554: Waste Su Chen

The Yanyue Sect Master clapped lightly and said, "The Disciples of the Haoran Sect are truly impressive; this battle was truly spectacular."

"I agree."

The Jinyang Sect Master also spoke up, his face full of smiles.

Seeing that Su Chen was about to lose, unfortunately, he suddenly used a dirty trick, grabbing towards Zhou Xiaoqing's chest. Zhou Xiaoqing's face was full of panic, and the Immortal Qi within her body began to turn chaotic. Su Chen took this opportunity to defeat her.

Zhou Xiaoqing fell onto the arena stage, her face filled with disbelief.

"I actually... lost?"

Zhou Xiaoqing was incredibly angry. She shouted at Su Chen, who was panting heavily on the stage, "You're despicable, shameless, and vulgar! To think you would use such a Move!"

Su Chen didn't say a word; he just grinned at Zhou Xiaoqing.

Zhou Xiaoqing's chest heaved with anger, but since she had already lost, there was nothing she could do. She could only huff and turn to leave.

Everyone looked at Su Chen, speechless.

"This Haoran Sect really shames the name 'Haoran'. To think they'd use such a dirty trick?"

"Junior Brother, did you just join the Sect? Qiudao Peak of the Haoran Sect has always used these kinds of methods. If they're weaker than you, they're insidious; if they're stronger than you, they're still insidious. Don't expect to have a proper fight with them."

"Exactly. Didn't this happen before? During the finals, that person from Qiudao Peak used the Monkey Steals the Peaches..."

Everyone chimed in, and many who weren't familiar with Qiudao Peak were greatly shocked.

Yun Mo watched Su Chen's victory, but his expression didn't improve at all. Instead, it grew even gloomier. In the past, if the Haoran Sect won using similar methods, at least they won.

But winning with such methods now felt somewhat disgraceful.

He would rather Su Chen lose directly and end this Three Sects Competition quickly.

The next two matches were won by Duan Yunlin of the Jinyang Sect and another Disciple of the Jinyang Sect, Wei Wu.

Wei Wu's strength was also at the Heavenly Immortal Peak, but he didn't have a terrifying Physique like Duan Yunlin's, so his combat power was naturally much lower. After winning, he turned his gaze toward Su Chen with a cold sneer:

"You there from the Haoran Sect, you're the first one to make it into the top four by relying on luck, but your good fortune ends here."

This was the top four now, and every one of them was terrifyingly strong. Setting aside Pang He and Duan Yunlin, even he could easily defeat Su Chen.

Duan Yunlin and Pang He only gave Su Chen a casual glance, their eyes filled with disdain, having no intention of treating him as an opponent.

They drew lots again. This time, Su Chen wasn't lucky enough to draw the weakest person; instead, he drew Duan Yunlin, who had defeated Sun Shan.

"This kid is finally going to lose. To think someone from the Haoran Sect could actually make it into the top four; they should have all been eliminated in the second round."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Everyone can see that the Haoran Sect's strength is inferior to our two great Sects. Let's see if they still dare to act arrogant in the future. The era of Haoran Sect Disciples dominating the Three Sects Competition is over."

As for Su Chen, they didn't have much of a desire to mock him. He wasn't some Prodigy, just an ordinary kid. What was there to mock?

It was only natural for Su Chen to lose.

"Will the participants please take the stage."

Su Chen and Duan Yunlin both slowly walked onto the stage. Su Chen looked somewhat wary, timid, and nervous—the very image of a weakling.

Duan Yunlin also had his pride; fighting such a piece of trash really felt like it would dirty his hands.

"Jump down yourself. Once I start, you'll either end up dead or crippled."

If he had to step forward and beat up such a weakling, it would make him look unrefined. His goal was to become the future Great Senior Brother of the Jinyang Sect, so he had to be careful about his image.

Su Chen's face showed a hint of resentment. He clenched his fists, and his gaze shifted from hesitation to determination:

"I'm not convinced. I want to fight you."

"If you defeat me, then I'll admit defeat. Otherwise, I won't accept it!"

Duan Yunlin looked at Su Chen with a playful smirk and nodded. "You've got some guts. In that case, I'll grant your wish and let you witness what absolute strength looks like!"

He slowly walked forward, and Su Chen immediately looked as if he were facing a great enemy, his posture tense and ready.

Looking at Su Chen's appearance, Duan Yunlin felt it was quite comical. His eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.

In the spectator stands.

When Li Yaoguang saw Su Chen's expression, he nodded in satisfaction. To achieve realism, he had summarized his experience after observing countless scenes similar to Su Chen's battle against Duan Yunlin.

Just like now, Su Chen's expression was almost exactly the same as what he had written in his book.

Duan Yunlin casually raised his hand and struck at Su Chen. It was just an ordinary blow, but it was enough to kill anyone in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

He wasn't worried about actually killing anyone because the elders of the Haoran Sect would surely step in to save him.

The rules of the Three Sects Convention had always been like this: if an elder stepped in to save someone, it meant that side had already forfeited.

A look of terror and fear immediately appeared on Su Chen's face. When Yun Mo saw this, the hope he had been holding onto finally died. The Haoran Sect had absolutely no chance left.

He had originally hoped Su Chen might have some hidden cards, after all, he was from Qiudao Peak. But now, it seemed the probability of that was non-existent.

Many people from the Haoran Sect could no longer bear to watch. They were losing too miserably this time.

The final act was actually Su Chen, who relied on luck.

*Sigh!*

Facing that punch, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Su Chen's mouth.

It's simply full of openings!

It seemed his previous acting had clearly worked. Duan Yunlin had let down his guard and had no intention of defending at all when he attacked. He truly saw him as trash.

Su Chen had never used such a Move before, and now it felt incredibly wonderful.

Even if his strength were slightly inferior to Duan Yunlin's, in a real battle, he could still kill him directly now.

This feeling of the weak defeating the strong was an eye-opener for Su Chen. He had never experienced anything like it before.

There was still fear in Su Chen's eyes. He looked like he wanted to beg for mercy, but Duan Yunlin's punch had already reached his face.

"Bang!"

A massive explosion rang out, and energy poured forth. Cracks appeared all over the arena stage, and dust billowed up, preventing everyone from seeing the situation inside for a moment.

To ensure fairness, Formations had been placed around the stage to block Divine Sense probes, so they could only rely on their naked eyes.

Yun Mo suddenly stood up.

It's over!

Duan Yunlin's strike just now seemed ordinary, but it turned out to be so powerful that he had forgotten to save the boy in time.

This was practically the first time in recent years that a death had occurred at the Three Sects Convention.

Sect Master Shi of the Jinyang Sect also frowned slightly. Although he wanted to mock the Haoran Sect, the Haoran Sect hadn't killed any of his Jinyang Sect people in the past, so he naturally didn't want the Jinyang Sect to kill someone from the Haoran Sect either.

After all, mutual mockery was always on a mental level, but if someone was killed, the joke could turn into a grudge or even a blood feud. This was something he did not wish to see.

Yun Mo intended to go onto the stage to check the situation, but the Grand Elder's voice rang out in his mind: "Wait and see."
