Oh no, he didnât block it.
Zhou Wen was alarmed.
Will the same thing happen again?
Zhang Chunqiu looked at Ya, who was burning with fiend flames, and muttered to himself with a frown.
Many people in the six families were very disappointed. Although they didnât know who Ya was, there was no doubt that Uesugi Nao was from overseas. Most people still supported Ya.
However, Yaâs body didnât explode like the Heavy-Armored Titan. Although his body was burning with fiend flames, he was still brandishing his sword to attack. The terrifying fiend flames seemed like an illusion that didnât exist. They failed to damage his body.
After blocking a few more strikes, Uesugi Nao realized that Ya hadnât exploded. Even his clothes and armor werenât burned. She was filled with puzzlement.
How can there be no reaction? Could there really be a sinless person in this world? No way. He must have the ability to restrain the Purgatory Fiend Flames that prevented him from being killed.
Uesugi Nao felt depressed.
The Purgatory Fiend Flames were extremely powerful, but there was a condition. That person had to commit a sin before the Purgatory Fiend Flames could be effective.
Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust, and so on were all Original Sins. No one in the world had no Original Sin at all. Therefore, the Purgatory Fiend Flames were practically invincible against humans. The heavier the Original Sins, the stronger the damage target received.
Back then, Heavy-Armored Titan had been killed by the Purgatory Fiend Flames because its owner had committed too many massacres. Furthermore, it had also committed the sins of wrath and gluttony. This led to its explosion.
However, Ya was completely unaffected. Uesugi Nao found it impossible.
Soon, the people from the Federation and overseas realized that Great Skyfiendâs attack didnât seem to have any effect on Ya. The people from the Federation were naturally overjoyed, but the great devils overseas had solemn expressions.
The battle continued. The situation was already somewhat disadvantageous for Uesugi Nao. She knew that she had to defeat Ya as soon as possible. Time wasnât on her side.
From the looks of it, I can only use Great Skyfiendâs Wheel of Destiny.
Uesugi Nao made up her mind as she stared at Ya through her visor. The demonic aura on her body quickly converged.
Suddenly, Uesugi Naoâs figure vanished. When she appeared again, she was already behind Ya.
Crack!
Yaâs body had been sliced apart at the waist at some point in time.
Everyone was horrified. Even Zhou Wen couldnât tell how Uesugi Nao had killed Ya. It wasnât a matter of speed. No matter how fast a Mythical creature was, it was impossible for Zhou Wen, who had powerful eyesight, to not see its trajectory.
Zhou Wen really didnât see anything. Uesugi Naoâs body seemed to vanish when she completed the strike.
It wasnât teleportation either. This was because attacks could only be delivered after completing the teleportation. As for Uesugi Naoâs strike, it was completed when she disappeared. This was different from teleportation.
Many experts from the Federation felt their hearts turn cold as they felt a chill run down their spines. If Uesugi Nao used this strike against them, few had the confidence of dodging it.
Uesugi Naoâs expression didnât look good when she saw Yaâs body split into two. This was because she felt that something was amiss when she killed Ya. She quickly retreated.
Suddenly, the two halves of the corpse turned into a broken puppet. The other Ya appeared where he had been standing when he first entered the arena.
Everyone was stunned. They couldnât believe that Ya, who had fought with Uesugi Nao for so long, was actually a puppet.
Uesugi Naoâs expression turned nasty. She had already used her strongest strike, so it was impossible for her to deliver a second strike in a short period of time. Now, she understood why the Purgatory Fiend Flames were useless against Ya. It was because it wasnât Ya, but a puppet.
Primordial Immortal Sword automatically returned to the true Yaâs hand. He held the Primordial Immortal Sword and stared at Uesugi Nao like a devil.
At that moment, everyone felt that Ya was as powerful as a devil. This wasnât a feeling brought about by strength, but a psychological pressure.
Regardless of whether Yaâs true strength could defeat Uesugi Nao, his ability to toy with his opponent was even more terrifying than his true destructive power.
The unknown was most terrifying. Once a certain power was known by others and had psychological expectations, the horror instilled would decrease. The present Ya felt unfathomable and terrifying.
Uesugi Nao didnât hesitate and chose to forfeit. She knew very well that she had lost this time because of the unequal intelligence between them. If she continued fighting, there was only death.
If she wanted to defeat her opponent, she had to first figure out her opponentâs abilities. She no longer had that chance.
With Uesugi Naoâs withdrawal, the first name on the ranking became Ya. As for Great Skyfiend, it retreated to second place. All the Guardians and Companion Beasts on the ranking automatically dropped by one.
Yaâs entire body was covered, and no one could tell what expression he had. After obtaining victory, he left the void arena.
âHeâs really too strong. As expected of the owner of Primordial Sword Immortal. Just a puppet made Great Skyfiend retreat.â
âHeâs practically invincible. Primordial Sword Immortal is powerful, but its owner is even more terrifying. I donât think there will be any more surprises in this ranking battle, right?â
The citizens of the Federation were amazed at Yaâs strength. This name quickly spread throughout the Federation. Some people viewed him as a hero.
Zhou Wen didnât think so. Ya was indeed very strong, but the combat strength displayed by Uesugi Nao was also very terrifying. It could only be said that Ya won because of his successful strategy.
However, the same strategy might not succeed a second time. Therefore, it was difficult to say if he could maintain first place.
After returning to campus, Zhou Wen saw many reports regarding Ya. As Ya was likely from the Federation, the various media outlets of the Federation touted Ya as a hero. They held him in high esteem, raising the enthusiasm of the Federation citizens. They kept guessing who Ya was.
After Zhou Wen read the report, he smiled bitterly to himself.
If Ya is really Zhong Ziya, itâs hard to tell if heâs a hero or a devil to the Federation.
The battle between the two pumped zeal and ardor through Zhou Wenâs vessels. He had the urge to fight personally.
However, Zhou Wen quickly regained his rationality. He felt that grinding dungeons was more practical. Unfortunately, he couldnât find opponents like Ya and Great Skyfiend in-game.
If only I could scan them into the game
, Zhou Wen thought to himself.
After Feng Qiuyan applied for leave, the three of them were prepared to set off. To their surprise, after hearing of the matter, Li Xuan joined them. They set off as a group of four.
âAfter watching Ya and Great Skyfiendâs battle, I feel like getting a Guardian to play with.â On the way, Li Xuan mentioned the battle.
âGuardians are external forces after all. Itâs not good.â Feng Qiuyan clearly rejected Guardians. He wished to become stronger by himself.
âOld Zhou, what do you think? How does it feel to have a Guardian?â Li Xuan asked Zhou Wen.
âI donât know. Iâve only killed a few Guardians and never had one,â Zhou Wen said.
