Chapter 378 - The Arrival of the Finals
Chapter 378: The Arrival of the Finals
Chu Yunfan said these words confidently. From the moment he saw the other opponents in the top eight, he knew that he would definitely have to fight Bai Bingwu in the end. Although the outcome did not entirely depend on one’s cultivation level and skills, one’s skills and physical fitness were a factor in determining the outcome.
Chu Yunfan had such intuition. And in the end, the facts proved that his prediction had been right. The opponent he was faced with, in the end, was none other than Bai Bingwu.
The twin swords in Bai Bingwu’s hands danced in the air. Then she said, “Your intuition is very accurate. I’m definitely going to be the champion this time.”
Chu Yunfan smiled and said, “Unfortunately, I’m also here to be the champion. You won’t get the chance.”
Bai Bingwu smiled, looking very pretty. She said indifferently, “It hasn’t been easy for you to reach this point, but you can’t become the champion because I want to be it.”
“Then we’ll just have to wait and find out, won’t we?” Chu Yunfan said as he grinned.
Bai Bingwu slowly walked forward. Her body carried a hint of otherworldly aura, but the True Energy gradually released from her body, giving off a powerful pressure to the surrounding crowd.
Bai Bingwu was an expert who had truly stepped into the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. Her aura was mellow and she was only half a step away from stepping into the Acquired Stage.
This was the reason Chu Yunfan had been confident that Bai Bingwu would make it to the finals. Although the others were also in the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, they had yet to temper their auras to a mellow state and were not on the verge of breaking through.
Bai Bingwu smiled, and she took the initiative to attack first. She employed some stunning footwork, looking like a fairy under the moon. With moonlight enveloping her body, she arrived before Chu Yunfan.
This performance could be called dazzling, but it made a chill suddenly erupt in the hearts of the spectators.
The twin swords bore down like a net, enveloping Chu Yunfan. In her hands, the two swords were like swimming dragons, barreling straight at the weak spots on Chu Yunfan’s body. They sealed off all his means of escape.
Quick!
Quick!
Quick!
All of this happened quickly.
“Sh*t. Chu Yunfan is going to lose. Bai Bingwu was also hiding her true strength!”
“In the previous battles, she did not unleash such speed and strength!”
“In turn, does this mean that to Bai Bingwu, only Chu Yunfan is a worthy opponent?!”
Many people cried out in surprise. Bai Bingwu was about to win.
“It’s over,” Bai Bingwu said in a cold voice.
The sword net swept across Chu Yunfan’s body and instantly annihilated him.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not be able to dodge this sword net. But at this moment, everyone discovered that Chu Yunfan had moved along with the sword net. No matter how tight the sword net was, Chu Yunfan was able to easily dodge it. It was as if he could predict where Bai Bingwu’s swords would sweep toward and was able to easily dodge them.
This was the peak Earth-grade movement technique, the Wind-haze Form!
This movement technique exploded with astonishing power in Chu Yunfan’s hands. No matter how terrifying Bai Bingwu’s attacks were, they could not hurt him.
Bai Bingwu was momentarily stunned. She had never seen Chu Yunfan use the Wind-haze Form before. He had often used the Nine Cyclone Phantoms, so she was not prepared.
However, Bai Bingwu was very experienced in battle. Although her attack missed, she wasn’t perturbed. The swords in her hand swept out even faster. In an instant, the sword net formed once again, enveloping the entire space.
At this moment, Bai Bingwu did not care what Chu Yunfan was thinking. No matter how he dodged, she would follow her own rhythm and seal all his means of escape. No matter where Chu Yunfan hid, he would be stabbed.
Chu Yunfan had also realized this, but he did not panic. In this short exchange, he had already seen that Bai Bingwu was following the path of speed and technique. She was as fast as lightning and her technique was flawless. This was the most terrifying part.
“Since I can’t dodge your attacks, I shall face them head-on.” Chu Yunfan smiled.
Clang!
The Shadowless Saber on Chu Yunfan’s back suddenly came unsheathed. The sound of it was like a dragon’s roar. A black saber instantly swept out and ruthlessly chopped down at Bai Bingwu.
Boom!
A shocking collision occurred. The saber light cut through the sword net formed by the twin swords. The sword net instantly disappeared. No matter how gorgeous or terrifying the sword skill was, as long as it could be blocked head-on, it was completely useless.
The saber cut through the attack and all the sword shadows disappeared along with it.
Zzt!
Bai Bingwu felt that both of her arms were about to be injured from the shock. Her expression was grave after feeling Chu Yunfan’s strength. This incomprehensible fighting style was also very disadvantageous for her.
When the strength of the person reached a certain level, breaking through all sorts of coincidences with one strike was definitely no joke. Just like Bai Bingwu’s beautiful sword net earlier, Chu Yunfan had broken it in one strike.
But it was clearly not the time to think about these things. Bai Bingwu stomped on the ground and she disappeared from where she was. When she reappeared, she was already beside Chu Yunfan. Since she could not break through with a direct attack, she would attack from the side.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Bingwu was already standing beside Chu Yunfan. Ordinary people would not be able to keep up with such speed.
Regardless of whether it was speed or strength, once one reached a certain level, one would be able to crush everything. But this did not include Chu Yunfan, because he too was extremely fast.
Bai Bingwu had just adjusted herself and was about to attack when she noticed that Chu Yunfan had suddenly turned around and slashed down with the saber in his hand.
Boom!
The saber cut through the air and exploded with a thunderous sound. Then, it landed directly on her.
Slash!
The saber light hit the spot where Bai Bingwu was standing just now.
Bai Bingwu had jumped out of Chu Yunfan’s attack range. For the first time, a shocked expression appeared on her face. Her back was completely drenched in sweat. The exchange had only lasted for a split second, but the offensive and defensive positions of both sides had completely changed.
‘How is he so fast?!’ Bai Bingwu immediately turned pale with fright. Chu Yunfan’s speed was far beyond her imagination.
After Chu Yunfan missed his target, Chu Yunfan pounced on her without a second thought.
“Heaven’s Thunder!”
True Energy surged into the jet-black body of the Shadowless Saber and it headed straight for Bai Bingwu.
