233: Chapter 232 Shi Chu at Full Power

"Good!!"

On one side of the battle stage, Elder Wuhuan slapped his thigh fiercely. The face that had been as gloomy as water finally held a hint of a smile.

The old woman in black armor beside him also shuddered, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"The Young Lord has finally gotten serious!"

"Elder Wuhuan," the old woman glanced at the Elder beside her and asked with a smile, "Tell me... how many rounds do you think that brat of the Human Race can last under the Young Lord's blade?"

Elder Wuhuan did not answer immediately.

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze crossing the Void Realm to land on Xia Jin.

At this moment, Xia Jin was sidestepping the Saber Qi that was capable of splitting the Void Realm. His movements seemed calm, but in Elder Wuhuan's eyes, this was nothing more than the desperate struggle of a spent force.

"After the Yellow Crystal Transformation, the Young Lord's Physical Body strength, speed, and power have all surpassed the limits of the Creation Realm."

"That brat... if he can last ten rounds, he should consider himself lucky."

After he said this, the wrinkles on his old face seemed to soften slightly.

"Hehe... Hahahaha!"

As long as the Young Lord did not die, as long as the Young Lord could win... then when they returned to the clan, they would not need to endure the thunderous wrath of the Yellow Crystal Lineage.

"I share your opinion. This battle has no suspense." The old woman nodded slightly, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

"Even I wouldn't dare say I could easily take the Young Lord's full-power strike in this state, let alone a mere junior of the Human Race?"

On the other side of the battle stage.

The gaze of Second Hall Master Zhan Tiangang no longer held its previous ease.

His hands, clasped behind his back, tightened slightly and unconsciously.

"Fifth Hall Master."

Fifth Hall Master stopped stroking his beard, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

"Hmm."

He responded, his gaze also landing on the figure wrapped in yellow crystals on the battle stage, his brows knitting slightly.

"Yellow Crystal Transformation... the foundation of this branch of the Stone Clan is indeed deeper than we anticipated."

He paused, a trace of imperceptible worry flashing in his eyes.

"In this state, Young Master's strength has already surpassed the category of the Creation Realm. Speed, power, defense... he possesses all three, with almost no weaknesses."

"I don't know... if that brat Xia Jin can hold on."

However, when Fifth Hall Master Xiao Juechen heard this, he let out a "Heh" laugh.

"Can't hold on? Second Brother, you are overthinking it. Although this old man has no other skills, when it comes to judging people... I have never been wrong."

Second Hall Master couldn't help but frown. He didn't reply, just looked at Fifth Hall Master in confusion.

"This kid Xia Jin's strength... is far beyond what we have seen. Dealing with the Young Lord of this Stone Clan branch... will not be a problem."

Second Hall Master looked at him for a moment and ultimately said nothing more, just nodded slightly, his gaze turning back to the battle stage.

But his hands, clasped behind his back, had indeed relaxed slightly.

On the battle stage.

After Xia Jin sidestepped the golden Saber Qi, he looked up and down at the Young Master in front of him, his expression still devoid of any fear.

"This look... is quite intimidating."

Young Master did not answer.

The two clusters of golden flames in his sunken eye sockets were locked tightly onto Xia Jin.

Although that strike just now had not hit, it was merely a probe. The real killing move was yet to come.

Xia Jin looked at his appearance of facing a great enemy and suddenly shook his head lightly.

"Is this your so-called full power? You have disappointed this Prince too much."

"...Arrogant."

Young Master squeezed two words through his teeth, his expression flickering.

The two clusters of golden flames in his sunken eye sockets jumped violently.

The next instant, his figure vanished again.

"Die!!!"

This strike was faster, fiercer, and more absolute than the previous one.

Wherever the blade passed, the Void Realm did not just shatter; it was directly annihilated.

However, Xia Jin still did not dodge; he did not even take a step back.

Facing this strike, which was enough to easily slaughter an expert of the ninth rank of the Creation Realm, Xia Jin simply raised an arm.

His right hand, five fingers spread, met the brilliant golden blade and grabbed straight toward it. Xia Jin's palm firmly grasped the edge of the Yellow Crystal blade.

His fingers closed like iron pincers.

That strike, capable of splitting the Void Realm, was held firmly in his hand, unable to move an inch.

Between the blade and his palm, a spray of blinding sparks even erupted. But Xia Jin's palm remained completely undamaged.

Vajra Indestructible Body.

At this moment, the terrifying nature of this supreme Body Refining technique, combined with Xia Jin's current Realm, was displayed to the fullest.

The golden flames in Young Master's eye sockets shrank violently.

He felt a force that was unreasonably savage transmit from the blade, locking his attack down tight.

His blade, his full-power strike... was actually caught directly by the opponent's Physical Body.

How is this possible?!

A momentary blankness flashed through Young Master's mind, but his combat instincts drove him to react immediately.

His left hand reached toward his chest, five fingers plunging into the crystal armor on his left side, and he pulled outward fiercely.

Another crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

A second Yellow Crystal blade was pulled from his chest cavity.

Two blades attacked from the left and right.

Young Master did not hesitate at all. The blade in his left hand, carrying the momentum of piercing the air, slashed fiercely toward Xia Jin's head.

This strike was heavy and powerful, with a tricky angle.

Moreover, the distance was too close; it was almost impossible to dodge.

"Clang!!!"

Another even deeper, thunderous sound rang out.

Sparks, even more blinding than before, erupted from the top of Xia Jin's head.

The Yellow Crystal blade had landed solidly on the crown of Xia Jin's head.

But Xia Jin's head did not move a single bit.

Young Master froze completely.

The two clusters of golden flames in his sunken eye sockets jumped violently at this moment, as if even the flames themselves were trembling.

Two blades, one caught by the opponent's bare hand, one slashing onto the opponent's head... and they were... completely ineffective?

What kind of monster is this?!
