C332 Martial Will!(1)
After the student from the Heavenly Martial Academy stepped onto the stage, Moh Lunhui listened to his introduction, but it didn't seem to affect him. Without a change in expression, Moh Lunhui swung his sword again...
"Moh, please..."
Seeing that Moh Lunhui was still intent on attacking, the student finally became frightened. He threw his badge in desperation, hoping to be quickly transported out of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Unfortunately, the realm's rules required time to take effect. Before he could be sent out, Moh Lunhui's sword struck him, cutting him in half.
This incident made many others with similar thoughts realize their plans were futile. Several more people threw their badges and were sent out of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Outside, the outcry against Moh Lunhui continued to grow louder.
This time, even the previously indifferent vice principals and elders of the Heavenly Martial Academy couldn't sit by any longer. Moh Lunhui had disregarded the original rules, earning a reputation as a ruthless killer. If he continued, the three countries might face a fate similar to the Fallen Sun Country, teetering on the brink of disaster.
However, Elder Beiming maintained his stance, insisting that Moh Lunhui hadn't broken any rules, leaving them unable to forcibly open the Heavenly Martial Realm.
So, the battle must go on!
In the isolated realm of the Heavenly Martial, the scene was less chaotic than before, even though more than one person had left. Moh Lunhui's challenge only paused briefly before resuming.
"I challenge..."
Just as Moh Lunhui began to speak, Woo Zhengyang swiftly moved, snatching Fu Chuan's badge. Fu Chuan was startled, but Woo Zhengyang's speed was incredible, leaving him no time to react before his badge was taken.
While Fu Chuan was still puzzled, he heard Moh Lunhui continue, "Twenty-fifth place!"
"Thank you, senior brother..." Fu Chuan bowed in gratitude to Woo Zhengyang before leaving the Heavenly Martial Realm.
Unbeknownst to him, those ranked behind Fu Chuan had already left, and Moh Lunhui's score had reached over sixty points. Although Woo Zhengyang had taken Fu Chuan's badge, the rules of the Heavenly Martial Realm didn't recognize his actions, so Fu Chuan's points were still credited to Moh Lunhui.
"I challenge the twenty-fourth place!" Moh Lunhui ignored everything else and continued his battle.
Fu Chuan was already the second-ranked inner disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, and those ahead of him were formidable opponents. Among them were some who refused to back down, and the twenty-fourth place was one such individual. This person was the second-ranked disciple of the Sound Fiend Sect, with combat skills second only to Yelv Qingyin.
The disciples of the Sound Demon Sect are known for their offensive skills, though their defense isn't as strong. However, their attacks have an unparalleled advantage. The second-ranked member of the Sound Demon Sect decided to give it a shot.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, the disciple launched a full-scale attack. A jade flute appeared at his lips, and its soft, melodic notes quickly enveloped the entire island, drawing everyone into its spell.
Upon hearing the flute, Woo Zhengyang realized that this instrument was no ordinary piece. Although it might not match Yelv Qingyin's ancient zither, it was not far behind. For the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, many sects lend their disciples treasured items. However, it's rare to see a sect like the Sound Demon Sect bring out two special artifacts at once. It's not that they are unwilling, but rather they simply don't have many to spare.
Artifacts with special effects are at least of high-grade quality, sometimes even top-grade. The jade flute of the Sound Demon Sect's second disciple also had a unique effect that influenced people's minds. Unlike Yelv Qingyin's heavenly zither, which required a deliberate activation for its surprise attack, the flute's effect was constant. From the moment the music began, it was hauntingly beautiful, making it impossible for listeners to resist its allure.
In terms of power, the Heavenly Lute might have the upper hand, but the gradual encroachment of the Jade Flute is not far behind. This was likely his trump card to challenge Moh Lunhui. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Moh Lunhui's deadly strike earlier was due to a soul attack.
Compared to Moh Lunhui's genuine soul attack, their use of artifacts for soul attacks was incredibly weak. Thus, while his Jade Flute affected many, it had no impact on Moh Lunhui and Woo Zhengyang.
With a single sword strike, the disciple from the Sound Fiend Sect was split in two. Even as he fell, he maintained the posture of holding the Jade Flute, and many could still hear the mournful sound echoing in their ears...
A sharp crack made Woo Zhengyang's eyes narrow slightly. As the second disciple of the Sound Fiend Sect was sent out of the Heavenly Martial Realm, his body was already split in half, yet he still held the Jade Flute in his hand.
Woo Zhengyang was puzzled. Since the cut was made from above, why didn't the Jade Flute, which was at the disciple's lips, collide with Moh Lunhui's sword energy?
