Chapter 252: Sword Rain
Yu Nianzhen had seen the same kind of crystal ball on Li Futian and knew it could predict the future.
Although it could only foresee a few breaths into the future, those few breaths were enough to decide a fight.
’What a pain.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and hurriedly stepped back.
Unfortunately, Lin Fu had expected this move.
When Yu Nianzhen’s feet touched the ground, a white light also arrived.
Before he could react, the white light enveloped his body and pain invaded his body.
The white light felt like fire but also like ice.
Yu Nianzhen was flung backwards and a stream of blood flew out of his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, would you like to concede?" Lin Fu asked.
His cultivation was at the fifth level of the origin tempering realm.
Although it was among the worst in the arena, his prediction ability made up for it.
Even if it was against a peak-level cultivator, Lin Fu had the confidence to win.
Against Yu Nianzhen, winning was a matter of course.
"It’s too early for me to concede." Yu Nianzhen said and hurriedly swallowed a rejuvenation pill.
In fact, he didn’t need to take the pill because the leaves of the tree of life were already healing his body.
However, Yu Nianzhen didn’t want others to know about the tree of life.
In that case, he could only take the pill to give others an explanation of why his injuries had suddenly healed.
"It seems that fellow Daoist Yu won’t give up until he sees the coffin." Lin Fu said and urged the crystal ball.
Soon after, the crystal ball released another white light and Yu Nianzhen dodged.
Unfortunately, the outcome was the same.
Just when he thought he had escaped the attack, the white light arrived where he dodged and he was flung backwards.
Seeing that his prey was about to be defeated, Qin Yuwen also rushed to attack.
A blue bow appeared in his left hand and he immediately pulled the string with his right.
Soon after, a water arrow formed on the weapon and Qin Yuwen aimed at Yu Nianzhen before releasing the arrow.
The distance between Yu Nianzhen and Qin Yuwen was less than ten metres.
As soon as Qin Yuwen released the water arrow, Yu Nianzhen saw it and hurriedly rolled away.
Unfortunately, he was injured and his speed was affected.
Before he was out of range, the arrow arrived and pierced into his right thigh.
A moment later, the arrow dissipated and a gaping hole appeared on Yu Nianzhen’s thigh.
The wound was smoking and the areas around it were being eroded rapidly.
’Not good.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and quickly swallowed a detoxification pill and a blood-replenishing pill.
In this moment of crisis, his mind became calm like a pool of water.
The world around him also echoed his mood and everything on the martial platform became clear to him.
Yu Nianzhen saw Zhu Zheng land a palm on Du Yihan.
A moment later, a white mist escaped from the palm and drilled into Du Yihan’s body.
Soon after, Du Yihan’s arm was covered by a layer of frost and his face distorted in pain.
’Cold poison.’ Yu Nianzhen concluded but there were no ripples in his heart.
At the same time, he also saw Kong Chi holding his head and screaming in pain
He looked like he had experienced something horrifying and black blood was pouring out of his seven orifices.
In front of him, Gu Meng was smirking and seemed to be enjoying Kong Chi’s suffering.
’His soul will be taken away at this rate.’ Yu Nianzhen concluded and turned to Mo Tianxing and Dan Qinghong.
Their fight was still undistinguishable and both were covered in injuries.
"Fellow Daoist Yu, are you sure you won’t concede?" Lin Fu asked.
He had a smile on his face but his eyes were full of mockery.
Lin Fu remembered how Yu Nianzhen humiliated him before.
If he had his way, he didn’t want Yu Nianzhen to concede.
In this way, he had an excuse to torture him until he was bloody and broken.
Unfortunately, Yu Nianzhen was no longer willing to play.
He understood his situation and knew that he couldn’t continue as he was.
Without saying a word, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When his breath was stable, Yu Nianzhen opened his eyes and a sharp aura emanated from his body.
The sharp aura spread around the martial platform and everyone immediately stopped fighting.
They felt like someone was pricking them with a thousand needles and the hairs at the back of their necks stood up.
"What is he doing?" Gu Meng asked and immediately tried to rush forward.
He felt that whatever Yu Nianzhen was trying to do was not a good thing.
However, he soon discovered that he could not move.
His body seemed to be trapped in a dense substance and taking a single step required a thousand times more effort.
"It’s a sword domain." Dan Qinghong said and his face went pale.
From previous fights, he knew that Yu Nianzhen had a sword domain.
However, he thought the domain was immature and he didn’t need to worry about it.
Unfortunately, the current situation proved him wrong.
Yu Nianzhen’s domain was not simple at all.
Although it was immature, it contained an inviolable sword intent that couldn’t be easily broken.
"This is not good." He muttered and desperately tried to lift his sword.
"How long can he keep it up?" Mo Tianxing asked.
"He is only at the first level of the origin tempering realm and his qi quantity is not much. However, if he attacks before his qi runs out..." Dan Qinghong didn’t need to finish because everyone understood.
At the moment, they couldn’t even lift their hands, let alone defend themselves.
When everyone thought about it, they became a little more desperate.
They urged their origins, trying to forcibly break the domain.
However, all efforts were in vain.
’I can’t hold them for much longer.’ Yu Nianzhen thought but he didn’t panic.
Since he had released the full strength of his sword domain, he naturally had a way to win.
Before the domain collapsed, he needed to deal with everyone.
If he couldn’t do it, he would most definitely be defeated.
This was because his sword domain consumed a lot of qi and sword intent.
Once it was fully released, Yu Nianzhen could only go forward and never backward.
With such thoughts in mind, Yu Nianzhen put away his usual sword and took out his natal sword.
Shanjiang was refined with the essence of iron and mother of iron.
Not only that, it was forged using the primordial yin-yang flame which was far superior to other flames.
When all these factors combined, shanjiang was a high-level spirit rank weapon at birth.
After warming it in the dantian for more than ten years, and absorbing two thunder tribulations, shanjiang had already become a peak-level spirit rank weapon.
It was only half a step away from becoming a profound rank weapon and Yu Nianzhen hoped to find an opportunity in the Nine Treasures secret realm.
With his natal sword in hand, his demeanour changed.
He felt sharper, colder, and peerless.
Everyone who saw him felt a sense of awe and unprecedented fear.
Even the nascent souls were a little affected and couldn’t help but frown.
"I will finish it with one sword." Yu Nianzhen said and a weak smile curled his lips.
A moment later, he drew a circle with his sword and a silver light flew above the martial platform.
The silver light was also a circle and it added to the gravity of the martial platform.
Previously, everyone could speak but when the circle appeared, even speaking felt like an extremely difficult task.
At this time, they could only watch helplessly as silver drops of light rained from the circle and fell on their bodies.
"Is he trying to kill everyone?" A spectator asked but still looked eagerly.
"He is from the Sea Cloud sect. What do you expect from the Death Flower Ascension Front."
"You can’t eat grapes so you say grapes are sour." Someone else sneered.
"Although he is ruthless, he is definitely not a member of the Death Flower Ascension Front." Someone agreed.
"What do you know? How is it possible for a cultivator at the first level of the origin tempering realm to overwhelm so many seniors? He is definitely cheating."
"Cheating how?"
"How do I know?"
"Don’t speak if you don’t know anything."
While they were speaking, thousands of sword lights had already rained on the platform.
Although the sword drops were small, their power was extremely fierce.
Within a few breaths, the martial platform was full of scars and was on the verge of breaking apart.
However, the platform was in better shape than the other participants.
When the sword rain finally stopped, the arena went silent.
Everyone looked at the martial platform and didn’t know how to react.
After a moment of silence, angry roars came from different sitting areas, and several figures flashed onto the platform.
