Chapter 12: Star Power, Three Moves to End (1/2)

The blue flying sword erupted with shockwaves and immediately chased after Ning Wuxie to stab him. However, Ning Wuxie rolled up and stood, no longer looking at the flying sword, but instead rushed straight towards Jiang Ren.

At this moment, the flying sword’s momentum became chaotic again, losing its initial force. Jiang Ren only wanted to quickly summon it back for defense.

After Ning Wuxie’s Ink Splattering Knife Technique had delivered a fierce slash, Jiang Ren believed that Ning Wuxie specialized in body cultivation. If he got close, relying solely on his physical strength might not yield an advantage.

But Jiang Ren was, after all, a Core Formation Cultivator. Besides his magical treasures, he also possessed his own supernatural powers and spiritual power foundation.

Seeing Ning Wuxie approaching, Jiang Ren’s palm surged with dark energy, and his right palm suddenly turned pitch black as he slowly pushed it towards Ning Wuxie.

“Devouring Dark Palm! This is Master Wuyuan’s ultimate skill!”

The crowd below was immediately astonished, not expecting a Core Formation Cultivator to be forced to use his sect’s ultimate skill by a Refining Qi stage cultivator.

“Although it was said to defeat him within three moves, Jiang Ren releasing his sect’s ultimate skill on the seventh move is too…”

“Indeed, there is a whole major realm difference between Refining Qi and Core Formation.”

“Jiang Ren is too anxious, just as the rumors said, he is indeed reckless.”

In the distance of the arena, Master Wuyuan, though his face was hidden, still exuded an aura of anger and resentment.

“Master, please don’t be angry. Junior brother just wants to quickly resolve the battle…”

Li Luobing appeared anxious, still trying to comfort him.

But the scene on the stage did not seem to align with her words.

As the Devouring Dark Palm was unleashed, Ning Wuxie had no way to evade and could only channel all his True Qi into his fist to take the hit head-on.

The eight True Essence threads within him slowly rotated, suddenly pulsating like a waking little snake.

Ning Wuxie felt the True Qi within him surge violently, like a volcanic eruption, flooding into his arm!

As Jiang Ren’s Devouring Dark Palm approached, Ning Wuxie tightened his grip on the right fist infused with the vast power of Star and the surging spiritual power, and fiercely struck towards Jiang Ren’s dark palm!

Bang—

Ning Wuxie was sent flying backward, rolling on the ground before standing up. His breath was somewhat disordered, but his expression remained unchanged.

On the other hand, Jiang Ren’s face turned pale, and he raised his right hand in disbelief.

His hand was dislocated! It hung limply at the end of his forearm.

The crowd erupted with intense reactions, some were surprised, some cheered, and others murmured in shock.

“What is this? What is happening? I can’t understand. How could he dislocate Jiang Ren’s arm?” A Spirit Condensing Realm cultivator looked at his own fist, feeling a bit lost in life.

“Is this really a Refining Qi cultivator? What was that punch just now?!”

“That punch definitely had the power of Core Formation! What kind of supernatural power was that?”

“I don’t know, I’ve never seen it before!”

Elder Xuanji’s eyes revealed shock as he sat up.

He had already decided that if this showdown ended with Jiang Ren still wanting to kill, he would rather offend Master Wuyuan than not intervene to save him!

“Yay! Brother is amazing!”

Xuan’er couldn’t understand the fight on stage but could roughly tell that Ning Wuxie had the upper hand, excitedly raising her small fist in cheer.

On Master Wuyuan’s side, Li Luobing finally fell silent, unable to say anything…

Jiang Ren slowly raised his head, his gaze mixed with shock, anger, and a hint of fear!

“How dare you injure me! My Master and Senior Sister will not let you leave Hermit Valley alive!”

He roared with a fierce expression, and the first flying sword finally returned to his side.

Ning Wuxie brushed off the dust from his body and sneered disdainfully, “Oh really? What does that have to do with you now?”

“I won’t even let you leave this arena alive.”

“Arrogant!”

Jiang Ren was completely enraged, letting out a furious shout. A green light surged from his mouth, and another flying sword flew out, transforming into a long sword in the wind!

He summoned his origin sword! This was the last resort of a sword cultivator!

At this moment, he was filled with shame and anger. Throughout this showdown, he had repeatedly suffered setbacks, failing to gain the upper hand in every move.

Although Ning Wuxie appeared somewhat disheveled, often dodging and even shattering his techniques, as he had said, the opponent was merely a small Refining Qi cultivator, while he was a Core Formation!

In such a comparison, not being able to defeat the opponent was simply humiliating!

Thinking of his indifferent Master and the Senior Sister who was praised as a genius, he gritted his silver teeth, wishing he could tear Ning Wuxie to pieces right now!

Only one move remained, and victory must be achieved!

“Ten Directions Killing Sword!”

Two blue flying swords shot into the sky, their tips facing each other, beginning to spin. At the same time, phantoms condensed, quickly transforming into eight flying swords, forming a sword ring with the original two.

The sword ring flew above Ning Wuxie’s head, resembling a massive angelic halo, but containing infinite killing intent.

As the eight flying swords completed their condensation, the sword ring slowly decelerated, and the sword tips descended, all pointing at Ning Wuxie!

Ning Wuxie looked up at them, not dodging, knowing it was futile.

This was a sword formation that had already locked onto him. Besides taking it head-on, the only other option was to instantly kill Jiang Ren; otherwise, there was no way to evade.

Below, Master Wuyuan sighed. Even Li Luobing, who had always defended Jiang Ren, wore a face of embarrassment.

Jiang Ren, unable to kill a Refining Qi stage cultivator, actually had to use the Ten Directions Killing Sword formation, which was truly embarrassing.

In this battle, regardless of whether Ning Wuxie lived or died, Jiang Ren had already lost.

Other cultivators also angrily scolded Jiang Ren for being shameless, using such lethal moves.

“It was said that defeating him in three moves would count as a win, but Jiang Ren is trying to kill this kid directly!”

“Exactly, a Core Formation fighting a Refining Qi, and still being embarrassed, it’s too shameful!”

“This is simply a disgrace to us Core Formation Cultivators!”

Elder Xuanji saw the Ten Directions Killing Sword ready to launch and stood up, preparing to intervene to save Ning Wuxie.

But it was not yet time; the Ten Directions Killing Sword had not yet activated, and the battle had not reached its final moment.
