fact, he even doubted whether that sword of his could defeat Chen Yu.

Otherwise, how could such a situation occur?

Xiu!

Ye Chengfeng swung his sword, and a crystalline white sword light blossomed, startling the surroundings.

At the same time, Chen Yu arrived two zhang away from Ye Chengfeng.

"Defeat!"

Chen Yu unleashed his full strength and struck out with his claw, forming a sinister and evil giant claw with demonic runes.

"He's going to risk his life to attack, to trade injury for injury …"

At this moment, Ye Chengfeng finally understood.

If he insisted on swinging his sword, he wouldn't be able to block Chen Yu's attack in time.

If he retracted his strength now and blocked Chen Yu's attack, then this sword strike wouldn't be able to defeat Chen Yu, who was proficient in defense.

In other words, if he wanted to defeat Chen Yu, he had to resolutely swing his sword. But at that time, he might also be defeated by Chen Yu, and it would be a draw.

"If I retract my strength midway and block Chen Yu's attack, then prepare for the fifth sword strike, Chen Yu will definitely die …"

At that moment, the thought of retreating appeared in Ye Chengfeng's mind.

But he came to his senses in an instant. If he retreated this time, his Sword Dao would change, and he would walk on the wrong path.

"Chen Yu, let's use this strike to determine the victor!"

Ye Chengfeng shouted, and his eyes became resolute.

Chen Yu smiled faintly. From Ye Chengfeng's face, he saw the other party retreat. If Ye Chengfeng really chose to retreat and defend, then he wouldn't be able to do anything to Chen Yu.

But in the end, Ye Chengfeng still chose to press forward and attack to the end!

Watching the two geniuses on the stage display their ultimate skills, and there was even a hint of mutual destruction.

The judges near the stage, including the upper echelons of the Sky Sword Academy and the Demon-Free Academy, also became nervous and even wanted to stop it.

But the Grand Tournament had a rule that outsiders were not allowed to interfere, or they would be severely punished.

"The two of them want to perish together!"

"Too scary, these two lunatics."

The others all exclaimed.

Boom!

After Ye Chengfeng swung his sword, he instantly used a secret technique, and the True Yuan in his body turned into many small crystal swords, forming a sword shield in front of him.

On the other side, after Chen Yu used the Demonic Destruction Claw, he also immediately used the defensive battle technique Demonic Scale Protection.

Thump thump! Thump thump thump!

With the power of his heart and the support of the Dragonscale bloodline, Chen Yu used the demonic pattern battle technique with all his strength.

In the blink of an eye, the sword light and demonic qi engulfed the two figures.

"What's the result?"

Yuan Chen, Duan Xinyue, and the other spectating geniuses all had their hearts in their throats.

Boom!

In the explosion of demonic qi, Ye Chengfeng's figure was thrown out, and the sword in his hand fell to the side.

He flew out of the stage and smashed into the ground. His chest was red, and he fainted.

On the other side, Chen Yu was also sent flying by the sword light. The protective layer of his combat skill had shattered, and a crack had appeared on the armor on his chest. The area that was not covered by the armor had a sword mark half an inch deep. Even the defense of the Dragonscale Bloodline had been broken for the first time, causing blood to flow out.

However, Chen Yu's figure stopped at the edge of the stage.

"I won."

At this moment, Chen Yu revealed a smile.

Although the last attack between him and Ye Chengfeng was dangerous, it was also within Chen Yu's expectations.

Exchanging injury for injury, Chen Yu had a strong physique and strong defense, so it was naturally more worthwhile.

"Did I see it wrong? Sky Sword Academy's no.6, sword dao prodigy Ye Chengfeng actually lost to Chen Yu."

"This is probably the biggest upset in this competition. Chen Yu defeated Ye Chengfeng, so there's a high chance he'll get second place!"

"This is already the second Origin Realm prodigy to lose to Chen Yu."

The exclamations were endless, and it was deafening.

A moment later, the cheers came.

"This kid's temperament isn't ordinary. He actually chose to exchange injury for injury with Chengfeng. With his physique and defense, he would naturally be able to take more damage, but Chengfeng is a sword cultivator ….."

The white-browed elder from Sky Sword Academy sighed.

Of course, if Chen Yu didn't have the courage to make such a decision, he would have to face Ye Chengfeng's fifth sword. By then, no matter how capable Chen Yu was, he would definitely lose.

Chen Yu saw through this point, which was why he made such a decision, not giving Ye Chengfeng the chance to execute his fifth sword.

"This kid sure knows how to make use of his advantages. If it was any other person, they would have developed a heart of fear upon seeing Ye Chengfeng's sword ….."

The man in the golden cloud robe revealed a look of praise.

"Chen Yu wins!"

The judge was stunned for a moment before he announced the result.

When Chen Yu walked off the stage, everyone looked at him as if he was a monster.

"He ….. how can he be so strong ….."

Luo Haotian's heart was filled with fear.

Unknowingly, Chen Yu had surpassed him, making Luo Haotian feel helpless.

Yuan Chen also laughed. He didn't expect his little junior brother to defeat Ye Chengfeng. As a senior brother, he was actually surpassed.

On the other side, Duan Xinyue was silent, feeling very depressed.

"This kid, actually defeated Ye Chengfeng?"

Yun Haizhen's bright eyes focused on Chen Yu.

In his eyes, in this year's competition, only Ye Chengfeng, or perhaps Yuan Chen, could pose a slight threat to him.

However, he didn't expect Ye Chengfeng to actually lose to someone else.

"Interesting!"

Yun Haizhen revealed a trace of a smile, his body emitting a formless might that spread in all directions, causing some of the people around him to jump in fright.

After the competition ended, Chen Yu left the stage and returned to his seat.

At this moment, he was slightly weaker.

During the battle with Ye Chengfeng, his heart had been accumulating energy and exploding.

"Junior Brother, injuries caused by True Essence are extremely difficult to heal. This is a Spring Transformation Pill, it can heal injuries caused by True Essence …."

Yuan Chen walked over and took out a medicinal pill.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Chen Yu took it without hesitation.

In reality, he could feel the wounds on his body healing.

In order to conceal this, Chen Yu took the medicinal pill that Yuan Chen gave him.

On the other side, Ye Chengfeng was also carried to the side by the upper echelons of the Sky Sword Academy, where he consumed a healing pill and rapidly recovered from his injuries.

If Ye Chengfeng couldn't continue fighting, his ranking in this year's competition would most likely fall behind.

However, after a while, Ye Chengfeng woke up and looked deeply at Chen Yu.

"Next time, I'll win."

Ye Chengfeng said in a low voice, then stopped worrying and focused on healing his injuries.

On the other side, Chen Yu was cultivating and didn't notice this.

In the previous battle, Chen Yu had gained a lot of insight. At the same time, he was cultivating the demonic pattern qi and circulating the secret method given by the Scarlet Flame King to condense True Essence.

The competition continued.

"The third round, Tang Mo versus Yin Chengzhuang …."

The competition continued.

Tang Mo and Yin Chengzhuang both belonged to the Yunyang Academy and were ranked second and third respectively. Their battle was also very exciting.

However, at this moment, many of the twelve places were still thinking about the previous battle.

"Damn it, how is this kid so powerful? He hid his strength so well that even Ye Chengfeng was defeated."

Duan Xinyue was in a dilemma.

If she met Chen Yu again, she really didn't have the confidence to defeat Chen Yu.

"If he can defeat Ye Chengfeng, doesn't that mean he has a chance to fight for the second place in this year's competition?"

Zhou Yuning was extremely shocked when he thought of this.

Of course, Chen Yu only had a chance to fight for the second place. The specific results were still unknown.

In his opinion, Chen Yu should have been seriously injured in the battle with Ye Chengfeng. If Chen Yu met a strong opponent in the next round, he might even be defeated.

For example, if Ye Chengfeng met Duan Xinyue in the next round, he estimated that his chances of winning were slim.

The third round ended quickly, and Tang Mo won by a small margin.

Time passed. After this round, Chen Yu had been cultivating and didn't care about external things.

Soon, the fourth round began.

"Chen Yu versus Zhou Yuning!"

Chen Yu opened his eyes slightly.

"I admit defeat."

Zhou Yuning said immediately.

In the Sky Sword Institute, he barely managed to block a single blade from Ye Chengfeng.

Even if Chen Yu was injured, he still wasn't a match for Chen Yu.

Seeing his opponent admit defeat, Chen Yu continued to cultivate.

Now, he only had two opponents left. Shixiong Yuan Chen and Yunyang Institute's no.6, Yun Haizhen.

Only by defeating these two could he fight for the first place.

But Yun Haizhen's true strength was unimaginable. He had yet to display his full strength, and Chen Yu didn't have the confidence to win.

The fourth round ended quickly.

In the fifth round, Chen Yu's opponent admitted defeat again.

Until the seventh round.

"Duan Xinyue versus Yun Haizhen … …"

The judge announced the match.

Everyone in the Flowing Cloud Mountain Range became excited.

So soon, another battle between two Origin Realm experts appeared!

Previously, it was Yuan Chen and Ye Chengfeng. This time, it was the other two, Duan Xinyue and Yun Haizhen.
