Chapter 779

Broken River

Zhuowen was standing in a remote corner on the left side of the river. In this inconspicuous corner, Zhuowen immediately discovered a whirlpool that was constantly rotating.

"This is?"

Looking at this whirlpool, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed slightly as a trace of doubt appeared on his face. He faintly felt a trace of doubt in his heart.

"This is the core source of this river!

"The reason why this river is endless and can't be broken up is because of the existence of this core vortex." "That's right.

Xiao Hei stared fixedly at the whirlpool as he continued, "This whirlpool communicates with the Yuan Qi of the outside world and continuously absorbs Yuan Qi to stimulate the activity of this river, causing the river's energy to never run out."

Zhuowen nodded his head. Xiao Hei had already made it very clear that this core whirlpool was the key to this river. As long as this core whirlpool was broken, this turbulent river would collapse on its own.

"The sharp Qi is getting denser and denser. You need to break this core whirlpool as soon as possible!"

Feeling the surging sharp Qi around him, Xiao Hei's eyes became extremely solemn. The terror of these sharp Qi was beyond their expectations.

"I will break it now!"

As he spoke, Zhuowen took a step forward and his eight arms brandished eight long spears. With an indomitable and terrifying aura, he heavily slammed them into the core whirlpool.

Rumble!

An earth-shattering explosion instantly sounded. The instant Zhuowen came into contact with the core whirlpool, he felt an extremely terrifying recoil acting on his eight arms.

Deng deng deng!

His expression changed as Zhuowen involuntarily took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the core whirlpool before him.

"What a tough whirlpool!"

Rubbing his slightly numb arms, Zhuowen's eyes became extremely solemn. It seems like this so-called core whirlpool is not so easy to break.

"Kid!

Continue to smash it, smash it as hard as you can! "

Xiao Hei continued to clamor in Zhuowen's ears, causing Zhuowen to roll his eyes. This Xiao Hei really knew how to talk.

However, Zhuowen did not doubt Xiao Hei's judgment. Therefore, after rebounding a few steps, Zhuowen once again raised the eight spears and fiercely smashed them towards the core whirlpool.

Boom! Boom!

As Zhuowen continued to bombard it, he keenly discovered that the core vortex was gradually slowing down.

As the whirlpool slowed down, the amount of sharp Qi in the surroundings also gradually decreased.

"It seems that the sharp aura emanating from the river is closely related to the core whirlpool!"

Zhuowen's eyes revealed a trace of understanding. His hands continued to smash the whirlpool with even more force. Since this kind of random bombardment was effective, all the more he could not slack off.

At this moment, in the square, Huangfu Wudao was still quietly floating in mid-air as he looked down at the river below. Zhuowen's figure had long been shrouded by the river and could not be seen through.

However, Huangfu Wudao was full of confidence. The Qi Like a Floating River was a Venerable Rank armor skill, which was extremely rare even in the imperial family. One could imagine how powerful it was.

Moreover, the Qi Like a Floating River was an armor skill that countered strength with softness. Zhuowen's physical body was indeed very strong, but his strength was extremely strong. It happened to be countered by the Qi Like a Floating River, causing him to only be able to unleash about 65% of his strength.

Under such circumstances, the consumption of Zhuowen's strength would be extremely small. When the time came, he would die from exhaustion. Therefore, Huangfu Wudao was certain that Zhuowen was doomed.

Originally, when Zhuo Wen used brute force to break through the river, he was still able to create a rather intense commotion. But now, there was not the slightest bit of commotion. Everyone knew that Zhuo Wen, who was trapped in the river, was most likely doomed.

"The Qi Like a Floating River is worthy of being a Venerable Rank armor skill. It's actually so powerful. I'm afraid that Zhuowen is in danger!"

"Almost half the time for an incense stick to burn has passed, but there's still no movement from the river. Zhuowen should have died in there!"

Sounds of discussion resounded around the square. Everyone shook their heads and sighed. They felt that it was very unlikely that Zhuowen would survive in the river below.

"Your Majesty Qing Emperor, you should be able to announce the result now, right?

It's impossible for Zhuowen to break the Qi Like a Floating River. He's dead for sure now. "

Huangfu Wudao stood proudly. His gaze was focused on the Qing Emperor on the high platform. His voice was filled with confidence and pride.

The Qing Emperor nodded and casually glanced at the river in the square. The Qi Like a Floating River was taught to Huangfu Wudao by him. He was very clear about the power of this armor skill.

The strength that Zhuowen displayed when he used the Nirvana of the Great Sun with four heads and eight arms surprised the Qing Emperor. However, Zhuowen's strength was too unyielding. It happened to be restrained by the Qi Like a Floating River, so he couldn't display much of his strength at all.

Therefore, the Qing Emperor also felt that Huangfu Wudao was the winner this time.

"The result isn't out yet?

After all, we still don't know what's going on with Zhuowen in the river.

If the First Prince keeps the river and looks at the situation inside, we'll be able to confirm the result. "

Lü Hantian frowned slightly and couldn't help but speak. Although the Qi Like a Floating River was very powerful, he didn't think that Zhuowen would lose just like that.

"Lü Hantian!

Zhuowen is a genius of your Muqin County. It's normal for you to have fantasies. However, His Majesty the Qing Emperor has a revered status. How can you contradict him like this? "

Before the Qing Emperor spoke, Granhaohai spoke first and put a hat on Lü Hantian's head.

The Qing Emperor waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's fine!

Since Hantian doesn't believe this result, Wudao, you can keep the river and let him see clearly. This way, Hantian will give up. "

The Qing Emperor didn't have the slightest intention of blaming Lü Hantian for interrupting. He had great confidence in Zhuowen. Moreover, Zhuowen's talent and potential weren't bad. It would be a pity if he died like this. That was why the Qing Emperor said so.

Hearing those words, Grand Haohai frowned slightly. He was extremely displeased. However, since the Azure Emperor had spoken, he could not say anything. He could only hope that Zhuo Wen had really died in the river of Qi.

Huangfu Wudao put his hands behind his back and the arrogance in his eyes grew stronger. In his heart, Zhuowen was definitely going to die. Therefore, he didn't reject the Qing Emperor's request.

Huangfu Wudao nodded and landed in front of the river. Just as he was about to withdraw the Qi Like a Floating River with his right hand, a cracking sound suddenly resounded, causing Huangfu Wudao's pupils to shrink slightly.

Crack!

The flowing river suddenly split into pieces and turned into countless fragments under Huangfu Wudao's astonished gaze. Then, a dazzling golden figure rose up. Eight arms flickered with a blazing golden light and heavily slammed into Huangfu Wudao's chest.

Huangfu Wudao didn't expect this to happen. For a moment, he was caught unprepared. He hurriedly raised his hand to block, but Zhuowen found a flaw.

Puchi!

A streak of blood streaked across the sky. Then, everyone in the square was astonished to find that Huangfu Wudao, who was originally standing proudly, was actually sent flying like a dead dog and smashed into the ground not far away.

Rumble!

A human-shaped hole was formed and dust filled the air. Huangfu Wudao coughed a few times and climbed up with some difficulty. His gaze was filled with disbelief when he looked at Zhuowen.

His Qi Like a Floating River had actually been broken. Although Zhuowen looked to be in a rather sorry state with countless wounds crisscrossing his body, his aura hadn't weakened in the slightest.

From the moment Zhuowen broke the Qi Like a Floating River to when Huangfu Wudao was directly sent flying, only a blink of an eye had passed. Everyone saw Huangfu Wudao smashed into the ground like a dead dog and was in an exceptionally sorry state.

Creak!

Grand Haohai's pupils constricted as he stared blankly at this scene. Zhuo Wen actually didn't die, and he'd appeared before everyone full of vigor instead. Even more shocking was that Huangfu Wudao had actually been reduced to such a sorry state by him.

If one had to say who was the most shocked, it would be Grand Lily. At this moment, Grand Lily's beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Zhuowen as a wisp of a bitter smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

Now, she finally saw clearly Zhuowen's true strength. The combat strength that Zhuowen revealed now was much stronger than when he fought her. After all, even Huangfu Wudao was suppressed.

"So it turns out that Zhuo Wen had never unleashed his true strength when he was fighting me!"

When she thought up to here, the bitterness on the corners of Grand Lily's mouth grew even stronger.

In the beginning, she'd never taken Zhuowen seriously. It was even to the extent that in her heart, she felt that Zhuowen was utterly unworthy of her. This ordinary kid had exceeded her expectations time and time again.

She still remembered that in the Peach Blossom Origin Diagram, Zhuowen had been chased down by her until he was forced to jump off a cliff.

At that time, although she'd felt that Zhuowen was a bit difficult to deal with, she still hadn't taken him seriously. This was because with her strength, killing Zhuowen would have been a piece of cake.

However, in the ranking battles that followed, Zhuowen had consecutively killed Cao Yan and Feng Yong, two of the top ten geniuses of the previous Azure Emperor Rankings. He had even defeated Huangfu Wudao in the top five battles.

At that time, Zhuowen had already attracted her attention, but she hadn't cared too much about him. This was because her strength was much stronger than Zhuowen and the others. Therefore, she hadn't considered Zhuowen a formidable opponent.

It wasn't until in the throne room that Zhuowen's cultivation had soared under the Azure Dragon Qi that his cultivation had soared to almost the same level as hers. At that time, she had finally begun to realize that the gap between her and Zhuowen was constantly shrinking.

The failure of last night's assassination attempt had finally caused Grand Lily to feel fear. Unknowingly, Zhuowen had already possessed the strength to kill an early stage Xuanzun Realm cultivator.

From that time onwards, Grand Lily had begun to fear Zhuowen. Fortunately, she had broken through to the Mystic Comprehending realm, and her cultivation had also entered the half-step Xuanzun Realm.

Originally, she'd thought that with her clan's treasure, the Near Distance Mirror, she had a great chance of winning against Zhuowen. However, she had been wrong and had suffered a crushing defeat in the end.

Now, not only had Zhuowen defeated her, Grand Lily, but he had also faced off against Huangfu Wudao. Huangfu Wudao, whom she had always looked up to, had been reduced to such a sorry state.

How could Grand Lily not know how terrifying and powerful the current Zhuowen was?
