“What?”

“He is actually using his own bare hands to block the Sacred Weapon?”

Numerous people who saw Su Mo’s brazen actions exclaimed in fright. The sight of someone catching the attack of a sacred weapon barehanded was unimaginable to many.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mo’s fingers curled around the holy sword that Fei Tianyu wanted to pierce Su Mo’s head with.

Psst~~

Blinding sparks emerged from above Su Mo’s head as though two swords had clashed against each other.

The holy sword was not able to break through Su Mo’s head as his body constitution was too powerful. At the same time, the holy sword was gripped by his hand and its powers had decreased by more than half.

“Shit!” Fei Tianyu’s face filled with shock. With the holy sword in Su Mo’s grasp, he could not pull away from it and it was as though it had been deeply rooted into Su Mo’s hands.

Killing intent surged from Su Mo’s eyes as the few hundred Natal Spiritual Swords around Su Mo suddenly moved and instantly began to form a death blow towards Fei Tianyu.

At the same time, Su Mo’s earlier attack struck against Xue Juntain and Ju Shen’s attacks.

As though the small world was being destroyed, deafening explosions erupted through the sky and destructive shockwaves swept out in all directions.

Su Mo’s strength was ultimately slightly higher than Xue Juntian and Ju Shen’s. A mad rush of shockwaves rolled out towards the two as though a tsunami had crashed ashore.

Without hesitation, the two godly geniuses retreated backward.

Fei Tianyu, on the other hand, was completely taken aback by Su Mo’s Spiritual Swords attack. In his panic, he abandoned the Holy Sword in his hand and flew backward.

However, the few hundred Spiritual Swords had already surrounded him and there was no way for him to escape his predicament.

Psst psst~~

The sounds of sharp swords piercing through flesh echoed through the sky as a few dozen Spiritual Swords pierced Fei Tianyu’s body and brought with them streams of blood.

Ah!

A pitiful scream escaped Fei Tianyu’s mouth. Despite his desperate attempts at dodging the swords, he was eventually pierced by one after another.

Shoosh shoosh!!

A river of blood flowed from Fei Tianyu’s body as he was thrown through the sky.

Hearts were beating out of chests as everyone stared at the scene before them. An ultimate killing strike was not even able to defeat Su Mo. His defense was really invincible.

It was truly an unimaginable thing for someone to be able to stop the attack of a holy sword that was a Sacred Weapon by just his bare hands and the defense of his head.

Shoosh!

Su Mo’s body flashed and he chased mercilessly after Fei Tianyu. His opponent had already been heavily injured and Su Mo had to eliminate him as fast as possible.

Urgh!

With his face as pale as a sheet and blood flowing out of his mouth unstoppably, Fei Tianyu’s body was attacked by the tumultuous Sword Qi that he couldn’t suppress over a short period of time.

“Damn it!”

Fei Tianyu shouted in rage as he saw Su Mo heading towards him. He had no way of stopping him.

A body with heavy injuries and a large dip in his fighting strength meant that he was no match for Su Mo.

Shoosh!

Su Mo waved the large sword in his hand for a sharp Sword Qi to shoot through the air towards Fei Tianyu.

Nonetheless, even after the heavy injuries that Fei Tianyu had sustained, his speed was still unbelievably fast. He sidestepped and easily dodged the Sword Qi attack.

Su Mo frowned as he stopped his attack. Although Fei Tianyu wasn’t incredibly strong, his speed was fast. Even if Su Mo stood on his Spiritual Sword to chase after Fei Tianyu, he might not even be able to chase Fei Tianyu.

It seemed that he had to defeat Ju Shen and Xue Juntian before he dealt with Fei Tianyu.

Staring at Fei Tianyu’s Holy Sword in his hands, Su Mo made a mental thought and put it in his storage ring.

By that point, Xue Juntian and Ju Shen had caught up to him and they stood about 10 kilometers away from Su Mo.

The two of their faces were serious and solemn. Su Mo was too strong and they did not know how to deal with him.

“Su Mo, you will not be able to win!” Fei Tianyu’s body stopped far away as he glowered while suppressing the mad rush of Sword Qi in his body.

The Sword Qi that had circulated on the Natal Spiritual Sword was assaulting his organs and also disrupting the flow of Qi in his body.

“Is that so?” Su Mo narrowed his eyes and a sudden sense of uneasiness rushed into his heart.

As he had expected, Fei Tianyu took out his jade pendant and coldly laughed, “You are strong, but against a Rank 9 Martial Honorable Xue Juntian, how will you still be able to be arrogant?”

With that, Fei Tianyu tossed his jade pendant at Xue Juntian.

The only reason why he gave it to Xue Juntain and not Ju Shen was because Xue Juntian was closer to him.

The bright eyes of Xue Juntian flashed and he stretched his hand forward to grab the jade pendant.

Although Xue Juntian had wanted to prove himself the strongest out of the 5 godly talents previously through a same rank contest, the situation had changed and he could not defeat Su Mo.

As such, he would not let go of a golden chance to recover one cultivation rank.

“Shit!” Ju Shen immediately exclaimed in shock as he saw Fei Tianyu’s actions. If Xue Juntian obtained the jade pendant, all his hopes of winning would disappear.

Although they could not defeat Su Mo now, it would also be hard for Su Mo to defeat them. They still had a chance of defeating Su Mo if they worked together.

Yet, once Xue Juntian reached the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm, he would lose all chances to win. Defeating Su Mo to raise his own cultivation rank was also not possible.

Without hesitation, Ju Shen also raised his hand to try to grab the jade pendant.

However, since Ju Shen was much further away, he could not take the jade pendant and Xue Juntian immediately grabbed ahold of Fei Tianyu’s jade pendant.

Su Mo’s eyebrows knitted together heavily. He wanted to prevent either genius from getting the jade pendant but he was too far off to do so.

With the jade pendant in Xue Juntian’s hands, his heart sunk deeply. A Rank 9 Martial Honorable Xue Juntian would be a formidable foe for him.

“Ha ha! Su Mo, you will definitely lose now!” Fei Tianyu broke out into a mad roar of laughter. He had been injured and had no way to fight anymore. As such, he could only go that way to suppress Su Mo.

Through the outrageous laughter, Fei Tianyu’s body flashed and he was teleported out of the small world.

At the same time, Xue Juntian’s cultivation rank surged exponentially and he reached the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm.

Strong auras shot to the sky and Xue Juntian grinned with confidence again.

“Damn it!” Ju Shen’s face darkened and he retreated backward to pull apart the distance between him and Xue Juntian in case Xue Juntian suddenly attacked him.

The sudden change of events caused an uproar to appear on Lake Guang.

“Fei Tianyu actually helped Xue Juntian to rise to the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm, his luck is too good!”

“It is over, Su Mo doesn’t have any chance of winning anymore!”

“The outcome has been decided, the winner of the Sky Dragon Contest is Xue Juntian!”

“What a pity! For Su Mo to have such exceptional talents and not be able to win, it truly is a pity!”

“It may not be over yet, if Su Mo allies with Ju Shen, they might be able to defeat Xue Juntian!”

The crowd buzzed among themselves. The situation had changed in the blink of an eye. Everyone had thought that the chance of Su Mo winning would be good and had not expected for things to change so suddenly.

Xu Wushen narrowed his eyes and sighed inwardly. Su Mo was in trouble again.

However, if Xue Juntian obtained the first rank position, it would also be a good thing for him. After all, Xue Juntian was a Triple Deities Sect member.

The return of the Ancient Dragon Vein to the Triple Deities Sect was much better than passing it off to the Giant Beings Clan or the Flying Spirit Clan.

Saint Elder Jia Shen and the group of Sorcerer Tribesmen patiently waited. They didn’t care about who would win the contest. They were more concerned about when Su Mo would be teleported back to the outside world.

At that point, the group who were most glum and solemn were the king and the Imperial Ancestor Court members.

They were initially highly excited, acting as though the Ancient Dragon’s vein had been won by the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction already.

However, their hearts instantly fell once they saw Xue Juntian recover to the Rank 9 Martial Honorable Realm. The burning fire of excitement in their hearts was immediately replaced by a cold breeze of wind.

“Sigh!” The king sighed deeply and shook his head. Destiny or fate, it seemed like the Imperial Ancestor Court was not destined to obtain the Ancient Dragon’s Vein!
