Chapter 273: The Human Race's Secret Supreme Technique - 273
Ying Xiong could barely think at this point. Only the blurry silhouette and the nine colored flames seemed to exist in his vision.
Despite his ability to think essentially being gone, his instinct was not. As he saw the silhouette getting closer, he raised two fingers towards the being.
—---------------------------------------
Most of the people outside of the barrier watched in horror as Ying Xiong was being burned alive.
His mother was the worst, immediately trying to run up to her child. Zhou Fan had to knock her out to get her to stop.
Most people watched with neutral faces, but most were feeling a brief sense of horror inside. They were all extremely old and experienced. They knew the pain of being burned.
As everyone saw Bai Hun getting closer, they suddenly saw Ying Xiong raise two fingers and point towards Bai Hun.
Zhou Fan's eyes slightly widened and a smile appeared on his face.
—------------------------------------------
As Ying Xiong raised his two fingers, memories surfaced to his mind. One day, when he was a few years younger, the strongest member of the human race took him to a hidden cave deep below the ground.
There, he showed him records of times so long ago that they were nearly unknown to the galaxy.
Among them was a record of the first leader of the Huang Long academy. His name had been forgotten, along with many other things, but a single one of his ingenious techniques had lasted throughout the millions of years.
As Ying Xiong raised two fingers, a name graced his mind.
'The human race's secret supreme technique! Yellow piercing sword finger!'
From his two fingers, a small yellow light in the shape of a sword tip came out at a horrifying speed.
Before Bai Hun could even react, his brain was pierced and he appeared outside of the arena.
"Second round first battle winner! Ying Xiong!" The announcer said.
For the first time since the start of the tournament, clapping filled the arena. Even those at the lesser dao creation realm were clapping.
Bai Hun stared blankly at the stands. He didn't even know what had happened. In one second he was walking towards Ying Xiong, about to finish him off. In the next, he appeared outside of the arena and heard the announcement of Ying Xiong winning.
Meanwhile, Ying Xiong jumped up with his two hands high in the air. He turned around to hug his mom, only to see her passed out on the ground.
He confusedly looked at Zhou Fan and Zhou Fan explained what had happened. While he was explaining, Bai Hun went back to the stands and two more tokens flew up.
The number 5 token holder, Hong Yen, vs the number 7 token holder, Ao Wen.
They both hopped on the stage as the countdown began. As soon as the time ended, Ao Wen transformed into his dragon form.
He knew that the odds of him beating Hong Yen were low, so he went all out from the beginning in order to increase his chances.
He turned into a giant red dragon with two wings and scales covering his body.
He flew towards Hong Yen as fast as he could and released the dragon race's signature move. Dragon breath.
Hong Yen stood still as the dragon breath came towards her. The moment it reached within 30 feet of her, she raised her hand and a reddish translucent barrier was formed around her.
As the dragon's breath poured at the barrier, she calmly stood there. The flames from Ao Wen's dragon breath ended after 5 seconds.
Ao Wen remained flying in the air, while Hong Yen stood calmly. Despite her appearance of casualness, Ao Wen smirked.
He knew that she couldn't have blocked his attack so easily. It was simply an act.
Without hesitation, he flew straight down towards Hong Yen's barrier. It seemed he was going to drop onto the barrier with his body.
Seeing him coming down, Hong Yen finally moved. Covering her body with Fire Qi, she quickly dashed out of the barrier.
In the area she dashed away from, the barrier disappeared. The Qi from the barrier sprinkled down, and with her manipulation, formed multiple spikes.
She had changed from defense to offense while barely using any Qi.
Ao Wen clearly saw the spike, and he naturally didn't plan on falling on them. As he was about to reach the ground, he transformed back into his humanoid form and floated in the air.
While floating, he took in a deep breath. Just as he was about to release the dragon's breath, the spikes below him shot up.
Ao Wen's eyes widened as he hastily moved out of the way, barely evading the spikes. Just as he reached his destination and stopped moving, Hong Yen appeared behind him.
Ao Wen sensed her and flipped his body immediately, forming a fire sword and swung down.
Once his vision reached behind him, Hong Yen was no longer there. Unable to stop the momentum of the sword, Ao Wen hurriedly looked around as it fell.
Suddenly, he sensed an intense heat behind him. A punch from a fist covered in fire Qi directly hit his spine, sending him flying into the distance, only stopping when he hit the barrier.
He limply fell onto the ground, but the battle didn't stop.
Ao Wen's face was contorted in pain as he tried to sit up. Unfortunately, his spine was nearly destroyed. It was rapidly healing, but it would take an entire minute even if he poured all of his Qi into it and used the dragon race's secret techniques.
Like Bai Hun had in the last fight, Hong Yen slowly walked towards the paralyzed Ao Wen. Once she was ten feet away from him, she flicked her finger and a flame needle flew out, piercing Ao Wen's head and ending the battle.
They both appeared outside of the arena and the winner was announced.
"Second round, second fight winner! Hong Yen!" The voice said.
After Hong Yen shook Ao Wen's hand, he went back to the stands.
Hong Yen's first opponent sighed in relief that she had held back against him.
Chapter 274: Ying Xiong vs Hong Yen - 274
The next two battles results were not surprising. In the third battle of the 2nd round, Lernean attacked ruthlessly and harshly, defeating his opponent in just 30 seconds.
The next battle was between Yao Mun and an unnamed person. Yao Mun defeated his opponent in just a single move, similar to before.
Yao Mun's battle concluded the second round of fighting. What remained were the last four competitors.
Ying Xiong, Hong Yen, Lernean, and Yao Mun were the last contestants remaining.
After another brief break, Ying Xiong and Hong Yen walked up to the stage.
Both stood still with confidence as the numbers counted down. Ying Xiong was no longer as nervous as before, but he was wary. Hong Yen had never been nervous, but she too was wary of Ying Xiong.
The very moment that the number one turned into the word fight, Ying Xiong burst across the stage. A golden light covered his body as he moved.
Hong Yen did the same thing, a bright red flame bursting from behind and a layer of red covering her body. As they reached each other, they both punched out.
A bright flame covered Hong Yen's fist, while a golden light covered Ying Xiongs. When their punches collided, a strong wind burst out from between their fists.
In that moment, both got the first taste of each other's power. They continued to push their fists together, trying to force the other back.
After a few seconds, both repelled from the others fist. In just a moment, they came towards each other again.
This time, Ying Xiong punched at the stomach, while Hong Yen aimed at the face. Without dodging or adding extra defense, their fists hit their targets.
Ying Xiong was sent flying backwards, doing a few flips in the air, and Hong Yen was sent to the ground as she rubbed against it.
Both had been protected by their Qi's touching their bodies, but there were still slight injuries on both of them.
As soon as they regained balance, they launched at each other again. As they collided, multiple fist were thrown in an instant.
They were pushed back again, then came back again, repeating this brutal scene of brute strength for an entire minute.
Eventually, they stood across from each other, injured to different degrees in different areas.
Ying Xiong had a bloody and broken nose, while Hong Yen was clutching her stomach. After a moment, they began to fight again, but this time with intelligence.
Ying Xiong activated the buddha phantom. He stood where its legs crossed, still on the ground.
The flames covering Hong Yen's body suddenly expanded with an explosion. In an instant, she seemed to be set on fire as an immense heat covered the arena.
Ying Xiong charged forwards at her, but Hong Yen moved backwards and kept her distance.
As Ying Xiong tried to charge towards her, she used multiple techniques, sending out things such as fireballs and flame waves.
Ying Xiong struggled to advance the entire time. He was constantly dodging and defending.
As he slowly got closer, Hong Yen used different and stronger techniques. One of them sent a flame phoenix soaring towards Ying Xiong. Another created a flame giant that contended against his buddha phantom for a few moves.
As time passed, Ying Xiong slowly got more and more frustrated and annoyed. Hong Yen's fighting style had done a complete 360.
She went from crudely contending against him, to evading him and attacking from a distance.
The Qi usage of the buddha phantom was no joke. There had been multiple times where Ying Xiong had to deactivate it in order to regenerate some Qi.
Unfortunately, he could barely even defend himself against Hong Yen without the buddha phantom. Her casual attacks were nearly enough to overwhelm him.
Just as Ying Xiong was thinking of giving up, he saw her breath falter for just a moment.
'She is getting exhausted as well!' He thought to himself.
All he could do was hope that he was right. He started to push Hong Yen harder in an attempt to make her more exhausted faster, but it was also taking a burden on him.
By the time he was nearly on the ground from stamina loss, Hong Yen was starting to heavily pant. Her long range attacks took a lot more Qi than close range attacks.
The only reason she was outlasting Ying Xiong was because the buddha phantom truly cost too much Qi.
Ying Xiong rapidly tried to think of different moves.
The yellow piercing sword finger was the entire human race's trump card, but it was truly too profound. Even Ying Xiong could barely show a thousandth of its true power.
Since Hong Yen knew about it, she had surely kept a defense in mind. Even if he used it, he may not harm her.
As for the Qi expenditure, it was more terrifying than the Buddha's phantom. A single attack would drain 25% of his Qi. He had only successfully used it before by squeezing his body dry.
While Zhou Fan had originally created it to expend a relatively small amount of Qi, he had only kept in mind his amount of Qi.
Compared to others of the same realm, Zhou Fan had much more Qi. He was the most talented for a reason.
Although Ying Xiong had more Qi than Hong Yen, he did not have as much as Zhou Fan would at his level.
Therefore, he could only try some more theoretical techniques.
Ying Xiong deactivated the Buddha phantom and used all his stamina to dodge Hong Yen's attacks. He did so in order to replenish some of his Qi before his final strike.
After 5 minutes of recovery, he could not hold on any longer and jumped in the air.
Seeing his actions, Hong Yen warily watched. Ying Xiong held out his palms and a face with a wide open mouth appeared.
It didn't quite look like the face of a buddha, but similarities could be seen. Hong Yen was confused until a roar was heard from the mouth of the head.
Then, a soundwave hit her and sent her flying. She quickly grabbed onto the ground and ran towards the head.
She knew that she could not survive under its roar for long.
'I need to destroy it now!' She yelled inside her mind.
The soundwave was rupturing her insides and causing blood to pour out of random places on her skin, as well as her mouth, eyes, and nose.
