Chapter 748: Yu Mood's Trump Card
From the conversations below the fighting stage, Lin Yun learned that his opponent's name was Yu Mood, a member of an extremely powerful force in the universe, no weaker than the Wuo family.
"Boom——"
Soon, they engaged in combat.
"Sure enough, this man also had strength surpassing that of normal Super Warriors..."
After a moment, Lin Yun muttered to himself.
"Super Warriors' strength lies mainly in the power of rules... their personal strength and physical bodies might not necessarily be that strong. That's why these monstrous geniuses, who are just half a step into the Super Realm yet possess the strength of Super Warriors, exceed ordinary Super Warriors in terms of personal strength and physical robustness..."
"This man, focusing on cultivating his body, reached the half-step Super Realm and obtained power surpassing common Super Warriors... his physical strength is extraordinarily terrifying... compared to mine, which I strengthened using an enormous quantity of regular Golden Essence Liquid and even the superior version, Super Golden Liquid, it's like comparing a little witch to a grand wizard..."
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Lin Yun swung his long sword, executing one sophisticated sword technique after another.
It has to be said, Yu Mood had a strong body, but his other techniques were significantly weaker.
This resulted in Lin Yun effectively using strategies he hadn't dared to use on Wuo Bei.
"If he's physically strong and his techniques are also strong, then he would be invincible..."
A slight smile edged Lin Yun's mouth.
This was a perfect target; he didn't regret agreeing to the duel without using his Bloodthirsty Sword.
"Me... how could Lin Yun's body also be this strong? I originally thought his body was his weak spot, planning to strike there..." On the other side, Yu Mood was feeling more and more choked, speaking in disbelief.
"Come, come, try this move!"
"Now see this sword strike!"
...
Lin Yun chuckled lightly, launching one attack after another while speaking.
"I don't want to fight anymore, I can't beat you anyway..."
Not long after, Yu Mood exclaimed furiously.
Throughout their prolonged battle, he had been overwhelmingly at a disadvantage... this sensation was exceptionally frustrating.
Nevertheless, while he spoke, his attack and defense did not pause.
"You won't fight anymore?"
Lin Yun asked, still attacking and laughing.
The rules of the grand tournament weren't so simple as to declare a participant defeated just because he said he didn't want to fight anymore.
Only if he admitted defeat, could it end.
If one competitor were to stop fighting because their opponent claimed they would stop, then found themselves defeated by a counterattack waiting for the judgment... such occurrences were not uncommon in this grand tournament.
"I... really don't want to fight anymore. I can't land a hit on you, it's really disheartening..." Yu Mood opened his mouth, speaking with a tone of deep frustration.
From his words, it was clear that he didn't want to fight, not that he had decided to stop fighting.
"Well then, let's carry on!"
Lin Yun nodded, speaking his piece.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Lin Yun's longsword quivered in his hand, and he executed another new move.
"See how you like this sword strike..."
Simultaneously, Lin Yun announced.
Time passed quickly, and an hour had slipped away in the blink of an eye.
"Look at my ultimate skill! Hah!"
On the other side, Yu Mood suddenly shouted out loud.
"Boom——"
He sprinted towards Lin Yun, throwing a powerful punch.
"Hehe..."
Lin Yun chuckled lightly.
During this hour, Yu Mood had attempted this same action multiple times.
"Hm?"
However, as Yu Mood closed the gap between them, Lin Yun's body tightened, his eyes narrowing momentarily.
"Not good! He's onto me!"
Seeing Lin Yun's change, Yu Mood muttered to himself as he accelerated.
"So, this ultimate skill isn't a simple one, is it!"
Lin Yun thought to himself.
At the same time, he raised his sword and quickly drew a circle in the air, unleashing the profound mystery of Tai Chi that he was most proficient in.
Though he hadn't used the Bloodthirsty Sword, he had already executed the technique at its highest degree.
"Boom!"
Swiftly, Yu Mood's attack and the Tai Chi technique performed by Lin Yun collided with each other.
A powerful gust erupted from the center of their attacks, covering the entire fighting stage.
"Yu Mood actually used his ultimate skill!"
"I wonder if Lin Yun was prepared..."
Below the fighting stage, many cultivators jumped, commenting in surprise at the huge commotion
"Bang——"
At that moment, a huge sound echoed out, and a figure flew back from the center of the fighting stage.
"Is that... Yu Mood?"
"Is Lin Yun okay?"
A few people with stronger power were the first to identify the figure's aura, expressing their shock.
Lyn Yun blocked such a powerful attack?
Earlier, when Yu Mood launched his ultimate skill, they had been watching Lin Yun's response. They had noticed that Lin Yun hadn't used the Bloodthirsty Sword... but even so, under the circumstances of Yu Mood's sudden burst of energy, he had blocked Yu Mood's ultimate attack, raising their evaluations of Lin Yun's innate capabilities.
On the fighting stage.
The storm created by the collision of their skills gradually dissipated.
At this moment, some noticed that Lin Yun wasn't undaunted; he had retreated a considerable distance, and his clothes were slightly torn, but... in the end, Lin Yun had managed to block the attack with only minor injuries, even counterattacking and dealing serious damage to Yu Mood.
The masses still didn't underestimate Lin Yun's power.
"Such incredible innate strength, coupled with the use of the Bloodthirsty Sword, it's no wonder Lin Yun is so strong..."
"I wonder how Lin Yun would handle my ultimate skill..."
Several cultivators thought to themselves.
"I almost underestimated you."
At this moment, looking at Yu Mood not far away, Lin Yun smiled faintly, speaking.
He came close to underestimating him... but he hadn't...
He had thought, if this Yu Mood didn't have something up his sleeve, why would he willingly fight with him for such a long time?
As expected, Yu Mood, who held a record of nearly six thousand consecutive victories, was befitting of his title as a monstrous genius.
Not long after, Yu Mood had played his trump card.
A powerful defensive suit, a powerful gauntlet artifact.
If he hadn't been on guard, he might have really suffered a significant loss.
"Lord Lin, your reflexes are impressive. However, my defensive suit is really strong. Your earlier attack, although it had heavily injured me, but I major in cultivating body strength. This minor injury to me is nothing, compared to you. You didn't suffer many injuries, but I wonder for how long you can endure..."
Yu Mood gave an embarrassed smile, speaking.
"If that's the case, there's nothing more to say. My Bloodthirsty Sword has been yearning for some fresh blood to absorb. I can only assume that the quality of your blood, a prodigy like yourself, would be much better..." Lin Yun spoke lightly, smiling.
"Buzz!"
As he spoke, Lin Yun reached out his hand, the ordinary longsword in his hand disappeared, replaced by a blood-red longsword emitting a mesmerising aura, a cheerful humming sound following. It seems to agree with Lin Yun's words.
