544: Chapter 544 Speechless!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

One after another, streaks of Spear Qi pierced through the obstruction of the black water, violently striking his body and producing crisp metallic clashing sounds!

Before long, many wounds appeared on Ao Yuan's body!

Scales shattered, and blood seeped out!

Though not fatal, it was painful!

Ao Yuan felt incredibly stifled and frustrated.

During their last encounter, although he had lost, he could at least trade blows back and forth with Qin Yan.

This time, after the other party's Breakthrough, he didn't even have the power to fight back!

Just as Ao Yuan was gritting his teeth and holding on—

The blood Qi around Qin Yan's body erupted once more!

His figure transformed into a streak of light, arriving in front of Ao Yuan in an instant!

Raising his long spear high, he thrust it violently toward Ao Yuan!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The collisions between dragon claws and the long spear rang out densely high in the sky!

With every collision, a blinding light erupted!

Although Ao Yuan's dragon claws were hard, they began to show cracks under Qin Yan's terrifying attacks!

"Black Flood Dragon River Domain!"

Ao Yuan let out a furious roar, and monstrous black water suddenly surged out from around him!

That black water, like several black rivers, circled and coiled around him, rapidly spreading!

Qin Yan also gave a low shout!

Blood-colored mist surged frantically from within his body!

Crimson as blood, it spread rapidly!

In the air, the Black Flood Dragon River and the blood mist intertwined and collided!

The black water currents and blood-colored mist were like two giant pythons, frantically biting and devouring each other in the Void Realm!

The two Domain powers canceled each other out; neither could overcome the other!

High in the air, the battle between the two grew increasingly intense!

Although Qin Yan's body was countless times smaller than his opponent's!

The power he unleashed was significantly stronger than the other's!

Qin Yan stepped lightly in the Void Realm, his body flexibly flying onto Ao Yuan's dragon body!

Atop the long spear, Gold and Wood True Qi erupted once more!

Nirvana Spear Intent covered the spear tip!

One strike!

Piercing toward Ao Yuan's back!

Two strikes!

Piercing the same spot!

Three strikes!

Still the same spot!

Every strike accurately pierced the exact same location!

Every strike carried a terrifying force of 1.72 million calories!

"Roar!!"

Sensing something was wrong, Ao Yuan thrashed frantically in mid-air, attempting to shake Qin Yan off!

At the same time, black currents surged around him, transforming into a black water defense that covered the area Qin Yan was attacking!

However—Qin Yan's blood Qi was higher than his, and the Yimu Longevity True Qi countered him!

Wood counters Water; it was the natural order!

How could the opponent possibly withstand it!

After Qin Yan thrust his spear three times in succession—

"Crack!"

The scales in that spot instantly snapped!

Qin Yan's long spear instantly pierced into Ao Yuan's body!

Blood sprayed wildly!

Then, Qin Yan violently slashed with his long spear across the wound!

"Riiiip—"

On Ao Yuan's body, a massive wound over a meter long instantly split open!

Flesh turned inside out, scales flew everywhere, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

"Roar—!!"

Ao Yuan let out a shrill scream, a heart-wrenching sound filled with pain and despair!

The entire Fighting Arena trembled from his screams, and his wails echoed throughout the square!

Seeing this, Qin Yan remained relentless.

If the opponent didn't admit defeat, he wouldn't stop!

On the Fighting Arena, the battle didn't end until someone conceded.

After a few more strikes, the long spear carved wound after wound into Ao Yuan's body.

Dragon scales flew, dragon blood flowed, and the black flood dragon's body was covered in shocking scars.

Ao Yuan's body was covered in wounds, and dragon blood stained more than half of the Fighting Arena.

His body flying in the air couldn't help but stiffen; his strength began to fade, and his movements became sluggish.

That massive dragon body swayed in the air a few times before finally losing support and falling toward the Fighting Arena below.

"Boom!"

Ao Yuan crashed to the ground with a loud bang, shaking the entire Fighting Arena!

Golden light splashed everywhere, kicking up a cloud of golden dust!

When the golden light dissipated, only two figures remained on the spot.

Qin Yan stood proudly holding his spear, with flood dragon blood still dripping from it.

His expression was calm and his breathing steady, as if the intense battle just now had only been a warm-up.

Beside him, Ao Yuan had reverted to human form, covered in blood, pale-faced, and with eyes tightly shut, having fallen unconscious.

The winner had been decided.

Qin Yan won.

Ao Yuan lost.

On the Fighting Arena, a flash of light appeared, and Qin Yan's figure appeared back on his own throne.

He put away his spirit weapon and sat down with a calm expression.

In the square, countless Prodigies fell silent as they watched this scene.

From now on, they could challenge anyone but Qin Yan.

Firstly, his strength was too great; having such combat power at the Fifth Grade Peak meant even those at the Middle Sixth-Grade might not be his match.

Secondly, his strikes were too ruthless!

The image of that long spear piercing the dragon's body over and over, the tragic state of the flowing dragon blood, and those heart-wrenching screams—they had no desire to experience the misery Ao Yuan just went through.

Nor did they want to be beaten black and blue on the Fighting Arena until they were unconscious.

Below, Huang Jiuli's gaze toward Qin Yan also carried a hint of fear.

Sitting on her throne, her Phoenix eyes were fixed on Qin Yan, and an inexplicable chill rose in her heart.

If she were to battle him one day and transform into her Phoenix form, would he also ride on her and keep stabbing her strike after strike?

And eventually leave her covered in wounds as well!

That scene was too terrifying!

Just thinking about it made her unable to suppress a shiver.

Although she was much stronger than Qin Yan, his methods were so cruel!

That way of fighting was too savage and crude, not elegant at all, and completely unfitting for her status as a direct descendant of the Phoenix Divine Mountain.

She secretly vowed that if she encountered him in the future, she would absolutely not use her Phoenix true form if she could help it!

Even if she did, she would never give him the chance to ride on her and stab wildly!

In fact, it wasn't just Huang Jiuli; many other beings around felt the same way.

Especially the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, Tiger Clan, Lion Clan—those races with true form transformations—all looked at Qin Yan with a degree of wariness.

This guy fought like his life didn't matter.

And he specifically aimed to ride on people.

Too brutal!

Can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to provoke him.

Yet Qin Yan was unaware of all this.

He didn't know that after just one fight, he had been labeled as "brutal."

He simply felt that if the opponent didn't concede, he couldn't stop.

This was the rule of the arena and also a form of respect for his opponent.

At this moment, his gaze was directed toward the golden Fighting Arenas, watching the matches between the various Disciples.

On every arena, different battles were unfolding.

Some were intense, some were stalemates, some were one-sided stomps, and some were reversals.

He wanted to see which Disciples were worth noting.

After all, these Disciples were very likely to be his future competitors.

Especially the six beside him!

Out of the seven people who passed the Heavenly Ladder, he was the only one being challenged relentlessly.

The other six had never been challenged.

This also left him quite speechless.
